1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,480
Speaker 1: All right, News, Round of Information, overload hour toll free.

2
00:00:02,480 --> 00:00:04,120
Speaker 1: Here's our number. It's eight hundred and nine to four

3
00:00:04,200 --> 00:00:05,880
Speaker 1: one sean if you want to be a part of

4
00:00:05,880 --> 00:00:12,440
Speaker 1: the program. All right. China today responded to reciprocal tariffs

5
00:00:12,520 --> 00:00:15,160
Speaker 1: that Donald Trump has put on them. And then, by

6
00:00:15,160 --> 00:00:17,279
Speaker 1: the way, and James, you can grab me the list.

7
00:00:17,280 --> 00:00:21,680
Speaker 1: The list of products that China imposes tarifs on is

8
00:00:21,880 --> 00:00:28,800
Speaker 1: absolutely positively massive. It's almost every single product that we sell. Now,

9
00:00:29,080 --> 00:00:33,120
Speaker 1: China wants to access to American markets and our population.

10
00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:36,360
Speaker 1: And you know what they also use, you know, pretty

11
00:00:36,440 --> 00:00:39,120
Speaker 1: much slave labor. They got their sweatshops up and running

12
00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:41,879
Speaker 1: where they pay people next to nothing in China, and

13
00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:45,839
Speaker 1: they treat them horribly. They treat their workers horribly. And

14
00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:48,879
Speaker 1: if that's the case, if they want to if they

15
00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:52,360
Speaker 1: want to have a battle of the tariffs and they

16
00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:54,200
Speaker 1: want to play chicken with Donald Trump, it's not going

17
00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:56,959
Speaker 1: to work out. Well. Does that mean that maybe some

18
00:00:57,080 --> 00:01:00,240
Speaker 1: prices on some items might temporarily go up? Yeah, till

19
00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:02,920
Speaker 1: Americans figure out that Donald Trump is going to give

20
00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:08,120
Speaker 1: them major incentives to build manufacturing centers here in this country,

21
00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:09,760
Speaker 1: maybe not tax them at all or make them one

22
00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:13,240
Speaker 1: hundred percent deductible the cost of building it, which will

23
00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:17,319
Speaker 1: be great for manufacturing and great for American workers. Who

24
00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:20,080
Speaker 1: is they're going to have high paying career jobs in

25
00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:23,720
Speaker 1: all of these industries, from Apple to semiconductors and the

26
00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:28,360
Speaker 1: Taiwanese chip company and ai and auto manufacturing, et cetera.

27
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:32,360
Speaker 1: You know, they in China, Just to give you an extent,

28
00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:36,920
Speaker 1: China raise their tariffs in twenty nineteen sixty billion dollars

29
00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:41,600
Speaker 1: on US products, sixty billion that includes raising products are

30
00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:46,160
Speaker 1: more than five thousand items as high as twenty five percent.

31
00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:48,520
Speaker 1: Now they're going to raise it another thirty four percent,

32
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:52,280
Speaker 1: which means that we'll be able to sell nothing in China.

33
00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:55,040
Speaker 1: But guess what, They're not going to be able to

34
00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:59,600
Speaker 1: sell anything here either. I mean everything. It impacts every

35
00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:07,840
Speaker 1: single industry building materials, food that includes spirits and leather

36
00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:17,400
Speaker 1: goods and clothing, and automobiles and fertilizer, and you name it, telecommunications, equipment, television,

37
00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:22,160
Speaker 1: broadcast cameras, sailboats, motor boats, yachts, you name it. They're

38
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:25,920
Speaker 1: putting massive tariffs on it. And chicken and pork and

39
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:28,400
Speaker 1: soy and beef. They're hurting our ranchers. They're hurting our

40
00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:32,800
Speaker 1: farm farmers, They're hurting our auto manufacturers, they're hurting everybody.

41
00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:37,560
Speaker 1: I don't give a flying rip about the communist Chinese. Now,

42
00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:41,200
Speaker 1: the interesting thing is, and I know Wall Street's skittish,

43
00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:43,959
Speaker 1: I'm telling you what's going to happen is we already

44
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:47,720
Speaker 1: have nearly five trillion dollars committed because of the threat,

45
00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:51,880
Speaker 1: just prior to the announcement earlier this week, just because

46
00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:55,240
Speaker 1: of the threat of tariffs, you have five trillion dollars

47
00:02:55,280 --> 00:03:02,320
Speaker 1: committed between foreign countries and American industry, including Apple's five

48
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:06,160
Speaker 1: hundred billion dollars, including the Taiwanese chip company, including Nissan

49
00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:08,280
Speaker 1: and Honda, that we're going to build plants in Mexico,

50
00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:10,360
Speaker 1: that are now going to build them right here in

51
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:14,440
Speaker 1: the USA and create high paying career jobs for Americans. Democrats,

52
00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:17,280
Speaker 1: all of them, We've been playing all week. Janet Yelling

53
00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:23,079
Speaker 1: and Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi and Barack Husain Obama

54
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:26,639
Speaker 1: all have been saying the same thing. And you know what,

55
00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:29,160
Speaker 1: I'm just tired of hearing it. Let's go back to

56
00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:32,600
Speaker 1: what Donald Trump said about tariffs that China has levied

57
00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:34,440
Speaker 1: on us. He said this on Wednesday.

58
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:40,480
Speaker 2: China first row China sixty seven percent. That's tariffs charged

59
00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:45,440
Speaker 2: to the USA, including currency manipulation and trade barriers, So

60
00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:48,400
Speaker 2: sixty seven percent. I think you can for the most

61
00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:51,480
Speaker 2: part see it. So sixty seven percent. So we're going

62
00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:55,520
Speaker 2: to be charging a discounted reciprocal tariff of thirty four percent.

63
00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:58,480
Speaker 2: I think. In other words, they charge us, we charge him,

64
00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:00,800
Speaker 2: we charge m les. So how can any be upset?

65
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:04,400
Speaker 2: They will be because we never charged anybody anything, but

66
00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:09,080
Speaker 2: now we're going to charge It was only seven years

67
00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:12,600
Speaker 2: ago when I came in. We started with China charged

68
00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:15,560
Speaker 2: that we took in hundreds of billions of dollars from

69
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:22,360
Speaker 2: China in tariffs, and they understood. Honestly, Presidency understood. He said, look,

70
00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:25,240
Speaker 2: I understand, and the other countries and they all understand.

71
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:26,600
Speaker 3: We're gonna have to go.

72
00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:29,560
Speaker 2: Through a little tough love maybe, but they all understand

73
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:31,480
Speaker 2: they're ripping us off, and they understood it.

74
00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:35,719
Speaker 1: You have two choices. America continues to get ripped off

75
00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:40,960
Speaker 1: and being taken advantage of, and we go the institutional way.

76
00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:46,440
Speaker 1: It's sort of like, you know, if you're a conservative

77
00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:53,440
Speaker 1: maga republican versus an institutionalized rhino. You don't want to

78
00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:56,320
Speaker 1: rock the boat on anything. And that's been the that

79
00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:58,920
Speaker 1: has been the posture of the US for fifty years,

80
00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:02,159
Speaker 1: but it has always been the posture of the Democratic Party.

81
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:06,000
Speaker 1: I mentioned Janet Yale, and I mentioned Obama. I mentioned Schumer.

82
00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:10,600
Speaker 1: Just there as a reminder, here's Pelosi advocating for teriffs.

83
00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:14,039
Speaker 4: In terms of tariffs, I think it's interesting to note

84
00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:17,560
Speaker 4: that the average US MFN tariff on Chinese goods coming

85
00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:21,599
Speaker 4: into the United States is two percent, whereas the average

86
00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:25,720
Speaker 4: Chinese to MFF tariff on US goods going into China

87
00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:30,040
Speaker 4: is thirty five percent. Is that reciprocal? You have a

88
00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:33,360
Speaker 4: serious threat not only to our relationship but to the

89
00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:36,640
Speaker 4: industrialized world. And if there's one message that I want

90
00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:40,200
Speaker 4: our colleagues to understand today and our constituents, is that

91
00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:43,719
Speaker 4: on this day, your member of Congress could have drawn

92
00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:46,040
Speaker 4: the line to say to the President of the United

93
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:49,760
Speaker 4: States do something about this US China trade relationship. That

94
00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:52,560
Speaker 4: is a job loser for the United States.

95
00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:57,720
Speaker 1: Oh, very different conversation anyway. Gordon Chang is with us,

96
00:05:57,839 --> 00:06:00,279
Speaker 1: author of the book The Coming Collapse of China and

97
00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:04,279
Speaker 1: the Great US China Tech War. Welcome to the program.

98
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:07,839
Speaker 1: I am fed up as an American that our country

99
00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:10,320
Speaker 1: is being taken advantage of by friends and foe alike.

100
00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:13,240
Speaker 1: I am fed up being a sucker nation. I am

101
00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:17,560
Speaker 1: fed up with old school thinking. And I applaud the President.

102
00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:20,880
Speaker 1: And it has reaped a lot of dividends in terms

103
00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:24,640
Speaker 1: of commitments for investments and trillions and trillions of dollars.

104
00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:28,520
Speaker 1: And I guarantee you most of these countries are going

105
00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:31,080
Speaker 1: to come crawling back to the table because they want

106
00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:34,080
Speaker 1: access to our markets. If people could just hold the

107
00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:37,440
Speaker 1: line and stay patient, you know, for more than forty

108
00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:38,800
Speaker 1: eight hours, for crying out.

109
00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:42,839
Speaker 5: Loud, You're absolutely right, Sean. The important point here is

110
00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:45,880
Speaker 5: that if you drive through the Sound southern communities, if

111
00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:50,240
Speaker 5: you drive through Detroit, you will see American communities that

112
00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:53,320
Speaker 5: have been devastated by the loss of factories to China

113
00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:56,960
Speaker 5: and other countries. And the loss of those factories was

114
00:06:57,040 --> 00:07:00,640
Speaker 5: because of policies not only in the nineteen nineties when

115
00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:04,400
Speaker 5: you played that Nancy Pelosi clip, but also after China

116
00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:07,479
Speaker 5: joined the World Trade Organization in late two thousand and one.

117
00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:12,600
Speaker 5: And you're absolutely right. We have in China slave labor

118
00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:16,840
Speaker 5: wigers Kazakhs and other Turkic minorities, in addition to hand

119
00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:22,840
Speaker 5: Chinese working in horrific Christian conditions. We can't ask American

120
00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:26,080
Speaker 5: workers to compete against slave labor. As matter of fact,

121
00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:30,480
Speaker 5: I remember eighteen sixty we fought a war over labor practices.

122
00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:35,320
Speaker 5: We cannot allow slaves to compete with Americans. We have

123
00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:37,520
Speaker 5: to reindustrialize our country.

124
00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:38,600
Speaker 3: So I am so.

125
00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:42,840
Speaker 5: Happy that you have talked about this in such meaningful terms.

126
00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:46,760
Speaker 1: Well it's meaningful. I mean, there really are two options.

127
00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:50,120
Speaker 1: Either we continue to allow countries to take advantage of us,

128
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:54,280
Speaker 1: abuse our friendship. In the case of allies, you know,

129
00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:56,760
Speaker 1: I expect it from foes like China. I expect them

130
00:07:56,760 --> 00:07:59,880
Speaker 1: from Russia. I expect them from Iran and maybe North Korea.

131
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:02,680
Speaker 1: I don't expect it from Japan, don't I don't expect

132
00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:06,640
Speaker 1: it from Canada, I don't expect it from from European countries.

133
00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:12,880
Speaker 1: Almost all the countries that I mentioned benefit from American security,

134
00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:17,560
Speaker 1: an American investment in national defense, and are counting on

135
00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:21,080
Speaker 1: us if that moment ever comes comes in there in

136
00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:24,360
Speaker 1: our lifetime that they need help. And yet they're abusing

137
00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:28,720
Speaker 1: American taxpayers. So we either let them continue to basically

138
00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:31,440
Speaker 1: rop from us, or we take a stand and say

139
00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:35,880
Speaker 1: your choice, free affair trade or reciprocal tariffs. I don't

140
00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:37,600
Speaker 1: think you can get any more fair than that. That's

141
00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:40,520
Speaker 1: not a complicated concept. You don't need to graduate from

142
00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:42,439
Speaker 1: Harvard or MIT to figure that out.

143
00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:45,719
Speaker 5: Yeah, but if you graduate from Harvard or m I

144
00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:50,959
Speaker 5: T or you go to Georgetown, basically you're becoming stupid

145
00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:54,240
Speaker 5: because you're learning all sorts of things that make no

146
00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:57,280
Speaker 5: sense in the real world. They only make sense if

147
00:08:57,320 --> 00:09:01,280
Speaker 5: you go to Harvard, Yale, or Georgetown. So absolutely, we

148
00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:05,640
Speaker 5: need to have reciprocal tariffs. We need to reindustrialize, and

149
00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:09,320
Speaker 5: let's not be intimidated by Wall Street or the Chinese

150
00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:12,439
Speaker 5: for that matter. You started by talking about the thirty

151
00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:15,920
Speaker 5: four percent terriffs that the Chinese imposed on us. Look,

152
00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:19,160
Speaker 5: they've got a smaller economy. Their economy is less than

153
00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:21,760
Speaker 5: two thirds the size of ours, and they're the trade

154
00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:26,360
Speaker 5: surplus country. Last year, China ran a merchandised trade surplus

155
00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:29,320
Speaker 5: against the United States of two hundred and ninety five

156
00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:33,400
Speaker 5: point four billion dollars. Trade surplus countries and trade wars

157
00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:37,920
Speaker 5: have no ammunition. President Trump will win this unless he's

158
00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:41,400
Speaker 5: intimidated by Wall Street, and I'm sure he will not be.

159
00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:46,080
Speaker 1: He talked about this when he gave a speech on Wednesday.

160
00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:48,240
Speaker 1: He said, there will be short term pain. We know

161
00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:52,000
Speaker 1: that Wall Street is notoriously skittish. We've witnessed it the

162
00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:52,959
Speaker 1: last two days.

163
00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:54,319
Speaker 4: Is it.

164
00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:56,600
Speaker 1: Is it a little bit of short term pain?

165
00:09:56,920 --> 00:09:57,120
Speaker 3: Yes?

166
00:09:57,200 --> 00:09:57,439
Speaker 4: It is.

167
00:09:57,559 --> 00:10:00,040
Speaker 1: Do I think it's going to reverse itself, probably a

168
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:01,720
Speaker 1: lot sooner than people are predicting.

169
00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:02,040
Speaker 6: I do.

170
00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:04,480
Speaker 1: Do I believe all these people, these naysayers, are going

171
00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:06,720
Speaker 1: to have egg on their face when the money starts

172
00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:09,440
Speaker 1: pouring in. Yes, I do do. I have a strong

173
00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:13,560
Speaker 1: faith that these countries desperately want access to American markets,

174
00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:17,920
Speaker 1: and the outcry from manufacturers abroad is going to be loud,

175
00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:20,440
Speaker 1: and those countries are going to be pressured into making

176
00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:24,200
Speaker 1: a free and fair trade deal with the US. That's

177
00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:26,319
Speaker 1: all going to happen. That's going to percolate up to

178
00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:29,959
Speaker 1: the surface, and America just has to for this interim

179
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:32,199
Speaker 1: period of time. I don't think it's going to be

180
00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:34,880
Speaker 1: longer than a week or two. Just suck it up.

181
00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:41,199
Speaker 1: Understand how markets work. This is institutional change, and it's

182
00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:43,599
Speaker 1: a little bit of a shock to the system. But

183
00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:47,960
Speaker 1: once people grow accustomed to the new way of doing things,

184
00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:49,760
Speaker 1: then they're going to see the benefits of.

185
00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:52,880
Speaker 5: It, absolutely, And I don't think the pain will be

186
00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:56,280
Speaker 5: as great as people say. If we go back to

187
00:10:56,360 --> 00:10:59,800
Speaker 5: President Trump's first round of tariffs on China in twenty eighteen,

188
00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:03,920
Speaker 5: China absorbed somewhere between seventy five to eighty one percent

189
00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:06,719
Speaker 5: of the cost of those tariffs. Although you had a

190
00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:09,040
Speaker 5: lot of smart people in New York and Washington just

191
00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:12,560
Speaker 5: wail about how there would be inflation with those twenty

192
00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:17,080
Speaker 5: eighteen tariffs, it didn't happen, Sean. And this time China

193
00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:21,440
Speaker 5: has even more incentive to absorb the President Trump's tariffs,

194
00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:25,199
Speaker 5: and they already are doing so from anecdotal information that

195
00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:29,360
Speaker 5: we are hearing from trade specialists. So I think, yes,

196
00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:32,360
Speaker 5: there will be pain, but this is necessary because we've

197
00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:35,920
Speaker 5: had decades of misguided trade policy. But the pain is

198
00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:39,080
Speaker 5: not going to be as bad as everyone thinks, because

199
00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:44,360
Speaker 5: everyone needs access to the world's best market and that's ours.

200
00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:47,880
Speaker 1: That's so well said. All right, quick break more with

201
00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:50,679
Speaker 1: Gordon Chang on the other side. Toll free number is

202
00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:52,480
Speaker 1: eight hundred and ninety four one. Sean if you want

203
00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:54,240
Speaker 1: to be a part of the program, continue now with

204
00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:57,920
Speaker 1: Gordon Shang, who is with us talking about China and

205
00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:01,400
Speaker 1: they want a tariff fight with the US. Fine, let's

206
00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:04,080
Speaker 1: say let's have the terrify. They need access to our

207
00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:07,240
Speaker 1: markets big time. You know, I've always said on this

208
00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:10,959
Speaker 1: program that the stock market is not my barometer in

209
00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:14,480
Speaker 1: terms of the health of the economy. Austin Goulsby even

210
00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:16,920
Speaker 1: said the economy is really strong right now. And he's

211
00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:23,079
Speaker 1: not exactly a supply side conservative in terms of his thinking.

212
00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:26,120
Speaker 1: He was used to be on the Council of Economic

213
00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:28,920
Speaker 1: Advisors for Barack Obama. For crying out loud, I've had

214
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:31,520
Speaker 1: many a fight with him over economic issues over the years.

215
00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:34,520
Speaker 1: I end up being right most of the time. But

216
00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:37,760
Speaker 1: he's actually a good guy with a great personality, and

217
00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:40,839
Speaker 1: he is not wrong this time when he says the

218
00:12:40,920 --> 00:12:43,280
Speaker 1: economies and the fundamentals of the economies are strong.

219
00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:43,480
Speaker 3: Now.

220
00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:46,400
Speaker 1: We do have economic news that came out today. Most

221
00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:49,800
Speaker 1: of it is very good and in case people are

222
00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:54,520
Speaker 1: watching or listening to this program, you know, first of all,

223
00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:58,280
Speaker 1: nobody was howling it with this feigned outrage when Joe

224
00:12:58,360 --> 00:13:02,559
Speaker 1: Biden Barack Obama imposed tariffs. Joe Biden imposed them on

225
00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:06,960
Speaker 1: Mexico and China and Russia and other countries. Obama did

226
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:09,640
Speaker 1: the same. Nobody's paying attention to the fact that oil

227
00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:12,920
Speaker 1: prices now have dropped to the lowest level since twenty

228
00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:16,719
Speaker 1: twenty one. Nobody's paying attention or seems to care that.

229
00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:20,120
Speaker 1: While the Democrats and the legacy media mob is screaming

230
00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:24,640
Speaker 1: about Wall Street that in their most recent survey, the

231
00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:28,079
Speaker 1: trade group pointed out that consumer spending is not unraveling.

232
00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:32,760
Speaker 1: The National Retail Federation reported two days ago that it

233
00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:36,040
Speaker 1: expects twenty twenty five retail sales the top five point

234
00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:39,599
Speaker 1: four trillion dollars growing anywhere between two point seven and

235
00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:42,800
Speaker 1: three point seven percent, well above what they sold in

236
00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:45,760
Speaker 1: twenty twenty four. Online sales can rise as much as

237
00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:49,599
Speaker 1: nine percent. The US economy added more jobs at a

238
00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:52,280
Speaker 1: faster pace in March. I would call that the Trump

239
00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:55,719
Speaker 1: effect and his policies even are not even in place yet.

240
00:13:56,040 --> 00:13:58,559
Speaker 1: So there's a lot of good economic news today, But

241
00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:02,920
Speaker 1: of course that doesn't you know, if it bleeds, it leads.

242
00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:05,559
Speaker 1: If it's negative, they want to and it's Trump involved,

243
00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:06,520
Speaker 1: they want to be negative.

244
00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:09,360
Speaker 5: One of the great things about the March job report

245
00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:13,280
Speaker 5: is that there was an increase in private sector jobs.

246
00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:16,240
Speaker 5: If you go back in the Biden administration, there were

247
00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:20,000
Speaker 5: increases in employment months a month, but those were government jobs.

248
00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:23,400
Speaker 5: And the last thing that we need is a larger government,

249
00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:27,160
Speaker 5: because the federal government is far too big for the

250
00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:31,040
Speaker 5: United States at this moment. President Trump is changing that.

251
00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:35,000
Speaker 5: It's going to be painful, but having private sector jobs

252
00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:38,040
Speaker 5: is the only path to endure in prosperity.

253
00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:41,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, no doubt about it anyway, Gordon saying, do you

254
00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:43,000
Speaker 1: really think that China's going to collapse?

255
00:14:43,520 --> 00:14:46,800
Speaker 5: I think that China right now is panicking because they're

256
00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:50,480
Speaker 5: only hope to rescue a grim situation. They're not growing,

257
00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:53,640
Speaker 5: They're probably at zero or below. Their only hope is

258
00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:57,120
Speaker 5: to export more to the United States, and that ain't happening.

259
00:14:57,360 --> 00:15:00,960
Speaker 5: So yes, I think that they're in real dire I've

260
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:04,560
Speaker 5: been wrong about timing, you know, But nonetheless we can

261
00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:07,600
Speaker 5: see it coming because the Chinese system is not sustainable.

262
00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:12,480
Speaker 5: It is only survived because we allow, through indulgent policies

263
00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:16,560
Speaker 5: to buy Chinese goods made under horrible conditions. You know,

264
00:15:16,760 --> 00:15:20,320
Speaker 5: I'm very glad you played that Nancy Pelosi clip. Because

265
00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:23,960
Speaker 5: she was right, then Bill Clinton was wrong. We should

266
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:26,440
Speaker 5: not have allowed China into the global trading system.

267
00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:29,160
Speaker 1: Appreciate you. Gordon Chang eight hundred and ninety four one

268
00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:31,960
Speaker 1: Shawn talking about being made in America. If there's one

269
00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:35,520
Speaker 1: thing that you need to own that's made in America,

270
00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:39,280
Speaker 1: I don't think the American flag is appropriate. You don't

271
00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:42,240
Speaker 1: really want to buy your American flag that's made in China. Anyway.

272
00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:46,960
Speaker 1: Every Allegiance flag is hand sewn by craftsmen and women

273
00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:51,200
Speaker 1: in Charleston, South Carolina. Every single component from the white

274
00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:54,240
Speaker 1: ash flagpole to the spinners to the mounts, they were

275
00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:56,760
Speaker 1: all sourced right here in America. So when you buy

276
00:15:56,800 --> 00:16:00,920
Speaker 1: an Allegiance flag, you're supporting American job, You're supporting an

277
00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:05,320
Speaker 1: American business. And the cool story is it's it's quintessentially American,

Speaker 1: Twenty five now until the top of the hour, eight

292
00:16:56,240 --> 00:16:58,480
Speaker 1: hundred and ninety four one, Shawn our number of this Friday.

293
00:16:58,520 --> 00:17:01,080
Speaker 1: If you want to be a part of the program,

294
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:05,399
Speaker 1: I will tip my hat to Congressional Republicans as they

295
00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:09,919
Speaker 1: now try to codify President Trump's maximum pressure campaign against

296
00:17:09,960 --> 00:17:15,040
Speaker 1: Iran with a ten bill legislative package that would sanction

297
00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:18,879
Speaker 1: the leadership in Tehran, the Mullas of Iran that's going

298
00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:21,639
Speaker 1: to cut off its access to cash, strangle the regime's

299
00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:25,800
Speaker 1: regional terror proxies. According to the Washington Free Beacon, the

300
00:17:25,920 --> 00:17:31,399
Speaker 1: toughest Iranian sanctions package ever proposed by Congress, according to

301
00:17:31,480 --> 00:17:35,440
Speaker 1: the Republican Study Committee, the House's largest GOP caucus, which

302
00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:38,800
Speaker 1: is leading the effort. So we'll see what happens. I

303
00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:41,200
Speaker 1: hope they do, and I'll tell you. Why, because you

304
00:17:41,280 --> 00:17:44,440
Speaker 1: have tens and tens of thousands of Israelis that have

305
00:17:44,560 --> 00:17:47,800
Speaker 1: been displaced, and if it were not for the International

306
00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:51,320
Speaker 1: Fellowship of Christians and Jews, we have proudly partnered with them.

307
00:17:51,680 --> 00:17:54,800
Speaker 1: They have been on the ground since day one on

308
00:17:54,920 --> 00:17:59,640
Speaker 1: October seventh, helping people with humanitarian assistants. Because of your

309
00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:04,359
Speaker 1: general it's been eighteen months. This country has been fighting

310
00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:09,280
Speaker 1: for its survival against radical Islamic terrorists eighteen months. And

311
00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:11,639

00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:20,359
Speaker 1: They provide these mobile bomb shelters, armed security vehicles, ambulances,

314
00:18:20,600 --> 00:18:24,680
Speaker 1: firefighting equipment, flack jackets, bulletproof vests, so much more. But

315
00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:27,800
Speaker 1: your generous donation is desperately needed to ensure that the

316
00:18:27,880 --> 00:18:31,760
Speaker 1: people of Israel are safe as they now fight for

317
00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:35,280
Speaker 1: their very existence. This is a real war against radical Islamis.

318
00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:38,679
Speaker 1: It's really like a seven front war that they've been battling. Anyway,

324
00:18:58,200 --> 00:19:01,840
Speaker 1: After Butler pa friend of the program. He's the editor

325
00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:05,840
Speaker 1: of Breitbart, John conn Uh. He also is a musical artist,

326
00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:09,800
Speaker 1: and he came up with the song. It became the

327
00:19:10,119 --> 00:19:14,840
Speaker 1: number one in every genre on every music chart. And

328
00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:16,840
Speaker 1: he has a new he has a new song I

329
00:19:16,920 --> 00:19:18,960
Speaker 1: will tell you about in a second. But the song

330
00:19:19,119 --> 00:19:22,280
Speaker 1: was called Fighter, and it went so viral that he

331
00:19:22,359 --> 00:19:24,359
Speaker 1: actually went on the road. Like Lee Greenwood was singing

332
00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:27,440
Speaker 1: God Bless the USA, he was singing Fighter at Trump

333
00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:31,240
Speaker 1: events throughout the campaign. And you know, I've said this

334
00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:35,040
Speaker 1: many times that I'm I'm in the communication business. I

335
00:19:35,160 --> 00:19:38,560
Speaker 1: do radio and I do television, but I don't think

336
00:19:38,560 --> 00:19:41,760
Speaker 1: it's the most powerful form of communication. I would argue

337
00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:46,040
Speaker 1: movies and music. You know, I don't make well, maybe Linda,

338
00:19:46,080 --> 00:19:48,720
Speaker 1: I might make you cry occasionally. I might make liberals

339
00:19:48,760 --> 00:19:53,000
Speaker 1: cry occasionally, but I don't make you cry. I don't

340
00:19:53,040 --> 00:19:55,200
Speaker 1: make I don't. I don't make I don't. I don't

341
00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:57,680
Speaker 1: make Linda cry. For the records, just for the records.

342
00:19:57,880 --> 00:20:00,359
Speaker 1: I'm like everything He's gonna be writing in like what's

343
00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:03,480
Speaker 1: going on Kennedy makes Linda Croye. If you're not can

344
00:20:03,560 --> 00:20:06,240
Speaker 1: hear that tomorrow? Like all right, it's gonna blow up

345
00:20:06,280 --> 00:20:09,280
Speaker 1: over the week out instead of people going to Hannity

346
00:20:09,359 --> 00:20:11,639
Speaker 1: dot com clicking on the Tesla contest and putting in

347
00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:13,639

Speaker 1: the eleventh. And I'll pick one lucky what we'll pick

350
00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:23,560
Speaker 1: one lucky winner. I won't pick it, and well I

351
00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:26,879
Speaker 1: will buy them at Tesla just to show solidarity with

352
00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:29,720
Speaker 1: a lawn. Anyway, our friend John con that song went

353
00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:32,240
Speaker 1: number one. He has a new song out about faith,

354
00:20:32,800 --> 00:20:38,400
Speaker 1: which has carried him through the anti Semitism, the Palisades fires,

355
00:20:38,520 --> 00:20:41,640
Speaker 1: the loss of his home. So, by the way, they've

356
00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:46,000
Speaker 1: allowed four building permits in the area around the Pacific

357
00:20:46,119 --> 00:20:47,760
Speaker 1: Palisades for people to rebuild.

358
00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:48,159
Speaker 3: That's it.

359
00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:50,320
Speaker 1: And I'm told by friends of mine out there that

360
00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:53,720
Speaker 1: big companies like Blackrock are coming in and buying massive,

361
00:20:54,359 --> 00:20:58,280
Speaker 1: you know, amounts of plots of land because people don't

362
00:20:58,320 --> 00:21:00,720
Speaker 1: want to rebuild and then lose in a fortune. And

363
00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:04,240
Speaker 1: they're all having problems with their insurance companies. It's terrible. Anyway,

364
00:21:04,600 --> 00:21:07,800
Speaker 1: he also experienced the loss of his home to the fires.

365
00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:11,560
Speaker 1: His mom passed away. And you know, out of pain

366
00:21:11,800 --> 00:21:15,040
Speaker 1: sometimes comes great artistry, and that's what I would say

367
00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:18,440
Speaker 1: comes out of this new song. It's called Fingerprints. I

368
00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:21,240
Speaker 1: get goosebumps just here in that I got my fingerprints

369
00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:25,920
Speaker 1: on you. Anyway, John con I have no idea why

370
00:21:26,080 --> 00:21:28,240
Speaker 1: the bright Bart editor. You should be on the road

371
00:21:28,600 --> 00:21:32,800
Speaker 1: bringing your music and inspiring people. It's really interesting to

372
00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:35,479
Speaker 1: me because Fighter I kind of look at as more

373
00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:39,639
Speaker 1: of a country song, and this song obviously is a

374
00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:44,040
Speaker 1: song of faith and called Fingerprints, and it reminds me

375
00:21:44,080 --> 00:21:46,280
Speaker 1: a lot. And these are my two favorite music genres,

376
00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:49,080
Speaker 1: which is why I'm bringing those up country and I

377
00:21:49,200 --> 00:21:51,960
Speaker 1: love Christian contemporary music. By the way, I urge everybody

378
00:21:51,960 --> 00:21:54,960
Speaker 1: if you want to see the defining concert watch twenty

379
00:21:55,119 --> 00:21:59,399
Speaker 1: eighteen Michael W. Smith Bridgestone Arena. You could pull it

380
00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:02,280
Speaker 1: up on YouTube. But first of all, it's great to

381
00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:05,439
Speaker 1: have you back, number one. Number two. I'm so sorry

382
00:22:05,640 --> 00:22:08,800
Speaker 1: you lost your home. I'm so sorry about the passing

383
00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:11,800
Speaker 1: of your mom. When I read your post quote, I've

384
00:22:11,880 --> 00:22:15,440
Speaker 1: experienced tremendous loss recently, but in these past few years

385
00:22:15,560 --> 00:22:20,040
Speaker 1: I found something even greater, something I never anticipated. Faith.

386
00:22:20,560 --> 00:22:23,159
Speaker 1: It's never too late, and I hope this song reaches

387
00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:27,040
Speaker 1: even just a few who might believe otherwise. Wow, I'm

388
00:22:27,119 --> 00:22:29,560
Speaker 1: so sorry. You know, we all go through pain in life.

389
00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:33,280
Speaker 1: We all take our hits, and life can be really painful.

390
00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:37,000
Speaker 1: And out of your pain, clearly your art comes through.

391
00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:39,840
Speaker 8: Well. Thanks for having me, Sean. You know what's interesting

392
00:22:39,840 --> 00:22:42,639
Speaker 8: about these two songs, Sean, is that they kind of

393
00:22:42,800 --> 00:22:47,840
Speaker 8: predated these really rough events that have happened. For example,

394
00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:51,600
Speaker 8: Fighter that I wrote for President Trump, that was written

395
00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:55,200
Speaker 8: before the assassination attempt, when everybody thoughts I had written

396
00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:57,520
Speaker 8: it in response, and then, by.

397
00:22:57,400 --> 00:22:59,760
Speaker 1: The way, count me among them. I thought that that's

398
00:22:59,760 --> 00:23:01,400
Speaker 1: a yeah.

399
00:23:01,560 --> 00:23:04,200
Speaker 8: And when so when he stood up and yelled fight, Fight, Fight,

400
00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:06,480
Speaker 8: you know, I got goosebumps all down my body because

401
00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:08,400
Speaker 8: you know, I wrote the song with a guy named

402
00:23:08,440 --> 00:23:08,880
Speaker 8: Chris Wong.

403
00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:10,080
Speaker 5: We had it ready to go.

404
00:23:10,160 --> 00:23:11,399
Speaker 8: I called him, I said, I think we need to

405
00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:15,040
Speaker 8: get this song out and Fingerprints, which was originally you

406
00:23:15,119 --> 00:23:17,080
Speaker 8: know I was. I didn't grow up with faith and

407
00:23:17,160 --> 00:23:19,639
Speaker 8: God in my family. I grew up in Godless La

408
00:23:19,760 --> 00:23:23,119
Speaker 8: which which you know about there and and just in

409
00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:25,639
Speaker 8: the past couple of years, I started exploring it and

410
00:23:26,359 --> 00:23:29,440
Speaker 8: Fingerprints was a musical exploration of that journey that I

411
00:23:29,600 --> 00:23:33,240
Speaker 8: was on. And after I wrote the song, of those

412
00:23:33,320 --> 00:23:35,680
Speaker 8: series of events that you mentioned happened, the loss of

413
00:23:35,760 --> 00:23:37,680
Speaker 8: my mom, I had a breakup with someone I was

414
00:23:37,760 --> 00:23:40,679
Speaker 8: living with. My dad fell and needed surgery, and then

415
00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:43,000
Speaker 8: my home burned down, and I still hadn't released the

416
00:23:43,119 --> 00:23:46,080
Speaker 8: song yet. And you know, once I got through the fires,

417
00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:48,040
Speaker 8: I thought to myself, you know, what better time to

418
00:23:48,119 --> 00:23:51,400
Speaker 8: release the song about faith than during a storm when

419
00:23:51,400 --> 00:23:54,320
Speaker 8: you're being tested. And that's why I released it just recently.

420
00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:58,000
Speaker 1: How come people get these songs because and I would

421
00:23:58,160 --> 00:24:03,280
Speaker 1: assume you would go to your favorite know either what, Spotify, iTunes.

422
00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:05,840
Speaker 1: I don't even know all the places to go because

423
00:24:05,880 --> 00:24:08,600
Speaker 1: I have my kids do it for me. Literally, they

424
00:24:08,680 --> 00:24:10,520
Speaker 1: take my phone. They're like, Dad, i'll do it. I'll

425
00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:11,440
Speaker 1: do it. You're too slow.

426
00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:15,000
Speaker 8: So right, well, there are all the streamers on iTunes

427
00:24:15,040 --> 00:24:20,280
Speaker 8: and Amazon, Spotify, and it's just Google or search John

428
00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:23,560
Speaker 8: con jln Kahn and you can find them or find

429
00:24:23,600 --> 00:24:27,120
Speaker 8: me on Instagram. Their links there. And I really appreciate

430
00:24:27,119 --> 00:24:27,520
Speaker 8: you having.

431
00:24:27,440 --> 00:24:27,960
Speaker 9: Me on Sehn.

432
00:24:28,160 --> 00:24:30,719
Speaker 1: Well, I'm just going to say to people, all of us,

433
00:24:31,440 --> 00:24:36,520
Speaker 1: and this transcends race, this transcends gender, this transcends you know,

434
00:24:36,680 --> 00:24:38,720
Speaker 1: whether you have money or you don't have money. Because

435
00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:41,520
Speaker 1: I've lived poor and now I'm a lot better off

436
00:24:41,600 --> 00:24:45,600
Speaker 1: than I was, it doesn't matter. Everyone has their atom

437
00:24:45,720 --> 00:24:48,840
Speaker 1: shift to deal with in this life, and life can

438
00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:51,800
Speaker 1: be hard. And for me, I go to the same

439
00:24:51,840 --> 00:24:54,119
Speaker 1: place you now go to, and that's to my faith,

440
00:24:54,359 --> 00:24:56,920
Speaker 1: that's to my belief in God. And you know, people

441
00:24:56,960 --> 00:24:58,920
Speaker 1: ask me all the time, why do you think you're successful.

442
00:24:58,960 --> 00:25:01,239
Speaker 1: I said, well, I work hard, but really the other

443
00:25:01,359 --> 00:25:05,480
Speaker 1: reason is I've been blessed by God. I really believe that.

444
00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:11,440
Speaker 1: And so yeah, I hope people will download it's it's

00:26:02,080 --> 00:26:06,280
Speaker 6: a tenured he's well known in his field. He's published.

466
00:26:06,760 --> 00:26:08,680
Speaker 6: And when he found out that I voted for Trump,

467
00:26:08,840 --> 00:26:10,639
Speaker 6: he refused to be the best man in my wedding

468
00:26:11,040 --> 00:26:13,119
Speaker 6: and also to attend my wedding. And it took my

469
00:26:13,480 --> 00:26:16,879
Speaker 6: elderly mother begging him to attend the wedding and he

470
00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:19,280
Speaker 6: finally did. But things have never been the same since then.

471
00:26:19,400 --> 00:26:23,320
Speaker 6: He just has this emotional reaction and it's just it's

472
00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:26,280
Speaker 6: sad how these people, some people are reacting like that.

473
00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:28,639
Speaker 1: Well he could you know, some people get educated, and

474
00:26:28,840 --> 00:26:31,080
Speaker 1: he might be highly educated, but they get you know,

475
00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:33,960
Speaker 1: educated at all the common sense that they were born with.

476
00:26:34,160 --> 00:26:36,159
Speaker 1: All right, there are really two choices here for you,

477
00:26:36,680 --> 00:26:38,960
Speaker 1: and I have a preference of the two, but I'll

478
00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:42,080
Speaker 1: give you both. One is to not give an Adam schiff,

479
00:26:42,240 --> 00:26:44,880
Speaker 1: and this is his decision. You move on with your life.

480
00:26:45,080 --> 00:26:48,159
Speaker 1: You don't try to make contact with your brother. This

481
00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:51,639
Speaker 1: is on him, it's not on you. Your conscience is clear. Okay,

482
00:26:51,840 --> 00:26:55,240
Speaker 1: that's option one. Option two, which would be my preferred option,

483
00:26:55,560 --> 00:26:58,440
Speaker 1: would be stay in touch with your brother. Make sure

484
00:26:58,520 --> 00:27:01,920
Speaker 1: you make it very very clear to him that you

485
00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:04,960
Speaker 1: don't want politics to separate the two of you, that

486
00:27:05,040 --> 00:27:07,560
Speaker 1: you would agree not to talk politics with him if

487
00:27:07,600 --> 00:27:09,800
Speaker 1: that would make him feel better and wouldn't trigger his

488
00:27:10,480 --> 00:27:13,960
Speaker 1: his woke little you know backside. And you don't have

489
00:27:14,040 --> 00:27:15,720
Speaker 1: to say it that way, but say it in a

490
00:27:15,840 --> 00:27:20,040
Speaker 1: nice way, and that you're my brother. I want a

491
00:27:20,119 --> 00:27:23,840
Speaker 1: relationship with you. My door is always open. I'll check

492
00:27:23,880 --> 00:27:27,320
Speaker 1: in with you frequently, and I hope you change your

493
00:27:27,359 --> 00:27:32,040
Speaker 1: mind and just be very loving about it and don't

494
00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:34,400
Speaker 1: give up on your brother, and hope that it works

495
00:27:34,440 --> 00:27:36,840
Speaker 1: out one day. You know it looks there sometimes it

496
00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:39,800
Speaker 1: just here's just the reality. It doesn't matter if you're

497
00:27:39,800 --> 00:27:41,680
Speaker 1: a family member or not a family member. There's some

498
00:27:41,760 --> 00:27:43,919
Speaker 1: people in life you don't get along with. And then

499
00:27:43,960 --> 00:27:45,920
Speaker 1: there's the Christian side of me that says, you know what,

500
00:27:46,440 --> 00:27:49,600
Speaker 1: you know, pray for your brother and keep preaching out

501
00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:53,840
Speaker 1: to him and just just love him, even though he

502
00:27:54,359 --> 00:27:57,080
Speaker 1: doesn't obviously have the capacity at this moment and his

503
00:27:57,200 --> 00:28:00,639
Speaker 1: life to love you back. Which one do you think

504
00:28:00,680 --> 00:28:01,240
Speaker 1: you're going to go with?

505
00:28:02,040 --> 00:28:05,119
Speaker 3: I'm trying to go the more Christian side, but.

506
00:28:06,240 --> 00:28:07,800
Speaker 1: It's a good you made the right You're not going

507
00:28:07,840 --> 00:28:08,760
Speaker 1: to regret that choice.

508
00:28:08,920 --> 00:28:12,679
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's just sad how these people have this emotional reaction,

509
00:28:13,520 --> 00:28:14,760
Speaker 6: and there is just sad.

510
00:28:14,800 --> 00:28:16,520
Speaker 3: He's my brother and he reacted that way.

511
00:28:16,640 --> 00:28:18,880
Speaker 6: Kind of makes me think back to the stories during

512
00:28:18,880 --> 00:28:20,879
Speaker 6: the Civil War era, where you know, brothers were fighting

513
00:28:20,920 --> 00:28:21,560
Speaker 6: against brothers.

514
00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:24,240
Speaker 3: I mean, this isn't quite that extreme, but it's just

515
00:28:24,800 --> 00:28:25,640
Speaker 3: it's just it's bad.

516
00:28:25,760 --> 00:28:28,000
Speaker 1: Let me ask you a question. Did somebody else become

517
00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:28,600
Speaker 1: your best man?

518
00:28:28,840 --> 00:28:29,000
Speaker 3: Yes?

519
00:28:29,280 --> 00:28:31,440
Speaker 1: Is it somebody that you know you love and loves

520
00:28:31,480 --> 00:28:32,760
Speaker 1: your back, cares about you.

521
00:28:33,080 --> 00:28:33,280
Speaker 6: Yeah?

522
00:28:33,400 --> 00:28:33,600
Speaker 5: Yeah.

523
00:28:33,720 --> 00:28:37,120
Speaker 6: And then after I had him be the best man,

524
00:28:37,280 --> 00:28:39,680
Speaker 6: my mom talked to my brother into attending and he

525
00:28:39,720 --> 00:28:42,040
Speaker 6: did attend, and he was one of the grooms men.

526
00:28:42,480 --> 00:28:44,880
Speaker 3: But it was just kind of very awkward, and yes

527
00:28:44,960 --> 00:28:45,160
Speaker 3: it is.

528
00:28:45,800 --> 00:28:47,960
Speaker 1: I feel sorry for you, you know. I mean, you

529
00:28:48,040 --> 00:28:49,920
Speaker 1: want your brother to be a best man. He turns

530
00:28:49,960 --> 00:28:52,400
Speaker 1: you down. That's kind of a little bit of a blow.

531
00:28:52,600 --> 00:28:55,320
Speaker 1: But you're tougher than that. Uh, we'll pray for your brother.

532
00:28:55,440 --> 00:28:56,960
Speaker 1: Hopefully he has a change your heart.

533
00:28:57,080 --> 00:28:59,320
Speaker 3: Hi baby Trump, Trumper writer or die, thank you.

534
00:28:59,560 --> 00:29:01,880
Speaker 1: Let me tell no one's going to pressure me out

535
00:29:01,920 --> 00:29:04,280
Speaker 1: of the politics I believe in. And you know that

536
00:29:04,360 --> 00:29:05,840
Speaker 1: was one of the reasons I left New York. I

537
00:29:05,960 --> 00:29:08,560
Speaker 1: was hated. Now, Linda would give you very different advice.

538
00:29:08,600 --> 00:29:10,640
Speaker 1: Your advice would be tell them the f off, wouldn't

539
00:29:10,640 --> 00:29:10,800
Speaker 1: it be?

540
00:29:11,120 --> 00:29:11,320
Speaker 5: Sure?

541
00:29:11,360 --> 00:29:11,960
Speaker 7: Would I have.

542
00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:14,440
Speaker 9: Family members I don't talk to anymore because they decided

543
00:29:14,480 --> 00:29:16,360
Speaker 9: not to like me for my conservative beliefs.

544
00:29:16,800 --> 00:29:19,640
Speaker 1: I love to have a conversation. So you know, because

545
00:29:19,640 --> 00:29:21,800
Speaker 1: you associate with me too, they're not worth your time.

546
00:29:21,960 --> 00:29:22,160
Speaker 8: Huh.

547
00:29:22,440 --> 00:29:24,920
Speaker 1: How many people don't like you because you associate with me?

548
00:29:27,280 --> 00:29:27,440
Speaker 5: You know?

549
00:29:27,680 --> 00:29:31,360
Speaker 9: It's funny. That's actually gotten less. It's more just about

550
00:29:31,840 --> 00:29:34,680
Speaker 9: I'm not even kidding you. I think the overwhelming disgust

551
00:29:34,840 --> 00:29:37,959
Speaker 9: for Trump without you know, pun intendent kind of Trump's

552
00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:40,160
Speaker 9: the hate of everything else. Right, It's like, oh, you

553
00:29:40,360 --> 00:29:40,800
Speaker 9: like Trump?

554
00:29:41,440 --> 00:29:44,920
Speaker 1: You know we hate you. It's obscene. That was my

555
00:29:45,080 --> 00:29:47,520
Speaker 1: life in New York, which is so different from my

556
00:29:47,640 --> 00:29:50,120
Speaker 1: life today in the Free State of Florida. But I

557
00:29:50,160 --> 00:29:51,800
Speaker 1: ever mentioned I live in the Free State of Florida.

558
00:29:52,440 --> 00:29:53,840
Speaker 1: I think I mentioned it once or twice.

559
00:29:54,000 --> 00:29:57,040
Speaker 9: I had no idea we should hit the breaking news sounder, bro.

560

Speaker 1: I know, breaking news amazing now, it is amazing how
