1 00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:05,640 Speaker 1: Welcome in Wednesday edition Clay Travis Buck Sexton show. This 2 00:00:05,680 --> 00:00:10,360 Speaker 1: one could be Buck becomes a dad today. He is 3 00:00:10,680 --> 00:00:15,280 Speaker 1: here with us on potential birthday. We'll see, could be tomorrow. 4 00:00:15,600 --> 00:00:19,360 Speaker 1: Do you have a faith Obviously the labor process plays 5 00:00:19,360 --> 00:00:24,319 Speaker 1: in here, but do you have a preference April ninth, 6 00:00:24,400 --> 00:00:28,360 Speaker 1: April tenth to carry? Is there any sort of cosmological 7 00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:29,800 Speaker 1: connection here in any way? 8 00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:30,960 Speaker 2: I have no idea. 9 00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:32,960 Speaker 3: I'm not to like that on this I barely remember 10 00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:35,360 Speaker 3: my own birthday, so I'm not the guy to ask 11 00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:40,280 Speaker 3: about birthday stuff. But yeah, anything in April sounds nice. 12 00:00:41,240 --> 00:00:44,159 Speaker 3: So this is a big day all around. We are 13 00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:48,680 Speaker 3: continuing the trade wars since we now are CNBC and 14 00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:53,600 Speaker 3: Fox Business all rolled into one stock market flat as 15 00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:58,720 Speaker 3: we begin the show today, basically unmoved by and large 16 00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:02,840 Speaker 3: across the financial landscape. The S and P five hundred 17 00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:05,840 Speaker 3: up a tiny amount as I speak to you, the 18 00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:07,720 Speaker 3: Dow down a tiny amount. 19 00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:09,800 Speaker 2: Not much movement going on there. 20 00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:13,200 Speaker 1: There is, however, a lot of movement going on in 21 00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:18,280 Speaker 1: what essentially is boiling down to the United States versus China. 22 00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:21,360 Speaker 1: I would expect Buck, and I'm curious if you co 23 00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:26,200 Speaker 1: sign on this that countries like Japan and South Korea 24 00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:30,360 Speaker 1: and Australia and England and even much of Europe are 25 00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:35,000 Speaker 1: going to get resolved the new trade deals relatively quickly 26 00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:37,920 Speaker 1: in the grand scheme of things, that is, over the 27 00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:41,720 Speaker 1: next few weeks. And I think those will be beneficial 28 00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:44,119 Speaker 1: to the United States. I don't think they'll be transformative. 29 00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:49,040 Speaker 1: The real battle here, as we stare down what's coming 30 00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:53,240 Speaker 1: is the United States versus China, and how does this 31 00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:56,560 Speaker 1: situation resolve itself and how long does it take to 32 00:01:56,680 --> 00:02:02,040 Speaker 1: resolve itself. As we elevated our overall tariffs on China 33 00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:06,680 Speaker 1: to over one hundred percent, China has responded by increasing 34 00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:09,680 Speaker 1: the tariffs on the United States I believe roughly to 35 00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:14,639 Speaker 1: eighty percent. Now, given the fact that China has much 36 00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:19,280 Speaker 1: more of an export based economy, particularly in relationship to 37 00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:23,040 Speaker 1: the United States, than the United States does in relationship 38 00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:27,880 Speaker 1: to China, the pain in general should be felt on 39 00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:31,239 Speaker 1: China more than it's felt on the United States. That's 40 00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:35,520 Speaker 1: the negotiating leverage that Trump is that Trump is banking on. 41 00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:38,120 Speaker 1: If there are brilliant people out there who want to 42 00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:41,760 Speaker 1: disagree with that, you're welcome to call in eight hundred 43 00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:44,760 Speaker 1: two A two two eight A two. But China is 44 00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:49,240 Speaker 1: to a large extent and export focused economy, and they 45 00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:52,960 Speaker 1: have built a huge trade surplus against the United States. 46 00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:56,720 Speaker 1: Now there are certainly complicating factors in that. I believe 47 00:02:56,800 --> 00:03:02,160 Speaker 1: China has something like five trillion dollars in United States bonds, 48 00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:07,440 Speaker 1: which is it's probably trump card on some level, pardon 49 00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:10,920 Speaker 1: the pun from them. What would happen if they start 50 00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:15,880 Speaker 1: to liquidate a substantial amount of their treasury some suggesting 51 00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:19,680 Speaker 1: that's already potentially occurring, and that might be what's impacting 52 00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:23,040 Speaker 1: the bond market in general. Again, these are high level 53 00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:27,040 Speaker 1: discussions of exactly what is going to be done, but 54 00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:30,959 Speaker 1: so far China and the United States staring at each 55 00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:33,640 Speaker 1: other not blinking. Would you co sign on most of 56 00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:38,280 Speaker 1: that analysis? Do you think I'm missing anything from your perspective, Buck. 57 00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:43,440 Speaker 3: No, I think that this is ultimately actually about a 58 00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:46,880 Speaker 3: China trade wark. That's really what the which if you 59 00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:48,680 Speaker 3: think about it in that context. It also makes a 60 00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:50,720 Speaker 3: lot of sense when you look back to the first 61 00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:53,560 Speaker 3: Trump term, and this I think would have been the 62 00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:57,520 Speaker 3: phase that he entered in twenty twenty had things gone differently. 63 00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:00,280 Speaker 3: I think this was always in his mind and the 64 00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:02,720 Speaker 3: first phase was just waking people up to what China 65 00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:08,440 Speaker 3: was doing, which is truly the greatest theft over decades, 66 00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:11,840 Speaker 3: not just of wealth but of intellectual property, which obviously 67 00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:15,640 Speaker 3: is wealth in the modern economy, and all kinds of 68 00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:20,839 Speaker 3: bad faith efforts and undermining a lot of US hegemony 69 00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:23,440 Speaker 3: wherever they can. So Trump has said enough is enough 70 00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:25,440 Speaker 3: as it pertains to China. I do think we'll get 71 00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:28,919 Speaker 3: deals with the other countries in place. And you know 72 00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:32,640 Speaker 3: Apollo Global Management's CEO for those who don't know Apollo 73 00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:36,960 Speaker 3: Global Management is it's a big time finance outfit. I 74 00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:40,240 Speaker 3: think they're private equity guys. So you know, they buy 75 00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:43,279 Speaker 3: huge companies, they turn them around, they sell them stuff 76 00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:46,160 Speaker 3: like that. But here is the CEO of that company, 77 00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:49,320 Speaker 3: who is I think saying something again. This is somebody 78 00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:52,760 Speaker 3: who manages billions and billions of dollars and has to 79 00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:55,720 Speaker 3: be right or else he loses his job, and he's 80 00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:58,159 Speaker 3: coming out and saying we need a reset. 81 00:04:58,200 --> 00:04:58,840 Speaker 2: This is cut two. 82 00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:02,960 Speaker 4: This is the second freest trading market in the world 83 00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:06,120 Speaker 4: financially after Japan, and is the freest trading market in 84 00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:10,240 Speaker 4: the world considering non tariff barriers. Why is that written 85 00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:13,680 Speaker 4: in Stuck. Why shouldn't we be the tenth or the twentieth. 86 00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:16,360 Speaker 4: The policies that have been in place since the end 87 00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:18,200 Speaker 4: of World War Two are not fit for today. 88 00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:22,560 Speaker 1: I think that's well said, And Buck, I've got a 89 00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:24,800 Speaker 1: couple of more here that I thought were well said 90 00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:27,599 Speaker 1: that I sent into our producer, Greg because I thought 91 00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:30,000 Speaker 1: some of you out there, I understand this is complicated, 92 00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:32,719 Speaker 1: and probably a lot of you don't sit around on 93 00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:36,120 Speaker 1: a regular basis thinking about, say, tariffs, like you might 94 00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:41,280 Speaker 1: think about taxes, or economic growth or any other number 95 00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:44,080 Speaker 1: of issues that have been well discussed and debated for 96 00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:48,120 Speaker 1: decades in the United States. Here's Victor Davis Hansen asking 97 00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:50,640 Speaker 1: a question I thought, Buck, that we have asked, if 98 00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:54,400 Speaker 1: tariffs are so awful, how come so many countries have 99 00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:57,839 Speaker 1: tariffs in the first place? Why do these exist? I 100 00:05:57,839 --> 00:06:01,159 Speaker 1: thought this was well said by him. This is cut three. 101 00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:06,520 Speaker 5: China has prohibitive tariffs, So does Vietnam, so does Mexico, 102 00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:10,839 Speaker 5: so does Europe, so do a lot of countries. So 103 00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:15,760 Speaker 5: does India. But if tariffs are so destructive of their economies, 104 00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:19,799 Speaker 5: why is China booming? How did India become an economic 105 00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:24,280 Speaker 5: powerhouse when it has these exorbitant teriffs on American imports. 106 00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:28,600 Speaker 5: How did Vietnam, of all places, become such a different 107 00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:31,880 Speaker 5: country even though it has these prohibitive tariffs. Why isn't 108 00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:36,040 Speaker 5: Germany before its energy problems. Why wasn't it a wreck? 109 00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:39,440 Speaker 5: It's got tariffs on almost everything that we send them. 110 00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:44,000 Speaker 5: How is the EU even functioning with these tariffs? I 111 00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:47,320 Speaker 5: thought tariffs destroyed an economy, but they seem to like them, 112 00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:52,040 Speaker 5: and they're angry that they're no longer asymmetrical. Apparently, are 113 00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:57,000 Speaker 5: people who are teriffing us think tariffs improve their economy? 114 00:06:57,680 --> 00:06:59,760 Speaker 3: I thought that's all said, Well, this is what we've 115 00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:01,440 Speaker 3: been saying, and we never get I never hear an 116 00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:04,760 Speaker 3: answer to this. People just say tariffs are attacks, Tariffs 117 00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:07,400 Speaker 3: are born by the consumers, Tariffs are bad, Tariffs led 118 00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:09,440 Speaker 3: the Great Depression. They shout all this stuff, and I say, 119 00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:12,440 Speaker 3: why does every other country have tariffs? Yeah, we're the 120 00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:15,800 Speaker 3: only ones. And when it comes to being outliers, you know, 121 00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:17,760 Speaker 3: we're also the country that's supposed to pay the rest 122 00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:20,400 Speaker 3: of the world's bills. We're also the country that's supposed 123 00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:23,000 Speaker 3: to be the rest of the world's policemen and the 124 00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:26,920 Speaker 3: world's giant, world's biggest refugee camp with a wide open border. Right, 125 00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:29,560 Speaker 3: there are a number of areas in which the United 126 00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:33,280 Speaker 3: States is expected to bear a burden that other countries 127 00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:35,160 Speaker 3: are not. Well, are we bearing the burden of being 128 00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:37,560 Speaker 3: the only free trade country in the world. I totally 129 00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:41,040 Speaker 3: agree when Elon says we should get to zero tariffs 130 00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:43,440 Speaker 3: across the board. Yes, that is the goal. That would 131 00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:46,600 Speaker 3: be fantastic. It would be so much better. It's a 132 00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:48,560 Speaker 3: bit like saying, you know, wouldn't it be nice if 133 00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:52,480 Speaker 3: we could get rid of nuclear weapons. Sure, when everybody 134 00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:54,880 Speaker 3: else that we're worried about gets rid of their nuclear weapons, 135 00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:57,520 Speaker 3: we can get rid of nuclear weapons too, right, Why 136 00:07:57,520 --> 00:07:58,400 Speaker 3: would they keep them? 137 00:07:58,400 --> 00:07:59,240 Speaker 2: But we get rid of them. 138 00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:01,840 Speaker 3: That's what we've been doing, essentially in an economic front 139 00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:04,880 Speaker 3: with tariffs, and I still have not heard any the 140 00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:08,000 Speaker 3: answers you might hear about this clay or something like, oh, 141 00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:10,440 Speaker 3: the French want to protect their wine and their cheese 142 00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:13,440 Speaker 3: or something, you know, that's very dismissive of it. But well, no, no, 143 00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:16,840 Speaker 3: it's this is on American automobiles. This is on a lot. Yeah, 144 00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:19,280 Speaker 3: this is on you know, we're talking about the EU now, 145 00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:21,760 Speaker 3: and people are saying, all right, well, Canada, I saw this. 146 00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:24,400 Speaker 3: I'm saying, Canada's dairy tariff don't actually go into effect 147 00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:26,920 Speaker 3: if you hit us until you hit a certain level. 148 00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:28,360 Speaker 2: Well, why have them at all? 149 00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:31,080 Speaker 3: If free trade is so good, why have them at all? Right, Well, 150 00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:33,439 Speaker 3: at some level it must be because you're protecting your 151 00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:36,840 Speaker 3: own industry, because you recognize that wealth generation comes from 152 00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:41,559 Speaker 3: the exchange and the creation and exchange of goods and services. 153 00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:44,760 Speaker 3: It's not just we keep printing money to buy stuff 154 00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:45,679 Speaker 3: from everybody else. 155 00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:47,320 Speaker 2: There's a lot of that going on here. 156 00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:50,360 Speaker 1: Also, where the companies are base matters. I mean, I 157 00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:52,840 Speaker 1: would bet that the reason the Chinese dairy industry is 158 00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:55,760 Speaker 1: I mean, sorry, the Canadian dairy industry is protected, is 159 00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:59,880 Speaker 1: because they don't want America to be sourcing every element 160 00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:04,600 Speaker 1: of the dairy there, right, And so where the companies 161 00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:09,840 Speaker 1: are based is foundationally very important. Really, this is going 162 00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:12,440 Speaker 1: to boil down to the extent that it has not 163 00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:16,880 Speaker 1: already into US versus China. And I've heard some people 164 00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:20,120 Speaker 1: out there say that their criticism is actually that we 165 00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:24,160 Speaker 1: should just go full bore after China and not focus 166 00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:27,839 Speaker 1: on other countries as much. This is let's get try 167 00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:30,040 Speaker 1: to get mister Wonderful on. I think we had him 168 00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:32,360 Speaker 1: on recently, meaning in the last year or so, if 169 00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:35,600 Speaker 1: I'm not mistaken, but this was on CNN. I thought 170 00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:38,679 Speaker 1: this was really well said. He said we should put 171 00:09:38,679 --> 00:09:42,160 Speaker 1: a four hundred percent tariff on China because they're cheaters 172 00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:44,319 Speaker 1: on the global marketplace. 173 00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:45,080 Speaker 2: Listen to cut for. 174 00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:48,480 Speaker 6: One hundred and four percent tariffs and China are not enough. 175 00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:52,760 Speaker 6: I'm advocating four hundred percent. I do business in China. 176 00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:54,040 Speaker 2: They don't play by the rules. 177 00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:56,680 Speaker 6: They've been in the WHO for decades. They have never 178 00:09:56,720 --> 00:09:58,800 Speaker 6: abided by any of the rules they agreed to when 179 00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:01,920 Speaker 6: they came in for deca. They cheat, they steal, they 180 00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:05,440 Speaker 6: steal ip I can't litigate in their courts, never has 181 00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:09,200 Speaker 6: an administry and four or I want like Chia on 182 00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:13,840 Speaker 6: an airplane to Washington to level the playing field. It says, 183 00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:18,160 Speaker 6: not about tariffs anymore, it's time to squeeze Chinese heads 184 00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:19,000 Speaker 6: into the wall. 185 00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:25,360 Speaker 1: Now, man, that is aggressive buck, But I do think 186 00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:29,960 Speaker 1: he's saying what a lot of American businessmen believe but 187 00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:32,920 Speaker 1: aren't willing to say because they work with China. I 188 00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:36,199 Speaker 1: was actually a little bit surprised because I can't imagine 189 00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:38,360 Speaker 1: that the business he does with China is going to 190 00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:40,760 Speaker 1: be helped by those comments. But this is what you 191 00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:43,240 Speaker 1: have to do. Sometimes you have to speak out against 192 00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:46,640 Speaker 1: your own interests because you recognize the larger interest is important. 193 00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:49,720 Speaker 3: Well, I wonder how much business he's really doing in 194 00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:51,840 Speaker 3: China currently. That's point one on that. In point two, 195 00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:55,960 Speaker 3: mister wonderful Kevin O'Leary likes to get sound bites that 196 00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:59,120 Speaker 3: make their way across the Internet ecosystem and other shows 197 00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:01,520 Speaker 3: like this one. In a four hundred percent tariff, you know, 198 00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:06,160 Speaker 3: at some point if we push too hard on China, 199 00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:08,400 Speaker 3: I know you could say it's a negotiation tactic book. 200 00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:10,680 Speaker 3: We don't want to see them completely insane, right, because 201 00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:13,520 Speaker 3: they're What we want is for them to improve their behavior. 202 00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:16,680 Speaker 3: We don't actually just want to extend a single finger 203 00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:19,680 Speaker 3: in their direction and say that's the way it's going 204 00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:21,920 Speaker 3: to be going forward. Right, we would like to see China. 205 00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:26,040 Speaker 3: In fact, China's entrance into the WTO was premised on 206 00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:27,200 Speaker 3: them changing their behavior. 207 00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:27,520 Speaker 2: Right. 208 00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:31,559 Speaker 3: This is the which it's not hold. This is well said. Continue, 209 00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:34,360 Speaker 3: it's not that we want to be in a trade war. 210 00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:36,600 Speaker 3: You know, this is what China has decided to do. 211 00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:40,200 Speaker 3: China has and you'll get the Belton Road initiative. It's 212 00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:46,080 Speaker 3: it's like a mix of communism, authoritarianism, mercantilism. China has 213 00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:49,719 Speaker 3: been rapacious when it comes to trade globally and has 214 00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:52,200 Speaker 3: not become any more liberal as it has become a 215 00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:55,079 Speaker 3: whole lot more wealthy. China is a was a desperately 216 00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:59,400 Speaker 3: poor country really up until the nineteen eighties. And people 217 00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:01,200 Speaker 3: forget them that the biggest famine in the history of 218 00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:04,160 Speaker 3: the world occurred in China right around nineteen. 219 00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:06,240 Speaker 2: Sixty in world history. 220 00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:09,400 Speaker 3: Okay, tens of millions of people starve to death in 221 00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:11,600 Speaker 3: that country. I think people now we all think of 222 00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:14,480 Speaker 3: China as a billion people and a huge economy and 223 00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:18,160 Speaker 3: robotics and Ai clay. China has done this in the 224 00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:19,200 Speaker 3: last forty years. 225 00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:22,960 Speaker 1: What I think is important about what you said is 226 00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:26,680 Speaker 1: because I've heard this argument for sports for a long time. Well, 227 00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:29,760 Speaker 1: if we go take our basketball to China, if we 228 00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:32,840 Speaker 1: take the Olympics to China, they're going to start to 229 00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:36,760 Speaker 1: play by our rules. We will see them democratize, we 230 00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:41,320 Speaker 1: will see them join more the Western world. Actually, that 231 00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:45,400 Speaker 1: hasn't happened at all. In fact, they've tried to impact 232 00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:48,520 Speaker 1: the Western world with Chinese values, and I think you 233 00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:50,040 Speaker 1: can see this in a big way. We talked about 234 00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:52,360 Speaker 1: this before, but I think it's very important. You know how, 235 00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:56,400 Speaker 1: there's no bad Asian guys in movies anymore. Every bad 236 00:12:56,480 --> 00:12:59,720 Speaker 1: think about this, like every James Bond movie, every mission 237 00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:03,120 Speaker 1: and possible, the bad guys are always people with kind 238 00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:04,720 Speaker 1: of a Russian Ish accent. 239 00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:06,319 Speaker 2: And if you go back and. 240 00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:09,240 Speaker 1: You study it, do you remember when they remade the 241 00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:15,080 Speaker 1: great movie Red Red Dawn. Yeah, of course they remade 242 00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:19,640 Speaker 1: the entire movie because initially China invaded Us, and then 243 00:13:19,679 --> 00:13:22,120 Speaker 1: in order to get the movie released in the time, 244 00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:24,120 Speaker 1: they had to go back in. This is crazy, but 245 00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:28,320 Speaker 1: they did this. They digitally altered the entire Chinese army 246 00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:32,280 Speaker 1: to make it North Korea that invaded the United States 247 00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:35,480 Speaker 1: because Warner Brothers, I believe, who was distributing the film 248 00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:39,520 Speaker 1: or Paramount, was too afraid of angering China by having 249 00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:41,920 Speaker 1: China be the bad guys in a movie. And one 250 00:13:41,920 --> 00:13:44,000 Speaker 1: of the threats they just made buck is We're not 251 00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:46,440 Speaker 1: gonna let American movies come into China anymore. 252 00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:48,840 Speaker 2: It's clay. 253 00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:51,520 Speaker 3: The theft of intellectual property that's been going on for decades. 254 00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:53,640 Speaker 3: It's worse than what the KGB was able to do 255 00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:56,160 Speaker 3: during the height of the Cold War, because at least 256 00:13:56,600 --> 00:13:58,920 Speaker 3: we have cyber attacks going on all the time based 257 00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:02,720 Speaker 3: in China stealing our most sensitive technology. We have, our 258 00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:06,199 Speaker 3: universities are penetrated by Chinese agents all over the place. 259 00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:09,160 Speaker 3: Everybody knows this, the FBI knows this. But there's all 260 00:14:09,160 --> 00:14:15,360 Speaker 3: this sensitivity around actually treating a particular nationality as a 261 00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:19,160 Speaker 3: wellspring of adversaries, which unfortunately is the case with China currently, 262 00:14:20,040 --> 00:14:23,360 Speaker 3: and some people have just decided in our government that 263 00:14:23,520 --> 00:14:26,240 Speaker 3: enough is enough, that this is not the way it 264 00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:28,440 Speaker 3: is supposed to or it should continue on. 265 00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:32,160 Speaker 2: So this is where the friction is. Right. 266 00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:34,440 Speaker 3: This is not going to be easy or perfect. It's 267 00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:37,320 Speaker 3: only been a few days. I think people need to 268 00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:40,120 Speaker 3: strap in. This is not going to get easier anytime soon. 269 00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:42,400 Speaker 3: I don't see Trump backing off the China part of it. 270 00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:45,840 Speaker 3: I do hope that as the deals with Japan and 271 00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:49,840 Speaker 3: South Korea and the EU get ironed out and there's 272 00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:54,560 Speaker 3: a normalization there, everyone realizes, Okay, now we really have 273 00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:57,440 Speaker 3: to focus on the big challenge, and there'll be a 274 00:14:57,520 --> 00:15:01,520 Speaker 3: clarity about what that really is. But once again, Trump, 275 00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:04,520 Speaker 3: even if he's a little sometimes rough on the execution 276 00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:07,720 Speaker 3: in the early stages of something, on the big issues, 277 00:15:07,760 --> 00:15:11,080 Speaker 3: on the big think, he tends to nail it all right. Look, 278 00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:13,800 Speaker 3: for every gun owner in this audience today, I gotta 279 00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:16,480 Speaker 3: tell you should make yourself a member of the United 280 00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:20,480 Speaker 3: States Concealed Carry Association.

If this works, it's incredible. If 319 00:17:22,680 --> 00:17:26,880 Speaker 3: it sort of works, okay, fine, If it fails, it's 320 00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:30,080 Speaker 3: going to cause problems for the administration on other issues 321 00:17:30,680 --> 00:17:32,879 Speaker 3: because of the I think loss of political capital.

That's 384 00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:26,280 Speaker 1: like saying, you know, I went for a walk so 385 00:20:26,359 --> 00:20:29,600 Speaker 1: I could prepare for the hundred mile Ultra marathon, right, 386 00:20:29,720 --> 00:20:34,679 Speaker 1: Like you're really not getting like, yes, there is elements 387 00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:38,160 Speaker 1: of having a dog that teach you some measure of responsibility. 388 00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:42,240 Speaker 1: But dogs are pretty self functional and babies are not 389 00:20:42,480 --> 00:20:47,200 Speaker 1: for a while, so the uh, the process is very 390 00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:47,840 Speaker 1: much different. 391 00:20:48,320 --> 00:20:51,240 Speaker 3: We have to keep ginger as much as my beautiful 392 00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:53,720 Speaker 3: wife has to groom her all the time. Our Australian 393 00:20:53,800 --> 00:20:57,159 Speaker 3: labordoodle is very fluffy and very pretty. We have to 394 00:20:57,240 --> 00:21:00,520 Speaker 3: keep her from finding like raccoon or cato in the 395 00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:03,439 Speaker 3: park and rolling around in it. So I recognize there 396 00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:06,440 Speaker 3: are different challenges when you have a dog versus when 397 00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:08,800 Speaker 3: you have a child. So that's something else that we 398 00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:10,840 Speaker 3: have to I have no idea why she does that, 399 00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:13,960 Speaker 3: by the way, Otherwise we think I think she's very smart, 400 00:21:14,040 --> 00:21:16,399 Speaker 3: like she's the dog is very emotionally in tune with 401 00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:18,879 Speaker 3: a lot of things going on. But then she's like, 402 00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:21,320 Speaker 3: oh mud, let me just roll around in mud and 403 00:21:21,320 --> 00:21:22,360 Speaker 3: be filthy and smelly. 404 00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:26,879 Speaker 2: So you know who knows? No, it is it is. 405 00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:29,120 Speaker 1: It is gonna be fun and it's gonna be interesting 406 00:21:29,160 --> 00:21:32,400 Speaker 1: for you and Carrie and you're gonna be ecstatic. And 407 00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:35,399 Speaker 1: but again, I just don't think for anybody out there 408 00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:37,600 Speaker 1: who's had that first child, I just don't think you 409 00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:39,720 Speaker 1: can really prepare now when you have second, or third 410 00:21:39,800 --> 00:21:42,120 Speaker 1: or fourth, Like you've been through it, you know exactly 411 00:21:42,160 --> 00:21:46,120 Speaker 1: what to kind of expect. But uh, but I think 412 00:21:46,160 --> 00:21:48,720 Speaker 1: it's gonna be first of all, you don't really know 413 00:21:48,800 --> 00:21:51,120 Speaker 1: you're getting.

Also, 446 00:23:16,359 --> 00:23:19,040 Speaker 1: I think you will find it even funnier on the 447 00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:23,000 Speaker 1: humor side once you have had a baby.

Now, I know on Monday there were 510 00:26:08,800 --> 00:26:11,440 Speaker 1: rumors that kind of sent the stock market a flutter. 511 00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:15,480 Speaker 1: Tuesday and Wednesday has been calmer in terms of the 512 00:26:15,560 --> 00:26:19,520 Speaker 1: overall movements. I think what Wall Street is becoming aware of. 513 00:26:19,560 --> 00:26:21,679 Speaker 1: So here's my Here would be my advice. Not that 514 00:26:21,720 --> 00:26:24,000 Speaker 1: the Trump team's gonna ask me for economic advice in 515 00:26:24,040 --> 00:26:27,040 Speaker 1: any way, but what I would do is I would 516 00:26:27,119 --> 00:26:31,040 Speaker 1: start to roll out new agreements and I would get 517 00:26:31,080 --> 00:26:33,520 Speaker 1: a deal done with South Korea. I would get a 518 00:26:33,560 --> 00:26:36,440 Speaker 1: deal done with Japan. I would get a deal done 519 00:26:36,560 --> 00:26:39,919 Speaker 1: with England. I would get a deal done with Australia, 520 00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:44,679 Speaker 1: typical American allies, go ahead and get those deals done 521 00:26:45,240 --> 00:26:49,960 Speaker 1: and start checking them off the proverbial list, and go 522 00:26:50,040 --> 00:26:53,040 Speaker 1: on and move down that list because many of these 523 00:26:53,080 --> 00:26:55,760 Speaker 1: countries that we put tariffs on, I think we put 524 00:26:55,800 --> 00:27:00,440 Speaker 1: tariffs on in Gola for instance, like the Angola trade relateationship. 525 00:27:00,920 --> 00:27:02,920 Speaker 1: Somebody can look it up in the New York studio. 526 00:27:03,480 --> 00:27:06,040 Speaker 1: The country is not wealthy enough to have a massive 527 00:27:06,080 --> 00:27:08,919 Speaker 1: trade relationship with the United States in any kind of 528 00:27:08,920 --> 00:27:12,240 Speaker 1: substantial way. Whatever we do with Angola is not going 529 00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:14,439 Speaker 1: to move global markets in any way. So I think 530 00:27:14,480 --> 00:27:17,200 Speaker 1: you get allies done. I think you do small countries. 531 00:27:17,520 --> 00:27:19,840 Speaker 1: I think you get all those done, wrapped up, make 532 00:27:19,880 --> 00:27:22,560 Speaker 1: a deal of each of them. And then I think 533 00:27:22,760 --> 00:27:26,520 Speaker 1: if I were if I were Trump, if I were 534 00:27:26,560 --> 00:27:29,840 Speaker 1: advising Trump, I would tell him to just acknowledge what 535 00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:33,199 Speaker 1: is I think the fundamental truth here. This is about China, 536 00:27:33,800 --> 00:27:37,560 Speaker 1: and we're trying to reset a generational trade imbalance that 537 00:27:37,640 --> 00:27:42,960 Speaker 1: has artificially inflated China's economy and hurt ours. And really 538 00:27:43,960 --> 00:27:48,959 Speaker 1: that is where this global trade battle is really going 539 00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:51,960 Speaker 1: to play itself out. And I think that's the story here. 540 00:27:52,280 --> 00:27:55,159 Speaker 1: Because you pointed out some of these places we should 541 00:27:55,160 --> 00:27:59,800 Speaker 1: have no tariff fights with because we're relatively even in 542 00:28:00,119 --> 00:28:04,639 Speaker 1: raid relationship. But China is the big deal. It's the 543 00:28:04,680 --> 00:28:07,840 Speaker 1: one that, as Kevin O'Leary said, mister, the second biggest market, 544 00:28:07,840 --> 00:28:10,600 Speaker 1: I mean second, yeah, sorry, it's the largest, well yeah, 545 00:28:10,640 --> 00:28:14,200 Speaker 1: the largest market and the second biggest economy in the world. 546 00:28:14,240 --> 00:28:14,960 Speaker 2: So think about this. 547 00:28:15,400 --> 00:28:19,600 Speaker 3: We are operating at a huge disadvantage when it comes 548 00:28:19,640 --> 00:28:22,840 Speaker 3: to access to the now largest in terms of population. 549 00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:25,880 Speaker 3: I know, we're the largest in terms of consumer spending, 550 00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:28,960 Speaker 3: so you know, largest is a little bit of a 551 00:28:29,200 --> 00:28:31,639 Speaker 3: of a tricky word there, but you know, there's like 552 00:28:31,640 --> 00:28:34,920 Speaker 3: one point two billion people in China and we don't 553 00:28:34,960 --> 00:28:38,000 Speaker 3: have very good access at all. And in fact, the 554 00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:39,520 Speaker 3: access that we have, and I do think this was 555 00:28:39,560 --> 00:28:41,680 Speaker 3: an important point that Kevin O'Leary made, I've made I've 556 00:28:41,680 --> 00:28:44,000 Speaker 3: made it many times myself. The access that we have 557 00:28:44,080 --> 00:28:48,200 Speaker 3: in some ways backfires on us because China will take 558 00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:50,760 Speaker 3: whatever that we show up in China with to operate 559 00:28:51,120 --> 00:28:55,000 Speaker 3: and any anything from like some new you know, new 560 00:28:55,440 --> 00:28:57,959 Speaker 3: scrub brush to clean your dishes, all the way up 561 00:28:57,960 --> 00:29:01,480 Speaker 3: to some high end AI they'll they'll if they if 562 00:29:01,480 --> 00:29:05,440 Speaker 3: it's on Chinese territory, territory. They will get access to 563 00:29:05,440 --> 00:29:08,520 Speaker 3: that IP, they will copy it, they will mass produce it, 564 00:29:08,760 --> 00:29:10,600 Speaker 3: they will sell it back to US. I mean, you know, 565 00:29:10,720 --> 00:29:13,200 Speaker 3: so this is here's problem, Clay. I mean, here's just 566 00:29:13,200 --> 00:29:16,200 Speaker 3: a small example. When I was in Uh, you've never 567 00:29:16,200 --> 00:29:17,479 Speaker 3: been in China right now. 568 00:29:18,360 --> 00:29:19,960 Speaker 1: I don't think I'll ever go at this point with 569 00:29:20,040 --> 00:29:21,400 Speaker 1: the relationships where they are. 570 00:29:21,560 --> 00:29:23,080 Speaker 3: No, I wouldn't don't. I don't want to get that 571 00:29:23,120 --> 00:29:25,520 Speaker 3: call from you in Beijing. I hope i'd be high 572 00:29:25,600 --> 00:29:28,320 Speaker 3: on your high on your list, right Yes, who I 573 00:29:28,600 --> 00:29:30,280 Speaker 3: saw this thing on that Who would you call if 574 00:29:30,280 --> 00:29:33,000 Speaker 3: you're in some third world hellhole prison? 575 00:29:33,120 --> 00:29:33,200 Speaker 7: Like? 576 00:29:33,400 --> 00:29:33,560 Speaker 1: Who? 577 00:29:33,840 --> 00:29:33,880 Speaker 6: Like? 578 00:29:33,920 --> 00:29:36,160 Speaker 3: Who are your top calls?

Uh, 589 00:30:04,000 --> 00:30:05,720 Speaker 3: this is just this is a surreal thing. 590 00:30:06,240 --> 00:30:06,480 Speaker 8: Uh. 591 00:30:06,560 --> 00:30:09,280 Speaker 3: There were stores and I went into one where there 592 00:30:09,320 --> 00:30:12,040 Speaker 3: it looks like a Rolex store basically like it's made 593 00:30:12,120 --> 00:30:15,600 Speaker 3: to and it's all fake, and it's all very high 594 00:30:15,640 --> 00:30:17,840 Speaker 3: and it's very high end fakes, the kind of fakes 595 00:30:17,880 --> 00:30:21,000 Speaker 3: where you have to would you'd have to take apart 596 00:30:21,160 --> 00:30:24,120 Speaker 3: the watch to know that it's fake. Some people would 597 00:30:24,120 --> 00:30:26,120 Speaker 3: be able to see with the laser etching on the inside, 598 00:30:26,240 --> 00:30:27,960 Speaker 3: on the sort of inside of the bezel. I mean, 599 00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:30,120 Speaker 3: there's a few things, but it is like very high 600 00:30:30,160 --> 00:30:33,000 Speaker 3: in the point being that there they have like billion 601 00:30:33,080 --> 00:30:37,360 Speaker 3: dollar factories making fake Rolexes, which is one of the 602 00:30:37,360 --> 00:30:40,000 Speaker 3: most recognizable and valuable brands on the planet of Rolex 603 00:30:40,040 --> 00:30:42,080 Speaker 3: is effectively like cash anywhere in the world.

Drop your buddy. We had an 613 00:31:04,480 --> 00:31:07,280 Speaker 1: awesome dinner in Miami. I'm fascinated by it. I've never 614 00:31:07,320 --> 00:31:09,840 Speaker 1: had a good watch in my life. But your buddy 615 00:31:09,880 --> 00:31:11,440 Speaker 1: is in the watch business that we went out to 616 00:31:11,440 --> 00:31:14,120 Speaker 1: dinner with, and I was fascinated by all the stories 617 00:31:14,120 --> 00:31:15,440 Speaker 1: he had about different watches. 618 00:31:16,080 --> 00:31:18,400 Speaker 2: Wind Vintage dot Com is this site. He's got really 619 00:31:18,400 --> 00:31:19,040 Speaker 2: cool stuff. 620 00:31:19,400 --> 00:31:21,800 Speaker 3: I've got a bunch of watches that I've purchased from him, 621 00:31:21,840 --> 00:31:24,200 Speaker 3: so I had to watch things. But anyway, the watch 622 00:31:24,200 --> 00:31:25,120 Speaker 3: things fascinating to me. 623 00:31:25,440 --> 00:31:26,320 Speaker 6: But the. 624 00:31:28,440 --> 00:31:30,440 Speaker 3: Fact is that China does this so openly, is my 625 00:31:30,520 --> 00:31:33,480 Speaker 3: beast like, Yes, you have guys in Times Square who 626 00:31:33,520 --> 00:31:36,360 Speaker 3: are selling fake hats and you know, fake Fendi bags 627 00:31:36,400 --> 00:31:38,600 Speaker 3: and stuff like that, but they're not supposed to do it. 628 00:31:38,600 --> 00:31:41,240 Speaker 3: It's counterfeit goods, and we actually do police that at 629 00:31:41,240 --> 00:31:43,640 Speaker 3: some level. In China, they just do this stuff, and 630 00:31:43,680 --> 00:31:47,320 Speaker 3: they do this with everything, and we do nothing in response. 631 00:31:47,680 --> 00:31:51,000 Speaker 3: And in a world increasingly where as we've said, the 632 00:31:51,040 --> 00:31:54,600 Speaker 3: military is really a function of In the future, it's 633 00:31:54,640 --> 00:31:57,320 Speaker 3: going to be a function of machinery and industrial output 634 00:31:57,720 --> 00:32:01,080 Speaker 3: all right, I think a naval ravicon brilliant. He basically said, 635 00:32:01,120 --> 00:32:04,720 Speaker 3: if you can't produce drones at scale in the future, 636 00:32:05,040 --> 00:32:07,640 Speaker 3: you will be at the whim of whoever can. That 637 00:32:07,760 --> 00:32:10,080 Speaker 3: is the world we are heading into, not in fifty years, 638 00:32:10,120 --> 00:32:13,720 Speaker 3: in like five. So you know, it's there's a lot 639 00:32:13,800 --> 00:32:17,560 Speaker 3: of moving pieces with this stuff. And I just think 640 00:32:17,600 --> 00:32:20,720 Speaker 3: that I think you're right. You know, the messaging of us, 641 00:32:20,800 --> 00:32:22,840 Speaker 3: we can you know, we can critique a little bit 642 00:32:22,960 --> 00:32:24,360 Speaker 3: or say I wish it was a little bit different 643 00:32:24,360 --> 00:32:26,280 Speaker 3: here or there, But Clay, I still think on the 644 00:32:26,320 --> 00:32:30,239 Speaker 3: thirty thousand foot level, he's right on this one. I 645 00:32:30,280 --> 00:32:32,600 Speaker 3: still think on I truly believe on the thirty thousand 646 00:32:32,640 --> 00:32:34,960 Speaker 3: foot level, on the macro level, Trump sees something that. 647 00:32:34,960 --> 00:32:37,320 Speaker 2: Needs to be addressed and fixed. I think it's one 648 00:32:37,360 --> 00:32:38,120 Speaker 2: hundred percent right. 649 00:32:38,240 --> 00:32:41,280 Speaker 1: And we'll talk about this with Art Laffer, who is 650 00:32:41,400 --> 00:32:44,400 Speaker 1: one of the most brilliant economists anywhere in the world. 651 00:32:44,760 --> 00:32:48,840 Speaker 1: I mean, his history of being right on so many 652 00:32:48,840 --> 00:32:52,800 Speaker 1: of these issues.
