1 00:00:17,480 --> 00:00:19,600 Speaker 1: The Charlie kirkshow starts. 2 00:00:19,760 --> 00:00:22,840 Speaker 2: Now, why we have to do what we're doing one 3 00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:28,560 Speaker 2: point two trillion dollar trade deficit. We've exported eighteen billion 4 00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:32,400 Speaker 2: dollars worth of our wealth since China joined the WTO 5 00:00:32,479 --> 00:00:35,240 Speaker 2: in two thousand and one by running these trade deficits, 6 00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:39,000 Speaker 2: and we'd give it away our houses or office buildings, 7 00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:41,040 Speaker 2: or food supply or farmland. 8 00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:42,280 Speaker 1: That's got to stop. 9 00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:45,720 Speaker 2: It's threatening our economic prosperity national security. 10 00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:48,880 Speaker 3: So justin point in fact, the reason that the European Union, 11 00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:52,159 Speaker 3: even though they are our fourth biggest market for agricultural products, 12 00:00:52,159 --> 00:00:55,720 Speaker 3: as you know, don't take as much American pork as 13 00:00:55,720 --> 00:00:57,480 Speaker 3: you would like is because they have issues. 14 00:00:57,200 --> 00:00:59,120 Speaker 1: With hormones used in fork. 15 00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:00,560 Speaker 3: I don't want to get into a whole debate over that, 16 00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:04,240 Speaker 3: but that's it's not an issue about tariff's. Conservative economists 17 00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:05,360 Speaker 3: of the American enterproducts. 18 00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:08,399 Speaker 4: No wait loa wait, hold on, Jake, no no no, no, no, no, no, 19 00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:10,160 Speaker 4: no no no, this is really important. You can't just 20 00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:12,800 Speaker 4: say that. So here's the bottom line. They are using 21 00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:17,759 Speaker 4: fake science and unsubstantiated claims to not take our products. 22 00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:19,399 Speaker 1: So it isn't just that they have high tariffs. 23 00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:20,800 Speaker 4: Thank you for making this point for me, by the 24 00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:22,600 Speaker 4: way I mean to make it. It's not just the 25 00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:26,319 Speaker 4: tariff numbers. It's the way they've treated our products. Oh sorry, 26 00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:28,920 Speaker 4: we can't take your beef since two thousand and two 27 00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:32,120 Speaker 4: because you use a certain type of feed. That's just 28 00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:36,640 Speaker 4: absolute bull. It is not correct and not appropriate. Our supplies, 29 00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:40,440 Speaker 4: our farmers and ranchers, we produce the safest, the most secure, 30 00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:44,000 Speaker 4: the best food in the world. And so to use 31 00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:45,880 Speaker 4: that for you to say, oh, oh my goodness, we 32 00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:48,559 Speaker 4: can't do it because of this reason, it's absolutely wrong 33 00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:50,200 Speaker 4: and it's not based on sound science. 34 00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:50,480 Speaker 1: Okay. 35 00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:53,080 Speaker 4: The bottom line is this, in the last four years, 36 00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:55,880 Speaker 4: the cost of inputs for our farmers lane up thirty percent. 37 00:01:56,400 --> 00:02:00,000 Speaker 4: In the last four years, we had an agriculture expert 38 00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:04,400 Speaker 4: deficit that increased from zero when President Trump left to 39 00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:09,120 Speaker 4: forty nine billion. Dollars. Are farming and our farmers and 40 00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:13,440 Speaker 4: ranchers are hurting. They are operating at profits of margins 41 00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:15,760 Speaker 4: of profit that are thinner than they have in a 42 00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:19,640 Speaker 4: really long time due to the policies of the last 43 00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:22,560 Speaker 4: four years. The long term, the tariffs worked, I mean, 44 00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:27,440 Speaker 4: the research shows that we had an activity increase in jobs, etc. 45 00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:31,600 Speaker 4: Until frankly, the Biden administration stopped enforcing some of those 46 00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:35,480 Speaker 4: the deal once we left office. In twenty twenty one. 47 00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:38,400 Speaker 5: The Treasury Secretary said on another network, We're going to 48 00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:40,920 Speaker 5: hold the course. It's not the kind of thing you 49 00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:44,640 Speaker 5: can negotiate away in days or weeks. That makes it 50 00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:48,239 Speaker 5: sound like the tariffs are staying in place at least 51 00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:51,640 Speaker 5: for days or weeks. Is that correct or is the 52 00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:55,040 Speaker 5: present considering postponing implementation to negotiate. 53 00:02:57,160 --> 00:03:00,320 Speaker 1: There is no postponing. They are definitely just paying place 54 00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:01,680 Speaker 1: for days and weeks. 55 00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:02,960 Speaker 6: That is sort of obvious. 56 00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:07,320 Speaker 7: The President needs to reset global trade. Everybody has a 57 00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:10,400 Speaker 7: trade surplus and we have a trade deficit. We are 58 00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:14,440 Speaker 7: paying away our future and our lives. The countries of 59 00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:16,800 Speaker 7: the world are ripping this off, and it's got to end. 60 00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:19,200 Speaker 7: The President has made it crystal crystal clear. 61 00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:20,800 Speaker 1: This is the policy. 62 00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:24,440 Speaker 7: We're going to protect the factories that come build in America. 63 00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:25,639 Speaker 8: We are going to protect them. 64 00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:27,079 Speaker 1: They're going to be successful. 65 00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:29,400 Speaker 7: That's why they're going to build in America, the greatest 66 00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:30,280 Speaker 7: economy in the earth. 67 00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:35,080 Speaker 9: We saw during COVID that optimal supply chains are not resilient, 68 00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:39,240 Speaker 9: and what I could say is the only good outcome 69 00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:42,760 Speaker 9: from COVID is it was a beta test for what 70 00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:46,040 Speaker 9: would happen if our supply chains got broken. And President 71 00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:52,200 Speaker 9: Trump has decided that we cannot be at risk like 72 00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:57,080 Speaker 9: that for our crucial medicines, for semiconductors they have for shipping, 73 00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:01,080 Speaker 9: and we are going to move forward. The American people 74 00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:03,520 Speaker 9: can know that they are going to have a more 75 00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:04,440 Speaker 9: secure future. 76 00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:05,920 Speaker 10: Well, Chris, why, I want my cake and eat it 77 00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:07,760 Speaker 10: too as well. So I want to bring the jobs 78 00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:09,280 Speaker 10: back to America, end of the day. 79 00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:10,440 Speaker 1: I do want zero tariffs. 80 00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:10,480 Speaker 11: You. 81 00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:13,000 Speaker 10: Growing up in Kansas, since the day I was born, 82 00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:15,280 Speaker 10: I've heard farmers say, you know, why does EUFFE have 83 00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:18,840 Speaker 10: a fifty percent tariff on American agriculture? India one hundred, 84 00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:22,120 Speaker 10: Canada two hundred, and Beyond the tariffs, it's the non 85 00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:24,720 Speaker 10: tariff barriers. A lot of those countries simply won't let 86 00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:26,600 Speaker 10: agriculture products into those countries. 87 00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:27,720 Speaker 1: So yeah, short. 88 00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:30,520 Speaker 10: Term pain, long term gain, bring the jobs back and 89 00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:32,840 Speaker 10: then get to true free reciprocal tariffs. 90 00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:35,560 Speaker 12: I got a report from the USTR last night that 91 00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:37,720 Speaker 12: more than fifty countries have reached out to the President 92 00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:40,680 Speaker 12: to begin a negotiation but they're doing that because they 93 00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:43,200 Speaker 12: understand that they bear a lot of the tariff, and 94 00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:45,080 Speaker 12: so I don't think that you're going to see a 95 00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:48,040 Speaker 12: big effect on the consumer in the US, because I 96 00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:50,440 Speaker 12: do think that the reason why we have a persistent 97 00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:53,040 Speaker 12: long run trade deficit is these people have very in 98 00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:55,760 Speaker 12: elastic supply. They've been dumping goods into the country in 99 00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:56,600 Speaker 12: order to create jobs. 100 00:04:56,640 --> 00:05:03,080 Speaker 13: Say in China, every day is a battle for your mind, 101 00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:05,960 Speaker 13: raging information coming from every angle. 102 00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:09,320 Speaker 14: But the will to the sea, fear not. You found 103 00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:12,359 Speaker 14: the place for truth, the voice of a generation that 104 00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:15,600 Speaker 14: still has the will to believe in the greatest country 105 00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:18,640 Speaker 14: in the history of the world. This is the Charlie 106 00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:19,480 Speaker 14: Kirk Show. 107 00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:22,920 Speaker 8: Fuck a lot, here we go. 108 00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:27,560 Speaker 15: Okay, everybody, Radio stations across the country, honored to be 109 00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:28,000 Speaker 15: with you. 110 00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:28,840 Speaker 16: As always. 111 00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:30,920 Speaker 15: I will be heading on the campus at the University 112 00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:34,240 Speaker 15: of South Carolina momentarily. But first we are here breaking 113 00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:37,200 Speaker 15: down all of the news of the day. In fact, 114 00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:39,400 Speaker 15: news is moving so quickly, it is moving at such 115 00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:42,640 Speaker 15: an accelerated pace right now that it is difficult to 116 00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:45,440 Speaker 15: keep up. It is moving so quick we have to 117 00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:50,080 Speaker 15: basically have five different chats open of different responses from 118 00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:55,960 Speaker 15: foreign nations regarding tariff threats, regarding reciprocity. 119 00:05:57,600 --> 00:05:59,240 Speaker 16: So there is a lot going on here. 120 00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:02,280 Speaker 15: But instead of going into all the details, because that's good, 121 00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:04,000 Speaker 15: it's going to change by every five minutes, I think 122 00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:07,120 Speaker 15: we need to take a step back and reset the 123 00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:11,200 Speaker 15: foundational framework, to reset a thirty thousand foot view of 124 00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:14,280 Speaker 15: exactly what's going on here. President Donald Trump has been 125 00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:18,240 Speaker 15: railing against bad trade deals for the last thirty or 126 00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:24,160 Speaker 15: forty years. President Donald Trump, as a businessman, identified trade deficits, 127 00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:27,360 Speaker 15: and the way trade is supposed to be constituted is 128 00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:30,040 Speaker 15: we do what we do best, and you do what 129 00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:33,920 Speaker 15: you do best, and we will barter. By doing so, 130 00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:36,640 Speaker 15: you will make us wealthier and we will trade and 131 00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:39,440 Speaker 15: we will both be able to have a flourishing future. 132 00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:42,039 Speaker 15: But ended up happening in the nineteen nineties and early 133 00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:44,960 Speaker 15: two thousands. In the nineteen nineties, there were three critical 134 00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:48,040 Speaker 15: mistakes made by Bill Clinton, the entrance of China into 135 00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:53,640 Speaker 15: the World Trade Organization, the NAFTA, and also the repeal 136 00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:57,760 Speaker 15: of the idea of investment bank and commercial banks. That's 137 00:06:57,760 --> 00:07:00,520 Speaker 15: a whole separate issue for another time, but the inflation 138 00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:03,560 Speaker 15: of investment in commercial banks allowed the cheap flow of 139 00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:05,600 Speaker 15: money to go into the capital markets in a way 140 00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:09,640 Speaker 15: that that specific deregulation I think actually led us to 141 00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:12,560 Speaker 15: the two thousand and eight financial crisis and the lords 142 00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:15,640 Speaker 15: of easy money leading us closer and closer to fiscal 143 00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:21,040 Speaker 15: and financial apocalypse. Now, free trade did make the stock 144 00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:26,160 Speaker 15: market go up. Nobody is doubting that unlimited, unfettered free 145 00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:29,840 Speaker 15: trade did make the ten percent do very well. 146 00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:31,240 Speaker 16: I am part of the ten percent. 147 00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:33,920 Speaker 15: I can say this as somebody who is part of 148 00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:38,480 Speaker 15: the evil ten percent of the country. When you are 149 00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:42,920 Speaker 15: on the upper part of the socioeconomic ladder, specifically, if 150 00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:46,760 Speaker 15: you do work that does not involve your hands but 151 00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:49,280 Speaker 15: only involves your brain, that does not involve your body, 152 00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:52,560 Speaker 15: but only involves your brain. Free trade is traditionally a 153 00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:55,480 Speaker 15: great idea because we became an information economy and a 154 00:07:55,640 --> 00:08:00,840 Speaker 15: consumer economy and not an industrial one, because we were 155 00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:04,480 Speaker 15: entering into a technological revolution. Because that we were entering 156 00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:08,960 Speaker 15: into a brave new world of unfettered, unapologetic free trade, 157 00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:11,000 Speaker 15: that we would no longer need to make stuff. In fact, 158 00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:14,000 Speaker 15: that is what the third world does. The idea was 159 00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:16,160 Speaker 15: that the third world will make our products for us, 160 00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:21,600 Speaker 15: and that we will be able to become wealthier. Francis 161 00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:25,920 Speaker 15: Fukiyama famously wrote a book called The End of History. 162 00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:30,640 Speaker 15: The assumption was permanent US dominance. It was a post 163 00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:35,040 Speaker 15: Cold War mentality. It was that neoliberalism is the end 164 00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:38,360 Speaker 15: of history. Fukiyama wrote in the End of History that 165 00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:40,760 Speaker 15: this will be the end of war, that neoliberalism was 166 00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:45,240 Speaker 15: the apex of civilization. Neoliberalism was course, invade the world. 167 00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:48,480 Speaker 15: Invite the world. The idea of the Western liberal order 168 00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:50,760 Speaker 15: will be able to be spread to all corners of 169 00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:55,560 Speaker 15: the world, and we will end the Escaton. The Escaton, 170 00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:58,959 Speaker 15: of course, is a Christian view of when christ rules 171 00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:04,000 Speaker 15: are for a thousand year reign. Imminetizing the Esketon is 172 00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:06,760 Speaker 15: what the free traders thought they were going to get. 173 00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:09,480 Speaker 15: In fact, I remember growing up. I was in sixth 174 00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:14,720 Speaker 15: grade at MacArthur Middle School right there on Palatine Road, 175 00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:15,800 Speaker 15: right where I grew up, and. 176 00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:22,240 Speaker 16: I remember we would watch they had these morning news bits. 177 00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:24,600 Speaker 15: I forgot the name of it. Maybe Blake would know. 178 00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:26,960 Speaker 15: It was like five to ten minutes long. It was 179 00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:30,800 Speaker 15: like mandatory must runs. I remember one of them. I'll 180 00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:34,599 Speaker 15: think of it. I could find it in a break anyway. 181 00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:35,679 Speaker 16: It was the news clips. 182 00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:39,880 Speaker 15: In one of them, they said, can you find a 183 00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:42,480 Speaker 15: single thing when you're walking through a parking lot at 184 00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:44,920 Speaker 15: Walmart and ask people what they bought that was made 185 00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:45,400 Speaker 15: in America? 186 00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:46,200 Speaker 16: And the answer was no. 187 00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:51,120 Speaker 15: And of course all my sixth grade classmates like, that's wrong, 188 00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:55,040 Speaker 15: that's wrong. And I remember the teacher would interject, and 189 00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:56,920 Speaker 15: I wouldn't even say the teacher was liberal, the teacher 190 00:09:57,000 --> 00:10:02,160 Speaker 15: was neoliberal. And the teacher would interject and say, no, 191 00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:06,520 Speaker 15: this is a good thing. This made us wealthier. We 192 00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:10,480 Speaker 15: don't have to do that work. We are liberated. In fact, 193 00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:13,160 Speaker 15: what we were told, what I was told growing up, 194 00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:16,800 Speaker 15: is that free trade would then make it where the 195 00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:22,240 Speaker 15: Russians will be wearing Levi jeans, eating McDonald's, taking selfies. 196 00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:26,800 Speaker 15: Well at the time, just listening to iPads, iPods. And 197 00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:29,640 Speaker 15: it's not even that it's a bad thing for other 198 00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:31,160 Speaker 15: things to be made in other countries. 199 00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:31,760 Speaker 16: Of course not. 200 00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:35,240 Speaker 15: We want a competition, we want markets. We do not 201 00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:40,040 Speaker 15: want no trade. Instead, it is when nothing is made 202 00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:42,360 Speaker 15: in America, or next to nothing, when it's such a 203 00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:46,160 Speaker 15: small percentage when making something in America, almost people look 204 00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:48,600 Speaker 15: differently at you. Why would you do that now we 205 00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:51,120 Speaker 15: also must be fair. We have to be fair in 206 00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:55,520 Speaker 15: our analysis partially but not mainly. Partially as to why 207 00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:59,640 Speaker 15: the corporate class decided to move these jobs overseas is 208 00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:01,720 Speaker 15: that you unions got very greedy in the. 209 00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:03,280 Speaker 16: Nineteen seventies and nineteen eighties. 210 00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:06,920 Speaker 15: This is a lesser appreciated component of this analysis is 211 00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:10,199 Speaker 15: unions thought that they were too big for their bridges. 212 00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:13,920 Speaker 15: They were like, what are you gonna like leave? Literally, 213 00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:17,280 Speaker 15: some of the labor unions would look at the corporate 214 00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:20,160 Speaker 15: class and say, we want a forty percent increase in wages, 215 00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:23,560 Speaker 15: we want more days off, and the corporate class decided 216 00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:28,439 Speaker 15: to get back at the unions. America became less competitive. 217 00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:34,000 Speaker 15: Now again, a lot of the Trump coalition is union labor. However, 218 00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:36,719 Speaker 15: as Blake Astuteley pointed out, find one part of the 219 00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:40,360 Speaker 15: American economy that is mass unionized that isn't totally awful. 220 00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:44,120 Speaker 15: It's really hard to find, in fact, in the fact 221 00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:49,439 Speaker 15: where mass unionization, especially public sector unization, public sector teacher unions, 222 00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:55,240 Speaker 15: public sector janitorial unions, public sector government unions. I think 223 00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:57,880 Speaker 15: that there's a place, for example, a carpenter's union. They're 224 00:11:57,920 --> 00:12:01,400 Speaker 15: very good at training they're very good at apprenticeship. However, 225 00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:05,160 Speaker 15: there needs to be a balance between capital and labor. 226 00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:08,200 Speaker 15: And what happened, of course, is the capital, the corporate 227 00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:10,559 Speaker 15: class having no allegiance to the United States of America, 228 00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:14,360 Speaker 15: and the fact that unions overreached and unions got cocky. 229 00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:17,680 Speaker 15: They looked at the corporate class in the eye and said, 230 00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:20,200 Speaker 15: we're American labor. What are you going to really go 231 00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:23,920 Speaker 15: and make that trinket in China? And the mackenzie type said, yep, 232 00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:26,480 Speaker 15: that's exactly what we're going to do. Actually, and it 233 00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:30,520 Speaker 15: was made easier by this decision. Understand, what President Donald 234 00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:35,520 Speaker 15: Trump is doing is fixing and remedying the mistakes of past. 235 00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:36,880 Speaker 15: If you had to go look at what is the 236 00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:40,720 Speaker 15: original sin as to why we are in the place 237 00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:42,760 Speaker 15: that we are in. There are many places, there are 238 00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:45,200 Speaker 15: many decisions, but the one where we actually have it 239 00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:48,880 Speaker 15: on tape. Rarely do you have the original sin on tape. 240 00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:52,760 Speaker 15: And it was televised on c SPIN. And that is 241 00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:55,880 Speaker 15: when we decided to make what was then a third 242 00:12:55,920 --> 00:13:01,200 Speaker 15: World and maybe a second World country entrance into the 243 00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:05,800 Speaker 15: World Trade Organization. This was a glide path. We did 244 00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:08,319 Speaker 15: not do this to try and make us have greater 245 00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:10,960 Speaker 15: harmony with China. In fact, you could make an argument 246 00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:15,160 Speaker 15: that our relations with China were probably better before China 247 00:13:15,160 --> 00:13:18,000 Speaker 15: went into the World Trade Organization. The free trade zealots 248 00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:21,200 Speaker 15: told us that trade will bring us peace. In fact, 249 00:13:21,559 --> 00:13:25,080 Speaker 15: it turns out that mass trade with China brought us 250 00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:29,240 Speaker 15: closer and closer to conflict. President Donald Trump is fixing 251 00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:32,120 Speaker 15: this problem. From Bill Clinton play cut one twenty one. 252 00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:36,160 Speaker 13: The WTO agreement will move China in the right direction. 253 00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:38,960 Speaker 13: It will advance the goals of America has worked for 254 00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:43,240 Speaker 13: in China for the past three decades, and of course, 255 00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:48,440 Speaker 13: it will advance our own economic interests. Economically, this agreement 256 00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:52,559 Speaker 13: is the equivalent of a one way street. It requires 257 00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:56,120 Speaker 13: China to open its markets with a fifth of the 258 00:13:56,120 --> 00:14:00,120 Speaker 13: world's population, potentially the biggest markets in the world, to 259 00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:04,400 Speaker 13: both our products and services in unprecedented new ways. All 260 00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:07,000 Speaker 13: we do is to agree to maintain the present access 261 00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:12,559 Speaker 13: which China enjoys. Chinese terifts and telecommunications, products to automobiles, 262 00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:15,680 Speaker 13: to agriculture will fall by half or more over just 263 00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:18,719 Speaker 13: five years. For the first time, our companies will be 264 00:14:18,760 --> 00:14:21,920 Speaker 13: able to sell and distribute products in China made by 265 00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:26,280 Speaker 13: workers here in America without being forced to relocate manufacturing 266 00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:31,520 Speaker 13: to China, sell through the Chinese government, or transfer valuable technology. 267 00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:36,840 Speaker 13: For the first time, we'll be able to export products 268 00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:38,640 Speaker 13: without exporting jobs. 269 00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:43,200 Speaker 15: Boy, there is so much wrong with that. I'll analyze 270 00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:46,520 Speaker 15: that after the break. You look at that there's still 271 00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:51,320 Speaker 15: joint technology transfers. We are not allowed to sell our 272 00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:53,920 Speaker 15: products in China. Our technology companies are not allowed to 273 00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:56,560 Speaker 15: sell in the interior of China.

You are living through history. 321 00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:30,639 Speaker 15: You're living through the attempted realignment of a failed rules 322 00:17:30,680 --> 00:17:34,359 Speaker 15: based international order. So one of the reasons why President 323 00:17:34,359 --> 00:17:37,679 Speaker 15: Trump's approval rating is going gone up. President Trump's daily 324 00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:40,600 Speaker 15: tracker of approval rating went up last week after the 325 00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:45,000 Speaker 15: application of tarots. It's so fascinating to me. I feel 326 00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:48,879 Speaker 15: as if I live in two different realities. And I 327 00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:51,240 Speaker 15: say this, by the way, as someone who is very 328 00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:54,680 Speaker 15: invested in the stock market. Thankfully I have a great 329 00:17:55,880 --> 00:17:58,440 Speaker 15: person and team that helps manage that stuff. I was 330 00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:00,639 Speaker 15: only down a couple percent. Well of other people were 331 00:18:00,680 --> 00:18:03,119 Speaker 15: down a lot more. You could have hedges by the Vicks, 332 00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:05,800 Speaker 15: you can have buffers all that stuff. But I feel 333 00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:10,560 Speaker 15: as if I live in two different realities. I was 334 00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:15,920 Speaker 15: walking around Arizona, a certain part of Phoenix, Arizona this weekend, 335 00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:17,639 Speaker 15: and a very wealthy guy came up and he was 336 00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:18,160 Speaker 15: very worried. 337 00:18:18,840 --> 00:18:20,399 Speaker 16: Came out to me, Charlie, what is Trump think with 338 00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:22,520 Speaker 16: these tariffs? What do you think? What do you think? 339 00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:22,879 Speaker 16: What do you think? 340 00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:24,560 Speaker 15: I said, Look, everything I'm going to tell you privately, 341 00:18:24,560 --> 00:18:27,119 Speaker 15: I also say publicly, I have no inside information, and 342 00:18:27,160 --> 00:18:28,800 Speaker 15: if I did, I certainly wouldn't just share. 343 00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:29,240 Speaker 16: It with you. 344 00:18:29,920 --> 00:18:31,720 Speaker 15: Very worried, he said, you know, my portfolios down, my 345 00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:35,520 Speaker 15: market's down zone. Okay, kind of almost freaking out. And 346 00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:39,000 Speaker 15: then in the other's reality, when I went out to 347 00:18:39,040 --> 00:18:43,000 Speaker 15: dinner with my wife, guy comes up to me and 348 00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:44,359 Speaker 15: he says, Charlie, I'm a welder. 349 00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:46,760 Speaker 16: This is the greatest week I've ever seen in politics. 350 00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:48,320 Speaker 16: So what do you mean? 351 00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:53,159 Speaker 15: He said, Finally someone is giving the middle finger to 352 00:18:53,200 --> 00:18:55,800 Speaker 15: the corporate class, and they're going to offend those of us. 353 00:18:56,560 --> 00:18:57,840 Speaker 16: That work for a living. 354 00:18:59,080 --> 00:19:01,680 Speaker 15: US blue collar world have a fighter in the White House, 355 00:19:01,720 --> 00:19:02,760 Speaker 15: and we've been waiting for it. 356 00:19:03,119 --> 00:19:03,199 Speaker 8: Now. 357 00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:05,320 Speaker 15: I'm not even saying one is right and one is wrong. 358 00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:08,439 Speaker 15: They're both are very valued constituencies. One is the capital 359 00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:11,800 Speaker 15: class and one is the labor. And properly understood and 360 00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:18,200 Speaker 15: properly balanced, you have hopefully some brokered equilibrium between capital 361 00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:21,520 Speaker 15: and labor. Understand, the top ten percent, which I am 362 00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:23,119 Speaker 15: part of and many of the audience are part of, 363 00:19:23,359 --> 00:19:25,359 Speaker 15: own about eighty eight percent of the equities. 364 00:19:25,359 --> 00:19:26,560 Speaker 16: Now it's a little. 365 00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:30,280 Speaker 15: Deceiving because a lot of teachers, and a lot of janitors, 366 00:19:30,560 --> 00:19:32,600 Speaker 15: and a lot of people that have four O one 367 00:19:32,680 --> 00:19:40,200 Speaker 15: k's they might get blended into a major wealth management fund. 368 00:19:41,320 --> 00:19:43,720 Speaker 15: Nobody is happy with what's going on with the stock market. 369 00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:46,560 Speaker 15: But again America, ten percent of Americans owte eighty eight 370 00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:49,520 Speaker 15: percent of equities. Next for own twelve percent of the 371 00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:52,439 Speaker 15: stock market, and the bottom fifty percent has debt. They 372 00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:54,760 Speaker 15: have credit card bills, They rent their homes, and they 373 00:19:54,800 --> 00:19:57,159 Speaker 15: have auto loans, and they've been. 374 00:19:57,080 --> 00:20:00,879 Speaker 16: Screaming and crying for some relief. 375 00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:06,040 Speaker 15: What's even worse is if Trump didn't do anything about this. 376 00:20:06,680 --> 00:20:08,760 Speaker 15: And I'm not even talking about economical because this is 377 00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:11,960 Speaker 15: a risk. This is a gamble. We must be honest 378 00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:15,200 Speaker 15: with This is an economic gamble. There is a risk 379 00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:17,680 Speaker 15: associated with it. I think it's going to work out. 380 00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:20,679 Speaker 15: I trust Stephen Miller, and I trust Susie Wilds, and 381 00:20:20,720 --> 00:20:23,040 Speaker 15: I trust Scott Besson, and I trust Jade Vance, and 382 00:20:23,119 --> 00:20:26,480 Speaker 15: of course most importantly I trust President Trump. But there 383 00:20:26,520 --> 00:20:29,120 Speaker 15: is a risk. There is a gamble involved in all 384 00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:32,439 Speaker 15: of this. But the greater risk would be if you 385 00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:36,840 Speaker 15: run on tariffs and you don't apply them, that would. 386 00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:39,520 Speaker 16: Be the end of democracy as we know it. 387 00:20:39,720 --> 00:20:43,879 Speaker 15: That means you could pander to a constituency endlessly to 388 00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:47,560 Speaker 15: just go get their votes and you don't do it. That, 389 00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:51,400 Speaker 15: to be perfectly honest with you, is far more horrifying 390 00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:56,520 Speaker 15: and terrifying to the health of our politics than the 391 00:20:56,560 --> 00:20:59,119 Speaker 15: stock market going down. And I know the stock market 392 00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:01,000 Speaker 15: right now going down is hurting. 393 00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:01,480 Speaker 16: A lot of people. 394 00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:04,840 Speaker 15: And look, this could go terribly wrong. Europe and China 395 00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:07,399 Speaker 15: are gonna be the main countries that will most likely escalate. 396 00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:09,680 Speaker 15: There could be a de dollarization. A lot of our 397 00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:12,000 Speaker 15: wealth in this country is built on the fact that 398 00:21:12,040 --> 00:21:16,000 Speaker 15: we are the world's reserve currency. So this is a 399 00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:19,000 Speaker 15: high wire. This is a live wire act, one that 400 00:21:19,040 --> 00:21:22,800 Speaker 15: I support. The markets knew this was coming, and Trump 401 00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:26,240 Speaker 15: gave plenty of notice, and still we are seeing a 402 00:21:26,359 --> 00:21:30,000 Speaker 15: sell off. But I think back to that blue collar 403 00:21:31,240 --> 00:21:32,840 Speaker 15: guy that came up to me. So this is the 404 00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:36,320 Speaker 15: best week of politics' ever seen. In the contrast, the 405 00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:40,280 Speaker 15: people that own in the market think this is terrible. 406 00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:43,600 Speaker 15: The people that have built the country think this is wonderful. 407 00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:47,160 Speaker 15: I would like to think them have them both think 408 00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:48,160 Speaker 15: something is wonderful. 409 00:21:48,400 --> 00:21:49,840 Speaker 16: However, if you look at. 410 00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:53,200 Speaker 15: The last five years, Wall Street has done very very well. 411 00:21:54,119 --> 00:21:57,560 Speaker 15: Main Street has not done very well the last five years, 412 00:21:57,600 --> 00:22:00,439 Speaker 15: been crushed by inflation, being crushed by consumer debt. They 413 00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:04,360 Speaker 15: don't own homes, and they have been screaming at their politicians, 414 00:22:04,720 --> 00:22:09,160 Speaker 15: please listen to us, please do something for us. And 415 00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:12,600 Speaker 15: that is what Donald Trump embodied, which is why, regardless 416 00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:15,280 Speaker 15: of what Trump said or how they attacked him, the 417 00:22:15,320 --> 00:22:20,480 Speaker 15: working class continued to rise up in record numbers. And 418 00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:22,840 Speaker 15: how President Trump is delivering it. He is the promise 419 00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:28,480 Speaker 15: keeper president. We've seen that on the border. The idea 420 00:22:28,480 --> 00:22:31,040 Speaker 15: of these tariffs is to smoke out behavior targeted at 421 00:22:31,080 --> 00:22:34,560 Speaker 15: American exports, and some of it is direct tariffs. But 422 00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:37,840 Speaker 15: it's not only that. There's a lot of howling going 423 00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:40,520 Speaker 15: on right now, and some of it is understandable. A 424 00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:45,120 Speaker 15: lot of countries got used to the existing system. Well, 425 00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:48,720 Speaker 15: Trump is starting our thousand mile journey with a great, 426 00:22:48,760 --> 00:22:54,320 Speaker 15: big leap. But most importantly is he's fulfilling the promises 427 00:22:54,520 --> 00:22:58,920 Speaker 15: that he made. And you want to see a much 428 00:22:58,960 --> 00:23:03,159 Speaker 15: more dramatic, horrifying political moment if President Trump would have 429 00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:06,200 Speaker 15: just said, huh, just kidding, just like ever the politician, 430 00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:09,080 Speaker 15: I say one thing and do another. Instead, it's promises made, 431 00:23:09,080 --> 00:23:09,680 Speaker 15: promises kept. 432 00:23:09,800 --> 00:23:18,560 Speaker 17: Be right back, Welcome back to this Real America's Voice 433 00:23:18,600 --> 00:23:19,200 Speaker 17: news break. 434 00:23:19,320 --> 00:23:20,479 Speaker 6: I'm Terrence Bads. 435 00:23:21,080 --> 00:23:23,960 Speaker 17: Dozens of countries are reportedly ready to negotiate in the 436 00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:27,879 Speaker 17: face of President Trump's tariffs.

Okay, this is an amazing story. 515 00:27:28,040 --> 00:27:33,040 Speaker 15: So I have a new obsession, which is I believe 516 00:27:33,080 --> 00:27:35,000 Speaker 15: the fight of the twenty first century is going to 517 00:27:35,040 --> 00:27:39,280 Speaker 15: be a fight against the bureaucracy. Not just the bureaucracy 518 00:27:39,320 --> 00:27:43,000 Speaker 15: and government, but bureaucracy in general. Very similar to how 519 00:27:43,200 --> 00:27:47,840 Speaker 15: men as they get older, middle aged men develop an intractable, 520 00:27:48,560 --> 00:27:57,160 Speaker 15: seemingly irreversible beer belly middle fat. It seems as if government, churches, charities, companies, 521 00:27:57,320 --> 00:28:01,080 Speaker 15: and of course colleges develop that kind of mid level 522 00:28:01,119 --> 00:28:06,920 Speaker 15: management job justification paper shuffling desk worker industry. In fact, 523 00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:11,800 Speaker 15: bureaucrat literally means desk worker from its original French doge 524 00:28:11,920 --> 00:28:15,120 Speaker 15: exists to try to get rid of the bureaucracy. What 525 00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:20,400 Speaker 15: do you do here? Is the lethal weapon against bureaucracy? 526 00:28:21,520 --> 00:28:24,879 Speaker 15: The question of what do you do here might be 527 00:28:25,240 --> 00:28:31,720 Speaker 15: the most effective, the most effective weapon against bloat that 528 00:28:31,800 --> 00:28:34,560 Speaker 15: I have seen. Well, we have a very special guest, 529 00:28:34,680 --> 00:28:37,879 Speaker 15: someone that goes to Brown Universities who obviously he's very smart, 530 00:28:38,280 --> 00:28:41,440 Speaker 15: and he decided to do something I love. 531 00:28:41,480 --> 00:28:43,600 Speaker 16: His name is Alex Shay. I believe that's how you 532 00:28:43,600 --> 00:28:43,920 Speaker 16: say it. 533 00:28:44,400 --> 00:28:47,880 Speaker 15: He's Brown University class of twenty twenty seven, software engineer 534 00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:48,920 Speaker 15: and a journalist. 535 00:28:48,960 --> 00:28:50,440 Speaker 16: So what he decided to do. 536 00:28:50,480 --> 00:28:53,040 Speaker 15: He's a software at Brown University, which is incredibly liberal, 537 00:28:53,080 --> 00:28:58,480 Speaker 15: as you know. He decided to email three thousand and 538 00:28:58,560 --> 00:29:01,960 Speaker 15: eight hundred Brown staff members with a very simple question, 539 00:29:02,680 --> 00:29:06,360 Speaker 15: describe what tasks you performed in the past week. Shaye 540 00:29:06,400 --> 00:29:09,960 Speaker 15: said he got about twenty responses to his email, including. 541 00:29:09,520 --> 00:29:10,600 Speaker 16: One of them was f off. 542 00:29:11,280 --> 00:29:14,200 Speaker 15: Shae created a website called Bloat at Brown where he 543 00:29:14,280 --> 00:29:17,200 Speaker 15: listed off every employee at the school and used ai. 544 00:30:22,600 --> 00:30:25,440 Speaker 19: That they're gonna take away Brown schedule funding because of 545 00:30:25,560 --> 00:30:28,080 Speaker 19: DEDI and anti Semitism. But this is even before that, 546 00:30:28,200 --> 00:30:32,880 Speaker 19: because Brown get this. Brown costs ninety three thousand dollars 547 00:30:32,960 --> 00:30:35,600 Speaker 19: a year for one year of college. And I know 548 00:30:35,680 --> 00:30:38,040 Speaker 19: that you say college is always a scam. Charlie but 549 00:30:38,120 --> 00:30:41,040 Speaker 19: it's seeming more and more like that these days, because 550 00:30:41,040 --> 00:30:43,680 Speaker 19: where does all this money go? That's an excellent question. 551 00:30:44,560 --> 00:30:47,760 Speaker 19: And it's pretty much like you said, And five non 552 00:30:47,840 --> 00:30:51,120 Speaker 19: faculty staff members. These are not These are not professors 553 00:30:51,160 --> 00:30:53,400 Speaker 19: who are teaching the classes. These are people who sit 554 00:30:53,440 --> 00:30:56,040 Speaker 19: at desks and they push around papers and nobody exactly 555 00:30:56,080 --> 00:30:59,120 Speaker 19: knows what they do because they won't tell me especially, 556 00:30:59,200 --> 00:31:02,960 Speaker 19: And so I just find that all very suspect and suspicious. 557 00:31:04,520 --> 00:31:05,920 Speaker 15: No, I just I first saw I love this, and 558 00:31:05,960 --> 00:31:08,880 Speaker 15: I want to just say, as a macro point, when 559 00:31:09,120 --> 00:31:15,680 Speaker 15: high IQ driven young patriots like yourself get disagreeable against power, 560 00:31:16,280 --> 00:31:18,720 Speaker 15: I love it because they don't know how to deal 561 00:31:18,720 --> 00:31:21,680 Speaker 15: with it. So you've created this, I'm not We're on 562 00:31:21,800 --> 00:31:24,080 Speaker 15: radio right now, Alex, so we can't give the exact title. 563 00:31:24,080 --> 00:31:26,520 Speaker 15: But let's just say BS job subscores. Is that fair 564 00:31:26,520 --> 00:31:26,880 Speaker 15: to say? 565 00:31:27,320 --> 00:31:27,600 Speaker 6: Uh? 566 00:31:27,640 --> 00:31:30,480 Speaker 15: And so you have a you have yet you have 567 00:31:30,560 --> 00:31:33,720 Speaker 15: a you score jobs for BS jobs that waste money. 568 00:31:33,960 --> 00:31:37,280 Speaker 15: So basically, you are the customer at Brown for ninety 569 00:31:37,280 --> 00:31:40,080 Speaker 15: three thousand dollars a year. You're a journalist. You're trying 570 00:31:40,080 --> 00:31:41,840 Speaker 15: to figure out what the heck are we paying all 571 00:31:41,840 --> 00:31:44,680 Speaker 15: this money for? In Providence, Rhode Island. You are the client. 572 00:31:45,440 --> 00:31:49,680 Speaker 15: Brown employees more than four thousand, four hundred employees, but 573 00:31:49,920 --> 00:31:53,120 Speaker 15: fewer than one thousand are instructors of any kind. So 574 00:31:53,120 --> 00:31:55,760 Speaker 15: that means that means seventy five percent of jobs at 575 00:31:55,800 --> 00:31:59,920 Speaker 15: Brown are not instructors. What BS jobs have you found 576 00:32:00,120 --> 00:32:01,240 Speaker 15: at Brown University? 577 00:32:02,280 --> 00:32:03,680 Speaker 20: Well, that's a great question. 578 00:32:03,800 --> 00:32:06,600 Speaker 19: So at our website right now Bloats dot bro Inspectator 579 00:32:06,760 --> 00:32:09,280 Speaker 19: dot com, we have about forty nine people that are 580 00:32:09,320 --> 00:32:12,680 Speaker 19: dedicated to DEI rolls. Again, these are the people that 581 00:32:12,880 --> 00:32:15,680 Speaker 19: just cost Brown five hundred and ten million dollars from 582 00:32:15,680 --> 00:32:19,560 Speaker 19: the Trump administration because they're refusing to comply with the 583 00:32:19,640 --> 00:32:23,920 Speaker 19: directives about DEI. But just in general, it's like there 584 00:32:23,920 --> 00:32:26,880 Speaker 19: are multiple people, Charlie, that are dedicated to ad sales 585 00:32:26,920 --> 00:32:27,200 Speaker 19: for the. 586 00:32:27,120 --> 00:32:29,520 Speaker 20: Alumni magazine, for the Alumni Meg. 587 00:32:29,640 --> 00:32:32,560 Speaker 19: I didn't even know that the alumni magazine ran ads, 588 00:32:32,680 --> 00:32:34,960 Speaker 19: but apparently one person is not good enough for that. 589 00:32:35,040 --> 00:32:37,560 Speaker 19: You need to have multiple people running ad sales for 590 00:32:37,600 --> 00:32:38,440 Speaker 19: the alumni magazine. 591 00:32:38,440 --> 00:32:40,640 Speaker 20: There's about seven full time people. 592 00:32:40,520 --> 00:32:44,040 Speaker 19: That are on the alumni magazine in general, in roles 593 00:32:44,040 --> 00:32:44,520 Speaker 19: in general. 594 00:32:44,680 --> 00:32:46,840 Speaker 20: But the funny thing is that I couldn't find that many. 595 00:32:46,800 --> 00:32:49,320 Speaker 19: Articles that were written by these seven time, full time staffers, 596 00:32:49,480 --> 00:32:52,360 Speaker 19: because they make freelancers and students write the actual articles. 597 00:32:52,520 --> 00:32:55,800 Speaker 19: So it's just blow like that in the Alumni magazine, 598 00:32:56,000 --> 00:32:59,520 Speaker 19: in all of these various offices that as a student, 599 00:32:59,640 --> 00:33:01,920 Speaker 19: I wouldn't even think to think that we had such 600 00:33:01,920 --> 00:33:04,440 Speaker 19: a thing that that these offices existed. 601 00:33:04,080 --> 00:33:06,960 Speaker 20: Because they don't really interact those students. They're pretty much 602 00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:07,800 Speaker 20: just behind the scenes. 603 00:33:07,960 --> 00:33:10,360 Speaker 19: But they're raising the cost of tuition that are making 604 00:33:10,480 --> 00:33:13,520 Speaker 19: schools like Brown like again. They always say that the 605 00:33:13,560 --> 00:33:18,320 Speaker 19: Ivy League is supposed to be uh an economic ladder. 606 00:33:18,360 --> 00:33:20,080 Speaker 21: You know that that poor kids can go to the 607 00:33:20,080 --> 00:33:23,480 Speaker 21: Ivy League schools and and they'll they'll turn out successful 608 00:33:23,520 --> 00:33:25,920 Speaker 21: in life, But that that is really being put to 609 00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:28,920 Speaker 21: the test by this enormous price tag and sort of 610 00:33:29,000 --> 00:33:33,360 Speaker 21: disregard for financial planning of any sort. 611 00:33:36,400 --> 00:33:39,040 Speaker 15: Alex you have, there's two there's two components here. I 612 00:33:39,040 --> 00:33:40,320 Speaker 15: want to make sure recover. First, I want to go 613 00:33:40,360 --> 00:33:42,520 Speaker 15: through these spot categories and I think it's hilarious and 614 00:33:42,600 --> 00:33:44,360 Speaker 15: so astute. And then I want to talk about the 615 00:33:44,400 --> 00:33:47,000 Speaker 15: disciplinary action. And then I have a third point that 616 00:33:47,040 --> 00:33:48,280 Speaker 15: I do want to make. So you have that you 617 00:33:48,320 --> 00:33:51,240 Speaker 15: have these five buckets if you will, that you have 618 00:33:51,320 --> 00:33:54,400 Speaker 15: distilled of trying to organize what these people do. 619 00:33:54,600 --> 00:33:55,480 Speaker 16: I want you to go through them. 620 00:33:55,480 --> 00:34:00,600 Speaker 15: You have flunky, you have goon, duct, taper, box, ticker, 621 00:34:00,720 --> 00:34:02,080 Speaker 15: and task master. 622 00:34:02,800 --> 00:34:07,120 Speaker 19: Explain right, So, Charlie, I know that you're a conservative, 623 00:34:07,160 --> 00:34:10,360 Speaker 19: but these categories were actually dreamt up by David Graber, 624 00:34:10,400 --> 00:34:13,320 Speaker 19: who is an anthropologist, and he's hardly conservative. He's a 625 00:34:13,400 --> 00:34:15,440 Speaker 19: left anarchist. But I think this is sort of one 626 00:34:15,480 --> 00:34:18,680 Speaker 19: of the issues really that should be apolitical, that people 627 00:34:18,719 --> 00:34:21,040 Speaker 19: at both ends of the politicals backtum should see is 628 00:34:21,040 --> 00:34:22,719 Speaker 19: that there are a lot of these people with sort 629 00:34:22,719 --> 00:34:24,040 Speaker 19: of confusing. 630 00:34:23,560 --> 00:34:25,239 Speaker 20: Jobs and just to run through them. 631 00:34:25,280 --> 00:34:29,200 Speaker 19: The flunkies are people like administrative assistant, but there are 632 00:34:29,239 --> 00:34:33,000 Speaker 19: a lot of assistants for these mid level bureaucrats. Why 633 00:34:33,040 --> 00:34:36,160 Speaker 19: all of these mid level bureaucrats need assistance again, is unclear. 634 00:34:36,280 --> 00:34:38,480 Speaker 20: Are they Are they really that busy? Maybe they are, 635 00:34:38,520 --> 00:34:39,839 Speaker 20: but maybe, and. 636 00:34:39,800 --> 00:34:42,640 Speaker 19: This is what Graver says, is that the bureaucrats are 637 00:34:42,680 --> 00:34:45,000 Speaker 19: just there to make them feel more important, and that 638 00:34:45,040 --> 00:34:48,200 Speaker 19: also seems like a very plausible explanation. Again, we can't 639 00:34:48,239 --> 00:34:50,359 Speaker 19: know for sure unless we hear from them. And that's 640 00:34:50,400 --> 00:34:54,319 Speaker 19: why we sent that email. Goons are those who sort 641 00:34:54,360 --> 00:34:56,399 Speaker 19: of fight people on behalf of the university to see 642 00:34:56,480 --> 00:35:00,200 Speaker 19: people everybody in the communications office essentially. 643 00:35:00,480 --> 00:35:05,040 Speaker 15: I know type that is keep going yes and. 644 00:35:04,400 --> 00:35:09,000 Speaker 22: And and in particular, the Brown spokesperson has has been 645 00:35:09,040 --> 00:35:12,800 Speaker 22: putting a lot of misinformation out about about me in 646 00:35:13,200 --> 00:35:16,279 Speaker 22: the press because he's been saying that that this site 647 00:35:16,360 --> 00:35:17,840 Speaker 22: is using confidential information. 648 00:35:17,920 --> 00:35:20,640 Speaker 20: He's been talking that to all the reporters. And that's 649 00:35:20,680 --> 00:35:22,239 Speaker 20: not true.

Maybe they're they're writing memos, 674 00:36:32,239 --> 00:36:34,800 Speaker 20: maybe they're drafting strategic action plans. 675 00:36:35,360 --> 00:36:38,439 Speaker 19: How this benefits students, I don't know, but I'm sure 676 00:36:38,480 --> 00:36:40,360 Speaker 19: they think that they are very. 677 00:36:40,280 --> 00:36:45,279 Speaker 16: Very important, and so put it. 678 00:36:45,480 --> 00:36:47,400 Speaker 15: I think this is this is one of my favorite 679 00:36:47,480 --> 00:36:50,239 Speaker 15: like distillations. I want all of you to think about 680 00:36:50,280 --> 00:36:53,000 Speaker 15: when you send your kid to college. That so at Brown, 681 00:36:53,080 --> 00:36:57,040 Speaker 15: just to repeat, four four hundred employees at Brown, A 682 00:36:57,160 --> 00:36:59,040 Speaker 15: thousand of them are instructors of any kind. And that's 683 00:36:59,040 --> 00:37:02,120 Speaker 15: even being generous because in close teachers assistants, and a 684 00:37:02,200 --> 00:37:05,239 Speaker 15: thousand is a generous number. So there are three four 685 00:37:05,320 --> 00:37:09,200 Speaker 15: hundred people that are either flunkies, goons, duck tabers, box tickers, 686 00:37:09,280 --> 00:37:13,839 Speaker 15: or task masters for ninety three thousand dollars a year. 687 00:37:14,440 --> 00:37:18,279 Speaker 15: And look, this would be even more hilarious if it 688 00:37:18,320 --> 00:37:21,600 Speaker 15: wasn't tragic. And by the way, Alex, you are a 689 00:37:21,640 --> 00:37:24,600 Speaker 15: great example as to why they do not want the 690 00:37:24,600 --> 00:37:26,919 Speaker 15: IVY League to be based in merit, why they don't 691 00:37:26,920 --> 00:37:29,200 Speaker 15: want Asians or whites to come to the IVY League. 692 00:37:29,320 --> 00:37:32,080 Speaker 15: They just want people.

Alex Shay continues with us, Alex, if 787 00:42:10,080 --> 00:42:13,400 Speaker 15: you guys are just joining us, is dojing Brown University, 788 00:42:13,800 --> 00:42:15,759 Speaker 15: which he's exposed me a scam? So you've done this, 789 00:42:15,840 --> 00:42:18,440 Speaker 15: so let me just make sure you email all these 790 00:42:18,440 --> 00:42:21,400 Speaker 15: facults you ask these questions. How has the university responded 791 00:42:21,400 --> 00:42:23,480 Speaker 15: to you? The university that you are paying? 792 00:42:23,600 --> 00:42:27,640 Speaker 19: Alex Kay, right, So this has been reported pretty widely 793 00:42:27,719 --> 00:42:30,760 Speaker 19: at this point, and I'm backed by fire The Foundation 794 00:42:30,800 --> 00:42:33,319 Speaker 19: for Individual Rights and Expression, and they put out a 795 00:42:33,360 --> 00:42:36,600 Speaker 19: blog post that pretty much outlies the entire situation. But 796 00:42:36,680 --> 00:42:40,560 Speaker 19: according to what Fire is saying is Brown is pursuing 797 00:42:40,560 --> 00:42:44,000 Speaker 19: a preliminary review against me for four different charges. They're 798 00:42:44,040 --> 00:42:48,719 Speaker 19: saying it's emotional and psychological harm. They're saying violation of 799 00:42:48,880 --> 00:42:54,520 Speaker 19: operational rules. They're saying misrepresentation because I said I'm a 800 00:42:54,520 --> 00:42:57,359 Speaker 19: reporter for the Brown Spectator and that's not recognized by 801 00:42:57,360 --> 00:43:01,560 Speaker 19: the Student Activities office, that must mean it's misrepresented. And 802 00:43:01,880 --> 00:43:05,080 Speaker 19: the last charge is invasion of privacy again for publishing 803 00:43:05,120 --> 00:43:08,440 Speaker 19: people's names and job titles that Brown themself publishes on 804 00:43:08,480 --> 00:43:12,280 Speaker 19: the internet. And so again it's not really clear how 805 00:43:12,320 --> 00:43:15,799 Speaker 19: that's confidential. Now in Rhode Island, where Brown is is, 806 00:43:15,800 --> 00:43:18,440 Speaker 19: we have a state law even that called the Students 807 00:43:18,600 --> 00:43:22,000 Speaker 19: Journalist Freedom of Expression Act, which protects student journalism like 808 00:43:22,080 --> 00:43:24,280 Speaker 19: is in my case. And I think this is really 809 00:43:24,440 --> 00:43:28,280 Speaker 19: just an evidence of double standards that Brown has. 810 00:43:28,440 --> 00:43:29,239 Speaker 20: I don't know if your. 811 00:43:29,120 --> 00:43:32,760 Speaker 19: Audience knows this, Charlie, but Charlie Kirk is also banned 812 00:43:32,800 --> 00:43:34,360 Speaker 19: from Brown University's campus. 813 00:43:34,400 --> 00:43:36,680 Speaker 20: This was because of an incident that happened a few 814 00:43:36,800 --> 00:43:40,240 Speaker 20: years ago where Brown told him, he couldn't film. 815 00:43:40,360 --> 00:43:43,680 Speaker 19: And so Charlie Kirk came came to our campus and 816 00:43:44,120 --> 00:43:44,920 Speaker 19: he wasn't filming. 817 00:43:44,920 --> 00:43:47,319 Speaker 20: He was complying to all these rules. But some other 818 00:43:47,400 --> 00:43:50,799 Speaker 20: students were filming him and those got posted online and 819 00:43:51,160 --> 00:43:53,880 Speaker 20: that was deemed to be in violation of Brown's filming policy. 820 00:43:53,880 --> 00:43:58,480 Speaker 19: And so now Charlie is unfortunately banned from UH from 821 00:43:58,520 --> 00:44:02,000 Speaker 19: Brown's campus. But take this into accounts what Brown has 822 00:44:02,040 --> 00:44:05,759 Speaker 19: been doing with these pro Palestinian protesters in twenty twenty three, 823 00:44:06,200 --> 00:44:08,640 Speaker 19: a group of like about thirty of them or just 824 00:44:08,719 --> 00:44:12,000 Speaker 19: trespassing in an administrative building. Again, what I'm doing is speech, 825 00:44:12,040 --> 00:44:14,840 Speaker 19: what they're doing is trespassing, and they actually got arrested 826 00:44:14,920 --> 00:44:17,080 Speaker 19: and charged with that, and then Brown just decided to 827 00:44:17,160 --> 00:44:19,960 Speaker 19: drop the charges because they didn't want to inflame tensions 828 00:44:20,040 --> 00:44:22,920 Speaker 19: or something like that. Then when there was the encampment, 829 00:44:23,200 --> 00:44:25,960 Speaker 19: the people who were in an encampment, they stuck struck 830 00:44:25,960 --> 00:44:29,239 Speaker 19: a deal with the Brown administration that they wouldn't be 831 00:44:30,320 --> 00:44:32,920 Speaker 19: that they wouldn't be held in the normal disciplinary proceedings, 832 00:44:32,920 --> 00:44:35,000 Speaker 19: and that expulsion and suspension would be. 833 00:44:35,000 --> 00:44:36,359 Speaker 20: Off the table for all of them. 834 00:44:36,360 --> 00:44:38,440 Speaker 19: And again, I think this just shows that there is 835 00:44:38,520 --> 00:44:41,560 Speaker 19: a clear double standard here about how people are treated. 836 00:44:41,680 --> 00:44:45,320 Speaker 19: I mean, like myself and Charlie were it's just speech, 837 00:44:45,360 --> 00:44:48,600 Speaker 19: it's freedom of speech. But when people get into disruptive 838 00:44:48,640 --> 00:44:52,120 Speaker 19: actions and breaking actual laws, as long as they're on 839 00:44:52,160 --> 00:44:53,560 Speaker 19: the left, they're pretty much protected. 840 00:44:56,080 --> 00:44:56,319 Speaker 16: Yeah. 841 00:44:56,360 --> 00:44:58,640 Speaker 15: So just to be clear, if instead of asking the 842 00:44:58,680 --> 00:45:00,960 Speaker 15: people that you employ, let's they do all day long? 843 00:45:01,400 --> 00:45:03,840 Speaker 15: If you would host i don't know, like a Student's 844 00:45:03,840 --> 00:45:08,320 Speaker 15: for Justice of Palestine encampment in the middle of Brown's campus, 845 00:45:08,719 --> 00:45:10,120 Speaker 15: then that's perfectly fine. 846 00:45:10,120 --> 00:45:13,240 Speaker 16: They would settle with you. But going around and asking blow. 847 00:45:13,080 --> 00:45:17,600 Speaker 15: To bureaucrats that are duct taper box tickers that you employ, 848 00:45:17,920 --> 00:45:19,840 Speaker 15: what do you do all day long? You are subject 849 00:45:19,840 --> 00:45:24,280 Speaker 15: now to a disciplinary investigation Alex one minute remaining. Would 850 00:45:24,280 --> 00:45:28,120 Speaker 15: you say that Brown is a place where I don't 851 00:45:28,120 --> 00:45:30,600 Speaker 15: want to again? Scam is kind of my thing. College scam. 852 00:45:30,640 --> 00:45:33,879 Speaker 15: But how would you describe Brown now after this experience 853 00:45:34,239 --> 00:45:37,319 Speaker 15: to the country, to the nation, how would you categorize it? 854 00:45:38,360 --> 00:45:39,280 Speaker 20: I think it's elitist. 855 00:45:39,440 --> 00:45:41,000 Speaker 19: That's the way that I would sum it up is 856 00:45:41,040 --> 00:45:44,800 Speaker 19: that they're coming after people who as fou as more rightling, 857 00:45:44,920 --> 00:45:47,879 Speaker 19: like libertarians and conservatives. They don't come after the far 858 00:45:48,000 --> 00:45:51,640 Speaker 19: left the pro Palestine people who are breaking actual rules. 859 00:45:51,840 --> 00:45:54,120 Speaker 20: And also just think about the price tag. Ninety three 860 00:45:54,200 --> 00:45:55,200 Speaker 20: thousand dollars a year. 861 00:45:55,440 --> 00:45:57,160 Speaker 19: Financially, it's not going to cut it for a lot 862 00:45:57,160 --> 00:45:59,320 Speaker 19: of people, and so people just can't go to Brown. 863 00:45:59,480 --> 00:46:01,280 Speaker 20: And so this is a leaders' plain and simple. 864 00:46:01,520 --> 00:46:03,839 Speaker 19: They only want to be accessible to people that are 865 00:46:03,880 --> 00:46:06,719 Speaker 19: on the coasts that can afford this price tag and 866 00:46:06,840 --> 00:46:09,839 Speaker 19: have those trendy progressive elite for perspective. 867 00:46:10,440 --> 00:46:12,400 Speaker 20: And if you think DEI is bad. 868 00:46:12,280 --> 00:46:15,000 Speaker 19: Even if you just want to criticize the blows, that's 869 00:46:15,040 --> 00:46:17,160 Speaker 19: not acceptable at a place like Brown University. 870 00:46:19,280 --> 00:46:21,080 Speaker 16: Alex, you're a good man. You're going to succeed in 871 00:46:21,160 --> 00:46:21,680 Speaker 16: whatever you want to do. 872 00:46:21,719 --> 00:46:22,920 Speaker 15: And if you if you ever want to go work 873 00:46:22,920 --> 00:46:24,520 Speaker 15: for the real dose, I'll be happy to write you 874 00:46:24,560 --> 00:46:28,200 Speaker 15: a letter recommendation. We need super geniuses and hyper patriots 875 00:46:28,200 --> 00:46:30,480 Speaker 15: like yourself that can ask the right questions. 876 00:46:30,719 --> 00:46:31,920 Speaker 16: And I want to just repeat this. 877 00:46:32,160 --> 00:46:37,080 Speaker 15: I hope you find counterparts at Cornell, Yes, Dartmouth, Blake, 878 00:46:37,280 --> 00:46:39,640 Speaker 15: but I'm sure they're not as bad Columbia. There should 879 00:46:39,640 --> 00:46:42,799 Speaker 15: be doges of every single major Ivy League school, every 880 00:46:42,800 --> 00:46:47,359 Speaker 15: school in the country. And boy, I hope Brown metaphorically 881 00:46:47,400 --> 00:46:52,680 Speaker 15: metaphorically has to be Let's just say go through a 882 00:46:52,719 --> 00:46:56,279 Speaker 15: transformational process. I'll be kinder Alex, Thanks so much, God 883 00:46:56,280 --> 00:46:56,839 Speaker 15: bless you man. 884 00:46:57,080 --> 00:46:58,080 Speaker 16: Second hour coming up. 885 00:47:13,960 --> 00:47:16,680 Speaker 17: Welcome back to this Real America's Voice news break. I'm 886 00:47:16,800 --> 00:47:20,120 Speaker 17: Terrence Bates. One can argue the fountain of youth is 887 00:47:20,160 --> 00:47:22,960 Speaker 17: inside of you. The ability to slow aging and live 888 00:47:22,960 --> 00:47:27,160 Speaker 17: a healthier lifestyle is as basic as stimulating yourselves. My 889 00:47:27,320 --> 00:47:30,080 Speaker 17: next guest has made a life and a business out 890 00:47:30,080 --> 00:47:32,440 Speaker 17: of doing just that. John Jubilee is the founder of 891 00:47:32,560 --> 00:47:35,399 Speaker 17: Energized Health. He joins me this morning with more. John 892 00:47:35,440 --> 00:47:37,120 Speaker 17: always good to see you. 893 00:47:37,239 --> 00:47:40,000 Speaker 1: Great to see you to terrace. So let's get right 894 00:47:40,040 --> 00:47:40,439 Speaker 1: to it. 895 00:47:40,600 --> 00:47:43,840 Speaker 6: Cellular hydration. That really is the fountain of youth in 896 00:47:43,880 --> 00:47:46,279 Speaker 6: your estimation, but. 897 00:47:47,200 --> 00:47:49,479 Speaker 11: It really is, Terrence. You know, think about it. Any 898 00:47:49,719 --> 00:47:53,319 Speaker 11: farmer or any gardener knows. You know, how do you 899 00:47:53,320 --> 00:47:55,520 Speaker 11: have healthy plants, How do you have a healthy farm, 900 00:47:55,560 --> 00:47:56,880 Speaker 11: How do you have a healthy garden. 901 00:47:57,480 --> 00:47:59,000 Speaker 1: It's all about hydration, right. 902 00:47:59,040 --> 00:48:01,879 Speaker 11: If you don't want the next thing, you know, first 903 00:48:01,920 --> 00:48:03,880 Speaker 11: it shrivels and then it dies. 904 00:48:04,640 --> 00:48:06,160 Speaker 1: And it's the same with us, Terrence. 905 00:48:06,200 --> 00:48:08,640 Speaker 11: If we're not hydrated, we're going to shrivel and then 906 00:48:08,680 --> 00:48:10,000 Speaker 11: we're going to be in. 907 00:48:09,960 --> 00:48:13,640 Speaker 1: Pain, and then we're gonna die. So cellular hydration is 908 00:48:13,680 --> 00:48:14,640 Speaker 1: the fountain of youth. 909 00:48:15,640 --> 00:48:18,239 Speaker 17: And it's a way to help people transform not only 910 00:48:18,280 --> 00:48:20,080 Speaker 17: their bodies but also their minds. 911 00:48:20,640 --> 00:48:21,399 Speaker 6: And you and I have. 912 00:48:21,400 --> 00:48:24,799 Speaker 17: Talked about that quite a bit, but that's also part 913 00:48:24,800 --> 00:48:27,200 Speaker 17: of the healing process. It's not just the physical, it's 914 00:48:27,239 --> 00:48:30,400 Speaker 17: also the mental. And then you can add in the spiritual. 915 00:48:29,960 --> 00:48:32,839 Speaker 20: If you'd like, Well, it really is. 916 00:48:32,960 --> 00:48:35,440 Speaker 1: You know, we're you know, God made us. You know, 917 00:48:35,520 --> 00:48:36,640 Speaker 1: he made us a spirit. 918 00:48:37,480 --> 00:48:39,520 Speaker 11: You know, we live in a body, and then we 919 00:48:39,600 --> 00:48:41,799 Speaker 11: have our soul, which is our mind, our will, and 920 00:48:41,840 --> 00:48:44,759 Speaker 11: our emotions, and we need to be healthy in all 921 00:48:44,800 --> 00:48:47,919 Speaker 11: three of those. You know, think about terrence, the fact 922 00:48:47,960 --> 00:48:52,080 Speaker 11: that if somebody a lot of times, when someone loses 923 00:48:52,280 --> 00:48:54,960 Speaker 11: a spouse of many decades that they've been married to, 924 00:48:55,840 --> 00:48:58,279 Speaker 11: it's common for them to die within one year the 925 00:48:58,360 --> 00:49:02,880 Speaker 11: other person. And why because their mental and their spiritual 926 00:49:03,760 --> 00:49:06,200 Speaker 11: side is so sad it just. 927 00:49:06,200 --> 00:49:07,840 Speaker 1: Wants to go be with the other person. 928 00:49:07,880 --> 00:49:11,000 Speaker 11: And so there is such a connection between the mind, 929 00:49:11,200 --> 00:49:16,160 Speaker 11: the body, and the spirit. The average life expectancy of 930 00:49:16,280 --> 00:49:20,280 Speaker 11: someone who retires, so when they have their their life 931 00:49:20,320 --> 00:49:23,359 Speaker 11: is tied up in their work and they retire, they 932 00:49:23,400 --> 00:49:26,719 Speaker 11: die within seven years. Well, why because they lost their 933 00:49:26,719 --> 00:49:30,000 Speaker 11: purpose in life. It's not even because they had a 934 00:49:30,000 --> 00:49:33,960 Speaker 11: physical decline. It's because their spirit is broken from losing 935 00:49:34,000 --> 00:49:37,759 Speaker 11: its purpose and the mind is sad from and not 936 00:49:37,920 --> 00:49:40,120 Speaker 11: active anymore like it used to be on that job 937 00:49:40,200 --> 00:49:42,799 Speaker 11: every day. So we need to be healthy in our mind, 938 00:49:42,880 --> 00:49:46,080 Speaker 11: our body, and our spirit. But Terrence, I'll give you 939 00:49:46,080 --> 00:49:47,680 Speaker 11: a couple of quick numbers in the Bible. 940 00:49:47,719 --> 00:49:47,959 Speaker 1: Here. 941 00:49:48,719 --> 00:49:50,920 Speaker 11: You know, Abraham lived to be one hundred and seventy 942 00:49:50,920 --> 00:49:53,520 Speaker 11: five years old, and then he had a son named Isaac. 943 00:49:53,560 --> 00:49:55,239 Speaker 1: He lived to be one hundred and eighty years old. 944 00:49:56,239 --> 00:49:58,640 Speaker 1: And then Isaac had a son named Jacob. He lived 945 00:49:58,640 --> 00:50:00,479 Speaker 1: to be one hundred and forty seven years old. 946 00:50:01,480 --> 00:50:05,200 Speaker 11: Interesting, when I could make a case the reason that 947 00:50:05,320 --> 00:50:07,680 Speaker 11: Jacob didn't live as long he thought Joseph was dead 948 00:50:07,680 --> 00:50:12,960 Speaker 11: for fourteen years. He broke his father's heart, and so 949 00:50:13,000 --> 00:50:16,880 Speaker 11: he lived about thirty years less than his father and 950 00:50:16,920 --> 00:50:19,720 Speaker 11: his grandfather. So there is such a mind body connection 951 00:50:19,800 --> 00:50:23,480 Speaker 11: with us. We got to be a sailar level and 952 00:50:23,520 --> 00:50:25,480 Speaker 11: we have to be healthy at all three areas. 953 00:50:25,960 --> 00:50:28,839 Speaker 17: Let's talk lifestyle real quickly. You've seen people get back 954 00:50:28,880 --> 00:50:32,279 Speaker 17: to doing things like hiking and biking, dancing, golfing, all 955 00:50:32,320 --> 00:50:34,120 Speaker 17: the things that they thought they had to give up 956 00:50:34,160 --> 00:50:37,359 Speaker 17: forever as a result of a body decline. So how 957 00:50:37,360 --> 00:50:40,759 Speaker 17: does cellular hydration make that possible even after years of 958 00:50:40,880 --> 00:50:43,280 Speaker 17: joint pain or fatigue or other sorts of issues. 959 00:50:45,360 --> 00:50:47,840 Speaker 11: Well, what happens here is when we get our intersalular hydration, 960 00:50:48,000 --> 00:50:51,160 Speaker 11: we regrow our cartilage and so now our joints are 961 00:50:51,200 --> 00:50:53,400 Speaker 11: back how they were when they were seventeen years old. 962 00:50:54,239 --> 00:50:57,520 Speaker 11: So the only reason people stop hiking or dancing or 963 00:50:57,960 --> 00:50:59,920 Speaker 11: doing the things they love is because they don't have 964 00:51:00,400 --> 00:51:04,080 Speaker 11: the physical strength that they used to have. But do 965 00:51:04,120 --> 00:51:07,239 Speaker 11: you know that muscle is three parts water. It's three 966 00:51:07,239 --> 00:51:10,600 Speaker 11: parts water and it's one part protein. So it's three 967 00:51:10,640 --> 00:51:13,480 Speaker 11: times more important to have sailor hydration if you want 968 00:51:13,520 --> 00:51:15,800 Speaker 11: to have lean muscle than it is even to eat 969 00:51:15,920 --> 00:51:18,279 Speaker 11: protein or lift weights. 970 00:51:19,480 --> 00:51:21,160 Speaker 1: That's the power of sailor hydration. 971 00:51:21,239 --> 00:51:24,440 Speaker 11: And so we have clients in their eighties and nineties, Terrence, 972 00:51:24,480 --> 00:51:29,000 Speaker 11: that are gaining ten fifteen pounds of solid muscle. You know, 973 00:51:29,280 --> 00:51:33,480 Speaker 11: they're climbing seven mountains, they're running these half marathons. 974 00:51:33,960 --> 00:51:34,520 Speaker 1: You know, we had a. 975 00:51:34,560 --> 00:51:37,040 Speaker 11: Ninety two year old guy he won the national champion, 976 00:51:37,120 --> 00:51:39,960 Speaker 11: the rowing Championship for seventy and over at ninety two 977 00:51:40,040 --> 00:51:42,080 Speaker 11: years old.

Thanks for 986 00:52:02,680 --> 00:52:03,080 Speaker 17: being here. 987 00:52:20,360 --> 00:52:24,760 Speaker 23: All right, Welcome back everybody, live from Bitcoin dot Com Studios, 988 00:52:24,760 --> 00:52:28,400 Speaker 23: sort of remote version of it here. I'm Andrew Covid, 989 00:52:28,400 --> 00:52:31,480 Speaker 23: executive producer of the Charlie Kirk Show as and I'm 990 00:52:31,520 --> 00:52:35,440 Speaker 23: joined by the one and only Blake Neff, one of 991 00:52:35,440 --> 00:52:38,319 Speaker 23: our producers here on the show. Blake, this has been 992 00:52:38,520 --> 00:52:43,680 Speaker 23: an action packed morning when it comes to the economy, financials, 993 00:52:43,760 --> 00:52:47,840 Speaker 23: the tariff war, the trade war. Charlie for those wondering, 994 00:52:47,880 --> 00:52:52,719 Speaker 23: had to depart to a campus stop and so we 995 00:52:52,719 --> 00:52:54,279 Speaker 23: were lucky to kind of squeeze him in. 996 00:52:54,880 --> 00:52:56,640 Speaker 8: Blake. You and I are going to be taking it 997 00:52:56,640 --> 00:52:57,200 Speaker 8: from here. 998 00:52:57,360 --> 00:53:00,600 Speaker 23: We also have EJ and Tony joining us at one 999 00:53:00,760 --> 00:53:05,160 Speaker 23: thirty Eastern economists from the Heritage Foundation, so that we 1000 00:53:05,200 --> 00:53:07,840 Speaker 23: have to look forward to as well. But Blake, let's 1001 00:53:07,880 --> 00:53:10,960 Speaker 23: just bring our audience up to speed. What's happened in 1002 00:53:11,040 --> 00:53:16,120 Speaker 23: the last few hours here. We have seen the largest 1003 00:53:16,200 --> 00:53:19,480 Speaker 23: just by point, maybe not by percentage, but by points, 1004 00:53:19,520 --> 00:53:22,440 Speaker 23: a twenty six hundred points swing on the Doubt was 1005 00:53:22,480 --> 00:53:25,920 Speaker 23: down like you know, let's say, fifteen hundred points. It 1006 00:53:26,160 --> 00:53:28,800 Speaker 23: swung up to as high as about eight point fifty 1007 00:53:28,880 --> 00:53:34,960 Speaker 23: eight sixty based on some rumors that President Trump was 1008 00:53:35,080 --> 00:53:39,560 Speaker 23: considering a ninety day pause in his tariff regime. That 1009 00:53:39,680 --> 00:53:43,840 Speaker 23: turned out to be fake news, fake news. But in 1010 00:53:43,880 --> 00:53:47,120 Speaker 23: the meantime, we've seen the market fluctuate. Currently it's down 1011 00:53:47,160 --> 00:53:50,319 Speaker 23: about nine forty the Dow. But here's what I would 1012 00:53:50,320 --> 00:53:53,040 Speaker 23: say to everybody out there watching wonder what the heck 1013 00:53:53,120 --> 00:53:53,719 Speaker 23: is going on. 1014 00:53:54,600 --> 00:53:59,200 Speaker 8: Don't pay too close attention to the market currently. 1015 00:53:59,320 --> 00:54:02,120 Speaker 23: There is a lot of moving pieces. There is a 1016 00:54:02,160 --> 00:54:05,800 Speaker 23: lot that is changing in and influx any given moment. 1017 00:54:06,360 --> 00:54:08,960 Speaker 8: So everybody just take a breath, breathe. 1018 00:54:09,920 --> 00:54:13,960 Speaker 23: Let's just assume that the market has factored a lot 1019 00:54:14,040 --> 00:54:16,840 Speaker 23: of this stuff in. There will continue to be market 1020 00:54:16,880 --> 00:54:23,319 Speaker 23: shifts and fluctuations. Nevertheless, we don't know where all this is. 1021 00:54:23,280 --> 00:54:23,640 Speaker 8: Going to go. 1022 00:54:23,800 --> 00:54:26,040 Speaker 23: We don't know where it's going to land. But the 1023 00:54:26,080 --> 00:54:29,640 Speaker 23: sky is not falling, I assure you, despite a lot 1024 00:54:29,680 --> 00:54:37,600 Speaker 23: of prognosticators and economists ataalizing on the internet, afaalizing on 1025 00:54:38,320 --> 00:54:39,799 Speaker 23: business shows and the like. 1026 00:54:39,880 --> 00:54:41,759 Speaker 8: So, Blake, I want to get your take on this. 1027 00:54:41,960 --> 00:54:44,880 Speaker 23: I know that you are, let's just say, in the 1028 00:54:44,960 --> 00:54:48,239 Speaker 23: spectrum of pro tariff or anti tariff, you're sort of, 1029 00:54:48,760 --> 00:54:52,160 Speaker 23: I would say, somewhere in the middle. So I'm curious 1030 00:54:52,160 --> 00:54:55,160 Speaker 23: about your take of what you've seen this morning. We 1031 00:54:55,320 --> 00:54:59,400 Speaker 23: were on chats Sunday night basically predicting, I would say, 1032 00:55:00,040 --> 00:55:05,839 Speaker 23: a much bigger market collapse than what we've ultimately seen. Now, 1033 00:55:05,840 --> 00:55:08,160 Speaker 23: the day's not done yet, it's about we're down eight 1034 00:55:08,320 --> 00:55:10,160 Speaker 23: forty as I'm looking at it right now. 1035 00:55:10,200 --> 00:55:12,640 Speaker 8: What is your take on the news that's unfolded so far. 1036 00:55:13,480 --> 00:55:15,319 Speaker 16: Well, it's been back and forth all day. 1037 00:55:16,040 --> 00:55:18,759 Speaker 24: The line I saw was when there was basically a 1038 00:55:18,800 --> 00:55:22,960 Speaker 24: false report that a ninety day pause was likely or imminent, 1039 00:55:23,320 --> 00:55:27,759 Speaker 24: the overall stock markets rose about true trillion dollars in 1040 00:55:27,840 --> 00:55:31,920 Speaker 24: value and three yeah, three trillion maybe, And you know, 1041 00:55:32,040 --> 00:55:35,000 Speaker 24: it's gone up and down, up and down all the day. 1042 00:55:35,040 --> 00:55:37,759 Speaker 24: And I think probably the reason it's more moderate is 1043 00:55:37,920 --> 00:55:41,319 Speaker 24: I think there's a greater sense that some sort of 1044 00:55:41,360 --> 00:55:44,080 Speaker 24: deals are likely to be made. We have the European 1045 00:55:44,200 --> 00:55:47,400 Speaker 24: Union offering to junk a bunch of tariffs. We have 1046 00:55:47,680 --> 00:55:51,040 Speaker 24: Vietnam offering to eliminate all tariffs if they can make 1047 00:55:51,040 --> 00:55:53,640 Speaker 24: a deal. And we have Trump saying we're basically open 1048 00:55:53,719 --> 00:55:56,600 Speaker 24: to negotiating with every country that isn't China. And if 1049 00:55:56,640 --> 00:56:00,400 Speaker 24: you take the US trade deficit, you know, most trade 1050 00:56:00,520 --> 00:56:02,360 Speaker 24: the US does is not with China. So if you 1051 00:56:03,320 --> 00:56:06,160 Speaker 24: reduce the range of trade war from every single country 1052 00:56:06,200 --> 00:56:08,920 Speaker 24: in the world to just China, that's undoing a lot 1053 00:56:09,000 --> 00:56:13,400 Speaker 24: of what we've announced in the past week. As you said, 1054 00:56:13,520 --> 00:56:15,200 Speaker 24: I'm you know, more in the middle on this. I 1055 00:56:15,239 --> 00:56:17,319 Speaker 24: would say, what I feel, and what a lot of 1056 00:56:17,320 --> 00:56:22,440 Speaker 24: people feel concerned about, is the sense that this was 1057 00:56:22,560 --> 00:56:24,600 Speaker 24: like just taking a giant like it was like they 1058 00:56:24,680 --> 00:56:28,440 Speaker 24: wanted to pit push one single button to achieve everything 1059 00:56:28,440 --> 00:56:31,319 Speaker 24: they wanted to do. You know, there's been reporting that 1060 00:56:31,920 --> 00:56:34,319 Speaker 24: one of the offices in the Trump White House they 1061 00:56:34,320 --> 00:56:36,680 Speaker 24: actually did go and they figured out what would a 1062 00:56:36,719 --> 00:56:40,160 Speaker 24: reciprocal tariff be on every tariff on US goods, So 1063 00:56:40,200 --> 00:56:42,960 Speaker 24: they you know, they look at what actual tariffs are 1064 00:56:43,000 --> 00:56:45,920 Speaker 24: they imposing in France, what are they imposing in Vietnam, 1065 00:56:45,960 --> 00:56:49,600 Speaker 24: what are they imposing in Great Britain, and so on, 1066 00:56:49,760 --> 00:56:52,320 Speaker 24: and then they were going to match those point for point, 1067 00:56:52,880 --> 00:56:56,480 Speaker 24: and then apparently the White House just thought that's now, 1068 00:56:56,600 --> 00:56:58,960 Speaker 24: let's just go for the easiest one, and so they 1069 00:56:58,960 --> 00:57:03,000 Speaker 24: did this trade deficit based calculation. And what's missing from 1070 00:57:03,000 --> 00:57:05,200 Speaker 24: that is what do we say our goal here is 1071 00:57:05,280 --> 00:57:10,320 Speaker 24: our goal is to bring more manufacturing back to America. 1072 00:57:10,480 --> 00:57:13,640 Speaker 24: But when it's just like this, it's not finely tuned 1073 00:57:13,640 --> 00:57:17,919 Speaker 24: to that purpose. So for example, you're not you're doing 1074 00:57:17,920 --> 00:57:20,600 Speaker 24: a flat tariff on everything. You're not doing, for example, 1075 00:57:20,720 --> 00:57:24,480 Speaker 24: a tariff on finished goods, but then no tariff on 1076 00:57:24,600 --> 00:57:27,880 Speaker 24: raw materials that would encourage people to bring raw materials 1077 00:57:27,920 --> 00:57:31,360 Speaker 24: into the US and then make stuff here. Instead, it's 1078 00:57:31,360 --> 00:57:36,720 Speaker 24: just basically a hike on everything, very abruptly, and I 1079 00:57:36,760 --> 00:57:38,440 Speaker 24: think a lot of people are very worried about what 1080 00:57:38,480 --> 00:57:39,720 Speaker 24: the impact of that will be. 1081 00:57:41,000 --> 00:57:41,200 Speaker 6: Yeah. 1082 00:57:41,280 --> 00:57:43,720 Speaker 23: No, And I think that is one of the critiques 1083 00:57:43,760 --> 00:57:46,400 Speaker 23: that I've heard floated that it's a you know, a 1084 00:57:46,440 --> 00:57:49,080 Speaker 23: sledgehammer when a scalpel was needed, and that sort of thing. 1085 00:57:49,120 --> 00:57:53,240 Speaker 23: And I will say that listen, you know, President Trump, 1086 00:57:54,600 --> 00:57:57,120 Speaker 23: he did not hide that this was going to happen. 1087 00:57:57,160 --> 00:57:59,120 Speaker 8: Now, we didn't understand the details or how. 1088 00:57:59,000 --> 00:58:02,840 Speaker 23: It was going to be, you know, sort of put 1089 00:58:02,880 --> 00:58:04,640 Speaker 23: into place, put into practice. 1090 00:58:04,840 --> 00:58:06,480 Speaker 8: Nevertheless, this is not a mystery. 1091 00:58:06,520 --> 00:58:09,160 Speaker 23: President Trump has been very very clear about this, and I, 1092 00:58:09,280 --> 00:58:11,920 Speaker 23: you know, I happen to and I mean, Blake, you 1093 00:58:11,960 --> 00:58:14,120 Speaker 23: and I have talked about this privately. I am a 1094 00:58:14,160 --> 00:58:17,840 Speaker 23: true believer in this, in this strategy. I hear every 1095 00:58:17,920 --> 00:58:21,320 Speaker 23: one of the pushbacks, and I absolutely, you. 1096 00:58:21,240 --> 00:58:21,920 Speaker 8: Know, disagree. 1097 00:58:21,960 --> 00:58:23,840 Speaker 23: I will say, you know, they could have done it 1098 00:58:23,880 --> 00:58:26,080 Speaker 23: without so much pomp and circumstance. They could have just 1099 00:58:26,120 --> 00:58:29,800 Speaker 23: done it quietly and done it country by country. I 1100 00:58:29,800 --> 00:58:33,200 Speaker 23: would have been fine with that. But directionally, here's what 1101 00:58:33,480 --> 00:58:37,040 Speaker 23: I mean. I completely agree that there needed to be 1102 00:58:37,600 --> 00:58:40,920 Speaker 23: as Jack Posovic calls, a reset of the great reset. 1103 00:58:41,040 --> 00:58:43,400 Speaker 23: We needed a reset of the way that we do 1104 00:58:43,480 --> 00:58:46,720 Speaker 23: business with our trading partners. And I do believe that 1105 00:58:47,240 --> 00:58:51,280 Speaker 23: President Trump's art of the deal brinkmanship can be unnerving 1106 00:58:51,480 --> 00:58:52,160 Speaker 23: for the market. 1107 00:58:52,240 --> 00:58:54,800 Speaker 8: It can be unnerving for many people that are just 1108 00:58:54,920 --> 00:58:59,600 Speaker 8: watching it. Take place. But the base that voted for 1109 00:58:59,680 --> 00:59:02,120 Speaker 8: Trump wanted change, and. 1110 00:59:02,120 --> 00:59:05,120 Speaker 23: There is there are clips after clips after clips of 1111 00:59:05,560 --> 00:59:10,680 Speaker 23: you know, farmers, beef ranchers that are saying yes, thank 1112 00:59:10,720 --> 00:59:13,160 Speaker 23: you because all of these other countries have been able 1113 00:59:13,160 --> 00:59:16,720 Speaker 23: to sell into America for years, and you know, we 1114 00:59:16,800 --> 00:59:21,280 Speaker 23: haven't been able to do the same to those countries Australia, Argentina, whatever. 1115 00:59:21,840 --> 00:59:26,280 Speaker 23: This is recalibrating different parts of the economy and that's 1116 00:59:26,320 --> 00:59:26,760 Speaker 23: going to. 1117 00:59:26,800 --> 00:59:28,600 Speaker 8: Be rough and bumpy for a little while. 1118 00:59:28,960 --> 00:59:31,680 Speaker 23: But I think what is very clear after this morning 1119 00:59:31,760 --> 00:59:35,360 Speaker 23: is that President Trump is dead serious Peter Navarro's Dead 1120 00:59:35,400 --> 00:59:39,160 Speaker 23: series Howard Letnik is dead serious about resetting and recalibrating 1121 00:59:39,520 --> 00:59:41,200 Speaker 23: a lot of these trade negotiations. 1122 00:59:41,200 --> 00:59:42,680 Speaker 8: Now, one of the. 1123 00:59:42,720 --> 00:59:46,120 Speaker 23: Pieces of news that came across the wire this morning 1124 00:59:46,520 --> 00:59:49,560 Speaker 23: was out of the EU. Okay, so I'm gonna go 1125 00:59:49,560 --> 00:59:51,720 Speaker 23: go ahead and play this clip. This is what I 1126 00:59:51,760 --> 00:59:53,920 Speaker 23: think is a good sign, and I'll explain on the 1127 00:59:53,920 --> 00:59:54,480 Speaker 23: other side of it. 1128 00:59:54,480 --> 00:59:55,280 Speaker 8: One thirty six. 1129 00:59:56,440 --> 00:59:59,800 Speaker 25: We stand ready to negotiate with the United States. Indeed, 1130 00:59:59,840 --> 01:00:03,640 Speaker 25: we have offered zero for zero terriffs for industrial goods, 1131 01:00:03,720 --> 01:00:07,240 Speaker 25: as we have successfully done with many other trading partners. 1132 01:00:07,520 --> 01:00:10,680 Speaker 25: Because Europe is always ready for a good deal, so 1133 01:00:10,960 --> 01:00:13,480 Speaker 25: we keep it on the table, but we are also 1134 01:00:13,560 --> 01:00:18,120 Speaker 25: prepared to respond through countermeasures and defend our interests. 1135 01:00:19,800 --> 01:00:22,880 Speaker 8: So this was European commissioned President Ursula. 1136 01:00:23,200 --> 01:00:26,919 Speaker 23: That's quite the name Von der Leyan And she says 1137 01:00:26,960 --> 01:00:30,560 Speaker 23: the EU stands ready for a zero for zero terroriff deal. Now, 1138 01:00:30,960 --> 01:00:33,200 Speaker 23: you know, she makes it sound like this is something 1139 01:00:33,240 --> 01:00:35,800 Speaker 23: they do all the time. Everything's fine. I don't know 1140 01:00:35,800 --> 01:00:38,040 Speaker 23: why we couldn't have just, you know, gotten together and 1141 01:00:38,120 --> 01:00:38,919 Speaker 23: hammered this out. 1142 01:00:39,200 --> 01:00:40,240 Speaker 8: Well, here's the problem. 1143 01:00:40,400 --> 01:00:43,880 Speaker 23: They couldn't hammer this out because the EU are really 1144 01:00:43,880 --> 01:00:48,160 Speaker 23: good negotiators. The United States has been locked in by 1145 01:00:48,160 --> 01:00:52,280 Speaker 23: a free trading I would say cult that sold a 1146 01:00:52,280 --> 01:00:53,760 Speaker 23: lot of our workers down the river. 1147 01:00:54,160 --> 01:00:55,360 Speaker 8: Meanwhile, EU has been. 1148 01:00:55,360 --> 01:00:58,920 Speaker 23: Very strategic about protecting its industry. And so why is 1149 01:00:58,960 --> 01:01:01,240 Speaker 23: she willing to say this now? Now she's willing to 1150 01:01:01,240 --> 01:01:04,240 Speaker 23: say it because President Trump is playing hardball and the 1151 01:01:04,280 --> 01:01:06,880 Speaker 23: world is quickly catching up to the fact that we're 1152 01:01:07,200 --> 01:01:11,200 Speaker 23: not messing around.

You have to expand that 1159 01:01:30,320 --> 01:01:33,360 Speaker 23: over years, folks, And you have to also assume the 1160 01:01:33,480 --> 01:01:37,040 Speaker 23: human price that has been paid as a result over 1161 01:01:37,200 --> 01:01:41,120 Speaker 23: years of these trade tariffs and these trade barriers that 1162 01:01:41,160 --> 01:01:42,120 Speaker 23: these countries put up. 1163 01:01:42,240 --> 01:01:44,640 Speaker 8: So guess what, as soon as we. 1164 01:01:44,600 --> 01:01:46,560 Speaker 23: Get resolution on this, you're going to see that market 1165 01:01:46,600 --> 01:01:49,720 Speaker 23: cap shoot right back up more for the Charlie Kirk 1166 01:01:49,800 --> 01:01:50,920 Speaker 23: Show will be right. 1167 01:01:50,760 --> 01:02:03,760 Speaker 14: Back at our researchers than the CDC.

He's been a guy a 1220 01:05:04,400 --> 01:05:07,360 Speaker 24: very loud voice on Twitter and then X over the 1221 01:05:07,440 --> 01:05:10,440 Speaker 24: past few years. He very notably was one of the 1222 01:05:11,240 --> 01:05:15,200 Speaker 24: sort of He's generally mostly a Democrat donor historically, and 1223 01:05:15,240 --> 01:05:17,880 Speaker 24: he is one of the most prominent voices who shifted 1224 01:05:18,200 --> 01:05:22,640 Speaker 24: towards being a pretty vocal Trump supporter. In twenty twenty four, 1225 01:05:22,920 --> 01:05:27,440 Speaker 24: he denounced DEI. He was very involved in attacking universities 1226 01:05:27,520 --> 01:05:30,840 Speaker 24: like Harvard after the ten to seven attacks. So he's 1227 01:05:30,840 --> 01:05:34,000 Speaker 24: a guy who generally in the middle has moved towards 1228 01:05:34,000 --> 01:05:36,360 Speaker 24: supporting the right, probably a good barometer of like the 1229 01:05:36,520 --> 01:05:37,760 Speaker 24: centrist Wall. 1230 01:05:37,560 --> 01:05:38,920 Speaker 8: Street money person. 1231 01:05:39,520 --> 01:05:45,160 Speaker 24: And he has been pretty upset about the tariff announcement, 1232 01:05:45,200 --> 01:05:47,800 Speaker 24: and he's been on a tear the last couple of days. 1233 01:05:48,160 --> 01:05:50,520 Speaker 24: On x He had a very long post last night 1234 01:05:50,560 --> 01:05:53,080 Speaker 24: that's already over twelve million views. I can't read the 1235 01:05:53,080 --> 01:05:56,000 Speaker 24: whole thing, wanted to get to a few excerpts from it. 1236 01:05:56,680 --> 01:05:59,280 Speaker 24: He says that you know, the country is one hundred 1237 01:05:59,320 --> 01:06:03,080 Speaker 24: percent behind President Trump on fixing a global system of 1238 01:06:03,200 --> 01:06:07,560 Speaker 24: tariffs that has disadvantaged the country. But he says business 1239 01:06:07,640 --> 01:06:12,440 Speaker 24: is a confidence game, and confidence depends on trust. He 1240 01:06:12,480 --> 01:06:16,640 Speaker 24: continues later by placing massive and disproportionate tariffs on our 1241 01:06:16,680 --> 01:06:20,240 Speaker 24: friends and our enemies alike, and thereby launching a global 1242 01:06:20,280 --> 01:06:23,400 Speaker 24: economic war against the whole world at once. We are 1243 01:06:23,480 --> 01:06:27,320 Speaker 24: in the process of destroying confidence in our country as 1244 01:06:27,360 --> 01:06:29,680 Speaker 24: a trading partner, as a place to do business, and 1245 01:06:29,720 --> 01:06:33,640 Speaker 24: as a market to invest capital. He continues further down, 1246 01:06:34,080 --> 01:06:37,480 Speaker 24: what CEO and what board of directors will be comfortable 1247 01:06:37,520 --> 01:06:42,160 Speaker 24: making large, long term economic commitments in the United States 1248 01:06:42,480 --> 01:06:45,320 Speaker 24: in the middle of an economic nuclear war. That's the 1249 01:06:45,440 --> 01:06:48,560 Speaker 24: term he uses. He says, it's not just big companies 1250 01:06:48,560 --> 01:06:52,360 Speaker 24: that will suffer. Small and medium sized businesses will experience 1251 01:06:52,680 --> 01:06:56,880 Speaker 24: much greater pain because almost no business can pass through 1252 01:06:56,880 --> 01:07:00,360 Speaker 24: an overnight massive increase in the cost of business, and 1253 01:07:00,400 --> 01:07:04,120 Speaker 24: they can't pass that on to their customers. So he's 1254 01:07:04,360 --> 01:07:07,360 Speaker 24: long story short, He's saying the president has an opportunity 1255 01:07:07,360 --> 01:07:09,800 Speaker 24: on Monday. He was saying this yesterday to call a 1256 01:07:09,880 --> 01:07:14,280 Speaker 24: timeout and have time to execute unfixing an unfair tariff system. 1257 01:07:14,640 --> 01:07:17,680 Speaker 24: And he got pretty angry because just a short time 1258 01:07:17,720 --> 01:07:20,440 Speaker 24: after he posted this, he then followed up and he said, 1259 01:07:20,800 --> 01:07:23,160 Speaker 24: I just figured out why Howard Lutnik in the Trump 1260 01:07:23,200 --> 01:07:26,400 Speaker 24: administration is indifferent to the stock market crashing. 1261 01:07:26,880 --> 01:07:29,320 Speaker 16: He and Canter Fitzgerald, the company that he was. 1262 01:07:29,280 --> 01:07:34,000 Speaker 24: From, are long bonds. He profits when our economy implodes 1263 01:07:34,280 --> 01:07:36,800 Speaker 24: it's a bad idea to pick a Secretary of Commerce 1264 01:07:36,960 --> 01:07:40,400 Speaker 24: whose firm is levered on long fixed income. It is 1265 01:07:40,440 --> 01:07:45,200 Speaker 24: an irreconcilable conflict of interest. And then this morning he 1266 01:07:45,240 --> 01:07:47,800 Speaker 24: walked back from that, he said it was unfair of 1267 01:07:47,840 --> 01:07:50,840 Speaker 24: me to lash out at Howard Lutnik. I don't think 1268 01:07:50,840 --> 01:07:53,160 Speaker 24: he is pursuing his self interest. I'm sure he is 1269 01:07:53,200 --> 01:07:55,800 Speaker 24: doing the best he can. It is not an easy job. 1270 01:07:56,040 --> 01:07:59,880 Speaker 24: But I am just I Bill Lackman am frustrated watching 1271 01:08:00,160 --> 01:08:03,320 Speaker 24: I believe to be a major policy error occur after 1272 01:08:03,360 --> 01:08:06,680 Speaker 24: our country and our president have been making huge economic 1273 01:08:06,720 --> 01:08:09,480 Speaker 24: progress and that is now at risk due to tariffs. 1274 01:08:09,520 --> 01:08:10,480 Speaker 6: So this is just. 1275 01:08:10,480 --> 01:08:14,200 Speaker 24: One guy, but he is speaking for a lot of people. 1276 01:08:14,200 --> 01:08:16,759 Speaker 24: I think there's a lot of people who are very 1277 01:08:16,800 --> 01:08:20,439 Speaker 24: anxious about what the tariff policy is. They're warning that 1278 01:08:20,640 --> 01:08:23,920 Speaker 24: this will have dramatic consequences if it's not paused or 1279 01:08:24,000 --> 01:08:26,519 Speaker 24: mitigated in some way, and we can see their angst 1280 01:08:26,520 --> 01:08:27,960 Speaker 24: playing out in the markets every day. 1281 01:08:28,720 --> 01:08:31,160 Speaker 23: Well, and I will agree with Actman. I think he's 1282 01:08:31,160 --> 01:08:35,519 Speaker 23: a very smart guy. I don't necessarily think he's a 1283 01:08:35,600 --> 01:08:40,320 Speaker 23: true believer in sort of reforming reshaping the American economy, 1284 01:08:40,600 --> 01:08:43,400 Speaker 23: especially with our trade deficits, I think he likes it. 1285 01:08:43,880 --> 01:08:45,920 Speaker 8: I don't know that he's got the. 1286 01:08:47,800 --> 01:08:52,599 Speaker 23: Guts or the true belief and the conviction to stay 1287 01:08:52,600 --> 01:08:53,200 Speaker 23: the course. 1288 01:08:53,000 --> 01:08:55,280 Speaker 8: When it gets rocky. And I'm a little bit different 1289 01:08:55,280 --> 01:08:55,760 Speaker 8: in that way. 1290 01:08:56,320 --> 01:08:58,400 Speaker 23: I think, you know where I will agree with him 1291 01:08:58,439 --> 01:09:03,120 Speaker 23: is that business is markets need predictability, and so the 1292 01:09:03,200 --> 01:09:05,599 Speaker 23: sooner that we can get to a predictable. 1293 01:09:05,040 --> 01:09:07,679 Speaker 8: Baseline, the better it will be long term. 1294 01:09:07,720 --> 01:09:10,920 Speaker 23: And so whether that baseline is the ten percent tariff 1295 01:09:10,960 --> 01:09:14,040 Speaker 23: across the board, so be it, or if we're going 1296 01:09:14,120 --> 01:09:17,559 Speaker 23: to have right now Trump, you know, basically what happened 1297 01:09:17,600 --> 01:09:19,439 Speaker 23: with China to bring the audience up to speak with 1298 01:09:19,479 --> 01:09:21,560 Speaker 23: that is we essentially had fifty. 1299 01:09:21,320 --> 01:09:23,760 Speaker 8: Four percent tariffs on China. They reciprocal. 1300 01:09:23,840 --> 01:09:28,280 Speaker 23: They came back with reciprocal tariffs or you know, retaliatory 1301 01:09:28,320 --> 01:09:29,799 Speaker 23: tariffs of thirty four percent. 1302 01:09:30,800 --> 01:09:33,000 Speaker 8: Trump now went true social. 1303 01:09:32,760 --> 01:09:34,519 Speaker 23: And said, listen, we're going to hit you with an 1304 01:09:34,560 --> 01:09:38,400 Speaker 23: additional tariff of fifty percent, which would essentially put the 1305 01:09:38,520 --> 01:09:41,640 Speaker 23: tariff over one hundred percent on Chinese imported goods. I 1306 01:09:41,680 --> 01:09:44,960 Speaker 23: think China is his number one nemesis here that he 1307 01:09:45,040 --> 01:09:48,080 Speaker 23: wants to take off the chessboard, and he's playing some 1308 01:09:48,280 --> 01:09:51,479 Speaker 23: high risk poker. There's no doubt about it, basically saying 1309 01:09:51,560 --> 01:09:57,000 Speaker 23: China cannot survive if without being able to trade all 1310 01:09:57,040 --> 01:09:59,000 Speaker 23: these goods into the United States. Now, there's going to 1311 01:09:59,000 --> 01:10:03,799 Speaker 23: be other problems for us that comes along with China 1312 01:10:04,200 --> 01:10:05,679 Speaker 23: having supply chain issues into. 1313 01:10:05,560 --> 01:10:08,320 Speaker 8: The United States. But that is the number one though 1314 01:10:08,479 --> 01:10:09,400 Speaker 8: that Trump is after. 1315 01:10:09,439 --> 01:10:14,200 Speaker 23: It's very very clear. So I happen to think that listen, 1316 01:10:14,240 --> 01:10:15,240 Speaker 23: this guy's not falling. 1317 01:10:15,280 --> 01:10:17,760 Speaker 8: It's gonna get bumpy, but we got to stay the 1318 01:10:17,760 --> 01:10:20,800 Speaker 8: course right now, We'll be right back. Cantoni joins us. 1319 01:10:20,840 --> 01:10:30,920 Speaker 17: Next, Terrence Bates here with your Real America's Voice News Break. 1320 01:10:30,960 --> 01:10:33,559 Speaker 6: Thanks so much for joining us today. 1321 01:10:34,200 --> 01:10:37,000 Speaker 17: We begin with a view of the White House. President 1322 01:10:37,080 --> 01:10:40,759 Speaker 17: Trump hosting his latest high profile visitor is rarely Prime 1323 01:10:40,840 --> 01:10:44,000 Speaker 17: Minister Benjamin Netanyao, who arriving in the White House about 1324 01:10:44,040 --> 01:10:46,000 Speaker 17: five minutes ago. You can see him pulling up in 1325 01:10:46,000 --> 01:10:49,000 Speaker 17: the car here only to be met by President Trump. 1326 01:10:49,040 --> 01:10:52,240 Speaker 17: The two exchanged a couple of quick nighte andry pleasantries 1327 01:10:52,280 --> 01:10:55,080 Speaker 17: excuse me, before ultimately walking in the door. There at 1328 01:10:55,120 --> 01:10:57,600 Speaker 17: the White House, we of course are waiting for the 1329 01:10:57,680 --> 01:11:00,320 Speaker 17: two to host the news conference in the city down 1330 01:11:00,360 --> 01:11:03,200 Speaker 17: here in short order, the moment that happens will take 1331 01:11:03,240 --> 01:11:05,439 Speaker 17: you there live.

We expect that they'll 1335 01:11:12,960 --> 01:11:16,360 Speaker 17: talk about Iran, obviously, the situation in Gaza and the 1336 01:11:16,439 --> 01:11:19,839 Speaker 17: latest tariffs that the Trump administration is put on Israel, 1337 01:11:19,880 --> 01:11:21,880 Speaker 17: as well as the rest of the country. Again, a 1338 01:11:21,920 --> 01:11:24,200 Speaker 17: live report from the White House coming up here in 1339 01:11:24,240 --> 01:11:27,120 Speaker 17: short order will take you there. In the meantime, dozens 1340 01:11:27,160 --> 01:11:29,840 Speaker 17: of countries are reportedly ready to negotiate in the face 1341 01:11:29,880 --> 01:11:34,000 Speaker 17: of President Trump's tariffs. Taiwan's president is offering zero tariffs 1342 01:11:34,120 --> 01:11:37,240 Speaker 17: in return for the US dropping its trade barriers, and 1343 01:11:37,280 --> 01:11:40,120 Speaker 17: as I just said, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin at Yahoo 1344 01:11:40,160 --> 01:11:42,600 Speaker 17: already at the White House right now looking for a 1345 01:11:42,640 --> 01:11:46,479 Speaker 17: reprieve from the seventeen percent tariffs against his country. When 1346 01:11:46,479 --> 01:11:49,360 Speaker 17: it comes to China and the European Union, the President 1347 01:11:49,400 --> 01:11:52,599 Speaker 17: says his tariffs are all about leveling the playing field 1348 01:11:52,800 --> 01:11:54,719 Speaker 17: after being ripped off for years. 1349 01:11:55,400 --> 01:12:00,200 Speaker 18: We have massive surplus countries that we're dealing with. We 1350 01:12:00,240 --> 01:12:04,040 Speaker 18: have massive deficities We've got to straighten that out because 1351 01:12:04,040 --> 01:12:06,000 Speaker 18: you can't continue to be that Whi's been that way 1352 01:12:06,040 --> 01:12:09,040 Speaker 18: for years now and it can't go on any longer. 1353 01:12:09,760 --> 01:12:12,440 Speaker 18: And with the Biggie Bank, we have all the advantages. 1354 01:12:13,120 --> 01:12:15,040 Speaker 18: If we get martage for a second, we have all 1355 01:12:15,080 --> 01:12:17,080 Speaker 18: the advantages we'll getting straight out. We're going to become 1356 01:12:17,080 --> 01:12:20,839 Speaker 18: a wealthy nation again, wealthy like never before. 1357 01:12:22,479 --> 01:12:26,040 Speaker 17: US customs officials are reportedly collecting the across the board 1358 01:12:26,080 --> 01:12:30,439 Speaker 17: ten percent tariffs already. The higher reciprocal tariffs of between 1359 01:12:30,479 --> 01:12:33,840 Speaker 17: eleven and fifty percent on individual countries are set to 1360 01:12:33,880 --> 01:12:38,360 Speaker 17: take effect Wednesday, a weekend of storms. The massive flooding 1361 01:12:38,360 --> 01:12:41,200 Speaker 17: have at least eighteen people dead in communities from Texas 1362 01:12:41,200 --> 01:12:43,880 Speaker 17: to Ohio, drying out and preparing for a week of 1363 01:12:43,960 --> 01:12:47,439 Speaker 17: insurance claims.

Sum up for us what you are 1374 01:13:32,720 --> 01:13:36,200 Speaker 23: seeing the market looks like Dow is down four to eighty. 1375 01:13:36,280 --> 01:13:38,880 Speaker 8: I mean it was down much lower than that. 1376 01:13:39,080 --> 01:13:41,280 Speaker 23: Then it was shot up to about plus eight forty 1377 01:13:41,280 --> 01:13:43,640 Speaker 23: on some fake news of a ninety day pause in 1378 01:13:43,720 --> 01:13:47,080 Speaker 23: the tear excuse me, in the tariff war. Now we're 1379 01:13:47,160 --> 01:13:50,519 Speaker 23: back down at for four fifty something like that. We're 1380 01:13:50,600 --> 01:13:53,160 Speaker 23: hearing news is about fifty plus countries that are. 1381 01:13:53,160 --> 01:13:54,439 Speaker 8: At the negotiating table. 1382 01:13:54,479 --> 01:13:56,880 Speaker 23: We've got bb net and Yahoo has just arrived at 1383 01:13:56,880 --> 01:14:00,080 Speaker 23: the White House. Lots happening, make it make sense for us. 1384 01:14:01,520 --> 01:14:02,840 Speaker 26: Well, Andrew, thanks for having me. 1385 01:14:02,880 --> 01:14:03,040 Speaker 1: You know. 1386 01:14:03,160 --> 01:14:05,519 Speaker 27: Unfortunately, a lot that we have to go on right 1387 01:14:05,560 --> 01:14:08,080 Speaker 27: now is really just rumor, and that's why there's so 1388 01:14:08,200 --> 01:14:10,080 Speaker 27: much volatility in the marketplace. 1389 01:14:10,120 --> 01:14:10,240 Speaker 18: Now. 1390 01:14:10,280 --> 01:14:12,000 Speaker 27: There are a few things that we know for sure, 1391 01:14:12,120 --> 01:14:15,920 Speaker 27: right Like you mentioned Benjamin Netanyaho being in town, like 1392 01:14:15,960 --> 01:14:17,760 Speaker 27: that's something we can defendit. 1393 01:14:17,320 --> 01:14:18,759 Speaker 26: If you say is the case. 1394 01:14:18,760 --> 01:14:22,200 Speaker 27: But as far as nations being at the negotiating table again, 1395 01:14:22,400 --> 01:14:24,760 Speaker 27: there's rumors that there's a lot more. There's rumors that 1396 01:14:24,800 --> 01:14:28,280 Speaker 27: there's a lot less. We have heard some EU officials 1397 01:14:28,360 --> 01:14:31,200 Speaker 27: go on the record saying that they are willing on 1398 01:14:31,320 --> 01:14:34,200 Speaker 27: certain things to go to zero tariffs if the US 1399 01:14:34,200 --> 01:14:37,439 Speaker 27: does as well. So again, there is definitely some good 1400 01:14:37,439 --> 01:14:40,880 Speaker 27: progress here, but overall there's a lot of rumor, which 1401 01:14:40,880 --> 01:14:42,960 Speaker 27: means there's a lot of volatility. Another thing that we 1402 01:14:43,040 --> 01:14:45,559 Speaker 27: know for sure was that because there were so many 1403 01:14:45,600 --> 01:14:48,320 Speaker 27: short positions on Wall Street, as soon as we saw 1404 01:14:48,320 --> 01:14:50,320 Speaker 27: a little bit of an uptick today in stocks, there 1405 01:14:50,360 --> 01:14:52,599 Speaker 27: was a rush to cover. In other words, people were 1406 01:14:52,600 --> 01:14:55,880 Speaker 27: starting to buy stocks for fear that if the price 1407 01:14:55,920 --> 01:14:58,360 Speaker 27: went up, they'd have to buy them at an even 1408 01:14:58,439 --> 01:15:01,360 Speaker 27: higher price. Now, normally stock prices going up would be 1409 01:15:01,360 --> 01:15:03,559 Speaker 27: a good thing, but in the case of a short position, 1410 01:15:03,600 --> 01:15:04,880 Speaker 27: it's exactly the opposite. 1411 01:15:04,960 --> 01:15:07,559 Speaker 26: You're betting on things going down, not up. 1412 01:15:07,600 --> 01:15:12,200 Speaker 27: So whatever the case, this all caused a tremendous, tremendous 1413 01:15:12,200 --> 01:15:14,720 Speaker 27: amount of not just volatility, but a huge swing. The 1414 01:15:14,800 --> 01:15:17,559 Speaker 27: Dow had its biggest intra day swing ever, moving over 1415 01:15:17,640 --> 01:15:20,880 Speaker 27: twenty six hundred points between its lowest and its highest 1416 01:15:20,880 --> 01:15:23,200 Speaker 27: point of the trading day. And we're only halfway done 1417 01:15:23,200 --> 01:15:26,240 Speaker 27: at this point. So again tons of rumors, which means 1418 01:15:26,240 --> 01:15:29,559 Speaker 27: tons of volatility. Markets are looking for direction, they're looking 1419 01:15:29,560 --> 01:15:32,200 Speaker 27: for definitive answers. We thought we were going to get 1420 01:15:32,200 --> 01:15:35,679 Speaker 27: that last week with the tariff announcement, and unfortunately, because 1421 01:15:35,680 --> 01:15:38,080 Speaker 27: of the way these tariffs have been structured, we've gotten 1422 01:15:38,120 --> 01:15:41,240 Speaker 27: exactly the opposite of clear answers. We've gotten a lot 1423 01:15:41,280 --> 01:15:42,000 Speaker 27: of misdirection. 1424 01:15:43,280 --> 01:15:45,320 Speaker 23: Yeah, I want to go into that idea of the 1425 01:15:45,320 --> 01:15:48,840 Speaker 23: way these tariffs are structured, doctor and TONI because there's 1426 01:15:48,880 --> 01:15:52,360 Speaker 23: been a lot of back and forth, especially on social 1427 01:15:52,400 --> 01:15:57,639 Speaker 23: media about that. Some people feel that President Trump shot 1428 01:15:57,840 --> 01:16:00,320 Speaker 23: too high on the tariffs, that they're not one to one, 1429 01:16:01,080 --> 01:16:04,679 Speaker 23: but they say they're factoring in uh, you know, trade 1430 01:16:04,720 --> 01:16:06,479 Speaker 23: deficits as well as other. 1431 01:16:06,560 --> 01:16:08,680 Speaker 8: Non terror related trade barriers. 1432 01:16:09,320 --> 01:16:12,240 Speaker 23: Basically, President Trump, if I was if I was looking 1433 01:16:12,280 --> 01:16:16,080 Speaker 23: at this, I would say that he is very provably, 1434 01:16:16,160 --> 01:16:19,280 Speaker 23: a very a true believer that he wants to get 1435 01:16:19,320 --> 01:16:24,040 Speaker 23: equal trade meaning no trade deficit ongoing with the United 1436 01:16:24,080 --> 01:16:25,799 Speaker 23: States and our trading partners. 1437 01:16:27,040 --> 01:16:28,639 Speaker 8: I predict that this. 1438 01:16:28,560 --> 01:16:32,519 Speaker 23: Is going to be a fairly long term struggle in 1439 01:16:32,560 --> 01:16:34,360 Speaker 23: a trade war, if we want to use that word. 1440 01:16:35,120 --> 01:16:37,200 Speaker 8: What are are you seeing the same. 1441 01:16:37,560 --> 01:16:40,400 Speaker 23: And please comment on the way that these tariffs were 1442 01:16:40,400 --> 01:16:42,280 Speaker 23: structured in the first place, where they was. 1443 01:16:42,280 --> 01:16:43,920 Speaker 8: It done right with the things that we could have 1444 01:16:43,920 --> 01:16:44,400 Speaker 8: done better? 1445 01:16:45,640 --> 01:16:49,920 Speaker 27: The floor is yours, Andrews are great questions, Thank you 1446 01:16:49,960 --> 01:16:52,280 Speaker 27: for asking them. And it's really something I think where 1447 01:16:52,280 --> 01:16:54,640 Speaker 27: we need to set the record straight because there is 1448 01:16:54,680 --> 01:16:56,120 Speaker 27: so much misinformation out there. 1449 01:16:56,040 --> 01:16:57,880 Speaker 26: There are way too many versions of the truth. Here, 1450 01:16:57,880 --> 01:16:59,880 Speaker 26: there's only one truth. So here it is. 1451 01:17:00,080 --> 01:17:04,679 Speaker 27: What President Trump wanted were true reciprocal tariffs. In other words, 1452 01:17:04,680 --> 01:17:07,479 Speaker 27: he wanted a kind of economic golden rule, if you will, 1453 01:17:07,640 --> 01:17:10,160 Speaker 27: where we say to other countries, look, you are imposing 1454 01:17:10,200 --> 01:17:12,840 Speaker 27: these tariff and non tariff barriers on us. You are 1455 01:17:12,880 --> 01:17:17,160 Speaker 27: penalizing our exporters and therefore our workers, and so we're 1456 01:17:17,200 --> 01:17:19,479 Speaker 27: going to do exactly the same thing to you, holding 1457 01:17:19,600 --> 01:17:22,040 Speaker 27: up a mirror as it were to these other countries. 1458 01:17:22,400 --> 01:17:25,120 Speaker 26: That is what he tasked members of his. 1459 01:17:25,040 --> 01:17:30,240 Speaker 27: Administration with, like the Commerce Department, like the US Trade Representative, etc. 1460 01:17:31,720 --> 01:17:33,919 Speaker 27: That was the whole reason for the delay, for example, 1461 01:17:34,040 --> 01:17:37,280 Speaker 27: waiting until April second, was to give those folks time 1462 01:17:37,600 --> 01:17:41,400 Speaker 27: to calculate what are the average effective tariff rates among 1463 01:17:41,520 --> 01:17:44,360 Speaker 27: all these different countries around the world. Instead, what we 1464 01:17:44,439 --> 01:17:47,280 Speaker 27: got was something that has literally nothing to do Let 1465 01:17:47,280 --> 01:17:50,400 Speaker 27: me be perfectly clear. These tariff rates have nothing to 1466 01:17:50,479 --> 01:17:53,840 Speaker 27: do with other nations tariff and non tariff barriers. They 1467 01:17:53,880 --> 01:17:56,880 Speaker 27: simply looked at the ratio of imports to exports and 1468 01:17:57,000 --> 01:17:59,720 Speaker 27: only looked at the imports and exports of products, not 1469 01:17:59,760 --> 01:18:02,599 Speaker 27: even services. And so at the end of the day, 1470 01:18:02,840 --> 01:18:05,680 Speaker 27: you're simply looking at trade deficits, and again it's just 1471 01:18:05,720 --> 01:18:09,639 Speaker 27: the trade deficit in terms of goods. Unfortunately, that means 1472 01:18:10,120 --> 01:18:13,320 Speaker 27: for some countries where we actually have an overall trade surplus, 1473 01:18:14,240 --> 01:18:18,439 Speaker 27: maybe we sell them shoes. Excuse me, they sell us shoes, 1474 01:18:18,640 --> 01:18:20,960 Speaker 27: so we're buying shoes from them, let's say. And then 1475 01:18:21,000 --> 01:18:23,840 Speaker 27: maybe we turn around and sell them financial services and 1476 01:18:23,880 --> 01:18:26,599 Speaker 27: they are buying much more in financial services from us. 1477 01:18:26,800 --> 01:18:29,439 Speaker 27: Then we buy shoes from them. That's a trade surplus 1478 01:18:29,439 --> 01:18:32,560 Speaker 27: for the United States, except that according to this formula, 1479 01:18:32,800 --> 01:18:35,559 Speaker 27: it's counted as a trade deficit, and we impose a 1480 01:18:35,600 --> 01:18:40,200 Speaker 27: penalty tariff rate on that country for having that trade deficit. 1481 01:18:39,800 --> 01:18:42,719 Speaker 26: In goods with them. That's a ludicrous trade policy. 1482 01:18:42,920 --> 01:18:45,400 Speaker 27: It's not going to get us what we want, which 1483 01:18:45,439 --> 01:18:46,599 Speaker 27: is more free trade. 1484 01:18:46,600 --> 01:18:48,519 Speaker 26: That's the whole point of reciprocal tariffs. 1485 01:18:48,680 --> 01:18:51,000 Speaker 27: It's to force other nations to get rid of their 1486 01:18:51,040 --> 01:18:53,920 Speaker 27: tariff and non tariff barriers so that just as foreign 1487 01:18:54,000 --> 01:18:57,559 Speaker 27: nations have access to our consumer markets, our producers can 1488 01:18:57,600 --> 01:19:00,960 Speaker 27: have access to their consumer markets. That the here we 1489 01:19:01,000 --> 01:19:05,720 Speaker 27: want more free trade, not less. It's not that we're protectionists, 1490 01:19:05,760 --> 01:19:09,760 Speaker 27: it's that again we want true reciprocal free trade, free 1491 01:19:09,800 --> 01:19:12,160 Speaker 27: and fair trade what some people call it. And the 1492 01:19:12,280 --> 01:19:14,920 Speaker 27: problem with how these tariffs are structured, because they're not 1493 01:19:15,000 --> 01:19:18,479 Speaker 27: actually looking at other nations tariff and non tariff barriers, 1494 01:19:18,840 --> 01:19:21,439 Speaker 27: is that we have imposed penalty rates on many countries 1495 01:19:21,439 --> 01:19:23,600 Speaker 27: who don't deserve them. Why on earth is it we 1496 01:19:23,680 --> 01:19:26,439 Speaker 27: have a teriff rate on Israel that's almost twice as 1497 01:19:26,520 --> 01:19:29,040 Speaker 27: high as the one on Iran. Why is it that 1498 01:19:29,160 --> 01:19:31,680 Speaker 27: China has a teriff rate that's just frankly middle of 1499 01:19:31,720 --> 01:19:34,599 Speaker 27: the pack. They should have the highest rate among any 1500 01:19:34,680 --> 01:19:37,920 Speaker 27: nation because they engage in the most trade abuses, whether 1501 01:19:37,960 --> 01:19:42,800 Speaker 27: that's manipulation of the currency, subsidizing industry, and dumping artificially 1502 01:19:42,840 --> 01:19:46,599 Speaker 27: low priced products in other countries markets you have slave labor. 1503 01:19:46,960 --> 01:19:50,160 Speaker 27: I can go on and on, whether it's currency manipulation, etc. 1504 01:19:50,640 --> 01:19:52,200 Speaker 27: The list just goes on and on when it comes 1505 01:19:52,240 --> 01:19:54,880 Speaker 27: to China and all of their unfair trade practices, and 1506 01:19:54,960 --> 01:19:58,080 Speaker 27: yet again they have a middle of the road tariff rate. 1507 01:19:58,200 --> 01:20:01,599 Speaker 27: So the issue here is not the goal, right. President 1508 01:20:01,640 --> 01:20:04,679 Speaker 27: Trump absolutely has the right goal, and I even think 1509 01:20:04,720 --> 01:20:09,760 Speaker 27: that his method, if you will, or his tactic of 1510 01:20:10,120 --> 01:20:13,720 Speaker 27: reciprocal tariffs was a good one. The issue here is 1511 01:20:13,920 --> 01:20:17,040 Speaker 27: how that was implemented. The issue here is that he 1512 01:20:17,080 --> 01:20:20,599 Speaker 27: has people within his administration who frankly have not served 1513 01:20:20,680 --> 01:20:23,720 Speaker 27: him well enough, who did not provide him with the 1514 01:20:23,760 --> 01:20:26,480 Speaker 27: reciprocal tariff schedule that was promised. 1515 01:20:26,600 --> 01:20:27,800 Speaker 26: That's the issue here. 1516 01:20:28,080 --> 01:20:31,200 Speaker 27: And again, if you look at market's reaction when it 1517 01:20:31,240 --> 01:20:32,760 Speaker 27: was first announced we were going to have this ten 1518 01:20:32,800 --> 01:20:36,400 Speaker 27: percent across the board, tariff markets actually rallied. Initially, the 1519 01:20:36,400 --> 01:20:38,960 Speaker 27: futures markets went up I think about one point five 1520 01:20:39,040 --> 01:20:41,240 Speaker 27: percent on that news. But then all of a sudden, 1521 01:20:41,280 --> 01:20:44,799 Speaker 27: when this tariff schedule appeared where it made absolutely no sense. 1522 01:20:45,240 --> 01:20:47,680 Speaker 27: These numbers clearly did not come from tariff and non 1523 01:20:47,720 --> 01:20:51,280 Speaker 27: tariff barriers. That's when futures started to tumble. And then 1524 01:20:51,400 --> 01:20:54,920 Speaker 27: we've had now three days basically where the markets have 1525 01:20:55,040 --> 01:20:56,360 Speaker 27: really taken it on the chin. 1526 01:20:56,720 --> 01:20:57,040 Speaker 26: Again. 1527 01:20:57,080 --> 01:20:59,960 Speaker 27: This all has to do with uncertainty. People don't know 1528 01:21:00,200 --> 01:21:03,240 Speaker 27: where we're gonna go from here, and that's a problem. 1529 01:21:03,840 --> 01:21:07,400 Speaker 8: Yeah, And I think to your point, I mean, President Trump. 1530 01:21:07,120 --> 01:21:10,120 Speaker 23: I believe everything that I'm seeing and everything that I've 1531 01:21:10,120 --> 01:21:16,120 Speaker 23: seen from him historically is dead said on correcting a 1532 01:21:16,200 --> 01:21:19,680 Speaker 23: trade deficit that we currently are experiencing. Right, let's just 1533 01:21:19,720 --> 01:21:21,479 Speaker 23: play one of many clips that are out there. 1534 01:21:21,680 --> 01:21:22,800 Speaker 8: Let's play one oh seven. 1535 01:21:22,880 --> 01:21:26,200 Speaker 23: This is a twenty twelve President Trump talking about in tariffs. 1536 01:21:26,520 --> 01:21:27,160 Speaker 8: One oh seven. 1537 01:21:29,000 --> 01:21:31,880 Speaker 26: And I said, somebody said, well, what would you do? 1538 01:21:31,960 --> 01:21:34,200 Speaker 6: What can you do so easy? 1539 01:21:35,600 --> 01:21:41,520 Speaker 28: I dropped a twenty five percent tax on China. And 1540 01:21:41,760 --> 01:21:44,360 Speaker 28: you know, I said to somebody that is really the messenger. 1541 01:21:44,560 --> 01:21:46,080 Speaker 6: The messenger is important. 1542 01:21:46,439 --> 01:21:50,280 Speaker 28: I could have one man say we're going to text 1543 01:21:50,360 --> 01:21:55,240 Speaker 28: you twenty five percent, and I could say another, listen, 1544 01:21:55,960 --> 01:21:57,799 Speaker 28: we're going to text you twenty five percent. 1545 01:22:01,160 --> 01:22:04,040 Speaker 23: I mean, there's tons of these clips around. So I mean, 1546 01:22:04,400 --> 01:22:07,160 Speaker 23: here's what I've and he's been consistent throughout the years, 1547 01:22:07,200 --> 01:22:09,800 Speaker 23: and I think he's seeing this moment as his one 1548 01:22:09,880 --> 01:22:14,120 Speaker 23: opportunity where he's early on in his term to seize 1549 01:22:14,600 --> 01:22:17,240 Speaker 23: this issue and push it forward. 1550 01:22:17,280 --> 01:22:18,960 Speaker 8: Now, I will agree that. 1551 01:22:18,960 --> 01:22:21,919 Speaker 23: The way it was done, I think has spooked the markets. 1552 01:22:22,000 --> 01:22:23,760 Speaker 23: I think you could have done it a different way. 1553 01:22:24,400 --> 01:22:28,679 Speaker 23: So let's game this out then, doctor Antoni. So where 1554 01:22:28,680 --> 01:22:31,840 Speaker 23: would you like to see his strategy go from here? 1555 01:22:32,000 --> 01:22:35,400 Speaker 23: Because Trump is going to claim a win one way 1556 01:22:35,479 --> 01:22:38,680 Speaker 23: or the other. So that's we know politically that's going 1557 01:22:38,760 --> 01:22:39,960 Speaker 23: to be part of the next step. 1558 01:22:40,520 --> 01:22:42,080 Speaker 8: What does he have to do to sort of. 1559 01:22:42,080 --> 01:22:46,840 Speaker 23: Claim plausibly that his tariff and his policies have effectuated 1560 01:22:46,840 --> 01:22:50,519 Speaker 23: the change he wanted while also rewarding the markets, bringing 1561 01:22:50,560 --> 01:22:53,080 Speaker 23: everybody to a stable place with predictability. 1562 01:22:54,760 --> 01:22:56,719 Speaker 27: Well, I think one of the key things is going 1563 01:22:56,800 --> 01:23:01,040 Speaker 27: to be during these negotiating processes with different countries will 1564 01:23:01,040 --> 01:23:05,360 Speaker 27: be to come up with actual average effective TIF rates. 1565 01:23:05,439 --> 01:23:07,760 Speaker 27: So you look at a nation like Canada, look at 1566 01:23:07,760 --> 01:23:10,360 Speaker 27: all of their teriffs, but also their non tariff barriers, 1567 01:23:10,560 --> 01:23:13,400 Speaker 27: their quotas for example that they put on things like 1568 01:23:13,720 --> 01:23:14,960 Speaker 27: American dairy products. 1569 01:23:14,960 --> 01:23:17,280 Speaker 26: You that really hurts our dairy farmers. 1570 01:23:17,320 --> 01:23:20,559 Speaker 27: So figure out, okay, what is the mathematical equivalent in 1571 01:23:20,640 --> 01:23:22,000 Speaker 27: terms of an overall tariff? 1572 01:23:22,280 --> 01:23:24,440 Speaker 26: And so say to Canada, look. 1573 01:23:24,479 --> 01:23:26,880 Speaker 27: If you are willing to get rid of X, Y 1574 01:23:27,080 --> 01:23:30,000 Speaker 27: and Z tariffs or non tariff barriers that you currently 1575 01:23:30,000 --> 01:23:33,040 Speaker 27: have in place, we will reduce this tariff rate by 1576 01:23:33,080 --> 01:23:36,800 Speaker 27: a certain amount. Okay, and that's your negotiating tool. But 1577 01:23:36,960 --> 01:23:40,439 Speaker 27: the problem with again, with the current tariff schedule, when 1578 01:23:40,439 --> 01:23:44,000 Speaker 27: there is no real relationship between those trade barriers and 1579 01:23:44,080 --> 01:23:46,400 Speaker 27: the rates, some of these nations are coming to the 1580 01:23:46,400 --> 01:23:48,719 Speaker 27: negotiating table with their arms up in the air saying, 1581 01:23:48,880 --> 01:23:51,280 Speaker 27: we have no idea what we're supposed to do here, 1582 01:23:51,400 --> 01:23:53,599 Speaker 27: We have no idea how we can actually get these 1583 01:23:53,640 --> 01:23:56,840 Speaker 27: tariff rates down. So I think some further explanation from 1584 01:23:56,880 --> 01:24:00,160 Speaker 27: the White House and some further clarification on what the 1585 01:24:00,560 --> 01:24:03,320 Speaker 27: actual rates should look like would go a long way. 1586 01:24:03,439 --> 01:24:06,320 Speaker 27: The other really big thing is that it seems like 1587 01:24:06,360 --> 01:24:08,719 Speaker 27: we've kind of put the cart before the horse. 1588 01:24:08,760 --> 01:24:09,559 Speaker 26: In a certain sense. 1589 01:24:10,120 --> 01:24:14,439 Speaker 27: What this economy really needs is supply side policies. We 1590 01:24:14,520 --> 01:24:18,839 Speaker 27: need drastic I mean drastic cuts to government spending, to taxes, 1591 01:24:19,120 --> 01:24:22,919 Speaker 27: to regulation. We need an energy production boom in this country. 1592 01:24:23,160 --> 01:24:26,320 Speaker 27: And so by getting tariffs first without all of those 1593 01:24:26,360 --> 01:24:29,599 Speaker 27: other things, the American middle class who has been drowning, 1594 01:24:29,640 --> 01:24:32,240 Speaker 27: it's like we just threw them an anchor without first 1595 01:24:32,240 --> 01:24:35,200 Speaker 27: building them a boat. And so it is imperative that 1596 01:24:35,240 --> 01:24:38,240 Speaker 27: we get things like the tax cut across the finish line. 1597 01:24:38,479 --> 01:24:40,960 Speaker 27: And also what I would really like to see from Congress. 1598 01:24:41,000 --> 01:24:43,840 Speaker 27: You know, this isn't just the administration's fault. Congress has 1599 01:24:43,880 --> 01:24:46,800 Speaker 27: been painfully slow to act on this. So I would 1600 01:24:46,880 --> 01:24:50,200 Speaker 27: love to see Congress in the reconciliation process where we 1601 01:24:50,280 --> 01:24:54,240 Speaker 27: get the tax bill through, to include in that process 1602 01:24:54,640 --> 01:24:58,080 Speaker 27: this ten percent kind of baseline tariff that the President 1603 01:24:58,080 --> 01:25:01,519 Speaker 27: has put in place. Put that into statute, but do 1604 01:25:01,600 --> 01:25:04,320 Speaker 27: it as a border adjustment tax, and that has a 1605 01:25:04,320 --> 01:25:07,799 Speaker 27: lot of different advantages. First, it gives a huge benefit 1606 01:25:07,840 --> 01:25:12,280 Speaker 27: to our exporters, which encourages production here, encourages manufacturing, and 1607 01:25:12,439 --> 01:25:17,160 Speaker 27: encourages American jobs, which is tremendous. But it also puts 1608 01:25:17,200 --> 01:25:20,160 Speaker 27: the tariff only on imports, so you're not going to 1609 01:25:20,240 --> 01:25:23,639 Speaker 27: have things like the car industry where a car part 1610 01:25:23,720 --> 01:25:26,479 Speaker 27: may cross the border between the US, Mexico, and Canada 1611 01:25:26,720 --> 01:25:29,439 Speaker 27: half a dozen times before it goes into the final 1612 01:25:29,479 --> 01:25:31,800 Speaker 27: car assembly. You don't want that to get hit with 1613 01:25:31,880 --> 01:25:35,439 Speaker 27: attax every single time. So a border adjustment tax solves 1614 01:25:35,640 --> 01:25:36,799 Speaker 27: a lot of those problems. 1615 01:25:36,800 --> 01:25:38,439 Speaker 26: And the other great thing by putting it in. 1616 01:25:38,400 --> 01:25:41,200 Speaker 27: Statute is the fact that now you can include that 1617 01:25:41,640 --> 01:25:44,920 Speaker 27: in the calculation of the reconciliation process, so that all 1618 01:25:44,960 --> 01:25:47,840 Speaker 27: the revenues can be used to reduce income taxes. 1619 01:25:48,280 --> 01:25:50,920 Speaker 23: Doctor Antoni got hit a brake. Stay right there, We'll 1620 01:25:50,960 --> 01:25:51,439 Speaker 23: be right. 1621 01:25:51,320 --> 01:26:03,000 Speaker 14: Back relentless spirit. You're listening to the Charlie Kirk Show. 1622 01:26:04,439 --> 01:26:06,400 Speaker 8: All right, Welcome back to the Charlie Kirk Show. 1623 01:26:06,439 --> 01:26:09,800 Speaker 23: Andrew Covid in for Charlie, who's on his campus tour 1624 01:26:10,439 --> 01:26:13,160 Speaker 23: this week. I want to welcome back doctor e j 1625 01:26:13,240 --> 01:26:14,560 Speaker 23: Antoni from Heritage. 1626 01:26:15,520 --> 01:26:17,240 Speaker 8: Doctor Antoni, you were talking about. 1627 01:26:17,040 --> 01:26:20,640 Speaker 23: Something and I think it's it's as nuanced point, but 1628 01:26:20,680 --> 01:26:24,439 Speaker 23: I think it's incredibly important because you brought up the 1629 01:26:24,479 --> 01:26:25,839 Speaker 23: reconciliation package. 1630 01:26:25,920 --> 01:26:28,439 Speaker 8: Now, there was some waffling, and. 1631 01:26:28,400 --> 01:26:31,559 Speaker 23: I would say they Congress was attempting to water down 1632 01:26:32,280 --> 01:26:37,200 Speaker 23: some of these spending cuts, the tax extending Trump's tax cuts. 1633 01:26:37,240 --> 01:26:39,599 Speaker 23: There was I mean, you've got the moderates and you've 1634 01:26:39,600 --> 01:26:43,120 Speaker 23: got the fiscal hawks, and I mean what we were 1635 01:26:43,120 --> 01:26:45,920 Speaker 23: getting was a muddled mess. I do think one of 1636 01:26:46,000 --> 01:26:50,880 Speaker 23: the unintended consequences, positive consequences of what we're seeing in 1637 01:26:50,880 --> 01:26:55,280 Speaker 23: the markets is now Congress has added incentive to ensure 1638 01:26:55,320 --> 01:26:57,400 Speaker 23: that we are getting the supply side relief that you're 1639 01:26:57,439 --> 01:27:00,519 Speaker 23: talking about, meaning are we going to get derecation, are 1640 01:27:00,520 --> 01:27:02,360 Speaker 23: we going to get are we going to. 1641 01:27:02,280 --> 01:27:05,000 Speaker 8: Get these tax cuts extended? 1642 01:27:05,120 --> 01:27:10,200 Speaker 23: Are we also going to add this ten percent baseline tariff. 1643 01:27:09,840 --> 01:27:11,439 Speaker 8: Or you. 1644 01:27:13,120 --> 01:27:15,120 Speaker 23: Categorize it a different way, But what that does is 1645 01:27:15,120 --> 01:27:20,080 Speaker 23: it essentially builds in that revenue into this reconciliation package. 1646 01:27:20,600 --> 01:27:22,400 Speaker 23: Continue on with that, because I think it's a really 1647 01:27:22,439 --> 01:27:25,719 Speaker 23: important point that nobody's really bringing up at this point. 1648 01:27:27,320 --> 01:27:28,280 Speaker 26: Well, thank you, Andrew. 1649 01:27:28,439 --> 01:27:33,120 Speaker 27: Basically, because these different tariffs which are going to generate revenue, 1650 01:27:33,160 --> 01:27:36,360 Speaker 27: these tariffs are being put in place by the executive 1651 01:27:36,520 --> 01:27:39,960 Speaker 27: and not put in statute by the legislature, they can't 1652 01:27:40,040 --> 01:27:44,320 Speaker 27: be counted in the reconciliation process in terms of revenue 1653 01:27:44,320 --> 01:27:46,519 Speaker 27: that's going to come into the treasury. And that's so 1654 01:27:46,600 --> 01:27:50,439 Speaker 27: important because under reconciliation, this is supposed to be a 1655 01:27:50,479 --> 01:27:54,120 Speaker 27: process by which you take an existing budget and you 1656 01:27:54,160 --> 01:27:56,760 Speaker 27: basically just tweak it. And so you're not supposed to 1657 01:27:56,800 --> 01:28:00,519 Speaker 27: have drastic changes to either revenue or expenditures. You're you're 1658 01:28:00,560 --> 01:28:02,519 Speaker 27: supposed to essentially have no effect. 1659 01:28:02,600 --> 01:28:04,040 Speaker 26: It should it should even out. 1660 01:28:04,320 --> 01:28:06,639 Speaker 27: So if we're going to make a change like reducing 1661 01:28:06,720 --> 01:28:09,600 Speaker 27: marginal tax rates on income taxes. 1662 01:28:09,240 --> 01:28:11,040 Speaker 26: Which is terrific. That's a great thing. 1663 01:28:11,240 --> 01:28:13,759 Speaker 27: It's exactly what the economy needs, it's what the middle 1664 01:28:13,760 --> 01:28:14,439 Speaker 27: class needs. 1665 01:28:14,479 --> 01:28:16,000 Speaker 26: They need tax relief. 1666 01:28:16,360 --> 01:28:19,040 Speaker 27: But now you're going to need to offset that somewhere. 1667 01:28:19,040 --> 01:28:21,280 Speaker 27: And I understand the fact that there's a law for 1668 01:28:21,400 --> 01:28:22,280 Speaker 27: curve effect here. 1669 01:28:22,439 --> 01:28:23,439 Speaker 26: In other words, as you. 1670 01:28:23,439 --> 01:28:27,639 Speaker 27: Reduce tax rates, that increases economic activity, which grows your 1671 01:28:27,680 --> 01:28:30,759 Speaker 27: tax base. And if you grow the tax base faster 1672 01:28:31,200 --> 01:28:35,200 Speaker 27: than the tax rate declines, overall tax revenue actually increases. 1673 01:28:35,479 --> 01:28:37,920 Speaker 27: That's what we saw during the first Trump administration. The 1674 01:28:38,000 --> 01:28:40,880 Speaker 27: problem is that's not how the Congressional Budget Office scores it, 1675 01:28:41,120 --> 01:28:44,040 Speaker 27: and so you need what they sometimes call an offset 1676 01:28:44,400 --> 01:28:47,360 Speaker 27: to the reduction in personal income tax rates. And a 1677 01:28:47,400 --> 01:28:49,880 Speaker 27: great way to do that would be to take the 1678 01:28:49,920 --> 01:28:52,720 Speaker 27: revenue that's going to come in from a tariff, a 1679 01:28:53,320 --> 01:28:57,000 Speaker 27: border adjustment tax is what we really have, and then 1680 01:28:57,080 --> 01:29:00,719 Speaker 27: you can you can now essentially shift of the tax 1681 01:29:00,760 --> 01:29:04,480 Speaker 27: burden onto foreigners, which is great from an economic standpoint, 1682 01:29:04,800 --> 01:29:08,040 Speaker 27: because there is actually an externality at play here. 1683 01:29:08,080 --> 01:29:11,120 Speaker 26: It is our navy that patrols the world's sea lanes. 1684 01:29:11,200 --> 01:29:15,040 Speaker 27: It is our navy, at our expense, that keeps the 1685 01:29:15,320 --> 01:29:19,080 Speaker 27: ocean safe for international trade, and so it only makes 1686 01:29:19,120 --> 01:29:22,519 Speaker 27: sense that other nations would help pay that expense, and 1687 01:29:22,600 --> 01:29:24,160 Speaker 27: a great way for them to do it would be 1688 01:29:24,200 --> 01:29:27,120 Speaker 27: to tax the very thing that our navy is supporting, 1689 01:29:27,200 --> 01:29:30,120 Speaker 27: which again is international trade. 1690 01:29:30,600 --> 01:29:33,919 Speaker 8: I totally agree. I think that's really well said doctor Antoni. 1691 01:29:34,240 --> 01:29:38,719 Speaker 23: I want to switch gears slightly here, and this clip 1692 01:29:38,760 --> 01:29:41,840 Speaker 23: was making the rounds with Secretary of Treasury Scott Besson. 1693 01:29:41,960 --> 01:29:44,200 Speaker 23: He sat down with Tucker Carlston and he made this 1694 01:29:44,560 --> 01:29:48,519 Speaker 23: pretty remarkable statement. Now, I want to factor in what 1695 01:29:48,640 --> 01:29:53,439 Speaker 23: Scott Besson says here in this clip and then kind 1696 01:29:53,439 --> 01:29:57,400 Speaker 23: of use that to understand the way the market is reacting. 1697 01:29:57,520 --> 01:30:02,160 Speaker 23: Is it an overreaction? Is are the wrong people incentivized 1698 01:30:02,520 --> 01:30:04,200 Speaker 23: in the wrong ways here? So let's go ahead and 1699 01:30:04,240 --> 01:30:05,559 Speaker 23: play cut one twenty four. 1700 01:30:06,680 --> 01:30:10,720 Speaker 29: And I'm not happy with what's going on in the 1701 01:30:10,720 --> 01:30:16,160 Speaker 29: market today. But the distribution of equities across households. The 1702 01:30:16,160 --> 01:30:20,240 Speaker 29: top ten percent of Americans own eighty eight percent of equities, 1703 01:30:20,960 --> 01:30:24,240 Speaker 29: eighty eight percent of the stop market. The next forty 1704 01:30:25,040 --> 01:30:28,400 Speaker 29: owns twelve percent of the stop market. The bottom fifty 1705 01:30:28,840 --> 01:30:33,439 Speaker 29: has debt, they have credit card bills, they rent their homes, 1706 01:30:33,680 --> 01:30:37,040 Speaker 29: they have auto loans, and we've got to give them 1707 01:30:37,120 --> 01:30:37,759 Speaker 29: some relief. 1708 01:30:39,960 --> 01:30:43,000 Speaker 23: So doctor Antoine, let me frame it this way. There 1709 01:30:43,360 --> 01:30:47,920 Speaker 23: seems to be a disconnect between Wall Street and Main Street. 1710 01:30:48,280 --> 01:30:52,320 Speaker 23: And obviously when Trump has done this tariff regiment, we 1711 01:30:53,120 --> 01:30:58,520 Speaker 23: are seeing Wall Street panic. They're unsure, there's no predictability. 1712 01:30:58,840 --> 01:30:59,800 Speaker 8: I understand that. Night. 1713 01:31:00,479 --> 01:31:06,040 Speaker 23: The point is, is this recalibration of our economy a 1714 01:31:06,080 --> 01:31:08,559 Speaker 23: way to make it so that Main Street finally gets 1715 01:31:08,560 --> 01:31:10,600 Speaker 23: that relief and Wall Street's just going to have to 1716 01:31:10,640 --> 01:31:12,519 Speaker 23: take it on the chin, or is there a way 1717 01:31:12,520 --> 01:31:14,960 Speaker 23: to make them both win too. 1718 01:31:15,160 --> 01:31:17,439 Speaker 26: That's a great great that's a great question, Andrew. 1719 01:31:17,479 --> 01:31:20,559 Speaker 27: And look, it's not that we need to redistribute wealth 1720 01:31:20,800 --> 01:31:24,160 Speaker 27: from Wall Street to main Street. The redistribution of wealth 1721 01:31:24,240 --> 01:31:27,639 Speaker 27: is not the answer here. Instead, what we primarily want 1722 01:31:27,720 --> 01:31:30,040 Speaker 27: is we want to focus on main Street growing. 1723 01:31:30,120 --> 01:31:30,320 Speaker 6: Now. 1724 01:31:30,400 --> 01:31:32,720 Speaker 27: The good news for Wall Street is the fact that 1725 01:31:32,800 --> 01:31:35,599 Speaker 27: when main Street does better, wall Street will too. 1726 01:31:35,960 --> 01:31:36,120 Speaker 13: Right. 1727 01:31:36,400 --> 01:31:38,679 Speaker 27: The problem is that in this country we haven't had 1728 01:31:38,720 --> 01:31:41,960 Speaker 27: that happen in a very very long time. Instead, Wall 1729 01:31:42,000 --> 01:31:45,160 Speaker 27: Street has continuously to has continued to do better at 1730 01:31:45,200 --> 01:31:48,599 Speaker 27: the expense of Main Street. When you have runaway inflation, 1731 01:31:48,760 --> 01:31:52,360 Speaker 27: for example, what goes up in price everything. The price 1732 01:31:52,400 --> 01:31:54,640 Speaker 27: of a home goes up, rent goes up, food goes up. 1733 01:31:54,680 --> 01:31:57,599 Speaker 27: But you know what else goes up, equities. So stocks 1734 01:31:57,640 --> 01:32:02,080 Speaker 27: appreciate in price tremendously. Those who already own homes, those 1735 01:32:02,120 --> 01:32:04,920 Speaker 27: who own an apartment complex, let's say, whatever the case 1736 01:32:04,960 --> 01:32:07,200 Speaker 27: may be, all of those assets are going to rise 1737 01:32:07,760 --> 01:32:12,080 Speaker 27: in price. And so for the people who have essentially 1738 01:32:12,920 --> 01:32:17,000 Speaker 27: already established a wealth position, they do just fine. But 1739 01:32:17,200 --> 01:32:20,400 Speaker 27: everyone else, as the Secretary was just saying, they're forced 1740 01:32:20,400 --> 01:32:23,520 Speaker 27: to take on a lot of debt. Homes become perpetually 1741 01:32:23,560 --> 01:32:27,840 Speaker 27: out of reach. The median mortgage payment on a home 1742 01:32:27,880 --> 01:32:31,160 Speaker 27: today is literally twice as high as it was four 1743 01:32:31,200 --> 01:32:34,240 Speaker 27: years ago. In other words, under the Biden administration, the 1744 01:32:34,320 --> 01:32:37,480 Speaker 27: median price home became twice as expensive. 1745 01:32:37,560 --> 01:32:38,400 Speaker 26: That's obscene. 1746 01:32:38,760 --> 01:32:41,280 Speaker 27: And that's why, for the first time since the Great Depression, 1747 01:32:41,520 --> 01:32:43,160 Speaker 27: people think they're not going to be able to achieve 1748 01:32:43,200 --> 01:32:45,559 Speaker 27: the standard of living that their parents had. So this 1749 01:32:45,640 --> 01:32:49,040 Speaker 27: whole reordering of global trade is not about trying to 1750 01:32:49,040 --> 01:32:52,240 Speaker 27: penalize Wall Street or force the market to tank. No, 1751 01:32:52,840 --> 01:32:55,000 Speaker 27: the reason the markets are tanking right now is because 1752 01:32:55,000 --> 01:32:56,360 Speaker 27: they're looking for direction. 1753 01:32:56,439 --> 01:32:59,479 Speaker 26: They're trying to figure out what exactly is this new 1754 01:32:59,479 --> 01:33:00,640 Speaker 26: world order gonna look like. 1755 01:33:01,160 --> 01:33:03,360 Speaker 23: No, I totally agree.
