1 00:00:01,600 --> 00:00:06,240 Speaker 1: China fighting back, imposing a thirty four percent tariff on 2 00:00:06,519 --> 00:00:11,280 Speaker 1: all US imports. The announcement coming on Friday morning that 3 00:00:11,360 --> 00:00:14,720 Speaker 1: they imposed that thirty four percent tariff on all US 4 00:00:14,840 --> 00:00:19,760 Speaker 1: goods in retaliation for President Donald Trump's Liberation Day tariffs 5 00:00:19,760 --> 00:00:22,960 Speaker 1: on Wednesday. The Chinese tariff hike is scheduled to take 6 00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:26,560 Speaker 1: effect on April tenth. The Chinese government said it had 7 00:00:26,600 --> 00:00:29,920 Speaker 1: filed the lawsuit with the World Trade Organization the WTO, 8 00:00:30,360 --> 00:00:33,800 Speaker 1: also over the Trump tariffs, saying, quote, the United States 9 00:00:34,120 --> 00:00:39,960 Speaker 1: imposition of so called reciprocal tariffs seriously violates WTO rules, 10 00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:44,280 Speaker 1: seriously damages the legitimate rights and interests of WTO members, 11 00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:50,000 Speaker 1: and seriously undermines the rules based multilateral trading system and 12 00:00:50,159 --> 00:00:55,400 Speaker 1: international economic and trade order, the Chinese Commerce Ministry said 13 00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:58,600 Speaker 1: in a statement announcing their retaliatory tariffs. 14 00:00:59,080 --> 00:00:59,240 Speaker 2: Now. 15 00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:02,960 Speaker 1: China obviously imposed a fifteen percent tariff on coal and 16 00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:06,920 Speaker 1: liquefied natural gas from the United States of America, as 17 00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:11,240 Speaker 1: well as a ten percent tariff on crude oil, agricultural machinery, 18 00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:14,480 Speaker 1: and certain motor vehicles as part of the escalating trade 19 00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:19,240 Speaker 1: war with the United States. The retaliatory actions on Friday 20 00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:24,520 Speaker 1: morning also included more export controls on rare earth materials, 21 00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:28,840 Speaker 1: which are vital to manufacturing products such as computer chips 22 00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:33,640 Speaker 1: and electric vehicles. The ev batteries are something that China 23 00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:38,720 Speaker 1: has a major impact on worldwide and in America. Also, more 24 00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:42,160 Speaker 1: US firms added to a list of companies under the 25 00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:48,680 Speaker 1: trade sanctions for exporting quote dual use products within military 26 00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:54,480 Speaker 1: applications that also in this retaliatory tariff. China on Friday 27 00:01:54,600 --> 00:02:00,960 Speaker 1: also halted poultry imports from two American companies. They claimed, 28 00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:03,920 Speaker 1: and this is not a joke, it was because of 29 00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:08,200 Speaker 1: quote banded drugs were detected in the chicken products that 30 00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:12,560 Speaker 1: they shipped to China. Pretty rich for a country that 31 00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:15,920 Speaker 1: created the well Luhan Corona virus. 32 00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:19,960 Speaker 3: Of course, this is all I in retaliatory. I'm sure. 33 00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:25,160 Speaker 1: China's Customs Administration also issued a separate statement it will 34 00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:29,600 Speaker 1: suspend imports of poultry meat and bone meal animal feed 35 00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:34,720 Speaker 1: from Mountain Air Farms of Delaware and three other American companies. 36 00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:40,240 Speaker 1: President Trump dismissed China's retaliatory actions, saying Beijing played it 37 00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:45,240 Speaker 1: wrong and panicked. After his tariffs were announced, Trump said 38 00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:49,560 Speaker 1: panicking was the one thing that they cannot afford to do. Now, 39 00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:52,000 Speaker 1: it's not all doom and gloom, but many in the 40 00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:54,520 Speaker 1: media are doing everything he can to try to use 41 00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:57,839 Speaker 1: this to tank Donald Trump. So what is the real 42 00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:00,640 Speaker 1: impact of a stock market that is obviously having a 43 00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:04,360 Speaker 1: significant change if you're looking at it, Yes, there is 44 00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:08,560 Speaker 1: quote panic from some others. However, are seeing a huge 45 00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:12,639 Speaker 1: opportunity to buy stocks at a major discount, so when 46 00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:15,880 Speaker 1: the market rebounds, it will be huge gains. 47 00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:17,919 Speaker 3: Charles Pain at Fox. 48 00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:22,519 Speaker 1: Business put it this way about what all this means interesting. 49 00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:25,760 Speaker 4: Aspect of the stock market's reaction to quote unquote uncertainty. 50 00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:30,320 Speaker 4: When we approach a crosswalk, you know, particularly let's say 51 00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:33,239 Speaker 4: a woman out street, a street without traffic lights, there's 52 00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:35,880 Speaker 4: always additional risk, right then if there's heavy traffic, there's 53 00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:38,040 Speaker 4: even more risk, and then if it's rush hour, there's 54 00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:38,880 Speaker 4: even more risk. 55 00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:40,080 Speaker 3: All of that adds up. 56 00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:43,000 Speaker 4: To significant uncertainty, and in some cases we find an 57 00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:45,880 Speaker 4: alternative route. Of course, the stock markets the opposite, right, 58 00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:48,440 Speaker 4: The hints of this market are kennon to running into 59 00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:50,839 Speaker 4: that traffic head on during the height of rush hour. 60 00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:53,400 Speaker 4: In other words, folks, the market is acting with a 61 00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:56,920 Speaker 4: certainty that the corporate bottom lines are going to be slimmed. 62 00:03:57,320 --> 00:03:59,920 Speaker 4: So the question is for investors, at what point is 63 00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:02,840 Speaker 4: the damage so excessive that even though it doesn't feel 64 00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:04,560 Speaker 4: like the coast is clear, maybe it will be. 65 00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:05,040 Speaker 5: Now. 66 00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:06,520 Speaker 4: A lot of this comes down in the hopes that 67 00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:10,080 Speaker 4: with President Trump, maybe as far as that Trump put 68 00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:12,880 Speaker 4: that starting in the fad here, because well, listen, this 69 00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:14,640 Speaker 4: is just one of the posts from today. He remains 70 00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:17,320 Speaker 4: step fast. He says, ignore the markets. The boom will 71 00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:20,159 Speaker 4: come later. And a lot of sophisticated investors believe that 72 00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:23,039 Speaker 4: because it's worked over two hundred years, it's happened, But 73 00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:25,200 Speaker 4: in the midst of it, it does not feel that well. 74 00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:28,240 Speaker 1: Now, Charles Pain isn't the only one saying that, Hey, 75 00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:31,039 Speaker 1: relaxed for a moment, and this is going to be 76 00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:36,600 Speaker 1: short term pain with major American goals of success, especially 77 00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:40,480 Speaker 1: for American workers down the road. Even the Fed chairman 78 00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:44,160 Speaker 1: was asked today about the economy, and what did he 79 00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:46,960 Speaker 1: say after some record job numbers came in. 80 00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:48,600 Speaker 3: Here is his own words. 81 00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:52,760 Speaker 6: The economy is still in a good place. The incoming 82 00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:56,400 Speaker 6: data show solid growth, a labor market in balance, and 83 00:04:56,480 --> 00:05:00,840 Speaker 6: inflation running much closer to but still above our two objective. 84 00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:05,600 Speaker 6: After a couple of years of solid growth, many forecasters 85 00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:09,839 Speaker 6: have anticipated somewhat slower growth this year. The initial reading 86 00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:12,880 Speaker 6: for first quarter GDP will be released later this month. 87 00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:16,800 Speaker 6: The limited hard data are consistent, though with a slower 88 00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:20,880 Speaker 6: but still solid growth outlook. At the same time, surveys 89 00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:25,839 Speaker 6: of households and businesses report dimming expectations and higher uncertainty 90 00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:29,400 Speaker 6: about the outlook. Survey respondents point to the effects of 91 00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:33,320 Speaker 6: the new federal policies, especially related to trade. We are 92 00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:36,919 Speaker 6: closely watching this tension between the hard and the soft data. 93 00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:41,120 Speaker 6: As the new policies and their likely economic effects become clearer, 94 00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:43,560 Speaker 6: we will have a better sense of their implications for 95 00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:49,039 Speaker 6: the economy and for monetary policy. Looking across many indicators, 96 00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:51,960 Speaker 6: the labor market appears to be broadly in balanced and 97 00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:56,440 Speaker 6: not a significant source of inflationary pressure. This morning's jobs 98 00:05:56,480 --> 00:05:59,320 Speaker 6: report showed the unemployment rate at four point two percent 99 00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:02,240 Speaker 6: in March, still in the low range where it is 100 00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:06,440 Speaker 6: held since early last year. Over the first quarters a quarter, 101 00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:08,760 Speaker 6: payrolls grew by an average of one hundred and fifty 102 00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:13,240 Speaker 6: thousand jobs per month. The combination of low layoffs, moderating 103 00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:17,039 Speaker 6: job growth and slowing labor force growth has kept the 104 00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:21,800 Speaker 6: unemployment rate broadly stable. Turning to the other leg of 105 00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:25,480 Speaker 6: our dual mandate, inflation has declined sharply from its pandemic 106 00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:29,080 Speaker 6: highs of mid twenty twenty two. It is done so 107 00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:32,960 Speaker 6: without the kind of painful rise in unemployment that has 108 00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:36,719 Speaker 6: often accompanied periods of tight monetary policy that are needed 109 00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:40,880 Speaker 6: to reduce inflation. More recently, progress toward our two percent 110 00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:45,880 Speaker 6: inflation objective has slowed. Total PCEE prices rose two point 111 00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:49,160 Speaker 6: five percent over the twelve months ending in February. Core 112 00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:53,120 Speaker 6: PCE prices, which exclude the volatile food and energy categories, 113 00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:54,599 Speaker 6: rose two point eight percent. 114 00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:58,280 Speaker 1: So even the Fed Chairman Powe is saying, hey, our 115 00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:01,120 Speaker 1: economy is good, Our economy can handle this. With the 116 00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:05,400 Speaker 1: President's doing right now is something that is long overdue. 117 00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:08,440 Speaker 1: And yes, there are some short term hiccups here. And 118 00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:10,920 Speaker 1: this is where you have to trust the President of 119 00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:14,240 Speaker 1: United States of America. Now let's be very clear. Also, 120 00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:18,440 Speaker 1: the Democrats, I've gone all in to attack Donald Trump. 121 00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:20,920 Speaker 1: I'll give you a great example of this. On MSNBC, 122 00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:25,560 Speaker 1: the San Antonio mayor, on Trump's tariffs, said that America 123 00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:28,440 Speaker 1: will pay the brunt of the trade war that the 124 00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:32,120 Speaker 1: President is doing right now, and you should all be terrified. 125 00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:34,160 Speaker 3: Fifty past the hour. 126 00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:37,120 Speaker 2: Despite a promise to lower prices for struggling Americans, President 127 00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:39,880 Speaker 2: Trump's terrorists, as of right now, are expected to increase 128 00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:44,400 Speaker 2: the cost of everything from cars, tools, clothes, groceries, and 129 00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:47,920 Speaker 2: so many other things. Americans are already feeling the impact, 130 00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:51,720 Speaker 2: especially in cities where the local economies are defined by 131 00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:55,680 Speaker 2: international trade. According to one big city mayor, San Antonio's 132 00:07:55,720 --> 00:08:00,200 Speaker 2: mayor Ron Narrenberg, quote, international trade helped lift thousands of 133 00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:02,480 Speaker 2: San Antonio families into the middle class as our city 134 00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:07,080 Speaker 2: became the economic gateway to Mexico. Mayor Nierrenburg is with 135 00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:09,760 Speaker 2: us this afternoon. It's good to see Maeric. Thank you 136 00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:12,120 Speaker 2: for your time. I know that your city is the 137 00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:15,960 Speaker 2: seventh most populous city in the US. What are your 138 00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:18,080 Speaker 2: biggest concerns going forward? 139 00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:21,520 Speaker 7: Well, my biggest concern going forward, Hose, is that at 140 00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:25,160 Speaker 7: the worst possible time, American families are going to be 141 00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:27,240 Speaker 7: the ones to pay for the brunt of this trade war. 142 00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:31,480 Speaker 7: We know that tariffs are our job killers and their 143 00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:35,680 Speaker 7: price increases for local consumers. And we know that you 144 00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:38,880 Speaker 7: know as a result of inflation that's occurred post pandemic. 145 00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:42,960 Speaker 7: American workers are already are already struggling at the grocery 146 00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:46,480 Speaker 7: aisle and everywhere else. We are fighting to continue the 147 00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:50,120 Speaker 7: economic recovery that it began a few years ago in 148 00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:52,840 Speaker 7: the soft landing that we achieved, and this is going 149 00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:54,120 Speaker 7: to send us back in reverse. 150 00:08:54,679 --> 00:08:56,640 Speaker 1: So if you want to know who's rooting against the 151 00:08:56,679 --> 00:09:00,800 Speaker 1: American economy, just watch TV, MSNBE, CNN. 152 00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:01,839 Speaker 3: They're all over this. 153 00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:06,280 Speaker 1: It's telling you Donald Trump is ruining your life. In reality, 154 00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:09,319 Speaker 1: it is going to take some time before we see 155 00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:13,000 Speaker 1: major changes come. And the President knew this from the 156 00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:16,080 Speaker 1: very beginning. This is also something he's been talking about 157 00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:20,280 Speaker 1: and campaigned on that America was being taken advantage of, 158 00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:24,040 Speaker 1: and that's exactly why he's clearly saying we're gonna stay 159 00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:24,600 Speaker 1: the course. 160 00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:26,319 Speaker 3: We also know now. 161 00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:30,400 Speaker 1: That Vietnam has any emergency delegation in the US and 162 00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:33,480 Speaker 1: is already working with the White House as we speak 163 00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:36,040 Speaker 1: to get a deal done to lower the tariffs on 164 00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:36,920 Speaker 1: both sides. 165 00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:39,560 Speaker 3: So if you think it's all doom and gloom, it's not. 166 00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:42,920 Speaker 1: There are many people that are in other countries right 167 00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:45,960 Speaker 1: now that are already talking with the Trump administration to 168 00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:48,800 Speaker 1: get a better deal, and that better deal was for 169 00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:53,800 Speaker 1: all Americans, our workers, and our manufacturing. All right, So 170 00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:58,040 Speaker 1: let's talk real quick about what's actually happening in America 171 00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:04,480 Speaker 1: and the the purpose of these retaliatory tariffs or reciprocal tariffs, 172 00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:07,199 Speaker 1: however you want to describe it was to put American 173 00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:08,439 Speaker 1: workers first. 174 00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:10,440 Speaker 3: Is that going to happen? 175 00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:14,960 Speaker 1: Ford Motor Company was asked that exact question their CEO 176 00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:18,200 Speaker 1: on Fox Business with Stuart Varney, and I want you 177 00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:21,959 Speaker 1: to hear what the Ford CEO said, after Donald Trump's 178 00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:25,320 Speaker 1: twenty five percent tariffs on auto imports is in effect. 179 00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:30,840 Speaker 1: Listen carefully, Andrew, can you make can full produce a 180 00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:34,640 Speaker 1: car one hundred made in the United States? 181 00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:38,120 Speaker 8: Wellow, Stuart, thanks for having me. I really appreciate it. 182 00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:41,880 Speaker 8: You know, Ford is a number America's number one auto manufacturer, 183 00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:45,199 Speaker 8: and we assemble more US vehicles and we employ more 184 00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:48,760 Speaker 8: US hourly autoworkers than any other OEM. And we want 185 00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:50,720 Speaker 8: to do more, not less, here in the US. 186 00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:51,360 Speaker 6: Uh. 187 00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:53,840 Speaker 8: You know, eighty percent of what we sell in the 188 00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:56,480 Speaker 8: US is assembled right here in the United States. And 189 00:10:56,520 --> 00:10:58,839 Speaker 8: it would be helpful to have certain parts here in 190 00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:00,320 Speaker 8: the US, and the White House gets that's that. 191 00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:03,640 Speaker 4: So, yeah, how long would it take for you to 192 00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:07,200 Speaker 4: be able to make all the pots in the United States? 193 00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:09,800 Speaker 8: Well, like I said, we already assemble eighty percent of 194 00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:12,320 Speaker 8: our vehicles right here in the US, including the UP 195 00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:15,360 Speaker 8: one fifty which is actually rolling down the assembly line 196 00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:18,480 Speaker 8: right behind me here at Dearborn Truck. So relatively speaking, 197 00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:20,800 Speaker 8: we're in a good position. But we're in a complex 198 00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:24,720 Speaker 8: industry relying on a lot of different suppliers, and we 199 00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:26,880 Speaker 8: need to ensure that we have the right supply chain 200 00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:29,480 Speaker 8: ecosystem in place here in the US to do so. 201 00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:32,360 Speaker 8: And we're working with the administration to get clarity on 202 00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:34,280 Speaker 8: parts to grow jobs here in the US for us 203 00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:35,199 Speaker 8: to be able to do that. 204 00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:38,760 Speaker 1: You listen to what the president there CEO of Ford 205 00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:41,439 Speaker 1: is saying, and he's like, we're ready to go. This 206 00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:45,160 Speaker 1: also means that we're hiring, that we're getting more people 207 00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:48,800 Speaker 1: asap in to Ford to be able to do what 208 00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:51,600 Speaker 1: we think we're going to have happen because of these tariffs. 209 00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:55,320 Speaker 3: That is good news again for the American worker. 210 00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:58,679 Speaker 1: Now you look at what Donald trum Trump said, and 211 00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:01,280 Speaker 1: what he said was this is going to be something 212 00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:02,319 Speaker 1: we're going to have to fight. 213 00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:05,719 Speaker 3: You also have to ask yourself this question, is the. 214 00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:08,800 Speaker 1: President doing the right thing, especially in reaction to what 215 00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:15,000 Speaker 1: big retailers are saying like Walmart. Big retailers are saying 216 00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:18,280 Speaker 1: that they are well not happy. They're announcing publicly their 217 00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:22,320 Speaker 1: displeasure with President Trump and is America's first policy every 218 00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:27,520 Speaker 1: civical tariffs on Wednesday when Trump said it was Liberation Day, 219 00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:30,600 Speaker 1: while the big box stores are saying not for their 220 00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:34,480 Speaker 1: bottom line, many would think the Corporate America, hoping to 221 00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:35,840 Speaker 1: better the nation's workers. 222 00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:36,800 Speaker 3: I say that tongue in. 223 00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:40,480 Speaker 1: Cheek would embrace the trade policies that would put America 224 00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:43,800 Speaker 1: on a more even footing with its trading partners. Given 225 00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:47,080 Speaker 1: that Corporate America had embraced his America First agenda back 226 00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:50,680 Speaker 1: in January, well guess what they really don't care about 227 00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:51,520 Speaker 1: American workers. 228 00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:53,280 Speaker 3: They care about their bottom line. 229 00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:58,120 Speaker 1: Walmart CEO met with Trump in January ahead of his inauguration, 230 00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:02,160 Speaker 1: with a Walmart spokeman Foksmen saying quote, we stand ready 231 00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:05,439 Speaker 1: to help move our country forward. Many of America's business 232 00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:10,000 Speaker 1: leaders congratulated Trump on his election last November. Many of 233 00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:13,000 Speaker 1: them attending the inauguration and met with the president before 234 00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:16,520 Speaker 1: its term in office even started. In March, Trump even 235 00:13:16,559 --> 00:13:20,199 Speaker 1: met with these CEOs at a business roundtable and non Parson, 236 00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:24,000 Speaker 1: DC based Economic Advocacy Group comprise the more than two 237 00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:28,120 Speaker 1: hundred CEOs. Despite what seemed like the apparent embrace between 238 00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:31,680 Speaker 1: corporate Americans and Trump, it has become clear that the 239 00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:35,520 Speaker 1: National Retail Federation known as NRF no longer backs his 240 00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:41,439 Speaker 1: America First policies. Upon announcing these reciprocal tariffs, the NRF 241 00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:45,479 Speaker 1: releases statement from its executive vice president of Governmental Relations 242 00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:49,679 Speaker 1: contending that more tariffs lead to higher costs for American families, saying, quote, 243 00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:52,880 Speaker 1: tariffs are a tax paid by the US importer that 244 00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:56,280 Speaker 1: will be passed along to the end consumer. Tariffs will 245 00:13:56,320 --> 00:13:59,320 Speaker 1: not be paid by foreign countries or suppliers. The whole 246 00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:01,400 Speaker 1: point is that you start making in America so you 247 00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:04,120 Speaker 1: don't have to pay the tariffs. That's what clearly Donald 248 00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:07,960 Speaker 1: Trump's trying to do. But David French saying no, that's 249 00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:10,040 Speaker 1: not the case. We just need you to make this 250 00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:12,840 Speaker 1: all go back to how it was before. We want 251 00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:15,280 Speaker 1: cheap goods at a cheap price, and we don't care 252 00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:19,560 Speaker 1: about American workers. Well, despite the frequent claims from anti 253 00:14:19,920 --> 00:14:23,800 Speaker 1: tariff advocates, economists of the Federal Reserve and the National 254 00:14:23,880 --> 00:14:27,200 Speaker 1: Bureau of Economic Research found minimal pass through into the 255 00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:33,480 Speaker 1: broad inflation. Breitbart News also reporting this, saying that right now, 256 00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:35,360 Speaker 1: it looks like the people that are the most mad 257 00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:37,640 Speaker 1: are those that have been getting rich off of foreign 258 00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:41,800 Speaker 1: workers who are actually living terrible lives in their countries. 259 00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:45,880 Speaker 1: They don't care about building back America or building American jobs. 260 00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:48,920 Speaker 1: They just want cheap goods from cheap labor, and they 261 00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:52,440 Speaker 1: don't want it to be from America. Well, Big Retail 262 00:14:52,680 --> 00:14:57,640 Speaker 1: is America first in name only. Apparently after witnessing what 263 00:14:57,840 --> 00:15:01,960 Speaker 1: these CEOs are now saying publicly, companies like Walmart are 264 00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:02,640 Speaker 1: not happy. 265 00:15:03,280 --> 00:15:04,320 Speaker 3: So if the last. 266 00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:06,640 Speaker 1: Twenty four to forty eight hours have taught us anything 267 00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:10,080 Speaker 1: it's that the magabase is growing and corporate America can 268 00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:11,520 Speaker 1: no longer ignore us. 269 00:15:11,640 --> 00:15:12,640 Speaker 3: That's number one. 270 00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:16,320 Speaker 1: But number two these companies, they're digging in against Trump 271 00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:19,920 Speaker 1: because they want to make maximum profits no matter what 272 00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:25,200 Speaker 1: happens to American workers. MAGA voters clearly chose in November 273 00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:27,760 Speaker 1: that they didn't want an administration that would continue to 274 00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:31,880 Speaker 1: abandon them. And there are many Republican operatives, by the way, 275 00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:35,040 Speaker 1: in Washington, d c. That have no problem working now 276 00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:38,000 Speaker 1: to undermine Donald Trump. Now, I go back to what 277 00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:42,760 Speaker 1: jd Vance said quote. So, for forty years, America has 278 00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:45,600 Speaker 1: been the piggy bank of the world. Not only that 279 00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:49,560 Speaker 1: we absorb all of the ridiculous trade practices and economic 280 00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:53,240 Speaker 1: practices of friend and foe alike. For the first time 281 00:15:53,280 --> 00:15:56,240 Speaker 1: in probably forty years, we have an American president who's 282 00:15:56,280 --> 00:16:00,240 Speaker 1: saying no more, that it's not going to work. He's 283 00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:02,560 Speaker 1: not going to allow America to be taken advantage of 284 00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:06,640 Speaker 1: any more. You've already seen a number of American manufacturers 285 00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:09,720 Speaker 1: and a number of foreign manufacturers who are saying they're 286 00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:13,800 Speaker 1: going to build or expand plants in America. That means 287 00:16:13,840 --> 00:16:18,400 Speaker 1: more workers with good middle class jobs. That means more 288 00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:23,480 Speaker 1: self sufficientcy in the United States of America. Again, it 289 00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:26,360 Speaker 1: can't happen unless you have a president who fights back 290 00:16:26,760 --> 00:16:31,120 Speaker 1: against these ridiculous trade policies. Finally, we have a president 291 00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:35,280 Speaker 1: who's doing exactly that now, Van saying this in the 292 00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:38,240 Speaker 1: Rose Guard event the White House, making it clear that 293 00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:40,800 Speaker 1: we're not going to back down and that America he 294 00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:43,360 Speaker 1: believes has more than enough leverage to. 295 00:16:43,520 --> 00:16:44,520 Speaker 3: Change the game. 296 00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:48,720 Speaker 1: Many supporters, by the way of the President, are saying, 297 00:16:48,880 --> 00:16:52,280 Speaker 1: give it its time, it needs Nothing is going to 298 00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:54,880 Speaker 1: be fixed in a number of hours or days. But 299 00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:57,400 Speaker 1: I go back to how many countries are now reaching 300 00:16:57,440 --> 00:17:01,200 Speaker 1: out to the Trump administration saying, we want to sit down, 301 00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:04,800 Speaker 1: we want to have a conversation, we want to get 302 00:17:04,800 --> 00:17:08,800 Speaker 1: a deal done. We already know that Vietnam loaded up 303 00:17:08,840 --> 00:17:10,520 Speaker 1: their plane and went to America. 304 00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:13,600 Speaker 3: They are now sitting in Washington having meetings. 305 00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:16,119 Speaker 1: Right now trying to work out a deal when it 306 00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:19,240 Speaker 1: comes to something that both sides can live with. And 307 00:17:19,320 --> 00:17:23,120 Speaker 1: there's many other countries that are staring at Vietnam and 308 00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:26,840 Speaker 1: watching to see what happens now. This also all comes 309 00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:32,760 Speaker 1: as there's some good news. Job numbers crushed expectations with 310 00:17:32,840 --> 00:17:36,040 Speaker 1: two hundred and twenty eight thousand jobs added in March, 311 00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:40,479 Speaker 1: as Trump's economy defies the critics. This was not the 312 00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:43,320 Speaker 1: news the media or the left wanted to hear, because 313 00:17:43,359 --> 00:17:45,840 Speaker 1: employers in the United States of America added two hundred 314 00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:48,439 Speaker 1: and twenty eight thousand workers to their payroll in March, 315 00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:51,879 Speaker 1: the Department of Labor said on Friday, and the unemployment 316 00:17:51,920 --> 00:17:55,480 Speaker 1: rate inched up to four point two percent. Economists had 317 00:17:55,520 --> 00:17:58,560 Speaker 1: been expecting only one hundred and forty thousand jobs would 318 00:17:58,560 --> 00:18:01,199 Speaker 1: be added in March. The climate the unemployment rate was 319 00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:05,919 Speaker 1: also expected. Now, the private sector's hiring was much stronger 320 00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:10,640 Speaker 1: than anyone expected, including the Trump administration. Economists had forecast 321 00:18:10,680 --> 00:18:12,560 Speaker 1: about one hundred and fifteen thousand jobs. 322 00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:14,760 Speaker 3: Businesses added two hundred nine. 323 00:18:14,600 --> 00:18:19,840 Speaker 1: Thousand jobs, and the workforce participation rate climbed from sixty 324 00:18:19,840 --> 00:18:23,240 Speaker 1: two point four percent to sixty two point five percent. 325 00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:27,080 Speaker 1: The average workweek lengthened, a sign of increased demand for 326 00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:31,600 Speaker 1: labor as well. Average hourly earnings rose zero point three 327 00:18:31,640 --> 00:18:35,360 Speaker 1: percent compared with February and three point eight percent compared 328 00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:38,480 Speaker 1: with one year ago when the Biden regime was in charge. 329 00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:41,960 Speaker 1: So what does this mean. It means the economy is 330 00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:45,960 Speaker 1: actually strong. The strong job numbers is the latest piece 331 00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:50,760 Speaker 1: of economic data suggesting the economy remains on a solid footing, 332 00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:55,040 Speaker 1: just like you heard from the Treasury Secretary earlier, despite 333 00:18:55,320 --> 00:19:01,159 Speaker 1: surveys showing quote gloomy consumer sentiment, rising policy uncertainty, and 334 00:19:01,359 --> 00:19:04,960 Speaker 1: businesses that are weary of future economic conditions. At the 335 00:19:05,080 --> 00:19:07,520 Speaker 1: end of the day, Donald Trump said, give it its time, 336 00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:11,680 Speaker 1: it needs to work, and we're also adding record jobs 337 00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:13,719 Speaker 1: right now during a time when everyone else said it 338 00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:14,679 Speaker 1: was impossible. 339 00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:18,000 Speaker 3: So I'll say this yet again. I think what Donald 340 00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:18,560 Speaker 3: Trump is. 341 00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:23,359 Speaker 1: Doing right now is a very smart game of negotiations 342 00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:26,720 Speaker 1: with many powers around the world that cannot hang on 343 00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:29,639 Speaker 1: as long as America can to win, and that is 344 00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:33,080 Speaker 1: exactly why so many Americans will end up winning at 345 00:19:33,080 --> 00:19:36,720 Speaker 1: the end of the day. Let me also just give 346 00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:40,600 Speaker 1: you a perfect example of what I mean by Donald 347 00:19:40,600 --> 00:19:45,280 Speaker 1: Trump is doing the hard thing, okay, the hard thing 348 00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:49,679 Speaker 1: that others are not willing to do. And let me 349 00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:53,639 Speaker 1: also just give you a perspective for a second. You 350 00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:58,879 Speaker 1: know what Mexico's economic policies are Mexico first. You know 351 00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:02,679 Speaker 1: what Canada's economic policies are, Canada first. 352 00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:04,159 Speaker 3: Do you know what. 353 00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:09,280 Speaker 1: China's economic policies are China first. You know what India's 354 00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:14,240 Speaker 1: economic policy is, India first. So the question is to me, 355 00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:21,920 Speaker 1: why shouldn't America's economic policies be specifically America first? 356 00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:23,800 Speaker 3: Like that? 357 00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:26,879 Speaker 1: That is the question that so many people should be 358 00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:31,640 Speaker 1: asking right now. This should be a very simple America 359 00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:35,879 Speaker 1: first policy. That is what Donald Trump is trying to 360 00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:40,080 Speaker 1: shepherd in here. And by the way, there's a lot 361 00:20:40,119 --> 00:20:42,680 Speaker 1: of people in Congress that used to agree with this, 362 00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:47,640 Speaker 1: but then they decided, for either corruption reasons or lobbyist reasons, 363 00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:50,040 Speaker 1: or they just decide to woos out and put America 364 00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:51,560 Speaker 1: second and everybody else. 365 00:20:51,359 --> 00:20:54,440 Speaker 3: First, that they were going to change their minds. 366 00:20:55,119 --> 00:20:58,479 Speaker 1: I'm going to take you back to nineteen ninety six, 367 00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:02,920 Speaker 1: and I'm going to play for you what Nancy Pelosi 368 00:21:03,080 --> 00:21:07,720 Speaker 1: said back in nineteen ninety six speaking on the issue 369 00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:11,600 Speaker 1: of tariffs and the trade deficit in nineteen ninety six 370 00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:15,960 Speaker 1: with China. Almost all the Democrats out there are hypocrites. 371 00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:19,000 Speaker 1: They're wanting the sky to fall, They're wanting you to 372 00:21:19,040 --> 00:21:22,200 Speaker 1: abandon Trump. They don't ever want to do the hard thing. 373 00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:25,800 Speaker 1: They never want to do the hard thing. So I 374 00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:28,359 Speaker 1: want you to hear and listen and listen to Nancy 375 00:21:28,359 --> 00:21:30,679 Speaker 1: Pelosi in nineteen ninety six on the four of the 376 00:21:30,680 --> 00:21:34,080 Speaker 1: House lose her mind over China, the trade deficit and 377 00:21:34,119 --> 00:21:35,440 Speaker 1: the issue of tariffs. 378 00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:40,560 Speaker 5: How far does China have to go? How much more repression, 379 00:21:41,480 --> 00:21:44,800 Speaker 5: how big a trade deficit and loss of jobs for 380 00:21:44,880 --> 00:21:48,960 Speaker 5: the American worker, and how much more dangerous proliferation has 381 00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:52,840 Speaker 5: to exist before members of this House of Representatives will 382 00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:55,880 Speaker 5: say I will not endorse the status quo. 383 00:21:56,320 --> 00:21:58,520 Speaker 3: By the way, I like this Nancy Pelosi. I want 384 00:21:58,520 --> 00:21:59,239 Speaker 3: to be clear about this. 385 00:21:59,240 --> 00:22:03,120 Speaker 1: This is before she became an insider trading woman who 386 00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:04,679 Speaker 1: just said I'm going to get rich and I'm going 387 00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:08,040 Speaker 1: to sell out America to China into other countries. This 388 00:22:08,080 --> 00:22:10,520 Speaker 1: is when I actually think she thought she was serving 389 00:22:10,600 --> 00:22:14,280 Speaker 1: the people. She's abandoned that for the last what thirty years, 390 00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:19,760 Speaker 1: But in nineteen ninety six, this is pretty good stuff 391 00:22:19,760 --> 00:22:21,840 Speaker 1: from Nancy Pelosi. Keep listening. 392 00:22:22,320 --> 00:22:25,320 Speaker 5: As I mentioned, it's about jobs, proliferation, and human rights. 393 00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:27,480 Speaker 5: And there are those who say we shouldn't link human 394 00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:31,320 Speaker 5: rights in trade and proliferation and trade. I disagree. But 395 00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:33,280 Speaker 5: if we just want to take up this issue on 396 00:22:33,320 --> 00:22:38,200 Speaker 5: the basis of economics alone, indeed, China should not receive 397 00:22:38,240 --> 00:22:42,480 Speaker 5: Most Favored Nation status for several reasons that I'd like 398 00:22:42,520 --> 00:22:44,960 Speaker 5: to go into now. I'd like to call the attention 399 00:22:45,119 --> 00:22:48,000 Speaker 5: of our colleagues to this chart on the status quo 400 00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:51,040 Speaker 5: that the business community is asking each and every one 401 00:22:51,119 --> 00:22:53,560 Speaker 5: of you, to each and every one of us to 402 00:22:53,760 --> 00:22:57,199 Speaker 5: endorse today. Right now, we have a thirty four billion 403 00:22:57,240 --> 00:23:02,680 Speaker 5: dollar trade deficit with China ninety five figure it will 404 00:23:02,720 --> 00:23:06,520 Speaker 5: be over forty billion dollars for nineteen ninety six. Since 405 00:23:06,520 --> 00:23:11,080 Speaker 5: the Tenement Square massacre, this figure has increased one thousand 406 00:23:11,119 --> 00:23:14,200 Speaker 5: percent from three and a half billion then to about 407 00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:17,800 Speaker 5: thirty four billion dollars now. In terms of tariffs, it's 408 00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:21,240 Speaker 5: think it's interesting to note that the average US MFN 409 00:23:21,280 --> 00:23:24,280 Speaker 5: tariff on Chinese goods coming into the United States is 410 00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:29,480 Speaker 5: two percent, whereas the average Chinese MFF tariff on US 411 00:23:29,520 --> 00:23:33,960 Speaker 5: goods going into China is thirty five percent. Is that reciprocal? 412 00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:40,280 Speaker 1: Nancy Pelusi in nineteen ninety six is saying the exact 413 00:23:40,680 --> 00:23:44,000 Speaker 1: same thing that Donald Trump said at the White House yesterday. 414 00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:49,719 Speaker 1: Is that reciprocal average US tariff on Chinese goods two percent, 415 00:23:50,520 --> 00:23:54,399 Speaker 1: average Chinese tariff on US goods thirty five percent. 416 00:23:54,520 --> 00:23:55,200 Speaker 3: Keep listening. 417 00:23:55,280 --> 00:23:58,920 Speaker 1: This is Nancy Pelosi ninety six actually saying the honest 418 00:23:58,960 --> 00:24:02,920 Speaker 1: and right thing before she sold out on exports. 419 00:24:03,240 --> 00:24:07,600 Speaker 5: China only allows certain industries into China of US industries 420 00:24:07,640 --> 00:24:11,399 Speaker 5: into China, and therefore only two percent of US exports 421 00:24:11,440 --> 00:24:15,000 Speaker 5: are allowed into China. On the other hand, the US 422 00:24:15,040 --> 00:24:18,480 Speaker 5: allows China to flood our markets with thirty a third 423 00:24:18,600 --> 00:24:21,679 Speaker 5: of their exports, and that'll probably go over forty percent. 424 00:24:22,280 --> 00:24:25,320 Speaker 5: And it's limitless because we have not placed any restriction 425 00:24:25,920 --> 00:24:29,040 Speaker 5: in terms of jobs. This is the biggest and cruelest 426 00:24:29,160 --> 00:24:33,080 Speaker 5: hoax of all. Not only do we not have market access, 427 00:24:33,359 --> 00:24:36,320 Speaker 5: not only do they have prohibitive tariffs, not only are 428 00:24:36,359 --> 00:24:42,479 Speaker 5: our exports not let in very specifically, but China benefits. 429 00:24:41,960 --> 00:24:44,440 Speaker 3: With at least at least ten. 430 00:24:44,440 --> 00:24:48,479 Speaker 5: Million jobs from US China trade. The President and his 431 00:24:48,600 --> 00:24:54,560 Speaker 5: statement requesting this special waiver said that it China trade 432 00:24:54,600 --> 00:24:58,160 Speaker 5: supports one hundred and seventy thousand jobs in the United 433 00:24:58,200 --> 00:25:03,080 Speaker 5: States one hundred and seventy thousand jobs, whereas our imports 434 00:25:03,119 --> 00:25:07,679 Speaker 5: from China support ten million jobs at least. The fact 435 00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:10,920 Speaker 5: is that that US China trade is a job loser, 436 00:25:11,560 --> 00:25:14,240 Speaker 5: and one of the reasons that it is is because 437 00:25:14,280 --> 00:25:16,480 Speaker 5: in order well first, let me just make another point, 438 00:25:16,520 --> 00:25:19,200 Speaker 5: and that is that our colleagues on the other side 439 00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:21,960 Speaker 5: of this issue will say the trade with China, exports 440 00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:24,679 Speaker 5: to China have increased three times in the last ten years. 441 00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:29,240 Speaker 5: They have, but they failed to mention that exports imports 442 00:25:29,240 --> 00:25:33,639 Speaker 5: from China have increased eleven times, thereby leading to this 443 00:25:33,760 --> 00:25:34,920 Speaker 5: huge trade deficit. 444 00:25:35,880 --> 00:25:39,959 Speaker 1: I go back to back in ninety six, when Nancy 445 00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:44,680 Speaker 1: Pelosi was saying this, she truly was sounding the alarm 446 00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:48,080 Speaker 1: that China was taking advantage of America and it was 447 00:25:48,200 --> 00:25:52,159 Speaker 1: catastrophic to the American worker, and it was catastrophic to 448 00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:57,360 Speaker 1: our industries and to manufacturing, and it was costing American jobs. 449 00:25:57,520 --> 00:26:00,320 Speaker 1: And the trade deficit was insane, and the tear griffs 450 00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:02,639 Speaker 1: were insane that we were dealing with compared to what 451 00:26:02,760 --> 00:26:05,320 Speaker 1: we compared to what we were putting on them. And 452 00:26:05,440 --> 00:26:09,440 Speaker 1: guess what, it's not gotten any better since ninety six. 453 00:26:10,560 --> 00:26:13,560 Speaker 1: So if the problem was this bad in nineteen ninety six, 454 00:26:13,960 --> 00:26:16,600 Speaker 1: then put it into perspective about how bad the problem 455 00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:19,320 Speaker 1: is in twenty twenty five. You want to know why 456 00:26:19,359 --> 00:26:21,960 Speaker 1: Donald Trump is doing this. This is why Donald Trump 457 00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:25,320 Speaker 1: is doing this because it has been this bad for 458 00:26:25,520 --> 00:26:30,520 Speaker 1: thirty plus years, and nobody has had the cojones to 459 00:26:30,600 --> 00:26:34,800 Speaker 1: deal with this issue. For one reason, they didn't want 460 00:26:34,840 --> 00:26:38,080 Speaker 1: to upset the apple cart. They didn't want to lose 461 00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:43,359 Speaker 1: their approval rating. They didn't want to have a moment 462 00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:46,120 Speaker 1: where it things may get tough for a little bit 463 00:26:46,160 --> 00:26:48,680 Speaker 1: and have to go out there and explain it to 464 00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:51,400 Speaker 1: American people. So what did their advisors say, Hey, don't 465 00:26:51,480 --> 00:26:53,200 Speaker 1: touch that, just kick it down the road. You don't 466 00:26:53,240 --> 00:26:54,480 Speaker 1: want to go to war on this stuff. You don't 467 00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:55,800 Speaker 1: want to deal with US tariffs. You don't want to 468 00:26:55,800 --> 00:26:58,720 Speaker 1: deal with China directly. You don't want to. And by 469 00:26:58,720 --> 00:27:02,440 Speaker 1: the way, China, despite US tariffs, this is important. China 470 00:27:02,520 --> 00:27:05,520 Speaker 1: is currently leading the world in automobile production and exports. 471 00:27:07,200 --> 00:27:07,920 Speaker 3: They're the king. 472 00:27:08,720 --> 00:27:10,480 Speaker 1: We allow them to be the king, and they killed 473 00:27:10,520 --> 00:27:13,440 Speaker 1: American jobs in the process. 474 00:27:15,240 --> 00:27:17,240 Speaker 3: They are the. 475 00:27:17,320 --> 00:27:24,800 Speaker 1: King, and everybody knows it. China knows it more than anybody. 476 00:27:25,640 --> 00:27:31,679 Speaker 1: China understands it more than anyone. China understands just how 477 00:27:31,880 --> 00:27:35,760 Speaker 1: easy it is to take advantage of America because they 478 00:27:35,800 --> 00:27:38,399 Speaker 1: knew that we had a bunch of wisses. Why do 479 00:27:38,440 --> 00:27:40,760 Speaker 1: you think the last administration didn't do anything? Well, One, 480 00:27:40,840 --> 00:27:42,560 Speaker 1: they were compromised by China. We know that from the 481 00:27:42,560 --> 00:27:45,200 Speaker 1: Biden crime family. They were on the take, so they 482 00:27:45,200 --> 00:27:48,080 Speaker 1: were able to buy off the last administration. Like, doing 483 00:27:48,119 --> 00:27:48,960 Speaker 1: great things is. 484 00:27:48,920 --> 00:27:52,439 Speaker 3: Hard, you look at where we are right now. Border 485 00:27:52,480 --> 00:27:54,280 Speaker 3: is now closed. That was hard. 486 00:27:54,480 --> 00:27:58,760 Speaker 1: MS thirteen and the TDA gang are being deported that's hard. 487 00:27:58,960 --> 00:28:01,520 Speaker 1: No more men and womens. Still a fight going on. 488 00:28:01,640 --> 00:28:04,439 Speaker 1: Democrats standing up. That's a hard thing. Food price is 489 00:28:04,480 --> 00:28:06,320 Speaker 1: going down. That's a good thing, but it's been a 490 00:28:06,359 --> 00:28:09,240 Speaker 1: hard thing. Gas price is going down. That's a good thing. 491 00:28:09,240 --> 00:28:12,560 Speaker 1: It's also been a hard thing. Housing is becoming more affordable. 492 00:28:12,920 --> 00:28:15,040 Speaker 1: That was a good thing. It's a hard thing to 493 00:28:15,080 --> 00:28:18,800 Speaker 1: deal with. Inflation going down.

By the way, there really were. 509 00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:15,480 Speaker 1: There was a lot of countries that were inspired by China, 510 00:29:15,880 --> 00:29:17,920 Speaker 1: and they're like, if China can get away with this hell, 511 00:29:18,040 --> 00:29:21,200 Speaker 1: then maybe we can get away with us too. Maybe 512 00:29:21,240 --> 00:29:24,520 Speaker 1: we can maybe we can do the same thing. And 513 00:29:24,600 --> 00:29:30,200 Speaker 1: so they learned from this. They learned from watching, They 514 00:29:30,320 --> 00:29:33,240 Speaker 1: learned from sitting there and going America's not. 515 00:29:33,200 --> 00:29:34,960 Speaker 3: Doing anything stuff.

And so was the President saying, now 522 00:29:49,560 --> 00:29:53,120 Speaker 1: I'm not screwing around. I'm standing up for the American worker. 523 00:29:53,720 --> 00:29:57,520 Speaker 1: And this is a thirty five forty year chiropractic adjustment. 524 00:29:57,560 --> 00:30:00,840 Speaker 1: It's gonna be hard, but it's an adjustment that should 525 00:30:00,880 --> 00:30:03,560 Speaker 1: have happened back in nineteen ninety six when Nancy Pelosi 526 00:30:03,680 --> 00:30:06,440 Speaker 1: was talking about it.
