WEBVTT - We're Just Going Willy Nilly 0:00:01.840 --> 0:00:06.120 Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George 0:00:06.200 --> 0:00:10.160 Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty. 0:00:10.160 --> 0:00:17.239 Armstrong and Jettie and he Armstrong and Yetty. 0:00:24.079 --> 0:00:27.280 Nearly one third of Americans think they could pass themselves 0:00:27.360 --> 0:00:28.280 off as British. 0:00:28.720 --> 0:00:30.600 The other two thirds go to the dentist. 0:00:34.120 --> 0:00:37.879 What all right, Hi, y'all do? And we're gonna talk 0:00:37.880 --> 0:00:39.800 immigration a little bit here. There's some new pulling out 0:00:39.840 --> 0:00:42.880 and I got an interesting story about how, in some 0:00:42.960 --> 0:00:47.839 cases definitely going too far in booting people out. I 0:00:47.880 --> 0:00:50.519 don't like hearing those stories because I feel like, to 0:00:50.560 --> 0:00:53.200 a certain extent they cherry picked the worst examples out 0:00:53.200 --> 0:00:55.080 there and blow them up to being the whole thing. 0:00:55.840 --> 0:00:56.400 We do have. 0:00:58.000 --> 0:01:01.600 Key facts out Yeah, we have millions and millions of 0:01:01.600 --> 0:01:03.880 the people here illegally. What do you want to do 0:01:03.920 --> 0:01:07.760 about it? Hey, Congress, do something, write a law or something. 0:01:09.040 --> 0:01:11.520 And they keep going back to what other laws would 0:01:11.560 --> 0:01:13.399 you like to ignore? I mean, if you're okay with 0:01:13.520 --> 0:01:15.200 just letting it stay the way it is, I mean, 0:01:15.240 --> 0:01:16.320 what kind of a system is that? 0:01:17.959 --> 0:01:18.400 Any who. 0:01:18.440 --> 0:01:20.759 Tom Holman, he's a guy that's been leading the charge 0:01:20.800 --> 0:01:24.280 on this for the Trump administration. He got heckled by 0:01:24.280 --> 0:01:26.080 somebody who he's given a speech the other day. He 0:01:26.120 --> 0:01:27.759 said this, If. 0:01:27.640 --> 0:01:30.160 ICE officers are racists for enforcing the law, what's that 0:01:30.200 --> 0:01:31.160 make members of Congress? 0:01:31.200 --> 0:01:32.160 They wrote the damn law. 0:01:32.360 --> 0:01:35.080 If ICE members are racists, the person had screamed, the 0:01:35.080 --> 0:01:36.280 ICE members are racists? 0:01:36.360 --> 0:01:37.919 What the heckle was? Instead? 0:01:37.920 --> 0:01:40.520 If ICE members are racist for enforcing the law, what 0:01:40.640 --> 0:01:42.160 is Congress for writing the law? 0:01:43.040 --> 0:01:43.360 Again? 0:01:44.240 --> 0:01:48.160 What is a government agency that is designed to enforce 0:01:48.280 --> 0:01:51.040 that particular law? I don't know what they're supposed to do. 0:01:52.760 --> 0:01:55.160 It is complicated. And then I just wanted to get 0:01:55.160 --> 0:01:57.360 this on because it's kind of fun. We got Alligator 0:01:57.400 --> 0:02:00.680 Alcatraz down there in Florida. They op it up while 0:02:00.680 --> 0:02:03.120 I was while I was doing my long bike ride 0:02:03.120 --> 0:02:05.680 in the Everglades down in Florida, they were opening up 0:02:05.760 --> 0:02:07.600 just a couple of miles away. It even has a 0:02:07.640 --> 0:02:10.000 sign outside of it says out Alligator Alcatraze. It's a 0:02:10.040 --> 0:02:16.919 big chain link thing, and they're sending detainees illegals, some 0:02:16.960 --> 0:02:19.800 of them probably criminal, bad guys, some of them just 0:02:19.840 --> 0:02:22.880 a gardener who'd been here a long time. I don't know. 0:02:23.400 --> 0:02:26.480 And now you're in a cage surrounded by alligators? Is 0:02:26.480 --> 0:02:27.240 that what we want? 0:02:28.280 --> 0:02:31.480 It's a facility, a cage. What are you aoc over here? 0:02:32.200 --> 0:02:35.680 I saw the pictures and let's say when the pictures 0:02:35.720 --> 0:02:38.040 I saw sure made it look very cage like. 0:02:38.400 --> 0:02:41.600 It's protective to keep the alligators out. Do you want 0:02:41.639 --> 0:02:43.840 these poor people eating in the night? No, you don't. 0:02:43.919 --> 0:02:46.920 It's all about you know how you shade it. Like 0:02:47.120 --> 0:02:48.000 I remember. 0:02:49.880 --> 0:02:51.720 Talking about when my kids were little and you put 0:02:51.760 --> 0:02:55.079 them in a crib, it's a cage. When they're too 0:02:55.120 --> 0:02:57.360 little to climb out, it might as well have a 0:02:57.400 --> 0:03:00.680 lid on it because they're they're physical strength keeps them 0:03:00.680 --> 0:03:01.399 from climbing over. 0:03:01.800 --> 0:03:03.560 You put your kids in a cage at night? 0:03:04.720 --> 0:03:08.640 Right, you do? It's absolutely true? And then I remember 0:03:08.680 --> 0:03:11.880 as they grew to toddlerhood and could scramble out, you asked 0:03:11.880 --> 0:03:14.120 whether it would be ethicalt to put a lid on. 0:03:14.080 --> 0:03:16.400 It, and why wouldn't it be? And you know it 0:03:16.440 --> 0:03:18.799 would not play well in the news. Jack Armstrong, known 0:03:18.800 --> 0:03:23.080 Trump supporter, puts his kids in cages. Cages wouldn't be cool. 0:03:23.600 --> 0:03:25.080 In fact, if you find a kid in a cage, 0:03:25.120 --> 0:03:29.000 it's like a horrifying story. But if they couldn't get 0:03:29.040 --> 0:03:30.960 out of their crib when they were lot, but now 0:03:30.960 --> 0:03:32.240 they can, and you put a lid on it, so 0:03:32.280 --> 0:03:33.120 they still can't get out. 0:03:33.160 --> 0:03:35.640 I don't understand the difference. Anyway, I'm off track here. 0:03:37.360 --> 0:03:39.840 People did send us pictures of old timey cribs, though 0:03:39.880 --> 0:03:41.720 they had lids exactly. 0:03:41.880 --> 0:03:45.839 So this president's got a top on it, so you know, see, 0:03:45.840 --> 0:03:48.720 you don't get out. The top is chained link. Usually 0:03:48.760 --> 0:03:50.440 it's a roof like you're looking like I'm looking at 0:03:50.480 --> 0:03:53.320 it right now. I don't know what's the difference. AnyWho. 0:03:53.440 --> 0:03:56.280 A bunch of Democrats went and looked at Alt Gator Alcatraz, 0:03:56.280 --> 0:03:59.200 and they are horrified about it. Here's Debbie Wasserman Schultz, 0:03:59.200 --> 0:04:00.640 who I've been annoyed by for decades. 0:04:00.640 --> 0:04:05.040 Here she is, there are really disturbing, vile conditions. This 0:04:05.200 --> 0:04:08.680 place needs to be shut the hell down. 0:04:08.960 --> 0:04:11.280 There you go because it's all right? Man? Is she 0:04:11.360 --> 0:04:15.160 an annoying human being? She is utterly dishonest. 0:04:15.520 --> 0:04:18.440 So some new polling came out that is getting a 0:04:18.480 --> 0:04:22.520 fair amount of attention, the lead number being that the 0:04:22.600 --> 0:04:30.279 biggest number ever recorded by Gallup. Think that immigration is 0:04:30.360 --> 0:04:35.560 a good thing. It's now at seventy percent of Americans 0:04:35.600 --> 0:04:38.520 think immigration or I'm sorry, it's a seventy nine percent, 0:04:39.080 --> 0:04:41.840 seventy nine percent, let's call it eighty eighty percent. A 0:04:41.960 --> 0:04:44.520 record high eighty percent of US adults say immigration is 0:04:44.520 --> 0:04:47.040 a good thing for the country. This is being portrayed 0:04:47.080 --> 0:04:49.320 as and it's up from like fifty five a couple 0:04:49.360 --> 0:04:53.000 of years ago. I think what's going on there is 0:04:53.080 --> 0:04:58.839 just people finally coming to the understanding of the difference 0:04:58.880 --> 0:05:02.120 between immigration and illegal immigration. 0:05:02.320 --> 0:05:04.640 We're fine, we took us this long to get here. 0:05:05.560 --> 0:05:09.120 Yeah. I think as it's become a big topic in society, 0:05:09.200 --> 0:05:12.560 more people realize you're supposed to say, Look, I'm in 0:05:12.640 --> 0:05:16.440 favor of immigration, right, it's not illegal immigration. So everybody's 0:05:16.440 --> 0:05:19.760 making clear, yes, it's fine if good, smart, hardworking people 0:05:19.800 --> 0:05:22.719 who we let in want to come here, of course, right. 0:05:22.839 --> 0:05:25.719 And so the news media is trying to continue the 0:05:26.400 --> 0:05:30.200 conflating of the terms by acting like, how could I 0:05:30.360 --> 0:05:34.000 sert the Trump administration being wanting to remove illegals when 0:05:34.000 --> 0:05:37.159 a record eighty percent of Americans. 0:05:36.560 --> 0:05:38.120 Think immigration is a good thing. 0:05:39.279 --> 0:05:45.320 Yeah, legal immigration is a good thing. It's always been popular. 0:05:45.480 --> 0:05:49.440 Legal immigration. The problem we have, I can't even finish 0:05:49.520 --> 0:05:52.320 the sentence. I know, it's just so depressing that it 0:05:52.440 --> 0:05:53.440 is even a topic. 0:05:55.040 --> 0:05:55.840 What do you want to do? 0:05:55.920 --> 0:05:59.640 Discouraging that a distinction that obvious and stupid would have 0:05:59.680 --> 0:06:01.440 to be made over and over again. 0:06:02.040 --> 0:06:05.480 Yeah, and then I thought it was interesting that a 0:06:05.760 --> 0:06:09.679 Pew pole and this is in June. We're in July now, 0:06:09.800 --> 0:06:14.800 but most recent Pew poll found Americans evenly split over 0:06:14.800 --> 0:06:17.880 the administration's use of state and local law enforcement officers 0:06:17.880 --> 0:06:21.680 and its deportation dragnet and all that sort of stuff, 0:06:21.720 --> 0:06:23.760 evenly split as of mid June. 0:06:23.760 --> 0:06:27.680 It might have gone down from there. I don't know, but. 0:06:27.640 --> 0:06:29.120 I wanted to get this story on the Oh, by 0:06:29.120 --> 0:06:30.520 the way, I thought this number was pretty good. 0:06:30.560 --> 0:06:33.479 A plurality of Hispanic adults. 0:06:33.520 --> 0:06:37.880 Thirty nine percent said they wanted immigration levels to decrease, 0:06:40.600 --> 0:06:44.880 only thirty percent of the general public. Significantly more Hispanics 0:06:44.920 --> 0:06:48.440 want immigration to go down than the general public. 0:06:48.440 --> 0:06:50.800 Because they're in the communities and have the jobs that 0:06:50.839 --> 0:06:53.600 are being most affected by the flood of illegals, which 0:06:53.640 --> 0:06:58.040 depress wages. It's amazing how much agreement there is on 0:06:58.080 --> 0:07:02.080 this topic and how normal people are absolutely able to 0:07:02.080 --> 0:07:04.919 make those distinctions that we're talking about. It's really just 0:07:05.080 --> 0:07:08.400 the media and politicians who are trying to, you know, 0:07:09.200 --> 0:07:12.640 get what they want to get, who smear these distinctions 0:07:13.000 --> 0:07:14.840 as if the rest of us don't get it either. 0:07:15.400 --> 0:07:17.560 It's a giant failure of democracy. 0:07:18.880 --> 0:07:23.080 But somebody texts A person I'm friends with texted me 0:07:23.120 --> 0:07:25.840 this story because it's somebody they actually know, and I 0:07:25.840 --> 0:07:31.120 thought this was interesting and worth noting. They now have 0:07:31.160 --> 0:07:34.920 a go fundme going for this, dude, Eric, let me 0:07:34.960 --> 0:07:39.000 read their GoFundMe. Today, Eric was taken by ice. One 0:07:39.000 --> 0:07:41.200 of our best friends, Desiree, and I assume I can 0:07:41.240 --> 0:07:42.520 read this go fund me is are public? 0:07:42.600 --> 0:07:42.760 Right? 0:07:43.280 --> 0:07:46.160 Yeah, one of our best friends, Desiree and Eric are 0:07:46.200 --> 0:07:48.800 in an emergency. What happened today to her husband Eric 0:07:48.920 --> 0:07:51.400 is not justice. It's a devastating failure of a broken 0:07:51.400 --> 0:07:52.320 immigration system. 0:07:52.440 --> 0:07:55.440 Boy. Anybody who denies our system is broken is full 0:07:55.480 --> 0:07:55.680 of it. 0:07:56.320 --> 0:07:58.200 Eric is thirty eight years old and has lived in 0:07:58.240 --> 0:08:02.320 the United States since he was eleven, and he's spent 0:08:02.400 --> 0:08:05.840 over two decades here working, building a life, paying taxes, 0:08:05.880 --> 0:08:09.720 contributing to his community, and showing up every single time 0:08:10.200 --> 0:08:13.320 for his scheduled immigration check ins. And yet during his 0:08:13.400 --> 0:08:16.200 most recent routine check in with ICE, he was suddenly 0:08:16.240 --> 0:08:21.600 taking into custody and is facing deportation because he is 0:08:21.800 --> 0:08:27.080 not a citizen. He had been trying to obtain legal 0:08:27.080 --> 0:08:30.520 citizenship all those decades, showing up till all the things 0:08:30.520 --> 0:08:33.000 you're supposed to show up to, paying taxes, do and 0:08:33.000 --> 0:08:35.520 everything you're supposed to do, and showed up for the 0:08:35.520 --> 0:08:39.599 most recent check in, got apprehended, is now going to 0:08:39.640 --> 0:08:41.560 be deported or at least that looks like the track 0:08:41.600 --> 0:08:43.920 he's on it. And so they have a GoFundMe to 0:08:43.960 --> 0:08:45.520 try to get legal fees to try to fight that. 0:08:45.600 --> 0:08:50.440 But I don't see how you can possibly be think 0:08:50.480 --> 0:08:51.559 that that's a good thing. 0:08:52.480 --> 0:08:55.720 Right right, The only answer would be we're just rounding 0:08:55.720 --> 0:08:59.320 everybody else, everybody up and shipping amount because it's just 0:08:59.400 --> 0:09:02.280 it's too many, it's too complicated, These distinctions would take 0:09:02.400 --> 0:09:06.120 too long, so we're just going blanket. We're just going 0:09:06.200 --> 0:09:10.599 willy nilly. The problem is you'll lose political support in 0:09:10.640 --> 0:09:14.480 a big hurry, and there's always a backlash to excess 0:09:14.800 --> 0:09:17.240 if you go too far in deporting the erics of 0:09:17.280 --> 0:09:23.600 the world. And again, we beat torture and take the 0:09:23.679 --> 0:09:26.040 money from anybody who dares to try to follow the 0:09:26.120 --> 0:09:29.240 rules in our immigration systems. You want to talk about 0:09:29.280 --> 0:09:31.840 mistreatment of people, But anyway, if we go too far, 0:09:31.920 --> 0:09:34.560 there will be a backlash. And this is my argument 0:09:34.600 --> 0:09:39.680 to Magnation and our fellow pro enforcement crowds. If we 0:09:39.760 --> 0:09:42.320 go too far, there will be a backlash and another 0:09:42.440 --> 0:09:44.280 Joe Biden will come in and the border will be 0:09:44.360 --> 0:09:48.040 open again. We've got to at least be semi smart 0:09:48.080 --> 0:09:52.320 about who we deport and how Steven Miller doesn't have 0:09:52.360 --> 0:09:54.440 a sense of that. I don't think I think he's 0:09:54.440 --> 0:09:58.800 an extremist. I appreciate him being there. He's the gas pedal. 0:09:58.960 --> 0:10:01.160 We need to make sure got somebody on the brakes. 0:10:01.240 --> 0:10:04.320 I'm quite sympathetic to the kick them out if they're illegal. 0:10:04.400 --> 0:10:07.679 That's the law. As I've been saying, that's the law. 0:10:08.720 --> 0:10:11.360 It's with a law you don't like it, change the law, right, 0:10:11.960 --> 0:10:14.160 And I get that because an exception. For the erics 0:10:14.160 --> 0:10:17.760 of the world, it's a it's another example of the 0:10:17.840 --> 0:10:21.400 left did something they shouldn't have done, and then when 0:10:21.440 --> 0:10:23.880 you try to get it back to normal, you're the 0:10:23.920 --> 0:10:26.839 bad guy, right, And there's so many examples of it. 0:10:27.000 --> 0:10:30.240 They put porn in your library, and then when you 0:10:30.320 --> 0:10:32.960 try to get it out, you're the book banner. 0:10:34.920 --> 0:10:37.120 Well, Joe Biden, let more. 0:10:38.559 --> 0:10:42.720 A mass migration than has ever happened in human history, 0:10:44.240 --> 0:10:48.360 happen almost entirely illegally, and then when you try to 0:10:48.400 --> 0:10:50.000 fix it, you're the bad guy because how you're going 0:10:50.080 --> 0:10:52.880 to fix it without examples like this guy. 0:10:53.400 --> 0:10:57.920 I don't know. I don't know what. I honestly don't 0:10:57.920 --> 0:10:58.640 know what the answer is. 0:10:58.840 --> 0:11:01.720 I do think the one after the employers seems like 0:11:01.760 --> 0:11:04.360 the best idea. Is that just a non starter, because 0:11:05.640 --> 0:11:10.920 you know, big companies control the Republican Party so much 0:11:11.200 --> 0:11:12.480 and the Democratic Party. 0:11:12.320 --> 0:11:16.120 Both parties. Yeah, yeah, yeah, the Yeah, the super giants 0:11:16.120 --> 0:11:19.880 who depend on that labor are going to quietly behind 0:11:19.920 --> 0:11:21.800 the scenes say uh uh. 0:11:22.080 --> 0:11:24.600 I'm not sure how much different that would be for 0:11:24.679 --> 0:11:27.439 the guy like Eric, he's working somewhere as an illegal. 0:11:27.720 --> 0:11:29.400 If all of a sudden the company said we got 0:11:29.440 --> 0:11:31.560 to let you go, we can't have illegals here anymore, 0:11:31.559 --> 0:11:35.840 they're cracking down, then Okay, I've been here, I've been 0:11:35.880 --> 0:11:39.120 doing this for twenty years. Yeah, now I can't work anymore. 0:11:39.679 --> 0:11:43.199 Well, And there have been solutions that sort of problem 0:11:43.320 --> 0:11:47.440 before was it under the Bush administration? Or look, you've 0:11:47.440 --> 0:11:49.520 been the country x amount of time, you've kept your 0:11:49.559 --> 0:11:52.080 nose clean, you paid your taxes, pay a fine, pay 0:11:52.080 --> 0:11:55.280 this fee, and here's your green card and your path 0:11:55.440 --> 0:11:59.040 citizenship whatever. And and the problem on a lot of 0:11:59.120 --> 0:12:03.000 right America is that every time we say, okay, that 0:12:03.160 --> 0:12:08.160 seems reasonable, that seems fair. Now, let's enforce the security 0:12:08.160 --> 0:12:11.439 at the border and anybody sneaks in illegally with kick 0:12:11.480 --> 0:12:13.880 him out. Okay, okay, sign here, sign here. And then 0:12:13.920 --> 0:12:17.440 a Joe Biden comes in and an Alejandro Mayorcis and 0:12:17.480 --> 0:12:21.559 they lay the border open again with all the horrors 0:12:21.559 --> 0:12:25.679 that have ensued. It's it is again a massive failure 0:12:25.679 --> 0:12:27.199 of bureaucracy. Frustrating. 0:12:27.400 --> 0:12:29.840 So we've been waiting for it to happen. It just did. 0:12:29.960 --> 0:12:32.679 Trump is meeting with the NATO Secretary General and has 0:12:32.679 --> 0:12:34.120 made his big announcement on. 0:12:35.840 --> 0:12:38.920 Back in Ukraine. And we'll have the details next state. 0:12:42.679 --> 0:12:44.959 So Trump was announced we are going to send weapons 0:12:44.960 --> 0:12:49.440 systems to Ukraine. We're not paying for him. We'll figure 0:12:49.480 --> 0:12:51.960 out what all that means when we hear from Trump. 0:12:52.000 --> 0:12:55.920 Coming up next segment, speaking. 0:12:55.600 --> 0:12:59.199 Of deals being made, the best deals in America right now, 0:12:59.360 --> 0:13:04.160 used EVE price is a plunge. I don't borrow people 0:13:04.200 --> 0:13:09.360 to Yeah, I especially want you're cooling electrical vehicle market. 0:13:09.640 --> 0:13:10.400 I don't want. 0:13:10.240 --> 0:13:15.080 To get in trouble for I don't know, can I 0:13:15.080 --> 0:13:17.720 get in trouble for this? The I mean it's true 0:13:17.760 --> 0:13:21.960 for all electric vehicles, but especially your non Tesla electric vehicles. 0:13:22.480 --> 0:13:23.200 I just think it. 0:13:23.800 --> 0:13:26.080 You know, the Rivian's supposed to be a really good car, 0:13:26.240 --> 0:13:29.040 but what makes you think that's going to exist in 0:13:29.120 --> 0:13:31.720 five years? And what's your car gonna be worth then 0:13:32.400 --> 0:13:34.280 when that come? You know, if you want to get 0:13:34.320 --> 0:13:37.960 a new whatever part or anything, right, I just can't 0:13:37.960 --> 0:13:41.920 imagine how they will exist in a few years, any 0:13:41.960 --> 0:13:44.040 of them, but certainly the non Tesla ones. 0:13:44.679 --> 0:13:47.240 Used EV sales top to one hundred thousand for the 0:13:47.240 --> 0:13:49.960 first time in the second quarter of this year, rare 0:13:50.360 --> 0:13:54.559 bright spot for the EV industry, lackluster demand looming elimination 0:13:54.600 --> 0:13:58.040 of federal tax credits. Sales for new evs fell in 0:13:58.160 --> 0:14:04.920 each of the last three months, and used EV prices 0:14:05.280 --> 0:14:09.959 fell nearly thirty two percent from twenty three, twenty twenty 0:14:09.960 --> 0:14:13.600 three to twenty twenty four, nearly thirty two percent. That's 0:14:13.600 --> 0:14:17.200 almost ten times the drop in gas powered car prices, 0:14:17.480 --> 0:14:20.080 according to an automotive research I'm waiting. 0:14:19.840 --> 0:14:22.400 For those lucids that cost a quarter of a million 0:14:22.400 --> 0:14:24.200 dollars to get down to where I can afford one. 0:14:24.200 --> 0:14:25.040 That's the car I want. 0:14:26.240 --> 0:14:27.200 It might be soon. 0:14:27.440 --> 0:14:27.880 Yeah, I know. 0:14:29.080 --> 0:14:32.280 Last year the average TV cost around thirty nine hundred, 0:14:32.280 --> 0:14:34.880 in line with the average used gas car, even though 0:14:35.080 --> 0:14:39.000 new evs sell for seventeen thousand, three hundred dollars more 0:14:39.160 --> 0:14:44.000 than a comparable gas model on average. One thing that's 0:14:44.040 --> 0:14:47.480 interesting is they go into the which saves you more 0:14:47.520 --> 0:14:50.640 money over the course of ownership or over the course 0:14:50.680 --> 0:14:51.080 of a year. 0:14:51.160 --> 0:14:53.640 I've never paid any attention to that. I didn't buy 0:14:53.680 --> 0:14:55.760 an electric car for that, but I guess that was 0:14:55.840 --> 0:15:00.000 originally that was the selling point on electric cars, right, Yeah. 0:15:00.240 --> 0:15:02.760 New electric vehicles cost about eight hundred dollars more a 0:15:02.840 --> 0:15:06.480 year to own than gas powered cars when factoring in fuel, maintenance, insurance, 0:15:06.480 --> 0:15:10.720 and fees, but removing the cost of depreciation results in 0:15:10.760 --> 0:15:13.400 a savings of more than nine hundred annually versus a 0:15:13.440 --> 0:15:17.240 gas car, according to Triple A Data. Huh, so do 0:15:17.280 --> 0:15:20.160 you increde include depreciation? I suppose you should. 0:15:20.720 --> 0:15:24.040 I I'm but serious, Like, if you own a car, 0:15:24.280 --> 0:15:27.120 it could be any kind of car, but the electric 0:15:27.120 --> 0:15:29.200 cars are much more likely to like go out of business. 0:15:29.360 --> 0:15:31.440 If you own a car and that company's completely out 0:15:31.480 --> 0:15:33.840 of business, what is your car worth? I wouldn't think 0:15:33.840 --> 0:15:36.160 it'd be worth hardly anything, because who's going to buy 0:15:36.200 --> 0:15:38.479 a vehicle that that company no longer exists? 0:15:40.080 --> 0:15:40.600 Nobody? 0:15:40.880 --> 0:15:43.400 I would thereby, because where the hell would you take 0:15:43.440 --> 0:15:44.520 it to get? 0:15:44.560 --> 0:15:46.160 If you can have you can. 0:15:46.080 --> 0:15:49.400 Have you know, ev specialists down the street. It's like, 0:15:49.880 --> 0:15:53.200 you know, European car you know specialists doesn't exist yet 0:15:53.200 --> 0:15:56.000 and I don't anticipate it. But the parts is going 0:15:56.040 --> 0:15:59.280 to be the issue damned question. Yeah, yeah, i'd say. 0:15:59.600 --> 0:16:01.680 And the everybody's got their own such. 0:16:01.520 --> 0:16:04.400 Unique software situation. 0:16:04.560 --> 0:16:05.200 Yeah, I don't know. 0:16:05.360 --> 0:16:08.800 I don't know. Speaking of modern products and other economic 0:16:08.880 --> 0:16:12.400 story for you, Chinese vape companies are flooding the market, 0:16:12.880 --> 0:16:17.640 avoiding billions of dollars in tariff duties the Chinese. Keeping 0:16:17.640 --> 0:16:21.160 in mind every company in China is sworn by the 0:16:21.240 --> 0:16:24.080 laws to answer to the Communist Party if they ever 0:16:24.240 --> 0:16:28.080 pick up the phone. Chinese vape companies that manufacture disposable 0:16:28.080 --> 0:16:30.120 e cigarettes are on pace to avoid more than two 0:16:30.280 --> 0:16:34.080 billion dollars in tariffs on the goods this year alone. 0:16:34.640 --> 0:16:37.640 The teriff of agent scheme is possible possible because China 0:16:37.640 --> 0:16:42.040 effectively smuggles disposable vaping devices into the US by mislabeling 0:16:42.080 --> 0:16:47.960 them as toys, electronics, and even shoes. Uh. China exported 0:16:47.960 --> 0:16:50.880 about four billion dollars worth of e cigarettes to the 0:16:50.960 --> 0:16:54.080 US last year. Wow. 0:16:56.920 --> 0:17:03.240 So Trump says one hundred sent tariff on Russia in 0:17:03.760 --> 0:17:06.119 however many days. We'll get to the details on this. 0:17:06.560 --> 0:17:09.600 He's coming strong at Putin. He's tired of Putin jerking 0:17:09.640 --> 0:17:11.360 him around. And we'll get the details coming. 0:17:11.200 --> 0:17:13.800 Up, Neck Armstrong and Getty. 0:17:14.800 --> 0:17:17.800 One of the reasons that you hear today is t 0:17:17.920 --> 0:17:21.639 here that we are very unhappy I am with Russia. 0:17:23.119 --> 0:17:26.680 But we'll discuss that maybe a different day. We're very 0:17:26.720 --> 0:17:29.920 very unhappy with him, and we're going to be doing 0:17:30.080 --> 0:17:32.840 very severe tariffs if we don't have a deal in 0:17:32.920 --> 0:17:36.800 fifty days. A tariff said about one hundred percent, to 0:17:36.920 --> 0:17:38.400 call him secondary tariffs. 0:17:38.400 --> 0:17:42.520 You know what that means? No, Actually I don't. 0:17:43.280 --> 0:17:43.399 So. 0:17:44.240 --> 0:17:48.000 Trump's big announcement that he started teasing on Friday, and 0:17:48.040 --> 0:17:50.119 he got teased by a number of people on the 0:17:50.119 --> 0:17:52.920 talk shows yesterday. Lindsey Graham, he's gonna announce it tomorrow. 0:17:52.960 --> 0:17:54.880 It's gonna be big. I don't want to get ahead 0:17:54.880 --> 0:17:58.199 of it. Lindsey Graham kept saying, I'll let Trump announce this, 0:17:58.240 --> 0:18:00.000 but it's gonna be huge. I mean, it's gonna get 0:18:00.040 --> 0:18:04.400 people's attention. And maybe it is huge. But men, Trump 0:18:04.520 --> 0:18:07.639 laid it out in a very non showmany way for 0:18:07.720 --> 0:18:11.680 a guy who's, you know, a showman. Nobody does show 0:18:11.720 --> 0:18:13.639 biz better than him as a politician, but he just 0:18:13.720 --> 0:18:17.000 kind of dripped and dripped it out in front of 0:18:17.000 --> 0:18:19.640 the fireplace there in the Oval office. Let's hear one 0:18:19.640 --> 0:18:21.359 more Trump clip then we can get into some of 0:18:21.400 --> 0:18:22.000 the details. 0:18:22.359 --> 0:18:23.200 And we've made a. 0:18:23.119 --> 0:18:25.359 Deal today and I'm going to have Mark speak about it, 0:18:25.400 --> 0:18:28.400 but we've made a deal today where we are going 0:18:28.480 --> 0:18:30.879 to be sending them weapons and they're going to be 0:18:30.920 --> 0:18:31.600 paying for them. 0:18:32.600 --> 0:18:33.880 The United States will. 0:18:33.680 --> 0:18:38.560 Not be having any payment made. We're not buying it, 0:18:38.640 --> 0:18:41.040 but we will manufacture it and they're going to be 0:18:41.040 --> 0:18:44.000 paying for it. Our last meeting of a month ago 0:18:44.119 --> 0:18:46.439 is very successful in that they agreed to five percent, 0:18:47.000 --> 0:18:49.119 which is more than a trillion dollars a year. So 0:18:49.160 --> 0:18:51.840 they have a lot of money. And these are wealthy nations. 0:18:52.359 --> 0:18:53.760 They have a lot of money, and they want to 0:18:53.760 --> 0:18:55.560 do it. They feel very strongly about it. 0:18:57.640 --> 0:19:03.840 So Trump promises giant tariffs in do you say fifty days, Yeah, 0:19:03.880 --> 0:19:07.720 if they don't agree to a cease fire. 0:19:07.760 --> 0:19:14.200 Scrolling through the breaking news coverage of this, Lindsey Graham 0:19:14.440 --> 0:19:17.000 has co sponsored to bipartisan bill that would hit the 0:19:17.080 --> 0:19:20.360 Russian economy hard in hopes of pressuring Moscow to end 0:19:20.400 --> 0:19:20.960 the war. 0:19:21.640 --> 0:19:24.600 All right, that's been going on for weeks now, and 0:19:24.600 --> 0:19:26.880 there are eighty other senators signed onto it and they're 0:19:26.920 --> 0:19:28.399 just waiting for Trump to push it. 0:19:28.440 --> 0:19:29.520 But he didn't mention that. 0:19:29.640 --> 0:19:31.800 I thought I kind of thought that that was going 0:19:31.880 --> 0:19:38.480 to be his big announcement today. Yeah, Axios is reporting 0:19:38.600 --> 0:19:46.639 yesterday that the weapons include offensive weapons like rockets or 0:19:46.800 --> 0:19:50.960 missiles that could reach clear to Moscow. But that's a could. 0:19:51.480 --> 0:19:55.600 Trump didn't say for certain, So I don't know. This 0:19:55.760 --> 0:19:59.320 is not as clear cut an announcement as I was 0:19:59.359 --> 0:20:00.719 expecting in the build up. 0:20:01.640 --> 0:20:03.359 Right, Yeah, maybe there's more to come. 0:20:03.400 --> 0:20:05.880 I don't Maybe he's sitting there with the NATO Secretary 0:20:05.960 --> 0:20:09.040 General and Okay, well, I guess that's that for now. 0:20:10.520 --> 0:20:13.320 Did we have we discussed the gen Z stare? Did 0:20:13.320 --> 0:20:15.040 we have that? Did we talk about that already? 0:20:15.480 --> 0:20:16.520 I don't think so. 0:20:17.480 --> 0:20:19.320 I don't remember where I came across this, apparently not 0:20:19.440 --> 0:20:22.159 on this show, but they're just talking about it up 0:20:22.160 --> 0:20:24.520 on ABC. So I thought I would bring this to 0:20:24.560 --> 0:20:26.679 you if you haven't heard about the gen Z stare, 0:20:28.320 --> 0:20:29.680 which I think I agree is a thing. 0:20:30.760 --> 0:20:33.960 The gen some we're talking about a look you get, 0:20:34.000 --> 0:20:36.440 as opposed to a stair that if you put them 0:20:36.440 --> 0:20:38.520 together in a set, you can reach the top story 0:20:38.520 --> 0:20:39.320 of your house. 0:20:39.280 --> 0:20:41.879 A series of steps that allows you to get to 0:20:41.920 --> 0:20:44.000 a higher elevation to a send. 0:20:45.760 --> 0:20:48.040 It's not that kind of stare. S T A r 0:20:48.160 --> 0:20:49.359 E okay. 0:20:50.640 --> 0:20:54.760 The gen Z stair refers to a perceived blank, emotionless 0:20:54.840 --> 0:20:59.320 gaze that some older generations me associate with young people, 0:20:59.359 --> 0:21:01.760 particularly customer service interactions. 0:21:02.840 --> 0:21:05.520 Oh wow, I didn't know it had a name. 0:21:06.520 --> 0:21:08.280
