1 00:00:01,000 --> 00:00:04,080 Speaker 1: All right, So let's start with the big story, and 2 00:00:04,160 --> 00:00:07,600 Speaker 1: that is obviously tariffs and what is happening in the market. 3 00:00:08,240 --> 00:00:11,040 Speaker 1: If you looked at the close of the market, it 4 00:00:11,160 --> 00:00:14,960 Speaker 1: is very clear that the clothes that we have witnessed 5 00:00:15,040 --> 00:00:19,319 Speaker 1: on Thursday is a number that is shocked everybody. It's 6 00:00:19,600 --> 00:00:24,200 Speaker 1: Dow was down one thousand, six hundred and seventy nine points. 7 00:00:24,200 --> 00:00:27,639 Speaker 1: That's almost four percent of the total value. That was 8 00:00:27,680 --> 00:00:31,240 Speaker 1: not good for anybody. We can all agree on that. 9 00:00:31,680 --> 00:00:34,720 Speaker 1: There's also the reality that this will allow for some 10 00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:38,320 Speaker 1: great buys out there, and many people are actually talking 11 00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:41,559 Speaker 1: about doubling down because they know this is temporary and 12 00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:44,360 Speaker 1: not going to be a long term thing. Now we're 13 00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:46,680 Speaker 1: gonna hit pause on the markets very second. I'm gonna 14 00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:48,800 Speaker 1: come back and deal with them, and let's go and 15 00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:52,360 Speaker 1: actually deal with a policy, because if we just cover 16 00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:54,920 Speaker 1: the markets and the sky is falling, chicken little, and 17 00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:57,480 Speaker 1: you don't understand what's happening, then you're going to fall 18 00:00:57,520 --> 00:01:00,480 Speaker 1: into the liberal media and exactly what they want you 19 00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:02,600 Speaker 1: to say, Oh, is this what a red wave is? 20 00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:05,240 Speaker 1: That's one of the things trending with liberals. They're putting 21 00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:08,679 Speaker 1: up the picture of all the red on Wall Street 22 00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:10,160 Speaker 1: and they're like, Oh, I guess this is what a 23 00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:13,440 Speaker 1: red wave is, right, Like, you're an idiot in an 24 00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:16,440 Speaker 1: imbecile if that is how simplistic you're looking at this 25 00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:19,479 Speaker 1: terrif fight in what's going on in the world. Let's 26 00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:23,399 Speaker 1: go to what Donald Trump actually said. Trump said he 27 00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:25,880 Speaker 1: was not doing full reciprocal tariffs. 28 00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:26,440 Speaker 2: Number one. 29 00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:28,640 Speaker 1: He said that would have been tough for a lot 30 00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:30,920 Speaker 1: of countries. But what he is trying to do is 31 00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:34,160 Speaker 1: get us back to a fair playing field. With so 32 00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:38,000 Speaker 1: many countries that have tariffs on us, many Americans don't 33 00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:40,200 Speaker 1: even know that they're actually out there. 34 00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:41,000 Speaker 2: That's number one. 35 00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:45,399 Speaker 1: Number two, this is a smart strategy if it is 36 00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:48,520 Speaker 1: short term and not a long term and we go 37 00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:49,720 Speaker 1: into a full tariff war. 38 00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:52,040 Speaker 2: Now, can America outlast this? Yes? 39 00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:54,440 Speaker 1: Are there a lot of countries that can't handle the 40 00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:56,760 Speaker 1: pain that we can handle in this country? The entwer 41 00:01:56,840 --> 00:02:00,200 Speaker 1: is yes. If you're cashing out all your stocks, that 42 00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:02,200 Speaker 1: would be a dumb decision. If you're cashing out your 43 00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:03,800 Speaker 1: four to one K today, that'd be a dumb decision. 44 00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:06,280 Speaker 1: We've seen ups and downs in the markets. This is 45 00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:09,120 Speaker 1: where it's very clear. I'm not even opening my portfolio 46 00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:11,040 Speaker 1: today because this is not a real number. To me 47 00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:13,960 Speaker 1: that matters at this moment. I don't need this money 48 00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:16,600 Speaker 1: right now. I've seen multiple ups and downs, and what 49 00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:19,320 Speaker 1: I know is I'm investing for twenty years from now. 50 00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:24,040 Speaker 1: I'm actually just texted before I started the show my 51 00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:27,160 Speaker 1: finance advisor said, Hey, there's some cheap buys out there. 52 00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:30,560 Speaker 1: Can we meet tomorrow. I want to get in on 53 00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:33,640 Speaker 1: some different things. So there's some undervalued stocks from this. 54 00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:36,960 Speaker 1: There's opportunity. I'm going to take advantage of that. My 55 00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:39,720 Speaker 1: point is you can't just look at this as a 56 00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:42,880 Speaker 1: one day crisis and do the freak out, which is 57 00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:45,840 Speaker 1: exactly what the media is hoping is going to happen. 58 00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:48,560 Speaker 1: There is also an interesting point that was made by 59 00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:50,560 Speaker 1: center Ted Cruz, and I'm going to play that for 60 00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:53,239 Speaker 1: you in just a second. You've heard me talk about 61 00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:55,920 Speaker 1: Patriot Mobile for a long time now, and you probably 62 00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:58,840 Speaker 1: already know that for years, they've stood in the gap 63 00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:01,760 Speaker 1: for every American that leaves that freedom as worth fighting for. 64 00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:04,480 Speaker 1: They are the real deal. So let me ask you 65 00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:07,560 Speaker 1: a question. Have you switched to Patriot Mobile yet? 66 00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:07,799 Speaker 2: Now? 67 00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:09,919 Speaker 1: If the answer is no, then I got to ask 68 00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:13,440 Speaker 1: you this question. Why are you worried about coverage? 69 00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:14,040 Speaker 2: Don't be. 70 00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:17,600 Speaker 1: Patriot Mobile is one of the few cell phone providers 71 00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:21,240 Speaker 1: out there that actually operate on all three of the 72 00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:23,240 Speaker 1: major networks. 73 00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:23,480 Speaker 2: In this country. 74 00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:25,920 Speaker 1: The fact is, if you have a cell phone service 75 00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:28,480 Speaker 1: right now, you're going to get the same coverage you 76 00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:32,920 Speaker 1: used to or even better coverage with Patriot Mobile. That's 77 00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:36,600 Speaker 1: why they offer a coverage guarantee that other companies don't 78 00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:39,520 Speaker 1: or can't offer. Or maybe you haven't joined Patriot Mobile 79 00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:42,240 Speaker 1: because you think that making the switch is painful. 80 00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:44,880 Speaker 2: I'm here to tell you it's not. In fact, it's easy. 81 00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:47,560 Speaker 1: No need to spend hours in a retail store waiting 82 00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:51,880 Speaker 1: your turn.

All right, So 105 00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:04,280 Speaker 1: let me play for you what was said by Ted 106 00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:07,159 Speaker 1: Kruz when he was reacting to what's going on with 107 00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:09,440 Speaker 1: these tariffs. Because I think it's a very important point 108 00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:11,560 Speaker 1: that's being made, and it's a point that I think 109 00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:13,120 Speaker 1: a lot of Americans are going to agree with. 110 00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:14,120 Speaker 2: Take a listen. 111 00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:16,320 Speaker 3: Now on the tax cuts. You may, I don't know, 112 00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:19,320 Speaker 3: have you heard any of the show because of mister 113 00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:23,760 Speaker 3: Trump's reciprocity policy that he announced yesterday. The White House 114 00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:28,000 Speaker 3: is saying there could be six hundred billion dollar revenues 115 00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:32,800 Speaker 3: from the tariffs. I am proposing that dials revenues be 116 00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:37,159 Speaker 3: put into the Budget resolution and the Reconciliation bill, and 117 00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:40,800 Speaker 3: that you cut taxes even more to help the middle 118 00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:44,160 Speaker 3: class who have been shouldering the burden of falling real 119 00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:47,479 Speaker 3: wages for about twenty five years because of unfair and 120 00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:51,000 Speaker 3: unjust trading practices. If you have six hundred billion dollars, Senator, 121 00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:53,320 Speaker 3: if those are the estimates, I mean, now, ten years 122 00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:54,640 Speaker 3: is a gigantic number. 123 00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:55,919 Speaker 2: We need a fresh rent. 124 00:05:56,600 --> 00:06:00,360 Speaker 3: You need tax cuts, middle class tax cuts, corporate tax chut's. 125 00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:04,120 Speaker 3: I mean, I'm calling it a tariff dividend for taxpayers. 126 00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:06,160 Speaker 3: What do you think? I want you to carry this 127 00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:07,120 Speaker 3: ball for. 128 00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:11,039 Speaker 4: Me, So, Larry, you know I'm always in favor of 129 00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:14,280 Speaker 4: more tax cuts and bigger tax cuts, and I'm fighting 130 00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:17,680 Speaker 4: to make this tax cut as big and bold as possible. Look, 131 00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:20,120 Speaker 4: I think it is a mistake to assume that we 132 00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:22,159 Speaker 4: will have high tariffs and perpetuity. 133 00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:24,480 Speaker 5: I don't think that would be good economic policy. 134 00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:28,159 Speaker 4: I am not a fan of tariffs and the announcement yesterday. Look, 135 00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:30,359 Speaker 4: time is going to tell in the next month or two. 136 00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:31,679 Speaker 5: Or three what happens. 137 00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:34,960 Speaker 4: If the result of yesterday's announcement is a lot of 138 00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:38,719 Speaker 4: our trading partners across the globe dramatically reduce the tariffs 139 00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:42,080 Speaker 4: they charge on US goods and services, and the consequence 140 00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:45,840 Speaker 4: of that is the US government dramatically cuts the tariffs 141 00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:48,760 Speaker 4: that were announced yesterday, that would be a great outcome. 142 00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:50,080 Speaker 5: That would be good for America. 143 00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:54,039 Speaker 4: If the result is our trading partners jack up their 144 00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:56,680 Speaker 4: tariffs and we have high tariffs everywhere, I. 145 00:06:56,640 --> 00:06:58,799 Speaker 5: Think that is a bad outcome for America. 146 00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:01,720 Speaker 4: Tariffs are a tax on consumers, and I'm not a 147 00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:04,640 Speaker 4: fan of jacking up taxes on American consumers. So my 148 00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:08,440 Speaker 4: hope is these tariffs are short lived and they serve 149 00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:11,280 Speaker 4: as leverage to lower tariffs across the globe. 150 00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:13,360 Speaker 2: Now I agree with cinner Cruz here. 151 00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:16,280 Speaker 1: If they're done right and this is short term, this 152 00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:19,320 Speaker 1: is a smart decision. It's also already having an impact 153 00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:21,880 Speaker 1: on companies bringing jobs back to America. 154 00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:24,640 Speaker 2: Let me give you a perfect example of that proof. 155 00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:27,800 Speaker 1: General Motors has just announced they are going to expand 156 00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:32,320 Speaker 1: their production at their Indiana plant thanks to Trump's auto tariffs. 157 00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:37,800 Speaker 1: GM announcing today that its plant in Indiana is going 158 00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:41,960 Speaker 1: to expand because of the tariffs on foreign made cars. 159 00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:45,520 Speaker 1: Trump announced a twenty five percent tariff on all foreign 160 00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:48,920 Speaker 1: made cars to protect the nation's auto industry from quote 161 00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:53,360 Speaker 1: unfair trade competition. GIM executives said they will increase production 162 00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:56,520 Speaker 1: of light neuty trucks at their automaker's Fort Wayne assembly 163 00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:57,640 Speaker 1: plant in Indiana. 164 00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:00,360 Speaker 2: According to the exclusive report from. 165 00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:04,640 Speaker 1: Reuters Today, the Detroit automaker may also add overtime days 166 00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:08,280 Speaker 1: to schedule. The plant director told employees in a webcast, 167 00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:12,040 Speaker 1: saying the move will increase employment there with the hiring 168 00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:16,800 Speaker 1: of several hundred new workers. This is after, by the way, 169 00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:20,640 Speaker 1: the United Auto Workers Knows. The UAW have praised Trump's 170 00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:23,480 Speaker 1: auto tariffs as a necessary tool to end the nation's 171 00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:27,840 Speaker 1: decade long free trade policy that has devastated. 172 00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:30,680 Speaker 2: American auto workers and the industry. Quote. 173 00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:33,920 Speaker 1: We applaud the Trump administration for stepping up to end 174 00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:37,880 Speaker 1: the free trade disaster that devastated the working class communities 175 00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:41,679 Speaker 1: in America for decades. Ending the race to the bottom 176 00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:45,320 Speaker 1: in the auto industry starts with fixing our broken trade deals, 177 00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:49,360 Speaker 1: and the Trump administration has made history with their actions. Now, 178 00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:53,160 Speaker 1: this again goes back to any time you have something 179 00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:56,640 Speaker 1: that has to change that is way off course, whether 180 00:08:56,679 --> 00:09:00,240 Speaker 1: it's in your personal life, for business life, or in 181 00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:04,520 Speaker 1: the government, it is going to be hard at the beginning. 182 00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:07,160 Speaker 1: We've seen this with Doge and all the pushback. We've 183 00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:09,280 Speaker 1: seen this with law Fair and all the pushback. I mean, 184 00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:12,360 Speaker 1: the list is long here, and so what I think 185 00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:16,280 Speaker 1: is important is to say, all right, is Donald Trump 186 00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:17,400 Speaker 1: right in what he's saying. 187 00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:20,560 Speaker 2: I believe he is. If it is a. 188 00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:23,240 Speaker 1: Short term thing and not a long term thing, then 189 00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:25,440 Speaker 1: this is something that we can all agree is a 190 00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:28,240 Speaker 1: good thing. Now, if it goes on for too long 191 00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:31,360 Speaker 1: or it starts a really long trade war, it's something 192 00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:33,560 Speaker 1: that we can all say, hey, we got to ask 193 00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:36,960 Speaker 1: questions about. We get careful with it as the way 194 00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:40,400 Speaker 1: that Center Cruz described it. But overall, right now, the 195 00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:43,360 Speaker 1: way that this is working out, it is clear that 196 00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:48,720 Speaker 1: America has the advantage. Now, let me play for you 197 00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:51,640 Speaker 1: what Donald Trump actually said, because there's been a lot 198 00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:55,200 Speaker 1: of misinformation out there, and what Trump said when he 199 00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:59,040 Speaker 1: announced these full all right, I should say these reciprocal 200 00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:03,560 Speaker 1: tariffs that were not full reciprocal tariffs. And Donald Trump 201 00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:05,600 Speaker 1: went down the list. He asked for the list, they 202 00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:07,600 Speaker 1: brought it up. You're gonna hear him ask for that, 203 00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:09,240 Speaker 1: and I want you to hear what Trump had to 204 00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:11,920 Speaker 1: say in his own words. I'm not gonna edit this 205 00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:13,160 Speaker 1: because I think it's important. 206 00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:14,920 Speaker 2: This is a big issue. 207 00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:16,720 Speaker 1: And I want you to hear the President explain this 208 00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:18,000 Speaker 1: to everyone. 209 00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:24,000 Speaker 6: The tariffs will be not a full reciprocal I could 210 00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:26,880 Speaker 6: have done that, yes, but it would have been tough 211 00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:28,680 Speaker 6: for a lot of countries who didn't want to do that. 212 00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:30,600 Speaker 6: I'd like to see the chart. If you have it, 213 00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:34,959 Speaker 6: could you bring it up? Howard. This is our great 214 00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:39,120 Speaker 6: Secretary of Commerce, Howard Lutnick. Thanks. 215 00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:39,199 Speaker 7: So. 216 00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:47,000 Speaker 6: If you look at that China first row, China, sixty 217 00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:53,000 Speaker 6: seven percent, that's tariffs charged to the USA, including currency 218 00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:57,200 Speaker 6: manipulation and trade barriers, so sixty seven percent. I think 219 00:10:57,200 --> 00:10:59,360 Speaker 6: you can, for the most part see it. Those with 220 00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:02,160 Speaker 6: good eyes bad eyes. We didn't want to bring it's 221 00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:03,920 Speaker 6: very windy out here. We didn't want to bring out 222 00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:08,079 Speaker 6: the big charge because it had no chance of standing. Fortunately, 223 00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:12,199 Speaker 6: we came armed with a little smaller charge. So sixty 224 00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:15,400 Speaker 6: seven percent. So we're going to be charging a discounted 225 00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:18,800 Speaker 6: reciprocal tariff of thirty four percent. I think. In other words, 226 00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:21,280 Speaker 6: they charge us, we charge them, we charge them less. 227 00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:24,480 Speaker 6: So how can anybody be upset? They will be because 228 00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:27,920 Speaker 6: we never charge anybody anything. But now we're gonna charge 229 00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:32,840 Speaker 6: European Union. They're very tough, very very tough traders. Uh 230 00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:36,839 Speaker 6: you know you think of European Union, very friendly. They 231 00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:40,760 Speaker 6: rip us off. It's so sad to see, it's so pathetic. 232 00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:44,320 Speaker 6: Thirty nine percent. We're gonna charge them twenty percent, so 233 00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:49,520 Speaker 6: we're charging them potentially half Vietnam great negotiators, great people. 234 00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:50,720 Speaker 6: They like me. 235 00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:51,360 Speaker 5: I like them. 236 00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:54,360 Speaker 6: The problem is they charge is ninety percent. We're gonna 237 00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:58,959 Speaker 6: charge them forty six percent tariff. Taiwan where they make. 238 00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:03,040 Speaker 6: They took all of our computer chips and semiconductors. We 239 00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:05,920 Speaker 6: used to be the king, right, we were everything. We 240 00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:08,440 Speaker 6: had all of it. Now we have almost none of it. 241 00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:10,760 Speaker 6: Except the biggest company is coming in. They're gonna have 242 00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:13,440 Speaker 6: We're gonna end up with almost forty percent. Lee Zelden's 243 00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:16,160 Speaker 6: working to get their approvals and it's. 244 00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:17,200 Speaker 2: An amazing company. 245 00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:20,959 Speaker 6: Mister way of one of the great companies of the world. Actually, 246 00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:23,200 Speaker 6: they're coming in from Taiwan and they're going to build 247 00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:25,480 Speaker 6: one of the biggest plants in the world, maybe the 248 00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:28,599 Speaker 6: biggest for that, but sixty four percent, we're going to 249 00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:34,080 Speaker 6: charge them thirty two percent. Japan very very tough, great people. 250 00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:37,160 Speaker 6: And again I don't blame the people for doing it. 251 00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:38,920 Speaker 6: It's I think they're very smart to do it. I 252 00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:41,240 Speaker 6: blame the people that sat right in that Oval office, 253 00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:44,880 Speaker 6: right over there, right behind the resolute desk, whichever desk 254 00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:49,440 Speaker 6: they chose. Japan forty six percent, they would charge us 255 00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:53,160 Speaker 6: forty six percent, and much higher for certain items like cars, 256 00:12:53,559 --> 00:12:56,800 Speaker 6: you know, little items like cars, forty six percent. We're 257 00:12:56,880 --> 00:13:01,280 Speaker 6: charging them twenty four percent. India very very, very very tough. 258 00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:06,000 Speaker 6: The Prime Minister just left. He's a great friend of mine, 259 00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:08,560 Speaker 6: but I said, you're a friend of mine, but you're 260 00:13:08,559 --> 00:13:11,520 Speaker 6: not treating us right. They charged us fifty two percent. 261 00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:13,680 Speaker 6: You have to understand, we charge them almost nothing for 262 00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:18,240 Speaker 6: years and years and decades, And it was only seven 263 00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:21,720 Speaker 6: years ago when I came in. We started with China 264 00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:24,800 Speaker 6: charged that we took in hundreds of billions of dollars 265 00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:31,360 Speaker 6: from China in tariffs and they understood. Honestly, Presidency understood. 266 00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:33,800 Speaker 6: He said, look, I understand, and the other countries and 267 00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:36,280 Speaker 6: they all understand. We're gonna have to go through a 268 00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:39,640 Speaker 6: little tough love maybe, but they all understand they're ripping 269 00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:44,160 Speaker 6: us off, and they understood it. Prime Minister of Japan, 270 00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:50,000 Speaker 6: Shinzo was Shinzo Abbi. He was a fantastic man. He 271 00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:54,840 Speaker 6: was unfortunately taken from US assassination. But I went to 272 00:13:54,920 --> 00:13:58,040 Speaker 6: him and I said, Shinzo, we have to do something. 273 00:13:58,080 --> 00:14:01,080 Speaker 6: A trade is not fair. He said, I know that. 274 00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:04,120 Speaker 6: I know that, and he was a great gentleman. He 275 00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:09,640 Speaker 6: was a fantastic man. But he understood immediately what I 276 00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:11,960 Speaker 6: was talking about. I said, Shinzo, we have to do something. 277 00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:14,640 Speaker 6: He said, I know that, and we've worked out a 278 00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:15,559 Speaker 6: deal and it would have. 279 00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:16,480 Speaker 2: Been a much better deal. 280 00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:19,400 Speaker 6: But frankly, there were many years left in the deal 281 00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:21,440 Speaker 6: that was made previous to my getting there, but it 282 00:14:21,480 --> 00:14:26,040 Speaker 6: was it was something if you look at Switzerland sixty 283 00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:30,600 Speaker 6: one percent to thirty one percent, Indonesia, Malaysia, Cambodi. Who 284 00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:34,080 Speaker 6: look at Cambodia in ninety seven percent, we're going to 285 00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:36,360 Speaker 6: bring it down to forty nine. They made a fortune 286 00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:39,560 Speaker 6: with the United States of America, United Kingdom ten percent, 287 00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:43,360 Speaker 6: and we'll go ten percent. So we'll do the same thing. 288 00:14:44,520 --> 00:14:48,600 Speaker 6: South Africa, oh, sixty percent, thirty percent, and they've got 289 00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:51,880 Speaker 6: some bad things going on in South Africa. You know, 290 00:14:51,920 --> 00:14:55,240 Speaker 6: we're paying them billions of dollars that we cut the 291 00:14:55,280 --> 00:14:57,560 Speaker 6: funding because a lot of bad things are happening in 292 00:14:57,600 --> 00:14:59,720 Speaker 6: South Africa. The fake newso to be looking at it, 293 00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:03,240 Speaker 6: they don't, I want to report it. Brazil ten percent, 294 00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:07,720 Speaker 6: ten percent, Bangladesh is seventy four percent, so you see 295 00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:13,440 Speaker 6: what's going on. Pakistan fifty eight percent, Sri Lanka eighty 296 00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:14,120 Speaker 6: eight percent. 297 00:15:14,640 --> 00:15:15,480 Speaker 2: So what we're. 298 00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:17,960 Speaker 6: Doing is we're taking not the full we could take 299 00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:19,160 Speaker 6: the full eighty eight percent. 300 00:15:19,840 --> 00:15:22,200 Speaker 1: By the way, you noticed what Donald Trump is saying here, 301 00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:24,160 Speaker 1: And the reason why I played that for you un 302 00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:26,880 Speaker 1: interrupted is because I wanted you to actually hear his logic. 303 00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:28,400 Speaker 1: You just heard him say the part about we could 304 00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:29,520 Speaker 1: have gone the full eighty eight percent. 305 00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:30,840 Speaker 2: We didn't. We win forty four. 306 00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:36,880 Speaker 1: So if you're upset that Trump is doing this, then 307 00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:39,680 Speaker 1: the question you should be asking yourself is, Okay, why 308 00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:43,640 Speaker 1: are you upset? Because of the instant gratification of now, 309 00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:46,680 Speaker 1: are you understanding that the President's trying to do something, 310 00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:50,360 Speaker 1: which is stop countries from taking advantage of us. That 311 00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:52,800 Speaker 1: is something, by the way, the White House Press secretary 312 00:15:53,160 --> 00:15:55,880 Speaker 1: set on CNN today. They didn't like it, Okay, they 313 00:15:55,920 --> 00:16:00,480 Speaker 1: were upset that she set it. Caroline Levitt talking about 314 00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:02,480 Speaker 1: the trade deficit that we're trying to correct. 315 00:16:02,920 --> 00:16:04,880 Speaker 2: Listen to what she said on CNN. 316 00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:05,880 Speaker 5: To anyone on. 317 00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:08,880 Speaker 8: Wall Street this morning, I would say, trust in President Trump. 318 00:16:09,080 --> 00:16:11,360 Speaker 8: This is a president who is doubling down on his 319 00:16:11,520 --> 00:16:16,240 Speaker 8: proven economic formula. From his first term. We saw wages increase, 320 00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:19,800 Speaker 8: we saw inflation come down, we had a Trump energy boom, 321 00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:22,600 Speaker 8: we had the largest tax cuts in history. And that's 322 00:16:22,640 --> 00:16:25,800 Speaker 8: exactly what the President intends to do following his historic 323 00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:30,360 Speaker 8: announcement yesterday. For reciprocal terists, it's the Golden Aid rule 324 00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:33,320 Speaker 8: for the Golden Age of America, and the United States 325 00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:35,840 Speaker 8: of America is no longer going to be cheated by 326 00:16:35,880 --> 00:16:39,160 Speaker 8: foreign nations around the world. And as the President declared yesterday, 327 00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:42,680 Speaker 8: this is indeed a national emergency. We have a one 328 00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:46,200 Speaker 8: point two trillion dollar trade deficit in counting. We've had 329 00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:50,080 Speaker 8: ninety thousand factories closed in the last couple of decades. 330 00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:52,840 Speaker 8: Since nineteen ninety seven, Americans have been put out of 331 00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:57,560 Speaker 8: five million manufacturing jobs. These are not just statistics. These 332 00:16:57,560 --> 00:17:00,600 Speaker 8: are real American lives that have been impact and it's 333 00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:03,160 Speaker 8: about time we have a president who actually does something 334 00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:06,040 Speaker 8: about it. This is going to restore more wealth, more jobs, 335 00:17:06,080 --> 00:17:09,320 Speaker 8: more economic prosperity to our great country. 336 00:17:09,720 --> 00:17:12,320 Speaker 2: You hear what she says, and let's break it down. 337 00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:15,480 Speaker 1: We have a one point two trillion dollar trade deficit 338 00:17:15,560 --> 00:17:21,560 Speaker 1: in counting. We've had ninety thousand factories closed in the 339 00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:24,320 Speaker 1: last couple of decades alone. 340 00:17:24,560 --> 00:17:27,240 Speaker 2: How many American jobs were lost? 341 00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:31,720 Speaker 1: Since nineteen ninety seven, Americans have been put out of 342 00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:38,080 Speaker 1: five million manufacturing jobs. Five million jobs disappeared. And as 343 00:17:38,119 --> 00:17:40,239 Speaker 1: she described, these are not just statistics. These are real 344 00:17:40,280 --> 00:17:43,359 Speaker 1: American lives that have been impacted. Now, why is Donald 345 00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:46,159 Speaker 1: Trump doing it? Because he's the one that's willing to 346 00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:49,879 Speaker 1: do the hard things other politicians are like and the 347 00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:52,320 Speaker 1: advisors walking like, hey, you can't do this right, like 348 00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:55,240 Speaker 1: whether it's Social Security or Medicare, Medicaid, like there's a 349 00:17:55,280 --> 00:17:57,800 Speaker 1: third row issues. This is a perfect example, like hey, 350 00:17:57,920 --> 00:17:59,920 Speaker 1: leave tarff Slan, shut up, don't do it. Kick the 351 00:17:59,920 --> 00:18:02,200 Speaker 1: can down the road. The deficit kick it down the road, 352 00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:03,760 Speaker 1: like there's gonna. 353 00:18:03,560 --> 00:18:04,560 Speaker 2: Be a day of reckoning. 354 00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:07,439 Speaker 1: And what Donald Trump is saying is is I'm not 355 00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:12,000 Speaker 1: running for reelection ever again. Okay, like I'm But what 356 00:18:12,040 --> 00:18:14,399 Speaker 1: I do know is if we're taking advantage of here. 357 00:18:14,320 --> 00:18:16,040 Speaker 2: And I'm not gonna let it keep happening. 358 00:18:17,320 --> 00:18:19,879 Speaker 1: Eric Trump put out a very interesting tweet earlier and 359 00:18:19,920 --> 00:18:21,960 Speaker 1: he said this, I wouldn't want to be the last 360 00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:24,760 Speaker 1: country that tries to negotiate a trade deal with Donald Trump. 361 00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:28,040 Speaker 1: The first negotiate will win, the last will absolutely lose. 362 00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:32,320 Speaker 1: I have seen this movie my entire life. And the 363 00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:35,200 Speaker 1: point that that I think Eric Trump is making there 364 00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:38,439 Speaker 1: is is if you think you're gonna outlast Donald Trump, 365 00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:43,080 Speaker 1: you're wrong. Now there's sky, it's falling, chicken little here, okay, 366 00:18:43,760 --> 00:18:45,400 Speaker 1: and and and that's. 367 00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:45,840 Speaker 2: That's part of this. 368 00:18:46,040 --> 00:18:48,320 Speaker 1: There is that, right, And and that's what the media 369 00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:50,879 Speaker 1: is hoping that you're gonna do. You're gonna abandon Trump, 370 00:18:50,880 --> 00:18:52,600 Speaker 1: You're gonna run away. You're gonna say, oh, I lost 371 00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:54,760 Speaker 1: too much money. This is ridiculous. Just go back to 372 00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:59,639 Speaker 1: SaaS Quo. It doesn't mean that things are getting any better. 373 00:19:00,840 --> 00:19:05,879 Speaker 1: And Donald Trump's saying I want the jobs back. Let 374 00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:09,440 Speaker 1: me also just give you a perfect example of what 375 00:19:09,520 --> 00:19:14,640 Speaker 1: I mean by Donald Trump is doing the hard thing, okay, 376 00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:17,640 Speaker 1: the hard thing that others are not willing to do. 377 00:19:19,480 --> 00:19:22,439 Speaker 1: And let me also just give you a perspective for 378 00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:27,919 Speaker 1: a second. You know what Mexico's economic policies are, Mexico first. 379 00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:32,919 Speaker 1: Do you know what Canada's economic policies are Canada first? 380 00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:38,280 Speaker 1: Do you know what China's economic policies are China first? 381 00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:43,120 Speaker 1: You know what India's economic policy is, India first. So 382 00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:47,640 Speaker 1: the question is to me, why shouldn't America's economic policies 383 00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:51,680 Speaker 1: be specifically America first? 384 00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:54,040 Speaker 2: Like that? 385 00:19:54,040 --> 00:19:57,119 Speaker 1: That is the question that so many people should be 386 00:19:57,200 --> 00:20:01,880 Speaker 1: asking right now. This should be a very simple America 387 00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:06,080 Speaker 1: first policy. That is what Donald Trump is trying to 388 00:20:06,119 --> 00:20:10,320 Speaker 1: shepherd in here. And by the way, there's a lot 389 00:20:10,359 --> 00:20:12,879 Speaker 1: of people in Congress that used to agree with this, 390 00:20:13,119 --> 00:20:17,880 Speaker 1: but then they decided, for either corruption reasons or lobbyist reasons, 391 00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:20,280 Speaker 1: or they just decide to woos out and put America 392 00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:21,800 Speaker 1: second and everybody else. 393 00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:24,720 Speaker 2: First, that they were going to change their minds. 394 00:20:25,359 --> 00:20:28,719 Speaker 1: I'm going to take you back to nineteen ninety six 395 00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:33,160 Speaker 1: and I'm going to play for you what Nancy Pelosi 396 00:20:33,320 --> 00:20:37,960 Speaker 1: said back in nineteen ninety six, speaking on the issue 397 00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:41,800 Speaker 1: of tariffs and the trade deficit in nineteen ninety six, 398 00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:46,160 Speaker 1: with China, almost all the Democrats out there are hypocrites. 399 00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:49,240 Speaker 1: They're wanting the sky to fall, They're wanting you to 400 00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:52,440 Speaker 1: abandon Trump. They don't ever want to do the hard thing. 401 00:20:53,240 --> 00:20:56,040 Speaker 1: They never want to do the hard thing. So I 402 00:20:56,119 --> 00:20:58,600 Speaker 1: want you to hear and listen and listen to Nancy 403 00:20:58,600 --> 00:21:01,160 Speaker 1: Pelosi in nineteen nine on the four of the House 404 00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:04,439 Speaker 1: lose her mind over China, the trade deficit and the 405 00:21:04,480 --> 00:21:05,640 Speaker 1: issue of tariffs. 406 00:21:06,080 --> 00:21:10,800 Speaker 7: How far does China have to go, how much more repression, 407 00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:15,040 Speaker 7: how big a trade deficit and loss of jobs for 408 00:21:15,119 --> 00:21:19,200 Speaker 7: the American worker, and how much more dangerous proliferation has 409 00:21:19,240 --> 00:21:23,480 Speaker 7: to exist before members of this House of Representatives will say, 410 00:21:23,800 --> 00:21:26,120 Speaker 7: I will not endorse the status quo. 411 00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:28,760 Speaker 2: By the way, I like this Nancy Pelosi. I want 412 00:21:28,760 --> 00:21:29,520 Speaker 2: to be clear about this. 413 00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:33,360 Speaker 1: This is before she became an insider trading woman who 414 00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:34,919 Speaker 1: just said I'm going to get rich and I'm going 415 00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:38,280 Speaker 1: to sell out America to China into other countries. This 416 00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:40,760 Speaker 1: is when I actually think she thought she was serving 417 00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:44,520 Speaker 1: the people. She's abandoned that for the last what thirty years, 418 00:21:44,760 --> 00:21:50,000 Speaker 1: But in nineteen ninety six, this is pretty good stuff 419 00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:51,159 Speaker 1: from Nancy Pelosi. 420 00:21:51,320 --> 00:21:52,080 Speaker 2: Keep listening. 421 00:21:52,560 --> 00:21:55,520 Speaker 7: As I mentioned, it's about jobs, proliferation, and human rights. 422 00:21:55,720 --> 00:21:57,720 Speaker 7: And there are those who say we shouldn't link human 423 00:21:57,800 --> 00:22:01,520 Speaker 7: rights in trade and proliferation and trade. I disagree, But 424 00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:03,480 Speaker 7: if we just want to take up this issue on 425 00:22:03,560 --> 00:22:08,439 Speaker 7: the basis of economics alone, indeed, China should not receive 426 00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:12,720 Speaker 7: Most Favored Nation status for several reasons that I'd like 427 00:22:12,760 --> 00:22:15,200 Speaker 7: to go into now. I'd like to call the attention 428 00:22:15,359 --> 00:22:18,240 Speaker 7: of our colleagues to this chart on the status quo 429 00:22:18,720 --> 00:22:21,320 Speaker 7: that the business community is asking each and every one 430 00:22:21,359 --> 00:22:24,400 Speaker 7: of you to, each and every one of us to endorse. 431 00:22:24,440 --> 00:22:24,840 Speaker 5: Today. 432 00:22:25,800 --> 00:22:28,040 Speaker 7: Right now, we have a thirty four billion dollar trade 433 00:22:28,080 --> 00:22:32,960 Speaker 7: deficit with China. The nineteen ninety five figure, it will 434 00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:36,760 Speaker 7: be over forty billion dollars for nineteen ninety six. Since 435 00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:41,320 Speaker 7: the Tenement Square massacre, this figure has increased one thousand 436 00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:44,440 Speaker 7: percent from three and a half billion then to about 437 00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:48,040 Speaker 7: thirty four billion dollars now. In terms of tariffs, it's 438 00:22:48,080 --> 00:22:51,879 Speaker 7: think it's interesting to note that the average MFN tariff 439 00:22:51,920 --> 00:22:55,240 Speaker 7: on Chinese goods coming into the United States is two percent, 440 00:22:55,880 --> 00:23:00,320 Speaker 7: whereas the average Chinese MFF tariff on US goods going 441 00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:04,200 Speaker 7: into China is thirty five percent. Is that reciprocal? 442 00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:10,520 Speaker 1: Nancy Pelusi in nineteen ninety six is saying the exact 443 00:23:10,920 --> 00:23:14,240 Speaker 1: same thing that Donald Trump said at the White House yesterday. 444 00:23:15,160 --> 00:23:20,000 Speaker 1: Is that reciprocal average US tariff on Chinese goods two percent, 445 00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:24,639 Speaker 1: average Chinese tariff on US goods thirty five percent. 446 00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:25,480 Speaker 2: Keep listening. 447 00:23:25,520 --> 00:23:29,160 Speaker 1: This is Nancy Pelosi ninety six actually saying the honest 448 00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:33,159 Speaker 1: and right thing before she sold out on exports. 449 00:23:33,480 --> 00:23:37,840 Speaker 7: China only allows certain industries into China of US industries 450 00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:41,639 Speaker 7: into China, and therefore only two percent of US exports 451 00:23:41,680 --> 00:23:45,240 Speaker 7: are allowed into China. On the other hand, the US 452 00:23:45,280 --> 00:23:48,760 Speaker 7: allows China to flood our markets with thirty a third 453 00:23:48,880 --> 00:23:51,960 Speaker 7: of their exports, and that'll probably go over forty percent. 454 00:23:52,359 --> 00:23:55,560 Speaker 7: And it's limitless because we have not placed any restriction 455 00:23:56,200 --> 00:23:59,280 Speaker 7: in terms of jobs. This is the biggest and cruelest 456 00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:03,320 Speaker 7: pox of ball. Not only do we not have market access, 457 00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:06,560 Speaker 7: not only do they have prohibitive tariffs. Not only are 458 00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:12,360 Speaker 7: our exports not let in very specifically, but China benefits with. 459 00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:14,120 Speaker 2: At least at least. 460 00:24:14,200 --> 00:24:18,520 Speaker 7: Ten million jobs from US China trade. The President and 461 00:24:18,640 --> 00:24:24,440 Speaker 7: his statement requesting this special waiver said that it China 462 00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:28,040 Speaker 7: trade supports one hundred and seventy thousand jobs in the 463 00:24:28,119 --> 00:24:32,840 Speaker 7: United States one hundred and seventy thousand jobs, whereas our 464 00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:37,399 Speaker 7: imports from China support ten million jobs at least. The 465 00:24:37,560 --> 00:24:41,160 Speaker 7: fact is that that US China trade is a job loser, 466 00:24:41,800 --> 00:24:44,480 Speaker 7: and one of the reasons that it is is because 467 00:24:44,520 --> 00:24:46,760 Speaker 7: in order well first, let me just make another point, 468 00:24:46,760 --> 00:24:49,440 Speaker 7: and that is that our colleagues on the other side 469 00:24:49,440 --> 00:24:52,200 Speaker 7: of this issue will say the trade with China, exports 470 00:24:52,200 --> 00:24:54,960 Speaker 7: to China have increased three times in the last ten years. 471 00:24:55,400 --> 00:24:59,440 Speaker 7: They have, but they failed to mention that exports imports 472 00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:03,760 Speaker 7: from China have increased eleven times and thereby leading to 473 00:25:03,800 --> 00:25:05,160 Speaker 7: this huge trade deficit. 474 00:25:06,119 --> 00:25:10,199 Speaker 1: I go back to back in ninety six when Nancy 475 00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:14,920 Speaker 1: Pelosi was saying this, she truly was sounding the alarm 476 00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:18,359 Speaker 1: that China was taking advantage of America and it was 477 00:25:18,440 --> 00:25:22,440 Speaker 1: catastrophic to the American worker, and it was catastrophic to 478 00:25:23,200 --> 00:25:27,640 Speaker 1: our industries and to manufacturing, and it was costing American jobs. 479 00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:30,720 Speaker 1: And the trade deficit was insane, and the tariffs were 480 00:25:30,880 --> 00:25:33,240 Speaker 1: insane that we were dealing with compared to what we 481 00:25:33,400 --> 00:25:36,119 Speaker 1: compared to what we were putting on them. And guess what, 482 00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:41,240 Speaker 1: it's not gotten any better since ninety six. So if 483 00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:44,359 Speaker 1: the problem was this bad in nineteen ninety six, then 484 00:25:44,480 --> 00:25:46,960 Speaker 1: put it into perspective about how bad the problem is 485 00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:49,879 Speaker 1: in twenty twenty five. You want to know why Donald 486 00:25:49,920 --> 00:25:52,320 Speaker 1: Trump is doing this. This is why Donald Trump is 487 00:25:52,359 --> 00:25:56,200 Speaker 1: doing this because it has been this bad for thirty 488 00:25:56,480 --> 00:26:01,119 Speaker 1: plus years, and nobody has had the jones to deal 489 00:26:01,119 --> 00:26:05,159 Speaker 1: with this issue for one reason. They didn't want to 490 00:26:05,240 --> 00:26:09,440 Speaker 1: upset the apple cart. They didn't want to lose their 491 00:26:09,480 --> 00:26:13,960 Speaker 1: approval rating. They didn't want to have a moment where 492 00:26:14,119 --> 00:26:16,520 Speaker 1: it things may get tough for a little bit and 493 00:26:16,600 --> 00:26:19,800 Speaker 1: have to go out there and explain it to American people. 494 00:26:19,880 --> 00:26:22,040 Speaker 1: So what did their advisors say, Hey, don't touch that, 495 00:26:22,119 --> 00:26:23,680 Speaker 1: just kick it down the road. You don't want to 496 00:26:23,680 --> 00:26:24,920 Speaker 1: go to war on this stuff. You don't want to 497 00:26:24,920 --> 00:26:26,280 Speaker 1: deal with US tarriffs, you don't want to deal with 498 00:26:26,320 --> 00:26:27,000 Speaker 1: China directly. 499 00:26:27,359 --> 00:26:28,000 Speaker 2: You don't want to. 500 00:26:28,680 --> 00:26:32,360 Speaker 1: And by the way, China, despite US tariffs, this is important. 501 00:26:32,440 --> 00:26:35,760 Speaker 1: China's currently leading the world in automobile production and exports. 502 00:26:37,480 --> 00:26:38,200 Speaker 2: They're the king. 503 00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:40,760 Speaker 1: We allow them to be the king, and they killed 504 00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:49,639 Speaker 1: American jobs in the process.
