We want 43 00:01:56,480 --> 00:01:58,520 Speaker 1: to make it as easy as possible, but some people 44 00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:01,800 Speaker 1: have complained that they have a hard time. That is 45 00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:05,360 Speaker 1: maybe probably in all likelihood the reason why. Anyway, Word 46 00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:07,960 Speaker 1: of the Day Liberation.

I refuse to abide by 61 00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:43,240 Speaker 3: which I refuse. 62 00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:45,560 Speaker 2: You're not getting Tesla, see that, Yeah, to buy your own. 63 00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:46,200 Speaker 2: You can't win it. 64 00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:49,800 Speaker 1: That's I'm not eligible to win it. No, that would 65 00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:52,200 Speaker 1: mean and I have nothing to do with picking the winner. 66 00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:54,919 Speaker 1: I'm telling all my friends to sign up for it, though. 67 00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:56,880 Speaker 1: I'm like, yeah, me too, man, what do you mean? 68 00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:00,000 Speaker 1: And then I have friends that don't listen to the show. 69 00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:01,600 Speaker 1: They want to know the word of the day. I'm like, no, 70 00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:03,160 Speaker 1: listen to the show and you get the word of 71 00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:05,120 Speaker 1: the day. It's that simple. I give it up multiple 72 00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:09,360 Speaker 1: times during the show. Anyway, It'll be the first time 73 00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:13,480 Speaker 1: in decades. And this really is beginning to infuriate me. 74 00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:16,679 Speaker 1: And I want to explain why I'm getting infuriated by this. 75 00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:20,600 Speaker 1: We are supposed to be the land of the free 76 00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:24,960 Speaker 1: and the home of the brave. We are supposed to 77 00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:31,800 Speaker 1: be people that are brave and think out of the box. 78 00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:39,360 Speaker 1: And this is driving me nuts. America has been taken 79 00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:44,000 Speaker 1: advantage of by many of our closest allies, which I 80 00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:48,080 Speaker 1: will go into great detail and specificity, and we seem 81 00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:53,200 Speaker 1: like a bunch of gutless, spineless cowards because finally you 82 00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:56,680 Speaker 1: got a president that actually thinks out of the box. 83 00:03:57,120 --> 00:04:01,960 Speaker 1: He is not myopic, and he is demanding a very 84 00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:08,000 Speaker 1: simple principle be applied from allied countries other countries as well, 85 00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:13,119 Speaker 1: and that is free and fair trade. We have been abused, 86 00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:16,680 Speaker 1: we have been taken advantage of. We've become a sucker 87 00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:20,040 Speaker 1: nation in many, many respects when it comes to the 88 00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:23,760 Speaker 1: issue of tariffs, and no president has had the courage 89 00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:27,160 Speaker 1: until Donald Trump. And it's paying off big time. That's 90 00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:32,440 Speaker 1: another part of the equation that people refuse to even acknowledge, 91 00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:40,240 Speaker 1: and it's working on a dramatically The reaction, the response, 92 00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:43,560 Speaker 1: the amount of money invested is now over four trillion 93 00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:47,040 Speaker 1: dollars in committed monies to be invested in this country. 94 00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:52,200 Speaker 1: That will create high paying career jobs for Americans. Other countries, 95 00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:56,360 Speaker 1: and I will go into detail, they are now deciding 96 00:04:56,480 --> 00:05:01,640 Speaker 1: to reduce or eliminate their tariffs against our country as 97 00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:04,960 Speaker 1: as a result of Donald Trump's measures. That means we're 98 00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:07,200 Speaker 1: going to be saving money at a very high level 99 00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:10,160 Speaker 1: and Americans will have more job opportunities with higher pay 100 00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:13,120 Speaker 1: grades than they ever imagine. And that's good for the 101 00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:15,960 Speaker 1: American people on every level. But they but they may 102 00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:18,800 Speaker 1: get mad in everything, and I don't want them to 103 00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:22,239 Speaker 1: get mad at us. I mean, when have we become 104 00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:27,000 Speaker 1: so spineless? You know, other countries rip us off, and 105 00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:30,880 Speaker 1: you know, we're getting lectured by those countries ripping us off, 106 00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:34,600 Speaker 1: saying we're imposing tariffs on them and that they believe 107 00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:37,279 Speaker 1: in free trade, when in fact, they don't believe in 108 00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:39,720 Speaker 1: free trade, because there never was such a thing as 109 00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:43,720 Speaker 1: free trade. There have been there have been tariffs that 110 00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:49,880 Speaker 1: have been applied to American industry, American farmers, American agriculture 111 00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:54,279 Speaker 1: that have been going on for decades. But this institutionalized 112 00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:59,599 Speaker 1: thinking group think brainwashing even of the American people. Oh no, 113 00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:01,200 Speaker 1: we're gonna want to rock the boat. We don't want 114 00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:03,200 Speaker 1: to make the mat we don't want to get them upset. 115 00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:07,799 Speaker 1: It's about time we demand the respect that we deserve. 116 00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:12,160 Speaker 1: It's really that simple. Other countries have been ripping us 117 00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:15,839 Speaker 1: off left and right. I can start countries like India 118 00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:20,240 Speaker 1: charging one hundred percent on American imports on certain products 119 00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:26,000 Speaker 1: agricultural products. That hurts our farmers, motorcycles Harley Davidson. It 120 00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:32,520 Speaker 1: hurts our motorcycle manufacturers. Brazil eighteen percent on ethanol. Japan 121 00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:38,240 Speaker 1: a seven hundred percent tariff on American rice. Japan's supposed 122 00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:39,440 Speaker 1: to be an allied nation. 123 00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:40,760 Speaker 3: We'll go. 124 00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:46,120 Speaker 1: There's so many products that Canada's put tariffs on. The 125 00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:50,000 Speaker 1: European Union charges a ten percent tariff on all American 126 00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:55,520 Speaker 1: made cars, fifty percent tariff on American dairy products. They 127 00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:59,680 Speaker 1: tariff all American guns for example. I'm just sick in 128 00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:02,360 Speaker 1: time of it. You know, look at Germany, for example, 129 00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:04,120 Speaker 1: they have a ten percent tariff. Then they have a 130 00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:07,120 Speaker 1: twenty percent VAT tax. If you don't know what a 131 00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:10,400 Speaker 1: VAT tax is, it's a value added tax, it's a 132 00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:13,800 Speaker 1: it's a national sales tax in Germany. So that's like 133 00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:19,080 Speaker 1: a thirty percent increase in the cost of an American car. Well, 134 00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:22,440 Speaker 1: guess what they sell eight German cars in America for 135 00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:24,360 Speaker 1: everyone sold here in America. 136 00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:26,640 Speaker 3: We're getting ripped off. 137 00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:29,400 Speaker 1: And if you want to know whether or not the 138 00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:33,520 Speaker 1: threat of tariffs has been working, well, Israel has eliminated 139 00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:38,160 Speaker 1: any remaining tariffs on all US goods ahead of today's 140 00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:42,040 Speaker 1: announcement by President Trump. It's canceled. It's remaining tariffs on 141 00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:46,400 Speaker 1: imports from the United States. That's step one, you might recall. 142 00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:50,160 Speaker 1: In February, before Trump's tariffs were set to take effect, 143 00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:53,680 Speaker 1: Mexico agreed to deploy ten thousand troops in the US 144 00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:57,640 Speaker 1: at the US border the Mexican border to stem the 145 00:07:57,960 --> 00:08:01,160 Speaker 1: illegal immigration flow. As a matter of fact, there's news 146 00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:04,120 Speaker 1: on that front today and don't think it's it's an accident. 147 00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:08,920 Speaker 1: The Mexican President, Claudia Scheinbaum, said that her administration has 148 00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:13,840 Speaker 1: more names of top cartel operatives set for extradition to 149 00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:17,280 Speaker 1: the US as she steps up cooperation with the president 150 00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:21,720 Speaker 1: the European Union. Just because Donald Trump made the threat 151 00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:25,160 Speaker 1: that he's going to impose tariffs back on them as 152 00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:29,640 Speaker 1: proposed lowering their tariffs on car imports from ten percent 153 00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:33,240 Speaker 1: to two point five percent, which is the amount that 154 00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:36,520 Speaker 1: we charge them. I mean they're charging five times will 155 00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:40,800 Speaker 1: we charge the United Kingdom. Great Britain did not retaliate 156 00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:45,280 Speaker 1: against Donald Trump's metal tariffs. Instead, discussions began. In other words, 157 00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:50,440 Speaker 1: negotiations began regarding a potential reduction of the UK's digital 158 00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:53,600 Speaker 1: service tax. The Prime Minister has called for a more 159 00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:59,520 Speaker 1: pragmatic approach, opting not to retaliate against steel and aluminum tariffs, 160 00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:04,440 Speaker 1: and they're now negotiating a bilateral trade deal. India reduced 161 00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:08,080 Speaker 1: their tariffs in the lead up to today on motorcycles, 162 00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:12,640 Speaker 1: whiskey and are now proposing eliminating all tariffs so we 163 00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:16,560 Speaker 1: do have free and fair trade. And they're now negotiating 164 00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:20,000 Speaker 1: a trade agreement with the US that they're opening open 165 00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:24,160 Speaker 1: now to lowering or eliminating tariffs on most US, if 166 00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:28,040 Speaker 1: not all US imports. Columbia, remember they were threatened with 167 00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:31,440 Speaker 1: the twenty five percent tariff if they refuse to accept 168 00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:37,920 Speaker 1: flights for deported illegals. Well, Columbia agreed to accept deportees 169 00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:43,360 Speaker 1: on military aircraft.

Do 198 00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:28,800 Speaker 1: you think Johnson and Johnson just decided because Donald Trump 199 00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:31,200 Speaker 1: won for no reason at all, to commit to fifty 200 00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:35,600 Speaker 1: five billion over four years, or a shipping firm CMACGM 201 00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:40,880 Speaker 1: twenty billion, or that pharmaceutical manufacturers Eli, Lilly and Murk 202 00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:46,120 Speaker 1: have committed massive billions of dollars to be building manufacturing 203 00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:49,600 Speaker 1: facilities and increasing capacity here in the US. Do you 204 00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:53,240 Speaker 1: think it's an accident that Nissan and Honda, both that 205 00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:57,920 Speaker 1: were planning to build facilities in Mexico, decided to build 206 00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:00,800 Speaker 1: them in the US instead. Do you think maybe the 207 00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:05,199 Speaker 1: tariff threat of President Trump caused them to make that decision. 208 00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:11,040 Speaker 1: You know, Geo Aerospace one billion in US manufacturing their committee. 209 00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:14,920 Speaker 1: You talk about the number of high paying career jobs 210 00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:18,360 Speaker 1: just from this four trillion dollars that I'm laying out 211 00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:20,679 Speaker 1: for you that has been committed investments. It will take 212 00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:24,080 Speaker 1: a little time, is a build out period, but this 213 00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:26,680 Speaker 1: is money that's going to be in the economy in 214 00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:30,760 Speaker 1: very short order. And all these other countries, you know, 215 00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:33,400 Speaker 1: you know that that if they want to go in 216 00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:37,480 Speaker 1: the other direction, Little justin unveil one point three billion 217 00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:40,680 Speaker 1: dollar security plan for the US and the Canadian border. 218 00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:44,880 Speaker 1: Canada only has to really do three things. Eliminate tariffs 219 00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:48,480 Speaker 1: on American goods. Some for example, you can't you can't 220 00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:52,160 Speaker 1: sell American seeds in Canada. They put a limit on 221 00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:55,959 Speaker 1: on American dairy that hurts our dairy farmers. And after 222 00:12:56,559 --> 00:12:59,439 Speaker 1: they have tariffs at around ten percent. And if you 223 00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:02,640 Speaker 1: sell x percentage of goods or x amount of goods 224 00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:04,319 Speaker 1: in Canada and then it goes up to over two 225 00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:07,680 Speaker 1: hundred percent. This is insanity. Canada is acting like they're 226 00:13:07,679 --> 00:13:10,240 Speaker 1: supposed to be our friends. And they need to pay 227 00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:13,400 Speaker 1: their fair share with NATO. Then guess what it goes away. 228 00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:17,360 Speaker 1: All of these countries now have decided that it is 229 00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:22,840 Speaker 1: in their best interest to go along with President Trump's 230 00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:26,680 Speaker 1: demand for free and fair trade. Others will resist, and 231 00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:29,600 Speaker 1: if they resist, we're not going to go any further. 232 00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:31,679 Speaker 1: As a matter of fact, the President's committed to going 233 00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:35,200 Speaker 1: probably lower than what the tariffs they are putting on us. 234 00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:39,679 Speaker 1: But otherwise we are a sucker nation. We're a bunch 235 00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:43,040 Speaker 1: of idiots. We are paying for them, We're propping them up. 236 00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:47,880 Speaker 1: We pretty much, you know, pay for Canada's national security 237 00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:49,800 Speaker 1: because they know the United States is. 238 00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:54,080 Speaker 3: Not going to abandon them in their hour of need. 239 00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:57,160 Speaker 1: So they don't have to spend anywhere the amount of 240 00:13:57,200 --> 00:14:00,920 Speaker 1: money or percentage of GDP on national defense that we 241 00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:03,920 Speaker 1: spend in this country. And what's the thanks we get? 242 00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:10,480 Speaker 1: Our dairy farmers, our poultry producers, other industries. They get 243 00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:13,920 Speaker 1: screwed left, right and sideways. And you know what, now 244 00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:17,840 Speaker 1: that the President is reacting and he's gonna put major 245 00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:21,680 Speaker 1: tariffs on oil and other important imports, guess what it's 246 00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:25,000 Speaker 1: gonna get their attention and what ultimately is gonna happen 247 00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:27,960 Speaker 1: is We're probably gonna make a deal with these countries. 248 00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:30,720 Speaker 1: That's how this is gonna end, all right, before we 249 00:14:30,760 --> 00:14:35,000 Speaker 1: get back to the topic du jaw, which is reciprocal 250 00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:37,680 Speaker 1: tariffs and the need for it, and you know, the 251 00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:41,360 Speaker 1: weak Americans without spines, they might get mad at us 252 00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:45,200 Speaker 1: and everything, and why the history shows that tariffs are 253 00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:50,280 Speaker 1: not what these these idiots on TV, the punditry class 254 00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:54,040 Speaker 1: and Democrats are saying. I want to just a couple 255 00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:56,280 Speaker 1: of other things in the news that caught my attention today. 256 00:14:56,960 --> 00:15:02,360 Speaker 1: Charlemagne the God says Chuck Schuber and Hakeem Jeffrey should 257 00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:06,280 Speaker 1: be thrown out of office as the democratic circular firing 258 00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:07,280 Speaker 1: squad continues. 259 00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:08,080 Speaker 4: So who is. 260 00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:09,240 Speaker 3: Supposed to be the leaders? 261 00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:11,960 Speaker 4: Well, in Congress, you've got two people.

Ivan? 341 00:19:54,920 --> 00:19:55,160 Speaker 7: None? 342 00:19:55,280 --> 00:19:58,480 Speaker 6: Boy, it's just incredible, unbelievable. Well, you leave us no 343 00:19:58,600 --> 00:19:59,320 Speaker 6: choice listeners. 344 00:20:01,119 --> 00:20:05,719 Speaker 1: Then he called his mother because nobody called in, because 345 00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:10,240 Speaker 1: nobody was compelled to call in. Nobody had a comment. 346 00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:16,240 Speaker 1: Oh man, Uh, that's brutal. That is brutal. But it's 347 00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:19,119 Speaker 1: the greatest moment in the history of talk radio. All right, 348 00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:21,720 Speaker 1: let me get back to the topic, d JAW, which 349 00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:24,879 Speaker 1: is Liberation Day as President Trump calls it. We expect 350 00:20:24,960 --> 00:20:27,560 Speaker 1: him at the top of the hour to make his announcement. 351 00:20:28,359 --> 00:20:31,720 Speaker 1: And there's one thing, and I go back to Stephen 352 00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:34,080 Speaker 1: Moore here for a second, because Steven Moore has a 353 00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:37,600 Speaker 1: great column out. It's on foxnews dot com today, and 354 00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:40,879 Speaker 1: he points out that he is an economists. He's not 355 00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:44,840 Speaker 1: a stock market you know, prognosticator. That's not what he 356 00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:48,960 Speaker 1: does for a living. And he reminded people that despite 357 00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:52,200 Speaker 1: the higher tariffs that were imposed by Donald Trump in 358 00:20:52,280 --> 00:20:58,160 Speaker 1: his first term, which did cause a temporary stock sell off, which, 359 00:20:58,200 --> 00:21:01,960 Speaker 1: by the way, whenever you do anything new, different, out 360 00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:05,760 Speaker 1: of the ordinary, non institutional thinking, out of the box, 361 00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:09,840 Speaker 1: like Trump does, it markets are skittish to begin with, 362 00:21:10,280 --> 00:21:13,680 Speaker 1: so that's predictable. But he pointed out they were truly 363 00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:17,760 Speaker 1: those effects were truly transitory, and he points out the 364 00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:22,800 Speaker 1: history because the market then later surged month after month 365 00:21:22,840 --> 00:21:27,480 Speaker 1: after month, and stocks rows by roughly sixty percent in 366 00:21:27,560 --> 00:21:31,159 Speaker 1: Donald Trump's first year. Not too bad a return if 367 00:21:31,160 --> 00:21:32,800 Speaker 1: you have your money in the stock market. I don't 368 00:21:32,840 --> 00:21:34,560 Speaker 1: like the stock market. I don't care if I one, 369 00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:37,160 Speaker 1: I'm sixty percent. I'm not the big stock market guy. 370 00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:41,040 Speaker 1: And it's not the greatest indicator because they are so skittish. 371 00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:44,200 Speaker 1: And I think for a lot of us, the average 372 00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:47,119 Speaker 1: investor of the game is rigged unless you're in something 373 00:21:47,160 --> 00:21:51,280 Speaker 1: for the long term. And he said, here's why I 374 00:21:51,320 --> 00:21:54,960 Speaker 1: think history will repeat itself. Trump is the most pro 375 00:21:55,040 --> 00:21:59,080 Speaker 1: business president in forty years. His agenda, aside from tariffs, 376 00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:03,480 Speaker 1: is positive for the economy, is positive for investors, he 377 00:22:03,560 --> 00:22:06,840 Speaker 1: points out. The Wall Street Journal March twenty ninth, Trump 378 00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:11,119 Speaker 1: ushers in new high water mark for deregulation. The story 379 00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:14,520 Speaker 1: details a rollback of thirty one regulations in a single 380 00:22:14,600 --> 00:22:18,879 Speaker 1: day that will reduce costs and increase efficiencies of power plants, 381 00:22:18,920 --> 00:22:23,159 Speaker 1: the oil and gas industry, electric vehicles, wastewater. Now, the 382 00:22:23,160 --> 00:22:26,919 Speaker 1: President has also talked about his economic plan, and the 383 00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:31,000 Speaker 1: President has said that he is in support perhaps of 384 00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:35,159 Speaker 1: one hundred percent right off for people that build factories 385 00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:40,040 Speaker 1: and manufacturing centers right here in America, and that there 386 00:22:40,080 --> 00:22:44,560 Speaker 1: will be know that there'll be significant incentives for people 387 00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:47,880 Speaker 1: to buy American cars. Never Mind the up to one 388 00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:52,439 Speaker 1: trillion dollars in lower government costs because of Elon Musk 389 00:22:52,520 --> 00:22:56,240 Speaker 1: and Doge. Never mind the four trillion dollars that I 390 00:22:56,359 --> 00:22:58,720 Speaker 1: just went through in the last half hour and committed 391 00:22:58,760 --> 00:23:02,879 Speaker 1: investments as result of the threat of Donald Trump having 392 00:23:02,920 --> 00:23:06,840 Speaker 1: reciprocal tariffs. And then he points out, by some estimates 393 00:23:07,560 --> 00:23:10,639 Speaker 1: that the United States is sitting atop a treasure chest 394 00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:14,439 Speaker 1: of more than ten trillion dollars in critical oil, gas 395 00:23:14,520 --> 00:23:19,760 Speaker 1: mineral resources, mostly in the Western Mountain States. We've only 396 00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:23,520 Speaker 1: begun to tap into the great reserves which we have 397 00:23:23,800 --> 00:23:24,520 Speaker 1: in this country. 398 00:23:24,560 --> 00:23:25,800 Speaker 3: And his plan. 399 00:23:25,640 --> 00:23:30,440 Speaker 1: For economic growth is that serious. Now, I want to 400 00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:36,080 Speaker 1: take you back to twenty nineteen and Pap Buchanan. Pap 401 00:23:36,119 --> 00:23:39,639 Speaker 1: Buchan a smart guy, and he points out he wrote 402 00:23:40,800 --> 00:23:43,080 Speaker 1: this column that he wrote at the time as tariffs 403 00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:48,720 Speaker 1: the taxes that made America great because and this happens 404 00:23:48,800 --> 00:23:50,840 Speaker 1: every time this debate comes up. Let me give you 405 00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:53,960 Speaker 1: the history that he brings up in this column. That 406 00:23:54,040 --> 00:23:57,800 Speaker 1: the Smooth Hawy tariff caused the depression in the nineteen 407 00:23:57,920 --> 00:24:02,000 Speaker 1: thirties is a new deal myth in which America's school 408 00:24:02,080 --> 00:24:07,119 Speaker 1: children have been indoctrinated into four decades. The depression began 409 00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:10,119 Speaker 1: with the crash of the stock market, which happened in 410 00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:15,320 Speaker 1: nineteen twenty nine, nine months before Smoot Hawley ever became law. 411 00:24:15,560 --> 00:24:18,359 Speaker 1: And then he points out the real villain, the Federal Reserve. 412 00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:21,680 Speaker 1: And anyway, so he goes on to tell the story 413 00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:26,639 Speaker 1: about Larry Cudlow, and the story began National Economic Council 414 00:24:26,800 --> 00:24:30,679 Speaker 1: Director Lawrence Cudlow, and nowledge Sunday that American consumers end 415 00:24:30,760 --> 00:24:35,520 Speaker 1: up paying for the administration's tariffs on Chinese imports, contradicting 416 00:24:35,560 --> 00:24:38,639 Speaker 1: President Trump's repeated it I curate claim that China foots 417 00:24:38,680 --> 00:24:43,040 Speaker 1: the bill. And he goes on to say, make the 418 00:24:43,080 --> 00:24:47,280 Speaker 1: case that if you choose not to purchase Chinese goods 419 00:24:47,359 --> 00:24:51,720 Speaker 1: instead by comparable goods made in other nations or the USA, 420 00:24:52,040 --> 00:24:55,359 Speaker 1: then you won't pay the tariff. And this is where 421 00:24:55,400 --> 00:24:59,960 Speaker 1: America now will rebuild its industrial base, create high paying 422 00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:05,840 Speaker 1: career jobs with big manufacturing companies, chip manufacturing companies, auto 423 00:25:05,920 --> 00:25:10,920 Speaker 1: manufacturing companies, and other businesses. And tariffs, he points out. 424 00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:16,120 Speaker 1: He says that those taxes made America great. Those taxes 425 00:25:16,160 --> 00:25:18,720 Speaker 1: relied upon the first and greatest of our early statesmen 426 00:25:18,760 --> 00:25:22,960 Speaker 1: before the coming of the globalists, Woodrow Wilson, an FDR. 427 00:25:23,720 --> 00:25:28,120 Speaker 1: And he says, tariffs to protect manufacturers, to protect jobs, 428 00:25:28,600 --> 00:25:31,639 Speaker 1: to protect our business leaders, in other words, were the 429 00:25:31,720 --> 00:25:35,440 Speaker 1: Republican Party's path to power and prosperity in the nineteenth 430 00:25:35,440 --> 00:25:39,480 Speaker 1: to twentieth century, before the rise of the Rockefeller Eastern 431 00:25:39,560 --> 00:25:43,760 Speaker 1: liberal establishment and their embrace of the British Bred heresy 432 00:25:43,840 --> 00:25:48,000 Speaker 1: of unfettered free trade. Now President Trump is giving all 433 00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:51,160 Speaker 1: these other countries the option of free and fair trade. 434 00:25:51,560 --> 00:25:54,200 Speaker 1: He points out the Tariff Act of seventeen eighty nine 435 00:25:54,200 --> 00:25:57,600 Speaker 1: and acted with the declared purpose the encouragement of protection 436 00:25:57,680 --> 00:26:01,000 Speaker 1: of manufacturers. It was the second Act passed by the 437 00:26:01,040 --> 00:26:05,800 Speaker 1: First Congress, led by Speaker James Madison, crafted by Alexander Hamilton, 438 00:26:06,080 --> 00:26:09,720 Speaker 1: signed by President Washington. After the War of eighteen twelve, 439 00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:14,520 Speaker 1: President Madison, backed by Henry Clay and John Calhoun, and 440 00:26:14,600 --> 00:26:17,840 Speaker 1: ex President Jefferson and Adams enacted the Tariff of eighteen 441 00:26:17,960 --> 00:26:23,360 Speaker 1: sixteen to price British textiles out of competition, so Americans 442 00:26:23,359 --> 00:26:26,240 Speaker 1: would build the new factories and they would capture the 443 00:26:26,280 --> 00:26:31,120 Speaker 1: booming US market. Harris Finance President Lincoln's war. The Tariff 444 00:26:31,119 --> 00:26:34,439 Speaker 1: of eighteen ninety bears the name of Ohio Congressman future 445 00:26:34,480 --> 00:26:38,560 Speaker 1: President William McKinley, who set a foreign manufacturer has no 446 00:26:38,800 --> 00:26:42,320 Speaker 1: right or claim to a quality with our own. He 447 00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:46,639 Speaker 1: pays no taxes, he performs no civil duties. That is 448 00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:51,560 Speaker 1: the economic patriotism. That is what it means economically to 449 00:26:51,600 --> 00:26:53,280 Speaker 1: put America first. 450 00:26:54,080 --> 00:26:55,160 Speaker 3: And then he pointed. 451 00:26:54,880 --> 00:27:00,600 Speaker 1: Out that the Fortney McCumber tariffs gave President Warren Harding 452 00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:05,399 Speaker 1: and Calvin Coolidg's the revenue to offset the slashing of 453 00:27:05,440 --> 00:27:09,880 Speaker 1: Wilson's income taxes, igniting the most dynamic decades, the Roaring twenties, 454 00:27:10,760 --> 00:27:14,600 Speaker 1: that Smooth Hawley caused the depression in the nineteen thirties 455 00:27:14,920 --> 00:27:18,920 Speaker 1: is a new deal. Myth att have tariff as a tax, 456 00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:22,159 Speaker 1: but its purpose is not just to raise revenue, but 457 00:27:22,200 --> 00:27:25,520 Speaker 1: to make a nation economically independent of others. Now, if 458 00:27:25,520 --> 00:27:28,600 Speaker 1: you go a little deeper beyond what Pat Becannon laid 459 00:27:28,640 --> 00:27:32,440 Speaker 1: out in his history. And you look at what tariffs 460 00:27:32,720 --> 00:27:36,040 Speaker 1: have done historically and what it means, you know, and 461 00:27:36,080 --> 00:27:38,920 Speaker 1: you look at the epic times you'll find out auto 462 00:27:38,960 --> 00:27:41,920 Speaker 1: manufacturing in Canada, Germany, Japan, Mexico. 463 00:27:42,200 --> 00:27:44,679 Speaker 3: Are they going to be the hardest hit? Why should 464 00:27:44,720 --> 00:27:45,200 Speaker 3: we care? 465 00:27:45,840 --> 00:27:49,399 Speaker 1: If Americans are getting those jobs? According to an estimate 466 00:27:49,800 --> 00:27:54,040 Speaker 1: from the firm PwC, the measures could increase the Trump tariffs, 467 00:27:54,040 --> 00:27:57,240 Speaker 1: in other words, revenues from seventy six billion to almost 468 00:27:57,280 --> 00:28:00,680 Speaker 1: six hundred and ninety seven billion. The US has recorded 469 00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:05,000 Speaker 1: trade deficits every year since nineteen seventy six. Last year alone, 470 00:28:05,640 --> 00:28:09,720 Speaker 1: the US goods and services trade gap surpassed nine hundred 471 00:28:09,760 --> 00:28:13,000 Speaker 1: and eighteen billion of seventeen percent increase just from twenty 472 00:28:13,080 --> 00:28:17,440 Speaker 1: twenty three alone. And if you look at automobile manufacturing 473 00:28:17,480 --> 00:28:20,119 Speaker 1: in Canada, Germany, Japan, Mexico, they're going to be the 474 00:28:20,160 --> 00:28:23,880 Speaker 1: hardest hit. So what And if they want to put 475 00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:26,600 Speaker 1: more tariffs on us because they're mad at us, fine, 476 00:28:26,640 --> 00:28:27,920 Speaker 1: we'll put more tariffs on them. 477 00:28:28,200 --> 00:28:30,040 Speaker 3: The ball is going to be in their court, not 478 00:28:30,080 --> 00:28:30,840 Speaker 3: in our court.
