WEBVTT - Mexico Tariff War Is On 0:00:00.440 --> 0:00:03.960 The tariff war with Mexico could in fact be on 0:00:04.240 --> 0:00:06.760 my friends, This is in addition to what Trump is 0:00:06.800 --> 0:00:09.079 trying with China. We will talk about whether this is 0:00:09.080 --> 0:00:12.560 the right policy move, could it help finally secure the border. 0:00:12.760 --> 0:00:15.239 Plus Bernie Sanders says that the Soviet Union was bad, 0:00:15.280 --> 0:00:17.080 but isn't that kind of new for him because didn't 0:00:17.079 --> 0:00:20.119 he go there. We've got that, plus Biden's plagiarism and 0:00:20.160 --> 0:00:22.240 a whole lot more coming up on The Buck Sexton Show. 0:00:22.800 --> 0:00:25.439 And we've been working with decades from Mexico to be 0:00:25.640 --> 0:00:28.680 equal partners to resolve this problem, and they've remained on 0:00:28.720 --> 0:00:31.360 the sidelines from day one. They only have about one 0:00:31.440 --> 0:00:33.920 hundred and fifty miles of chunk point of the border 0:00:34.040 --> 0:00:36.800 that they need to enforce, and we have two thousand. 0:00:37.040 --> 0:00:39.839 We need Mexico to do to do three things. We 0:00:39.920 --> 0:00:42.680 need them to do their interdiction along their border, We 0:00:42.760 --> 0:00:45.279 need them to attack and target the TCOs that are 0:00:45.280 --> 0:00:47.479 profiting from this, and we need them to be partners 0:00:47.560 --> 0:00:50.400 with respect of the side them process. I think that 0:00:50.520 --> 0:00:52.480 this pressure is going to bring them to the table 0:00:52.600 --> 0:00:54.720 and get them closer to doing what they should be doing. 0:00:55.560 --> 0:00:58.440 Welcome to the Buck Sexton Show. Everybody fight over the 0:00:58.480 --> 0:01:02.240 border is heating up. How much is for sure at 0:01:02.240 --> 0:01:05.760 this point? Do you have Republicans who are getting a 0:01:05.760 --> 0:01:09.200 little bit a little auntie, a little concerned about what 0:01:09.240 --> 0:01:16.320 the economic implications will be from this possible tariff and 0:01:16.440 --> 0:01:19.959 tariff escalation that will come. It starts next week five 0:01:19.959 --> 0:01:23.399 percent on all goods from Mexico into this country, driving 0:01:23.560 --> 0:01:28.640 hundreds of billions of dollars of goods overall, and that 0:01:28.680 --> 0:01:31.679 will only go up from there, right, it will be 0:01:31.720 --> 0:01:33.800 even more. This is a heck of a lot more. 0:01:34.440 --> 0:01:36.800 Three hundred and fifty billion dollars a year of Mexican 0:01:36.840 --> 0:01:40.199 imports is what we're dealing with here. So five percent 0:01:40.240 --> 0:01:42.200 and then ten percent and then fifteen percents a lot 0:01:42.200 --> 0:01:46.240 of money. And this is in addition to what Trump 0:01:46.280 --> 0:01:50.840 has already taken on with tariffs against China to try 0:01:50.880 --> 0:01:56.360 to force China to the table on ending its unfair 0:01:56.600 --> 0:02:00.760 predatory trading practices, intellectual property theft, all other things. And 0:02:00.800 --> 0:02:04.480 I do believe the President has largely on the substance, 0:02:04.640 --> 0:02:08.480 won that argument as to whether we should confront China 0:02:08.919 --> 0:02:10.840 before Trump came along. Oh no, we can't do that 0:02:10.919 --> 0:02:13.160 trade war. Oh it's terrible now and says, well, hold 0:02:13.200 --> 0:02:15.720 on a second, what have the Chinese really been doing? 0:02:16.080 --> 0:02:18.160 And what does the future look like if we don't 0:02:18.639 --> 0:02:22.120 take a different posture when it comes to China. But 0:02:22.280 --> 0:02:24.120 now he's looking at Mexico and it's like, all right, 0:02:24.120 --> 0:02:26.920 maybe we're the tariffs there too. I do have a 0:02:26.919 --> 0:02:31.640 little bit of a concern that tariffs now are the 0:02:31.720 --> 0:02:34.280 hammer and that Trump sees everything because he's got that 0:02:34.360 --> 0:02:37.560 hammer as a nail. But maybe this does work, and 0:02:37.560 --> 0:02:39.840 it certainly would work better if Republicans didn't at the 0:02:39.919 --> 0:02:44.640 first sign of any friction, of any political and economic 0:02:44.720 --> 0:02:49.400 cost suggest this is now the Senate Republicans who at 0:02:50.120 --> 0:02:56.160 a lot of chrony capitalist, quasi open borders donor class 0:02:56.240 --> 0:02:59.040 Republicans in the Senate, that's where you find a lot 0:02:59.080 --> 0:03:02.920 of them, and they get very concerned about this and 0:03:02.960 --> 0:03:07.239 what it would mean, what it would mean for their 0:03:07.360 --> 0:03:10.400 reelection prospects, I think, and also it would have a 0:03:10.400 --> 0:03:13.760 negative impact on some businesses, and there will be some 0:03:13.800 --> 0:03:15.600 economic pain that comes from this. I don't think there's 0:03:15.600 --> 0:03:20.480 any question about that. But there's another aspect of this 0:03:20.800 --> 0:03:23.600 that we have to think about, and that is what 0:03:23.840 --> 0:03:27.040 is acceptable right now? What is an acceptable future for 0:03:27.160 --> 0:03:30.080 us when it comes to the border. I mean you 0:03:30.120 --> 0:03:33.120 had Mark Morgan there to start off the segment here 0:03:33.760 --> 0:03:38.000 talking about how Mexico can do more than it is 0:03:38.080 --> 0:03:41.920 doing to help us out on this and should do more. 0:03:41.920 --> 0:03:43.880 He says, there needs to be interdiction along the more 0:03:43.920 --> 0:03:47.600 interdiction along the border, attack the criminal organizations, and be 0:03:47.680 --> 0:03:51.240 partners in the asylum process. How many months now have 0:03:51.320 --> 0:03:54.720 I been saying to you and Mexico needs to become 0:03:54.800 --> 0:03:59.040 a safe third country and we need an agreement with 0:03:59.080 --> 0:04:01.840 them to be a safe third country, meaning that anyone 0:04:01.840 --> 0:04:05.440 who wants to get asylum in this country would show 0:04:05.520 --> 0:04:10.480 up here, present themselves, but stay on the Mexican side 0:04:10.520 --> 0:04:16.279 of the US Mexico border and have their process adjudicated 0:04:16.640 --> 0:04:22.440 without them disappearing into the American interior, without the enormous 0:04:22.520 --> 0:04:27.560 magnet that exists right now for fraud, for lawbreaking, and 0:04:27.640 --> 0:04:31.640 for making a mockery of our immigration process by either 0:04:32.440 --> 0:04:35.359 presenting oneself as a family unit when that's not the case, 0:04:35.480 --> 0:04:38.000 or just knowing that as a family unit, if you 0:04:38.040 --> 0:04:39.880 come to the border, you're going to be released into 0:04:39.920 --> 0:04:44.400 the American interior, and then there will be no real effort, 0:04:44.440 --> 0:04:50.120 no real accountability to track you down afterwards. If this 0:04:50.200 --> 0:04:55.279 doesn't change, then our situation at the border will not change. 0:04:55.320 --> 0:05:00.359 It will only continue at one hundred thousand plus a 0:05:00.440 --> 0:05:03.960 month coming into this country, and we will not have 0:05:04.000 --> 0:05:09.839 a border that anybody could seriously consider secure. It's not 0:05:09.920 --> 0:05:11.560 secure right now. It's the worst that it has been 0:05:11.600 --> 0:05:15.200 in a very long time. Completely overwhelmed, is what you're hearing. 0:05:15.279 --> 0:05:18.200 I mean, that's the description from the border patrol has 0:05:18.240 --> 0:05:24.839 been for weeks. Arrests have surged to a seven year 0:05:25.200 --> 0:05:29.880 high while these talks with Mexico are going on. I'm sorry, 0:05:29.880 --> 0:05:34.880 but I have a tough time believing that we could 0:05:34.880 --> 0:05:38.440 be at a point where we're setting records right now, 0:05:38.480 --> 0:05:41.480 after all the attention to this issue has gotten and 0:05:43.000 --> 0:05:46.360 oh my gosh, more than one hundred and forty four thousand, 0:05:46.920 --> 0:05:48.960 two hundred migrants according to the the New York Times. Here 0:05:49.000 --> 0:05:52.280 we're taken into custody by Customs and Border Protection along 0:05:52.320 --> 0:05:56.440 the southwestern border in May. That is a thirty two 0:05:56.800 --> 0:06:03.080 percent increase, the highest monthly in seven years. Most crossed 0:06:03.120 --> 0:06:06.640 the border illegally. Ten percent arrived without the proper documents 0:06:06.640 --> 0:06:10.480 at ports of entry, so they are crossing. These are 0:06:10.520 --> 0:06:13.960 all illegal crossings, one hundred and forty four thousand illegal 0:06:14.000 --> 0:06:17.599 crossings that resulted in people to being taken into custody. 0:06:17.600 --> 0:06:22.760 I'm sorry, almost all of them were illegal crossings. And 0:06:22.800 --> 0:06:26.400 then you had about one in ten are in custody 0:06:26.400 --> 0:06:28.320 because they don't have the right documents when they showed 0:06:28.360 --> 0:06:32.720 up at a port of entry. So this problem is 0:06:32.760 --> 0:06:36.359 even worse than worse than people who have been trying 0:06:36.360 --> 0:06:39.760 to get the alarm alarm bells wrong. Realize, one hundred 0:06:39.800 --> 0:06:41.360 and forty four thousand, we're gonna be We're gonna be 0:06:41.400 --> 0:06:42.919 over well over a million for the year if this 0:06:43.000 --> 0:06:46.920 keeps up, one hundred and forty four thousand people showing up, 0:06:47.000 --> 0:06:48.680 not going through the normal And keep in mind, we 0:06:48.680 --> 0:06:51.520 already have through the legal immigration process a million people 0:06:51.520 --> 0:06:53.640 a year who are going to be brought into the 0:06:53.680 --> 0:06:57.200 American family. Personally, we have a million people a year 0:06:57.920 --> 0:07:01.080 who will be staying in this country forever. And that's legal, 0:07:01.120 --> 0:07:03.040 and that's fine. But I'm just saying, you know, there's 0:07:03.080 --> 0:07:07.039 a lot that our immigration system is already handling and 0:07:07.120 --> 0:07:10.240 dealing with that you're going to add on to it. Now, 0:07:10.280 --> 0:07:13.000 almost one hundred and fifty thousand people illegally crossing a 0:07:13.040 --> 0:07:16.800 month is just indicative of how completely out of control 0:07:16.840 --> 0:07:21.680 the situation is. Who can afford who can better afford 0:07:22.720 --> 0:07:25.240 in this trade dispute now that Trump is or this 0:07:25.240 --> 0:07:28.400 this fight over a possible tariff implementation, Who can better 0:07:28.440 --> 0:07:32.480 afford this price tag us for them? We have been 0:07:32.560 --> 0:07:35.680 led to believe, I think, and this is from the 0:07:36.360 --> 0:07:39.440 go along to get along swamp culture in DC. We 0:07:39.600 --> 0:07:41.760 were led to believe that when it comes to foreign relations, 0:07:42.160 --> 0:07:46.600 America should never it's bullying if we use leverage against 0:07:47.120 --> 0:07:49.760 a country that's not an oppositional country, or that's not 0:07:49.840 --> 0:07:51.760 North Korea or Russia or something, but you know, any 0:07:51.760 --> 0:07:54.840 other country we deal with, especially a neighbor like Mexico, 0:07:54.920 --> 0:07:56.960 it bullying if we say we're going to need you 0:07:57.000 --> 0:07:58.840 to do this or else to this. I say, this 0:07:58.920 --> 0:08:03.240 is negotiation. In any negotiation, there are good things you 0:08:03.280 --> 0:08:05.640 can offer, and there are things you can offer that 0:08:05.680 --> 0:08:07.680 aren't so good. You could say you do this, or 0:08:07.720 --> 0:08:09.840 I'll do that, or you do this, or I'll do 0:08:09.880 --> 0:08:11.240 this other thing that you don't want me to do. 0:08:12.400 --> 0:08:16.160 That's how this goes. We've been asking the Mexican government 0:08:16.160 --> 0:08:18.160 for a long time to help us more on this problem. 0:08:18.200 --> 0:08:21.360 We've been trying to get them to be more constructive partners, 0:08:22.280 --> 0:08:25.480 but they don't want to do that. Maybe they don't 0:08:25.480 --> 0:08:27.280 want to spend the resources, maybe they don't want to 0:08:27.280 --> 0:08:32.000 handle this. But the Mexican government can do a whole 0:08:32.040 --> 0:08:34.480 lot more. And we know this. Lindsey Graham I think 0:08:34.600 --> 0:08:38.480 is a spot on here when he says that they 0:08:38.520 --> 0:08:41.880 should become a third safe country. We should have that 0:08:41.920 --> 0:08:44.160 agreement in place, and the other things that we see 0:08:44.200 --> 0:08:45.839 going on with the buses and everything else, that all 0:08:45.840 --> 0:08:50.480 has to stop. Play clip nine. Ask Mexico to do 0:08:50.559 --> 0:08:53.120 two or three things that they're not doing that wouldn't 0:08:53.120 --> 0:08:56.160 matter help us. Make sure you apply for asylum in 0:08:56.200 --> 0:09:00.080 Mexico or Central America, not the United States. Stop giving 0:09:00.120 --> 0:09:02.880 them buses to get to our border. A few things 0:09:02.920 --> 0:09:05.000 you could do would help the problem. And if they'll 0:09:05.080 --> 0:09:07.679 do those few things, we won't do tariffs. But if 0:09:07.679 --> 0:09:10.120 they refuse to help us, what options do we have? 0:09:12.280 --> 0:09:15.640 Refuse to help us? What options do we have? There 0:09:15.640 --> 0:09:17.440 are things on the books I'll have you know if 0:09:17.520 --> 0:09:19.720 you if you really want to go deep in the 0:09:19.720 --> 0:09:23.920 weeds and immigration, there are things like any country that 0:09:23.960 --> 0:09:26.920 does not take back those that we are trying to deport. 0:09:27.120 --> 0:09:29.400 We can suspend all visas. This is currently on the 0:09:29.400 --> 0:09:32.200 books for immigration. We can suspend all visas from that country. 0:09:33.559 --> 0:09:37.240 I'm sure if the Trump administration did that with any 0:09:37.240 --> 0:09:39.640 of these Central American states, we'd be told that it's horrible. 0:09:39.760 --> 0:09:41.640 And look what they said when we cut off aid. 0:09:42.360 --> 0:09:45.360 We're not allowed to invoke and this is the liberal 0:09:45.400 --> 0:09:48.760 mentality on the immigration crisis. We are not allowed to 0:09:48.800 --> 0:09:53.560 invoke consequences. We're not allowed to cause consequences for anyone 0:09:53.800 --> 0:09:58.280 in this process. We cannot punish people that cross illegally. 0:09:59.040 --> 0:10:02.400 We cannot punish dates that will not stop those from 0:10:02.400 --> 0:10:07.840 crossing illegally Mexico. We cannot punish Central American countries that 0:10:07.880 --> 0:10:12.040 are allowing this outflow from their own territory into Mexico. 0:10:13.200 --> 0:10:15.960 It's no one's fault. No one is allowed to suffer 0:10:16.000 --> 0:10:19.120 anything as a result, suffer any consequences because of this. 0:10:19.200 --> 0:10:22.280 And if we as a sovereign nation, try to re 0:10:22.480 --> 0:10:25.280 establish our sovereignty in some meaningful sense, if we're trying 0:10:25.320 --> 0:10:27.959 to take any action that would deal with you, now 0:10:28.080 --> 0:10:30.560 going on one hundred and fifty thousand a month illegally 0:10:30.559 --> 0:10:34.280 crossing into the country. We're bad the we're the bad 0:10:34.320 --> 0:10:39.480 guys here. They're saying it. Oh, Trump, this tiff, this 0:10:39.640 --> 0:10:43.640 teriff issue is just showing how, you know, how he 0:10:44.440 --> 0:10:46.559 doesn't really understand the economics self. No, I think he 0:10:46.559 --> 0:10:49.520 does understand the economics involved. What does it cost the 0:10:49.600 --> 0:10:52.199 country right now to have this problem of illegal immigration. 0:10:53.080 --> 0:10:57.000 What is the cost in healthcare and schools, in the 0:10:57.320 --> 0:11:01.120 processing of all these people by the federal government, the 0:11:01.280 --> 0:11:04.959 court time, the lawyers that I'll be appointed in a 0:11:05.040 --> 0:11:09.520 Washington Post. Biggest story in the Washington Post front page 0:11:10.320 --> 0:11:17.120 is HHS canceling English classes and legal aid for unaccompanied 0:11:17.200 --> 0:11:22.280 child migrants in shelters. Let's understand what's happening here. Every 0:11:22.360 --> 0:11:27.400 unaccompanied migrant child that is currently in federal government custody 0:11:28.080 --> 0:11:32.920 was sent by adults who know that they are exploiting 0:11:32.960 --> 0:11:38.199 the system. So this is a direct response to what 0:11:38.240 --> 0:11:40.320 we have going right now, which is trying to do 0:11:40.360 --> 0:11:42.640 everything we can to make them as comfortable as possible 0:11:42.679 --> 0:11:48.160 and to release them to a sponsor family somewhere in 0:11:48.160 --> 0:11:50.920 the United States. But this is not this is not 0:11:50.960 --> 0:11:52.800 what's supposed to happen. You're not supposed to take your 0:11:52.840 --> 0:11:55.160 kid from some other country, send them to the US 0:11:55.240 --> 0:11:57.240 border and say okay, you take care of him now 0:11:57.600 --> 0:11:59.920 until we can find somewhere else for that person to go. 0:12:01.679 --> 0:12:05.840 There are budgetary constraints, and the budgetary constraints now are 0:12:05.840 --> 0:12:10.080 affecting some soccer programs that they've set up for unaccompanied migrants, 0:12:10.080 --> 0:12:13.679 for schooling programs. Look, I don't blame these kids. It's 0:12:13.679 --> 0:12:17.240 not about punishing the kids. But Congress needs to do 0:12:17.320 --> 0:12:20.600 more here to stop this from happen. The answer can't 0:12:20.640 --> 0:12:27.199 be yeah, we are running a giant education and entertainment 0:12:27.280 --> 0:12:30.280 facility for anyone who wants to send their child to America, 0:12:30.360 --> 0:12:32.960 not through the legitimate process, and to put them in 0:12:33.000 --> 0:12:36.280 the hands of coyotes, to put them in positions where 0:12:36.320 --> 0:12:40.000 they are enriching the cartels, and then again no one 0:12:40.040 --> 0:12:43.679 suffers any consequences. If you were a Central American who 0:12:43.720 --> 0:12:46.679 wanted to come to America right now, why not do it? 0:12:47.559 --> 0:12:49.520 Nothing bad is gonna I mean nothing bad is going 0:12:49.600 --> 0:12:51.880 to happen to you from the American government. Bad things 0:12:51.880 --> 0:12:54.800 gonna happen because of the coyotes and the transfer across 0:12:54.880 --> 0:12:59.679 cartel controlled territory. Are we allowed to do anything to 0:13:00.080 --> 0:13:01.840 Mexico to comply. I re allowed to do anything to 0:13:01.880 --> 0:13:04.679 get some of these other countries that are taking money 0:13:04.679 --> 0:13:09.680 from US. That's right, taxpayers sending them checks. I see here. 0:13:09.960 --> 0:13:12.439 Guatemala says it's working with the US to tighten its 0:13:12.480 --> 0:13:14.560 borders and try to break up these caravans. Well, it's 0:13:15.320 --> 0:13:19.679 it's about time. It's about time, and it maybe is 0:13:19.720 --> 0:13:22.080 only happening because they see that if we're willing to 0:13:23.280 --> 0:13:26.920 take steps against Mexico, that we'll have some economic consequences 0:13:26.920 --> 0:13:29.199 in political pain in this country too. Tariffs are not 0:13:29.240 --> 0:13:31.640 going to be pain free. But if we're willing to 0:13:31.679 --> 0:13:36.360 do that, then maybe we're going to do more about 0:13:36.400 --> 0:13:38.240 the Central American countries where a lot of these margarets 0:13:38.240 --> 0:13:40.800 are coming from. But this is as a major issue. 0:13:40.800 --> 0:13:42.839 We got more on this team and a whole lot 0:13:42.880 --> 0:13:45.400 more show to talk about, so stay with me. The 0:13:45.520 --> 0:13:49.440 news came that the President had this notion that he 0:13:49.559 --> 0:13:53.320 was going to treat Mexico as an enemy. This is 0:13:53.400 --> 0:13:56.000 dangerous territory. This is not a way to treat a friend. 0:13:56.280 --> 0:13:58.640 It's not a way to deal with immigration, it's not 0:13:58.679 --> 0:14:03.520 a way to deal the humanitarian needs at the border. Okay, 0:14:03.600 --> 0:14:08.320 Nancy Pelosi econ and trade expert Nancy Pelosi tonight at eleven, 0:14:09.360 --> 0:14:11.640 what is the way to deal with Mexico on this? 0:14:13.040 --> 0:14:15.040 What is the way to deal with the humanitarian crisis 0:14:15.040 --> 0:14:18.720 at the border. It's also an illegal immigration crisis. Notice 0:14:18.720 --> 0:14:21.800 that the Democrats always trying to control the language, always 0:14:21.840 --> 0:14:24.680 trying to control the way that we talk about this. 0:14:26.680 --> 0:14:29.640 What do they present? Oh, that's right, it's just humanitarian. 0:14:29.680 --> 0:14:33.160 Because then if you don't fund, you know, English as 0:14:33.200 --> 0:14:35.480 a second language classes for the migrant children, if you're 0:14:35.480 --> 0:14:39.360 not putting them in school, giving them taxpayer funded healthcare, 0:14:39.440 --> 0:14:42.920 and you know, recreational programs and movie showings and all 0:14:42.920 --> 0:14:47.080 these things, you're a terrible person. Meanwhile, we are this 0:14:47.160 --> 0:14:49.720 is a scam. We are being scammed. It is happening 0:14:49.760 --> 0:14:52.320 every day, and it's happening now to the tune of 0:14:52.440 --> 0:14:54.400 almost one hundred and fifty thousand a month. I just 0:14:54.440 --> 0:15:00.400 saw that number today. It's astonishing. And Pelos, she says 0:15:00.400 --> 0:15:04.240 that we're treating Mexico like an enemy. Why does Canada? 0:15:04.400 --> 0:15:07.640 Is Canada treating us like an enemy? Because there are 0:15:07.680 --> 0:15:11.680 some tariffs on the import of US goods into Canada, 0:15:11.720 --> 0:15:14.360 so they can protect some of their own industries. Is 0:15:14.400 --> 0:15:16.920 the EU treating us like an enemy because they have 0:15:17.000 --> 0:15:19.200 tariffs in place to protect some of their industries that 0:15:19.240 --> 0:15:22.960 they think are particularly necessary or sensitive for their own reasons. 0:15:23.560 --> 0:15:27.200 I would just I would like to know where the 0:15:27.280 --> 0:15:31.280 lines are drawn here to call it treating Mexico like 0:15:31.320 --> 0:15:34.040 the enemy. Look, I understand there's a difference. Then there 0:15:34.040 --> 0:15:36.760 should be a difference in how we approach dealing with 0:15:36.840 --> 0:15:39.280 China and how we approach dealing with Mexico on trade. 0:15:39.320 --> 0:15:43.000 But this isn't really that hard, is it. Are we 0:15:43.040 --> 0:15:47.320 asking for anything from the Mexican government that is impossible? 0:15:48.120 --> 0:15:49.920 Are we saying, well, if you don't stop all the 0:15:49.960 --> 0:15:52.640 flow of drugs into this country, which are now killing 0:15:52.640 --> 0:15:55.360 tens of thousands of Americans a year. But look, that's hard, 0:15:55.440 --> 0:16:00.240 that's hard. You know, the cartels are not comply ying 0:16:00.240 --> 0:16:02.680 with the Mexican government by their very definition. They're breaking 0:16:02.680 --> 0:16:05.480 the law. They're going around. Well there's I'm sure plenty 0:16:05.480 --> 0:16:10.080 of collusion with Mexican authorities, but that's another issue. But 0:16:10.200 --> 0:16:12.600 we're saying, is hey, when you have a crowd of 0:16:12.600 --> 0:16:16.680 a thousand Hondurans or Guatemalans who are all marching together 0:16:16.720 --> 0:16:18.680 across the country. Can you not provide them with food 0:16:18.680 --> 0:16:20.520 and shelter and buses and take them right to the 0:16:20.560 --> 0:16:25.239 border and then just say, well, this is your problem, America. 0:16:25.480 --> 0:16:29.560 Can you offer them safe haven in your country and 0:16:29.840 --> 0:16:31.480 play ball this a little bit more so that they're 0:16:31.520 --> 0:16:37.680 not walking into our country? Does that seem unreasonable? Is that? 0:16:37.760 --> 0:16:40.640 Is that an enemy state request? I can assure you 0:16:40.680 --> 0:16:42.680 that if we had one hundred and fifty thousand or 0:16:42.720 --> 0:16:46.520 so illegal crossings at our northern border with Canada, we 0:16:46.520 --> 0:16:51.000 would have some tough words for our Canadian brothers and sisters. 0:16:51.040 --> 0:16:53.600 You know, we would have to say, hey, can you 0:16:53.600 --> 0:16:55.720 guys get a handle on things. If you can't, we're 0:16:55.720 --> 0:16:57.760 gonna have to you know, there's gonna have to be 0:16:57.800 --> 0:17:01.080 some consequences year. But you know, but Pelosi, all the 0:17:01.120 --> 0:17:04.520 Democrats do on this issue is complain about Trump. They 0:17:04.640 --> 0:17:11.400 never have anything to offer that is constructive. They just 0:17:11.760 --> 0:17:15.600 want to sit back and use this as a means 0:17:15.880 --> 0:17:19.560 of bashing the administration, calling him racist, calling him xenophobic, 0:17:19.800 --> 0:17:22.080 and doing everything in their power in the meantime to 0:17:22.160 --> 0:17:27.520 obstruct any meaningful change about the current situation of the border, 0:17:27.520 --> 0:17:31.159 which is it is worse than it has been in 0:17:31.200 --> 0:17:34.680 the last twenty years. Right now, President Trump, who beat 0:17:34.720 --> 0:17:38.840 the Republican field largely by talking tough on immigration and 0:17:38.960 --> 0:17:42.359 making some big promises. The immigration situation at our border 0:17:42.440 --> 0:17:44.000 is worse than it has been in twenty years. What 0:17:45.280 --> 0:17:49.120 is Trump supposed to ignore this? Tariffs? One reason he's 0:17:49.119 --> 0:17:51.199 gone for tariffs is because it's an area where at 0:17:51.280 --> 0:17:54.879 least the Democrats. You don't think some judge from the 0:17:54.960 --> 0:17:56.600 Ninth Circuit is going to come along and say, oh, 0:17:56.600 --> 0:18:00.320 the President can institute tariffs or maybe a judge, well, 0:18:00.359 --> 0:18:02.480 just give it time, we'll be back. We have a 0:18:02.520 --> 0:18:06.200 border situation in the inner station. You have one over here. 0:18:06.560 --> 0:18:08.000 But I hear it's going to work out very well. 0:18:08.000 --> 0:18:09.520 I think it's both going to work out well. It's 0:18:09.520 --> 0:18:14.080 going to work out very well here. And again, both 0:18:14.119 --> 0:18:16.679 the military and the trade is such a big factor 0:18:16.720 --> 0:18:19.000 and we're going to be discussing that very much. So 0:18:19.320 --> 0:18:21.399 it's an honor to be in Ireland with my friend 0:18:21.440 --> 0:18:24.119 and he's doing a great job as your Prime minister. 0:18:25.480 --> 0:18:28.000 They want to avoid a courses, it's going to avoid 0:18:28.119 --> 0:18:30.240 our wall between No, I think you do. I think 0:18:30.280 --> 0:18:32.240 you do. The way it works now is good. You 0:18:32.240 --> 0:18:34.159 want to try and keep it that way. And I 0:18:34.240 --> 0:18:36.560 know that's a big point of contention with respect to 0:18:36.880 --> 0:18:40.040 Brexit as your border, and I'm sure it's going to 0:18:40.080 --> 0:18:44.840 work out. Well. That was an interesting exchange. That was 0:18:45.200 --> 0:18:52.399 Trump there talking to Leo Varadkar, who is the Prime 0:18:52.440 --> 0:19:00.239 Minister of Ireland. So oh sorry, President wait is the 0:19:00.280 --> 0:19:02.080 president of Prime Minister of Ireland. I gotta make sure 0:19:02.119 --> 0:19:04.280 I get this to get this right. It doesn't really 0:19:04.720 --> 0:19:08.080 I'll figure it out in the meantime. Um, but talking 0:19:08.080 --> 0:19:13.200 about the border wall, uh, you have sure enough the 0:19:13.200 --> 0:19:16.680 the Irish Premier. That's a good way to do one. 0:19:17.640 --> 0:19:20.560 You have the Irish Premier who's not liking the idea 0:19:20.680 --> 0:19:27.439 of a h of a wall between Britain and or 0:19:27.480 --> 0:19:30.200 between England and Ireland over over this whole Brexit issue. 0:19:31.480 --> 0:19:33.399 So here here's I just thought that was kind of 0:19:33.400 --> 0:19:37.199 a funny extent. Also strange that you wouldn't think that 0:19:37.720 --> 0:19:39.960 he's the PM. Thank you, producer, Mike. That's what I thought. 0:19:40.000 --> 0:19:42.280 Just making sure. It's tough to keep it all straight 0:19:42.320 --> 0:19:45.040 with all these European places. UH got you know, you 0:19:45.080 --> 0:19:49.920 get the President of France, Matron Missieur mac roll, and 0:19:50.080 --> 0:19:52.600 then you got the PM in the UK, the PM 0:19:52.600 --> 0:19:56.240 in Ireland, but now they don't want walls there. Ireland. 0:19:56.280 --> 0:19:58.159 You know, I've never been, which is interesting because it's 0:19:58.240 --> 0:19:59.680 kind of the mother country for me in a sense. 0:19:59.720 --> 0:20:03.000 I think I'm about half Irish and I've never been 0:20:03.040 --> 0:20:04.520 to it, so I gotta get I gotta work on that. 0:20:04.600 --> 0:20:06.639 I've been to China, I mean to Afghanistan. I've never 0:20:06.720 --> 0:20:09.439 been to Ireland, so I don't know how that's happened. 0:20:10.320 --> 0:20:11.880 But my friends who have spent a lot of time 0:20:11.880 --> 0:20:15.119 they're tell me that it is shockingly left wing and 0:20:15.200 --> 0:20:19.120 its politics, that it is even even for a European country. 0:20:19.440 --> 0:20:21.480 People have told me. I remember hearing a friend of 0:20:21.520 --> 0:20:24.560 mine who did a who studied in Ireland for years. 0:20:24.600 --> 0:20:29.000 He said that Ireland is the Cuba of Europe. That's 0:20:29.000 --> 0:20:32.320 a whoa. That is rough stuff. I don't know if 0:20:32.359 --> 0:20:34.040 that's true or not, but I wouldn't think of Leo 0:20:34.359 --> 0:20:37.280 Varadkar as a particularly Irish name. But obviously they've had 0:20:37.320 --> 0:20:40.400 a lot of immigration and folks and different backgrounds going 0:20:40.440 --> 0:20:43.359 to Ireland. All right, let's move on the board of 0:20:43.400 --> 0:20:46.160 situation with the tariffs. Let's see if it gets moving 0:20:46.200 --> 0:20:48.840 from Mexico. If you're asking me for a prediction right now, 0:20:49.400 --> 0:20:53.800 I would think I would think that the likeliest situation 0:20:53.920 --> 0:20:56.439 is that Mexico's gonna try to They don't want this 0:20:56.480 --> 0:20:58.159 to go to effect. We don't want this to go 0:20:58.200 --> 0:21:01.520 into effect. So good chance, in my mind that what 0:21:01.560 --> 0:21:05.000 happens here is the Mexican government says, okay, okay, we'll 0:21:05.000 --> 0:21:07.399 do some stuff, and it gives the Trump administration the 0:21:07.400 --> 0:21:09.720 cover to say, all right, since you're gonna work with us, 0:21:09.720 --> 0:21:13.120 we're gon we're gonna put this on hold. And wouldn't 0:21:13.119 --> 0:21:16.200 that be let's just establish this now so that when 0:21:16.200 --> 0:21:17.800 the media is trying to tell you that Trump is 0:21:17.880 --> 0:21:20.359 terrible and he's so bad and doesn't know anything and 0:21:20.400 --> 0:21:23.879 he's orange and his hair is weird, let's remember that 0:21:24.000 --> 0:21:28.760 if that happens, if Mexico promises and takes some additional 0:21:28.960 --> 0:21:33.360 steps as a result of this, it's a threat. I mean, 0:21:33.359 --> 0:21:35.760 it's an economic threat. But this threat of an implementation 0:21:35.840 --> 0:21:39.800 of a five percent tariff, wouldn't that be Trump making 0:21:39.840 --> 0:21:46.040 a deal? Wouldn't that be successful negotiation from the negotiator 0:21:46.080 --> 0:21:49.760 in chief here? I think the answer has to be yes, right. 0:21:49.800 --> 0:21:52.440 I think we have to see this as a win 0:21:52.600 --> 0:21:55.680 for Trump. So I say this now, maybe it doesn't happen, 0:21:55.720 --> 0:21:58.440 maybe the five percent tariff goes into effect. I say 0:21:58.480 --> 0:22:02.639 this now because Trump, you know, will get no credit 0:22:02.640 --> 0:22:06.439 from the media whatsoever. Even if Mexico blinks, Mexico backs 0:22:06.480 --> 0:22:09.719 down and says, you know what, we'll play ball on this. 0:22:09.760 --> 0:22:12.320 We'll stop some of this inflow into your country of 0:22:13.040 --> 0:22:17.120 illegals keep in money. You know, Mexico has sovereignty too. 0:22:17.680 --> 0:22:22.000 Mexican government, Mexican authorities can do things about people entering 0:22:22.160 --> 0:22:26.760 their country from another country. You know, if you just 0:22:26.920 --> 0:22:29.440 walked into Mexico without permission, guess what they would have 0:22:29.480 --> 0:22:34.399 a problem with that. But no surprise, they haven't taken 0:22:34.480 --> 0:22:36.919 a whole lot of action so far to help us 0:22:36.960 --> 0:22:39.800 in this process. But if Trump gets action out of them, 0:22:39.840 --> 0:22:42.919 just remember it's a win. And very few media outlets 0:22:42.960 --> 0:22:45.600 will tell you that because they're also invested in the 0:22:45.640 --> 0:22:49.960 destruction of this president. Speaking of the destruction of this president, 0:22:51.359 --> 0:22:54.240 you see what I did there, That's what we call smooth, 0:22:55.000 --> 0:22:57.920
