WEBVTT - Senator Paul on Tariffs - May 1st, Hour 3

0:00:00.000 --> 0:00:02.320
<v Speaker 1>All right, news round up in information Overload hour. Here's

0:00:02.360 --> 0:00:04.880
<v Speaker 1>our toll free number. It's eight hundred and nine four one, Sean,

0:00:04.880 --> 0:00:07.600
<v Speaker 1>if you want to be a part of the program.

0:00:08.640 --> 0:00:11.160
<v Speaker 1>Always a pleasure to have back on the program, Senator

0:00:11.240 --> 0:00:14.360
<v Speaker 1>Ram Paul. He has a different view than the President

0:00:14.400 --> 0:00:18.360
<v Speaker 1>on the issue of tariffs. Senator, great to have you back.

0:00:18.360 --> 0:00:19.000
<v Speaker 1>How are you, sir?

0:00:19.800 --> 0:00:21.280
<v Speaker 2>Very good, Sean, Thanks for having me.

0:00:21.520 --> 0:00:25.880
<v Speaker 1>Now, I know your constitutional argument, and you don't like

0:00:26.200 --> 0:00:30.280
<v Speaker 1>the emergency powers that the president is using, and you

0:00:30.400 --> 0:00:34.320
<v Speaker 1>fields and abuse generally. Though you know you've been pretty

0:00:34.320 --> 0:00:36.640
<v Speaker 1>supportive of the president. I mean, I think it's been

0:00:36.960 --> 0:00:40.080
<v Speaker 1>a pretty productive one hundred days by any objective measure.

0:00:40.120 --> 0:00:41.160
<v Speaker 1>Would you agree with that part?

0:00:41.280 --> 0:00:43.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I give him an a plus for the one

0:00:43.040 --> 0:00:45.280
<v Speaker 2>hundred days. I don't like the tariffs and think it'll

0:00:45.320 --> 0:00:47.440
<v Speaker 2>be bad for the country, but if he's able to

0:00:47.479 --> 0:00:50.519
<v Speaker 2>negotiate lower tariffs, I'll be for a complimentary of that.

0:00:50.960 --> 0:00:53.600
<v Speaker 2>But on the cabinet, I was supported, and I've helped

0:00:53.640 --> 0:00:56.760
<v Speaker 2>get his cabinet members through my committee chair a committee

0:00:57.440 --> 0:01:02.400
<v Speaker 2>been ecstatic about Bobby Kennedy, j benachariot NIH, Marty MCCAREYOT

0:01:02.520 --> 0:01:07.440
<v Speaker 2>FDA cash Battel, Tulsa Gabbard. Many of these are people

0:01:07.600 --> 0:01:10.319
<v Speaker 2>I would have picked, frankly, so I've been ecstatic about that.

0:01:10.400 --> 0:01:11.800
<v Speaker 2>I think he's doing a lot of good things for

0:01:11.840 --> 0:01:16.880
<v Speaker 2>the border, my goodness, without a dollar and without any legislation,

0:01:17.000 --> 0:01:21.600
<v Speaker 2>low and behold, just with his sheer presence, his sheer force,

0:01:21.680 --> 0:01:26.080
<v Speaker 2>the presidence, he's you know, ended the onslaught at the border.

0:01:26.080 --> 0:01:28.360
<v Speaker 2>I mean, it still has to be watched carefully, but

0:01:28.760 --> 0:01:31.480
<v Speaker 2>he's probably reduced the flow of illegal Alians by like

0:01:31.560 --> 0:01:34.920
<v Speaker 2>ninety of the border just by saying he cares about

0:01:34.920 --> 0:01:37.839
<v Speaker 2>it and sending some extra troops down there.

0:01:38.319 --> 0:01:41.600
<v Speaker 1>Let me ask this question before we get to your

0:01:41.840 --> 0:01:45.920
<v Speaker 1>constitutional argument, which I'm always interested in hearing. Do you

0:01:46.080 --> 0:01:49.120
<v Speaker 1>agree with the premise of the President that friend and

0:01:49.160 --> 0:01:54.440
<v Speaker 1>fall alike, that they have ripped off America with unfair

0:01:54.600 --> 0:01:58.680
<v Speaker 1>high towers against us. That would include friendly nations like

0:01:59.280 --> 0:02:04.600
<v Speaker 1>Canada and the European Union. For example, the European Union

0:02:04.680 --> 0:02:07.240
<v Speaker 1>charges is a ten percent tariff on an American car

0:02:07.400 --> 0:02:11.200
<v Speaker 1>being sold in their countries. Then a country like Germany

0:02:11.200 --> 0:02:13.320
<v Speaker 1>they have a twenty percent VAT tax, which is a

0:02:13.400 --> 0:02:17.560
<v Speaker 1>value added tax, a national sales tax, and you know,

0:02:17.600 --> 0:02:20.400
<v Speaker 1>by the time an American car you know, makes it

0:02:20.400 --> 0:02:23.480
<v Speaker 1>on a lot in Germany, it's sticker price is thirty

0:02:23.480 --> 0:02:28.000
<v Speaker 1>percent higher, which has rendered a pretty much cost you know,

0:02:28.080 --> 0:02:32.000
<v Speaker 1>prohibitive for many people in Germany. And while they sell

0:02:32.040 --> 0:02:36.000
<v Speaker 1>about fifty million cars a year annually here, we only

0:02:36.080 --> 0:02:39.200
<v Speaker 1>sell about eight million to nine million over there. And

0:02:40.040 --> 0:02:43.760
<v Speaker 1>I think that is that those are unfair trade practices.

0:02:44.840 --> 0:02:48.919
<v Speaker 1>Do you agree with the President's premise, which is we're

0:02:48.919 --> 0:02:52.800
<v Speaker 1>getting ripped off, We're being abused by even countries that

0:02:52.840 --> 0:02:56.520
<v Speaker 1>depend on us for their national security and defense. And

0:02:56.680 --> 0:02:59.240
<v Speaker 1>is there something in principle that is really wrong about that?

0:03:00.080 --> 0:03:02.280
<v Speaker 2>Definitely on NATO, Yeah, I think we've been ripped off

0:03:02.320 --> 0:03:04.520
<v Speaker 2>for years and years and they should be made to

0:03:04.560 --> 0:03:07.160
<v Speaker 2>pay their fair share. With trade. I think there is

0:03:07.200 --> 0:03:11.240
<v Speaker 2>a fundamental fallacy. So for example, if you say, what

0:03:11.280 --> 0:03:14.000
<v Speaker 2>does the US buy from China? What is China about

0:03:14.000 --> 0:03:16.360
<v Speaker 2>from the US. They actually don't trade with each other.

0:03:16.680 --> 0:03:20.160
<v Speaker 2>Only individuals trade with other individuals. So if people say, well,

0:03:20.200 --> 0:03:22.000
<v Speaker 2>I hate the trade with China and we should buy

0:03:22.000 --> 0:03:25.440
<v Speaker 2>from China, that's millions of Americans who go to Walmart

0:03:25.480 --> 0:03:28.720
<v Speaker 2>are making a decision. So let's say a million Americans

0:03:28.760 --> 0:03:30.680
<v Speaker 2>go and buy a TV at Walmart and it costs

0:03:30.720 --> 0:03:33.800
<v Speaker 2>three hundred dollars less, and it comes from China, so

0:03:33.840 --> 0:03:36.400
<v Speaker 2>you get a three hundred dollars cheaper TV. Every one

0:03:36.440 --> 0:03:39.880
<v Speaker 2>of those million consumers made a trade, but they all

0:03:39.880 --> 0:03:41.440
<v Speaker 2>feel like they got a good deal. They wouldn't have

0:03:41.440 --> 0:03:43.840
<v Speaker 2>given up their money to get the thing. So all

0:03:43.880 --> 0:03:46.440
<v Speaker 2>trade is advantageous to the people making the trade, or

0:03:46.480 --> 0:03:48.840
<v Speaker 2>you won't give up your money. If it's voluntary, you

0:03:48.960 --> 0:03:51.800
<v Speaker 2>buy something and you're always happy with the trade. But

0:03:51.840 --> 0:03:54.000
<v Speaker 2>if you take all million people who bought a TV

0:03:54.120 --> 0:03:56.360
<v Speaker 2>and say three hundred dollars and add it together, and

0:03:56.440 --> 0:03:58.600
<v Speaker 2>you say, well, gosh, all those TVs came from China

0:03:58.640 --> 0:04:01.280
<v Speaker 2>and none came of America, they're ripping. So it's an

0:04:01.400 --> 0:04:04.480
<v Speaker 2>artificial accounting or a way of looking at it. Because

0:04:04.560 --> 0:04:07.880
<v Speaker 2>every individual in the million person trade there was happy.

0:04:08.200 --> 0:04:10.200
<v Speaker 2>How can we bundle them together and say we got

0:04:10.240 --> 0:04:13.480
<v Speaker 2>ripped off? So you could say it's an unfair country

0:04:13.520 --> 0:04:15.760
<v Speaker 2>to country, say well, god, they have hire tariffs, but

0:04:15.800 --> 0:04:18.280
<v Speaker 2>if they have hire tariffs on American goods, they are

0:04:18.279 --> 0:04:21.640
<v Speaker 2>punishing their consumers. So we can then say, well, we'll

0:04:21.640 --> 0:04:24.040
<v Speaker 2>punish our consumers the same as they do. By raising

0:04:24.040 --> 0:04:24.960
<v Speaker 2>our arabs to mean no.

0:04:25.040 --> 0:04:30.599
<v Speaker 1>But they're also punishing American American manufacturers, American farmers, American

0:04:30.680 --> 0:04:36.760
<v Speaker 1>ranchers because they're closing their markets, like for example, Canada. Canada,

0:04:37.400 --> 0:04:42.240
<v Speaker 1>you know, only allows a certain small percentage of dairy

0:04:42.480 --> 0:04:44.400
<v Speaker 1>to be brought into their country, and then they go

0:04:44.480 --> 0:04:47.159
<v Speaker 1>up to a two hundred and fifty percent tariff, and

0:04:47.200 --> 0:04:51.520
<v Speaker 1>they're basically, well, we have open markets for them and

0:04:51.920 --> 0:04:57.400
<v Speaker 1>their manufacturers and their producers and their lumber of people.

0:04:58.080 --> 0:05:00.120
<v Speaker 1>Why would they shut the door in the face of

0:05:00.520 --> 0:05:04.440
<v Speaker 1>our dairy farmers or are other farmers or other American products,

0:05:04.480 --> 0:05:06.679
<v Speaker 1>which they've been doing now for a long period of time.

0:05:07.080 --> 0:05:10.080
<v Speaker 1>So in other words, they're hurting farmers and ranchers and

0:05:10.200 --> 0:05:15.039
<v Speaker 1>manufacturers here. And sure, maybe the person that likes getting

0:05:15.080 --> 0:05:18.080
<v Speaker 1>a cheaper TV, but the person that actually produces things

0:05:18.080 --> 0:05:20.760
<v Speaker 1>that they would otherwise consume, they're they're not given free

0:05:20.800 --> 0:05:23.600
<v Speaker 1>access the way where we have given them free access.

0:05:23.800 --> 0:05:26.320
<v Speaker 2>So when I first heard this about Canada, I was

0:05:26.400 --> 0:05:29.000
<v Speaker 2>somewhat persuaded and somewhat pissed off that they would have

0:05:29.000 --> 0:05:31.239
<v Speaker 2>a two hundred and seventy percent tair up on our dairy.

0:05:31.800 --> 0:05:35.000
<v Speaker 1>But then looks after a per certain percentage has been sold. Yes,

0:05:35.200 --> 0:05:35.600
<v Speaker 1>me and I.

0:05:35.560 --> 0:05:37.560
<v Speaker 2>Looked into it, but you know, it doesn't come into

0:05:37.560 --> 0:05:40.840
<v Speaker 2>play at all. There is no goods, No dairy goes

0:05:40.920 --> 0:05:43.120
<v Speaker 2>to the Canada as the two hundred and seventy percent

0:05:43.200 --> 0:05:46.120
<v Speaker 2>chaire because we never reached the quota. And the interesting

0:05:46.160 --> 0:05:51.600
<v Speaker 2>thing is is when Trump renegotiated the US Mexico Canada agreement,

0:05:51.960 --> 0:05:55.279
<v Speaker 2>he raised the quota, so he was successful in raising

0:05:55.279 --> 0:05:57.680
<v Speaker 2>the quota, and we never get anywhere close to the quota.

0:05:57.720 --> 0:06:00.520
<v Speaker 2>So in some ways it's a red herring. There is

0:06:00.560 --> 0:06:03.479
<v Speaker 2>a two hundred and seventy percent tariff above a certain amount.

0:06:03.560 --> 0:06:06.400
<v Speaker 2>We never get there. We're always well below the number,

0:06:06.520 --> 0:06:08.080
<v Speaker 2>so there really is a terriff of zero.

0:06:08.680 --> 0:06:11.279
<v Speaker 1>Jerry goes no that the tariff is not zero, because

0:06:11.320 --> 0:06:14.120
<v Speaker 1>before you hit that number, the tariff is anywhere between

0:06:14.120 --> 0:06:15.480
<v Speaker 1>five and ten percent.

0:06:15.440 --> 0:06:17.400
<v Speaker 2>Very small and actually quite a bit of it.

0:06:17.440 --> 0:06:19.080
<v Speaker 1>I don't think it's small. I mean because we're not

0:06:19.160 --> 0:06:21.960
<v Speaker 1>putting tariffs on the products that bring it into this country,

0:06:22.000 --> 0:06:24.520
<v Speaker 1>so there is an unfair tariff balance there.

0:06:24.640 --> 0:06:27.000
<v Speaker 2>I guess the thing I would say is is that

0:06:27.400 --> 0:06:32.560
<v Speaker 2>tariffs punish your own consumers. So Canada or any other

0:06:32.600 --> 0:06:35.839
<v Speaker 2>country that wants to punish their consumers can but we shouldn't.

0:06:35.920 --> 0:06:40.360
<v Speaker 1>Right, let's accept that as true. Then don't tariffs high

0:06:40.440 --> 0:06:45.200
<v Speaker 1>tariffs also punish I mean maybe we maybe consumers benefit.

0:06:45.480 --> 0:06:48.000
<v Speaker 1>I'll concede the point to you. What's the unfair if

0:06:48.040 --> 0:06:50.360
<v Speaker 1>the president says you can have we can have free

0:06:50.400 --> 0:06:53.400
<v Speaker 1>and fair trade across the board so we have a

0:06:53.560 --> 0:06:56.400
<v Speaker 1>level playing field. Or if you're going to tiff us,

0:06:56.440 --> 0:06:59.599
<v Speaker 1>we'll put reciprocal tariffs on you. Tell me why that's unfair.

0:07:00.040 --> 0:07:02.800
<v Speaker 2>We're able to negotiate tariff lower. I'd be off with that.

0:07:03.000 --> 0:07:05.600
<v Speaker 2>And to the extent that Donald Trump will be able

0:07:05.640 --> 0:07:09.279
<v Speaker 2>to in the first ninety days negotiate lower tariffs, I

0:07:09.279 --> 0:07:12.400
<v Speaker 2>think that would be great. If we just simply reciprocate

0:07:12.440 --> 0:07:15.840
<v Speaker 2>and add to it, There'll be a cost and somebody

0:07:15.880 --> 0:07:18.320
<v Speaker 2>has to pay that cost, and that'll be American consumers.

0:07:18.600 --> 0:07:20.720
<v Speaker 2>So I don't I'm just an old fashioned conservatives. I

0:07:20.760 --> 0:07:23.160
<v Speaker 2>don't like taxes, tariffs or taxes. Why would I like

0:07:23.200 --> 0:07:25.600
<v Speaker 2>taxes any better? On goods that I would like an

0:07:25.640 --> 0:07:26.400
<v Speaker 2>income taxer?

0:07:26.600 --> 0:07:28.600
<v Speaker 1>But do you believe in I'm with you, I want

0:07:28.600 --> 0:07:30.520
<v Speaker 1>low taxes too, But do you believe in free and

0:07:30.560 --> 0:07:32.960
<v Speaker 1>fair trade. Also because I'm a free and fair trader.

0:07:33.520 --> 0:07:37.520
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. For I think trade itself is an extension of capitalism,

0:07:37.600 --> 0:07:40.480
<v Speaker 2>and so capitalism creates great wealth, and so the more

0:07:40.520 --> 0:07:42.600
<v Speaker 2>we trade, the more wealth we have. And that's what

0:07:42.640 --> 0:07:46.040
<v Speaker 2>we found over seventy years, really is that people have

0:07:46.200 --> 0:07:48.040
<v Speaker 2>moved from the lower class in middle class in our

0:07:48.080 --> 0:07:51.040
<v Speaker 2>country to the upper class. If you look at prosperity,

0:07:51.040 --> 0:07:55.200
<v Speaker 2>if you look at GDP per capita, it's going up astronomically.

0:07:55.520 --> 0:07:57.320
<v Speaker 2>If you look at how many hours it takes to

0:07:57.360 --> 0:08:00.640
<v Speaker 2>buy something like a TV, it takes ten percent of

0:08:00.680 --> 0:08:04.080
<v Speaker 2>the hours that used to take rice food, It takes

0:08:04.080 --> 0:08:08.200
<v Speaker 2>ten percent of the time clothing. We've had extraordinary wealth

0:08:08.280 --> 0:08:10.680
<v Speaker 2>because we now have a free time from all that

0:08:10.760 --> 0:08:14.040
<v Speaker 2>money we saved through international trade to buy other stuff

0:08:14.160 --> 0:08:17.320
<v Speaker 2>or to have more leisure time. So really the story

0:08:17.320 --> 0:08:19.760
<v Speaker 2>of trade over the last seventy years has been one

0:08:19.800 --> 0:08:22.160
<v Speaker 2>of extraordinary prosperity for our country.

0:08:22.680 --> 0:08:25.160
<v Speaker 1>I do think, and you seem to, you know, not

0:08:25.320 --> 0:08:28.360
<v Speaker 1>concede this point, that would be that we've been ripped

0:08:28.400 --> 0:08:32.280
<v Speaker 1>off and treated unfairly, and especially by countries. It's not

0:08:32.360 --> 0:08:35.599
<v Speaker 1>just NATO, it's all of Europe. Pretty much depends on

0:08:35.640 --> 0:08:39.040
<v Speaker 1>the United States for the national security, and a lot

0:08:39.080 --> 0:08:42.199
<v Speaker 1>of these countries have not paid their fair share to NATO.

0:08:42.320 --> 0:08:46.400
<v Speaker 1>That's one aspect of it. But the idea that they're

0:08:46.440 --> 0:08:52.719
<v Speaker 1>going to charge tariffs to American manufacturers and American companies

0:08:52.720 --> 0:08:56.680
<v Speaker 1>and farmers and ranchers, I just think fundamentally is unfair.

0:08:56.760 --> 0:09:00.120
<v Speaker 1>And I don't think they're being honest brokers and and

0:09:00.200 --> 0:09:03.080
<v Speaker 1>good trading partners and good allies when they do that

0:09:03.200 --> 0:09:07.040
<v Speaker 1>to us, which, as you rightly do point out, is

0:09:07.080 --> 0:09:11.240
<v Speaker 1>beneficial to everybody, but it's more beneficial to them right now.

0:09:11.320 --> 0:09:14.280
<v Speaker 1>And the president's challenging that status quo. And I think

0:09:14.280 --> 0:09:16.360
<v Speaker 1>it's going to result in better deals. I can't say

0:09:16.400 --> 0:09:18.640
<v Speaker 1>for certain, and I hope it's going to result in

0:09:18.679 --> 0:09:19.280
<v Speaker 1>better deals.

0:09:19.520 --> 0:09:22.439
<v Speaker 2>They're not wrong that there's the appearance and the reality

0:09:22.480 --> 0:09:24.760
<v Speaker 2>of it being unfair at one country is high tariffs

0:09:24.760 --> 0:09:27.320
<v Speaker 2>and one country is low tariffs. But someone has to

0:09:27.360 --> 0:09:30.320
<v Speaker 2>pay if you want to have If you're going to

0:09:30.400 --> 0:09:33.400
<v Speaker 2>force like somebody has a twenty percent tariff on you

0:09:33.440 --> 0:09:34.719
<v Speaker 2>and you as a zero you said I want to

0:09:34.760 --> 0:09:37.360
<v Speaker 2>do twenty percent, the American consumer will have to absorb

0:09:37.440 --> 0:09:39.680
<v Speaker 2>that twenty percent in order to get a better sense

0:09:39.720 --> 0:09:43.120
<v Speaker 2>of fairness, but there's an economic cost to it. And

0:09:43.200 --> 0:09:44.480
<v Speaker 2>so what I'm going to say.

0:09:44.400 --> 0:09:47.920
<v Speaker 1>Is that is it wrong then to challenge the system

0:09:48.120 --> 0:09:51.439
<v Speaker 1>and at least put the pressure on to to at

0:09:51.520 --> 0:09:54.920
<v Speaker 1>least at least try to get the system more fair

0:09:55.720 --> 0:09:56.760
<v Speaker 1>and more free.

0:09:57.120 --> 0:10:00.439
<v Speaker 2>I'm all for the negotiations I worry about out when

0:10:00.480 --> 0:10:03.720
<v Speaker 2>you put one hundred and forty six percent tariff on

0:10:03.800 --> 0:10:06.920
<v Speaker 2>things from Vietnam and the marketplace looks at that and

0:10:06.960 --> 0:10:09.160
<v Speaker 2>people get scared out of the wits and sell six

0:10:09.200 --> 0:10:12.080
<v Speaker 2>point six trillion dollars worth of stock in two days.

0:10:12.120 --> 0:10:15.320
<v Speaker 2>This isn't just me complaining. This is the marketplace, which

0:10:15.360 --> 0:10:21.120
<v Speaker 2>is millions of self interested, self centered but also people

0:10:21.120 --> 0:10:23.920
<v Speaker 2>who have a great deal of knowledge are all trading,

0:10:23.960 --> 0:10:26.839
<v Speaker 2>and that simultaneous knowledge that the market that place tells

0:10:26.920 --> 0:10:29.880
<v Speaker 2>is they were worried about all of that. So there

0:10:29.920 --> 0:10:32.720
<v Speaker 2>is a way to try to negotiate trade deals and

0:10:32.840 --> 0:10:36.000
<v Speaker 2>lower trade and to enhance trade, but yet to be careful.

0:10:36.000 --> 0:10:38.680
<v Speaker 2>But I'd take two items. I'd take steel and choose,

0:10:39.240 --> 0:10:42.320
<v Speaker 2>and i would say, we've tried to protect steel on

0:10:42.400 --> 0:10:45.480
<v Speaker 2>and off for seventy years, but are steal was inefficient?

0:10:46.000 --> 0:10:50.400
<v Speaker 2>Organized labor unions demanded extraordinary wages, and we just got

0:10:50.400 --> 0:10:53.480
<v Speaker 2>out competed with cars. When you look at cars, the

0:10:53.559 --> 0:10:56.040
<v Speaker 2>Japanese are just so much better. They're still better. They

0:10:56.040 --> 0:10:58.480
<v Speaker 2>come to our country and manufacture here, and they still

0:10:58.520 --> 0:11:01.040
<v Speaker 2>make it better and cheap for the American cars do

0:11:01.080 --> 0:11:03.000
<v Speaker 2>and they do it here. I don't think there's any

0:11:03.000 --> 0:11:06.040
<v Speaker 2>amount of tariff that's bringing the steel industry back, and

0:11:06.080 --> 0:11:07.680
<v Speaker 2>I don't think there's any amount of tariff that brings

0:11:07.679 --> 0:11:10.640
<v Speaker 2>shoes back. But we replaced some of the shoe jobs,

0:11:10.640 --> 0:11:12.280
<v Speaker 2>like we make BMW and Green.

0:11:12.120 --> 0:11:16.280
<v Speaker 1>Well actually didn't. The President kind of got these companies Nissan, Honda,

0:11:16.320 --> 0:11:21.960
<v Speaker 1>for example, Toyota. My understanding is BMW, Mercedes are going

0:11:22.040 --> 0:11:26.040
<v Speaker 1>to build their cars with more American parts here as

0:11:26.120 --> 0:11:29.199
<v Speaker 1>the means of bypassing the tariffs. And I like it

0:11:29.240 --> 0:11:32.840
<v Speaker 1>because that results in high paying career jobs for Americans.

0:11:34.160 --> 0:11:38.280
<v Speaker 1>So I think the market is adjusting to the President's

0:11:38.360 --> 0:11:39.280
<v Speaker 1>challenge in that sense.

0:11:39.360 --> 0:11:42.760
<v Speaker 2>No, so we make three in Kentucky. We make the Corvette,

0:11:42.800 --> 0:11:45.760
<v Speaker 2>which is American aid, we make the Toyota Camery which.

0:11:45.640 --> 0:11:49.880
<v Speaker 1>Is American Corvette Z six is awesome, and we all make.

0:11:49.760 --> 0:11:53.040
<v Speaker 2>The four truck. All of these manufacturers come to me

0:11:53.640 --> 0:11:56.280
<v Speaker 2>and they say that the tariffs that have been placed

0:11:56.320 --> 0:12:00.160
<v Speaker 2>on the twenty five percent terraff between Mexico and Canada,

0:12:00.200 --> 0:12:04.320
<v Speaker 2>he adjusted to a low tariff atmosphere and they had

0:12:04.360 --> 0:12:06.439
<v Speaker 2>a lot of parts going back and forth. They say,

0:12:06.640 --> 0:12:10.480
<v Speaker 2>simply the compliance costs. Now banks can complain about compliance

0:12:10.520 --> 0:12:13.560
<v Speaker 2>costs of regulations. The compliance costs are figuring out a

0:12:13.600 --> 0:12:16.840
<v Speaker 2>tariff on every volt where it comes from. We have

0:12:16.920 --> 0:12:20.160
<v Speaker 2>seamless supply chain going back and forth between Canada, the

0:12:20.240 --> 0:12:23.520
<v Speaker 2>US and Mexico is extraordinary. But they're talking about five

0:12:23.559 --> 0:12:26.760
<v Speaker 2>to ten thousand dollars a car, so just not good

0:12:26.760 --> 0:12:28.720
<v Speaker 2>for America to pay more. At five to ten thousand

0:12:28.760 --> 0:12:30.800
<v Speaker 2>dollars more. In the end, you could say, well it's fair,

0:12:31.120 --> 0:12:32.760
<v Speaker 2>but Americans are going to have to pay five to

0:12:32.800 --> 0:12:35.079
<v Speaker 2>ten thousand dollars more per car, and I think a

0:12:35.120 --> 0:12:37.360
<v Speaker 2>lot of Americans will say, well, I'm going to put

0:12:37.400 --> 0:12:39.080
<v Speaker 2>off buying a car, and then we may end up

0:12:39.120 --> 0:12:41.839
<v Speaker 2>having a recession if everybody quits buying stuff because the

0:12:41.880 --> 0:12:43.040
<v Speaker 2>tariff tax is so high.

0:12:43.880 --> 0:12:48.760
<v Speaker 1>My best bet, and I can't put a guarantee on it,

0:12:48.800 --> 0:12:52.280
<v Speaker 1>is that all these countries that have expressed interest in

0:12:52.600 --> 0:12:55.839
<v Speaker 1>making deals with President Trump. I believe that that is real.

0:12:56.320 --> 0:12:58.280
<v Speaker 1>I think China will be the most difficult to make

0:12:58.320 --> 0:13:01.439
<v Speaker 1>a deal with, but in the end, they need access

0:13:01.480 --> 0:13:04.280
<v Speaker 1>to our markets, and we probably need their rare earth

0:13:04.360 --> 0:13:06.479
<v Speaker 1>minerals way more than we'd want to acknowledge.

0:13:06.960 --> 0:13:08.719
<v Speaker 2>That's more trade if we get that on for it.

0:13:08.720 --> 0:13:11.880
<v Speaker 2>But like let's say, for example, antibiotics, I don't want

0:13:11.920 --> 0:13:14.680
<v Speaker 2>four precious antibotics to only be made in China.

0:13:15.000 --> 0:13:17.640
<v Speaker 1>So what I would no, way, that's a security issue.

0:13:17.760 --> 0:13:20.320
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, well, you know what I would do rather than

0:13:20.400 --> 0:13:23.040
<v Speaker 2>the teriff issue where we might have no antibiotics or

0:13:23.080 --> 0:13:26.680
<v Speaker 2>the antibotic prices my triple, I would offer zero percent

0:13:26.760 --> 0:13:30.000
<v Speaker 2>corporate tax on somebody who'll make those antibiotics in our

0:13:30.040 --> 0:13:33.040
<v Speaker 2>country for ten years. I'd say no tax I wouldn't

0:13:33.040 --> 0:13:37.240
<v Speaker 2>say lower taxes. I would say no taxes will remove obstacles,

0:13:37.280 --> 0:13:39.520
<v Speaker 2>will expedite the approve of it. But if you want

0:13:39.520 --> 0:13:42.280
<v Speaker 2>to make a maxacillin, which is dedrivative of penicillin in

0:13:42.320 --> 0:13:45.160
<v Speaker 2>our country and it's only anything only made in China,

0:13:45.679 --> 0:13:49.440
<v Speaker 2>you know, in fact, if that's legislation that we're considering introducing,

0:13:49.720 --> 0:13:53.040
<v Speaker 2>would be legislation to zero out taxes on anything that's

0:13:53.040 --> 0:13:56.480
<v Speaker 2>solely done in China, then we're not ruining the marketplace

0:13:56.559 --> 0:13:59.120
<v Speaker 2>before fixing it. It takes a while, might take a

0:13:59.200 --> 0:14:02.520
<v Speaker 2>year or two for a company to develop a steel company,

0:14:02.600 --> 0:14:05.120
<v Speaker 2>might cost one hundred billion for a blast furnace. I

0:14:05.200 --> 0:14:07.720
<v Speaker 2>just don't think that's happening. But I'm not against giving

0:14:07.760 --> 0:14:09.800
<v Speaker 2>tax inventives to US steel companies.

0:14:09.920 --> 0:14:12.440
<v Speaker 1>Look, this is going to play out. I agree with you, though.

0:14:12.520 --> 0:14:16.040
<v Speaker 1>I think the quicker these issues are resolved and hopefully

0:14:16.120 --> 0:14:19.600
<v Speaker 1>better and freer and fairer trade deals would benefit not

0:14:19.640 --> 0:14:24.240
<v Speaker 1>only consumers, butt manufacturers and farmers and ranchers that have

0:14:24.320 --> 0:14:26.600
<v Speaker 1>been shut out of some of these markets. I think

0:14:26.840 --> 0:14:28.920
<v Speaker 1>is the benefit for all Americans in the end. But

0:14:30.000 --> 0:14:32.560
<v Speaker 1>it's complicated. The sooner it's resolved, I would agree with you,

0:14:32.600 --> 0:14:34.080
<v Speaker 1>the better it's going to be for everybody.

0:14:34.200 --> 0:14:37.120
<v Speaker 2>If we could have within the ninety days a reciprocal

0:14:37.240 --> 0:14:40.480
<v Speaker 2>lowering affaires between countries, and now that you'll see a

0:14:40.520 --> 0:14:43.040
<v Speaker 2>boom and an increase in the market like you haven't

0:14:43.040 --> 0:14:46.120
<v Speaker 2>seen big time. Yeah, but we needed Right now, we're

0:14:46.120 --> 0:14:50.040
<v Speaker 2>increasing government aid for farmers because the farmers are going

0:14:50.080 --> 0:14:51.680
<v Speaker 2>to be excluded from China's market.

0:14:52.240 --> 0:14:54.240
<v Speaker 1>China will also have to give in over time. We're

0:14:54.280 --> 0:14:56.240
<v Speaker 1>just out of time, though, a Senator Rampaul, we always

0:14:56.240 --> 0:15:00.840
<v Speaker 1>appreciate you, thanks so much for being with us Democrats,

0:15:01.000 --> 0:15:06.720
<v Speaker 1>I mean the party of angry, petulant bingo cards, slogans, singing,

0:15:07.560 --> 0:15:12.359
<v Speaker 1>and now the party led by the squad aoc Chasmine

0:15:12.360 --> 0:15:16.920
<v Speaker 1>Crockett and Grandpa Bernie. You know they're just out of

0:15:16.960 --> 0:15:21.080
<v Speaker 1>it and just had a complete meltdown during about Donald

0:15:21.080 --> 0:15:24.160
<v Speaker 1>Trump's first hundred days. Let's play it. Let me tell

0:15:24.200 --> 0:15:28.000
<v Speaker 1>you we have a thug and charge of the United States,

0:15:28.240 --> 0:15:30.880
<v Speaker 1>and if we don't wake up, we may not have

0:15:31.040 --> 0:15:32.160
<v Speaker 1>a United States.

0:15:32.360 --> 0:15:35.520
<v Speaker 3>I don't swear in colicary love, but we have to

0:15:35.920 --> 0:15:39.920
<v Speaker 3>Trump trouble Donald Trump.

0:15:40.040 --> 0:15:44.840
<v Speaker 4>And and what Grant said is there are but two

0:15:44.960 --> 0:15:49.880
<v Speaker 4>parties in America right now, patriots and traders.

0:15:49.880 --> 0:15:51.160
<v Speaker 1>When is it going to be enough?

0:15:51.640 --> 0:15:53.440
<v Speaker 5>My voice is inadequate, my.

0:15:53.480 --> 0:15:56.600
<v Speaker 1>Efforts today, are you inadequate to.

0:15:56.600 --> 0:16:04.560
<v Speaker 5>Stop what they're trying to do? You get Trump mustered hands.

0:16:03.640 --> 0:16:07.400
<v Speaker 1>Must now. The President, I think very smartly went to

0:16:07.440 --> 0:16:10.240
<v Speaker 1>Michigan last night and he decided to lay out his

0:16:10.400 --> 0:16:13.440
<v Speaker 1>case for his first hundred days and all the success

0:16:14.080 --> 0:16:18.240
<v Speaker 1>and frankly the foundation that he is building for a

0:16:18.240 --> 0:16:22.160
<v Speaker 1>lot of future American growth, prosperity, the America's golden age,

0:16:22.160 --> 0:16:22.840
<v Speaker 1>as he calls it.

0:16:23.600 --> 0:16:26.320
<v Speaker 3>We've set all time records for the lowest number of

0:16:26.480 --> 0:16:28.760
<v Speaker 3>illegal border crossings ever recorded.

0:16:28.960 --> 0:16:30.400
<v Speaker 1>Think of that ever recorded.

0:16:30.800 --> 0:16:34.320
<v Speaker 3>I'm proud to be the president for the workers and

0:16:34.640 --> 0:16:37.480
<v Speaker 3>not the outsources, the president who stands up for Main

0:16:37.640 --> 0:16:41.640
<v Speaker 3>Street on Wall Street. Our golden age has only just begun.

0:16:42.200 --> 0:16:45.680
<v Speaker 3>We are one people, one family, and one glorious nation

0:16:45.920 --> 0:16:46.440
<v Speaker 3>under God.

0:16:46.880 --> 0:16:47.920
<v Speaker 1>We will never give in.

0:16:48.080 --> 0:16:50.560
<v Speaker 3>We will never give up, we will never back down.

0:16:51.120 --> 0:16:52.960
<v Speaker 1>We will never ever surrender.

0:16:54.080 --> 0:16:57.680
<v Speaker 3>We will fight, fight, fight, and we will win, win, win.

0:16:58.720 --> 0:17:01.680
<v Speaker 1>And he capped off the day an interview with Terry

0:17:01.760 --> 0:17:06.960
<v Speaker 1>Moran uh over facilitating of Bregoe Garcia's return to the US.

0:17:08.040 --> 0:17:11.000
<v Speaker 1>Apparently one of this was this on ABC Nightly News

0:17:11.040 --> 0:17:14.000
<v Speaker 1>last night. Is that where they aired this, Linda, it is.

0:17:13.920 --> 0:17:16.600
<v Speaker 6>Indeed, I know you were watching with bated breath.

0:17:17.560 --> 0:17:19.000
<v Speaker 1>No, I haven't watched one of those.

0:17:21.200 --> 0:17:23.200
<v Speaker 6>Oh no, you love liberal news media.

0:17:23.280 --> 0:17:27.480
<v Speaker 1>Okay, I don't even know who the anchor is anymore. Donald,

0:17:30.440 --> 0:17:33.920
<v Speaker 1>I heard I heard that. Well, apparently wouldn't give the

0:17:33.960 --> 0:17:37.560
<v Speaker 1>interview to little Georgie and uh and David muror so

0:17:38.800 --> 0:17:42.080
<v Speaker 1>Terry Moran. I'm like, any I don't think he knew

0:17:42.119 --> 0:17:43.560
<v Speaker 1>who he was, that he was.

0:17:43.520 --> 0:17:45.920
<v Speaker 4>Out of here clips, you know. And David Muir doesn't

0:17:45.920 --> 0:17:47.840
<v Speaker 4>do an interview unless he can have his jacket nice

0:17:47.840 --> 0:17:50.719
<v Speaker 4>and tight. So Donald Trump wasn't, you know, couldn't make

0:17:50.760 --> 0:17:53.000
<v Speaker 4>it work. He's like, sorry, brother, whatever.

0:17:53.280 --> 0:17:57.400
<v Speaker 1>I cannot tell you. Who anchors NBC Nightly News since

0:17:57.480 --> 0:18:00.080
<v Speaker 1>Lester Holt left. I have no idea. I have. I

0:18:00.119 --> 0:18:05.320
<v Speaker 1>have no idea. After Nora O'Donnell was sacked from CBS.

0:18:05.560 --> 0:18:07.440
<v Speaker 1>Who's anchor in that show? You know? It could be

0:18:07.520 --> 0:18:09.440
<v Speaker 1>Katie Kirk for all I know. I have no idea.

0:18:09.520 --> 0:18:11.439
<v Speaker 6>Could be Katy Perry for all you know, you know

0:18:11.720 --> 0:18:12.920
<v Speaker 6>and make it really weird.

0:18:13.480 --> 0:18:17.000
<v Speaker 1>Could be Katy Perry. He's busy flying rocket ships and

0:18:17.160 --> 0:18:20.320
<v Speaker 1>kissing Mother Earth or whatever she is. Eleven minutes later,

0:18:20.520 --> 0:18:22.200
<v Speaker 1>upon return the star struck.

0:18:21.920 --> 0:18:23.919
<v Speaker 6>In quote unquote space with a sunflower.

0:18:23.960 --> 0:18:27.080
<v Speaker 1>Give me a break whatever, I mean, who cares? I

0:18:27.119 --> 0:18:29.160
<v Speaker 1>don't know what. But it was a whole story about

0:18:29.200 --> 0:18:31.560
<v Speaker 1>people hating on Katy Perry. I don't just like her,

0:18:32.000 --> 0:18:35.160
<v Speaker 1>I do I did see her on American Idol, and

0:18:35.240 --> 0:18:36.560
<v Speaker 1>she seemed like a nice person.

0:18:37.520 --> 0:18:39.920
<v Speaker 6>She took that land from the nuns kind of over her.

0:18:40.280 --> 0:18:42.080
<v Speaker 1>Oh that's right, I remember that contrary.

0:18:42.160 --> 0:18:44.440
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, you can't forget that stuff. You can't mess with nuns. Man.

0:18:44.480 --> 0:18:46.199
<v Speaker 1>Come on, I ever tell you before I get to

0:18:46.280 --> 0:18:48.080
<v Speaker 1>Terry Moran and Trump, I ever tell you the story.

0:18:48.119 --> 0:18:52.280
<v Speaker 1>I bought a property and I get a letter. Well,

0:18:52.280 --> 0:18:54.960
<v Speaker 1>actually the letter came to a friend of mine. They

0:18:54.960 --> 0:18:57.800
<v Speaker 1>didn't have contact with me, and in the letter, it

0:18:57.880 --> 0:19:00.560
<v Speaker 1>turns out and we were in full contract. You know,

0:19:01.000 --> 0:19:02.880
<v Speaker 1>they had no legal right to get the house back,

0:19:03.760 --> 0:19:08.000
<v Speaker 1>and they had sellers remorse, really and just you know,

0:19:08.280 --> 0:19:11.840
<v Speaker 1>invoking probably the name of Jesus more than I could

0:19:11.880 --> 0:19:15.600
<v Speaker 1>count on one page, you know, hopefully just desperately wanted

0:19:15.640 --> 0:19:19.120
<v Speaker 1>their house back. And I'm like, I'm like, sure, no problem.

0:19:19.440 --> 0:19:22.120
<v Speaker 6>They wanted the houseback that you bought from.

0:19:21.920 --> 0:19:25.239
<v Speaker 1>Them, correct copy. I was in contract to clothes on

0:19:25.400 --> 0:19:29.400
<v Speaker 1>very soon and they went. They and the person had

0:19:29.840 --> 0:19:32.800
<v Speaker 1>sellows remorse. They regretted selling it, but.

0:19:32.840 --> 0:19:34.320
<v Speaker 6>It was it like their family home. Were they in

0:19:34.359 --> 0:19:36.399
<v Speaker 6>it for like thirty years or I.

0:19:36.400 --> 0:19:38.720
<v Speaker 1>Don't know, I didn't didn't. How do you know?

0:19:39.200 --> 0:19:41.080
<v Speaker 6>Would you ask questions when you're at closing I.

0:19:41.040 --> 0:19:44.440
<v Speaker 1>Just wanted this strong letter begging me not to buy

0:19:44.480 --> 0:19:48.040
<v Speaker 1>their house. And you know, I know you're a Christian.

0:19:48.080 --> 0:19:50.480
<v Speaker 1>I know you believe in Jesus, and I do this.

0:19:50.440 --> 0:19:52.520
<v Speaker 4>When you were already Sean Hannity, Or is this like

0:19:52.560 --> 0:19:54.480
<v Speaker 4>pre Sean Handity, like did they know who you were?

0:19:54.560 --> 0:19:54.720
<v Speaker 3>No?

0:19:54.720 --> 0:19:57.440
<v Speaker 1>No, no, this is what what do you mean pre show?

0:19:57.520 --> 0:19:58.359
<v Speaker 1>There was no pre show?

0:19:58.560 --> 0:20:00.720
<v Speaker 4>There's like Sean Hannity, I'm full and off a roof,

0:20:00.720 --> 0:20:02.760
<v Speaker 4>I'm working on boats, and then they're shine already.

0:20:03.480 --> 0:20:06.760
<v Speaker 1>Kennedy didn't have money to buy a house. Unfortunately, at

0:20:06.800 --> 0:20:09.480
<v Speaker 1>that time in my life, I was barely paying my rent,

0:20:10.520 --> 0:20:13.200
<v Speaker 1>and so I of course said, of course you're gonna

0:20:13.200 --> 0:20:15.040
<v Speaker 1>have your house back. If you don't feel good about it,

0:20:15.760 --> 0:20:17.760
<v Speaker 1>I'm not gonna. I can't well, I mean, what kind

0:20:17.760 --> 0:20:20.240
<v Speaker 1>of person would you be. You got to have a heart,

0:20:20.280 --> 0:20:24.080
<v Speaker 1>You gotta have a soul. I would have liked the house,

0:20:24.160 --> 0:20:26.160
<v Speaker 1>but I'm not going to make anything more important than

0:20:26.400 --> 0:20:27.200
<v Speaker 1>being a good person.

0:20:27.359 --> 0:20:31.240
<v Speaker 4>That's really really nice. Maybe you should call Katie Perry and.

0:20:33.359 --> 0:20:35.200
<v Speaker 1>Tell her to give the nuns their property back.

0:20:35.200 --> 0:20:37.960
<v Speaker 6>Here you go, like, hey, miss Firework, how do you

0:20:38.000 --> 0:20:38.520
<v Speaker 6>feel about that?

0:20:38.600 --> 0:20:38.719
<v Speaker 5>Oh?

0:20:38.760 --> 0:20:40.879
<v Speaker 1>I just never had had an experience like that, and

0:20:40.920 --> 0:20:44.359
<v Speaker 1>I'm reading this letter every fifth order is Jesus. It

0:20:44.480 --> 0:20:48.240
<v Speaker 1>was just in that sense it was funny because I'm like, Okay,

0:20:48.920 --> 0:20:51.720
<v Speaker 1>you don't have to overseell me here. You regret selling

0:20:51.760 --> 0:20:55.119
<v Speaker 1>the house, you wish you didn't do it? Why would I?

0:20:55.240 --> 0:20:57.520
<v Speaker 1>Why would I want to bring pain into this person's life?

0:20:57.640 --> 0:20:59.840
<v Speaker 4>Now when you gave it back, did you like communicate

0:20:59.840 --> 0:21:02.320
<v Speaker 4>through your agent or did you actually like talk to

0:21:02.359 --> 0:21:02.800
<v Speaker 4>the person?

0:21:02.840 --> 0:21:05.840
<v Speaker 1>And I always use lawyers. I might have talked to

0:21:05.880 --> 0:21:08.520
<v Speaker 1>the woman briefly and just said, Okay, you'll cover the

0:21:08.560 --> 0:21:11.600
<v Speaker 1>costs of what I spent and you're gonna have your

0:21:11.600 --> 0:21:12.080
<v Speaker 1>house back.

0:21:12.160 --> 0:21:14.040
<v Speaker 6>But I mean, like, were they relieve? Were they happy?

0:21:14.119 --> 0:21:16.040
<v Speaker 6>Like what happened? I want the details?

0:21:17.240 --> 0:21:19.120
<v Speaker 1>Of course the woman was happy. I said, it gave

0:21:19.119 --> 0:21:19.879
<v Speaker 1>her what she wanted.

0:21:22.520 --> 0:21:23.440
<v Speaker 6>Did she tell you why?

0:21:23.440 --> 0:21:28.840
<v Speaker 1>Conversation I remember having was Okay, I understand, not a

0:21:28.840 --> 0:21:32.720
<v Speaker 1>big deal. Sure I'll you know, I'll rip up the contract.

0:21:32.840 --> 0:21:35.040
<v Speaker 1>You just agree to pay for the cost that I

0:21:35.080 --> 0:21:37.760
<v Speaker 1>incurred in the process of buying the house, which is

0:21:37.800 --> 0:21:39.640
<v Speaker 1>not you know, I was next to nothing. I paid

0:21:39.640 --> 0:21:42.440
<v Speaker 1>for an inspection, and I paid for you know, maybe

0:21:42.480 --> 0:21:42.959
<v Speaker 1>a lawyer.

0:21:43.280 --> 0:21:45.400
<v Speaker 6>Well, I think that's very nice of you, and I

0:21:45.440 --> 0:21:46.480
<v Speaker 6>hope that it was her family.

0:21:46.680 --> 0:21:47.880
<v Speaker 1>You would do the same thing.

0:21:48.040 --> 0:21:51.200
<v Speaker 4>Or I would absolutely When I buy my vacation home

0:21:51.320 --> 0:21:53.359
<v Speaker 4>and somebody wants my other home and I put this

0:21:53.440 --> 0:21:56.240
<v Speaker 4>home shore, I hope that someday that is a problem

0:21:56.320 --> 0:21:56.480
<v Speaker 4>I have.

0:21:56.680 --> 0:21:58.639
<v Speaker 1>Now, if at the home had already been transferred to

0:21:58.680 --> 0:22:00.840
<v Speaker 1>my name, I probably say you should have thought of

0:22:00.840 --> 0:22:03.040
<v Speaker 1>that before you sold it. At that point, you know,

0:22:03.320 --> 0:22:06.040
<v Speaker 1>you just go through too much of a rigmarole, just

0:22:06.080 --> 0:22:08.760
<v Speaker 1>too then it becomes too hard. I mean, you know,

0:22:08.880 --> 0:22:09.679
<v Speaker 1>come back a year.

0:22:09.600 --> 0:22:11.480
<v Speaker 6>Later at the property from you and they could pay

0:22:11.520 --> 0:22:12.080
<v Speaker 6>the mortgage.

0:22:12.200 --> 0:22:13.080
<v Speaker 1>You could do that too.

0:22:13.320 --> 0:22:15.720
<v Speaker 4>There's all listen, there's always a at the end of

0:22:15.760 --> 0:22:17.680
<v Speaker 4>the day. There is always a way. It's just how

0:22:17.720 --> 0:22:18.439
<v Speaker 4>bad you want it.

0:22:18.640 --> 0:22:21.000
<v Speaker 1>That's all all right. I forget about Terry Moran. Let's

0:22:21.000 --> 0:22:24.800
<v Speaker 1>get to our phones. I don't care about him. Uh

0:22:24.920 --> 0:22:28.400
<v Speaker 1>let's say Hida Blanca Maryland, Sean Hannity Show.

0:22:28.280 --> 0:22:31.400
<v Speaker 5>Hi, afternoon. Well, I just wanted to share with you

0:22:31.960 --> 0:22:37.960
<v Speaker 5>that I'm a proud American naturalized citizen from Alfavador. And

0:22:38.200 --> 0:22:40.960
<v Speaker 5>uh I am from Maryland. I am ma'am.

0:22:41.680 --> 0:22:42.960
<v Speaker 1>So you're a true Marylander.

0:22:43.800 --> 0:22:47.120
<v Speaker 5>Well, yes, originally from Melfavador, but yes I am a Marylander.

0:22:47.320 --> 0:22:51.360
<v Speaker 5>And uh in where the dents have turned Baltimore, Maryland

0:22:51.359 --> 0:22:54.640
<v Speaker 5>into bullet war murder land. Uh, that is what they

0:22:54.640 --> 0:23:00.480
<v Speaker 5>have done here. The policies have cost lives, which that

0:23:00.600 --> 0:23:07.080
<v Speaker 5>cannot be replaced. The economic just the there is no

0:23:07.119 --> 0:23:12.280
<v Speaker 5>safety net. The economic turmoil that we're under is unbearable.

0:23:14.119 --> 0:23:17.480
<v Speaker 5>And I wanted to share as a Salvadorian and now

0:23:17.560 --> 0:23:22.879
<v Speaker 5>American that oftentimes I've seen been here twenty excuse me,

0:23:22.960 --> 0:23:27.800
<v Speaker 5>forty two years next month, and I have seen immigrants

0:23:27.800 --> 0:23:33.360
<v Speaker 5>fight harder than those who are born here. That's very disappointing.

0:23:34.680 --> 0:23:37.119
<v Speaker 5>It's very disappointing.

0:23:37.200 --> 0:23:42.320
<v Speaker 1>Oh, I totally agree with you. I have seen immigrants

0:23:42.359 --> 0:23:47.080
<v Speaker 1>that appreciate freedom, especially if they come from countries where

0:23:47.080 --> 0:23:52.080
<v Speaker 1>they didn't have freedom and opportunity, you know, really appreciate

0:23:52.560 --> 0:23:55.280
<v Speaker 1>this country more than Americans. We kind of take things

0:23:55.400 --> 0:23:59.080
<v Speaker 1>as natural human nature to take things for granted. And

0:23:59.280 --> 0:24:02.600
<v Speaker 1>I remember one night I was working in an office

0:24:03.400 --> 0:24:05.359
<v Speaker 1>that this is when I was a painting contractor, and

0:24:05.359 --> 0:24:08.320
<v Speaker 1>it was overnight. I had to paint, and you know,

0:24:08.440 --> 0:24:12.600
<v Speaker 1>incomes this guy and he was a Russian immigrant and

0:24:12.640 --> 0:24:16.080
<v Speaker 1>the guy you know and ended up being so successful,

0:24:16.080 --> 0:24:18.399
<v Speaker 1>and he was there to clean the offices in the

0:24:18.440 --> 0:24:20.560
<v Speaker 1>middle of the night with his young son. I couldn't

0:24:20.840 --> 0:24:22.359
<v Speaker 1>sat talk to the guy for like an hour and

0:24:22.400 --> 0:24:23.720
<v Speaker 1>a half. Learned a lot from him.

0:24:23.760 --> 0:24:27.000
<v Speaker 5>Yes, yes, because one thing. And I can't say for all,

0:24:27.119 --> 0:24:30.760
<v Speaker 5>because I can't generalize all individuals. But one thing I

0:24:30.800 --> 0:24:34.280
<v Speaker 5>can say is that the circumstances that brought me here.

0:24:34.480 --> 0:24:37.040
<v Speaker 5>I was abused as a child in every way that

0:24:37.200 --> 0:24:40.879
<v Speaker 5>abuse could occur to someone, and I was adopted, and

0:24:40.920 --> 0:24:44.600
<v Speaker 5>I was adopted at age ten. So assimilating to a

0:24:44.640 --> 0:24:47.080
<v Speaker 5>new country, a new culture, a new family, a new home,

0:24:47.160 --> 0:24:52.200
<v Speaker 5>a new way of life, a new language, it really

0:24:52.240 --> 0:24:56.159
<v Speaker 5>helps me to understand the cost of what it means

0:24:56.200 --> 0:25:01.400
<v Speaker 5>to retain and preserve. I think that oftentime, many many

0:25:01.440 --> 0:25:06.080
<v Speaker 5>people that are that were born here, they they kind

0:25:06.119 --> 0:25:09.800
<v Speaker 5>of release. We try to retain. As conservatives, we retain

0:25:10.359 --> 0:25:13.600
<v Speaker 5>and we preserve that they try to release, and then

0:25:13.640 --> 0:25:17.680
<v Speaker 5>they pander, they tander to hold power, and that power

0:25:18.000 --> 0:25:23.280
<v Speaker 5>is not really power because they are holding so many

0:25:23.280 --> 0:25:28.480
<v Speaker 5>people hostage. The political party, especially here in Baltimore City,

0:25:28.600 --> 0:25:30.960
<v Speaker 5>is it's as corrupt as the late, the day is long.

0:25:31.119 --> 0:25:34.440
<v Speaker 5>It's very corrupt between the money that go to one

0:25:34.520 --> 0:25:38.080
<v Speaker 5>nonprofit to this nonprofit. And this one has a boyfriend

0:25:38.160 --> 0:25:40.400
<v Speaker 5>and that's why he got the grant. And then now

0:25:40.560 --> 0:25:42.879
<v Speaker 5>you know they're not together. And now this and that,

0:25:43.359 --> 0:25:46.120
<v Speaker 5>I mean this safe streets scam that we have here

0:25:46.240 --> 0:25:49.119
<v Speaker 5>you know where where where you can't know who they are,

0:25:49.280 --> 0:25:51.520
<v Speaker 5>but we know that they have a record and they're

0:25:51.600 --> 0:25:55.760
<v Speaker 5>just basically just walking around the streets being tour guides.

0:25:55.920 --> 0:25:59.280
<v Speaker 5>This is what safe streets is. Nobody can call it

0:25:59.320 --> 0:26:03.080
<v Speaker 5>out because then you're called every name. The school system

0:26:03.080 --> 0:26:06.359
<v Speaker 5>gets one point seven billion dollars. Yet we have eighty

0:26:06.400 --> 0:26:10.840
<v Speaker 5>one thousand people just in Baltimore without a high school degree,

0:26:11.040 --> 0:26:11.680
<v Speaker 5>and so as.

0:26:11.600 --> 0:26:14.320
<v Speaker 1>An immigrant, are there at thirteen or fifteen or some

0:26:15.200 --> 0:26:19.800
<v Speaker 1>astronomical number of Maryland high schools where kids not one

0:26:19.880 --> 0:26:25.000
<v Speaker 1>kid could pass a proficiency test in either reading, English

0:26:25.320 --> 0:26:28.920
<v Speaker 1>or math. Not one kid in high schools thirteen high

0:26:28.920 --> 0:26:30.800
<v Speaker 1>schools thirteen, yes.

0:26:30.720 --> 0:26:33.520
<v Speaker 5>In the thirteen out of the thirty seven schools. That

0:26:33.640 --> 0:26:37.720
<v Speaker 5>is correct. That is because the Democrats continue to lie

0:26:38.280 --> 0:26:42.920
<v Speaker 5>that you can get ahead by doing nothing, being socially promoted,

0:26:43.320 --> 0:26:46.080
<v Speaker 5>and then there's no accountability the rec centers are ready

0:26:46.080 --> 0:26:49.600
<v Speaker 5>to be opened onto eleven PM. And you know what

0:26:49.640 --> 0:26:53.119
<v Speaker 5>that means. Just the kids are going to just be

0:26:53.240 --> 0:26:56.280
<v Speaker 5>at a rec center while the parents are aware they

0:26:56.280 --> 0:27:00.960
<v Speaker 5>should be at home, they should be trained. But the perpetual,
