1 00:00:01,120 --> 00:00:03,120 Speaker 1: All right, thank you, Scott Shannon, and thanks to all 2 00:00:03,160 --> 00:00:05,840 Speaker 1: of you for being with us toll free. Our number 3 00:00:06,120 --> 00:00:08,000 Speaker 1: is eight hundred and nine to pot one Sean if 4 00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:10,880 Speaker 1: you want to be a part of the program. Has 5 00:00:10,920 --> 00:00:14,160 Speaker 1: been a volatile day on Wall Street. What's the latest, Linda? 6 00:00:14,240 --> 00:00:16,040 Speaker 1: I can pull it up here on my phone because 7 00:00:16,079 --> 00:00:19,919 Speaker 1: I am, you know, capable of doing more than one 8 00:00:19,960 --> 00:00:23,160 Speaker 1: thing at a time. All right, Dad Jones, right now 9 00:00:23,360 --> 00:00:28,880 Speaker 1: today it's been up and down for sixty sixty four. Yeah, okay, 10 00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:31,200 Speaker 1: a minute ago it was down one twenty eight. Earlier 11 00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:32,960 Speaker 1: in the day, it was down like twenty three hundred. 12 00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:36,400 Speaker 1: It's been blowing out, you know, up and down and everywhere, 13 00:00:36,440 --> 00:00:38,640 Speaker 1: and everyone in the stock market's freaking out. Let me 14 00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:41,720 Speaker 1: just say a couple of things about this. And the 15 00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:43,960 Speaker 1: first thing I want to start with is an understanding, 16 00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:48,520 Speaker 1: and Treasury Secretary Scott Percent made this point is eighty 17 00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:51,000 Speaker 1: eight percent of the stock market is owned by the 18 00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:55,320 Speaker 1: wealthiest ten percent of Americans. After four years of Biden 19 00:00:55,400 --> 00:00:58,960 Speaker 1: and Harris, we have fifty percent of Americans have debt, 20 00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:03,440 Speaker 1: credit card bills, they rent their homes, they have auto loans, 21 00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:08,760 Speaker 1: and if you look at what where President Trump is 22 00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:14,800 Speaker 1: on this, he's looking out for American farmers, he's looking 23 00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:19,480 Speaker 1: out for American automakers, he's looking out for American ranchers, 24 00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:24,280 Speaker 1: he's looking out for American manufacturers, and he is betting 25 00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:27,840 Speaker 1: he is also thinking long term in terms of national 26 00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:30,480 Speaker 1: security here. This runs a lot deeper than what the 27 00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:33,440 Speaker 1: surface analysis you're getting from these morons that are on 28 00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:37,280 Speaker 1: these you know, on these cable channels that just freak 29 00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:40,160 Speaker 1: out at the very site or anything that Donald Trump 30 00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:43,240 Speaker 1: that does that's outside the box. And this is very 31 00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:48,720 Speaker 1: outside the box. You are an institutionalist if you can't understand. 32 00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:51,000 Speaker 1: And this is goes back to the choice that I've 33 00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:55,320 Speaker 1: been pointing out from day one, and that is you 34 00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:59,560 Speaker 1: only really have two choices here. For the last fifty years, 35 00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:05,120 Speaker 1: our country has allowed friend and foe, allies and enemy 36 00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:09,120 Speaker 1: countries to take full advantage of US and rip us 37 00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:12,480 Speaker 1: the hell off, and they have abused the United States 38 00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:16,560 Speaker 1: for decades. Now keep in mind, especially our allies, we 39 00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:20,520 Speaker 1: provide them with most of their national security or the 40 00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:24,400 Speaker 1: technology to buy the weaponry so that they can fight back. 41 00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:27,960 Speaker 1: In the case of NATO and Europe and European countries 42 00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:31,000 Speaker 1: and the European Union, Now we can use Europe as 43 00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:35,040 Speaker 1: a quick example. European Union charges a ten percent tariff 44 00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:38,680 Speaker 1: on American made automobiles. Then you go to countries that 45 00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:42,480 Speaker 1: have value added taxes, which are national sales taxes like Germany, 46 00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:46,320 Speaker 1: that's another twenty percent. So that makes an American car 47 00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:50,480 Speaker 1: being sold in Germany that adds thirty percent to the 48 00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:55,679 Speaker 1: sticker price, which then has resulted in almost ten cars 49 00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:58,760 Speaker 1: from Germany being sold in America for every one car 50 00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:03,680 Speaker 1: American car being sold in Germany. Now does that sound 51 00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:06,320 Speaker 1: like free and fair trade to you? So we have 52 00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:09,080 Speaker 1: a choice. We could do nothing, continue to get ripped 53 00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:11,639 Speaker 1: off by other countries and get abused by other countries 54 00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:15,560 Speaker 1: like we have for decades, or we can insist or 55 00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:20,080 Speaker 1: give them the choice actually and demand free and fair trade. 56 00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:24,120 Speaker 1: And countries will have the choice. And my bet is 57 00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:28,280 Speaker 1: where I'm betting, is that over time, when they evaluate 58 00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:34,040 Speaker 1: this situation, and if anyone has any common sense in 59 00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:39,120 Speaker 1: these countries, they are going to want access to our markets. 60 00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:44,080 Speaker 1: They are going to want access to you, the American consumer. 61 00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:47,840 Speaker 1: They are going to want to sell their products here. 62 00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:51,760 Speaker 1: And the choice is going to be simple. Now if 63 00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:55,560 Speaker 1: they continue to choose to hurt our farmers, our ranchers, 64 00:03:56,000 --> 00:04:02,040 Speaker 1: our manufacturers, are automakers with high tech we will stand up. 65 00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:06,080 Speaker 1: Donald Trump has said he will stand up for American industry, 66 00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:11,200 Speaker 1: American workers, and the American people. Now there's an added 67 00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:14,880 Speaker 1: benefit to all of this, like, for example, the Taiwanese 68 00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:21,080 Speaker 1: a semiconductor chip company that is moving facilities here and 69 00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:23,400 Speaker 1: they're going to spend one hundred billion dollars in the 70 00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:27,360 Speaker 1: next four years. We have other semiconductor chip companies they're 71 00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:29,440 Speaker 1: going to now be building. Those are things that we 72 00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:33,400 Speaker 1: are reliant on. That pharmaceuticals we need to need. There's 73 00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:35,960 Speaker 1: certain things we need to manufacture here. Are we going 74 00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:40,640 Speaker 1: to go back to the industrial age that once built 75 00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:44,760 Speaker 1: this country? Probably not. But do we for national security 76 00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:50,359 Speaker 1: reasons need to produce certain items that are critical for 77 00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:55,479 Speaker 1: national security here, like semiconductors. Yeah, we do. Now, all 78 00:04:55,480 --> 00:05:00,120 Speaker 1: the President is doing here is offering a choice to 79 00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:06,359 Speaker 1: countries friend and foe alike, demanding fundamental fairness. And while 80 00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:09,800 Speaker 1: it might be a temporary shock to the old way 81 00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:13,760 Speaker 1: of doing things, because every past president has known about 82 00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:17,400 Speaker 1: the tariffs these countries put on us and has been 83 00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:20,640 Speaker 1: unwilling to challenge it or stand up for the American people, 84 00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:27,200 Speaker 1: American consumers, American workers, American manufacturers. So the President is 85 00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:32,040 Speaker 1: simply saying, here is the choice is yours. The days 86 00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:35,280 Speaker 1: of your free ride is over. You can choose free 87 00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:38,919 Speaker 1: and fair trade, or you can choose to put tariffs 88 00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:42,320 Speaker 1: on products that we've sell in your country, but we're 89 00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:44,720 Speaker 1: going to do the same thing back to you. In 90 00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:47,760 Speaker 1: other words, the United States of America is not going 91 00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:50,880 Speaker 1: to be taken advantage of any longer. Now, I'll just 92 00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:52,800 Speaker 1: pay you one guy that's a really smart guy. His 93 00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:56,120 Speaker 1: name is Bill Lackman, and he had been proposed. And 94 00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:58,800 Speaker 1: this is when the market really went crazy. Earlier today 95 00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:02,719 Speaker 1: was deep in the red, and then boom came flying back, 96 00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:07,240 Speaker 1: and it was believed temporarily that Donald Trump was going 97 00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:09,719 Speaker 1: to back down and put a ninety day pause in effect, 98 00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:12,400 Speaker 1: which I strongly disagree with, because then these countries are 99 00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:14,480 Speaker 1: going to have no incentive to deal with this now. 100 00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:17,279 Speaker 1: If you're going to deal with something that might be 101 00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:19,560 Speaker 1: a little painful in the beginning, you might as well 102 00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:22,720 Speaker 1: deal with it now. And I believe that long term, 103 00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:25,240 Speaker 1: this is the strategy America's got to take unless we 104 00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:29,560 Speaker 1: want to be taken advantage of however, so I don't 105 00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:31,599 Speaker 1: agree with the ninety day pause. But Acman's a really 106 00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:34,520 Speaker 1: smart guy, and he's a Trump supporter. But I think 107 00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:37,599 Speaker 1: he has rightly pointed out one thing. If you go 108 00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:41,560 Speaker 1: back to last week's announcement by the President, I believe 109 00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:43,839 Speaker 1: it was in the Rose Garden at the White House. 110 00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:47,279 Speaker 1: If you look at the White House calculations, they did 111 00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:52,479 Speaker 1: include things besides tariffs. Would I would bifurcate those things 112 00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:56,720 Speaker 1: out separately. In other words, if we were to exclusively 113 00:06:56,800 --> 00:07:01,200 Speaker 1: just focus on tariffs only, for example, you know, if 114 00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:04,080 Speaker 1: we would just say, if you want free in fair 115 00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:07,599 Speaker 1: trade with the US, no tariffs at all between US 116 00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:11,320 Speaker 1: and every European country, that would be free and fair trade. 117 00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:14,520 Speaker 1: And if Canada wants to do the same thing, that 118 00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:19,280 Speaker 1: deal would would be open to them also. Now, this way, 119 00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:21,400 Speaker 1: on the issue of tariffs, we can have apples to 120 00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:24,280 Speaker 1: apples and free and fair trade policy. Now there are 121 00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:27,600 Speaker 1: other issues. For example, Canada is a good case in point. 122 00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:30,320 Speaker 1: That's not the only issue we have with Canada. We 123 00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:33,920 Speaker 1: have issues with them not securing the northern border. Last 124 00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:37,600 Speaker 1: year alone, we had the equivalent of the past seventeen 125 00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:41,080 Speaker 1: years of illegal immigrants coming from our northern border into 126 00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:45,960 Speaker 1: our country illegally or from over one hundred countries. They've 127 00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:49,320 Speaker 1: got to do more to secure their border. Canada does 128 00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:52,640 Speaker 1: not pay their fair share to NATO. All of these 129 00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:55,800 Speaker 1: things have got to change. And I think that is 130 00:07:55,920 --> 00:08:02,800 Speaker 1: just simple basic friendship, common sense. It really, it is 131 00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:06,200 Speaker 1: what it is now. I don't think this is a 132 00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:10,840 Speaker 1: complicated issue by any stretch of the imagination. I really don't, 133 00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:14,720 Speaker 1: you know, unless we get we have to understand where 134 00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:17,760 Speaker 1: we are as a country. We're a country that is 135 00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:21,240 Speaker 1: now headed to forty trillion dollars in debt. We are 136 00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:25,560 Speaker 1: a country where social security, medicare, Medicaid, they're all headed 137 00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:30,200 Speaker 1: towards insolvency. We are a country that needs to invest 138 00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:33,920 Speaker 1: in our energy infrastructure so we become energy dominant, which 139 00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:37,200 Speaker 1: also would benefit our allies and friends, especially in Western Europe, 140 00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:41,520 Speaker 1: which gets most of the lifeblood of their economy energy 141 00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:47,320 Speaker 1: from Russia. Not exactly the most reliable partner. And I 142 00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:50,880 Speaker 1: think it's very, very important that we understand where we 143 00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:55,640 Speaker 1: are as a country. We for the most part, especially 144 00:08:55,679 --> 00:09:00,920 Speaker 1: our allied friends, they benefit from the brillion dollars that 145 00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:05,800 Speaker 1: we spend your money every single year on national defense. 146 00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:09,120 Speaker 1: Trust me, Canada couldn't take out a spy balloon because 147 00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:11,440 Speaker 1: they didn't have a plane that could reach a high 148 00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:14,320 Speaker 1: enough altitude to do it, so they relied on the 149 00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:19,640 Speaker 1: United States. If Canada ever comes under attack, it's going 150 00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:22,240 Speaker 1: to be the United States that comes to its rescue. 151 00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:24,880 Speaker 1: They will not be able to defend themselves on any 152 00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:30,800 Speaker 1: level that would resemble a real defense against any real 153 00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:35,880 Speaker 1: security threat. The stakes are high, but this country and 154 00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:39,520 Speaker 1: we've got to accurately assess where we are. That's why 155 00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:43,600 Speaker 1: it is critical that we eliminate all this waste, fraud, 156 00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:46,600 Speaker 1: abuse and corruption that doge e Elon Musk and others 157 00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:50,200 Speaker 1: have identified. That's why it's now important to take the 158 00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:53,960 Speaker 1: stand now to demand free and fair trade and stop 159 00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:56,719 Speaker 1: letting the world take advantage of us the way they 160 00:09:56,760 --> 00:09:59,959 Speaker 1: have and ripping us off the way they have, because 161 00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:03,040 Speaker 1: that is just money out of the pocket of our 162 00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:07,880 Speaker 1: children and our grandchildren and working men and women in America. 163 00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:11,520 Speaker 1: These are fundamental but necessary steps to protect our country 164 00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:15,199 Speaker 1: and our economy, and the DC swamp has frankly allowed 165 00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:22,000 Speaker 1: the country to unilaterally surrender economically. And President Trump insisting 166 00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:26,400 Speaker 1: on free and fair trade will be and moving towards 167 00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:30,640 Speaker 1: energy and dependence will be the biggest, best wealth producing 168 00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:33,200 Speaker 1: steps in both the short term and the long term, 169 00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:37,080 Speaker 1: the very very short term because it's such a shock 170 00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:40,920 Speaker 1: to the system. I mean, you have establishment Republicans, right, 171 00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:46,440 Speaker 1: you have establishment Democrats. The establishment in DC are incapable 172 00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:49,680 Speaker 1: of thinking out of the box. I mean, they're afraid 173 00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:53,240 Speaker 1: of their own shadows. Most of these people, they really are. 174 00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:57,920 Speaker 1: They're not people. You know, which one of these countries 175 00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:03,080 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, which which one who thinks out of the box. 176 00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:05,680 Speaker 1: What other person would say that, well, if we're going 177 00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:07,920 Speaker 1: to liberate a rack, they should pay for their liberation. 178 00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:11,880 Speaker 1: What other country we go into a mineral deal with 179 00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:14,280 Speaker 1: Ukraine and say, wait a minute, we gave you hundreds 180 00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:16,679 Speaker 1: of billions of dollars. We want to be repaid. And 181 00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:18,640 Speaker 1: by the way, it'll be a good deal for you 182 00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:21,880 Speaker 1: because we'll have a presence in your country and provide 183 00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:25,000 Speaker 1: you security, and then we'll also provide you part of 184 00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:28,319 Speaker 1: the profits and you can rebuild your country after hopefully 185 00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:31,000 Speaker 1: we get a negotiated settlement with Russia and your war 186 00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:34,319 Speaker 1: with Russia comes to an end. You know, because if 187 00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:37,000 Speaker 1: you look at many of the people in the arguments 188 00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:39,400 Speaker 1: that I've been hearing the tariffs are amazing, and revive 189 00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:42,600 Speaker 1: manufacturing and bring good jobs and rebuild the middle class. 190 00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:49,600 Speaker 1: You know, this may in the end turn out being true. Ranchers, farmers, manufacturers, 191 00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:56,280 Speaker 1: the UAW union workers, steel workers, every industry. In other words, 192 00:11:56,320 --> 00:11:59,920 Speaker 1: the people that make this country great. They're loving this idea. 193 00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:04,559 Speaker 1: You know, you have less than half the country or 194 00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:07,920 Speaker 1: even invested a little bit in the stock market. Eighty 195 00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:10,440 Speaker 1: eight percent of the money is there by the top 196 00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:13,200 Speaker 1: ten percent of Americans, which liberals have been teaching us 197 00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:16,280 Speaker 1: for years that we're supposed to hate these people. You know, 198 00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:21,200 Speaker 1: we talk, we talk to talk of elitists. You know, 199 00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:23,640 Speaker 1: the people that are all wigged out over the stock 200 00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:27,679 Speaker 1: market the most are the people that have money in 201 00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:31,520 Speaker 1: the market, large sums of money. But they're not following 202 00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:34,800 Speaker 1: some basic stock market rules either. And I don't know 203 00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:38,199 Speaker 1: why people don't understand if you're investing in the stock market, Frankly, 204 00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:40,040 Speaker 1: if it's money that you're going to need it in 205 00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:43,319 Speaker 1: the next ten years, you probably should be reducing your 206 00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:48,720 Speaker 1: exposure dramatically and thinking more along the lines of wealth preservation. 207 00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:53,200 Speaker 1: I mean, when treasury returns for one two year treasuries 208 00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:55,920 Speaker 1: or five percent. I'm like, yeah, I like that option 209 00:12:56,040 --> 00:12:58,160 Speaker 1: better than the risk of the stock market, especially a 210 00:12:58,160 --> 00:13:02,400 Speaker 1: stock market that's probably long overdue for a correction. I 211 00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:04,560 Speaker 1: don't like the volatility of the stock market. Now, with 212 00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:07,600 Speaker 1: that said, when Donald Trump was president the first time 213 00:13:07,640 --> 00:13:10,720 Speaker 1: and he talked about tariffs, the initial reaction was similar 214 00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:13,200 Speaker 1: to what we've seen in the last three days. But 215 00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:15,840 Speaker 1: in the end, by the time he left office, the 216 00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:18,400 Speaker 1: stock market was up. That was up sixty percent, and 217 00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:21,800 Speaker 1: as that doubled, it was up one hundred percent. Again, 218 00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:25,360 Speaker 1: it's not my wheelhouse, and nor is it I don't 219 00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:29,000 Speaker 1: have the desire for the risk reward that the stock 220 00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:31,840 Speaker 1: market offers. In many ways, it kind of is a 221 00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:35,920 Speaker 1: form of gambling. You know, tariffs there are uncertain outcomes, 222 00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:38,480 Speaker 1: caused fear among people. But I have other news to 223 00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:41,640 Speaker 1: share with you today that over fifty countries have reached 224 00:13:41,640 --> 00:13:45,480 Speaker 1: out to this White House already looking to negotiate free 225 00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:48,720 Speaker 1: and fair trade deals with the United States. Prior to 226 00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:52,840 Speaker 1: the announcement last week, over six trillion dollars an investment 227 00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:57,520 Speaker 1: was committed for industry here in the US.

Other countries are now investing 230 00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:10,840 Speaker 1: a one point five trillion from the UAE, one trillion 231 00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:15,040 Speaker 1: from Saudi Arabia because they're betting on America and these 232 00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:22,480 Speaker 1: manufacturing facilities, these automobile plants, this new industry, this chip industry, 233 00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:26,080 Speaker 1: semiconductors will being built here, etc. Are going to create 234 00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:30,520 Speaker 1: high paying career jobs for Americans and we will ultimately benefit. 235 00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:33,360 Speaker 1: It's hard to ask people, you know, look, give up 236 00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:36,480 Speaker 1: eating you know, cupcakes, you know, three times a day, 237 00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:39,880 Speaker 1: in ice cream every night, and work out every day 238 00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:41,520 Speaker 1: for an hour and a half and you're going to 239 00:14:41,760 --> 00:14:43,680 Speaker 1: you know, be fit and live longer and it's going 240 00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:45,680 Speaker 1: to be better for your health. That's that's kind of 241 00:14:46,280 --> 00:14:48,200 Speaker 1: you know, no pain, no gain. Nobody wants to hear 242 00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:51,080 Speaker 1: about eating your spinach either, but it's kind of what 243 00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:53,040 Speaker 1: we have to do if we really want to get 244 00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:56,080 Speaker 1: this country on track and stop robbing our kids and 245 00:14:56,400 --> 00:14:59,600 Speaker 1: future generations.

I would say that I'm by far 263 00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:54,000 Speaker 3: the best president that Israel has ever even thought of seeing. 264 00:15:55,040 --> 00:15:58,600 Speaker 3: And it's an honor to be so and to be 265 00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:02,680 Speaker 3: so brought up many friends in Israel. They are not 266 00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:06,480 Speaker 3: in an easy area, doesn't go easy, but we are 267 00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:11,040 Speaker 3: helping them, and likewise they've been helping us very much, 268 00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:13,000 Speaker 3: and so we'll see how it all works out. But 269 00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:16,440 Speaker 3: we had great discussions today, I think on the obvious 270 00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:20,960 Speaker 3: subject of Iran and also the less obvious subject with 271 00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:25,160 Speaker 3: respect to Israel and that's trade, and I think the 272 00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:26,640 Speaker 3: Prime Minister is going to tell you a little bit 273 00:16:26,640 --> 00:16:29,040 Speaker 3: about trade and what they're doing for the United States. 274 00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:31,160 Speaker 2: So I want to thank you all for being here. 275 00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:33,560 Speaker 2: Thank you very much, and thank you Benjamin, thank you 276 00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:34,000 Speaker 2: very much. 277 00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:39,440 Speaker 4: Thank you, mister President, thank you Dom Thank you as President. 278 00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:42,400 Speaker 4: I want to first thank you for inviting me again 279 00:16:43,160 --> 00:16:46,720 Speaker 4: to the White House. You've been a remarkable friend of 280 00:16:46,760 --> 00:16:51,520 Speaker 4: the State ofsm You stand by us, you're standing with us. 281 00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:56,520 Speaker 4: You are a great, great champion of our lives, and 282 00:16:57,520 --> 00:17:01,000 Speaker 4: you actually do things that you say you do, and 283 00:17:01,040 --> 00:17:04,439 Speaker 4: I think that people respect that enormously. I certainly do, 284 00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:07,119 Speaker 4: and the people of Israel doing I think the Jewish 285 00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:11,440 Speaker 4: people do as well. We just saw your representative in 286 00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:15,560 Speaker 4: the Department of Justice fighting anti Semitism, standing up for 287 00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:18,840 Speaker 4: Israel in international forms. I just want you to know 288 00:17:19,040 --> 00:17:22,600 Speaker 4: from the heart it's deeply, deeply appreciated. As you said, 289 00:17:22,640 --> 00:17:27,840 Speaker 4: we had the opportunity to talk today about many subjects. First, 290 00:17:27,880 --> 00:17:29,960 Speaker 4: if I can mentioned TRAbs, it's the subject of some 291 00:17:30,119 --> 00:17:34,280 Speaker 4: interested in I can tell you that I said to 292 00:17:34,320 --> 00:17:38,000 Speaker 4: the President of a very simple thing. We will eliminate the 293 00:17:38,080 --> 00:17:41,359 Speaker 4: trade deficit with the United States. We intend to do 294 00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:44,239 Speaker 4: it very quickly. We think it's the right thing to do. 295 00:17:45,080 --> 00:17:49,359 Speaker 4: And we're going to also eliminate trade barriers, a variety 296 00:17:49,359 --> 00:17:52,199 Speaker 4: of trade barriers that have been put up unnecessarily, and 297 00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:56,000 Speaker 4: I think Israel conserve as a model for many countries 298 00:17:56,480 --> 00:18:00,520 Speaker 4: who are to do the same. I recognize the the 299 00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:03,720 Speaker 4: position of the United States. It says, you know, we 300 00:18:03,840 --> 00:18:07,679 Speaker 4: allowing other countries to put tariffs on us, but we 301 00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:09,960 Speaker 4: don't put tariffs on them. And you know, I'm a 302 00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:13,280 Speaker 4: free trade champion, and free trade has to be fair trade. 303 00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:16,720 Speaker 4: And I think that's basically the position that you have 304 00:18:17,320 --> 00:18:20,679 Speaker 4: put forward, mister President. We are going to eliminate the 305 00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:24,119 Speaker 4: tariffs and rapidly. I added the opportunity to speak to 306 00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:29,280 Speaker 4: Secretary Lutnik yesterday. We talked about how we could affect 307 00:18:29,280 --> 00:18:32,399 Speaker 4: this quickly, and I hope to bring the solution very quickly. 308 00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:37,080 Speaker 4: We're not talking about intentions, we're not talking about, you know, 309 00:18:37,280 --> 00:18:40,879 Speaker 4: just words. We're talking about results. Those results are going 310 00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:42,320 Speaker 4: to come back. That's the first. 311 00:18:42,359 --> 00:18:48,199 Speaker 3: Thank you, that's very nice, thank you, Thank you you well. 312 00:18:48,520 --> 00:18:53,200 Speaker 4: I have been of what we did. We spoke about 313 00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:58,360 Speaker 4: not only the hostages, but about Gazam, the hostages obviously 314 00:18:58,480 --> 00:19:04,639 Speaker 4: is a human story of un just, unbearable agony. I 315 00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:07,720 Speaker 4: speak to the families. I spoke to them yesterday, spoke 316 00:19:07,760 --> 00:19:10,640 Speaker 4: to another one when I was in Ungary before I came, 317 00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:13,240 Speaker 4: and I speak to them every day. They're in agony. 318 00:19:14,040 --> 00:19:16,440 Speaker 4: The hostages are in agony, and we want to get 319 00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:22,120 Speaker 4: them all out. Steve Whitcoff, President Trump's very able representative, 320 00:19:22,240 --> 00:19:24,840 Speaker 4: helped us get a deal that got twenty five out. 321 00:19:24,920 --> 00:19:28,320 Speaker 4: We're working now on another deal that we hope will succeed, 322 00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:31,359 Speaker 4: and we're committed to getting all the hostages out, but 323 00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:39,159 Speaker 4: also eliminating the evil taranty of Hamas in Ghazam and 324 00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:41,960 Speaker 4: enabling the people of Gaza to freely make a choice 325 00:19:42,560 --> 00:19:44,399 Speaker 4: to go wherever they want. I mean, they should have 326 00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:47,440 Speaker 4: another choice. And the President put forward a vision of 327 00:19:47,560 --> 00:19:53,359 Speaker 4: bold vision which we discussed as well, including the countries 328 00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:58,840 Speaker 4: that might be amenable and are amenable to accepting Palestinians 329 00:19:58,840 --> 00:20:01,440 Speaker 4: of their free choice if they choose to go there. 330 00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:03,920 Speaker 4: And I think that's the second thing that we discuss. 331 00:20:04,600 --> 00:20:08,399 Speaker 4: Uh ad Ostia's game right on top. UH. We also 332 00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:14,760 Speaker 4: discussed the situation UH in Syria. UH we have UH 333 00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:18,359 Speaker 4: We've had neighboring relations with Turkey that have deteriorated, and 334 00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:21,280 Speaker 4: we don't want to see Syria being used by anyone, 335 00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:24,719 Speaker 4: including Turkey, as a base for attack in Israel. Turkey 336 00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:29,920 Speaker 4: is a country that UH hasn't a uh A great 337 00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:33,320 Speaker 4: relationship with the United States. The President has a relationship 338 00:20:33,359 --> 00:20:35,960 Speaker 4: with the leader of Turkey. We discussed how we can 339 00:20:36,080 --> 00:20:39,200 Speaker 4: avoid this conflict, UH in a variety of ways, and 340 00:20:40,080 --> 00:20:43,439 Speaker 4: UH I think we can have a better interlocutor than 341 00:20:43,480 --> 00:20:46,320 Speaker 4: the President of the United States for this purpose. And 342 00:20:46,359 --> 00:20:49,920 Speaker 4: of course we also discussed Iran. Look, we're both united 343 00:20:49,960 --> 00:20:54,480 Speaker 4: in the goal that Iran does not ever get nuclear weapons. 344 00:20:54,840 --> 00:20:57,480 Speaker 4: If it could be done diplomatically, in a full way, 345 00:20:57,600 --> 00:20:59,639 Speaker 4: the way it was done in Libya, I think that 346 00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:03,040 Speaker 4: would be a good thing. But whatever happens, we have 347 00:21:03,080 --> 00:21:06,000 Speaker 4: to make sure that you want does not have the wedness. 348 00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:07,960 Speaker 4: That's the end of my speak. 349 00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:15,480 Speaker 3: We are we're having directing talks with wait wait wait wait, 350 00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:19,280 Speaker 3: we're having direct talks with Iran and. 351 00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:22,920 Speaker 2: They've started. It'll go on Saturday. 352 00:21:23,040 --> 00:21:25,280 Speaker 3: We have a very big meeting and we'll see what 353 00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:25,879 Speaker 3: can happen. 354 00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:28,160 Speaker 2: And I think everybody. 355 00:21:27,720 --> 00:21:33,000 Speaker 3: Agrees that doing a deal would be preferable to doing 356 00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:37,159 Speaker 3: the obvious, and the obvious is not something that I 357 00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:40,159 Speaker 3: want to be involved with, or frankly that is your 358 00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:42,280 Speaker 3: wants to be involved with if they can avoid it. 359 00:21:42,280 --> 00:21:43,760 Speaker 3: So we're going to see if we can avoid it. 360 00:21:44,240 --> 00:21:49,760 Speaker 3: But it's getting to be very dangerous territory. And hopefully 361 00:21:49,760 --> 00:21:52,000 Speaker 3: those talks will be successful, and I think it would 362 00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:55,760 Speaker 3: be intern's best interests if they are successful, and we 363 00:21:56,400 --> 00:21:59,679 Speaker 3: hope that's going to happen. Uh, And we had just 364 00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:01,200 Speaker 3: a lot of good talks on a lot of things. 365 00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:03,400 Speaker 2: I appreciate very much what you said about the tariffs. 366 00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:07,160 Speaker 3: We've been ripped off and taken advantage of by many 367 00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:10,439 Speaker 3: countries over the years, and can't do it anymore. 368 00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:12,560 Speaker 2: We just can't do it anymore. Can't be the stupid 369 00:22:12,560 --> 00:22:13,440 Speaker 2: people anymore. 370 00:22:14,119 --> 00:22:17,080 Speaker 3: And it's all because of the. 371 00:22:16,359 --> 00:22:19,160 Speaker 2: People that sat in the seat right here, not yourc 372 00:22:19,359 --> 00:22:20,040 Speaker 2: but the city. 373 00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:23,040 Speaker 3: They allowed things to happen to our country that they 374 00:22:23,040 --> 00:22:26,200 Speaker 3: shouldn't have allowed to happen on trade and other things. 375 00:22:25,960 --> 00:22:26,680 Speaker 2: Many other things. 376 00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:29,520 Speaker 3: I mean, look at what's happened with our last president, 377 00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:32,560 Speaker 3: where we allowed millions of people come into our country 378 00:22:32,600 --> 00:22:36,040 Speaker 3: with an open border. Who would want an open how 379 00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:40,480 Speaker 3: stupid was that? But he allowed millions and millions of people. 380 00:22:41,040 --> 00:22:43,119 Speaker 3: And of the millions, and I think it was twenty 381 00:22:43,119 --> 00:22:45,960 Speaker 3: one million people, but let's say three of them were 382 00:22:46,040 --> 00:22:50,879 Speaker 3: serious criminals, serious murderers, and drug dealers and gang members 383 00:22:50,920 --> 00:22:54,440 Speaker 3: and people from jails. All the jails emptied out right 384 00:22:54,480 --> 00:22:58,880 Speaker 3: into our country, right along the open border on Mexico. 385 00:22:58,480 --> 00:23:00,680 Speaker 4: Generally the Mexico we came in from. 386 00:23:00,640 --> 00:23:04,080 Speaker 3: Canada to by the way a lot, but generally speaking 387 00:23:04,160 --> 00:23:08,000 Speaker 3: on the southern border. And what a shame it is 388 00:23:08,040 --> 00:23:10,159 Speaker 3: that we are now working very hard to get them out, 389 00:23:10,240 --> 00:23:13,760 Speaker 3: get the criminals, get the murderers out, the drug dealers, 390 00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:17,439 Speaker 3: the mentally insane, get them out. They drop them mentally 391 00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:20,240 Speaker 3: insane in our country too. And this was all done 392 00:23:20,280 --> 00:23:23,720 Speaker 3: by the Biden administration. It's a disgrace that we have 393 00:23:23,760 --> 00:23:25,520 Speaker 3: to work so hard, and then we have judges that 394 00:23:25,640 --> 00:23:28,480 Speaker 3: try and protect these people, but they didn't protect us 395 00:23:28,480 --> 00:23:30,960 Speaker 3: when the people were being let in. But to get 396 00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:34,760 Speaker 3: them out is never easy with these people. So I 397 00:23:34,760 --> 00:23:37,000 Speaker 3: think we're doing a great job. The border is the 398 00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:40,919 Speaker 3: best it's ever been. Even as strong as it was, 399 00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:42,720 Speaker 3: I had a creating solid border. 400 00:23:42,760 --> 00:23:46,240 Speaker 2: I think it might even be tougher right now and stronger. 401 00:23:46,359 --> 00:23:49,000 Speaker 3: So people are coming into our country, but they're coming 402 00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:49,480 Speaker 3: in legally. 403 00:23:49,560 --> 00:23:50,639 Speaker 4: We have a legal. 404 00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:53,520 Speaker 3: Process and we have that moving along properly because we 405 00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:55,840 Speaker 3: need people to come into our country, but we want 406 00:23:56,160 --> 00:23:59,000 Speaker 3: people that can love our country and cherish our country. 407 00:23:59,160 --> 00:24:00,520 Speaker 2: So that's what we are. 408 00:24:00,560 --> 00:24:05,560 Speaker 3: And with any questions, mister to. 409 00:24:05,520 --> 00:24:07,679 Speaker 5: The markets today and would you be open to a 410 00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:09,560 Speaker 5: pause in tariffs to allow. 411 00:24:09,359 --> 00:24:13,080 Speaker 3: For negotiations, Well, we're to look into that. We have many, 412 00:24:13,119 --> 00:24:17,040 Speaker 3: many countries that are coming to negotiate deals with us, 413 00:24:17,119 --> 00:24:20,240 Speaker 3: and they're going to be fair deals and in certain 414 00:24:20,280 --> 00:24:23,520 Speaker 3: cases they're going to be paying substantial tariffs. 415 00:24:24,080 --> 00:24:25,560 Speaker 2: They'll be fair deals. 416 00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:27,600 Speaker 3: As you know, I spoke this morning with the Prime 417 00:24:27,600 --> 00:24:31,760 Speaker 3: Minister of Japan and we had a very good conversation. 418 00:24:31,880 --> 00:24:34,480 Speaker 3: They're coming, and I said, one thing, you're going to 419 00:24:34,520 --> 00:24:37,360 Speaker 3: have to open up your country because we sold no cars, 420 00:24:37,520 --> 00:24:41,280 Speaker 3: like zero cars in Japan, and they sold millions of 421 00:24:41,359 --> 00:24:45,320 Speaker 3: cars into our country. They don't really take our agriculture, 422 00:24:45,320 --> 00:24:47,520 Speaker 3: a little bit of it just to keep us slightly happy, 423 00:24:47,560 --> 00:24:49,760 Speaker 3: but they don't take what this of us to be taking. 424 00:24:49,880 --> 00:24:52,399 Speaker 2: So we have a great relationship with Japan. We're going 425 00:24:52,480 --> 00:24:53,120 Speaker 2: to keep it that way. 426 00:24:53,160 --> 00:24:56,320 Speaker 3: But they're coming in to meet, and other countries are 427 00:24:56,320 --> 00:25:01,600 Speaker 3: coming in with China, as you know, against my statement, 428 00:25:01,640 --> 00:25:05,919 Speaker 3: they put a thirty four percent tariff on above what 429 00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:07,440 Speaker 3: their ridiculous. 430 00:25:06,840 --> 00:25:08,000 Speaker 2: Tariffs were already. 431 00:25:08,880 --> 00:25:12,440 Speaker 3: And I said, if that tariff isn't removed by tomorrow. 432 00:25:12,080 --> 00:25:14,800 Speaker 2: At twelve o'clock, we're putting a fifty minus. All right. 433 00:25:14,840 --> 00:25:17,720 Speaker 1: For stations along the Sean Hannity Show Radio network, we're 434 00:25:17,720 --> 00:25:20,919 Speaker 1: going to continue President Trump along with Israeli Prime Minister, 435 00:25:21,080 --> 00:25:24,120 Speaker 1: bb NET and Yahoo.

And I 452 00:26:07,640 --> 00:26:10,199 Speaker 3: have a great relationship with Presidency. I hope it's going 453 00:26:10,280 --> 00:26:12,720 Speaker 3: to stay that way. I have great respect for China, 454 00:26:13,240 --> 00:26:16,240 Speaker 3: but they can't do this. We're just we're going to 455 00:26:16,280 --> 00:26:19,119 Speaker 3: have one shot at this, and no other president's going 456 00:26:19,200 --> 00:26:21,920 Speaker 3: to do this what I'm doing. And I'll tell you what, 457 00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:24,800 Speaker 3: it's an honor to do it because we have been 458 00:26:24,960 --> 00:26:29,199 Speaker 3: just just destroyed what they've done to our system. You know, 459 00:26:29,240 --> 00:26:31,919 Speaker 3: we have thirty six trillion dollars of debt for a reason, 460 00:26:32,720 --> 00:26:35,760 Speaker 3: and the reason is that people allowed it to get 461 00:26:35,760 --> 00:26:36,160 Speaker 3: that way. 462 00:26:36,200 --> 00:26:41,120 Speaker 2: So we'll be talking to China, We'll be talking to a. 463 00:26:41,080 --> 00:26:44,280 Speaker 3: Lot of different countries, and I think, you know, if 464 00:26:45,040 --> 00:26:48,040 Speaker 3: if we can make a really fair deal and a 465 00:26:48,040 --> 00:26:50,080 Speaker 3: good deal for the United States, not a good deal 466 00:26:50,080 --> 00:26:53,919 Speaker 3: for others. This is America first. It's now America first. 467 00:26:54,359 --> 00:26:56,760 Speaker 3: And we didn't put America first. We put America lass. 468 00:26:56,840 --> 00:27:00,320 Speaker 3: The people that were in the Oval Office put America asked, 469 00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:01,359 Speaker 3: and we're not going to stand for it. 470 00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:13,400 Speaker 6: Yeah, two questions, do you expect any of these deals. 471 00:27:13,040 --> 00:27:15,000 Speaker 2: To be made before April ninth? 472 00:27:15,119 --> 00:27:18,000 Speaker 6: And secondly, there have been some mixed messages from your administration. 473 00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:21,440 Speaker 6: You're talking about negotiations, and yet others in your administration 474 00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:23,640 Speaker 6: are saying that these tariffs are actually permanent. 475 00:27:23,920 --> 00:27:27,480 Speaker 2: What is that actual? Well it it can both be true. 476 00:27:28,080 --> 00:27:30,800 Speaker 3: There can be permanent tariffs and they can also be 477 00:27:30,880 --> 00:27:33,760 Speaker 3: negotiations because there are things that we need beyond tariffs. 478 00:27:33,760 --> 00:27:36,520 Speaker 3: We need open borders. You know, we almost had a 479 00:27:36,560 --> 00:27:39,280 Speaker 3: deal with China where we're going to open up China. 480 00:27:39,320 --> 00:27:41,640 Speaker 3: It was almost done. Some of you remember it during 481 00:27:41,680 --> 00:27:44,400 Speaker 3: my first term, and it was very disappointing. We ended 482 00:27:44,440 --> 00:27:47,040 Speaker 3: up making a great deal of fifty billion dollars worth 483 00:27:47,080 --> 00:27:50,719 Speaker 3: of product. Was so fifty billion you'd like that in Israel. 484 00:27:51,280 --> 00:27:53,200 Speaker 3: And I made that deal, but it wasn't the deal 485 00:27:53,240 --> 00:27:56,040 Speaker 3: that I wanted. It was the deal that I wanted. 486 00:27:56,200 --> 00:27:58,879 Speaker 3: Was that plus they were going to open up China 487 00:27:58,960 --> 00:28:02,840 Speaker 3: so that our companies go into China and compete with 488 00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:05,000 Speaker 3: other countries and China. 489 00:28:04,760 --> 00:28:06,960 Speaker 2: For the you know, for a large number of people. 490 00:28:07,800 --> 00:28:10,840 Speaker 3: And at the very end that deal was terminated and 491 00:28:10,880 --> 00:28:14,640 Speaker 3: we went to a piece of the deal and there's 492 00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:16,719 Speaker 3: so there are a lot of things outside of teriffs, 493 00:28:16,760 --> 00:28:19,120 Speaker 3: but tariffs are very important, but there are a lot 494 00:28:19,119 --> 00:28:22,200 Speaker 3: of things like opening up countries that were totally close. 495 00:28:22,359 --> 00:28:26,600 Speaker 3: China is essentially a closed country. In fact, it is 496 00:28:26,640 --> 00:28:28,960 Speaker 3: a closed country. And what they do is they charge 497 00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:31,720 Speaker 3: tariffs so that if you if you sell cars, or 498 00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:34,840 Speaker 3: if you sell anything, nobody's going to buy it because 499 00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:36,080 Speaker 3: the price is out of control. 500 00:28:36,359 --> 00:28:38,480 Speaker 2: But that's true with a lot of other countries also. 501 00:28:38,560 --> 00:28:41,719 Speaker 3: So we're going to get fair deals and good deals 502 00:28:41,760 --> 00:28:44,000 Speaker 3: with every country, and if we don't, we're going to 503 00:28:44,080 --> 00:28:45,520 Speaker 3: have nothing to do with them. They're not going to 504 00:28:45,560 --> 00:28:58,480 Speaker 3: be allowed to participate in the United States. 505 00:28:51,800 --> 00:29:04,080 Speaker 7: The reaction time these gentlemen is all day long. Many 506 00:29:04,120 --> 00:29:06,480 Speaker 7: of uh, thank you for check. 507 00:29:06,920 --> 00:29:09,480 Speaker 8: Many Palasinian Americans who voted for you, voted for you 508 00:29:09,640 --> 00:29:12,400 Speaker 8: enough for a Biden because you've promised them to turn 509 00:29:12,480 --> 00:29:16,680 Speaker 8: the war in Gaza. 510 00:29:15,120 --> 00:29:15,960 Speaker 2: By that vote too. 511 00:29:16,160 --> 00:29:18,680 Speaker 8: The war's still going on. There's no hostage, Deel. Do 512 00:29:18,720 --> 00:29:19,720 Speaker 8: you have any updating that. 513 00:29:20,320 --> 00:29:22,160 Speaker 3: Well, I'd like to see the war stop, and I 514 00:29:22,200 --> 00:29:25,200 Speaker 3: think the war will stop at some point. That won't 515 00:29:25,200 --> 00:29:27,120 Speaker 3: be the two distant future. Right now, we have a 516 00:29:27,160 --> 00:29:29,840 Speaker 3: problem with hostages. We're trying to get the hostages out. 517 00:29:29,920 --> 00:29:32,280 Speaker 3: We got quite a few of them out, but it's 518 00:29:32,320 --> 00:29:35,240 Speaker 3: a long process. It shouldn't be that long. We have 519 00:29:35,400 --> 00:29:38,360 Speaker 3: a big problem that we've done. I think Alas Peter 520 00:29:38,520 --> 00:29:40,760 Speaker 3: maybe talk about it for a second, because a lot 521 00:29:40,760 --> 00:29:41,560 Speaker 3: of people are rescued. 522 00:29:41,560 --> 00:29:42,160 Speaker 2: The Hooties. 523 00:29:42,240 --> 00:29:46,000 Speaker 3: We've we've been very tough and very successful militarily. 524 00:29:47,120 --> 00:29:51,120 Speaker 2: We've really damaged them badly. 525 00:29:51,200 --> 00:29:53,960 Speaker 3: These were people shooting down ships and other things by 526 00:29:54,000 --> 00:29:59,880 Speaker 3: the way, flying objects like airplanes, and we we've put 527 00:29:59,880 --> 00:30:03,080 Speaker 3: a major hurt on the Hoodies, which nobody's been able 528 00:30:03,080 --> 00:30:07,160 Speaker 3: to do. We've really hit them hard and they know 529 00:30:07,240 --> 00:30:09,960 Speaker 3: it and they don't know what to do. And it's 530 00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:13,880 Speaker 3: every night, night after night, and we've gotten many of 531 00:30:13,920 --> 00:30:17,880 Speaker 3: their leaders and their experts, their experts on missiles, I 532 00:30:17,880 --> 00:30:19,320 Speaker 3: mean they actually make missiles. 533 00:30:19,320 --> 00:30:21,920 Speaker 2: Nobody thought that, but they make missiles. 534 00:30:21,920 --> 00:30:24,960 Speaker 3: They's highly sophisticated and then they're very tough. 535 00:30:25,440 --> 00:30:28,800 Speaker 2: But they've been very badly damaged. Nobody else was able 536 00:30:28,840 --> 00:30:32,480 Speaker 2: to do that, but us Pete. You want to discuss that, Yes, sir, it's. 537 00:30:32,280 --> 00:30:35,720 Speaker 5: Been a bad three weeks for the Houthis and it's 538 00:30:35,720 --> 00:30:38,760 Speaker 5: about to get worse. It's been a devastating campaign, whether 539 00:30:38,760 --> 00:30:44,000 Speaker 5: it's underground facilities, weapons manufacturing, bunkers, troops in the open 540 00:30:44,080 --> 00:30:47,360 Speaker 5: air defense assets. We are not going to relent and 541 00:30:47,400 --> 00:30:50,680 Speaker 5: it's only to get more unrelenting until the Houthis. 542 00:30:50,320 --> 00:30:52,720 Speaker 2: Declare they will stop shooting at our ships. And we've 543 00:30:52,720 --> 00:30:54,640 Speaker 2: been very clear at the Iranians. 544 00:30:54,160 --> 00:30:59,080 Speaker 5: As well, they should not continue to provide support to 545 00:30:59,080 --> 00:31:01,640 Speaker 5: the Hoothies, and that mess has been made very clear. 546 00:31:01,720 --> 00:31:04,040 Speaker 5: So we have a lot more options and a lot 547 00:31:04,080 --> 00:31:06,720 Speaker 5: more pressure to apply. And we know because we see 548 00:31:06,760 --> 00:31:08,959 Speaker 5: the reports how devastating this campaign has been. 549 00:31:08,960 --> 00:31:10,800 Speaker 2: An end and we will not look like we have 550 00:31:10,840 --> 00:31:14,720 Speaker 2: a great military. There's no military like our military. 551 00:31:14,800 --> 00:31:19,480 Speaker 3: And despite Biden having given a lot, but nevertheless a 552 00:31:19,480 --> 00:31:22,440 Speaker 3: pretty small piece, but it was a lot of our 553 00:31:22,520 --> 00:31:27,160 Speaker 3: military way in Afghanistan and one of the dumbest situations, 554 00:31:27,200 --> 00:31:30,160 Speaker 3: I think, and maybe the most embarrassing situation we've ever 555 00:31:30,200 --> 00:31:33,880 Speaker 3: been involved in that short period of time in Afghanistan. 556 00:31:34,640 --> 00:31:36,320 Speaker 2: What a disgrace that was. 557 00:31:36,400 --> 00:31:40,520 Speaker 3: But left a lot of our military behind left you 558 00:31:40,560 --> 00:31:44,920 Speaker 3: see them in their annual parades where they're parading trucks. 559 00:31:44,560 --> 00:31:46,800 Speaker 2: That are armor plated in different things that they can 560 00:31:46,920 --> 00:31:47,920 Speaker 2: but it's. 561 00:31:47,560 --> 00:31:52,360 Speaker 3: Many billions of dollars, but despite that, we have a 562 00:31:52,400 --> 00:31:56,000 Speaker 3: tremendous military. That was a very small portion because we 563 00:31:56,040 --> 00:32:01,440 Speaker 3: rebuilt the military during my first term and we have 564 00:32:01,520 --> 00:32:06,680 Speaker 3: great things happening with our military. We also essentially approved 565 00:32:07,240 --> 00:32:10,360 Speaker 3: a budget which is at the facility, you'll like to 566 00:32:10,360 --> 00:32:14,600 Speaker 3: hear this of a trillion dollars, one trillion dollars and. 567 00:32:14,320 --> 00:32:15,880 Speaker 2: Then nobody's seeing anything like it. 568 00:32:15,920 --> 00:32:19,440 Speaker 3: We have to build our military, and we're very coarse conscious, 569 00:32:19,480 --> 00:32:21,880 Speaker 3: but the military is something that we have to build 570 00:32:21,880 --> 00:32:23,520 Speaker 3: and we have to be strong because you have a 571 00:32:23,520 --> 00:32:25,120 Speaker 3: lot of bad forces out there now. 572 00:32:25,640 --> 00:32:26,800 Speaker 2: So we're going to be approving a. 573 00:32:26,800 --> 00:32:30,360 Speaker 3: Budget and I'm proud to say, actually the biggest one 574 00:32:30,440 --> 00:32:31,880 Speaker 3: we've ever done for the military. 575 00:32:32,760 --> 00:32:34,040 Speaker 2: We're cutting other things. 576 00:32:33,840 --> 00:32:38,320 Speaker 3: That were underdoge, but under a lot of other When 577 00:32:38,360 --> 00:32:42,040 Speaker 3: you look at a woman getting two billion dollars for 578 00:32:42,240 --> 00:32:45,400 Speaker 3: environmental and it had nothing to do with environmental and 579 00:32:45,400 --> 00:32:47,080 Speaker 3: they had one hundred dollars in the bank and they 580 00:32:47,120 --> 00:32:50,400 Speaker 3: give her two billion. Many many of those cases, all 581 00:32:50,400 --> 00:32:51,760 Speaker 3: that stuff is going to be cut out. 582 00:32:51,760 --> 00:32:55,560 Speaker 2: But we are getting a very very powerful military. 583 00:32:55,600 --> 00:32:58,360 Speaker 3: We have things under order now the likes of which 584 00:32:58,400 --> 00:33:02,320 Speaker 3: we've never had before we at the kind of aircraft, 585 00:33:02,520 --> 00:33:07,120 Speaker 3: the kind of missiles or anything that we have ordered. 586 00:33:07,120 --> 00:33:09,040 Speaker 3: And it's in many ways too bad that we have 587 00:33:09,120 --> 00:33:11,480 Speaker 3: to do it, because hopefully we're not going to have 588 00:33:11,480 --> 00:33:12,040 Speaker 3: to use it. 589 00:33:12,280 --> 00:33:14,440 Speaker 2: But the military is very, very. 590 00:33:14,280 --> 00:33:23,520 Speaker 3: Powerful, and uh, it's going to remain that way. 591 00:33:24,240 --> 00:33:26,160 Speaker 2: Thank you, mister President.
