1 00:00:00,560 --> 00:00:03,600 Speaker 1: Thanks Scott chan An hour two Sean Hannity's show, Toll Free, 2 00:00:03,800 --> 00:00:06,000 Speaker 1: it is eight hundred and nine foot one Shawn. If 3 00:00:06,040 --> 00:00:08,239 Speaker 1: you want to be a part of the program. Later 4 00:00:08,280 --> 00:00:11,920 Speaker 1: in the program, the President had a full cabinet meeting 5 00:00:11,960 --> 00:00:15,360 Speaker 1: earlier today, and if you want to hear with America's 6 00:00:15,480 --> 00:00:20,600 Speaker 1: future and how dramatically different and open and transparent, and 7 00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:26,239 Speaker 1: how transformational and consequential everything that every department is now 8 00:00:26,280 --> 00:00:29,760 Speaker 1: doing to get this country back to constitutional order. It's 9 00:00:29,800 --> 00:00:33,760 Speaker 1: actually pretty inspiring, and it's pretty amazing what every single 10 00:00:34,320 --> 00:00:38,800 Speaker 1: person is up to right now. And it's amazing. 11 00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:39,040 Speaker 2: Now. 12 00:00:39,159 --> 00:00:43,720 Speaker 1: The big issue before everybody is, after fifty sixty years 13 00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:49,040 Speaker 1: of getting ripped off, abused, taken advantage of, and American 14 00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:55,120 Speaker 1: presidents and American Congresses allowing this to happen, hurting American manufacturers, 15 00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:57,520 Speaker 1: hurting the working men and women in this country, the 16 00:00:57,560 --> 00:01:01,520 Speaker 1: people that really do make this country great. It is 17 00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:05,760 Speaker 1: making us dependent on items we should never ever be 18 00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:12,320 Speaker 1: dependent on, for example, semiconductor chips or pharmaceuticals. We learned 19 00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:15,959 Speaker 1: that during COVID, what God forbid this COVID two point zero, 20 00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:18,560 Speaker 1: you know, the nine to eleven Commissioner report concluded oh, 21 00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:20,400 Speaker 1: they were war with us, but we were not at 22 00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:23,720 Speaker 1: war with them. Well, all these nations around the world 23 00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:27,600 Speaker 1: economically have been at war with the United States, taking 24 00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:30,759 Speaker 1: advantage of us, ripping us off, abusing us, and we've 25 00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:33,559 Speaker 1: been taking it. And now we've got a president saying 26 00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:37,760 Speaker 1: enough is enough, and he's given countries a choice, and 27 00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:42,360 Speaker 1: that is free and fair trade or reciprocal tariffs. 28 00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:43,960 Speaker 3: And the choice is pretty much theirs. 29 00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:44,360 Speaker 2: Now. 30 00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:48,880 Speaker 1: The European Union charges ten percent, for example, on American 31 00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:53,000 Speaker 1: automobiles that are sold in Europe. Then they have a 32 00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:56,040 Speaker 1: twenty percent VAT tax, which is a value added tax 33 00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:59,760 Speaker 1: national sales tax. That's thirty percent increase on the sticker 34 00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:03,160 Speaker 1: price of an American car. Is at any wonder? For example, 35 00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:06,520 Speaker 1: Germany sells nearly ten cars in America to every one 36 00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:10,080 Speaker 1: American made car sold in Germany. It becomes cost prohibitive, 37 00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:13,040 Speaker 1: and we're supposed to just sit back and take that. 38 00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:16,680 Speaker 1: And then they go into energy deals with Vladimir Putin 39 00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:20,520 Speaker 1: and none of these countries end up paying their fair share. 40 00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:22,800 Speaker 1: We pay the bulk of the freight for NATO to 41 00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:24,160 Speaker 1: protect them from Russia. 42 00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:25,600 Speaker 3: How stupid is this? 43 00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:28,840 Speaker 1: That's why Chancellor Merkle got the white flag of surrender 44 00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:31,520 Speaker 1: back in Trump's first term. Anyway, we welcome up back 45 00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:34,799 Speaker 1: to the program our friend Peter Navarro, an American economists author 46 00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:38,239 Speaker 1: who is currently Senior Counsel for Trade and Manufacturing for 47 00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:41,640 Speaker 1: the US. Peter, great to have you back. How are you, sir. 48 00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:45,359 Speaker 2: I'm doing fine, Sean, and America is doing fine. That 49 00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:50,920 Speaker 2: was a very very good and historical day for America yesterday. 50 00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:53,960 Speaker 2: I think it's probably the greatest day in American trade history. 51 00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:59,639 Speaker 2: We've got now a global tariff of ten percent around 52 00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:04,760 Speaker 2: the world, and we've got over eighty countries now coming 53 00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:09,360 Speaker 2: in with the acknowledgement that they've been cheating US willing 54 00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:16,639 Speaker 2: to deal which will basically help bring home our manufacturing 55 00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:21,559 Speaker 2: and equally important, reduce our massive, massive, massive trade deficits 56 00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:27,880 Speaker 2: with them. And this was a beautiful masterl negotiation art 57 00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:31,560 Speaker 2: of the reciprocal trade deal that we watched. And Sean, Yes, 58 00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:34,520 Speaker 2: there were so many people in the media and on 59 00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:39,240 Speaker 2: Wall Street and up on Capitol Hill nervous Nelly's who 60 00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:42,840 Speaker 2: just did not trust in Trump. And Donald Trump showed 61 00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:45,600 Speaker 2: once again, and I don't know how many times he 62 00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:48,320 Speaker 2: has to keep proving this that he is the master 63 00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:52,320 Speaker 2: of the negotiation and you just have to get behind him, 64 00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:56,640 Speaker 2: stay behind him, and let him do his thing for us. 65 00:03:56,880 --> 00:04:01,880 Speaker 1: Now, there is some ambiguity in people's minds because there 66 00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:04,640 Speaker 1: are other issues that we have with other countries. It's 67 00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:08,960 Speaker 1: not just free or fair trade or reciprocal tariffs. That 68 00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:12,120 Speaker 1: is probably the bulk of the issue for most of 69 00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:14,040 Speaker 1: the countries that we're going to be dealing with and 70 00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:17,960 Speaker 1: whatever trade deals are ultimately going to be made, and 71 00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:21,239 Speaker 1: if some of these countries decide that they want reciprocal tariffs, 72 00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:24,479 Speaker 1: they're going to do it to their own detriment. My 73 00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:27,960 Speaker 1: argument is the strength of Donald Trump, and you have 74 00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:30,119 Speaker 1: to have a backbone of steel to do what he's doing, 75 00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:34,200 Speaker 1: is that he understands that all these countries they desperately 76 00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:37,480 Speaker 1: need access to American markets, and that would include China. 77 00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:40,760 Speaker 1: But then you have, you know, a kind of the 78 00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:44,719 Speaker 1: It gets the waters get a little muddied, if you will, 79 00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:48,919 Speaker 1: if you get away from free and fair and reciprocal tariffs, 80 00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:53,240 Speaker 1: and then you start negotiating about currency manipulation or trade 81 00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:55,600 Speaker 1: deficits with the country. And by the way, it may 82 00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:58,480 Speaker 1: not necessarily be well, we'll have a trade surplus for 83 00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:00,800 Speaker 1: country A, we'll have a trade deficit that what country be. 84 00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:03,880 Speaker 1: It all depends on what we're importing, what we're exporting. 85 00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:07,520 Speaker 1: I think overall, when the President's energy dominance program gets up, 86 00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:10,039 Speaker 1: Europe is going to want our energy. It's going to 87 00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:13,680 Speaker 1: be in their national security interest to get energy from America, 88 00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:16,520 Speaker 1: not from Russia. That would add I believe that would 89 00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:18,279 Speaker 1: create a trade surplus, don't you think. 90 00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:22,400 Speaker 2: Let me clear the waters on this for people to understand. 91 00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:27,200 Speaker 2: So the whole motion of reciprocity is that we will 92 00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:31,160 Speaker 2: charge them whatever they are going to charge us. And 93 00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:36,520 Speaker 2: the higher tariffs that the world charges us uniformally around 94 00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:40,080 Speaker 2: the world Sean are only a very small part of 95 00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:44,400 Speaker 2: the way they cheat us. It's the non cheating. It's 96 00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:48,040 Speaker 2: the non tariff cheating that really sticks it to us. 97 00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:51,440 Speaker 2: And it's the currency manipulation. Let me count the ways. 98 00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:54,600 Speaker 2: I can probably get up to ten. But it's currency manipulation. 99 00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:59,560 Speaker 2: It's the vat taxes, it's a dumping, the exports subsidy, 100 00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:02,800 Speaker 2: the technical barriers to trade that keep our autos out, 101 00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:06,560 Speaker 2: and say in Japan, the agricultural barriers to trade which 102 00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:10,880 Speaker 2: prevent our pork and our beef and our chicken from 103 00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:15,719 Speaker 2: going in. It's the lawfare they're waging against their digital companies. 104 00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:19,800 Speaker 2: It's the trans shipping, it's the sweatshop labor, it's the 105 00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:23,200 Speaker 2: pollution havens. I think I'm pretty damn close to ten. 106 00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:28,240 Speaker 1: Well, intellectual property theft. There's just costing America and companies, 107 00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:31,839 Speaker 1: you know, untold hundreds of billions of non trillions. 108 00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:35,559 Speaker 2: Of dollars trillions every year, Sean. And so the point 109 00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:38,320 Speaker 2: here is it's very clear, the waters are very clear. 110 00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:42,480 Speaker 2: It's like they have to stop doing that to us. 111 00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:46,400 Speaker 2: And we were very careful about how to value those 112 00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:51,480 Speaker 2: non teriff barriers, that non tariff cheating in a way 113 00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:56,120 Speaker 2: which will reflected, and the reciprocal teriffs we're charging them. Now, 114 00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:59,000 Speaker 2: think about where we are, think about where President Trump 115 00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:02,400 Speaker 2: is pushing, and they go shading position. We've established a 116 00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:07,599 Speaker 2: clear global broad tariff. It's going to bring in billions 117 00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:10,480 Speaker 2: of dollars a day, billions of dollars a day. Then 118 00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:12,440 Speaker 2: every dollar is going to go back to the American 119 00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:15,760 Speaker 2: people in terms of tax cuts and debt reduction. All 120 00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:21,080 Speaker 2: good there. We've established our reciprocal trade tariff over and 121 00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:24,440 Speaker 2: above that, Sean. And we are putting that on pause. 122 00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:27,600 Speaker 2: And so the only good, the only thing that's going 123 00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:31,560 Speaker 2: to happen now is we will lower that portion of 124 00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:35,080 Speaker 2: the tariff, the reciprocal portion of the tariff down, but 125 00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:39,440 Speaker 2: only if they lower their non tariff barriers. And it's 126 00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:42,400 Speaker 2: this I want to like, these people are Europe's coming 127 00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:45,560 Speaker 2: at US, Vietnam's coming as let's go to zero tariff. 128 00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:49,640 Speaker 2: That does nothing, nothing for us. It's the non tariff cheating. 129 00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:50,960 Speaker 2: I can't stress that enough. 130 00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:53,520 Speaker 1: I don't think it does nothing. I think it's a win, 131 00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:58,119 Speaker 1: but it's certainly not comprehensive enough to have an equal 132 00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:01,120 Speaker 1: playing field. I think, tell you what I think them 133 00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:05,280 Speaker 1: eliminating terrrists. But however, it gets complicated in this sense 134 00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:07,360 Speaker 1: of that tax is a terrrift. 135 00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:09,240 Speaker 3: There's no other way to put it. 136 00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:12,560 Speaker 2: It's also an export subsidy. In other words, they don't 137 00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:18,040 Speaker 2: just tarriff us sending stuff to them. When their BMW 138 00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:20,920 Speaker 2: comes to the US, the German government gives them an 139 00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:24,400 Speaker 2: exports They give them a rebate on the VAT, which 140 00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:28,120 Speaker 2: acts as an export subsidy. It's incredible. So it's double 141 00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:29,600 Speaker 2: edged tool. But anyway, go ahead. 142 00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:35,680 Speaker 1: Can you explain how currency manipulation has taken place, because 143 00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:39,360 Speaker 1: it's not a concept I think most people would would 144 00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:41,120 Speaker 1: be aware of. 145 00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:45,200 Speaker 2: Sure. The way it works is every country in the 146 00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:50,439 Speaker 2: world has some their currency has some relationship to the dollars. 147 00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:53,760 Speaker 2: So in order for China, say to buy one dollar, 148 00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:56,920 Speaker 2: they got to give seven u one. Okay. Now, what 149 00:08:57,160 --> 00:09:00,480 Speaker 2: happens is if we care of them and this is 150 00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:02,920 Speaker 2: what they do, or if they want to sell more 151 00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:09,760 Speaker 2: exports to us, what they do is they devalue their currency. 152 00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:13,600 Speaker 2: Devalue they make it so their currency is less and 153 00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:16,880 Speaker 2: the dollars stronger. What does that mean. It's like a 154 00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:21,520 Speaker 2: stronger dollar will buy more in China, a weaker yuwan 155 00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:25,280 Speaker 2: buy less than the US. So they win both ways. 156 00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:28,000 Speaker 2: And the way they do it is through central bank 157 00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:32,440 Speaker 2: interventions where they're buying or selling dollars depending on which 158 00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:35,439 Speaker 2: way they want their currency to go. And it's pernicious. 159 00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:39,120 Speaker 2: One of the big surges that we had for several 160 00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:43,280 Speaker 2: years with China when they were just taking tens of 161 00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:47,359 Speaker 2: thousands of our factories, it was almost all currency manipulation. 162 00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:50,120 Speaker 2: And then the other things they do is they dump, 163 00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:53,360 Speaker 2: which is sending us stuff below cost. Now, don't you 164 00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:57,959 Speaker 2: remember that famous time cover where they had a thing 165 00:09:58,040 --> 00:10:01,400 Speaker 2: called the China Price, and they asked question, how did 166 00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:04,679 Speaker 2: China sell stuff in America for fifty cents less than 167 00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:07,560 Speaker 2: everybody does it on the dollars? And it was all 168 00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:11,800 Speaker 2: about the cheating, the currency dump being the exports, subsidies, 169 00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:15,559 Speaker 2: the state government owned enterprises and stuff like that. So 170 00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:19,840 Speaker 2: the Treasury Department watches all this stuff carefully and it's 171 00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:23,839 Speaker 2: a very potent tool. So when the reason Sean why 172 00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:27,120 Speaker 2: we didn't see any inflation when we put the big 173 00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:31,720 Speaker 2: tariffs on China is a lot of the burden was 174 00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:35,080 Speaker 2: born by the exporters themselves. You know, they had to sell, 175 00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:39,720 Speaker 2: so they lowered their price, but they also evalued their currency. 176 00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:42,800 Speaker 2: That's the currency manipulation. So it's all a central bank 177 00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:44,440 Speaker 2: thing and it's a weapon. 178 00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:48,599 Speaker 1: How soon with the seventy five countries that created the 179 00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:53,720 Speaker 1: ninety day pause, how soon do you expect deals to 180 00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:58,880 Speaker 1: be announced? And what countries do you expect will move expeditiously? 181 00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:00,880 Speaker 1: Because I would probably make the argument I think I 182 00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:03,240 Speaker 1: know Trump pretty well. I've known him for thirty years 183 00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:06,160 Speaker 1: and I've supported him ever since he got into the 184 00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:10,120 Speaker 1: political arena. As you know, I'm pretty sure, if you 185 00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:12,920 Speaker 1: get one of the first twenty deals, you're probably going 186 00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:13,840 Speaker 1: to get a better deal. 187 00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:18,559 Speaker 3: And then if he got the last ten, well, I'm 188 00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:18,920 Speaker 3: not sure. 189 00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:21,000 Speaker 1: But do you know what it's like to negotiate an 190 00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:23,559 Speaker 1: interview with him? I'll ask him, I'll say I need 191 00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:25,280 Speaker 1: it now, if I need an hour. 192 00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:28,720 Speaker 2: Know a little bit about negotiating with the boss, and 193 00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:32,480 Speaker 2: it's when Unfortunately I've been more of an observer than 194 00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:35,040 Speaker 2: having to negotiate within my shelf. 195 00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:39,480 Speaker 1: But I shouldn't say I mean, he is hardcore. If 196 00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:41,679 Speaker 1: I say I want an hour for the TV show, 197 00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:44,959 Speaker 1: you know, he said, I'll give you twenty minutes. 198 00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:47,120 Speaker 3: That's where he starts. 199 00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:50,240 Speaker 1: And by the way, he has every intention of giving 200 00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:52,160 Speaker 1: me the time for the full hour, and then he 201 00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:54,800 Speaker 1: usually will go way over time, and then I'll have 202 00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:57,640 Speaker 1: more material for the next night, and that's on him. 203 00:11:57,840 --> 00:11:59,960 Speaker 3: So I'll usually settle it like thirty five. 204 00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:01,719 Speaker 1: I've been knowing that he's going to stay in the 205 00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:03,720 Speaker 1: chair for the forty four minutes that I need to 206 00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:06,120 Speaker 1: get for the full hour, and then he will go 207 00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:09,040 Speaker 1: over time because he once he's in the chairy like, 208 00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:11,880 Speaker 1: we just keep talking like friends, you know, so it 209 00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:12,959 Speaker 1: just keep going. 210 00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:15,320 Speaker 2: Understood, well, he's going to take he's going to be 211 00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:17,920 Speaker 2: the lead negotiator in but we've got a great team. 212 00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:21,719 Speaker 2: Jamison Greer, the USTR NO chapter in versus all of 213 00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:26,440 Speaker 2: these non tariff cheating that goes on. Howard Ludnik in 214 00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:30,480 Speaker 2: his own right is a fantastic negotiator. Scott Bethen knows 215 00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:33,800 Speaker 2: a lot about the currency manipulation and the financial ways 216 00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:36,800 Speaker 2: that they screw us. And then you got Kevin Hafft doing 217 00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:43,120 Speaker 2: wonderful background analysis and making sure the flow of world 218 00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:46,400 Speaker 2: leaders comes in properly. And then the Vice President has 219 00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:49,520 Speaker 2: been just beautiful on all of this. He's he's very involved, 220 00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:54,000 Speaker 2: very engaged, and very very knowledgeable. It's very very different 221 00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:57,520 Speaker 2: from Mike Pence. I mean, j JD knows his stuff 222 00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:01,880 Speaker 2: and he lived it. He grew up getting hammered by 223 00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:05,800 Speaker 2: the unfair trade, particularly of China. So you know, you'll 224 00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:09,599 Speaker 2: see you'll see deals, and they'll be great deals for 225 00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:12,520 Speaker 2: America and they'll start flowing. I mean, but we got 226 00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:16,000 Speaker 2: ninety days and we're up to almost ninety countries and 227 00:13:16,559 --> 00:13:18,319 Speaker 2: this can be done and they're going to be come. 228 00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:21,320 Speaker 1: Let me ask you this exit question. Do you agree 229 00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:24,040 Speaker 1: with me? I think China will come to the table. 230 00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:27,080 Speaker 1: I think a deal eventually will be struck with China 231 00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:29,360 Speaker 1: because they have to have access to our markets. 232 00:13:29,880 --> 00:13:33,400 Speaker 2: It's very much in China's interest. And yeah, I've been 233 00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:37,800 Speaker 2: saying John for almost twenty years now that this could 234 00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:40,320 Speaker 2: be a great thing both for China and the US, 235 00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:45,600 Speaker 2: because what China should have been doing is gradually moving 236 00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:50,680 Speaker 2: towards a more domestic consumption economy. They're heavily export dependent, 237 00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:54,120 Speaker 2: and that means they're heavily export dependent not just on 238 00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:58,000 Speaker 2: the United States, but on Europe and other parts of 239 00:13:58,080 --> 00:14:01,120 Speaker 2: the prosperous world. And China is really not going to 240 00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:05,040 Speaker 2: be the world power and the respect the nation it 241 00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:09,240 Speaker 2: wants to be until that that it has a strong 242 00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:12,320 Speaker 2: domestic market and the people with China would be better 243 00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:14,920 Speaker 2: for it. So yeah, I mean, the President keeps saying 244 00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:19,160 Speaker 2: that that China would love to make a deal, and 245 00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:21,120 Speaker 2: he'd loved to make a deal with them. So let's 246 00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:23,400 Speaker 2: see what happens, is the boss says. But in the meantime, 247 00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:26,720 Speaker 2: I think the people of America should be really heartened 248 00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:30,400 Speaker 2: by what happened yesterday. It's amazing and it'd all played it. 249 00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:31,400 Speaker 3: I think it's that too. 250 00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:33,520 Speaker 1: But I think America should be happy that, you know, 251 00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:36,560 Speaker 1: all these countries, you know, realize that they've been ripping 252 00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:39,720 Speaker 1: us off. That's why they so quickly moved towards can 253 00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:42,680 Speaker 1: we do a deal? And I hope these deals get 254 00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:45,720 Speaker 1: done quickly. I'm just looking at the clock up because 255 00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:47,480 Speaker 1: of the constraints of time, I have to let you go. 256 00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:47,760 Speaker 3: Peter. 257 00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:50,080 Speaker 1: We do appreciate you, as you know, Thanks so much, 258 00:14:50,120 --> 00:14:51,240 Speaker 1: as always with being with us. 259 00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:53,440 Speaker 2: It was good to talk to Sean Fight a good friend. 260 00:14:53,560 --> 00:14:53,960 Speaker 3: Thanks brother. 261 00:14:54,120 --> 00:15:00,560 Speaker 1: Eight hundred nine four one, Shawn a number here to 262 00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:05,280 Speaker 1: weigh in on. You know where we are in terms 263 00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:09,080 Speaker 1: of President Trump his ninety days suspension of these tariffs. 264 00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:11,800 Speaker 1: He's only staying with the ten percent tariff. We have 265 00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:15,800 Speaker 1: been ripped off by country after country after country, including 266 00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:19,960 Speaker 1: allied countries, for the longest period of time. Why Americans 267 00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:23,200 Speaker 1: don't understand this fact. And it has hurt our economy. 268 00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:26,560 Speaker 1: It has hurt our manufacturing, it has hurt our automakers, 269 00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:28,920 Speaker 1: it has hurt our farmers, it has hurt our ranchers, 270 00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:30,600 Speaker 1: it has hurt our economy overall. 271 00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:31,560 Speaker 3: And this has gone on. 272 00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:37,000 Speaker 1: It's you know, the establishment institutionalist mindset is all no, no, no, 273 00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:39,000 Speaker 1: they're going to get mad at us and everything, and 274 00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:41,920 Speaker 1: we're going to have a trade war and the skiddish 275 00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:45,520 Speaker 1: you know, people on Wall Street freak out at any change. 276 00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:46,920 Speaker 3: They like the status quo. 277 00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:49,080 Speaker 1: Although don't kid yourself, a lot of people on Wall 278 00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:51,440 Speaker 1: Street make money when the market goes up, and they 279 00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:53,440 Speaker 1: make money when the market goes down. You know what 280 00:15:53,480 --> 00:15:56,680 Speaker 1: most people don't know is about fifty percent, over fifty 281 00:15:56,680 --> 00:15:58,880 Speaker 1: percent of Americans, they're not even in the stock market. 282 00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:00,720 Speaker 1: And the people that are going to benefit are the 283 00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:03,880 Speaker 1: people that will with all of the seven trillion dollars 284 00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:07,240 Speaker 1: in committed investments from countries and companies, which I've been 285 00:16:07,280 --> 00:16:10,280 Speaker 1: scrolling all over TV every night to educate people or 286 00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:14,360 Speaker 1: try to that is going to be massive, a massive 287 00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:18,320 Speaker 1: input of high paying career jobs for Americans, and with 288 00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:23,240 Speaker 1: manufacturing about to explode, that's going to be huge for 289 00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:26,000 Speaker 1: the American economy. You couple that with the President's plan 290 00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:29,600 Speaker 1: on energy and energy dominance, and you couple that with 291 00:16:29,760 --> 00:16:32,560 Speaker 1: the one hundred and fifty billion that Elon announced. And 292 00:16:32,640 --> 00:16:35,280 Speaker 1: we'll play this this cabinet meeting in the final hour 293 00:16:35,320 --> 00:16:38,000 Speaker 1: today because it was so worthwhile one hundred and fifty 294 00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:41,760 Speaker 1: billion dollars in saving a doge you've got yourself. You're 295 00:16:41,840 --> 00:16:46,040 Speaker 1: lining America up for the longest period of peacetime economic 296 00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:48,960 Speaker 1: growth in our lifetime. And it's just a matter of 297 00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:50,960 Speaker 1: people having a little bit of patience and a little 298 00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:55,400 Speaker 1: bit of understanding about the varying components and that it 299 00:16:55,480 --> 00:16:57,480 Speaker 1: takes time to do these things. It's going to take 300 00:16:57,480 --> 00:17:01,920 Speaker 1: time to get these factories online, these manufacts, exturing centers online. However, 301 00:17:02,160 --> 00:17:05,040 Speaker 1: the money's committed, it's over seven trillion. It's going to 302 00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:07,280 Speaker 1: take time to get that energy out of the ground, 303 00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:09,960 Speaker 1: but they'll get it out quickly. They've been incentivized to 304 00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:12,720 Speaker 1: do it. Presidents even proposing and has put out there 305 00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:16,240 Speaker 1: the idea that any new manufacturing center could be one 306 00:17:16,320 --> 00:17:20,400 Speaker 1: hundred percent tax deductible. Add that to reconciliation, which is 307 00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:23,280 Speaker 1: now well on a path towards success. Thankfully it passed 308 00:17:23,320 --> 00:17:29,520 Speaker 1: in the House today. We have major, major economic opportunities 309 00:17:29,560 --> 00:17:34,879 Speaker 1: that will transform America's economy, and it also has national 310 00:17:34,920 --> 00:17:38,520 Speaker 1: security implications. If we start producing our chips and semiconductor 311 00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:41,600 Speaker 1: stuff right here in America, guess what, We're not dependent 312 00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:44,760 Speaker 1: on other countries if we need pharmaceuticals in this country, 313 00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:47,560 Speaker 1: why don't we produce our own rather than rely on 314 00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:50,480 Speaker 1: other countries? God forbid, there's COVID two point zero. Anyway, 315 00:17:50,560 --> 00:17:54,200 Speaker 1: Steve Moore's with US economists, author of the bestseller Trumponomics, 316 00:17:54,200 --> 00:17:58,240 Speaker 1: Inside the America first planned to revive our economy. This 317 00:17:58,359 --> 00:18:00,760 Speaker 1: is exactly what the president promised that he would do. 318 00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:06,240 Speaker 1: And when he announced these tariffs, he got the world's attention. 319 00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:10,760 Speaker 1: I know the look, there's Main Street and then there's 320 00:18:10,760 --> 00:18:13,159 Speaker 1: Wall Street. I care about the people on Main Street. 321 00:18:13,520 --> 00:18:16,560 Speaker 1: And yes, is there a temporary decline in the stock market. 322 00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:19,000 Speaker 1: We saw yesterday the biggest one day gain in history. 323 00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:21,359 Speaker 1: But putting that all aside for a second, because that's 324 00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:25,040 Speaker 1: not my biggest barometer, but long term, the play that 325 00:18:25,119 --> 00:18:30,440 Speaker 1: the president is making is basically a declaration of economic independence, 326 00:18:30,560 --> 00:18:33,440 Speaker 1: and basically one saying we're not going to be abused, 327 00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:36,880 Speaker 1: taking advantage of, or ripped off anymore. And I think 328 00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:40,560 Speaker 1: that message resonates with Main Street. But the people of 329 00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:42,800 Speaker 1: Wall Street they kind of like the system the way 330 00:18:42,840 --> 00:18:43,560 Speaker 1: it is, don't they. 331 00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:46,200 Speaker 4: Well, it's almost like we have a kickbee sign and 332 00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:52,240 Speaker 4: plaster on our back. And it's true, and so listen, 333 00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:55,600 Speaker 4: I wanted to give one piece of little advice to 334 00:18:55,640 --> 00:18:57,640 Speaker 4: people in terms of the market. The market was way 335 00:18:57,720 --> 00:19:00,679 Speaker 4: up yesterday, it's coming down a little bit today. You 336 00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:03,760 Speaker 4: know my strategies, Buy the dips. Buy these dips because 337 00:19:03,800 --> 00:19:06,560 Speaker 4: the economy is going to rush back to good health. 338 00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:09,480 Speaker 4: And when that happens, American business they're going to do well. 339 00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:11,560 Speaker 4: So you want to be invested. And I just say, 340 00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:14,040 Speaker 4: every time I see one of these sellouts, I'm buying. 341 00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:16,960 Speaker 4: I'm buying stock as I believe in the Trump agenda. 342 00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:19,720 Speaker 4: And by the way, let's not forget Sean For people 343 00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:22,119 Speaker 4: who do watch the stock market, remember how much of 344 00:19:22,119 --> 00:19:24,800 Speaker 4: the NASAC was up in Trump's first term one hundred 345 00:19:24,800 --> 00:19:29,720 Speaker 4: and forty. The dollar was up sixty percent, the S 346 00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:31,760 Speaker 4: and P five hundred almost seventy five percent. 347 00:19:31,840 --> 00:19:34,040 Speaker 1: So this guy has a But in the beginning of 348 00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:37,200 Speaker 1: his term when he announced tariffs against China, the market 349 00:19:37,240 --> 00:19:39,440 Speaker 1: took a hit at that point, and then he got 350 00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:41,479 Speaker 1: a deal with China. I predict he's going to get 351 00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:44,439 Speaker 1: a deal with China. I think China has no choice. 352 00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:47,520 Speaker 1: They're going to want access to our markets. Now China 353 00:19:47,560 --> 00:19:52,479 Speaker 1: has another problem is European countries. They have responded to 354 00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:56,000 Speaker 1: the high tariffs that China has put on their countries, 355 00:19:56,600 --> 00:20:01,440 Speaker 1: and they have responded with reciprocal tariffs themselves. It's ironic 356 00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:05,080 Speaker 1: that they don't like reciprocal tarists put on them by 357 00:20:05,080 --> 00:20:07,560 Speaker 1: America because they've been abusing us for so long, but 358 00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:08,600 Speaker 1: they did it to China. 359 00:20:08,960 --> 00:20:11,800 Speaker 4: Well, that's exactly right. And incidentally, I think it's so 360 00:20:11,920 --> 00:20:14,760 Speaker 4: interesting that the media they report every day when you know, 361 00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:17,680 Speaker 4: when the stock market is down, but a lot of 362 00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:20,359 Speaker 4: your listeners probably don't know this because it's not reported 363 00:20:20,359 --> 00:20:23,000 Speaker 4: by the media. China's stock market is way down more 364 00:20:23,040 --> 00:20:25,399 Speaker 4: than ours is. So they have way more to lose 365 00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:28,280 Speaker 4: by not coming to an agreement with Trump than we do. 366 00:20:28,520 --> 00:20:31,160 Speaker 4: I mean, if they can't trade with the United States, 367 00:20:31,560 --> 00:20:33,919 Speaker 4: China is going to go into something that looked like 368 00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:36,119 Speaker 4: the Great depression that we have in the nineteen thirties 369 00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:39,720 Speaker 4: in the United States. They cannot possibly grow their economy 370 00:20:39,760 --> 00:20:42,800 Speaker 4: if they can't sell products to our you know, twenty 371 00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:46,840 Speaker 4: trillion dollar consumer market. And so the company understands that. 372 00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:50,720 Speaker 4: I really believe having been around him now for the 373 00:20:50,760 --> 00:20:53,600 Speaker 4: last eight years, this guy is like at least two 374 00:20:54,040 --> 00:20:57,880 Speaker 4: moves on the chessboard to everybody of everybody else, and 375 00:20:58,240 --> 00:21:00,800 Speaker 4: that's why he's been so successful. I want to make 376 00:21:00,840 --> 00:21:02,800 Speaker 4: one other quick point. If by Maychewan, you did a 377 00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:05,280 Speaker 4: good summation of what's happening with the economy, you left 378 00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:09,240 Speaker 4: out something. We got a really good inflation number today. Surprise, surprise, 379 00:21:09,520 --> 00:21:11,359 Speaker 4: Trump has ended the Biden inflation. 380 00:21:11,760 --> 00:21:15,200 Speaker 3: This is two months in a row now an unexpected dip. 381 00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:16,320 Speaker 3: I mean it. 382 00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:19,400 Speaker 1: There's nothing this guy can do right in any way, shape, matter, 383 00:21:19,440 --> 00:21:23,560 Speaker 1: or form. The White House National Economic Council Director Kevin 384 00:21:23,600 --> 00:21:27,800 Speaker 1: has to announced that trade deals are moving very very quickly. 385 00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:31,480 Speaker 1: Nearly twenty countries are sending in proposals. Now there's over 386 00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:34,359 Speaker 1: seventy five countries. And this is the reason the President 387 00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:38,840 Speaker 1: put the palls in place, is because these countries reacted 388 00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:41,000 Speaker 1: the way they should have reacted. They know they've been 389 00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:43,760 Speaker 1: ripping us off all these years. And the President was 390 00:21:43,800 --> 00:21:45,720 Speaker 1: interesting in this cabinet meeting, which is only going to 391 00:21:45,720 --> 00:21:48,520 Speaker 1: place some of this in the next hour, when he said, 392 00:21:48,560 --> 00:21:52,320 Speaker 1: I don't really blame them, it's the people that were 393 00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:54,639 Speaker 1: president at the time. And this has gone on for 394 00:21:54,680 --> 00:21:58,000 Speaker 1: fifty or sixty years. They've allowed our country to be 395 00:21:58,119 --> 00:22:02,000 Speaker 1: ripped off and taken advantage of. And any American president 396 00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:04,919 Speaker 1: at any time could have and should have stopped this. 397 00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:08,119 Speaker 1: But they don't have the intestinal fortitude of a Donald 398 00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:11,320 Speaker 1: Trump to say, sorry, you don't get to rip off America. 399 00:22:11,359 --> 00:22:13,800 Speaker 1: You don't get to hurt American manufacturing, you don't get 400 00:22:13,840 --> 00:22:16,879 Speaker 1: to hurt American auto workers, you don't get to screw 401 00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:20,480 Speaker 1: us over and meanwhile make a fortune office in at 402 00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:21,160 Speaker 1: the same time. 403 00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:24,240 Speaker 4: Well, as you know, I do believe in free trade. 404 00:22:24,240 --> 00:22:27,000 Speaker 4: I understand how important it is to the world economy. 405 00:22:27,119 --> 00:22:29,560 Speaker 2: But don't you have. 406 00:22:29,560 --> 00:22:32,040 Speaker 3: A group don't you believe in free and fair trade? 407 00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:34,520 Speaker 4: Exactly? Yes, that's that's what I was saying. What Trump 408 00:22:34,600 --> 00:22:37,880 Speaker 4: is really convince me of is that you know, when 409 00:22:38,080 --> 00:22:41,000 Speaker 4: when they're terrorists are two, three, four times higher than 410 00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:44,200 Speaker 4: ours hour, that simply is not a fair playing field. 411 00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:47,119 Speaker 4: It's not a level playing field. And Trump is basically 412 00:22:47,160 --> 00:22:51,560 Speaker 4: flexing our economic muscle. He is exerting American power to 413 00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:54,240 Speaker 4: force these countries to do what they should do. Anyways, 414 00:22:54,280 --> 00:22:56,680 Speaker 4: I mean, I told you earlier this week on your 415 00:22:56,680 --> 00:23:00,400 Speaker 4: show that you know these Europeans in the Japanese said, 416 00:23:00,560 --> 00:23:03,160 Speaker 4: and all these said, the Chinese are so sank to mother, Gee, 417 00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:05,440 Speaker 4: you know Trump is starting at trade Wark. We didn't 418 00:23:05,440 --> 00:23:07,840 Speaker 4: start this. How do we start? 419 00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:10,639 Speaker 1: We've been We've been the victim of this.

We want to give negotiations a chance. I'm sorry. 463 00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:49,920 Speaker 1: You know, we only charged a two and a half 464 00:25:49,960 --> 00:25:54,560 Speaker 1: percent tariff on European countries. For example, on automobiles, they 465 00:25:54,680 --> 00:25:57,200 Speaker 1: charge a ten percent tariff. But then they got something 466 00:25:57,200 --> 00:26:00,800 Speaker 1: called the value added tax of that tax national sales tax. 467 00:26:01,400 --> 00:26:05,080 Speaker 1: So that's an increase of thirty percent on the sticker 468 00:26:05,119 --> 00:26:08,400 Speaker 1: price of any American automobile that's ever sold in Europe. Well, 469 00:26:08,400 --> 00:26:10,720 Speaker 1: that makes it cost prohibitive for most people in Europe. 470 00:26:10,720 --> 00:26:14,520 Speaker 1: That's why we sell so few automobiles America made automobiles 471 00:26:14,520 --> 00:26:18,480 Speaker 1: in Europe. Germany, for example, sells ten German cars to 472 00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:21,840 Speaker 1: like one American car sold here. Ninety four percent of 473 00:26:21,920 --> 00:26:26,920 Speaker 1: cars purchased in Japan are are Japanese made, and at 474 00:26:26,920 --> 00:26:29,439 Speaker 1: some point we've got a level of playing field. 475 00:26:29,800 --> 00:26:31,880 Speaker 3: You know, why is Japan. 476 00:26:31,920 --> 00:26:34,800 Speaker 1: A country that depends on us like European countries depend 477 00:26:34,840 --> 00:26:37,400 Speaker 1: on us with the national security? Why are they putting 478 00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:40,840 Speaker 1: a two hundred percent tariff on rice for example, Why 479 00:26:40,880 --> 00:26:46,600 Speaker 1: is Canada putting these these, you know, ridiculously high tariffs. 480 00:26:46,600 --> 00:26:49,159 Speaker 1: They start out at what five percent you sell x 481 00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:52,120 Speaker 1: amount of dairy goods, which is like done in three weeks, 482 00:26:52,320 --> 00:26:54,040 Speaker 1: and then it's a two hundred, two hundred and fifty 483 00:26:54,080 --> 00:26:58,480 Speaker 1: percent tariff. They're hurting our farmers. They're hurting our dairy farmers, 484 00:26:58,520 --> 00:27:01,639 Speaker 1: they're hurting our pole three people that are hurting everybody. 485 00:27:02,080 --> 00:27:04,960 Speaker 4: Well, there's another element to this. Everything you said is 486 00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:09,000 Speaker 4: absolutely correct, which is now what Trump is basically done 487 00:27:09,080 --> 00:27:11,760 Speaker 4: is laid down the law, which is we are going 488 00:27:11,800 --> 00:27:14,520 Speaker 4: to isolate China because they are. 489 00:27:14,440 --> 00:27:15,159 Speaker 2: The bad actor. 490 00:27:15,280 --> 00:27:18,520 Speaker 4: They are the new evil empire of the twenty first century. 491 00:27:18,560 --> 00:27:21,919 Speaker 4: I think you'd agree with me. I'm at Sean and 492 00:27:22,320 --> 00:27:24,400 Speaker 4: it's going to be interesting to see what these other 493 00:27:24,520 --> 00:27:27,679 Speaker 4: nations that are supposedly our allies do. I mean Japan 494 00:27:27,760 --> 00:27:29,800 Speaker 4: saying well, maybe we'll trade with China. Can you imagine 495 00:27:29,840 --> 00:27:33,399 Speaker 4: anything stupider than that? I mean, China is as to 496 00:27:33,480 --> 00:27:36,120 Speaker 4: the whole region and we're not coming to their rescue. 497 00:27:36,280 --> 00:27:39,320 Speaker 4: China invades them, they if they stick a knife in 498 00:27:39,359 --> 00:27:41,439 Speaker 4: our back. Same thing with the Europeans. I mean, how 499 00:27:41,520 --> 00:27:43,840 Speaker 4: much have we spent on NATO over the last forty years? 500 00:27:43,880 --> 00:27:47,359 Speaker 4: What a trillion dollars? Another thing, well, maybe we'll trade 501 00:27:47,400 --> 00:27:48,440 Speaker 4: with our enemy. 502 00:27:49,920 --> 00:27:53,000 Speaker 1: Okay, if that's their option, maybe they need to take 503 00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:56,360 Speaker 1: a look at the tariffs that China currently has on them. 504 00:27:56,840 --> 00:27:59,440 Speaker 1: So they're going to prefer to make a trade deal 505 00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:01,919 Speaker 1: with China, or China is going to try and bypass 506 00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:05,800 Speaker 1: the US. No, all of them want access to our markets. 507 00:28:06,240 --> 00:28:09,080 Speaker 1: Kinda is not going to be buying European goods the 508 00:28:09,080 --> 00:28:11,760 Speaker 1: way America will. They're not going to be buying Canadian 509 00:28:11,800 --> 00:28:14,639 Speaker 1: products the way America would. That's not really an option. 510 00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:18,320 Speaker 1: You know, it's interesting. Somebody works on my staff. It's Ethan. 511 00:28:18,560 --> 00:28:21,200 Speaker 1: He works on his radio show. He said, you remember 512 00:28:21,240 --> 00:28:24,000 Speaker 1: the nine to eleven Commission report. Quote, they were at 513 00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:26,520 Speaker 1: war with us. We weren't at war with them. For 514 00:28:26,640 --> 00:28:31,119 Speaker 1: fifty sixty years, all these countries have been waging economic 515 00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:35,240 Speaker 1: war against America and ripping us off, and now we're 516 00:28:35,240 --> 00:28:39,640 Speaker 1: fighting back for once. And the reaction is this is outrageous. 517 00:28:39,640 --> 00:28:42,000 Speaker 1: You're supposed to be our ally. Oh you want you 518 00:28:42,080 --> 00:28:44,360 Speaker 1: want this to be a one sided relationship. You get 519 00:28:44,400 --> 00:28:46,240 Speaker 1: what you want, you get to rip us off, but 520 00:28:46,320 --> 00:28:49,040 Speaker 1: we can't retaliate. And then you expect us to pay 521 00:28:49,080 --> 00:28:51,880 Speaker 1: for national defense for you, and you'll come crying to 522 00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:54,840 Speaker 1: us of God forbid you get attacked one day. 523 00:28:55,240 --> 00:28:58,200 Speaker 4: Well, China is not just an economics threat. They're a 524 00:28:58,200 --> 00:29:02,400 Speaker 4: military threat. But every time we invent something, have you 525 00:29:02,440 --> 00:29:06,080 Speaker 4: noticed this? Uh, when whether it's a new microschip or 526 00:29:06,120 --> 00:29:08,200 Speaker 4: a new computer or something, well, the first thing they 527 00:29:08,200 --> 00:29:10,120 Speaker 4: do is Chinese they take all the pictures of it, 528 00:29:10,280 --> 00:29:12,080 Speaker 4: you know, and they just go to their factories and 529 00:29:12,120 --> 00:29:16,120 Speaker 4: they make the same thing. They completely disregard our patent laws. 530 00:29:16,240 --> 00:29:19,240 Speaker 4: I mean, they played by none of the rules that 531 00:29:19,280 --> 00:29:22,760 Speaker 4: are that that lead to innovation, and and it's and 532 00:29:22,800 --> 00:29:24,760 Speaker 4: we do they do that with impunity. 533 00:29:25,160 --> 00:29:29,640 Speaker 1: Yeah, as unbelievable, it really is. How long do you 534 00:29:29,680 --> 00:29:32,400 Speaker 1: think this this goes on until it settles down? 535 00:29:32,440 --> 00:29:33,320 Speaker 3: Here's my prediction. 536 00:29:34,160 --> 00:29:36,960 Speaker 1: Pretty soon, in short order, Donald Trump's going to sign 537 00:29:37,040 --> 00:29:40,160 Speaker 1: Deal number one, then Deal number two, and then Deal 538 00:29:40,240 --> 00:29:44,000 Speaker 1: number three. And I think I think all of a sudden, 539 00:29:44,200 --> 00:29:48,520 Speaker 1: everybody's going to all these you know, uh naysayers going 540 00:29:48,560 --> 00:29:50,000 Speaker 1: to have egg all over their face. 541 00:29:50,080 --> 00:29:51,800 Speaker 3: That's how I see this playing out. 542 00:29:52,400 --> 00:29:54,680 Speaker 4: Exactly the same thing to the Wall Street Journal today 543 00:29:55,000 --> 00:29:57,160 Speaker 4: what I was called by a reporter, it's you remember 544 00:29:57,160 --> 00:29:58,680 Speaker 4: that game he used to play when you're a kid 545 00:29:58,720 --> 00:30:01,720 Speaker 4: called musical chairs. Remember that one, Sean, But the music 546 00:30:01,720 --> 00:30:04,320 Speaker 4: plays and then there's there's twelve people running on there's 547 00:30:04,320 --> 00:30:07,000 Speaker 4: eleven chairs, and then one person's out, and then you know, 548 00:30:07,120 --> 00:30:09,120 Speaker 4: you do it again and again. And that's exactly what 549 00:30:09,160 --> 00:30:12,320 Speaker 4: Trump is doing. And he's saying, these countries, you better 550 00:30:12,360 --> 00:30:14,560 Speaker 4: not be the one who's not sitting at the table, 551 00:30:14,640 --> 00:30:18,000 Speaker 4: you know, the one left standing. And he's using that 552 00:30:18,080 --> 00:30:21,680 Speaker 4: as a very shrewd negotiating tactic. And I agree with you. 553 00:30:21,720 --> 00:30:24,240 Speaker 4: I think it's going to be a stampede over the 554 00:30:24,320 --> 00:30:27,200 Speaker 4: next weeks of companies saying, you know, choose me, choose me, 555 00:30:27,520 --> 00:30:29,800 Speaker 4: just me, because you don't want to be the one 556 00:30:29,840 --> 00:30:32,760 Speaker 4: left out. And the ones that are LaGG roots, they're 557 00:30:32,800 --> 00:30:34,320 Speaker 4: not going to get the As Trump has said this, 558 00:30:34,560 --> 00:30:36,840 Speaker 4: I'm gonna give good deals in the company countries that 559 00:30:36,880 --> 00:30:39,440 Speaker 4: come to the table first. If you're sitting around hemming 560 00:30:39,480 --> 00:30:41,040 Speaker 4: and han, you're not, you're not gonna get a good 561 00:30:41,480 --> 00:30:42,520 Speaker 4: So what do you think they're gonna do. 562 00:30:43,080 --> 00:30:45,360 Speaker 1: I'll tell you a manufacturer, thank you Steve Moore, we 563 00:30:45,440 --> 00:30:47,960 Speaker 1: appreciate you.
