1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,320 Speaker 1: All right, news round up in information Overload hour. Here's 2 00:00:02,360 --> 00:00:04,880 Speaker 1: our toll free number. It's eight hundred and nine four one, Sean, 3 00:00:04,880 --> 00:00:07,600 Speaker 1: if you want to be a part of the program. 4 00:00:08,640 --> 00:00:11,160 Speaker 1: Always a pleasure to have back on the program, Senator 5 00:00:11,240 --> 00:00:14,360 Speaker 1: Ram Paul. He has a different view than the President 6 00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:18,360 Speaker 1: on the issue of tariffs. Senator, great to have you back. 7 00:00:18,360 --> 00:00:19,000 Speaker 1: How are you, sir? 8 00:00:19,800 --> 00:00:21,280 Speaker 2: Very good, Sean, Thanks for having me. 9 00:00:21,520 --> 00:00:25,880 Speaker 1: Now, I know your constitutional argument, and you don't like 10 00:00:26,200 --> 00:00:30,280 Speaker 1: the emergency powers that the president is using, and you 11 00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:34,320 Speaker 1: fields and abuse generally. Though you know you've been pretty 12 00:00:34,320 --> 00:00:36,640 Speaker 1: supportive of the president. I mean, I think it's been 13 00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:40,080 Speaker 1: a pretty productive one hundred days by any objective measure. 14 00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:41,160 Speaker 1: Would you agree with that part? 15 00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:43,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, I give him an a plus for the one 16 00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:45,280 Speaker 2: hundred days. I don't like the tariffs and think it'll 17 00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:47,440 Speaker 2: be bad for the country, but if he's able to 18 00:00:47,479 --> 00:00:50,519 Speaker 2: negotiate lower tariffs, I'll be for a complimentary of that. 19 00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:53,600 Speaker 2: But on the cabinet, I was supported, and I've helped 20 00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:56,760 Speaker 2: get his cabinet members through my committee chair a committee 21 00:00:57,440 --> 00:01:02,400 Speaker 2: been ecstatic about Bobby Kennedy, j benachariot NIH, Marty MCCAREYOT 22 00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:07,440 Speaker 2: FDA cash Battel, Tulsa Gabbard. Many of these are people 23 00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:10,319 Speaker 2: I would have picked, frankly, so I've been ecstatic about that. 24 00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:11,800 Speaker 2: I think he's doing a lot of good things for 25 00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:16,880 Speaker 2: the border, my goodness, without a dollar and without any legislation, 26 00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:21,600 Speaker 2: low and behold, just with his sheer presence, his sheer force, 27 00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:26,080 Speaker 2: the presidence, he's you know, ended the onslaught at the border. 28 00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:28,360 Speaker 2: I mean, it still has to be watched carefully, but 29 00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:31,480 Speaker 2: he's probably reduced the flow of illegal Alians by like 30 00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:34,920 Speaker 2: ninety of the border just by saying he cares about 31 00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:37,839 Speaker 2: it and sending some extra troops down there. 32 00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:41,600 Speaker 1: Let me ask this question before we get to your 33 00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:45,920 Speaker 1: constitutional argument, which I'm always interested in hearing. Do you 34 00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:49,120 Speaker 1: agree with the premise of the President that friend and 35 00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:54,440 Speaker 1: fall alike, that they have ripped off America with unfair 36 00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:58,680 Speaker 1: high towers against us. That would include friendly nations like 37 00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:04,600 Speaker 1: Canada and the European Union. For example, the European Union 38 00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:07,240 Speaker 1: charges is a ten percent tariff on an American car 39 00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:11,200 Speaker 1: being sold in their countries. Then a country like Germany 40 00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:13,320 Speaker 1: they have a twenty percent VAT tax, which is a 41 00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:17,560 Speaker 1: value added tax, a national sales tax, and you know, 42 00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:20,400 Speaker 1: by the time an American car you know, makes it 43 00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:23,480 Speaker 1: on a lot in Germany, it's sticker price is thirty 44 00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:28,000 Speaker 1: percent higher, which has rendered a pretty much cost you know, 45 00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:32,000 Speaker 1: prohibitive for many people in Germany. And while they sell 46 00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:36,000 Speaker 1: about fifty million cars a year annually here, we only 47 00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:39,200 Speaker 1: sell about eight million to nine million over there. And 48 00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:43,760 Speaker 1: I think that is that those are unfair trade practices. 49 00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:48,919 Speaker 1: Do you agree with the President's premise, which is we're 50 00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:52,800 Speaker 1: getting ripped off, We're being abused by even countries that 51 00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:56,520 Speaker 1: depend on us for their national security and defense. And 52 00:02:56,680 --> 00:02:59,240 Speaker 1: is there something in principle that is really wrong about that? 53 00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:02,280 Speaker 2: Definitely on NATO, Yeah, I think we've been ripped off 54 00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:04,520 Speaker 2: for years and years and they should be made to 55 00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:07,160 Speaker 2: pay their fair share. With trade. I think there is 56 00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:11,240 Speaker 2: a fundamental fallacy. So for example, if you say, what 57 00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:14,000 Speaker 2: does the US buy from China? What is China about 58 00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:16,360 Speaker 2: from the US. They actually don't trade with each other. 59 00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:20,160 Speaker 2: Only individuals trade with other individuals. So if people say, well, 60 00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:22,000 Speaker 2: I hate the trade with China and we should buy 61 00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:25,440 Speaker 2: from China, that's millions of Americans who go to Walmart 62 00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:28,720 Speaker 2: are making a decision. So let's say a million Americans 63 00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:30,680 Speaker 2: go and buy a TV at Walmart and it costs 64 00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:33,800 Speaker 2: three hundred dollars less, and it comes from China, so 65 00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:36,400 Speaker 2: you get a three hundred dollars cheaper TV. Every one 66 00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:39,880 Speaker 2: of those million consumers made a trade, but they all 67 00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:41,440 Speaker 2: feel like they got a good deal. They wouldn't have 68 00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:43,840 Speaker 2: given up their money to get the thing. So all 69 00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:46,440 Speaker 2: trade is advantageous to the people making the trade, or 70 00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:48,840 Speaker 2: you won't give up your money. If it's voluntary, you 71 00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:51,800 Speaker 2: buy something and you're always happy with the trade. But 72 00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:54,000 Speaker 2: if you take all million people who bought a TV 73 00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:56,360 Speaker 2: and say three hundred dollars and add it together, and 74 00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:58,600 Speaker 2: you say, well, gosh, all those TVs came from China 75 00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:01,280 Speaker 2: and none came of America, they're ripping. So it's an 76 00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:04,480 Speaker 2: artificial accounting or a way of looking at it. Because 77 00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:07,880 Speaker 2: every individual in the million person trade there was happy. 78 00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:10,200 Speaker 2: How can we bundle them together and say we got 79 00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:13,480 Speaker 2: ripped off? So you could say it's an unfair country 80 00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:15,760 Speaker 2: to country, say well, god, they have hire tariffs, but 81 00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:18,280 Speaker 2: if they have hire tariffs on American goods, they are 82 00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:21,640 Speaker 2: punishing their consumers. So we can then say, well, we'll 83 00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:24,040 Speaker 2: punish our consumers the same as they do. By raising 84 00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:24,960 Speaker 2: our arabs to mean no. 85 00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:30,599 Speaker 1: But they're also punishing American American manufacturers, American farmers, American 86 00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:36,760 Speaker 1: ranchers because they're closing their markets, like for example, Canada. Canada, 87 00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:42,240 Speaker 1: you know, only allows a certain small percentage of dairy 88 00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:44,400 Speaker 1: to be brought into their country, and then they go 89 00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:47,159 Speaker 1: up to a two hundred and fifty percent tariff, and 90 00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:51,520 Speaker 1: they're basically, well, we have open markets for them and 91 00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:57,400 Speaker 1: their manufacturers and their producers and their lumber of people. 92 00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:00,120 Speaker 1: Why would they shut the door in the face of 93 00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:04,440 Speaker 1: our dairy farmers or are other farmers or other American products, 94 00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:06,679 Speaker 1: which they've been doing now for a long period of time. 95 00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:10,080 Speaker 1: So in other words, they're hurting farmers and ranchers and 96 00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:15,039 Speaker 1: manufacturers here. And sure, maybe the person that likes getting 97 00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:18,080 Speaker 1: a cheaper TV, but the person that actually produces things 98 00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:20,760 Speaker 1: that they would otherwise consume, they're they're not given free 99 00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:23,600 Speaker 1: access the way where we have given them free access. 100 00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:26,320 Speaker 2: So when I first heard this about Canada, I was 101 00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:29,000 Speaker 2: somewhat persuaded and somewhat pissed off that they would have 102 00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:31,239 Speaker 2: a two hundred and seventy percent tair up on our dairy. 103 00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:35,000 Speaker 1: But then looks after a per certain percentage has been sold. Yes, 104 00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:35,600 Speaker 1: me and I. 105 00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:37,560 Speaker 2: Looked into it, but you know, it doesn't come into 106 00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:40,840 Speaker 2: play at all. There is no goods, No dairy goes 107 00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:43,120 Speaker 2: to the Canada as the two hundred and seventy percent 108 00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:46,120 Speaker 2: chaire because we never reached the quota. And the interesting 109 00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:51,600 Speaker 2: thing is is when Trump renegotiated the US Mexico Canada agreement, 110 00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:55,279 Speaker 2: he raised the quota, so he was successful in raising 111 00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:57,680 Speaker 2: the quota, and we never get anywhere close to the quota. 112 00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:00,520 Speaker 2: So in some ways it's a red herring. There is 113 00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:03,479 Speaker 2: a two hundred and seventy percent tariff above a certain amount. 114 00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:06,400 Speaker 2: We never get there. We're always well below the number, 115 00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:08,080 Speaker 2: so there really is a terriff of zero. 116 00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:11,279 Speaker 1: Jerry goes no that the tariff is not zero, because 117 00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:14,120 Speaker 1: before you hit that number, the tariff is anywhere between 118 00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:15,480 Speaker 1: five and ten percent. 119 00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:17,400 Speaker 2: Very small and actually quite a bit of it. 120 00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:19,080 Speaker 1: I don't think it's small. I mean because we're not 121 00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:21,960 Speaker 1: putting tariffs on the products that bring it into this country, 122 00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:24,520 Speaker 1: so there is an unfair tariff balance there. 123 00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:27,000 Speaker 2: I guess the thing I would say is is that 124 00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:32,560 Speaker 2: tariffs punish your own consumers. So Canada or any other 125 00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:35,839 Speaker 2: country that wants to punish their consumers can but we shouldn't. 126 00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:40,360 Speaker 1: Right, let's accept that as true. Then don't tariffs high 127 00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:45,200 Speaker 1: tariffs also punish I mean maybe we maybe consumers benefit. 128 00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:48,000 Speaker 1: I'll concede the point to you. What's the unfair if 129 00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:50,360 Speaker 1: the president says you can have we can have free 130 00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:53,400 Speaker 1: and fair trade across the board so we have a 131 00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:56,400 Speaker 1: level playing field. Or if you're going to tiff us, 132 00:06:56,440 --> 00:06:59,599 Speaker 1: we'll put reciprocal tariffs on you. Tell me why that's unfair. 133 00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:02,800 Speaker 2: We're able to negotiate tariff lower. I'd be off with that. 134 00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:05,600 Speaker 2: And to the extent that Donald Trump will be able 135 00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:09,279 Speaker 2: to in the first ninety days negotiate lower tariffs, I 136 00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:12,400 Speaker 2: think that would be great. If we just simply reciprocate 137 00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:15,840 Speaker 2: and add to it, There'll be a cost and somebody 138 00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:18,320 Speaker 2: has to pay that cost, and that'll be American consumers. 139 00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:20,720 Speaker 2: So I don't I'm just an old fashioned conservatives. I 140 00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:23,160 Speaker 2: don't like taxes, tariffs or taxes. Why would I like 141 00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:25,600 Speaker 2: taxes any better? On goods that I would like an 142 00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:26,400 Speaker 2: income taxer? 143 00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:28,600 Speaker 1: But do you believe in I'm with you, I want 144 00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:30,520 Speaker 1: low taxes too, But do you believe in free and 145 00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:32,960 Speaker 1: fair trade. Also because I'm a free and fair trader. 146 00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:37,520 Speaker 2: Yeah. For I think trade itself is an extension of capitalism, 147 00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:40,480 Speaker 2: and so capitalism creates great wealth, and so the more 148 00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:42,600 Speaker 2: we trade, the more wealth we have. And that's what 149 00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:46,040 Speaker 2: we found over seventy years, really is that people have 150 00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:48,040 Speaker 2: moved from the lower class in middle class in our 151 00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:51,040 Speaker 2: country to the upper class. If you look at prosperity, 152 00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:55,200 Speaker 2: if you look at GDP per capita, it's going up astronomically. 153 00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:57,320 Speaker 2: If you look at how many hours it takes to 154 00:07:57,360 --> 00:08:00,640 Speaker 2: buy something like a TV, it takes ten percent of 155 00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:04,080 Speaker 2: the hours that used to take rice food, It takes 156 00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:08,200 Speaker 2: ten percent of the time clothing. We've had extraordinary wealth 157 00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:10,680 Speaker 2: because we now have a free time from all that 158 00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:14,040 Speaker 2: money we saved through international trade to buy other stuff 159 00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:17,320 Speaker 2: or to have more leisure time. So really the story 160 00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:19,760 Speaker 2: of trade over the last seventy years has been one 161 00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:22,160 Speaker 2: of extraordinary prosperity for our country. 162 00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:25,160 Speaker 1: I do think, and you seem to, you know, not 163 00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:28,360 Speaker 1: concede this point, that would be that we've been ripped 164 00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:32,280 Speaker 1: off and treated unfairly, and especially by countries. It's not 165 00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:35,599 Speaker 1: just NATO, it's all of Europe. Pretty much depends on 166 00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:39,040 Speaker 1: the United States for the national security, and a lot 167 00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:42,199 Speaker 1: of these countries have not paid their fair share to NATO. 168 00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:46,400 Speaker 1: That's one aspect of it. But the idea that they're 169 00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:52,719 Speaker 1: going to charge tariffs to American manufacturers and American companies 170 00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:56,680 Speaker 1: and farmers and ranchers, I just think fundamentally is unfair. 171 00:08:56,760 --> 00:09:00,120 Speaker 1: And I don't think they're being honest brokers and and 172 00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:03,080 Speaker 1: good trading partners and good allies when they do that 173 00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:07,040 Speaker 1: to us, which, as you rightly do point out, is 174 00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:11,240 Speaker 1: beneficial to everybody, but it's more beneficial to them right now. 175 00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:14,280 Speaker 1: And the president's challenging that status quo. And I think 176 00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:16,360 Speaker 1: it's going to result in better deals. I can't say 177 00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:18,640 Speaker 1: for certain, and I hope it's going to result in 178 00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:19,280 Speaker 1: better deals. 179 00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:22,439 Speaker 2: They're not wrong that there's the appearance and the reality 180 00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:24,760 Speaker 2: of it being unfair at one country is high tariffs 181 00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:27,320 Speaker 2: and one country is low tariffs. But someone has to 182 00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:30,320 Speaker 2: pay if you want to have If you're going to 183 00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:33,400 Speaker 2: force like somebody has a twenty percent tariff on you 184 00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:34,719 Speaker 2: and you as a zero you said I want to 185 00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:37,360 Speaker 2: do twenty percent, the American consumer will have to absorb 186 00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:39,680 Speaker 2: that twenty percent in order to get a better sense 187 00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:43,120 Speaker 2: of fairness, but there's an economic cost to it. And 188 00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:44,480 Speaker 2: so what I'm going to say. 189 00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:47,920 Speaker 1: Is that is it wrong then to challenge the system 190 00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:51,439 Speaker 1: and at least put the pressure on to to at 191 00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:54,920 Speaker 1: least at least try to get the system more fair 192 00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:56,760 Speaker 1: and more free. 193 00:09:57,120 --> 00:10:00,439 Speaker 2: I'm all for the negotiations I worry about out when 194 00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:03,720 Speaker 2: you put one hundred and forty six percent tariff on 195 00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:06,920 Speaker 2: things from Vietnam and the marketplace looks at that and 196 00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:09,160 Speaker 2: people get scared out of the wits and sell six 197 00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:12,080 Speaker 2: point six trillion dollars worth of stock in two days. 198 00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:15,320 Speaker 2: This isn't just me complaining. This is the marketplace, which 199 00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:21,120 Speaker 2: is millions of self interested, self centered but also people 200 00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:23,920 Speaker 2: who have a great deal of knowledge are all trading, 201 00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:26,839 Speaker 2: and that simultaneous knowledge that the market that place tells 202 00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:29,880 Speaker 2: is they were worried about all of that. So there 203 00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:32,720 Speaker 2: is a way to try to negotiate trade deals and 204 00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:36,000 Speaker 2: lower trade and to enhance trade, but yet to be careful. 205 00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:38,680 Speaker 2: But I'd take two items. I'd take steel and choose, 206 00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:42,320 Speaker 2: and i would say, we've tried to protect steel on 207 00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:45,480 Speaker 2: and off for seventy years, but are steal was inefficient? 208 00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:50,400 Speaker 2: Organized labor unions demanded extraordinary wages, and we just got 209 00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:53,480 Speaker 2: out competed with cars. When you look at cars, the 210 00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:56,040 Speaker 2: Japanese are just so much better. They're still better. They 211 00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:58,480 Speaker 2: come to our country and manufacture here, and they still 212 00:10:58,520 --> 00:11:01,040 Speaker 2: make it better and cheap for the American cars do 213 00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:03,000 Speaker 2: and they do it here. I don't think there's any 214 00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:06,040 Speaker 2: amount of tariff that's bringing the steel industry back, and 215 00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:07,680 Speaker 2: I don't think there's any amount of tariff that brings 216 00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:10,640 Speaker 2: shoes back. But we replaced some of the shoe jobs, 217 00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:12,280 Speaker 2: like we make BMW and Green. 218 00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:16,280 Speaker 1: Well actually didn't. The President kind of got these companies Nissan, Honda, 219 00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:21,960 Speaker 1: for example, Toyota. My understanding is BMW, Mercedes are going 220 00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:26,040 Speaker 1: to build their cars with more American parts here as 221 00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:29,199 Speaker 1: the means of bypassing the tariffs. And I like it 222 00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:32,840 Speaker 1: because that results in high paying career jobs for Americans. 223 00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:38,280 Speaker 1: So I think the market is adjusting to the President's 224 00:11:38,360 --> 00:11:39,280 Speaker 1: challenge in that sense. 225 00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:42,760 Speaker 2: No, so we make three in Kentucky. We make the Corvette, 226 00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:45,760 Speaker 2: which is American aid, we make the Toyota Camery which. 227 00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:49,880 Speaker 1: Is American Corvette Z six is awesome, and we all make. 228 00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:53,040 Speaker 2: The four truck. All of these manufacturers come to me 229 00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:56,280 Speaker 2: and they say that the tariffs that have been placed 230 00:11:56,320 --> 00:12:00,160 Speaker 2: on the twenty five percent terraff between Mexico and Canada, 231 00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:04,320 Speaker 2: he adjusted to a low tariff atmosphere and they had 232 00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:06,439 Speaker 2: a lot of parts going back and forth. They say, 233 00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:10,480 Speaker 2: simply the compliance costs. Now banks can complain about compliance 234 00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:13,560 Speaker 2: costs of regulations. The compliance costs are figuring out a 235 00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:16,840 Speaker 2: tariff on every volt where it comes from. We have 236 00:12:16,920 --> 00:12:20,160 Speaker 2: seamless supply chain going back and forth between Canada, the 237 00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:23,520 Speaker 2: US and Mexico is extraordinary. But they're talking about five 238 00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:26,760 Speaker 2: to ten thousand dollars a car, so just not good 239 00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:28,720 Speaker 2: for America to pay more. At five to ten thousand 240 00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:30,800 Speaker 2: dollars more. In the end, you could say, well it's fair, 241 00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:32,760 Speaker 2: but Americans are going to have to pay five to 242 00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:35,079 Speaker 2: ten thousand dollars more per car, and I think a 243 00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:37,360 Speaker 2: lot of Americans will say, well, I'm going to put 244 00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:39,080 Speaker 2: off buying a car, and then we may end up 245 00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:41,839 Speaker 2: having a recession if everybody quits buying stuff because the 246 00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:43,040 Speaker 2: tariff tax is so high. 247 00:12:43,880 --> 00:12:48,760 Speaker 1: My best bet, and I can't put a guarantee on it, 248 00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:52,280 Speaker 1: is that all these countries that have expressed interest in 249 00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:55,839 Speaker 1: making deals with President Trump. I believe that that is real. 250 00:12:56,320 --> 00:12:58,280 Speaker 1: I think China will be the most difficult to make 251 00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:01,439 Speaker 1: a deal with, but in the end, they need access 252 00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:04,280 Speaker 1: to our markets, and we probably need their rare earth 253 00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:06,479 Speaker 1: minerals way more than we'd want to acknowledge. 254 00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:08,719 Speaker 2: That's more trade if we get that on for it. 255 00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:11,880 Speaker 2: But like let's say, for example, antibiotics, I don't want 256 00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:14,680 Speaker 2: four precious antibotics to only be made in China. 257 00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:17,640 Speaker 1: So what I would no, way, that's a security issue. 258 00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:20,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, well, you know what I would do rather than 259 00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:23,040 Speaker 2: the teriff issue where we might have no antibiotics or 260 00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:26,680 Speaker 2: the antibotic prices my triple, I would offer zero percent 261 00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:30,000 Speaker 2: corporate tax on somebody who'll make those antibiotics in our 262 00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:33,040 Speaker 2: country for ten years. I'd say no tax I wouldn't 263 00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:37,240 Speaker 2: say lower taxes. I would say no taxes will remove obstacles, 264 00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:39,520 Speaker 2: will expedite the approve of it. But if you want 265 00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:42,280 Speaker 2: to make a maxacillin, which is dedrivative of penicillin in 266 00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:45,160 Speaker 2: our country and it's only anything only made in China, 267 00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:49,440 Speaker 2: you know, in fact, if that's legislation that we're considering introducing, 268 00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:53,040 Speaker 2: would be legislation to zero out taxes on anything that's 269 00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:56,480 Speaker 2: solely done in China, then we're not ruining the marketplace 270 00:13:56,559 --> 00:13:59,120 Speaker 2: before fixing it. It takes a while, might take a 271 00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:02,520 Speaker 2: year or two for a company to develop a steel company, 272 00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:05,120 Speaker 2: might cost one hundred billion for a blast furnace. I 273 00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:07,720 Speaker 2: just don't think that's happening. But I'm not against giving 274 00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:09,800 Speaker 2: tax inventives to US steel companies. 275 00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:12,440 Speaker 1: Look, this is going to play out. I agree with you, though. 276 00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:16,040 Speaker 1: I think the quicker these issues are resolved and hopefully 277 00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:19,600 Speaker 1: better and freer and fairer trade deals would benefit not 278 00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:24,240 Speaker 1: only consumers, butt manufacturers and farmers and ranchers that have 279 00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:26,600 Speaker 1: been shut out of some of these markets. I think 280 00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:28,920 Speaker 1: is the benefit for all Americans in the end. But 281 00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:32,560 Speaker 1: it's complicated. The sooner it's resolved, I would agree with you, 282 00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:34,080 Speaker 1: the better it's going to be for everybody. 283 00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:37,120 Speaker 2: If we could have within the ninety days a reciprocal 284 00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:40,480 Speaker 2: lowering affaires between countries, and now that you'll see a 285 00:14:40,520 --> 00:14:43,040 Speaker 2: boom and an increase in the market like you haven't 286 00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:46,120 Speaker 2: seen big time. Yeah, but we needed Right now, we're 287 00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:50,040 Speaker 2: increasing government aid for farmers because the farmers are going 288 00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:51,680 Speaker 2: to be excluded from China's market. 289 00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:54,240 Speaker 1: China will also have to give in over time. We're 290 00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:56,240 Speaker 1: just out of time, though, a Senator Rampaul, we always 291 00:14:56,240 --> 00:15:00,840 Speaker 1: appreciate you, thanks so much for being with us Democrats, 292 00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:06,720 Speaker 1: I mean the party of angry, petulant bingo cards, slogans, singing, 293 00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:12,359 Speaker 1: and now the party led by the squad aoc Chasmine 294 00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:16,920 Speaker 1: Crockett and Grandpa Bernie. You know they're just out of 295 00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:21,080 Speaker 1: it and just had a complete meltdown during about Donald 296 00:15:21,080 --> 00:15:24,160 Speaker 1: Trump's first hundred days. Let's play it. Let me tell 297 00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:28,000 Speaker 1: you we have a thug and charge of the United States, 298 00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:30,880 Speaker 1: and if we don't wake up, we may not have 299 00:15:31,040 --> 00:15:32,160 Speaker 1: a United States. 300 00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:35,520 Speaker 3: I don't swear in colicary love, but we have to 301 00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:39,920 Speaker 3: Trump trouble Donald Trump. 302 00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:44,840 Speaker 4: And and what Grant said is there are but two 303 00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:49,880 Speaker 4: parties in America right now, patriots and traders. 304 00:15:49,880 --> 00:15:51,160 Speaker 1: When is it going to be enough? 305 00:15:51,640 --> 00:15:53,440 Speaker 5: My voice is inadequate, my. 306 00:15:53,480 --> 00:15:56,600 Speaker 1: Efforts today, are you inadequate to. 307 00:15:56,600 --> 00:16:04,560 Speaker 5: Stop what they're trying to do?

I paid 427 00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:42,440 Speaker 1: for an inspection, and I paid for you know, maybe 428 00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:42,959 Speaker 1: a lawyer. 429 00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:45,400 Speaker 6: Well, I think that's very nice of you, and I 430 00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:46,480 Speaker 6: hope that it was her family. 431 00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:47,880 Speaker 1: You would do the same thing. 432 00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:51,200 Speaker 4: Or I would absolutely When I buy my vacation home 433 00:21:51,320 --> 00:21:53,359 Speaker 4: and somebody wants my other home and I put this 434 00:21:53,440 --> 00:21:56,240 Speaker 4: home shore, I hope that someday that is a problem 435 00:21:56,320 --> 00:21:56,480 Speaker 4: I have. 436 00:21:56,680 --> 00:21:58,639 Speaker 1: Now, if at the home had already been transferred to 437 00:21:58,680 --> 00:22:00,840 Speaker 1: my name, I probably say you should have thought of 438 00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:03,040 Speaker 1: that before you sold it. At that point, you know, 439 00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:06,040 Speaker 1: you just go through too much of a rigmarole, just 440 00:22:06,080 --> 00:22:08,760 Speaker 1: too then it becomes too hard. I mean, you know, 441 00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:09,679 Speaker 1: come back a year. 442 00:22:09,600 --> 00:22:11,480 Speaker 6: Later at the property from you and they could pay 443 00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:12,080 Speaker 6: the mortgage. 444 00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:13,080 Speaker 1: You could do that too. 445 00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:15,720 Speaker 4: There's all listen, there's always a at the end of 446 00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:17,680 Speaker 4: the day.

Uh 450 00:22:24,920 --> 00:22:28,400 Speaker 1: let's say Hida Blanca Maryland, Sean Hannity Show. 451 00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:31,400 Speaker 5: Hi, afternoon. Well, I just wanted to share with you 452 00:22:31,960 --> 00:22:37,960 Speaker 5: that I'm a proud American naturalized citizen from Alfavador. And 453 00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:40,960 Speaker 5: uh I am from Maryland. I am ma'am. 454 00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:42,960 Speaker 1: So you're a true Marylander. 455 00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:47,120 Speaker 5: Well, yes, originally from Melfavador, but yes I am a Marylander. 456 00:22:47,320 --> 00:22:51,360 Speaker 5: And uh in where the dents have turned Baltimore, Maryland 457 00:22:51,359 --> 00:22:54,640 Speaker 5: into bullet war murder land. Uh, that is what they 458 00:22:54,640 --> 00:23:00,480 Speaker 5: have done here. The policies have cost lives, which that 459 00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:07,080 Speaker 5: cannot be replaced. The economic just the there is no 460 00:23:07,119 --> 00:23:12,280 Speaker 5: safety net. The economic turmoil that we're under is unbearable. 461 00:23:14,119 --> 00:23:17,480 Speaker 5: And I wanted to share as a Salvadorian and now 462 00:23:17,560 --> 00:23:22,879 Speaker 5: American that oftentimes I've seen been here twenty excuse me, 463 00:23:22,960 --> 00:23:27,800 Speaker 5: forty two years next month, and I have seen immigrants 464 00:23:27,800 --> 00:23:33,360 Speaker 5: fight harder than those who are born here. That's very disappointing. 465 00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:37,119 Speaker 5: It's very disappointing. 466 00:23:37,200 --> 00:23:42,320 Speaker 1: Oh, I totally agree with you. I have seen immigrants 467 00:23:42,359 --> 00:23:47,080 Speaker 1: that appreciate freedom, especially if they come from countries where 468 00:23:47,080 --> 00:23:52,080 Speaker 1: they didn't have freedom and opportunity, you know, really appreciate 469 00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:55,280 Speaker 1: this country more than Americans. We kind of take things 470 00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:59,080 Speaker 1: as natural human nature to take things for granted. And 471 00:23:59,280 --> 00:24:02,600 Speaker 1: I remember one night I was working in an office 472 00:24:03,400 --> 00:24:05,359 Speaker 1: that this is when I was a painting contractor, and 473 00:24:05,359 --> 00:24:08,320 Speaker 1: it was overnight. I had to paint, and you know, 474 00:24:08,440 --> 00:24:12,600 Speaker 1: incomes this guy and he was a Russian immigrant and 475 00:24:12,640 --> 00:24:16,080 Speaker 1: the guy you know and ended up being so successful, 476 00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:18,399 Speaker 1: and he was there to clean the offices in the 477 00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:20,560 Speaker 1: middle of the night with his young son. I couldn't 478 00:24:20,840 --> 00:24:22,359 Speaker 1: sat talk to the guy for like an hour and 479 00:24:22,400 --> 00:24:23,720 Speaker 1: a half. Learned a lot from him. 480 00:24:23,760 --> 00:24:27,000 Speaker 5: Yes, yes, because one thing. And I can't say for all, 481 00:24:27,119 --> 00:24:30,760 Speaker 5: because I can't generalize all individuals. But one thing I 482 00:24:30,800 --> 00:24:34,280 Speaker 5: can say is that the circumstances that brought me here. 483 00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:37,040 Speaker 5: I was abused as a child in every way that 484 00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:40,879 Speaker 5: abuse could occur to someone, and I was adopted, and 485 00:24:40,920 --> 00:24:44,600 Speaker 5: I was adopted at age ten. So assimilating to a 486 00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:47,080 Speaker 5: new country, a new culture, a new family, a new home, 487 00:24:47,160 --> 00:24:52,200 Speaker 5: a new way of life, a new language, it really 488 00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:56,159 Speaker 5: helps me to understand the cost of what it means 489 00:24:56,200 --> 00:25:01,400 Speaker 5: to retain and preserve. I think that oftentime, many many 490 00:25:01,440 --> 00:25:06,080 Speaker 5: people that are that were born here, they they kind 491 00:25:06,119 --> 00:25:09,800 Speaker 5: of release. We try to retain. As conservatives, we retain 492 00:25:10,359 --> 00:25:13,600 Speaker 5: and we preserve that they try to release, and then 493 00:25:13,640 --> 00:25:17,680 Speaker 5: they pander, they tander to hold power, and that power 494 00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:23,280 Speaker 5: is not really power because they are holding so many 495 00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:28,480 Speaker 5: people hostage. The political party, especially here in Baltimore City, 496 00:25:28,600 --> 00:25:30,960 Speaker 5: is it's as corrupt as the late, the day is long. 497 00:25:31,119 --> 00:25:34,440 Speaker 5: It's very corrupt between the money that go to one 498 00:25:34,520 --> 00:25:38,080 Speaker 5: nonprofit to this nonprofit. And this one has a boyfriend 499 00:25:38,160 --> 00:25:40,400 Speaker 5: and that's why he got the grant. And then now 500 00:25:40,560 --> 00:25:42,879 Speaker 5: you know they're not together. And now this and that, 501 00:25:43,359 --> 00:25:46,120 Speaker 5: I mean this safe streets scam that we have here 502 00:25:46,240 --> 00:25:49,119 Speaker 5: you know where where where you can't know who they are, 503 00:25:49,280 --> 00:25:51,520 Speaker 5: but we know that they have a record and they're 504 00:25:51,600 --> 00:25:55,760 Speaker 5: just basically just walking around the streets being tour guides. 505 00:25:55,920 --> 00:25:59,280 Speaker 5: This is what safe streets is. Nobody can call it 506 00:25:59,320 --> 00:26:03,080 Speaker 5: out because then you're called every name. The school system 507 00:26:03,080 --> 00:26:06,359 Speaker 5: gets one point seven billion dollars. Yet we have eighty 508 00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:10,840 Speaker 5: one thousand people just in Baltimore without a high school degree, 509 00:26:11,040 --> 00:26:11,680 Speaker 5: and so as. 510 00:26:11,600 --> 00:26:14,320 Speaker 1: An immigrant, are there at thirteen or fifteen or some 511 00:26:15,200 --> 00:26:19,800 Speaker 1: astronomical number of Maryland high schools where kids not one 512 00:26:19,880 --> 00:26:25,000 Speaker 1: kid could pass a proficiency test in either reading, English 513 00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:28,920 Speaker 1: or math. Not one kid in high schools thirteen high 514 00:26:28,920 --> 00:26:30,800 Speaker 1: schools thirteen, yes. 515 00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:33,520 Speaker 5: In the thirteen out of the thirty seven schools. That 516 00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:37,720 Speaker 5: is correct. That is because the Democrats continue to lie 517 00:26:38,280 --> 00:26:42,920 Speaker 5: that you can get ahead by doing nothing, being socially promoted, 518 00:26:43,320 --> 00:26:46,080 Speaker 5: and then there's no accountability the rec centers are ready 519 00:26:46,080 --> 00:26:49,600 Speaker 5: to be opened onto eleven PM. And you know what 520 00:26:49,640 --> 00:26:53,119 Speaker 5: that means. Just the kids are going to just be 521 00:26:53,240 --> 00:26:56,280 Speaker 5: at a rec center while the parents are aware they 522 00:26:56,280 --> 00:27:00,960 Speaker 5: should be at home, they should be trained. But the perpetual, 523 00:27:02,680 --> 00:27:07,760 Speaker 5: the preschool to the preschool to prison pipeline is real here. 524 00:27:07,840 --> 00:27:09,560 Speaker 5: So I just wanted to let you know that as 525 00:27:09,560 --> 00:27:13,639 Speaker 5: an immigrant, I listened to you.

We can't do that. But Blanca, you show 543 00:28:15,720 --> 00:28:19,400 Speaker 1: how an immigration system should work, and it was designed 544 00:28:19,440 --> 00:28:22,080 Speaker 1: to work, and you did it legally, and I'm glad 545 00:28:22,240 --> 00:28:24,560 Speaker 1: your life turned out the way it didn't.
