1 00:00:01,000 --> 00:00:03,120 Speaker 1: All right, thank you, Scott Shannon, and thanks to all 2 00:00:03,120 --> 00:00:05,360 Speaker 1: of you for being with us. Write down our toll 3 00:00:05,440 --> 00:00:08,240 Speaker 1: free telephone number if you want to be a part 4 00:00:08,320 --> 00:00:12,640 Speaker 1: of the program. Linda, what did I say when we 5 00:00:12,640 --> 00:00:16,240 Speaker 1: were in the swamp yesterday and what we did last 6 00:00:16,280 --> 00:00:18,840 Speaker 1: night on hannoned? He was very very important. The timing 7 00:00:18,960 --> 00:00:23,200 Speaker 1: was very very critical because if Republicans, we've only had 8 00:00:23,280 --> 00:00:26,680 Speaker 1: four chances in one hundred years where Republicans have had 9 00:00:26,680 --> 00:00:29,360 Speaker 1: the White House, the House, and the Senate. And this 10 00:00:29,480 --> 00:00:32,280 Speaker 1: reconciliation bill that I've been talking a lot about, I 11 00:00:32,360 --> 00:00:37,080 Speaker 1: know it's somewhat how do I say this is it 12 00:00:37,159 --> 00:00:41,839 Speaker 1: is so swampy in nature that most people don't want 13 00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:44,000 Speaker 1: to even hear it, and I have to explain it 14 00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:47,840 Speaker 1: because it's so complicated and it's so significant. Otherwise we're 15 00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:50,800 Speaker 1: stuck with the Biden Harris economy and we have no 16 00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:52,680 Speaker 1: chance to fix it because you're never going to get 17 00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:56,760 Speaker 1: a single Democrat to go along with President Trump's economic priorities, 18 00:00:56,880 --> 00:00:59,760 Speaker 1: his priorities on security in the border, his priorities on 19 00:00:59,880 --> 00:01:03,840 Speaker 1: end energy dominance, his priority on on Doze, his prior 20 00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:07,520 Speaker 1: priorities on the next generation of weaponry, UH and if 21 00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:09,280 Speaker 1: they don't get this done too, we risk a four 22 00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:12,480 Speaker 1: trillion dollar tax increase because the Trump tax cuts expire 23 00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:18,560 Speaker 1: and through reconciliation with its you know arcane, you know archaic, 24 00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:21,840 Speaker 1: you know rules for the US Senate makes it very 25 00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:26,160 Speaker 1: complicated because it's a way to bypass the sixty vote 26 00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:31,200 Speaker 1: uh margin that's needed for cloture to have a vote, 27 00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:33,920 Speaker 1: and it's it's the one way you can thread a 28 00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:37,640 Speaker 1: needle and get stuff done. That's how the Inflation Reduction 29 00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:40,080 Speaker 1: Act got passed and shoved down our throats. That's how 30 00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:43,840 Speaker 1: that's how Obamacare got shoved down our throat, and and 31 00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:46,480 Speaker 1: we we now have to use this process now. It 32 00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:49,000 Speaker 1: makes it complicated because then the sentence involved anyway. So 33 00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:51,840 Speaker 1: this is a very important time, Linda, What did I 34 00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:56,960 Speaker 1: say yesterday when everybody was panicking as a result of 35 00:01:57,000 --> 00:01:59,040 Speaker 1: the stock market. Now, yesterday, for a big part of 36 00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:01,320 Speaker 1: the day, up until like maybe the last hour hour 37 00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:03,480 Speaker 1: and a half, the stock market had been on the 38 00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:06,480 Speaker 1: positive range. Right now it's up about twenty five hundred 39 00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:08,480 Speaker 1: points today. And I'll explain why in a second. What 40 00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:11,520 Speaker 1: did I say, what happened? How did I tell you 41 00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:12,799 Speaker 1: that this is going to end. 42 00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:17,799 Speaker 2: You said that Trump is a very smart businessman and 43 00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:20,399 Speaker 2: that we should pay attention. You've known him a very 44 00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:22,760 Speaker 2: long time, and that there was going to be big 45 00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:25,200 Speaker 2: news today because things were going to start happening and 46 00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:28,520 Speaker 2: we're going to pivot, and that's exactly what happened. You 47 00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:30,480 Speaker 2: also said that you had to get all these senators 48 00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:33,320 Speaker 2: on board because we can't afford to not support the president. 49 00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:37,360 Speaker 1: Okay, one of the reasons. We were in DC yesterday 50 00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:40,959 Speaker 1: and I spent a lot of time doing a lot 51 00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:43,200 Speaker 1: of things that I'm not going to talk about on 52 00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:46,880 Speaker 1: the air. Now. Did I know this because the President 53 00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:50,320 Speaker 1: told me this? No, he never told me never. I 54 00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:53,000 Speaker 1: just know him and have known him long enough to 55 00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:55,760 Speaker 1: know how he works. What am I talking about? If 56 00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:58,760 Speaker 1: you've been busy all day and you're just getting caught 57 00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:01,040 Speaker 1: up on the news, which, by the way, if you're 58 00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:03,160 Speaker 1: busy working all day, that means we're a great American 59 00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:06,720 Speaker 1: and you're serving your community, you're serving your country in 60 00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:10,480 Speaker 1: some capacity, and you're providing for your family. And I know, 61 00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:13,280 Speaker 1: as some of my closest friends, I don't know, my 62 00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:16,080 Speaker 1: whole life doesn't revolve around your four hours a day. 63 00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:18,679 Speaker 1: I tried, but my whole life doesn't revolve around it. 64 00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:20,240 Speaker 1: I'm like, gee, thanks a lot. What kind of friend? 65 00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:25,160 Speaker 1: Are you? Not a good friend? Anyway? So Trump puts 66 00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:28,600 Speaker 1: this out today, and this is what I knew eventually 67 00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:33,200 Speaker 1: would happen. You see what Donald Trump and and remember 68 00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:37,640 Speaker 1: the state run legacy media mob never wants to ever 69 00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:42,440 Speaker 1: understand Donald Trump. They are obsessed with hating Donald Trump. 70 00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:46,240 Speaker 1: You know, if the dog bites the beast things, if 71 00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:50,800 Speaker 1: you're feeling sad, they're still gonna hate Trump and blame Trump. 72 00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:55,600 Speaker 1: If he cured cancer, they would still hate Trump. These 73 00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:59,920 Speaker 1: idiots on that hard hitting ABC Disney show, The View 74 00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:03,680 Speaker 1: where they have that idiot you know, dressed up in 75 00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:07,040 Speaker 1: blackface in the past and a guy that puts cucumbers 76 00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:09,520 Speaker 1: in his or whatever in his pants and has women 77 00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:12,200 Speaker 1: touching it with both hands and feeling it. Jimmy Kimmel. 78 00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:19,360 Speaker 1: By the way, Bob Biger, do you approve that? What's that? Linda? Okay? 79 00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:22,200 Speaker 1: They can get over that. And you know they've got 80 00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:25,000 Speaker 1: the dumbest idiots, no wonder why this network is just 81 00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:29,120 Speaker 1: going down the tubes. And you know, does Bob Biger 82 00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:33,080 Speaker 1: approve that message? You know, these idiot geniuses there's a 83 00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:35,400 Speaker 1: story out today which I've found very interesting before I 84 00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:37,680 Speaker 1: get to the View, is that the Ladies of the 85 00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:41,839 Speaker 1: View had not had a single conservative, not one. I 86 00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:43,960 Speaker 1: wonder why they're asking me to be on. I mean, 87 00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:47,520 Speaker 1: I guess maybe they're just desperate. I'm not sure, but anyway, 88 00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:52,680 Speaker 1: these they didn't have a single let's see, not a 89 00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:55,120 Speaker 1: I'm looking for my media package here, so oh here 90 00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:59,119 Speaker 1: it is the media Matters and I'm sorry, media matters, 91 00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:04,000 Speaker 1: media research they call it. ABC News made a big 92 00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:06,960 Speaker 1: deal this. If you invited zero right leaning guests in 93 00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:09,800 Speaker 1: the first three months of twenty twenty five, that's pretty funny. 94 00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:12,680 Speaker 1: I don't think they can get them. I mean, they 95 00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:14,480 Speaker 1: did reach out to me after I said to Steve 96 00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:16,240 Speaker 1: and a Smith they used to invite me on that show. 97 00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:18,840 Speaker 1: I don't go every inviting me on in years. And 98 00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:21,240 Speaker 1: then I did a poll and thank goodness, I won 99 00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:24,239 Speaker 1: fifty one forty nine. When I put up a poll 100 00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:26,240 Speaker 1: because Linda was pushing me to do the show, I 101 00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:28,480 Speaker 1: didn't want to do it. That is not true. 102 00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:30,360 Speaker 2: I wasn't pushing you to do the show. 103 00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:31,680 Speaker 1: What I said, well pushing me. 104 00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:36,680 Speaker 2: What I said was it would be interesting to have 105 00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:40,440 Speaker 2: a conversation with people and see if there was an 106 00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:44,600 Speaker 2: ability when the cameras are rolling to have a real conversation. 107 00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:48,159 Speaker 2: Of course, I'm not expecting that to actually happen, but 108 00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:50,480 Speaker 2: it would be nice because you're very good at debate, 109 00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:53,920 Speaker 2: you're very calm, and joy and whoopee are losing their 110 00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:55,720 Speaker 2: marbles no matter. I mean, you could say God bless 111 00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:56,640 Speaker 2: you when they're going to get mad. 112 00:05:57,360 --> 00:05:59,520 Speaker 1: So it would have been interesting. But Ka got so 113 00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:03,920 Speaker 1: out of control with Rosy o'donnello mey. The poor Barbara Walters, 114 00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:06,280 Speaker 1: God rest her soul. Well, I actually liked him, was 115 00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:09,039 Speaker 1: always very nice to me. You know, she could not 116 00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:12,880 Speaker 1: do a thing about it. Nothing anyway, Joyless this morning. 117 00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:15,039 Speaker 1: I'll play it later on the program saying, oh, Trump's 118 00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:18,240 Speaker 1: tariff plan has been to intentionally destroy the country so 119 00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:21,280 Speaker 1: his billionaire friends can swoop in and buy everything low 120 00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:24,039 Speaker 1: and he can become a dictator. This is how nuts 121 00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:27,960 Speaker 1: they are, Bob Iger, Mickey Mouse, ABC Disney, do you 122 00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:31,919 Speaker 1: approve this message? Tonny Houston countries are not going to 123 00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:34,280 Speaker 1: be able to depend on a country that every four 124 00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:38,359 Speaker 1: years could elect a dictator. These people are nuts and 125 00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:41,200 Speaker 1: it goes all day long on that network. No nobody 126 00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:43,520 Speaker 1: watches that network. I am telling you I get the 127 00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:47,440 Speaker 1: ratings every day. You know that Hannity is on all 128 00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:51,400 Speaker 1: of television unless there's like a big sporting event like 129 00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:55,360 Speaker 1: Monday night. You know, we're like one in all of television. 130 00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:59,600 Speaker 1: Two not just cable or three. The show hand and 131 00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:01,559 Speaker 1: by the way, thank you to all of you that watch, 132 00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:05,640 Speaker 1: and you've made that possible. Not me. I mean, who 133 00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:07,719 Speaker 1: would have thought when Fox News went on the air 134 00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:10,840 Speaker 1: twenty nine years ago that those would be these networks 135 00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:14,560 Speaker 1: would deteriorate to these levels. Why because they lie. Then 136 00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:18,400 Speaker 1: they put idiots like Jimmy kimmelan in blackface mocking Carl 137 00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:22,920 Speaker 1: Malone or you know in his previous life, you know, 138 00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:26,440 Speaker 1: putting you know, strange items in his pants and having 139 00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:29,760 Speaker 1: unknown women and telling them to come up and touch 140 00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:32,920 Speaker 1: his crotch, you know, for ten seconds with both hands 141 00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:35,560 Speaker 1: and see if they can tell what's in there. I mean, 142 00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:38,480 Speaker 1: that's the guy that you know, bob Byger you hire 143 00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:41,440 Speaker 1: that guy? Did Mickey Mouse hired that guy who hired 144 00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:44,200 Speaker 1: that guy? And his ratings suck and he's officially on 145 00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:47,720 Speaker 1: cancelation watch as is the view. You know, Harris Faulkner 146 00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:51,720 Speaker 1: is beating the view on Fox News. How cool is that? 147 00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:55,000 Speaker 1: I love it? Anyway, A long drawn out way of saying. 148 00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:59,360 Speaker 1: They don't care about knowing understanding Donald Trump, and I 149 00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:02,280 Speaker 1: knowing him. I had no insider information. I'm going to 150 00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:05,280 Speaker 1: be very very clear about this, I said to Linda 151 00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:09,800 Speaker 1: will Mark my words, because the country, the list of 152 00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:14,680 Speaker 1: countries that were on record reaching out wanting trade deals, 153 00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:18,640 Speaker 1: wanting free and fair deals that recognize that we have 154 00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:24,040 Speaker 1: been ripped off, taken advantage of, totally screwed over and 155 00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:28,080 Speaker 1: been abused all these years, and other presidents have allowed 156 00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:30,480 Speaker 1: it to happen for forty or fifty years. Trump is 157 00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:33,560 Speaker 1: the only one to take it on that he's going 158 00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:38,400 Speaker 1: to create an off ramp, which he did twenty six 159 00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:41,480 Speaker 1: hundred on the down. Now he's going to and he's 160 00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:46,600 Speaker 1: going now. He has created an environment which every country 161 00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:50,360 Speaker 1: knows that he meant what he said. Every country knows 162 00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:53,160 Speaker 1: that he's in a position of strength, and if they 163 00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:57,319 Speaker 1: don't deal with him, it's gonna happen again. And then 164 00:08:57,360 --> 00:09:01,960 Speaker 1: because China doubled down on dumb, dumb and stupid, because 165 00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:04,800 Speaker 1: they need access to our markets just like and This 166 00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:08,120 Speaker 1: was what the President was betting on every country, the EU. 167 00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:15,079 Speaker 1: You're you know, all the European Asia, Great Britain, uh India, Japan, Taiwan, 168 00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:18,800 Speaker 1: South Korea, and even China. In the end, I predict 169 00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:21,760 Speaker 1: will come around. They need access to our markets and 170 00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:26,839 Speaker 1: your money, or else they're screwed. Their manufacturing starts to tank, 171 00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:32,000 Speaker 1: their economy start to tank, their workers start rebelling, their 172 00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:36,040 Speaker 1: their their citizens start getting angry. And Trump bet on 173 00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:39,199 Speaker 1: American strength to get this deal done. And now he's 174 00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:42,840 Speaker 1: gonna Now he's free to negotiate. It was as predictable 175 00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:45,440 Speaker 1: if you know and watch this man as the day 176 00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:48,400 Speaker 1: is long. This was not complicated to figure out. I'd 177 00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:50,960 Speaker 1: like to tell you I'm a genius. I'm not. The 178 00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:53,960 Speaker 1: reason I didn't tell this publicly is because I wanted 179 00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:56,480 Speaker 1: it to play out. I didn't want to get in 180 00:09:56,520 --> 00:10:01,360 Speaker 1: the way of of what was a a position of 181 00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:05,680 Speaker 1: strength that the President was taking. Again, no insider knowledge here, 182 00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:09,320 Speaker 1: just knowing, observing this guy, and he sends out this 183 00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:11,640 Speaker 1: truth post today based on the lack of respect that 184 00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:14,000 Speaker 1: China has shown to the world markets. I'm here by 185 00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:17,600 Speaker 1: raising the tariff charged to China by the United States 186 00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:20,920 Speaker 1: to one hundred and twenty five percent, effective immediately. At 187 00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:23,720 Speaker 1: some point, hopefully in the near future, China will realize 188 00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:26,800 Speaker 1: that the days of ripping off the USA and other 189 00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:31,360 Speaker 1: countries is no longer sustainable or acceptable. Conversely, and based 190 00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:33,840 Speaker 1: on the fact that more than seventy five countries have 191 00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:38,120 Speaker 1: called representatives of our country of the United States, including 192 00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:42,320 Speaker 1: the Departments of Commerce, Treasury, the USTR, to negotiate a 193 00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:47,640 Speaker 1: solution to the subjects being discussed relative to trade, trade barriers, tariffs, 194 00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:53,400 Speaker 1: currency manipulation, non monetary tariffs, and that these countries have not, 195 00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:58,360 Speaker 1: at my strong suggestion, retaliated in any way, shape, matter 196 00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:01,520 Speaker 1: of form against the United States. I have authorized a 197 00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:05,439 Speaker 1: ninety day pause and a substantially lowered reciprocal tariff during 198 00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:09,280 Speaker 1: this period of ten percent, also effective immediately. Thank you 199 00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:13,160 Speaker 1: for your attention to this matter. Let the negotiations begin. 200 00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:18,080 Speaker 1: This is what American strength is all about. Why we 201 00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:22,560 Speaker 1: have allowed our country to be a sucker nation. Why 202 00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:26,400 Speaker 1: we have been allowed ourselves to be abused by friend 203 00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:30,240 Speaker 1: and foe alike. Why they have taken advantage of us 204 00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:34,800 Speaker 1: and we've allowed it is unconscionable. You know, why are 205 00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:39,160 Speaker 1: we allowing other countries that desperately depend on us for 206 00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:43,319 Speaker 1: their national security to turn around and then stab us 207 00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:47,840 Speaker 1: in the back with these high tariffs. Example EU. You know, 208 00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:52,400 Speaker 1: all these countries ten percent tariffs on American auto manufacturers. Okay, 209 00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:55,520 Speaker 1: then you add the value add attacks like Germany and 210 00:11:55,559 --> 00:11:58,880 Speaker 1: other countries have and okay, so that's thirty percent above 211 00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:01,600 Speaker 1: sticker price. No wonder. We sell no cars in Germany, 212 00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:04,720 Speaker 1: but they sell you know, ten cars to our one car. 213 00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:07,080 Speaker 1: You know, they sell their cars in the US because 214 00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:08,800 Speaker 1: we only have a two and a half percent tariff 215 00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:12,199 Speaker 1: on them. Okay, that's got to end. There's got to 216 00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:16,120 Speaker 1: be either free and fair trade. There's got to be also. 217 00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:19,199 Speaker 1: If not, you're gonna choose reciprocal tariffs, the choice will 218 00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:22,320 Speaker 1: be yours. But there are other issues that need to 219 00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:26,560 Speaker 1: be dealt with as well. You know, when you talk 220 00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:30,240 Speaker 1: about tariffs of that tax of value add attacks and 221 00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:34,040 Speaker 1: national sales tax, that is a tariff that makes it 222 00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:36,800 Speaker 1: that much harder to sell an American car because you're 223 00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:40,160 Speaker 1: adding twenty percent to the sticker price. We're not doing 224 00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:44,120 Speaker 1: that to them. And these countries are guilty of currency manipulation, 225 00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:48,199 Speaker 1: non monetary tariffs. As I said, and that these countries, 226 00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:51,320 Speaker 1: you know, we're smart enough not to get into a 227 00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:53,880 Speaker 1: fight or pick a fight with Trump. And I agree 228 00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:57,520 Speaker 1: with Kevin O'Leary, the hell with China. If China wants 229 00:12:57,600 --> 00:12:59,920 Speaker 1: this fight, great, he said, clobber than with a four 230 00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:04,000 Speaker 1: one hundred percent tariff. It's time to squeeze, you know, 231 00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:08,040 Speaker 1: Chinese heads into the wall. Now he's not wrong. Heritage 232 00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:12,080 Speaker 1: Foundation released a study over the weekend revealed China's shipbuilders 233 00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:15,160 Speaker 1: were able to produce over a thousand commercial military vessels 234 00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:20,600 Speaker 1: last year. American shipbuilders shipbuilders built ten ships. Let me 235 00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:23,720 Speaker 1: tell you something. You know, all the critics of President 236 00:13:23,760 --> 00:13:26,800 Speaker 1: Trump and his tariffs, how much longer are you going 237 00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:30,280 Speaker 1: to take being abused and taken advantage of and being 238 00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:34,360 Speaker 1: ripped off without being willing to take a little bit 239 00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:38,200 Speaker 1: of pain? And I know everybody was freaking out. I 240 00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:40,960 Speaker 1: was very aware of it. I'm very sympathetic towards it 241 00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:44,960 Speaker 1: because it's people's savings and they don't know the eventual outcome. 242 00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:48,080 Speaker 1: But I was betting on American strength and I was 243 00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:51,400 Speaker 1: betting that the President was right, that they want access 244 00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:55,760 Speaker 1: to our markets. And it's just the beginning of negotiations. 245 00:13:56,440 --> 00:13:58,640 Speaker 1: It was a brilliant strategy on the part of the 246 00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:01,679 Speaker 1: President and a huge win his part, and the stock 247 00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:05,079 Speaker 1: market's nearly up twenty seven one hundred points today, two 248 00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:09,199 Speaker 1: seven hundred points today. It's you know, everybody freaked out 249 00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:11,800 Speaker 1: over nothing. And I was saying that at the time. 250 00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:13,360 Speaker 1: I didn't want to go too deep in the pain. 251 00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:15,560 Speaker 1: I didn't know for sure what he would do. But 252 00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:19,280 Speaker 1: knowing his brain, he's in a never ending, perpetual state 253 00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:22,600 Speaker 1: of negotiation. That's just how he rolls. And he doesn't 254 00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:25,080 Speaker 1: like America getting ripped off, and neither do I, and 255 00:14:25,160 --> 00:14:28,920 Speaker 1: neither should anybody. And the biggest beneficiary in all this 256 00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:34,920 Speaker 1: is going to be American manufacturers, American automakers, American cattle ranchers, 257 00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:41,000 Speaker 1: American produce and dairy farmers. They're going to everyone will benefit, 258 00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:43,880 Speaker 1: working men and women. Now, the people that work on 259 00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:46,120 Speaker 1: Wall Street, they make money when it goes up, they 260 00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:47,920 Speaker 1: make it when it goes down. Don't let him fool 261 00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:51,000 Speaker 1: you now, God forbid of you and your family are 262 00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:54,840 Speaker 1: in a situation. This is a dangerous world. You feel threatened, ideally, 263 00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:56,600 Speaker 1: you talk your way out of it. You back up, 264 00:14:56,640 --> 00:14:59,360 Speaker 1: you walk away, you run away. Whatever you have to do, okay, 265 00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:03,600 Speaker 1: Plan B twenty five Now until the top of the hour, 266 00:15:03,640 --> 00:15:05,600 Speaker 1: eight hundred and nine to FOURT one Sean, you want 267 00:15:05,640 --> 00:15:07,600 Speaker 1: to be a part of the program, don't forget only 268 00:15:07,640 --> 00:15:10,600 Speaker 1: a few more days. What is today's day, the eighth, Linda, 269 00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:16,680 Speaker 1: we have today, tomorrow, Well, today's the ninth, So we 270 00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:19,840 Speaker 1: have today, tomorrow and Friday. Less. 271 00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:23,120 Speaker 2: People have today half of the day today. And let 272 00:15:23,160 --> 00:15:25,520 Speaker 2: me just tell you, people showed up yesterday. We were 273 00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:28,440 Speaker 2: getting crossed yesterday with people entering the contest. 274 00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:32,520 Speaker 1: I wish I could bring people behind the scenes of 275 00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:36,400 Speaker 1: why I went to Washington yesterday. It's just there's certain 276 00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:40,160 Speaker 1: things that you know in my work, in my job, 277 00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:43,920 Speaker 1: and I allude to certain things that I know are 278 00:15:44,760 --> 00:15:49,680 Speaker 1: public information. But more importantly, this is a very critical 279 00:15:49,720 --> 00:15:53,360 Speaker 1: time in Washington, it really is. And anyway for these 280 00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:55,080 Speaker 1: senators to get together. We're going to play some of 281 00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:57,680 Speaker 1: it later in the program. And getting this reconciliation bill 282 00:15:57,760 --> 00:16:00,800 Speaker 1: done is very very important. You're not going to get 283 00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:05,640 Speaker 1: everything you want in part because of reconciliation the process itself. 284 00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:08,280 Speaker 1: Now this is April. We just got to get to 285 00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:12,640 Speaker 1: October and then we have the first Trump budget and 286 00:16:12,680 --> 00:16:14,720 Speaker 1: they'll be able to go line by line through every 287 00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:18,360 Speaker 1: department if it still exists, and get to the budget 288 00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:20,720 Speaker 1: they want. But this will preserve the tax cuts. This 289 00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:26,120 Speaker 1: will bring in no tax on tips, overtime social Security. 290 00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:31,160 Speaker 1: This will also unleash the President's energy dominance program. This 291 00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:34,360 Speaker 1: will help Tom Homan and Christy nom out big time 292 00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:37,680 Speaker 1: in terms of securing the border number one and keeping 293 00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:40,960 Speaker 1: it secure and number two, deporting all these people that 294 00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:45,160 Speaker 1: didn't respect our laws, borders and sovereignty. This is this 295 00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:47,760 Speaker 1: is going to help, you know, the Department of Defense 296 00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:50,400 Speaker 1: and the next generation of weaponry, knowing that the world 297 00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:53,360 Speaker 1: is a very very dangerous place and we can't we 298 00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:57,320 Speaker 1: can't stand idly by, you know, with our hands tied 299 00:16:57,360 --> 00:17:00,440 Speaker 1: behind our back. And it's going to help dosee, you know, 300 00:17:00,520 --> 00:17:04,119 Speaker 1: weed out waste, fraud, abused corruption. That is going to continue, 301 00:17:04,119 --> 00:17:06,920 Speaker 1: whether Elon must stays past one hundred and thirty days 302 00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:10,080 Speaker 1: or not. I mean, as a non government employee, there's 303 00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:12,880 Speaker 1: usually a deadline on that, but there is some ambiguity 304 00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:14,800 Speaker 1: to it, but we'll see. If nothing else, he will 305 00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:17,960 Speaker 1: have set in motion with this process to continue, which 306 00:17:18,040 --> 00:17:20,719 Speaker 1: I'm very happy about. And I guess that's why he's 307 00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:22,880 Speaker 1: hated so much. But anyway, back to the Tesla contest. 308 00:17:23,119 --> 00:17:26,000 Speaker 1: If you go to Hannity dot com today, tomorrow, and Friday, 309 00:17:26,080 --> 00:17:28,240 Speaker 1: you last three days.

His technology is so amazing. 331 00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:37,400 Speaker 1: It's a modern, completely wireless cooking thermometer. It eliminates any 332 00:18:37,520 --> 00:18:40,919 Speaker 1: chance you'll screw it up. It eliminates any chance of undercooking, 333 00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:43,680 Speaker 1: any chance of overcooking, no matter how you cook it. 334 00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:47,560 Speaker 1: It can withstand temperatures up to a thousand degrees fahrenheit. 335 00:18:48,119 --> 00:18:51,159 Speaker 1: And it's called chef i Q Sense. It's so simple 336 00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:54,359 Speaker 1: to use.

And then you 338 00:18:57,400 --> 00:18:59,840 Speaker 1: just open up the chef i q app, which can 339 00:18:59,880 --> 00:19:03,399 Speaker 1: be indicates with the wireless probe and yes it's healthy, 340 00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:07,280 Speaker 1: no risk. I mean, it's so silly anyway, And you 341 00:19:07,280 --> 00:19:09,280 Speaker 1: pick all right, I want it medium, rare, I want 342 00:19:09,280 --> 00:19:11,960 Speaker 1: it medium, or maybe you're insane and want it well done, 343 00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:13,760 Speaker 1: which I think is nuts. But if you want it 344 00:19:13,760 --> 00:19:15,399 Speaker 1: well done, it'll make it well done. I'll tell you 345 00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:17,359 Speaker 1: when you when to turn your meat over, tell you 346 00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:21,159 Speaker 1: when your meat's done. It'll eliminate any risk. When you 347 00:19:21,160 --> 00:19:23,399 Speaker 1: cook for your friends, your family, your neighbors, they're going 348 00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:25,080 Speaker 1: to think you went to culinary school and want you 349 00:19:25,119 --> 00:19:27,000 Speaker 1: to cook every time, which in my case, I love 350 00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:30,040 Speaker 1: because it keeps me busy and I'm not trapped having 351 00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:32,439 Speaker 1: to talk to people for hours on end, which I 352 00:19:32,560 --> 00:19:35,640 Speaker 1: get quickly bored. True of falls Linder. 353 00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:40,080 Speaker 2: You you have the attention span of a net Not true. 354 00:19:40,119 --> 00:19:42,240 Speaker 1: I'm dialed in and focused like a laser b when 355 00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:42,840 Speaker 1: I'm doing the show. 356 00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:44,760 Speaker 2: I didn't say you weren't focused. I just was like, 357 00:19:44,800 --> 00:19:46,160 Speaker 2: you know, if you get bored, you're out. 358 00:19:46,880 --> 00:19:50,120 Speaker 1: If I get bored, them out, can't help it anyway. 359 00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:53,760 Speaker 1: Just go to chefiq dot com. It's a very low price. 360 00:19:54,160 --> 00:19:56,520 Speaker 1: You'll save it additional fifteen percent of checkout when you 361 00:19:56,600 --> 00:19:59,960 Speaker 1: use the promo code, Hannity, that's chefiq dot com two day. 362 00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:06,159 Speaker 1: I'm just loving the reaction of stupid people, all of 363 00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:11,280 Speaker 1: these people that have been trying to create in other 364 00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:15,400 Speaker 1: people's minds that Donald Trump does not know what he's doing. 365 00:20:15,600 --> 00:20:19,679 Speaker 1: He's going to create a world economic crash and Donald Trump, 366 00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:24,120 Speaker 1: you know, it's like whiplash. What are they gonna say tomorrow? Oh, 367 00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:27,920 Speaker 1: he was forced to do this. No. As a matter 368 00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:31,280 Speaker 1: of fact, the Treasury Secretary of descent just confirmed what 369 00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:34,240 Speaker 1: I had pretty much understood because I know the guy 370 00:20:34,320 --> 00:20:37,720 Speaker 1: so well. This was the plan all along. I've been 371 00:20:37,760 --> 00:20:40,399 Speaker 1: saying this. I said it to Linda, sweet Baby James 372 00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:44,199 Speaker 1: yesterday in DC. I said, he's just he's lining up 373 00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:48,280 Speaker 1: all these nations, one after another after another, to the 374 00:20:48,320 --> 00:20:50,960 Speaker 1: point where they're begging to do a deal with us. 375 00:20:51,440 --> 00:20:54,240 Speaker 1: He has laid out the he's laid out the history 376 00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:58,160 Speaker 1: of America being ripped off and taken advantage of. It's 377 00:20:58,160 --> 00:21:02,280 Speaker 1: a compelling case. And we provide for the national defense, 378 00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:05,199 Speaker 1: we pay more for NATO. We don't teriff them the 379 00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:08,400 Speaker 1: way they've been tariffing us. They've been taking advantage of us, 380 00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:14,840 Speaker 1: downright abusing us, meaning America, the American consumer, and American manufacturers. 381 00:21:15,280 --> 00:21:19,760 Speaker 1: They have hurt our ranchers, our farmers, are automakers, They've 382 00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:23,119 Speaker 1: hurt everybody. And now the President said, okay, now that 383 00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:28,080 Speaker 1: you got the message that I'm serious, now we can negotiate, 384 00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:31,000 Speaker 1: and they'll be negotiating from a position of strength. Now. 385 00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:34,880 Speaker 1: The President also wants to talk about other issues, currency manipulation, 386 00:21:35,080 --> 00:21:39,160 Speaker 1: trade barriers, non monetary tariffs. I we got to deal 387 00:21:39,160 --> 00:21:42,480 Speaker 1: with the vattax in the European Union. I mean, he 388 00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:45,200 Speaker 1: was not wrong in saying that the whole European Union 389 00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:48,919 Speaker 1: designed to screw us. And if they think that they're 390 00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:51,240 Speaker 1: going to get by without the US, good luck with them. 391 00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:53,880 Speaker 1: You know, go out on your own. They want access 392 00:21:53,920 --> 00:21:57,720 Speaker 1: to your money, they want access to our markets. They're 393 00:21:57,840 --> 00:22:01,119 Speaker 1: ready to make a deal and the President will be fair. 394 00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:04,080 Speaker 1: But the President is not going to allow this country 395 00:22:04,080 --> 00:22:07,399 Speaker 1: to get ripped off anymore. This is not that complicated. 396 00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:10,640 Speaker 1: This has been you know. I got to give kudos 397 00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:14,560 Speaker 1: to Mark Pennell used to be the poster for Bill Clinton. 398 00:22:15,080 --> 00:22:17,000 Speaker 1: He had an article in Today's New York Post that 399 00:22:17,040 --> 00:22:21,320 Speaker 1: a reactions off the Wall undo market panic, he called it. 400 00:22:21,680 --> 00:22:24,640 Speaker 1: He said, it's time for Wall Street to get a grip. 401 00:22:25,160 --> 00:22:28,760 Speaker 1: This is a Democrat writing noess. The Trump tariff policies 402 00:22:28,800 --> 00:22:32,560 Speaker 1: are a calculated gamble that the threat of tariffs can 403 00:22:32,600 --> 00:22:37,440 Speaker 1: fundamentally remake the global economy and retilt it in the 404 00:22:37,520 --> 00:22:40,240 Speaker 1: direction of the United States and away from China and 405 00:22:40,359 --> 00:22:44,639 Speaker 1: other beggar thy neighbor countries, he calls them. But whether 406 00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:47,480 Speaker 1: or not, whether they work or not. Wall Street elites 407 00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:52,040 Speaker 1: have convinced themselves that tariffs are worse than the pandemic 408 00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:55,359 Speaker 1: that stopped the entire economy, or the two thousand and 409 00:22:55,400 --> 00:22:58,200 Speaker 1: eight economic crisis that put ten million people out of work. 410 00:22:58,480 --> 00:23:02,280 Speaker 1: And so far nothing has even happened. It's all speculation 411 00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:07,119 Speaker 1: about what could happen, and Wall Street regularly overreacts on 412 00:23:07,200 --> 00:23:10,600 Speaker 1: both the upside and the downside. But in judging the 413 00:23:10,640 --> 00:23:13,680 Speaker 1: potential impact of the Trump tariffs, you know, the first 414 00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:17,399 Speaker 1: place to look a basic math, he went on to say. 415 00:23:17,840 --> 00:23:20,399 Speaker 1: And he said, these tariffs, if it acted, would be 416 00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:23,000 Speaker 1: only a small part of the US economy, no more 417 00:23:23,040 --> 00:23:26,000 Speaker 1: than about one percent of our economic activity. And if 418 00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:29,600 Speaker 1: they weren't acted, the money would not go into corporate 419 00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:33,720 Speaker 1: profits put into the US treasury about three hundred billion 420 00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:35,440 Speaker 1: a year. I actually think that number is low. I 421 00:23:35,440 --> 00:23:38,880 Speaker 1: think it would be higher. The United States has an 422 00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:42,520 Speaker 1: annual GDP of twenty eight trillion. We are the world's 423 00:23:42,600 --> 00:23:45,400 Speaker 1: largest importer, but that's because we have the number one 424 00:23:45,440 --> 00:23:48,479 Speaker 1: economy in the world by far relative to our size. 425 00:23:48,560 --> 00:23:53,440 Speaker 1: In part, imports are much smaller percentage than most people think. 426 00:23:54,280 --> 00:23:56,359 Speaker 1: Thank God, we have a few people out there with 427 00:23:56,440 --> 00:24:02,160 Speaker 1: a brain it is so frustrating. The communist Chinese launched, 428 00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:07,960 Speaker 1: you know, this racist, humiliating humiliation campaign mocking Trump tariffs. 429 00:24:07,960 --> 00:24:10,520 Speaker 1: They had an AI generated video believed to have been 430 00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:17,160 Speaker 1: created by some TikToker depicting a depressing, depressing America under 431 00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:20,679 Speaker 1: Donald Trump's tariffs. Yeah, guess who gets the last laugh today? 432 00:24:21,359 --> 00:24:24,199 Speaker 1: And let me tell you where China's gonna head. China, 433 00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:29,399 Speaker 1: I promise you listen closely to me, is freaking out now. 434 00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:34,000 Speaker 1: Why because China needs access to our markets, they want 435 00:24:34,040 --> 00:24:37,639 Speaker 1: your money too, and they're gonna have to come to 436 00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:41,480 Speaker 1: the table. And this is a win win strategy to 437 00:24:41,600 --> 00:24:44,360 Speaker 1: negotiate trade deals. The other person that got it right 438 00:24:44,880 --> 00:24:49,200 Speaker 1: Art Laugher, smart guy who's on Stuart Varney Show anyway. 439 00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:52,240 Speaker 1: He came after Steve Moore wrote an opinion piece, a 440 00:24:52,320 --> 00:24:54,920 Speaker 1: win win exit strategy for Trump on tariffs that was 441 00:24:54,960 --> 00:24:56,680 Speaker 1: published in the Wall Street Journal. There are a few 442 00:24:56,760 --> 00:24:59,439 Speaker 1: people that get it, people that we usually use on 443 00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:02,359 Speaker 1: this program. Is the reason we have certain guests that 444 00:25:02,400 --> 00:25:05,000 Speaker 1: we have. But what he's done now is he's gotten 445 00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:08,200 Speaker 1: them in a position where they're going to lose their 446 00:25:08,280 --> 00:25:12,040 Speaker 1: access to the US market if they don't redress these 447 00:25:12,080 --> 00:25:16,120 Speaker 1: types of inequities that they've done. And Art Laffer worked 448 00:25:16,160 --> 00:25:18,960 Speaker 1: in the Reagan administration as an economic advisor, and he 449 00:25:18,960 --> 00:25:22,520 Speaker 1: said Trump is a master negotiator. And I'm watching these 450 00:25:22,560 --> 00:25:25,440 Speaker 1: people calling into Trump. This is exactly what he does 451 00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:29,280 Speaker 1: beautifully and wonderfully. And I believe he can negotiate freer 452 00:25:29,320 --> 00:25:33,119 Speaker 1: trade deals, get those tariffs way way down, much lower 453 00:25:33,119 --> 00:25:37,120 Speaker 1: than they are now by primarily those people lowering their 454 00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:41,479 Speaker 1: tariffs and US keeping ours low or even going lower. 455 00:25:41,760 --> 00:25:45,520 Speaker 1: It'll be a win win. This is what we've been 456 00:25:45,560 --> 00:25:47,960 Speaker 1: telling you. What happen now. It might be a little 457 00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:49,880 Speaker 1: hiccup in ninety days. I don't know. Some of these 458 00:25:49,920 --> 00:25:54,240 Speaker 1: countries may be stupid, and by being stupid, I would 459 00:25:54,240 --> 00:25:57,639 Speaker 1: define stupid. As you know, they might agree to you 460 00:25:57,680 --> 00:25:59,560 Speaker 1: and think, oh he gave in, Oh he didn't like 461 00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:02,480 Speaker 1: what was happening on the stock market. Okay, if that's 462 00:26:02,520 --> 00:26:05,920 Speaker 1: your bet, don't make the wrong bet. But I'm telling 463 00:26:05,920 --> 00:26:09,360 Speaker 1: you you're betting on a losing horse. Ten year treasury 464 00:26:09,440 --> 00:26:13,920 Speaker 1: yields spiked higher as Trump tariffs continued. Anyway, it jumped 465 00:26:13,960 --> 00:26:16,600 Speaker 1: ten basis points to four point three sixty three percent. 466 00:26:16,680 --> 00:26:18,359 Speaker 1: Now I'm going to say something to you and I 467 00:26:18,359 --> 00:26:21,800 Speaker 1: don't give out economic advice. Talk to your financial advisor 468 00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:26,480 Speaker 1: if you don't have the stomach for the stock market 469 00:26:26,920 --> 00:26:33,439 Speaker 1: and the topsy turvy, frankly inexplicable ups and downs of 470 00:26:33,480 --> 00:26:35,960 Speaker 1: the market. By the way, it's up twenty eight hundred 471 00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:38,560 Speaker 1: points today. Oh what are they going to do on 472 00:26:38,840 --> 00:26:45,480 Speaker 1: fake new CNN, ABC, NBC, CBS and MSDNC. It is unbelievable. 473 00:26:45,920 --> 00:26:49,119 Speaker 1: The only country that was stupid enough to put reciprocal 474 00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:53,040 Speaker 1: tariffs in place was China, and they got whacked. You know. 475 00:26:53,240 --> 00:26:57,359 Speaker 1: JP Morgan's Jamie Diamond over a sessionated it in probably 476 00:26:57,480 --> 00:27:03,600 Speaker 1: the coming inherited a recession, didn't officially get it into 477 00:27:03,640 --> 00:27:07,160 Speaker 1: recession territory. As far as I'm concerned, it was by 478 00:27:07,200 --> 00:27:09,760 Speaker 1: every definition, we're paying everything. It's going to take a 479 00:27:09,760 --> 00:27:11,320 Speaker 1: lot to get this economy. That's why I went to 480 00:27:11,359 --> 00:27:14,480 Speaker 1: Washington yesterday. But this we've got to get this reconciliation 481 00:27:14,560 --> 00:27:18,760 Speaker 1: bill done. You know it's you know, CNBC, by the way, 482 00:27:18,800 --> 00:27:21,520 Speaker 1: that's like the worst network to watch for economic dos 483 00:27:21,560 --> 00:27:24,600 Speaker 1: They have really dumb people. There's a couple of smart people, 484 00:27:24,680 --> 00:27:27,200 Speaker 1: but the rest of them are pretty dumb. Jim Kramer 485 00:27:27,240 --> 00:27:29,600 Speaker 1: is an idiot. I'm just telling you, I would you 486 00:27:29,640 --> 00:27:31,200 Speaker 1: do what you want? You want to take advice from 487 00:27:31,240 --> 00:27:34,440 Speaker 1: Jim Kramer, Good luck with that. He predicted Black Monday 488 00:27:34,920 --> 00:27:37,400 Speaker 1: for this week didn't quite work out the way he predicted. 489 00:27:37,760 --> 00:27:39,680 Speaker 1: He's the one that said, I'm selling all my crypto 490 00:27:39,720 --> 00:27:42,480 Speaker 1: getting out. Now it's going to go in the tank. Okay, 491 00:27:42,600 --> 00:27:45,800 Speaker 1: a genius. I'm really gonna listen to that guy. No, 492 00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:50,119 Speaker 1: thank you.
