1
00:00:01,840 --> 00:00:06,160
Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George

2
00:00:06,200 --> 00:00:10,880
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong, Joe Getty arm Strong and

3
00:00:10,960 --> 00:00:23,960
Speaker 1: Jettie and now he Armstrong and Jetty. So there are

4
00:00:24,760 --> 00:00:29,280
Speaker 1: three or four books coming out this spring with the

5
00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:33,680
Speaker 1: behind the scenes on the whole Joe Biden, he's senile

6
00:00:33,720 --> 00:00:35,319
Speaker 1: and we're hiding at Kamala Harris thing.

7
00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:39,000
Speaker 2: You probably that's right wing conspiracy theory, You lunatic.

8
00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:42,240
Speaker 1: He's got a stutter. You probably remember that whole story.

9
00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:46,320
Speaker 1: He's got a stutter. I'm right, And there's another one

10
00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:49,000
Speaker 1: out in the Guided An Interview. We're gonna play some

11
00:00:49,040 --> 00:00:50,680
Speaker 1: clips here in a second, but before we get to that,

12
00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:55,720
Speaker 1: this hasn't gotten much attention, I guess partially because what's

13
00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:58,680
Speaker 1: the point now? But Miranda Devine, pointing out in the

14
00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:05,240
Speaker 1: New York Poe New FBI chat logs, revealed the extraordinary

15
00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:08,920
Speaker 1: gag order that senior leadership used to shut down the

16
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:13,160
Speaker 1: Hunter Biden laptop discussion. Oh yeah, and it's just you know,

17
00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:17,000
Speaker 1: it's it's all in the history books now. But and

18
00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:19,200
Speaker 1: then you know everybody always claims, well, that sort of

19
00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:20,040
Speaker 1: thing couldn't happen.

20
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:22,000
Speaker 2: Now, Well, I was gonna say. That's why you pay

21
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:25,120
Speaker 2: attention to it. You've got to understand what the the

22
00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:28,600
Speaker 2: dangers are and work to build systems that won't allow

23
00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:29,760
Speaker 2: them to happen again.

24
00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:33,520
Speaker 1: The conversation's withheld by the FBI under Director Chris Ray

25
00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:36,959
Speaker 1: show that senior leadership issued an internal gag order on

26
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:39,400
Speaker 1: the laptop. Here's the key thing you need to know.

27
00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:41,840
Speaker 1: When everyone in the country should know, but only half

28
00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:47,360
Speaker 1: the country knows. The FBI was in position of Hunter

29
00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:52,360
Speaker 1: Biden's laptop for ten months before the story broke in

30
00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:56,040
Speaker 1: the New York Post. They'd had it from the you know,

31
00:01:56,080 --> 00:01:58,840
Speaker 1: the computer owner or whatever like that, and their analysts

32
00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:02,760
Speaker 1: quickly to determined right after they got it that the

33
00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:05,880
Speaker 1: laptop did belong to Hunter, had not been tampered with

34
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:08,840
Speaker 1: in anyway, and and could be used as evidence in court.

35
00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:11,519
Speaker 1: It was the real deal. All that stuff was true.

36
00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:14,400
Speaker 1: Nobody had messed with it. It was They decided that

37
00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:19,880
Speaker 1: ten months before the story broke, and then was immediately

38
00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:23,000
Speaker 1: turned into a this is a misinformation can't be printed,

39
00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:25,280
Speaker 1: you know the whole thing there. FBI kept their mouths shut.

40
00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:27,560
Speaker 2: We're not gonna waste our time or our listener's time

41
00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:29,920
Speaker 2: with this story. Yeah, I wish they'd told those fifty

42
00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:33,280
Speaker 2: three whatever it was intelligence professionals that indeed it was legit.

43
00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:37,560
Speaker 1: That's too bad and almost I don't know about certainly,

44
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:40,200
Speaker 1: but you can make a decent argument that Trump would

45
00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:43,280
Speaker 1: have won if that story had been pursued the way

46
00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:44,160
Speaker 1: it should have been pursued.

47
00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:47,800
Speaker 2: Well, it's a change so massive in the landscape that, yeah,

48
00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:49,440
Speaker 2: you can't say that's not true.

49
00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:53,720
Speaker 1: And even if you hate Trump a lot, you can't

50
00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:57,960
Speaker 1: be in favor of hiding the fact that the sitting

51
00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:02,520
Speaker 1: president's son was all kinds of a crook and had

52
00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:05,000
Speaker 1: all these business dealings with all these different companies and

53
00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:07,000
Speaker 1: the money and it's all very confusing and it doesn't

54
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:10,800
Speaker 1: look good. So the hiding that, you can't be in

55
00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:13,080
Speaker 1: favor of that, even if you hate Trump, Right, we

56
00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:14,760
Speaker 1: can't have that in a presidential election.

57
00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:18,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, the FBI ought to be restrained about releasing details

58
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:22,680
Speaker 2: of ongoing investigations, obviously, but so selective they leaked like

59
00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:27,480
Speaker 2: a sieve. If it was detrimental Trump, just unforgivable.

60
00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:32,040
Speaker 1: Any who. So this is a guy named Jonathan Allen,

61
00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:34,560
Speaker 1: respected reporter, got a book out called Fight. He did

62
00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:37,240
Speaker 1: an interview today on Fox and Friends about what he

63
00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:39,840
Speaker 1: has learned or didn't know, or is telling us now

64
00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:43,400
Speaker 1: about the whole Biden Kannalla hairr selection thing. Here we go.

65
00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:46,240
Speaker 3: You know, there's this incredible moment on the day that

66
00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:48,680
Speaker 3: Joe Biden decides to get out of the race. He's

67
00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:50,440
Speaker 3: been getting all this pressure, and he calls her up

68
00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:53,480
Speaker 3: and it's been reported, the very broad outlines were reported.

69
00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:55,160
Speaker 3: As he tells her he's getting out, she says, are

70
00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:57,720
Speaker 3: you sure? He says yes, and that's it. There were

71
00:03:57,760 --> 00:03:59,920
Speaker 3: actually two phone calls between them because she had to

72
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:03,600
Speaker 3: beg Joe Biden to make a quick endorsement right as

73
00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:06,040
Speaker 3: soon as he gets out. She's got to get the delegates,

74
00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:07,960
Speaker 3: she's got to get her whip operation, call all the

75
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:11,280
Speaker 3: members of Congress, the governors, whatever. And Biden's like, I'm

76
00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:14,280
Speaker 3: getting out. I might endorse you like on Thursday, like

77
00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:16,400
Speaker 3: a few days later. I want to take a victory

78
00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:19,680
Speaker 3: lab but soak in my moment. And she's like, Joe,

79
00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:21,359
Speaker 3: you have got to endorse me. And so they go

80
00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:23,080
Speaker 3: back and forth on this before Biden does it.

81
00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:26,000
Speaker 1: If you remember the timeline of this, I mean from

82
00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:30,560
Speaker 1: the debate until he finally stepped down. There are many

83
00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:34,640
Speaker 1: days that she knew he is stepping down. Everybody knew

84
00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:37,440
Speaker 1: it was gonna happen, just when, so she wanted to

85
00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:38,919
Speaker 1: be lined up for that. Let's roll on.

86
00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:42,080
Speaker 3: Obama definitely did not think she should be the Democratic nominee.

87
00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:43,640
Speaker 1: He would not endorse that day either.

88
00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:46,040
Speaker 3: He would not endorse that day either. She talked to him.

89
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:48,279
Speaker 3: He said to her, I don't want to put my

90
00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:52,200
Speaker 3: thumb on the scale. She was disappointed, but not necessarily shocked,

91
00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:54,719
Speaker 3: because he's been behind the scenes trying to undermine her

92
00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:57,240
Speaker 3: for the last several weeks before Biden even got out.

93
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:02,920
Speaker 2: Funny, I'm torn because you could make the argument, Well, no,

94
00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:07,400
Speaker 2: they withheld the endorsement because they believed rightly that there

95
00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:11,320
Speaker 2: should be a vigorous, if short, primary process to let

96
00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:13,359
Speaker 2: the strongest survive and become their candidate.

97
00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:15,599
Speaker 1: They wouldn't have believed that it was Josh Shapiro that

98
00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:16,360
Speaker 1: was the vice president.

99
00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:16,440
Speaker 3: No.

100
00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:18,920
Speaker 2: No, the reality is they withheld the endorsement because she's

101
00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:23,320
Speaker 2: a half wit and has no talent, no political talent whatsoever.

102
00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:28,159
Speaker 1: Wow, So she knew Obama was working behind the scenes

103
00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:31,359
Speaker 1: to try to Yeah, she should probably get some credit

104
00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:34,000
Speaker 1: for organizing the way she did to manage to get

105
00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:34,720
Speaker 1: the Uh.

106
00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:37,279
Speaker 2: Oh, you know what, Yeah, she and her team I

107
00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:40,320
Speaker 2: stand corrected. They have that much political talent. They knew

108
00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:42,400
Speaker 2: how to whip up support in a big hurry to

109
00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:45,120
Speaker 2: make it look like she had to be the nominee

110
00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:47,960
Speaker 2: to avoid all the chaos. They did a good job

111
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:50,640
Speaker 2: of that. Yes, means a good job to the point

112
00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:56,760
Speaker 2: that they like convinced their party that this dope should

113
00:05:56,800 --> 00:06:01,160
Speaker 2: be the nominee. You know what, I stand seriously corrected.

114
00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:02,760
Speaker 2: You gotta tip your cap.

115
00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:05,120
Speaker 1: Well, yes, so she's She and her people are good

116
00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:08,960
Speaker 1: at this, which book was after the one of these

117
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:11,440
Speaker 1: sort of tell all books came out by real reporters

118
00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:15,480
Speaker 1: after the twenty twenty election pointing out what a great

119
00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:19,359
Speaker 1: job she did of knifing When it was when Biden

120
00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:22,200
Speaker 1: was trying to decide who to be his running mate,

121
00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:27,400
Speaker 1: anybody's name popped up, she had an operation in plan

122
00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:30,440
Speaker 1: to get them knifed in the public press, get a

123
00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:32,520
Speaker 1: story out about him, a negative story that would just

124
00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:37,680
Speaker 1: you know, ruin their chances. Yeah, and she was able

125
00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:40,400
Speaker 1: to and Biden at that time. I guess his brain

126
00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:42,880
Speaker 1: still worked enough, having been in DC his whole life.

127
00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:45,080
Speaker 1: He knew that's what was going on. So if somebody's

128
00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:47,599
Speaker 1: name popped, got floated and then they got shut down,

129
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:49,839
Speaker 1: he knew Kamala Harris was working behind the scenes, and

130
00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:52,359
Speaker 1: that's what he liked about her. He thought, Okay, she understands,

131
00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:54,479
Speaker 1: you know, how this whole game works. But how has

132
00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:59,880
Speaker 1: she got that talent but nothing else? Or maybe she

133
00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:03,080
Speaker 1: people with that talent and she can't she has nothing herself.

134
00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:05,719
Speaker 1: I don't know. Let's hear a little more from this reporter.

135
00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:09,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, he needed a fluorescent tape on the Florida Show

136
00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:13,240
Speaker 3: where to Go. He needed telepropters to talk to small groups,

137
00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:16,400
Speaker 3: small donor groups. He would put on makeup early in

138
00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:19,000
Speaker 3: the morning to do cabinet meetings and then sometimes do

139
00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:23,080
Speaker 3: the makeup and not do the meetings right. So they

140
00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:25,040
Speaker 3: all knew that there was a level of decline. I

141
00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:28,480
Speaker 3: think there were varying appreciations for that. We talked to

142
00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:32,080
Speaker 3: one person who said it was particularly steep in early

143
00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:36,480
Speaker 3: twenty twenty four. But they were doing risk mitigation. How

144
00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:39,680
Speaker 3: do we make it less likely that Joe Biden falls

145
00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:43,360
Speaker 3: apart in front of the world. And look, if you

146
00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:46,520
Speaker 3: like the train wreck of what happened on the Democratic

147
00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:49,080
Speaker 3: side with all these cars piling up and all these

148
00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:51,800
Speaker 3: political leaders at odds with each other and being wrong

149
00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:52,880
Speaker 3: about a lot of things.

150
00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:57,200
Speaker 1: This book's for you. So when I originally heard that

151
00:07:57,200 --> 00:08:00,160
Speaker 1: he put on makeup to look less old, well, everybody

152
00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:01,760
Speaker 1: on TV does that. But if he was doing that

153
00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:03,680
Speaker 1: to go into his cabinet meetings for like, for the

154
00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:06,840
Speaker 1: other people in the room, yeah, that's a slightly different thing. Well,

155
00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:10,960
Speaker 1: and I saw him on TV plenty and it didn't work. No,

156
00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:13,440
Speaker 1: maybe he looked less old than he would have, but

157
00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:15,920
Speaker 1: he looked like a man in the very final stages

158
00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:18,080
Speaker 1: of life. How about they put on the makeup and

159
00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:22,040
Speaker 1: then he doesn't go to the cabinet meeting because somebody realizes, yes,

160
00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:25,120
Speaker 1: isn't the day media, He can't go be around people today?

161
00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:28,200
Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, Jonathan Allen didn't mention that. But there's a

162
00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:29,120
Speaker 2: real day to day.

163
00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:30,680
Speaker 1: What kind of day is it going to be if

164
00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:34,559
Speaker 1: anybody's dealt with the tragedy of you know, mental deterioration

165
00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:36,319
Speaker 1: with age, I think we got one more.

166
00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:39,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's sort of this amazing talent that Trump has

167
00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:43,160
Speaker 3: for being in the moment and also seeing it from outside,

168
00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:45,640
Speaker 3: sort of being a stage manager, if you will, and

169
00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:48,240
Speaker 3: he's watching Joe Biden fall a party, seeing these answers

170
00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:51,360
Speaker 3: go terribly. I think people will remember that moment where

171
00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:53,719
Speaker 3: Trump says, I don't know what he just said, and

172
00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:56,719
Speaker 3: I don't think he does either. It's sympathetic, I mean

173
00:08:56,760 --> 00:09:00,000
Speaker 3: for Trump with an opponent on stage, you know, typically

174
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:03,120
Speaker 3: he's not particularly sympathetic, but in this case, he's looking

175
00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:05,880
Speaker 3: at Biden. He's like, this looks harrow and he starts

176
00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:08,840
Speaker 3: thinking to himself, how do I keep hitting this guy

177
00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:11,880
Speaker 3: without looking like a jerk because the media is going

178
00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:14,880
Speaker 3: to talk about how I went off the rails, and

179
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:17,120
Speaker 3: I need to just kind of keep it in and

180
00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:19,559
Speaker 3: not not look like a jerk, not come off poorly.

181
00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:21,839
Speaker 3: And so he reins it in. But that's what's going on,

182
00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:24,760
Speaker 3: according to our sources, in Trump's mind as he's on

183
00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:25,960
Speaker 3: the stage with Joe Biden.

184
00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:29,480
Speaker 1: Wow, that's really interesting. And he played that well because

185
00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:35,280
Speaker 1: if you remember when one of the Castro Brothers yelled

186
00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:38,040
Speaker 1: at Trump during a debate, all right, Biden.

187
00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:41,000
Speaker 2: Appropriately named communist Castro Brothers.

188
00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:43,559
Speaker 1: Yes, he yelled at Biden during a Democratic debate. So

189
00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:45,920
Speaker 1: did you forgot already, you forget already, and he just

190
00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:49,559
Speaker 1: he came off as an a hole, right. Yeah. Trump

191
00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:52,240
Speaker 1: let it hang out there and didn't because he could

192
00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:53,920
Speaker 1: have jumped in and said that sort of thing. Look

193
00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:56,760
Speaker 1: at him, he's senile, he's a mess. He just let it.

194
00:09:56,800 --> 00:10:00,520
Speaker 1: He knew because he understands TV and media. He knew

195
00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:03,160
Speaker 1: all the damage was being done right there next to him.

196
00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:05,839
Speaker 1: He didn't need to do that. Yeah, that is pretty

197
00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:10,320
Speaker 1: well played. Yeah. Oh wow, Well, Gollie G. Turns out

198
00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:12,640
Speaker 1: everything we were saying was exactly correct at the time.

199
00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:16,520
Speaker 1: Soon anyway, has there ever been a more exciting couple

200
00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:22,360
Speaker 1: of weeks since I don't know, Ford Theater in the

201
00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:26,360
Speaker 1: United States politics? Because all that happened so fast, the convention,

202
00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:29,320
Speaker 1: Trump being shot, the debate and all that sort of

203
00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:30,559
Speaker 1: stuff was just, oh my god.

204
00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:33,760
Speaker 2: And now, speaking of exciting weeks, we have giant changes

205
00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:36,079
Speaker 2: in trade policy, for instance, the tariff thing. We will

206
00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:39,040
Speaker 2: get back into that in a few moments. First, though,

207
00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:42,560
Speaker 2: you've been delightful in eating your vegetables, so we've got

208
00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:46,280
Speaker 2: dessert next segment. Do you have the original Clipmichael that

209
00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:47,520
Speaker 2: we talked about, Go ahead and hit that.

210
00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:50,920
Speaker 4: I'm just curious just to better understand your ruling. If

211
00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:55,959
Speaker 4: someone on this committee then starts talking about somebody's bleach blind,

212
00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:59,840
Speaker 4: bad built bush body, that would not be engaging in personalities.

213
00:11:00,679 --> 00:11:06,959
Speaker 1: What now, Chairman, I make a motion. We'll go ahead.

214
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:08,760
Speaker 2: We'll leave it there for now. We'll play the whole

215
00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:11,360
Speaker 2: thing coming back. Well, evidently somebody has made a song

216
00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:11,760
Speaker 2: out of them.

217
00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:13,800
Speaker 1: Of course they have. I think this a required by

218
00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:16,160
Speaker 1: the constitution. So we've got that on the way. Stay here.

219
00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:22,560
Speaker 5: Armstrong Wakefield High is a guinea pig of sorts. Students

220
00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:25,560
Speaker 5: are expected to store their phones in this magnetic locking

221
00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:29,720
Speaker 5: pouch throughout the day. At first there was resistance.

222
00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:33,360
Speaker 4: People were putting dents and holes in the wall, like

223
00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:36,760
Speaker 4: there are tables we had to get fixed.

224
00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:38,880
Speaker 1: Right after we got them. When I walked into the cafeteria,

225
00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:41,719
Speaker 1: all you hear is like the like it's sounded like gunshots.

226
00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:45,600
Speaker 5: Greg Cabana, a government teacher at Wakefield, noticed it too.

227
00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:48,960
Speaker 6: The fact that they're banging pouches around the cafeteria trying

228
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:51,679
Speaker 6: to unlock their phone. This is proving our point right

229
00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:54,480
Speaker 6: here of how meaningful and how powerful that phone is.

230
00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:59,920
Speaker 1: There are different versions of no phones in schools, I've noticed,

231
00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:02,679
Speaker 1: and it makes a difference. I want it to happen

232
00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:06,040
Speaker 1: at any school my kid ever goes to. But some

233
00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:08,240
Speaker 1: of them it's no phone in the classroom. You can

234
00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:11,280
Speaker 1: still like look at it in between classes over lunch hour.

235
00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:13,840
Speaker 1: I like this. You put it in a some sort

236
00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:15,800
Speaker 1: of lock box the beginning of school and you don't

237
00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:17,080
Speaker 1: see it again to the end of the day.

238
00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:19,760
Speaker 2: So that was the early reaction of the policy. They

239
00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:23,760
Speaker 2: were trying desperately to get them out. But what happened next.

240
00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:26,080
Speaker 5: Student care in Mine says it's led to a new

241
00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:27,960
Speaker 5: kind of engagement.

242
00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:29,960
Speaker 1: Even just like at lunch you like talk to each other,

243
00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:31,920
Speaker 1: you know, like people bring games to class.

244
00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:34,640
Speaker 5: You never experienced that kind of engagement. Well, it was

245
00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:37,480
Speaker 5: just like and maybe not since kindergarten, maybe not since preschool.

246
00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:40,679
Speaker 5: When the students and teachers here say, less isolation has

247
00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:42,920
Speaker 5: meant less interpersonal conflict.

248
00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:45,559
Speaker 1: There were a lot less fights. I haven't seen any

249
00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:46,080
Speaker 1: of this year.

250
00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:49,840
Speaker 5: The movement to restrict cell phones in classrooms is growing,

251
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:53,280
Speaker 5: with nine states having already passed a ban or restricted

252
00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:54,640
Speaker 5: cell phone use in schools.

253
00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:57,480
Speaker 1: Do it everywhere immediately? Yeah, there's a difference between the

254
00:12:57,520 --> 00:12:59,520
Speaker 1: restriction and the band though. I want the ban I

255
00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:01,160
Speaker 1: want the you lock it up when you get there

256
00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:03,000
Speaker 1: and you won't see it again until the end. Because

257
00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:05,920
Speaker 1: that lunch hour thing. I don't doubt that a bit.

258
00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:08,960
Speaker 1: And the fights aside, even without that, I don't doubt that.

259
00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:14,600
Speaker 1: Day one. It's obviously different. Yes, with the kids interacting,

260
00:13:14,679 --> 00:13:17,719
Speaker 1: it hurts my heart to hear them. And kids were

261
00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:21,520
Speaker 1: talking and playing games. Yeah, we all freaking did for

262
00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:24,400
Speaker 1: all of human history. Oh back when we had fun,

263
00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:26,079
Speaker 1: and even if you were a little down, you wouldn't

264
00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:31,599
Speaker 1: contemplate suicide anyway. Oh yeah, I know, I know. Technology

265
00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:34,960
Speaker 1: is a double edged sword. Anyway.

266
00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:37,640
Speaker 2: We can talk about that all day. I feel strongly

267
00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:40,040
Speaker 2: about it, but let's move on. I would love to

268
00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:45,079
Speaker 2: play the entire verbal battle between Jasmine Crockett and Marjorie

269
00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:47,240
Speaker 2: Taylor Green a year or two ago, whatever it was

270
00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:51,920
Speaker 2: during a house hearing. It was one of the most

271
00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:57,600
Speaker 2: entertaining Miao miow Congressional cat fights in American history.

272
00:13:57,640 --> 00:13:59,000
Speaker 1: Here's a little bit of it.

273
00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:02,400
Speaker 4: I'm just is just to better understand your ruling. If

274
00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:07,480
Speaker 4: someone on this committee then starts talking about somebody's bleach blonde,

275
00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:11,360
Speaker 4: bad built, butsh body, that would not be engaging in personalities.

276
00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:12,840
Speaker 1: Correct, what now.

277
00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:17,679
Speaker 7: Chairman, I make I make a motion to strike those

278
00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:21,520
Speaker 7: I don't think that's all trying to find clarification on

279
00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:23,200
Speaker 7: what qual emotion.

280
00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:24,680
Speaker 4: Said.

281
00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:27,040
Speaker 7: We're not gonna We're not gonna do this like you

282
00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:28,240
Speaker 7: guys earlier.

283
00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:29,240
Speaker 1: Literally just you.

284
00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:38,200
Speaker 2: Just remember an MTG said something about he probably is

285
00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:41,520
Speaker 2: you can't see through your false eyelashes or something.

286
00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:43,680
Speaker 1: And that's good stuff. That's good stuff.

287
00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:46,960
Speaker 2: Anyway, here's an artist by the name of King Wallonius,

288
00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:49,280
Speaker 2: and there is a twist coming up, but first dig

289
00:14:49,360 --> 00:15:15,000
Speaker 2: his soulful sounds.

290
00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:31,640
Speaker 1: I find this depression. Don't don't play with me. Why

291
00:15:31,640 --> 00:15:35,280
Speaker 1: didn't you explain why you find it depressing? Because it's Ai.

292
00:15:36,480 --> 00:15:39,840
Speaker 1: It's AI, that's right. Barry Gordy is considered one of

293
00:15:39,880 --> 00:15:42,800
Speaker 1: the great musical geniuses of all time for coming up

294
00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:45,280
Speaker 1: with that kind of music and recording it. Apparently you

295
00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:47,720
Speaker 1: can just tell AI to do it, because that is

296
00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:48,600
Speaker 1: really good.

297
00:15:48,720 --> 00:15:53,440
Speaker 2: And Aretha Franklin slash a young Tina Turner maybe were

298
00:15:53,560 --> 00:15:57,040
Speaker 2: once in a generation talents in a computer just essentially

299
00:15:57,800 --> 00:16:03,800
Speaker 2: made them again. Oh singing that song and Supremes the

300
00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:08,480
Speaker 2: background singers there. Uh yeah, that's that's just weird man.

301
00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:11,960
Speaker 1: So what I'm interesting because our producer Hanson was talking

302
00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:16,040
Speaker 1: about this guy does it? So what is his talent?

303
00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:18,840
Speaker 1: Because I don't understand this. I haven't messed around with

304
00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:23,840
Speaker 1: AI enough. What is Does he have a marketable talent

305
00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:26,480
Speaker 1: for being able to put together AI music? Well? Could

306
00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:27,400
Speaker 1: anybody do it? Yeah?

307
00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:30,880
Speaker 2: That's we were momentarily confused because Hanson's like, in guessquad,

308
00:16:30,880 --> 00:16:33,640
Speaker 2: it's AI. I've got a link to the artist who

309
00:16:33,800 --> 00:16:35,880
Speaker 2: produced it, and I'm like, wait, which one is it?

310
00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:38,960
Speaker 2: This guy, evidently, and this is based on the little

311
00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:42,840
Speaker 2: I know about it, is skilled enough in manipulating the

312
00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:49,200
Speaker 2: prompts to, through various iterations, perfect the idea he has

313
00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:51,520
Speaker 2: in his head of what the song ought to sound like.

314
00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:54,000
Speaker 1: I wonder if it'd be like, make it a little

315
00:16:54,040 --> 00:16:56,920
Speaker 1: more like young Tina Turner, No, no, no, a little

316
00:16:56,920 --> 00:16:58,520
Speaker 1: more it would it be like that? Yeah?

317
00:16:58,680 --> 00:17:03,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, a little arethau and then you know, equing it

318
00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:06,480
Speaker 2: and doing the things music producers do. But yeah, well

319
00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:09,080
Speaker 2: wouldn't It'd be great when we're freed up by AI

320
00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:10,840
Speaker 2: to never have to create any more art.

321
00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:16,000
Speaker 1: That's good? What Armstrong and Getty?

322
00:17:17,440 --> 00:17:20,840
Speaker 8: The President announced that baseline ten percent tariff on all

323
00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:25,159
Speaker 8: US imports effective April fifth, and then nations that the

324
00:17:25,160 --> 00:17:29,359
Speaker 8: President considers to be bad actors are facing additional duties. China,

325
00:17:29,400 --> 00:17:32,520
Speaker 8: for instance, gets a total of fifty four percent, Vietnam

326
00:17:32,600 --> 00:17:36,000
Speaker 8: forty six percent, thirty two percent for Taiwan, twenty four

327
00:17:36,040 --> 00:17:39,840
Speaker 8: percent for Japan, and the EU was hit with twenty percent.

328
00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:42,960
Speaker 8: The baseline ten goes into effect on Friday, while about

329
00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:46,000
Speaker 8: sixty countries facing those higher reciprocal tariffs will see those

330
00:17:46,040 --> 00:17:49,159
Speaker 8: rates going to effect April ninth at twelve oh one am.

331
00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:55,000
Speaker 1: Sixty countries deemed bad actors. You're a bad actor, pushing

332
00:17:55,040 --> 00:17:59,400
Speaker 1: the US overall weighted average tariff among the sixty countries

333
00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:02,000
Speaker 1: to twenty five four percent. That's the highest and over

334
00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:05,600
Speaker 1: one hundred years, and likely headed to hiss high as

335
00:18:05,680 --> 00:18:09,680
Speaker 1: twenty seven percent once more expected moves are made.

336
00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:14,919
Speaker 2: And it is literally those numbers you threw around half

337
00:18:15,280 --> 00:18:19,359
Speaker 2: of what those other countries charge our manufacturer not mentioned enough.

338
00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:21,960
Speaker 1: Why isn't that mentioned more often?

339
00:18:22,600 --> 00:18:26,680
Speaker 2: Because it absolutely undermines the Trump is an idiot narrative

340
00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:28,439
Speaker 2: or Trump is a maniac. Well, I just think it

341
00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:30,879
Speaker 2: makes it way more interesting, so I agree completely. I

342
00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:33,320
Speaker 2: didn't know Europe was hitting us with dang near fifty

343
00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:36,240
Speaker 2: percent tariff on everything all these years, and so when

344
00:18:36,280 --> 00:18:39,240
Speaker 2: we raise it to half that it's a trade war.

345
00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:42,480
Speaker 2: I honestly, I mean, I'm not advocating a position. I

346
00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:44,800
Speaker 2: don't know enough about this topic to advocate a position.

347
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:48,359
Speaker 2: I just don't understand as a novice, why Europe hitting

348
00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:51,000
Speaker 2: us with almost fifty percent tariffs and then US coming

349
00:18:51,040 --> 00:18:52,639
Speaker 2: back with twenty or whatever.

350
00:18:52,359 --> 00:18:57,000
Speaker 1: It is is a trade war as opposed to I

351
00:18:57,000 --> 00:19:01,760
Speaker 1: don't know it. It's not. A German economic minister just

352
00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:05,240
Speaker 1: said Trump will quote buckle under pressure if Europe hits

353
00:19:05,280 --> 00:19:08,600
Speaker 1: back at tariffs. You've already hit us with tariffs like

354
00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:12,320
Speaker 1: high tariffs. Yeah, you've been hitting us with fifty, We're

355
00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:15,680
Speaker 1: gonna hit you with twenty. You're gonna you're gonna lash

356
00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:20,040
Speaker 1: back at us and punish us for that. I I

357
00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:24,879
Speaker 1: hate what this is doing to my savings and investments.

358
00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:26,520
Speaker 1: I haven't looked at I haven't I should go to

359
00:19:26,520 --> 00:19:28,040
Speaker 1: four oh one k dot com and see what it

360
00:19:28,080 --> 00:19:28,480
Speaker 1: is today.

361
00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:30,920
Speaker 2: And I'm a tad concerned about how this plays out

362
00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:32,919
Speaker 2: in the medium term. And honestly, even if Trump is

363
00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:35,679
Speaker 2: one hundred percent right about everything. That doesn't mean it

364
00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:39,000
Speaker 2: is going to work out the way he says it's

365
00:19:39,040 --> 00:19:42,720
Speaker 2: going to not clear if he has enough time, and

366
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:45,120
Speaker 2: and like like so many things.

367
00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:48,600
Speaker 1: Why you need that third term? Right, Like so many things.

368
00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:51,480
Speaker 2: The fact that it's executive orders as opposed to congressional

369
00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:56,080
Speaker 2: you know laws, Uh, it means that it could be

370
00:19:56,119 --> 00:19:58,359
Speaker 2: reversed pretty quickly and easily by the next guy to

371
00:19:58,400 --> 00:20:03,800
Speaker 2: come along or gal theoretically. So having said that, though

372
00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:06,720
Speaker 2: I hear the arguments in favor of what he's doing,

373
00:20:06,760 --> 00:20:09,040
Speaker 2: and I find them much much, much more persuasive than

374
00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:13,560
Speaker 2: the arguments against. At this point, we are getting hammered

375
00:20:13,760 --> 00:20:18,360
Speaker 2: with unfair tariffs, have been since WW two is over

376
00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:22,080
Speaker 2: for good enough reasons. We had to get the world's

377
00:20:22,119 --> 00:20:24,560
Speaker 2: economies back on their feet. Otherwise we would have had

378
00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:29,040
Speaker 2: nobody to sell our stuff to. But my question would

379
00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:31,199
Speaker 2: be when was when is that supposed to go on forever?

380
00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:32,600
Speaker 1: Well?

381
00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:35,720
Speaker 2: Right, yeah, exactly, That's that's where I am too. Now

382
00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:39,080
Speaker 2: that I've seen the actual numbers, let me click over

383
00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:43,480
Speaker 2: to them. Your opinion, Union on average charges US thirty

384
00:20:43,520 --> 00:20:46,240
Speaker 2: nine percent we'll call it forty percent in tariffs on

385
00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:50,600
Speaker 2: US goods now, The new Trump's trade war punitive tariffs

386
00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:54,840
Speaker 2: is twenty percent half that Vietnam hits us with ninety

387
00:20:54,880 --> 00:20:57,560
Speaker 2: percent tariffs. We're saying, okay, we're hitting you with forty

388
00:20:57,600 --> 00:21:01,040
Speaker 2: six percent. Taiwan, our good buddy, hit with sixty four

389
00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:05,480
Speaker 2: percent tariffs. They depend on us, so I said before,

390
00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:09,200
Speaker 2: to keep shesen Ping from nude sunbathing on their beach

391
00:21:09,320 --> 00:21:10,240
Speaker 2: with the Red Army.

392
00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:13,280
Speaker 1: Were it not for us, he'd be doing that.

393
00:21:13,359 --> 00:21:16,840
Speaker 2: Today they hit us with sixty four Trump said, okay, fine,

394
00:21:16,840 --> 00:21:20,000
Speaker 2: We're gonna hit you with thirty two. That's the trade war.

395
00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:27,439
Speaker 2: Is it disruptive? Oh hell yeah. Is it shaking up

396
00:21:27,440 --> 00:21:29,600
Speaker 2: all of Wall Street's expectations and plans?

397
00:21:30,080 --> 00:21:31,920
Speaker 1: Oh yeah.

398
00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:34,760
Speaker 2: Are people getting out of stocks at least temporarily because

399
00:21:34,760 --> 00:21:36,280
Speaker 2: they're betting on them going down?

400
00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:36,600
Speaker 1: Yep?

401
00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:39,800
Speaker 2: But how does it play out over two years, five years,

402
00:21:39,840 --> 00:21:43,240
Speaker 2: twenty five years. This is either a debacle or Trump

403
00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:46,399
Speaker 2: will be looked upon as an FDR like figure.

404
00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:50,879
Speaker 1: But in a good way. I hate the stock market analysis.

405
00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:54,720
Speaker 1: I always have. As I've said for many years, economic

406
00:21:54,760 --> 00:21:59,399
Speaker 1: reporting is the dumbest reporting in America. And also there's

407
00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:04,359
Speaker 1: this whenever a Republican does something that causes the stock

408
00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:08,080
Speaker 1: market to go down. Democrats act like the most important

409
00:22:08,080 --> 00:22:11,359
Speaker 1: thing in the world is what big business wants to do. Right,

410
00:22:12,320 --> 00:22:15,520
Speaker 1: They hate big business, they hate capitalism, they hate the

411
00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:19,280
Speaker 1: Wall Street crowd. But it goes down because of a

412
00:22:19,320 --> 00:22:22,840
Speaker 1: Republican decision. The most holy thing we should all look

413
00:22:22,920 --> 00:22:26,520
Speaker 1: to for where we're happy or not, is what Wall

414
00:22:26,560 --> 00:22:27,240
Speaker 1: Street thinks.

415
00:22:27,400 --> 00:22:31,760
Speaker 2: Right's hilarious. Yeah, you people are something. Let's go ahead

416
00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:34,760
Speaker 2: and do Howard Lutnik fifty two's the secretary of Commerce.

417
00:22:35,080 --> 00:22:40,520
Speaker 6: European Union won't take chicken from America. They won't take

418
00:22:40,600 --> 00:22:44,760
Speaker 6: lobsters from America. They hate our beef because our beef

419
00:22:44,920 --> 00:22:49,760
Speaker 6: is beautiful and theirs is weak. It's unbelievable they won't.

420
00:22:49,880 --> 00:22:53,040
Speaker 6: We can't sell corn to India, we can't sell rice

421
00:22:53,160 --> 00:22:53,760
Speaker 6: to Asia.

422
00:22:54,040 --> 00:22:56,600
Speaker 1: Now, the European Union as a whole, this is not

423
00:22:56,640 --> 00:22:58,200
Speaker 1: the way that you look at it. Economies, but it's

424
00:22:58,240 --> 00:23:01,480
Speaker 1: almost as big as ours. So why do they get

425
00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:04,400
Speaker 1: to exclude a bunch of products because of the devastation

426
00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:09,800
Speaker 1: of World War Two? But if we do it, it's something awful.

427
00:23:10,440 --> 00:23:13,520
Speaker 2: By the way, I've adopted your beef as weak as

428
00:23:13,560 --> 00:23:14,560
Speaker 2: my new insult.

429
00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:16,560
Speaker 1: I'm going to go to a steakhouse and say, I'd

430
00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:20,320
Speaker 1: like your beautiful beef, not your week beef. Don't be

431
00:23:20,359 --> 00:23:21,679
Speaker 1: bringing me your week stuff.

432
00:23:23,720 --> 00:23:27,160
Speaker 2: Jd Vance, he's the vice president, Jack Clip fifty eight.

433
00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:30,080
Speaker 9: I wouldn't think of tax cuts as a way to

434
00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:32,640
Speaker 9: offset the tariffsto. Here's the way that I think about

435
00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:35,440
Speaker 9: it is, again, for forty years, we've had an economy

436
00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:39,479
Speaker 9: that rewards people who ship American jobs overseas and raises

437
00:23:39,520 --> 00:23:42,400
Speaker 9: taxes on American workers, and we're flipping that on its head.

438
00:23:42,560 --> 00:23:44,960
Speaker 9: We're going to cut taxes for American workers and for

439
00:23:45,040 --> 00:23:47,679
Speaker 9: American companies that build here. We're going to make it

440
00:23:47,720 --> 00:23:50,560
Speaker 9: harder to ship American jobs overseas.

441
00:23:50,760 --> 00:23:52,040
Speaker 1: It's a total.

442
00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:54,680
Speaker 9: Shift and the way that we've done economic policy in

443
00:23:54,720 --> 00:23:56,000
Speaker 9: the United States of America.

444
00:23:56,200 --> 00:23:58,280
Speaker 1: But it was necessary. So, yeah, we're going to cut

445
00:23:58,320 --> 00:23:58,800
Speaker 1: your taxes.

446
00:23:58,840 --> 00:24:00,359
Speaker 9: You're going to have more money in your pocket, and

447
00:24:00,359 --> 00:24:02,320
Speaker 9: that's of course going to help you deal with the

448
00:24:02,359 --> 00:24:05,520
Speaker 9: cost of inflation. But that's not about offsetting the tariffs.

449
00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:09,800
Speaker 9: They work together penalized people for shipping our jobs overseas.

450
00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:12,560
Speaker 9: We want to reward hard working Americans. It's all part

451
00:24:12,640 --> 00:24:13,640
Speaker 9: of the same policy.

452
00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:16,480
Speaker 1: M I don't like it when say people say penalize.

453
00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:21,560
Speaker 1: What's Canada's uh tariff on us? What do they do

454
00:24:21,560 --> 00:24:23,639
Speaker 1: to us? Because I'm watching the Canadian Prime minister up

455
00:24:23,640 --> 00:24:26,879
Speaker 1: there talking about how Trump's tariffs are so miskits. The

456
00:24:26,880 --> 00:24:28,840
Speaker 1: old guy wearing his panties are the new guy. I

457
00:24:28,880 --> 00:24:31,440
Speaker 1: don't think they have a new guy. It's the new guy. Nah,

458
00:24:31,520 --> 00:24:33,560
Speaker 1: they don't have they haven't had an election yet. Well,

459
00:24:33,560 --> 00:24:36,320
Speaker 1: they call him the Canadian prime minister. Is that the

460
00:24:36,320 --> 00:24:38,520
Speaker 1: guy right there? No, the guy that was just honest,

461
00:24:38,560 --> 00:24:41,600
Speaker 1: He was the Canadians right, fair enough? Uh, he's a

462
00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:43,439
Speaker 1: caretaker jack. Well, that's true.

463
00:24:43,760 --> 00:24:48,120
Speaker 2: Uh, where's Canada stand by? They're not listed in alphabetical order.

464
00:24:50,560 --> 00:24:52,600
Speaker 2: They don't have Canada on this chart. I'll have to

465
00:24:52,600 --> 00:24:53,040
Speaker 2: look it up.

466
00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:56,240
Speaker 1: Trudeau had to step down because he's going through menopause.

467
00:24:58,480 --> 00:25:02,359
Speaker 1: Well played, What was I going to say? You've distracted me?

468
00:25:02,400 --> 00:25:07,359
Speaker 1: Now as you want to do fifty two B?

469
00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:09,560
Speaker 2: Michael? Do you have that? I don't have a time

470
00:25:09,600 --> 00:25:11,360
Speaker 2: on it. It's not like five minutes long, is it.

471
00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:13,399
Speaker 1: That's right.

472
00:25:13,440 --> 00:25:15,040
Speaker 6: The story I was trying to tell you is that

473
00:25:15,160 --> 00:25:18,119
Speaker 6: when we took cars from Korea in twenty twelve when

474
00:25:18,160 --> 00:25:20,680
Speaker 6: I grew up, there was no Korean cars in America.

475
00:25:20,720 --> 00:25:23,280
Speaker 6: When we took cars from Korea, the deal was we

476
00:25:23,320 --> 00:25:24,919
Speaker 6: could sell ag to Korea.

477
00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:25,720
Speaker 1: That was the deal.

478
00:25:25,920 --> 00:25:28,399
Speaker 6: They wouldn't let McDonald's bring in French fries because they

479
00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:30,600
Speaker 6: couldn't prove the origin of the French fry.

480
00:25:30,880 --> 00:25:32,560
Speaker 1: That is not a tariff.

481
00:25:32,840 --> 00:25:35,120
Speaker 6: That is called a non tariff trade barrier.

482
00:25:35,160 --> 00:25:35,919
Speaker 1: They take their.

483
00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:39,800
Speaker 6: Taxes and they subsidize their steel industry, or they subsidize

484
00:25:39,880 --> 00:25:42,840
Speaker 6: their energy, or they subsidize they give the tax back

485
00:25:42,880 --> 00:25:44,200
Speaker 6: to their car manufacturer.

486
00:25:44,560 --> 00:25:47,680
Speaker 1: This stuff has got to stop. America's got to stop.

487
00:25:47,400 --> 00:25:50,760
Speaker 6: Being exploited, and you're going to see America prosper. And

488
00:25:50,800 --> 00:25:54,120
Speaker 6: then and only then will Donald Trump make a deal

489
00:25:54,160 --> 00:25:57,880
Speaker 6: with each country when they've really really changed their ways.

490
00:25:58,320 --> 00:26:01,240
Speaker 6: Then they go stack down the road, but not run

491
00:26:01,400 --> 00:26:01,920
Speaker 6: back off.

492
00:26:02,080 --> 00:26:03,800
Speaker 1: And that's not off.

493
00:26:03,840 --> 00:26:06,400
Speaker 6: That is, let the deal maker make his deals when

494
00:26:07,160 --> 00:26:11,200
Speaker 6: and only if these countries can change everything about themselves,

495
00:26:11,440 --> 00:26:12,920
Speaker 6: which I doubt they will.

496
00:26:13,440 --> 00:26:15,440
Speaker 1: Hey, lady, you can't say so, you'll braack off down

497
00:26:15,480 --> 00:26:18,520
Speaker 1: the road. That's not dway Negotia and it works. Wow, man,

498
00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:22,920
Speaker 1: the media sucks. Yes, Katie, Canada is charging the United

499
00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:28,200
Speaker 1: States to twenty five percent tariff and our beautiful fifty

500
00:26:28,200 --> 00:26:28,640
Speaker 1: for state.

501
00:26:29,720 --> 00:26:32,480
Speaker 2: And there are other non trade barriers too that Canada

502
00:26:32,480 --> 00:26:35,240
Speaker 2: protects its beef, I think, or that sort of thing.

503
00:26:35,280 --> 00:26:37,800
Speaker 2: The non trade barriers or I'm sorry, non tariff trade

504
00:26:37,800 --> 00:26:39,320
Speaker 2: barriers are an important.

505
00:26:39,119 --> 00:26:39,720
Speaker 1: Facet of this.

506
00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:43,560
Speaker 2: It's much more complicated than your talking head morons make it.

507
00:26:43,760 --> 00:26:46,880
Speaker 2: South Korea, by the way, our great close ally who

508
00:26:46,920 --> 00:26:53,959
Speaker 2: again Kim Jong oun would be sucking down sushi in Gangnam?

509
00:26:54,520 --> 00:26:56,359
Speaker 2: Took me a minute to come up with that, remember

510
00:26:56,400 --> 00:26:58,200
Speaker 2: that son?

511
00:26:58,560 --> 00:26:59,879
Speaker 1: Anyway? Where was I?

512
00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:03,440
Speaker 2: Oh, Kim Jong owned be sugging out sushi and Gangnam

513
00:27:03,520 --> 00:27:03,880
Speaker 2: right now?

514
00:27:03,960 --> 00:27:05,280
Speaker 1: If it wasn't for the USA.

515
00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:09,760
Speaker 2: South Korea charges US fifty percent tariffs on average, and

516
00:27:09,800 --> 00:27:12,200
Speaker 2: Trump's punitive trade war tariffs on them are going to

517
00:27:12,240 --> 00:27:15,080
Speaker 2: be twenty five percent half of it Trump's say you

518
00:27:15,080 --> 00:27:17,040
Speaker 2: can trade wolver Yeah.

519
00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:21,720
Speaker 1: So somebody smart before tomorrow email us with your you know,

520
00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:27,720
Speaker 1: phdevil PhD level treatise on explaining why they get to

521
00:27:27,760 --> 00:27:33,160
Speaker 1: tariff US so high and were retaliating with less is

522
00:27:33,240 --> 00:27:36,280
Speaker 1: unholy in a trade war. Because I really really.

523
00:27:36,040 --> 00:27:39,200
Speaker 2: Do want to know if I'm seriously wrong on any

524
00:27:39,240 --> 00:27:39,520
Speaker 2: of this.

525
00:27:40,440 --> 00:27:45,280
Speaker 1: I'm a strong position. So here's Charles Payin of Fox. Interesting, dude.

526
00:27:45,480 --> 00:27:47,280
Speaker 10: The last thing we want to focus on right now

527
00:27:47,359 --> 00:27:49,480
Speaker 10: is the stock market. So there's a lot of culports here,

528
00:27:49,520 --> 00:27:51,240
Speaker 10: but we finally have woken up, and I think the

529
00:27:51,240 --> 00:27:54,280
Speaker 10: American publicly've been making a huge mistake to watch the

530
00:27:54,320 --> 00:27:57,880
Speaker 10: stock market. In fact, the administration says, listen, we want

531
00:27:57,920 --> 00:27:59,399
Speaker 10: to if you want to see where we're going, what

532
00:27:59,440 --> 00:28:02,399
Speaker 10: we like to do. Particularly remember President Trump was elected

533
00:28:02,440 --> 00:28:05,080
Speaker 10: first and foremost to bring inflation down, so you want

534
00:28:05,119 --> 00:28:07,040
Speaker 10: they want to see the dollar come down a little bit.

535
00:28:07,080 --> 00:28:08,879
Speaker 10: It's been too strong and it's going to need to

536
00:28:08,880 --> 00:28:12,000
Speaker 10: come down, probably to fight out some of the countermeasures.

537
00:28:12,040 --> 00:28:13,840
Speaker 1: The stock market. I would not worry at all.

538
00:28:13,880 --> 00:28:16,560
Speaker 10: In fact, I'd be a buyer of weakness, not a panic.

539
00:28:16,680 --> 00:28:19,400
Speaker 10: Not panic here. That's my message to America.

540
00:28:19,600 --> 00:28:22,119
Speaker 1: And so I mentioned this earlier the Financial Times with

541
00:28:22,320 --> 00:28:25,080
Speaker 1: an article out today. We should not wish for American

542
00:28:25,119 --> 00:28:27,679
Speaker 1: workers to return to the days of sewing tennis shoes

543
00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:32,399
Speaker 1: together in factories, which is weird, Like okay, what so

544
00:28:32,520 --> 00:28:36,280
Speaker 1: be better to be unemployed than to be sewing tennis

545
00:28:36,320 --> 00:28:39,720
Speaker 1: shoes because that fake disability getting welfare because that's beneath us.

546
00:28:39,720 --> 00:28:41,320
Speaker 1: I don't quite understand that argument.

547
00:28:41,560 --> 00:28:43,760
Speaker 2: But then there's hyping into a computer in a cubicle,

548
00:28:44,400 --> 00:28:47,920
Speaker 2: or to death and getting diabetes. I mean, what is

549
00:28:47,920 --> 00:28:49,240
Speaker 2: that argument exactly?

550
00:28:49,400 --> 00:28:50,200
Speaker 1: I don't know.

551
00:28:50,840 --> 00:28:54,160
Speaker 2: We're too good for that. Let those weird yellow people

552
00:28:54,200 --> 00:28:58,360
Speaker 2: in Vietnam do it. You're phrasing the unspoken point of

553
00:28:58,440 --> 00:28:59,600
Speaker 2: view being expressed there.

554
00:28:59,840 --> 00:29:04,320
Speaker 1: So it's good that Converse took their shoe manufacturing to

555
00:29:05,040 --> 00:29:06,520
Speaker 1: wherever they're made, not I think Vietnam.

556
00:29:07,200 --> 00:29:10,120
Speaker 2: But so we could all design iPhones. I know I've

557
00:29:10,160 --> 00:29:13,560
Speaker 2: designed seven or eight myself. Yeah, I don't finish.

558
00:29:13,360 --> 00:29:15,880
Speaker 1: That thought for me there. Whoever's writing that I should

559
00:29:15,880 --> 00:29:17,880
Speaker 1: read the whole article. It's in the Financial Times of Day.

560
00:29:17,920 --> 00:29:23,000
Speaker 1: But I was working toward the idea that there's the

561
00:29:23,400 --> 00:29:26,840
Speaker 1: whole national security aspect of not having any manufacturing, which

562
00:29:26,880 --> 00:29:29,600
Speaker 1: we've talked about, and Trump is brought up that if

563
00:29:29,600 --> 00:29:31,680
Speaker 1: we ever had to ramp up for a war or

564
00:29:31,760 --> 00:29:36,840
Speaker 1: another global pandemic or whatever, we don't make anything, what

565
00:29:37,360 --> 00:29:37,960
Speaker 1: are we going to do?

566
00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:42,320
Speaker 2: We could build an awesome fleet of AI battleships and

567
00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:46,000
Speaker 2: send them into a simulation against China. Well, they're building

568
00:29:46,040 --> 00:29:47,040
Speaker 2: the ones made of metal.

569
00:29:47,160 --> 00:29:50,680
Speaker 1: We could have a tremendous number of college graduates argue

570
00:29:50,680 --> 00:29:57,960
Speaker 1: with them about equity and gender. Any who this complex

571
00:29:58,040 --> 00:30:01,040
Speaker 1: as that's first thing joseid today is very, very complicated

572
00:30:01,120 --> 00:30:06,040
Speaker 1: and disruptive, Absolutely no doubt about that. Anybody who pretends

573
00:30:06,120 --> 00:30:07,840
Speaker 1: they know how this is going to turn out has

574
00:30:07,880 --> 00:30:08,720
Speaker 1: got to be lying.

575
00:30:09,080 --> 00:30:12,760
Speaker 2: Appears to note. Joe is seriously wrong. Joe's good to

576
00:30:12,800 --> 00:30:15,080
Speaker 2: his word. I have a great recipe for crow taco.

577
00:30:16,640 --> 00:30:17,160
Speaker 2: That's funny.

578
00:30:17,200 --> 00:30:18,680
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna have to crow because I haven't made

579
00:30:18,680 --> 00:30:21,360
Speaker 1: any strong statements. I honestly, I am just asking because

580
00:30:21,400 --> 00:30:24,640
Speaker 1: I don't know it just it doesn't make sense to

581
00:30:24,640 --> 00:30:28,280
Speaker 1: me on the face of it. All Right, here's okay.

582
00:30:28,840 --> 00:30:32,280
Speaker 2: Steve says, you've been stuckreed because the terifrates are actually

583
00:30:32,320 --> 00:30:34,600
Speaker 2: based on trade deficits, which is a completely different thing

584
00:30:34,600 --> 00:30:37,760
Speaker 2: and shows the depths of dishonesty by the administration. Cambodia,

585
00:30:37,800 --> 00:30:40,400
Speaker 2: for instance, has an actual average tarifrate around ten percent,

586
00:30:40,760 --> 00:30:43,720
Speaker 2: not anywhere near the ninety something percent shown neither of

587
00:30:43,760 --> 00:30:46,240
Speaker 2: South Korea imposing fifty percent tariffs. One could take the

588
00:30:46,280 --> 00:30:49,440
Speaker 2: position that we should harmonize terifrates and perhaps push back

589
00:30:49,440 --> 00:30:51,880
Speaker 2: on foreign government to export subsidies, but it shouldn't be

590
00:30:51,880 --> 00:30:56,560
Speaker 2: based on complete fabrications of data. I would agree with you, Steve,

591
00:30:56,640 --> 00:31:03,360
Speaker 2: one hundred percent, if that's correct. My only rejoinder would

592
00:31:03,360 --> 00:31:06,120
Speaker 2: be the Wall Street Journal editorial board apparently hasn't been

593
00:31:06,120 --> 00:31:11,600
Speaker 2: informed of that, because they haven't said that they hate

594
00:31:11,640 --> 00:31:12,440
Speaker 2: these tariffs.

595
00:31:12,760 --> 00:31:15,120
Speaker 1: Why have they not brought that up? I like the

596
00:31:15,120 --> 00:31:21,160
Speaker 1: idea of harmonizing the rates. That'd be good for everyone.

597
00:31:21,440 --> 00:31:22,959
Speaker 1: Uh more in the way and you can Texas four

598
00:31:23,040 --> 00:31:25,480
Speaker 1: one five two nine five kftc.

599
00:31:25,040 --> 00:31:28,640
Speaker 6: Our beef is beautiful.

600
00:31:30,600 --> 00:31:32,800
Speaker 11: I heard about a woman in Pennsylvania who was looking

601
00:31:32,800 --> 00:31:35,960
Speaker 11: for a jacket that she donated to charity after realizing

602
00:31:36,080 --> 00:31:39,280
Speaker 11: she left the two point five million dollar lottery ticket

603
00:31:39,480 --> 00:31:43,400
Speaker 11: in the pocket. It's tough going back to a charity like, hey,

604
00:31:43,440 --> 00:31:44,520
Speaker 11: I accidentally gave.

605
00:31:44,320 --> 00:31:52,560
Speaker 1: You money, an unfortunate error. I feel like there's a

606
00:31:52,640 --> 00:31:56,560
Speaker 1: reason you're playing the lottery on a regular basis. Well, dear,

607
00:31:56,720 --> 00:31:59,720
Speaker 1: you're very judgmental about that. I am we have for

608
00:31:59,760 --> 00:32:00,440
Speaker 1: your trap.

609
00:32:00,520 --> 00:32:05,640
Speaker 2: That's true, we don't so yes, I am enjoying a

610
00:32:05,920 --> 00:32:11,320
Speaker 2: delightful crow taco right now. A couple of folks have

611
00:32:11,680 --> 00:32:15,560
Speaker 2: sent this along, and what's amazing. Is I just I

612
00:32:15,600 --> 00:32:19,000
Speaker 2: did a very quick and cursory check. But the big

613
00:32:19,080 --> 00:32:20,480
Speaker 2: publications aren't.

614
00:32:21,200 --> 00:32:23,920
Speaker 1: Writing about this or getting to my point about how

615
00:32:24,000 --> 00:32:28,640
Speaker 1: awful economic coverage is. Yeah, I've got to scanning real

616
00:32:28,760 --> 00:32:30,080
Speaker 1: quick because I want to get that right. All right,

617
00:32:30,080 --> 00:32:30,600
Speaker 1: here's the deal.

618
00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:33,959
Speaker 2: Here is the actual statement from the Administration on the

619
00:32:33,960 --> 00:32:38,080
Speaker 2: reciprocal tariff calculations from the Office of the United States

620
00:32:38,080 --> 00:32:41,720
Speaker 2: Trade Representative. Reciprocal tariffs are calculated as a terraff f

621
00:32:41,760 --> 00:32:44,920
Speaker 2: right necessary to balance bilateral trade deficits between the US

622
00:32:44,920 --> 00:32:48,000
Speaker 2: and each of our trading partners. That premise is a

623
00:32:48,040 --> 00:32:52,680
Speaker 2: little wobbly the calculator because again, a giant rich country

624
00:32:52,720 --> 00:32:54,720
Speaker 2: is going to buy way more than it sells to

625
00:32:54,800 --> 00:32:55,880
Speaker 2: a small poor.

626
00:32:55,720 --> 00:32:57,640
Speaker 1: Country for obvious reasons.

627
00:32:57,720 --> 00:33:00,480
Speaker 2: This calculation assumes that persistent trade deficis it's are due

628
00:33:00,520 --> 00:33:03,000
Speaker 2: to a combination of tariff and non terror factors that

629
00:33:03,040 --> 00:33:08,160
Speaker 2: prevent trade from balancing tariffs work through direct reductions of imports. Again,

630
00:33:08,400 --> 00:33:10,200
Speaker 2: there are a lot of factors that have nothing to

631
00:33:10,200 --> 00:33:14,280
Speaker 2: do with tariffs and non terr effact like barriers to trade.

632
00:33:14,440 --> 00:33:17,320
Speaker 2: Reciprocal teriff rates range from zero percent to ninety nine percent,

633
00:33:17,320 --> 00:33:19,920
Speaker 2: with unweighted and import weighted averages of twenty percent forty

634
00:33:19,920 --> 00:33:22,719
Speaker 2: one percent, and then they go into a couple of

635
00:33:22,760 --> 00:33:29,720
Speaker 2: pages of details. So it is, yeah, it's misleading. The

636
00:33:29,800 --> 00:33:33,400
Speaker 2: approach that the administration is taking is misleading.

637
00:33:33,520 --> 00:33:37,640
Speaker 1: So saying so the Trump administration saying Vietnam has whatever

638
00:33:37,640 --> 00:33:39,760
Speaker 1: it is, a ninety percent tariff on things come in

639
00:33:39,760 --> 00:33:43,320
Speaker 1: the United States is not accurate. No, no, it's not okay.

640
00:33:43,480 --> 00:33:46,800
Speaker 2: So they have and the left does this constantly and

641
00:33:46,880 --> 00:33:50,200
Speaker 2: it makes me insane. They've essentially used words that sound

642
00:33:50,360 --> 00:33:54,240
Speaker 2: like something you think you know what they mean. Reciprocal

643
00:33:54,560 --> 00:34:01,880
Speaker 2: means mutually equal, right, good for the goose, good for

644
00:34:01,920 --> 00:34:05,000
Speaker 2: the gander, Well right, exactly, and this is not reciprocal

645
00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:11,640
Speaker 2: in the standard way. Now, I think my premise, my

646
00:34:11,719 --> 00:34:15,000
Speaker 2: conclusion is still right in that there are tariff and

647
00:34:15,040 --> 00:34:18,400
Speaker 2: non tariff barriers to US exports that are outrageous and

648
00:34:18,520 --> 00:34:23,480
Speaker 2: ridiculous and that ought to be equalized. But the administration

649
00:34:23,680 --> 00:34:27,239
Speaker 2: is greasing the skids by using numbers that aren't what

650
00:34:27,280 --> 00:34:27,880
Speaker 2: they seem to be.

651
00:34:28,120 --> 00:34:30,040
Speaker 1: I can't believe Europe won't let our beef in. What

652
00:34:30,040 --> 00:34:31,680
Speaker 1: do they eat for steak over there? Do they get

653
00:34:31,719 --> 00:34:34,440
Speaker 1: it from? Where do they get it from I don't know,

654
00:34:34,560 --> 00:34:39,560
Speaker 1: French beef, India. No, they European. You see the cows

655
00:34:39,600 --> 00:34:43,600
Speaker 1: there in England, right, your Jersey cattle. They don't have

656
00:34:43,719 --> 00:34:48,200
Speaker 1: enough feed lots to feed Europe. They don't beef over there. Well,

657
00:34:48,280 --> 00:34:53,640
Speaker 1: is that it? Why don't they beef? Is beautiful? I agree?

658
00:34:54,800 --> 00:34:59,200
Speaker 2: Hmm uh so okay, well I stand at least enlightened.

659
00:34:59,360 --> 00:35:02,279
Speaker 1: If not, well, maybe we're all going to get at

660
00:35:02,360 --> 00:35:07,200
Speaker 1: least a one hundred level class on international tariffs over

661
00:35:07,239 --> 00:35:11,680
Speaker 1: the next several days or weeks. Yeah, where this settles

662
00:35:11,800 --> 00:35:14,040
Speaker 1: in the next several days or weeks is anybody's guests

663
00:35:14,080 --> 00:35:17,480
