Now, 119 00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:22,800 Speaker 1: these accusations also come at a time where James Comer 120 00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:27,480 Speaker 1: is also investigating another major issue, and that is who 121 00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:30,080 Speaker 1: is running the White House When it clearly wasn't Joe 122 00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:33,200 Speaker 1: Biden who was ordering what to be signed with the 123 00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:37,040 Speaker 1: autopen and to the President United States of America even 124 00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:40,520 Speaker 1: know what the autopen was being used for. Well, James 125 00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:43,240 Speaker 1: Comer had this to say the other night on Fox 126 00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:44,760 Speaker 1: about that investigation. 127 00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:48,000 Speaker 2: Take a listen, let me let me shift gears here. 128 00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:51,440 Speaker 3: You're also spearheading the effort on the autopen. And there 129 00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:56,080 Speaker 3: was another set of another interview that I believe happened today. 130 00:07:56,760 --> 00:07:59,840 Speaker 3: Tell us where we're at with the latest on the autopen. 131 00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:04,160 Speaker 4: Well, we interviewed another person that worked very closely with 132 00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:07,960 Speaker 4: with Joe, Joe Biden, and uh, I'll say this, Joe 133 00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:10,240 Speaker 4: Biden apparently wasn't the only person that had a poor 134 00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:14,280 Speaker 4: memory in the in the Biden administration. I mean this, 135 00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:19,040 Speaker 4: our witness today couldn't recall anything, just like our witness 136 00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:21,840 Speaker 4: earlier from a couple of days ago, Doctor O'Connor, he 137 00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:24,520 Speaker 4: pled the fifth So, uh, you know what, what what 138 00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:28,120 Speaker 4: we've found thus far is nobody that even the ones 139 00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:30,000 Speaker 4: who we thought were in the inner circle of the 140 00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:33,840 Speaker 4: Biden White House ever saw Joe Biden. But according to 141 00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:36,480 Speaker 4: the report, Joe Biden was in the White House. 142 00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:38,839 Speaker 2: So you know, this doesn't make any sense. 143 00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:42,040 Speaker 4: It adds fuel to the fire that there was a 144 00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:44,480 Speaker 4: select few. And when I say a select few, Jason, 145 00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:46,920 Speaker 4: I'm talking about I can kill them on one hand 146 00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:51,080 Speaker 4: that were calling the shots. There's no evidence thus far 147 00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:56,000 Speaker 4: that's emerged that that Joe Biden knew anything about who 148 00:08:56,080 --> 00:09:00,640 Speaker 4: was using the auto pen or the process involved in 149 00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:04,000 Speaker 4: authorizing the use of opin. We're going to continue. We've 150 00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:07,880 Speaker 4: got more names to bring in for depositions. Obviously, we're 151 00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:10,160 Speaker 4: going to get to the Ron claims and maybe I 152 00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:13,480 Speaker 4: or maybe there'll be people in the Biden's family, immediate 153 00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:14,880 Speaker 4: family that'll be implicated in this. 154 00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:16,680 Speaker 2: We're going to bring them all in and we're. 155 00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:18,560 Speaker 4: Gonna get the truth to the American people. And if 156 00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:22,440 Speaker 4: Joe Biden's name was was forged on these executive orders 157 00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:26,560 Speaker 4: and these pardons, then those executive orders and pardons are 158 00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:29,240 Speaker 4: going to face a tough future in a court of law. 159 00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:31,959 Speaker 1: Let's go to the very last thing you just heard 160 00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:34,920 Speaker 1: James Comer saying. He said, if Joe Biden's name was 161 00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:38,240 Speaker 1: forged on these executive orders and these pardons, then those 162 00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:40,960 Speaker 1: executive orders and pardons are going to face a tough 163 00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:44,440 Speaker 1: future in a court of law. Why did he say 164 00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:47,319 Speaker 1: it that way, because I think he believes, and many 165 00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:50,720 Speaker 1: others believe now that the President United Its America had 166 00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:54,679 Speaker 1: no idea what his name was being signed to, including 167 00:09:55,120 --> 00:10:00,600 Speaker 1: many of those clemency and pardons that were signed remaining 168 00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:04,160 Speaker 1: hours of his presidency. We also know there may be 169 00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:08,520 Speaker 1: executive orders or even legislation that was signed by the 170 00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:11,920 Speaker 1: auto pen that the president had no idea it was 171 00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:16,400 Speaker 1: even happening. This is why so many are taking the fifth, 172 00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:20,520 Speaker 1: including the former president of the United States of America's 173 00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:25,280 Speaker 1: own doctor, who wouldn't answer basic questions when asked before Congress. 174 00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:27,920 Speaker 1: So if you look at what's happening right now with 175 00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:31,839 Speaker 1: James Comer, it's pretty clear now he's on the offense 176 00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:37,080 Speaker 1: and demanding to get answers on these major issues that 177 00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:41,280 Speaker 1: Americans are asking real questions about. As for the Democrats, 178 00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:45,840 Speaker 1: they should be terrified because now finally their abusive power, well, 179 00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:48,520 Speaker 1: they're going to have to face the music for exactly 180 00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:52,160 Speaker 1: what they did to Donald Trump and running a country 181 00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:54,640 Speaker 1: with a president that didn't know what was even going on. 182 00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:58,840 Speaker 1: Donald Trump promised that he was going to put America first, 183 00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:00,920 Speaker 1: and he promised that he was going to do it, 184 00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:04,800 Speaker 1: especially when it came to trade deals where America was 185 00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:07,800 Speaker 1: being taken advantage of by countries literally all over the world, 186 00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:09,920 Speaker 1: and he was going to do it by imposing more 187 00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:13,280 Speaker 1: tariffs to make it fair trade. He was tired of 188 00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:20,040 Speaker 1: American jobs disappearing, American manufacturing disappearing, and again America just 189 00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:23,200 Speaker 1: being taken advantage of by countries that had no problem 190 00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:26,680 Speaker 1: importing their goods in the US, but weren't even taking 191 00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:29,719 Speaker 1: our goods and even in places like the UK. 192 00:11:29,880 --> 00:11:31,680 Speaker 2: A strong ally of ours. 193 00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:35,560 Speaker 1: Well, now we're hearing that Donald Trump could impose more 194 00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:40,959 Speaker 1: tariffs on China over Russian oil. But here's the point 195 00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:42,800 Speaker 1: that I want to make before we get to that 196 00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:46,400 Speaker 1: the media was wrong. They claimed it was all doom 197 00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:48,600 Speaker 1: and gloom, that the tariffs weren't going to work, that 198 00:11:48,679 --> 00:11:51,199 Speaker 1: it was going to be bare shelves for the Americans 199 00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:55,040 Speaker 1: as you went to your favorite store to get basic necessities, 200 00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:57,840 Speaker 1: and that it was going to put us into a recession. 201 00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:01,840 Speaker 1: None of that happened. Larry Kudlow at Fox News Channel 202 00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:02,720 Speaker 1: saying this. 203 00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:06,080 Speaker 5: Yeah, and you know, I remember when everyone said the 204 00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:10,280 Speaker 5: market would crash, inflation would skyrocket because of these terroriffs, 205 00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:13,440 Speaker 5: but that's not what's happening. And now you've got billions 206 00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:15,680 Speaker 5: of dollars coming in. Larry, I want to go. I 207 00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:19,000 Speaker 5: want to give it here because yeah. 208 00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:21,800 Speaker 6: That's an important point though, just to you know, we're 209 00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:26,120 Speaker 6: thirty seconds here. All the gloom and doom, tariff inflation, 210 00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:31,640 Speaker 6: tariff for session, tariff catastrophe, none of that has happened. Okay. 211 00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:35,840 Speaker 6: And in fact, as you noted earlier, the tariff revenues 212 00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:39,760 Speaker 6: are pouring in. Okay, he can do as much as 213 00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:46,559 Speaker 6: four hundred billion this year alone in tariff revenues. Imports 214 00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:51,080 Speaker 6: from China, or let's say, Chinese exports to the United States, 215 00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:55,680 Speaker 6: all right, their lowest point in over twenty years. Our 216 00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:59,680 Speaker 6: trade deficit through June is at its lowest point in 217 00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:04,000 Speaker 6: the last two years. Okay. These are all positives. And 218 00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:07,200 Speaker 6: basically what he's saying is he wants a level playing 219 00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:10,600 Speaker 6: field and he wants to protect the American economy. People 220 00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:13,640 Speaker 6: have been taking advantage of the United States and that's 221 00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:17,560 Speaker 6: coming to an end now. Instead of warfare, you know, 222 00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:22,160 Speaker 6: set of retaliation or the so called world tariff war, no, 223 00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:26,439 Speaker 6: it's deal making, deal making everywhere. The deal maker in 224 00:13:26,559 --> 00:13:31,880 Speaker 6: chiefe place, Yes, exactly, and you know a place like Japan, 225 00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:35,920 Speaker 6: which is difficult, or South Korea which is difficult, or 226 00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:39,360 Speaker 6: the European Union which is difficult. So I would say 227 00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:42,320 Speaker 6: he's gotten off to a great start on this policy. 228 00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:45,080 Speaker 1: Not only has he got off to a great start, 229 00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:47,320 Speaker 1: but other countries are starting to come to the table 230 00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:50,960 Speaker 1: quickly to make sure they get their deal done as 231 00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:52,120 Speaker 1: fast as they can. 232 00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:52,800 Speaker 2: Now. 233 00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:55,199 Speaker 1: The President has also talked about what he's going to 234 00:13:55,280 --> 00:13:58,640 Speaker 1: do with pharmaceuticals, making it clear that he's going to 235 00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:02,839 Speaker 1: be putting tariffs on pharmaceuticals. Why because he wants the 236 00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:05,880 Speaker 1: made in our country and not us depending on other 237 00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:10,120 Speaker 1: nations like China from a national security standpoint. Listen to 238 00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:11,880 Speaker 1: President on CNBC on. 239 00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:17,440 Speaker 7: That chips We'll be putting a initially small tariff on pharmaceuticals, 240 00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:20,680 Speaker 7: but in one year one and a half year's maximum, 241 00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:23,960 Speaker 7: it's going to go to one hundred and fifty percent, and. 242 00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:26,040 Speaker 8: Then it's going to go to two hundred and fifty. 243 00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:29,640 Speaker 7: Percent because we want pharmaceuticals. 244 00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:29,640 Speaker 8: Made in our country. 245 00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:32,280 Speaker 7: And that's not the chipsack like Biden did because he 246 00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:34,080 Speaker 7: didn't know what he was doing, where they gave billions 247 00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:36,760 Speaker 7: of dollars to companies that had more money than they. 248 00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:40,120 Speaker 1: Knew what to do with, Which brings me to the 249 00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:43,520 Speaker 1: new point that Donald Trump is making the new frontier 250 00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:47,120 Speaker 1: on tariffs. We're now being told from the White House 251 00:14:47,200 --> 00:14:50,240 Speaker 1: the President Trump is now saying he will announce further 252 00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:54,520 Speaker 1: tariffs on China, similar to the twenty five percent duties 253 00:14:54,560 --> 00:15:01,200 Speaker 1: announced earlier on India over its purchases of Russian depending 254 00:15:01,280 --> 00:15:04,040 Speaker 1: on what happens. He said, it could happen, Trump told 255 00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:08,360 Speaker 1: reporters after saying he expected to announce more secondary sanctions 256 00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:11,760 Speaker 1: aimed at pressuring Russia to end its war in Ukraine, 257 00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:14,560 Speaker 1: he said, quote, it may happen. 258 00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:16,240 Speaker 2: I can't tell you yet. 259 00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:19,480 Speaker 1: We did it with India, We're doing it probably with 260 00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:20,600 Speaker 1: a couple of others. 261 00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:23,400 Speaker 2: One of them could be China. 262 00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:27,480 Speaker 1: Trump on Wednesday imposed an additional twenty five percent tariff 263 00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:31,520 Speaker 1: on Indian goods, on top of a twenty five percent 264 00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:37,800 Speaker 1: tariff announced previously, citing its continued purchases of Russian oil. Now, 265 00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:41,440 Speaker 1: the White House order did not mention China, which is 266 00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:45,640 Speaker 1: another big purchaser of Russian oil. Last week, the Treasury 267 00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:50,000 Speaker 1: Secretary Scott Dessent warned China that it could also face 268 00:15:50,040 --> 00:15:54,480 Speaker 1: new tariffs if it continued buying the Russian oil. So 269 00:15:54,960 --> 00:15:58,200 Speaker 1: China is also responding to this as well, and there 270 00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:03,000 Speaker 1: is escalation between the two countries as China pushes back 271 00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:06,479 Speaker 1: at the US with their own comments against the president. 272 00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:10,160 Speaker 2: Here's what they said. China quote will. 273 00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:13,760 Speaker 1: Always ensure its energy supply in ways that serves our 274 00:16:13,840 --> 00:16:17,480 Speaker 1: national interests, is what the Chinese Foreign Ministry posted on 275 00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:23,080 Speaker 1: acts following two days of trade negotiations in Stockholm. Responding 276 00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:26,760 Speaker 1: to the US threat of one hundred percent tariff coercion 277 00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:31,640 Speaker 1: and pressuring will not achieve anything. China will firmly defend 278 00:16:31,680 --> 00:16:35,480 Speaker 1: its sovereignty, security and development interest, the ministry went on 279 00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:38,560 Speaker 1: to say. Now the response is notable at a time 280 00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:43,640 Speaker 1: when both Beijing and Washington are signaling optimism and goodwill 281 00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:47,800 Speaker 1: between the two countries when it comes to well getting 282 00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:51,800 Speaker 1: a deal done after climbing down from sky high tariffs 283 00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:53,360 Speaker 1: and harsh trade restrictions. 284 00:16:53,640 --> 00:16:55,600 Speaker 2: It also underscores China's. 285 00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:59,120 Speaker 1: Confidence in playing hardball, the country says when dealing with 286 00:16:59,280 --> 00:17:03,200 Speaker 1: President Trump in his administration, especially when trade is linked 287 00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:07,280 Speaker 1: to its energy and foreign policies. The president saying I'm 288 00:17:07,280 --> 00:17:10,760 Speaker 1: not afraid and making it clear that if you're buying 289 00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:13,919 Speaker 1: from Russia, it's going to be a problem for the 290 00:17:14,040 --> 00:17:18,040 Speaker 1: United States of America, which brings us to the bigger picture, 291 00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:21,360 Speaker 1: and the question is what can you expect from new 292 00:17:21,440 --> 00:17:25,760 Speaker 1: tariffs on imported goods? Well, American businesses and consumers will 293 00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:29,360 Speaker 1: soon have a better idea of how President Donald Trump's 294 00:17:29,359 --> 00:17:33,160 Speaker 1: foreign trade agenda might actually affect you directly. What US 295 00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:36,440 Speaker 1: customers can expect from the new tariffs on imported goods. 296 00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:38,800 Speaker 2: Is also something that the Associated. 297 00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:42,479 Speaker 1: Press is saying is quote turning real American businesses and 298 00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:45,760 Speaker 1: the consumers, they say, will have a better idea of 299 00:17:45,800 --> 00:17:48,720 Speaker 1: how President Donald Trump's foreign trade agenda will affect them 300 00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:52,359 Speaker 1: when the imposed higher tariffs on products from dozens of 301 00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:54,159 Speaker 1: countries hit the shelves. 302 00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:56,840 Speaker 2: Now, it's been nearly one hundred years since the. 303 00:17:56,880 --> 00:18:00,800 Speaker 1: Nation had an overall import tax rate as high as 304 00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:05,320 Speaker 1: the one set today, but the individual impact on businesses, costs, 305 00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:09,600 Speaker 1: and consumer prices could vary as much as the tariffs 306 00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:15,400 Speaker 1: applied to goods of nearly seventy US trading partners from 307 00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:19,920 Speaker 1: complicated economies like the European Union to small African nations 308 00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:23,679 Speaker 1: as well experts from a majority of them are getting 309 00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:27,080 Speaker 1: tax at fifteen percent. For a handful of countries in 310 00:18:27,160 --> 00:18:29,600 Speaker 1: Asia the rate is nineteen percent. 311 00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:31,840 Speaker 2: Products from the rest of the world. 312 00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:35,840 Speaker 1: Are subjected to taxes of twenty to fifty percent. Meanwhile, 313 00:18:35,880 --> 00:18:39,240 Speaker 1: there's still a fifty five percent tariff on Chinese made. 314 00:18:39,119 --> 00:18:41,200 Speaker 2: Goods as scheduled to take effect next. 315 00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:44,920 Speaker 1: Week if a US China trade deal has not agreed 316 00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:49,240 Speaker 1: to on or before then. Now, businesses in the US 317 00:18:49,280 --> 00:18:52,520 Speaker 1: and abroad have been dealing in various ways since February 318 00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:56,240 Speaker 1: with the tariffs. But what we found is that many 319 00:18:56,280 --> 00:18:59,280 Speaker 1: Americans are happy with what they're seeing in the stores 320 00:19:00,520 --> 00:19:04,320 Speaker 1: because many companies are actually absorbing the costs for now. 321 00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:08,119 Speaker 1: A great example of that is automakers. They appear to 322 00:19:08,160 --> 00:19:11,720 Speaker 1: be leading the pack and have absorbed the costs at 323 00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:15,520 Speaker 1: this point instead of passing it on to you the consumer. Now, 324 00:19:15,560 --> 00:19:20,320 Speaker 1: recent government data indicated that retail prices for groceries, furniture, 325 00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:24,840 Speaker 1: and appliances have started to creep up minimally in June, 326 00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:28,080 Speaker 1: far less than what the experts claimed when they said 327 00:19:28,119 --> 00:19:31,600 Speaker 1: there was going to be doom and gloom. Because tariffs 328 00:19:31,600 --> 00:19:35,320 Speaker 1: arery tax on imports, economists had expected US customers to 329 00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:37,680 Speaker 1: foot the bill and guess what. 330 00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:39,879 Speaker 2: That is not what has happened at all. 331 00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:44,359 Speaker 1: The projections were all based on analysis of duties implemented 332 00:19:44,359 --> 00:19:47,720 Speaker 1: this year through Wednesday, and they said it was going 333 00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:51,080 Speaker 1: to be terrible. But the actual price increases a bit 334 00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:55,120 Speaker 1: about one point eight percent in the short term, and 335 00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:59,640 Speaker 1: the US government has been collecting billions from the countries 336 00:19:59,680 --> 00:20:02,920 Speaker 1: at the president decided to put tariffs on so at 337 00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:05,200 Speaker 1: the end of the day, as President Trump unveiled the 338 00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:08,120 Speaker 1: sweeping import tax on goods coming into the US from 339 00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:13,160 Speaker 1: sixty six countries, the European Union, Taiwan, the Falkland Islands 340 00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:16,440 Speaker 1: in April, what did he say? He said, the reciprocal 341 00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:19,200 Speaker 1: tariffs were meant to boost domestic manufacturing. 342 00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:20,320 Speaker 2: That has happened. 343 00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:23,600 Speaker 1: It's also meant to restore fairness to global trade. 344 00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:27,400 Speaker 2: That has also happened. And here's the point that matters 345 00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:27,800 Speaker 2: to you. 346 00:20:28,280 --> 00:20:31,560 Speaker 1: The present pause the country specific tariffs a week later, 347 00:20:31,960 --> 00:20:34,720 Speaker 1: but applied to ten percent tax to most imports. 348 00:20:34,760 --> 00:20:35,760 Speaker 2: In early July. 349 00:20:36,400 --> 00:20:39,439 Speaker 1: He began notifying countries that their exports would be subject 350 00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:42,639 Speaker 1: to higher tariffs on August one unless they reached the 351 00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:46,000 Speaker 1: trade deals. A week ago, he pushed the start date 352 00:20:46,359 --> 00:20:51,159 Speaker 1: to Thursday. So here we are, it is Thursday, and 353 00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:54,680 Speaker 1: it's real. In the meantime, trump Is also announced a 354 00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:58,040 Speaker 1: thirty five percent tariff on imports from Canada, but delayed 355 00:20:58,080 --> 00:21:02,840 Speaker 1: action on Mexico while negotiating continue. However, a free trade 356 00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:06,359 Speaker 1: agreement reached with Mexico and Canada during Terump's first term 357 00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:11,159 Speaker 1: shields most of those countries' products from punishing duties. The 358 00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:14,200 Speaker 1: president also ordered a fifty percent tariffs on goods from 359 00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:17,440 Speaker 1: Brazil this week. He also's on executive order to take 360 00:21:17,480 --> 00:21:20,840 Speaker 1: India's tar freight from twenty five to fifty percent, all 361 00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:24,560 Speaker 1: because of, as I mentioned earlier, the purchases of Russian oil. 362 00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:28,040 Speaker 1: So the President's not playing. And what we now know 363 00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:30,639 Speaker 1: is the President's telling you the truth. If you're one 364 00:21:30,680 --> 00:21:33,199 Speaker 1: of these countries around the world, you either come to 365 00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:36,320 Speaker 1: the table and get a real deal done or it 366 00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:39,480 Speaker 1: is going to hurt your country more than America. As 367 00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:43,080 Speaker 1: for the President, he has the backing of the American people. 368 00:21:43,320 --> 00:21:46,600 Speaker 1: New pulling data shows, and that's exactly why the President's 369 00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:49,919 Speaker 1: continuing to keep the course because the tariffs seem to 370 00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:53,199 Speaker 1: be working. I want to get you an update on 371 00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:56,320 Speaker 1: where we are in the economy, what's happening. We've seen 372 00:21:56,359 --> 00:21:58,639 Speaker 1: a lot of movement recently with Wall Street and a 373 00:21:58,680 --> 00:22:01,959 Speaker 1: lot of arguing in fire over interest rates where they 374 00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:05,560 Speaker 1: should be the Fed chairman back and forth. 375 00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:07,040 Speaker 2: And then the tariff issue. 376 00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:09,280 Speaker 1: Joining me now to talk about all of this is 377 00:22:09,359 --> 00:22:12,119 Speaker 1: Kurt Elliott. He's the founder of Kurt Elliott Precious Metals. 378 00:22:12,119 --> 00:22:16,160 Speaker 1: You can find them online at k E p M 379 00:22:16,440 --> 00:22:19,040 Speaker 1: dot com KPM dot com. 380 00:22:19,119 --> 00:22:21,400 Speaker 2: Kurt, always a pleasure to have you on. 381 00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:24,000 Speaker 1: Let's talk about where we are when it comes to 382 00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:26,480 Speaker 1: this economy and what it's been doing in relation to 383 00:22:26,520 --> 00:22:28,840 Speaker 1: gold and silver. We've seen a lot of fighting over 384 00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:31,560 Speaker 1: interest rates. We've seen a lot of fighting over tariffs 385 00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:33,840 Speaker 1: as well. We've seen a lot of movement in the 386 00:22:33,880 --> 00:22:36,800 Speaker 1: market over the last several weeks and that has actually 387 00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:39,359 Speaker 1: push gold prices up since last time I had you 388 00:22:39,400 --> 00:22:42,480 Speaker 1: on seventy plus dollars if I'm not mistaken, and silver's 389 00:22:42,520 --> 00:22:43,280 Speaker 1: gone up as well. 390 00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:49,560 Speaker 8: Yeah. I mean, gold and silver ben respond to turmoil 391 00:22:49,640 --> 00:22:54,280 Speaker 8: and chaos and uncertainty, and we're seeing this amazing growth 392 00:22:54,400 --> 00:22:58,280 Speaker 8: in gold and silver without without the biggest thing that's 393 00:22:58,320 --> 00:23:00,480 Speaker 8: actually going to cause their growth, which are actually be 394 00:23:00,680 --> 00:23:05,200 Speaker 8: lowering interest rates, right, so we're seeing growth before that happens, 395 00:23:05,240 --> 00:23:08,199 Speaker 8: and that is going to happen, you know, when you 396 00:23:08,240 --> 00:23:11,360 Speaker 8: look at the economy and you look at the amazing 397 00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:15,880 Speaker 8: things Trump is doing to actually grow our economy set 398 00:23:15,960 --> 00:23:20,400 Speaker 8: us up for success rather than failure. A big thing 399 00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:25,359 Speaker 8: happened just earlier today when when Stephen Mirin, you know, 400 00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:29,320 Speaker 8: head of the Council for Economic Advisors, was basically Trump's 401 00:23:29,320 --> 00:23:32,439 Speaker 8: going to put him in to the vacant seat that 402 00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:36,600 Speaker 8: Kogler had at the Federal Reserve Board of Governors. Which 403 00:23:36,680 --> 00:23:40,760 Speaker 8: is this battle, right, there's this battle between Jerome Powell 404 00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:43,800 Speaker 8: and President Trump on Trump says, you've got a lower 405 00:23:43,800 --> 00:23:46,200 Speaker 8: interest rate to stimulate this economy, and Powell says, no, 406 00:23:46,560 --> 00:23:50,240 Speaker 8: I'm not, you know, for whatever reason, political differences, who knows. 407 00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:56,760 Speaker 8: But placing somebody in there who's basically going to pro America, 408 00:23:57,280 --> 00:24:01,600 Speaker 8: pro US citizen, lower interests rates to make mortgages cheaper, 409 00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:04,600 Speaker 8: stimulate the economy, grow things is going to be so 410 00:24:04,840 --> 00:24:10,359 Speaker 8: good for the economy, bend so incredibly good because right now, 411 00:24:10,720 --> 00:24:14,520 Speaker 8: as I look at it as an economist, there's two 412 00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:18,080 Speaker 8: things that basically the president can do. Two things that 413 00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:21,280 Speaker 8: the Federal Reserve can do to grow the economy, right 414 00:24:22,320 --> 00:24:27,159 Speaker 8: the President Congress. That's fiscal policy. They can lower taxes 415 00:24:27,680 --> 00:24:30,760 Speaker 8: to grow the economy, which Trump is doing. Or you 416 00:24:30,800 --> 00:24:34,800 Speaker 8: can have productive government spending. I want to say productive 417 00:24:34,840 --> 00:24:37,840 Speaker 8: because there's a lot of government spending that's not so. 418 00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:42,320 Speaker 8: When you have productive government spending increases aggregate demand, lower taxes. 419 00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:45,480 Speaker 8: That grows the economy. What does the Fed do to 420 00:24:45,560 --> 00:24:49,639 Speaker 8: grow the economy. That's monetary policy. They can print money, 421 00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:52,840 Speaker 8: which they are printing money, you know, kind of like 422 00:24:52,880 --> 00:24:54,879 Speaker 8: field of dreams. Build it and they will come. You 423 00:24:54,920 --> 00:24:57,119 Speaker 8: print money, people are going to spend it. But the 424 00:24:57,160 --> 00:24:59,440 Speaker 8: other way to grow the economy is lower interest rates. 425 00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:03,080 Speaker 8: They are not You don't have all four of these 426 00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:06,280 Speaker 8: levers working at the same time, which is why Trump 427 00:25:06,280 --> 00:25:11,119 Speaker 8: has massive political headwinds to deal with. Which what happened 428 00:25:11,119 --> 00:25:13,960 Speaker 8: this morning with the new appointment to the Board of Governors, 429 00:25:14,240 --> 00:25:17,920 Speaker 8: This could be very, very good for the US economy. 430 00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:20,600 Speaker 1: Ben Well, I was gonna ask me, you talk about 431 00:25:20,600 --> 00:25:23,720 Speaker 1: this appointment, what does that mean for the average person listening. 432 00:25:24,640 --> 00:25:27,000 Speaker 8: So for the average person listening, you've got these seven 433 00:25:27,040 --> 00:25:29,080 Speaker 8: people that are on the Board of Governors, and they 434 00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:33,320 Speaker 8: vote for policy at the federal reserve level. So even 435 00:25:33,400 --> 00:25:37,520 Speaker 8: if Trump is fighting against Jerome Powell, right, it's like, well, 436 00:25:37,600 --> 00:25:39,720 Speaker 8: maybe he doesn't have to focus so much on fighting 437 00:25:39,760 --> 00:25:43,000 Speaker 8: with Jerome Powell if he has another person on board 438 00:25:43,320 --> 00:25:46,280 Speaker 8: that could be the deciding vote on saying well, let's 439 00:25:46,320 --> 00:25:50,399 Speaker 8: just lower interest rates. Right, So maybe this is going 440 00:25:50,480 --> 00:25:53,080 Speaker 8: to push them over the edge to actually do something 441 00:25:53,119 --> 00:25:57,080 Speaker 8: that's actually really really good for the American consumer, to 442 00:25:57,280 --> 00:26:01,440 Speaker 8: stimulate the economy, bring jobs back to America. Which, boy, 443 00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:07,160 Speaker 8: the tariffs that we're seeing, Ben this is when after 444 00:26:07,280 --> 00:26:12,200 Speaker 8: win after win, that Trump is just like doing such 445 00:26:12,400 --> 00:26:17,800 Speaker 8: amazing things. I mean, I can't believe that he got 446 00:26:17,840 --> 00:26:22,320 Speaker 8: Europe to say, yeah, fifteen percent tariff on of European 447 00:26:22,359 --> 00:26:26,080 Speaker 8: goods coming in, zero percent on US goods going there, 448 00:26:26,359 --> 00:26:29,200 Speaker 8: and then committing to buying seven hundred and fifty billion 449 00:26:29,240 --> 00:26:32,000 Speaker 8: dollars worth of energy in America. It's like wow. And 450 00:26:32,040 --> 00:26:35,720 Speaker 8: the same thing with Japan fifteen percent tariff on Japanese goods, 451 00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:38,679 Speaker 8: zero percent on Americans going in. And how about the 452 00:26:38,720 --> 00:26:43,840 Speaker 8: fifty percent tariff on India if they continue buying Russian 453 00:26:43,960 --> 00:26:46,679 Speaker 8: energy products. It's like, oh, my words, Trump is not 454 00:26:46,840 --> 00:26:50,200 Speaker 8: messing around when he's using this as a negotiating tool 455 00:26:50,640 --> 00:26:53,960 Speaker 8: to not just bring money back into America, have other 456 00:26:54,040 --> 00:26:57,560 Speaker 8: countries basically put our tax bill, right, That's that's what 457 00:26:57,600 --> 00:27:01,000 Speaker 8: tariffs are all about. But what he's doing is he's 458 00:27:01,119 --> 00:27:06,240 Speaker 8: leveling the playing field that's been so unfair for so long. 459 00:27:06,680 --> 00:27:11,240 Speaker 8: And I've never been so excited about the future of America, 460 00:27:11,359 --> 00:27:15,320 Speaker 8: the economic growth that's coming. And when you think about it, 461 00:27:15,680 --> 00:27:19,160 Speaker 8: how do we invest during times of economic growth? Tangible 462 00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:22,440 Speaker 8: assets go up a lot. Silver. The demand for silver 463 00:27:22,520 --> 00:27:26,040 Speaker 8: is going to go through this ceiling then, because it's 464 00:27:26,080 --> 00:27:29,160 Speaker 8: going to be used for more solar and electric vehicles 465 00:27:29,520 --> 00:27:34,320 Speaker 8: and battery technology, and military industrial complex and nuclear power 466 00:27:34,359 --> 00:27:37,000 Speaker 8: and all of the demand and AI. Right, it's like 467 00:27:37,600 --> 00:27:41,480 Speaker 8: there's a lot of demand, which will be even more 468 00:27:41,920 --> 00:27:43,560 Speaker 8: as the economy grows. 469 00:27:44,280 --> 00:27:46,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, it really is incredible to witness this right now, 470 00:27:46,920 --> 00:27:50,200 Speaker 1: and you look at it, these numbers, they keep hitting 471 00:27:50,200 --> 00:27:52,800 Speaker 1: these highs. Certainly on the gold side, I mean we're 472 00:27:52,800 --> 00:27:57,479 Speaker 1: almost at thirty four hundred ounce. Silver is actually many believe, 473 00:27:57,680 --> 00:27:59,760 Speaker 1: one hell of a deal right now at around thirty 474 00:27:59,800 --> 00:28:03,399 Speaker 1: eight and ounce because of how much of it is 475 00:28:03,440 --> 00:28:05,840 Speaker 1: going to be needed, as you just mentioned, and when 476 00:28:05,840 --> 00:28:08,000 Speaker 1: you look at this. For people that are listening right now, 477 00:28:08,760 --> 00:28:10,960 Speaker 1: is it insane to think, hey, maybe I want to 478 00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:13,120 Speaker 1: go more into silver. It just seems like it might 479 00:28:13,119 --> 00:28:14,200 Speaker 1: be a better value. 480 00:28:15,240 --> 00:28:17,800 Speaker 8: It's it's not insane, it is it actually is a 481 00:28:17,800 --> 00:28:20,960 Speaker 8: better value. That's why as a firm, we're allocated more 482 00:28:20,960 --> 00:28:24,879 Speaker 8: into silver, because with gold you have this flight for 483 00:28:25,080 --> 00:28:28,320 Speaker 8: quality type demand. Right, the worst things get, the more 484 00:28:28,680 --> 00:28:31,760 Speaker 8: unstable they are, the more inflationary pressures you have, the 485 00:28:31,800 --> 00:28:35,000 Speaker 8: more geopolitical conflict, the better gold does. But it's a 486 00:28:35,080 --> 00:28:39,360 Speaker 8: financial metal. Silver has all of those characteristics as well, 487 00:28:39,520 --> 00:28:44,160 Speaker 8: but it also has industrial demand. It's used in electronics 488 00:28:44,160 --> 00:28:46,120 Speaker 8: and all the chips that are used for AI and 489 00:28:46,160 --> 00:28:49,640 Speaker 8: cryptocurrency mining and all this other stuff. Like, you've got 490 00:28:49,640 --> 00:28:53,480 Speaker 8: this whole extra element of demand that you have that 491 00:28:53,560 --> 00:28:57,000 Speaker 8: you don't have with gold. But here's the thing, economics, 492 00:28:57,000 --> 00:28:59,320 Speaker 8: one on one, let's just boil it down to simplicity. 493 00:28:59,640 --> 00:29:04,600 Speaker 8: When you have more demand and less supply, prices go up. Right, 494 00:29:04,680 --> 00:29:09,840 Speaker 8: Which is why we're allocated so heavily into silver, is 495 00:29:09,880 --> 00:29:14,560 Speaker 8: to actually minimize people's risk. Right, You minimize risk by 496 00:29:14,600 --> 00:29:17,480 Speaker 8: going into the thing that's going to grow and outperform 497 00:29:17,520 --> 00:29:20,160 Speaker 8: the market. Now, not God. I don't control things. I 498 00:29:20,200 --> 00:29:23,880 Speaker 8: can't make guarantees right, But all the fundamentals that are 499 00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:27,800 Speaker 8: pushing gold and silver up, I don't see them stopping 500 00:29:27,920 --> 00:29:29,720 Speaker 8: or slowing down anytime real soon. 501 00:29:31,360 --> 00:29:33,440 Speaker 1: Let's talk also about where we're going to go with 502 00:29:33,520 --> 00:29:36,920 Speaker 1: this economy and what can happen there. It seems that 503 00:29:37,360 --> 00:29:40,440 Speaker 1: almost everybody out there is saying the idea that we 504 00:29:40,440 --> 00:29:44,400 Speaker 1: were going into recession is now a dead idea. And 505 00:29:44,480 --> 00:29:46,840 Speaker 1: now that's where you're seeing Wall Street, I think take 506 00:29:46,880 --> 00:29:49,280 Speaker 1: off and people are looking at big opportunities now. 507 00:29:49,800 --> 00:29:52,240 Speaker 2: Is that something that also excites you as well? 508 00:29:53,840 --> 00:29:56,719 Speaker 8: It very much excites me because what we're seeing for 509 00:29:56,760 --> 00:30:01,480 Speaker 8: the first time and literally since like maybe nineteen thirteen, 510 00:30:02,280 --> 00:30:04,760 Speaker 8: you know, because back then he had the irs. The 511 00:30:04,800 --> 00:30:07,880 Speaker 8: Federal Reserve came into a fact that the Federal Reserve 512 00:30:07,960 --> 00:30:12,680 Speaker 8: Act is now with Trump issuing stable coins, the Genius Act, 513 00:30:12,680 --> 00:30:16,280 Speaker 8: the Stable Colin Act. What are people doing they're saying 514 00:30:16,760 --> 00:30:20,440 Speaker 8: by them saying, I like cryptocurrency. Stable coins are a 515 00:30:20,480 --> 00:30:23,120 Speaker 8: way to actually invest in the US dollar outside of 516 00:30:23,120 --> 00:30:26,080 Speaker 8: this paper money that the Federal Reserve is printing, because 517 00:30:26,080 --> 00:30:30,960 Speaker 8: it can be issued by tether or circle or PayPal. 518 00:30:31,120 --> 00:30:31,280 Speaker 3: Right. 519 00:30:31,600 --> 00:30:36,880 Speaker 8: Stable coins are blockchain versions of US dollars creates demand. 520 00:30:37,600 --> 00:30:40,680 Speaker 8: And if Trump gets his way and allows for real 521 00:30:40,760 --> 00:30:43,800 Speaker 8: estate and cryptocurrency to go into four oh one KSE, 522 00:30:44,360 --> 00:30:48,200 Speaker 8: this is going to open up the door to alternative assets, 523 00:30:48,240 --> 00:30:51,200 Speaker 8: to a way of people thinking, Wow, I didn't trust 524 00:30:51,200 --> 00:30:53,760 Speaker 8: banks before, I didn't trust the government, but look what 525 00:30:53,800 --> 00:30:57,680 Speaker 8: Trump is doing. He's giving me options to invest the 526 00:30:57,720 --> 00:31:00,520 Speaker 8: way that I want to. And when you start to 527 00:31:00,560 --> 00:31:05,400 Speaker 8: see people moving away from the assets that they've known 528 00:31:05,440 --> 00:31:09,840 Speaker 8: since nineteen thirteen, paper based money printed by FIAT to 529 00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:14,080 Speaker 8: something that's different like gold and silver or decentralized blockchain 530 00:31:14,080 --> 00:31:19,120 Speaker 8: and cryptocurrency, that's a pendulum shifting moment which I think 531 00:31:19,360 --> 00:31:21,560 Speaker 8: we're going to be at the forefront of a new 532 00:31:21,600 --> 00:31:25,680 Speaker 8: digital economy, a new alternative asset economy that's going to 533 00:31:25,760 --> 00:31:28,320 Speaker 8: be just different than what we've known for the last 534 00:31:28,440 --> 00:31:31,600 Speaker 8: hundred plus years. And I'm excited about that because we're 535 00:31:31,640 --> 00:31:33,040 Speaker 8: going to be at the forefront of it. 536 00:31:33,760 --> 00:31:35,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, it really is incredible. 537 00:31:35,160 --> 00:31:36,959 Speaker 1: If you want to find out more about what all 538 00:31:37,000 --> 00:31:40,600 Speaker 1: they do at Kurt Elliott Precious Metals their company, I use, 539 00:31:40,720 --> 00:31:43,840 Speaker 1: I trust them and they will work with you to 540 00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:47,280 Speaker 1: make sure that you're reaching your goals and your aspirations 541 00:31:47,320 --> 00:31:50,640 Speaker 1: for your future.
