They are, you know, 47 00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:02,520 Speaker 1: all four of us together are now really coming together 48 00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:05,000 Speaker 1: as a team as an Avengers to make sure that 49 00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:07,160 Speaker 1: there's five days a week of coverage. You guys saw 50 00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:09,200 Speaker 1: the bro Show yesterday, the mix in the match and 51 00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:12,040 Speaker 1: all of that is enabled because of you to be 52 00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:14,280 Speaker 1: able to provide that we are going to be going 53 00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:17,040 Speaker 1: live on a lot more occasions, and so we do 54 00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:19,560 Speaker 1: have the AMA live there in our show bar. That 55 00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:22,360 Speaker 1: is something that we do after today's show that we 56 00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:25,320 Speaker 1: will wrap. I will have, by the way, a surprise announcement, 57 00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:28,959 Speaker 1: just a personal announcement that will drop exclusively in our 58 00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:32,639 Speaker 1: AMA and for our premium subscribers early. But more importantly, 59 00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:35,760 Speaker 1: this is just about being able to find five days 60 00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:39,480 Speaker 1: a week, more opportunities for lives. We're building more opportunities 61 00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:43,519 Speaker 1: to get the breaking points, community actually engaged, utilizing our platform, 62 00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:46,760 Speaker 1: be able to deliver the show in any possible way 63 00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:49,520 Speaker 1: that we can, and so broadly, this is just about 64 00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:51,760 Speaker 1: taking a risk at this time when we know that 65 00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:54,840 Speaker 1: as financial precarity for all of you and also frankly 66 00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:57,359 Speaker 1: for us, but we do still feel that it's really 67 00:02:57,400 --> 00:02:59,960 Speaker 1: really important to try and to take this risk right now, 68 00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:02,760 Speaker 1: and so that's just something if you could help us 69 00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:06,200 Speaker 1: out Breakingpoints dot com as I mentioned. But just finally, 70 00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:08,799 Speaker 1: and this is very important because as I just acknowledge 71 00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:11,200 Speaker 1: that there's a lot of uncertainty right now for our 72 00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:13,720 Speaker 1: free audience. For the people who watch the show free 73 00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:16,600 Speaker 1: or who listen right now on Spotify, you are just 74 00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:18,919 Speaker 1: as valuable to us. The way that you can help 75 00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:21,800 Speaker 1: us if you cannot afford it is to like the show, 76 00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:25,080 Speaker 1: to subscribe, to hit the subscribe button on YouTube, subscribe 77 00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:28,280 Speaker 1: or follow on Spotify and or Apple. And more importantly, 78 00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:30,960 Speaker 1: if you're a podcast listener, take an episode that you 79 00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:33,520 Speaker 1: really like and share it with a friend and or 80 00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:36,360 Speaker 1: a family. That is the single best and most important 81 00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:38,600 Speaker 1: way as a free person that you could be able 82 00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:41,640 Speaker 1: to help us out as a show. It's word of mouth. No, 83 00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:45,000 Speaker 1: not one dollar of advertising has ever been spent on 84 00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:47,640 Speaker 1: this show, which is remarkable, honestly, and you look back 85 00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:50,040 Speaker 1: at our future coming up on four years here. To 86 00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:52,760 Speaker 1: be able to grow to almost one point four million subscribers, 87 00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:55,200 Speaker 1: it's incredible, to hundreds of thousands of downloads and things 88 00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:58,280 Speaker 1: that we see on the podcast platform. It is because 89 00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:00,680 Speaker 1: of all the people who do also engage for a 90 00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:02,640 Speaker 1: free basis, And if that's all you can do for us, 91 00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:04,880 Speaker 1: it's totally fine.

Excited about what is to come for 95 00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:16,320 Speaker 2: the year for breaking points, and I really enjoy that Friday. 96 00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:17,479 Speaker 3: Shows like the Friday Show. 97 00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:18,320 Speaker 1: I like it too, It's fun. 98 00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:21,400 Speaker 2: It would be with the pace of news, the Monday 99 00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:22,920 Speaker 2: show would be just unmanageable. 100 00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:25,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, it would just pretty late, and it would be edited. 101 00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:27,040 Speaker 1: And yeah, I mean originally. 102 00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:27,520 Speaker 3: It's a Monday. 103 00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:29,800 Speaker 2: All the stuff that happened on Friday, it's like old 104 00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:31,880 Speaker 2: news because thirty five other major things. 105 00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:34,520 Speaker 1: Have happened, So it is inconceivable. And mean when we launched, 106 00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:36,800 Speaker 1: you know, just penciling budget and all of that, we 107 00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:38,559 Speaker 1: were looking at three days and we're like, oh, maybe 108 00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:39,919 Speaker 1: we can make this work. And so to be in 109 00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:42,280 Speaker 1: a position where we have you know, not just us, 110 00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:44,080 Speaker 1: it's not even just about the four people you guys 111 00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:45,640 Speaker 1: see in front of the camera. There's a whole team 112 00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:47,800 Speaker 1: of people in the room back over there making sure 113 00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:50,599 Speaker 1: this stuff gets cranked out on you know, it's edited. 114 00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:53,960 Speaker 1: We have entire novel processes that we've actually developed. You know, 115 00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:58,240 Speaker 1: I've spoken with many creators and they are blown away 116 00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:00,800 Speaker 1: by our timeline and the team that we have assembled 117 00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:03,560 Speaker 1: that is able to export a show, deliver it across 118 00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:06,160 Speaker 1: multiple different platforms, and do all of these things. I 119 00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:09,279 Speaker 1: mean they're working on a weekly editing basis. Our guys 120 00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:11,640 Speaker 1: can turn it around in sometimes twenty two minutes. Yeah, 121 00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:15,039 Speaker 1: very often they're editing things on the fly. It's incredible. 122 00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:17,280 Speaker 1: And again it's literally all because of the people who 123 00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:19,120 Speaker 1: sign up.

Yeah, 128 00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:27,960 Speaker 1: for the thousands of dollars where we have spent on 129 00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:30,080 Speaker 1: equipment and all these other things, state of the art 130 00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:32,640 Speaker 1: stuff that is running back there, and anything late is 131 00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:35,000 Speaker 1: because of our because of us. It is absolutely not 132 00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:35,880 Speaker 1: because of them. 133 00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:38,599 Speaker 2: All right, So let me run quickly through the show 134 00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:41,400 Speaker 2: bar here. We had Bkelly at the White House yesterday, 135 00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:44,440 Speaker 2: Trump announcing that he wants to send US citizens now 136 00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:47,799 Speaker 2: to Bekelly's torture Dungeons. So we'll talk about that. Trump 137 00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:51,279 Speaker 2: approval rating is down. We've got the latest numbers. He 138 00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:54,600 Speaker 2: has announced he maybe backing off some of the auto terrifts. 139 00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:57,320 Speaker 2: At the same time, we're getting new retaligation from China. 140 00:05:57,360 --> 00:06:00,280 Speaker 2: They've halted all Boeing orders. Dave Smith is going to 141 00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:02,400 Speaker 2: join us. Don't know if you guys checked out any 142 00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:05,800 Speaker 2: of his debate with Douglas Murray on Joe Rogan's podcast. 143 00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:07,440 Speaker 2: Going to get his reaction to that and some other 144 00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:10,160 Speaker 2: things as well, especially some of the crackdown on any 145 00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:13,599 Speaker 2: dissent visa. The israel I am taking a look at 146 00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:15,719 Speaker 2: Trump's tariff war as class war. 147 00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:17,359 Speaker 3: Sager, what should I say about your model? 148 00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:19,600 Speaker 1: I just say it's a surprise. It's a surprise for 149 00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:22,360 Speaker 1: everybody who's there just book recommendations. That's on joke, caamjo. 150 00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:25,160 Speaker 1: There's something there that I'll you can find out if 151 00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:26,360 Speaker 1: you become a premium subscriber. 152 00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:29,160 Speaker 2: You will find out eventually whether you're a premium subscriber 153 00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:31,680 Speaker 2: or not. But previous subscribers in that AMA Live will 154 00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:34,640 Speaker 2: give you the sneak peek. Okay, let's go ahead and 155 00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:38,360 Speaker 2: get to the Oval Office. Yesterday, President of al Salvador 156 00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:42,039 Speaker 2: Naiba Kelly was in town. Obviously, this was very significant 157 00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:45,680 Speaker 2: for a number of reasons. This administration has sent somewhere 158 00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:48,040 Speaker 2: around at this point, about two hundred and fifty migrants 159 00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:51,320 Speaker 2: into that prison. We now know that approximately ninety percent 160 00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:53,920 Speaker 2: of them, in spite of being told that they were 161 00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:56,200 Speaker 2: gang members, and the worst of the worst, ninety percent 162 00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:57,960 Speaker 2: have no criminal record. We have learned some of the 163 00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:02,159 Speaker 2: details of those individuals, and one of those individuals, in particular, 164 00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:06,680 Speaker 2: Kilmar Abrego Garcia, the administration admitted that they sent him 165 00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:09,880 Speaker 2: there in air. The Supreme Court then came in and said, 166 00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:11,560 Speaker 2: you got to try to get this guy back. You 167 00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:15,920 Speaker 2: have to facilitate his release. They are just completely stonewalling. 168 00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:19,080 Speaker 2: They're pretending like the Supreme Court actually sided with them 169 00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:21,680 Speaker 2: and said they don't have to do anything. So a 170 00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:24,720 Speaker 2: lot of questions about what the response from Bkelly would be, 171 00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:27,720 Speaker 2: how Trump would interact with him, et cetera. But before 172 00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:30,800 Speaker 2: any of that occurred, the two of them, Trump and 173 00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:34,200 Speaker 2: Bkelly were actually caught on a hot mic with Trump, 174 00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:37,560 Speaker 2: and you have to listen carefully, but Trump telling Bukelly 175 00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:40,040 Speaker 2: that next he wants to send to his prisons the 176 00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:44,000 Speaker 2: quote unquote homegrowns and that bikelly may. 177 00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:45,800 Speaker 3: Need to build five more of those. 178 00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:50,200 Speaker 2: Facilities to house the US citizens that Trump now wants 179 00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:54,240 Speaker 2: to send to that notorious Seacott facility. Let's take a 180 00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:55,320 Speaker 2: listen to how that went down. 181 00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:02,800 Speaker 3: Yeah, they stood growing next the home runs. 182 00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:04,760 Speaker 4: You get a book about five more places. 183 00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:11,760 Speaker 3: Yeah that's great, all right, it's not big enough. Yeah, 184 00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:15,320 Speaker 3: come on, And it wasn't only in this hot mic moment. 185 00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:18,800 Speaker 3: Apparently the El Salvador press was there, but the whole 186 00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:19,400 Speaker 3: pool wasn't it. 187 00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:21,840 Speaker 2: I don't know where that stream came from, but they 188 00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:23,680 Speaker 2: were streaming that live and obviously we are. 189 00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:25,560 Speaker 1: It was the El Salvadoran government. It wasn't even in 190 00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:28,040 Speaker 1: Salvador in media. Now, why exactly? Elso, if we're in 191 00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:30,480 Speaker 1: government is allowed to live stream straight from the Oval Office, 192 00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:33,240 Speaker 1: that's beyond me. That's probably the tertiary amount of concerns 193 00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:37,120 Speaker 1: as well as mister outfit that was happening. You're you're 194 00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:40,079 Speaker 1: absolutely right. There were a number of comments made there 195 00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:42,920 Speaker 1: by President Trump in the Oval Office very defiant on 196 00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:46,600 Speaker 1: the Upbrego Garcia case, as well as proposing on multiple 197 00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:50,359 Speaker 1: occasions sending US citizens to this prison let's take a listen. 198 00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:52,440 Speaker 2: And sup you said that if the Supreme Court said 199 00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:54,520 Speaker 2: someone needed to be returned, that you would abide by that. 200 00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:55,959 Speaker 2: You said that on Air Force one just a few 201 00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:59,199 Speaker 2: days ago, and they said that it must be facilitating. 202 00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:02,920 Speaker 2: And you just say, isn't it wonderful that we're keeping 203 00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:04,360 Speaker 2: criminals out of our country? 204 00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:06,839 Speaker 1: Why can't you just say that? Why do you go 205 00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:10,079 Speaker 1: over and over and that's why nobody watches you anymore? 206 00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:11,559 Speaker 1: You know you have no credibility. 207 00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:13,760 Speaker 4: Please go ahead, promise you if he was your neighbor, 208 00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:15,720 Speaker 4: you wouldn't move right away, So you don't plan the 209 00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:16,480 Speaker 4: Supreme Court. 210 00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:21,720 Speaker 3: In the Supreme Court, siave, was it nine to nothing? 211 00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:24,839 Speaker 4: Yes, there's a ninety zero in our favor. In our 212 00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:28,120 Speaker 4: favor against the district court ruling saying that no district 213 00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:30,840 Speaker 4: court has the power to compel the foreign policy function 214 00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:34,200 Speaker 4: of the United States. As Pam said, the ruling solely 215 00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:37,600 Speaker 4: stated that if this individual at El salvad Or sole 216 00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:40,800 Speaker 4: discretion was set back to our country, that we could 217 00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:41,800 Speaker 4: deport him a second time. 218 00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:45,320 Speaker 5: How can I model the terrorists into the United States. 219 00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:47,280 Speaker 3: I don't have the power to return him to the 220 00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:48,000 Speaker 3: United States. 221 00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:50,520 Speaker 5: So you can release the inside. Yeah, but I'm not 222 00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:53,199 Speaker 5: releasing I mean, we're not very fond of releasing terrorists 223 00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:53,920 Speaker 5: into our country. 224 00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:55,880 Speaker 3: We just turned the murder capital of the world to 225 00:09:55,960 --> 00:09:58,000 Speaker 3: the safest country of the Western Hemisphere. 226 00:09:57,600 --> 00:10:00,400 Speaker 1: And you want us to go back into the releasing 227 00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:02,319 Speaker 1: criminals so we can go back to being the murdered 228 00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:03,040 Speaker 1: capital of the world. 229 00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:04,160 Speaker 3: Now that's that's not going to be. 230 00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:07,040 Speaker 4: Well, they'd love to have a criminal you know. 231 00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:09,840 Speaker 3: I mean, I mean, there's a fascination. 232 00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:10,480 Speaker 4: They would love it. 233 00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:14,839 Speaker 2: Yeah, they're great facilities, very strong facilities, and. 234 00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:17,640 Speaker 6: They don't play games. 235 00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:19,760 Speaker 1: I'd like to go step further. 236 00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:21,680 Speaker 4: I mean, I say, I said it to Pam. 237 00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:23,360 Speaker 2: I don't know what the laws are. We always have 238 00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:26,920 Speaker 2: to obey the laws, but we also have homegrown criminals 239 00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:28,439 Speaker 2: that push people into subways. 240 00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:30,640 Speaker 3: I'd like to include them in the group of people 241 00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:31,880 Speaker 3: to get them out of the country. 242 00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:34,560 Speaker 1: So you can see they're not only doubling down. But 243 00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:38,439 Speaker 1: the most significant comment made from bu Kelly was saying, quote, 244 00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:39,920 Speaker 1: I don't what did he say. I don't have the 245 00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:43,199 Speaker 1: power to bring back a Breago Garcia. This is where 246 00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:46,440 Speaker 1: it is obviously preposterous. Bu Kelly is getting paid six 247 00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:50,160 Speaker 1: million dollars from the United States government. Furthermore, he has literal, 248 00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:53,480 Speaker 1: unilatal authority over who goes in and out of Seacotts, 249 00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:56,040 Speaker 1: so he actually could release him if he could. And 250 00:10:56,080 --> 00:10:58,560 Speaker 1: this is one where the government and Stephen Miller is 251 00:10:58,559 --> 00:11:01,720 Speaker 1: saying there, oh, it was. I mean, he is correct 252 00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:05,480 Speaker 1: in that it's nine to oh by saying it is 253 00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:08,120 Speaker 1: nine oh in not ordering it in the same way 254 00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:10,280 Speaker 1: the district judge said, you have to go get him back, 255 00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:14,280 Speaker 1: but it was very clear about the facilitation of return 256 00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:17,360 Speaker 1: and what was it turned it over to the district court, 257 00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:22,040 Speaker 1: where there continues to be adjudication over specifically the lengths 258 00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:25,800 Speaker 1: and the process through which the United States must return 259 00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:29,520 Speaker 1: our Brego Garcia. It is clear cut, it is beyond obvious. 260 00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:33,400 Speaker 1: You know, the state, the state admitted in its court 261 00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:36,800 Speaker 1: filing a Brago Garcia should not have been sent to 262 00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:40,080 Speaker 1: El Salvador, period, end of story. We can talk all 263 00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:44,040 Speaker 1: day long about the hold on the deportation order, et cetera, 264 00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:47,520 Speaker 1: but it is clear as day he had to hold 265 00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:51,839 Speaker 1: for deportation. He was sent there by their own admission. 266 00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:55,280 Speaker 1: It was a quote unquote mistake. The Stephen Miller has 267 00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:58,839 Speaker 1: now claimed that it was an actual mistake to admit 268 00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:00,959 Speaker 1: that it was a mistake, and that is not true. 269 00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:04,480 Speaker 1: That fired solicitor general who said that in court filing. 270 00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:08,240 Speaker 1: Apparently I was actually reading from a legal expert that 271 00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:11,360 Speaker 1: he has a decent enough case for defamation actually against 272 00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:14,280 Speaker 1: the government because they're claiming that he basically lied in 273 00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:14,959 Speaker 1: a court filing. 274 00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:19,959 Speaker 2: Johnathan Turley, who is a Republican Trump sympathetic Fox News 275 00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:22,320 Speaker 2: kind of a guy, who was like, he's got a 276 00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:25,319 Speaker 2: case for defamation. Yeah, the dude that they fired because 277 00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:27,680 Speaker 2: he admitted in court that this was a mistake, which 278 00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:30,400 Speaker 2: also wasn't just admitted in court. It also, Asager said, 279 00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:32,960 Speaker 2: was part of this court filing. He's been there for 280 00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:36,160 Speaker 2: fifteen years. He served in the same or similar role 281 00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:37,839 Speaker 2: under the first Trump administration. 282 00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:39,360 Speaker 3: You know, he has been a. 283 00:12:39,559 --> 00:12:44,760 Speaker 2: Reliable advocate for whatever the government's position has been. So yeah, 284 00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:49,080 Speaker 2: Stephen Miller called him a saboteur and a democrat if 285 00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:52,199 Speaker 2: he was in there intentionally trying to blow up this case. 286 00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:54,920 Speaker 2: I just want to read for everybody because what Stephen 287 00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:56,959 Speaker 2: Miller is portraying here and were publicans are trying to 288 00:12:56,960 --> 00:12:59,880 Speaker 2: portray the Supreme Court decision as is just total and 289 00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:05,480 Speaker 2: complete garbage. Let me read to you the specific language 290 00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:08,920 Speaker 2: of this order that came down from the Supreme Court. 291 00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:12,680 Speaker 2: They say the rest of the District Court's order remains 292 00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:16,480 Speaker 2: in effect, but requires clarification. That's what they're holding their 293 00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:19,760 Speaker 2: whole thing on, is this line that requires clarification. The 294 00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:24,640 Speaker 2: order properly requires the government to facilitate Abario Garcia is 295 00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:27,400 Speaker 2: released from custody in El Salvador and to ensure that 296 00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:30,079 Speaker 2: his case is handled as it would have been had 297 00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:33,400 Speaker 2: he not been improperly sent to El Salvador. The intended 298 00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:36,560 Speaker 2: scope of the term effectuate in the District's court order 299 00:13:36,640 --> 00:13:40,440 Speaker 2: is however, unclear and may exceed the District Court's authority. 300 00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:43,800 Speaker 2: The District Court should clarify its directive with due regard 301 00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:45,880 Speaker 2: for the deference owed to the Executive branch in the 302 00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:49,760 Speaker 2: conduct of foreign affairs. So they didn't even say don't 303 00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:51,920 Speaker 2: effectuate or that was wrong, and they're saying we want 304 00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:54,920 Speaker 2: some clarification from the District Court here, But they said 305 00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:59,760 Speaker 2: incredibly clearly that they need the government needs to facilitate 306 00:13:59,840 --> 00:14:02,320 Speaker 2: the release, and they also tell the government that it 307 00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:04,520 Speaker 2: needs to be prepared to share what it can concerning 308 00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:07,240 Speaker 2: the steps it has taken and the prospect of further steps. 309 00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:11,080 Speaker 2: The government has completely stonewalled here. They're lying about what 310 00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:13,560 Speaker 2: the order actually said, and just think about it, like 311 00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:15,360 Speaker 2: taking the legalies out of it from. 312 00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:17,839 Speaker 3: A human perspective. If you fuck up, you try to 313 00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:18,200 Speaker 3: fix it. 314 00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:23,320 Speaker 2: This is a fuck up of massive life altered proportions. 315 00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:25,720 Speaker 2: We have no idea at this point what the condition 316 00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:28,080 Speaker 2: of this man is. He's been sent into this prison 317 00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:31,040 Speaker 2: known for human rights abuses, for withholding food. 318 00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:33,040 Speaker 3: We know that an extraordinary number. 319 00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:35,400 Speaker 2: Of detainees there have actually died while they're in custody. 320 00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:39,480 Speaker 2: This is a horrible place to be that he has 321 00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:42,320 Speaker 2: been wrongly sent to, and not just him, by the 322 00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:46,000 Speaker 2: way of the two hundred and thirty original immigrants who 323 00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:48,600 Speaker 2: were sent there, as I mentioned, ninety percent no criminal record, 324 00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:51,200 Speaker 2: five had felony arrest records. 325 00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:54,720 Speaker 3: Five and we're told these were the worst of the worst. 326 00:14:55,200 --> 00:14:58,840 Speaker 2: So on top of all of that, what we've been 327 00:14:58,880 --> 00:15:01,920 Speaker 2: warning about is, hey, if you can throw these people 328 00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:06,000 Speaker 2: into this dungeon for life with no due process. This 329 00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:08,600 Speaker 2: isn't just about what they can do to immigrants. This 330 00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:11,080 Speaker 2: is about what they can do to anyone. 331 00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:12,640 Speaker 3: This is about. 332 00:15:12,400 --> 00:15:15,680 Speaker 2: All of our rights. What could have kept them? Since 333 00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:18,400 Speaker 2: their position is once they're a Alsalvador, it's over, it's gone. 334 00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:20,680 Speaker 2: We can't do anything. In Bekelly's position is I can't 335 00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:24,480 Speaker 2: do anything either. What is to keep them from sending 336 00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:28,000 Speaker 2: anyone that they want? And as long as they get 337 00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:30,160 Speaker 2: the plane in the air before the court can come 338 00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:32,320 Speaker 2: in and say you can't do that, then they can 339 00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:35,240 Speaker 2: do whatever they want to people. And so when you 340 00:15:35,280 --> 00:15:38,080 Speaker 2: have Trump here, not only on the hot mic, and 341 00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:40,520 Speaker 2: he had previously said, hey, maybe I'll send American citizens 342 00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:43,360 Speaker 2: there on the hot mic, telling Bakelly, next up is 343 00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:46,200 Speaker 2: the homegrowns. You need to build more facilities, and then 344 00:15:46,240 --> 00:15:49,600 Speaker 2: confirmed in the questioning and he said he made this 345 00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:52,080 Speaker 2: comment that I wanted to get your reaction to, in 346 00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:55,520 Speaker 2: particular Soger. He said specifically in response to a reporter 347 00:15:55,640 --> 00:15:57,360 Speaker 2: asking if he would deport US citizens. 348 00:15:57,480 --> 00:15:59,960 Speaker 3: Quote what you think they're a special category? 349 00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:06,080 Speaker 1: Yes? Right, yeah, I mean thought right? What thoughts? I mean? 350 00:16:06,120 --> 00:16:08,680 Speaker 1: It's just outrageous. And I think what people need to 351 00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:11,240 Speaker 1: understand is that the step by step that the government 352 00:16:11,280 --> 00:16:14,120 Speaker 1: has taken is one that has revealed itself over the 353 00:16:14,200 --> 00:16:18,120 Speaker 1: last several months. I keep resuscitating an old Vietnam term 354 00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:20,840 Speaker 1: credibility gap, and the credibility gap is, like you said, 355 00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:23,000 Speaker 1: they said that it was the worst of the worst. 356 00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:25,680 Speaker 1: Now we know categorically now that that is just simply 357 00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:29,600 Speaker 1: not true considering the overall criminal record. They also said 358 00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:32,400 Speaker 1: that they were using a tattoo or whatever to identify, 359 00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:34,720 Speaker 1: which actually sounds you know, it rings true to a 360 00:16:34,760 --> 00:16:37,160 Speaker 1: lot of people. That's very often the gangs use tattoos 361 00:16:37,320 --> 00:16:39,880 Speaker 1: to do affiliation. Go look at any prison system in 362 00:16:39,920 --> 00:16:41,880 Speaker 1: the United States. It's one of the number one ways 363 00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:45,160 Speaker 1: that you do gang classification. Right. So but again, now 364 00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:49,000 Speaker 1: we have continued to see there's huge holes in the story, 365 00:16:49,040 --> 00:16:51,480 Speaker 1: and there's been a number of these people of a 366 00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:54,480 Speaker 1: gay barber for example, being one of them, where it 367 00:16:54,520 --> 00:16:57,640 Speaker 1: is just like blatantly obvious that at the very least, 368 00:16:57,760 --> 00:17:01,400 Speaker 1: like what they're saying is completely untrue, if not outright false. 369 00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:05,439 Speaker 1: Then you take it a step further. For deportation, initially 370 00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:08,679 Speaker 1: it was about illegal aliens present in the United States 371 00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:12,320 Speaker 1: or people who had applied for asylum. So, okay, you 372 00:17:12,320 --> 00:17:14,720 Speaker 1: know this is one where you can't necessarily or it 373 00:17:14,840 --> 00:17:17,520 Speaker 1: was still in my opinion, still a jump from there. 374 00:17:17,600 --> 00:17:19,959 Speaker 1: To people who are here legally and or who are 375 00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:22,960 Speaker 1: here US citizens. But the jump now, and I have 376 00:17:23,040 --> 00:17:26,680 Speaker 1: spoken with multiple legal experts, is that this one in 377 00:17:26,760 --> 00:17:31,800 Speaker 1: particular is the one that most definitively applies to United 378 00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:36,479 Speaker 1: States citizens because the custody, the custody, the custody at 379 00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:40,200 Speaker 1: question is specifically about this else that the government position 380 00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:42,560 Speaker 1: is taking is that once they are in El Salvador 381 00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:45,240 Speaker 1: in custody, there is nothing that you can do for 382 00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:49,600 Speaker 1: them that actually does not have any legal limitation. Alien 383 00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:51,720 Speaker 1: Enemies Act, believe it or not, actually does whenever it 384 00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:54,919 Speaker 1: comes to a US citizen. There are multiple other you know, 385 00:17:54,960 --> 00:17:58,760 Speaker 1: you've even seen, for example, many of these Palestinian proactivist 386 00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:01,640 Speaker 1: students who are getting or trying to get deported, they're 387 00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:05,360 Speaker 1: still going through a due process like you know, deportation order. 388 00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:08,840 Speaker 1: Alien Enemies Act was definitely over here. But the specific 389 00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:12,800 Speaker 1: question here at hand legally is one that has no 390 00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:17,199 Speaker 1: limiting principle whatsoever. And actually, I would point to Ed Whalen, 391 00:18:17,320 --> 00:18:20,399 Speaker 1: this is very important for people to see a three 392 00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:22,520 Speaker 1: police Let me just Ed Ed, and I need to 393 00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:25,879 Speaker 1: contextualize that Ed is one of the most conservative lawyers 394 00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:28,320 Speaker 1: and legal minds here in Washington. Ed is a guy 395 00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:31,199 Speaker 1: who went to bat harder than anyone I know for 396 00:18:31,280 --> 00:18:36,960 Speaker 1: Brett Kavanaugh. That's I'm trying to contextualize who this person is. 397 00:18:37,080 --> 00:18:40,280 Speaker 1: I really ideological ground. Unless you're unless you're in the 398 00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:43,639 Speaker 1: mold in the DC world, you don't quite understand how 399 00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:45,840 Speaker 1: important it is for Ed to speak out on something 400 00:18:45,880 --> 00:18:48,119 Speaker 1: like this. So okay, with all that on the on 401 00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:51,800 Speaker 1: the table, quote outrageous, misterpresentation of the Supreme Court ruling. 402 00:18:51,840 --> 00:18:54,200 Speaker 1: The unanimous Court rule that a district Court order properly 403 00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:57,600 Speaker 1: requires the government to facilitate Upbrego Garcia's release from custody 404 00:18:57,600 --> 00:19:00,000 Speaker 1: in Nail Salvador and to ensure that his case is handled, 405 00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:02,080 Speaker 1: and it would have been had he not been improperly 406 00:19:02,119 --> 00:19:04,679 Speaker 1: sent to l Salvador. Yes. The Court also stated that 407 00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:06,840 Speaker 1: the intended scope of the term effectuate in the district 408 00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:09,639 Speaker 1: Court's order is, however, unclear and may exceed the district 409 00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:12,080 Speaker 1: court authority, and it told the district courts to clarify 410 00:19:12,119 --> 00:19:14,720 Speaker 1: its directive with due regard for the deference owed to 411 00:19:14,840 --> 00:19:17,400 Speaker 1: Executive branch and the conduct of foreign affairs. But due 412 00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:19,840 Speaker 1: regard does not mean the district Court couldn't give any 413 00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:22,879 Speaker 1: teeth to effectuate. In any event, the district court dropped 414 00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:25,840 Speaker 1: effectuate from its revised order, so this is all irrelevant. 415 00:19:25,840 --> 00:19:29,120 Speaker 1: The duty to facilitate continues. And that's what the government 416 00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:31,600 Speaker 1: is saying, is that their only duty to facilitate is 417 00:19:31,640 --> 00:19:35,240 Speaker 1: that if Bucell were to release Abrego Garcia from the 418 00:19:35,359 --> 00:19:37,439 Speaker 1: what was it from prison, that they would fly him 419 00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:40,480 Speaker 1: back to the United States, proceed with a due deportation 420 00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:42,560 Speaker 1: through a due process proceeding, and then he would be 421 00:19:42,560 --> 00:19:45,000 Speaker 1: sent back to l Salvador. But at the very least 422 00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:47,400 Speaker 1: like that is still one which fits within the bounds 423 00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:49,200 Speaker 1: of the law. And that is not what we see 424 00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:51,959 Speaker 1: right now from the Trump administration. And they have stretched it, 425 00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:54,920 Speaker 1: you know, ten times farther than any before. And in fact, 426 00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:57,320 Speaker 1: it does appear that they're trying to pick fights with 427 00:19:57,359 --> 00:20:01,719 Speaker 1: the courts over their immigration nationality authority specifically, but in 428 00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:04,399 Speaker 1: this particular case, as I want to come back to, 429 00:20:04,760 --> 00:20:07,600 Speaker 1: the truth is is that everything they have said on 430 00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:09,879 Speaker 1: this process and you know, look, this requires me a 431 00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:12,080 Speaker 1: help with from people like me. I never, in my 432 00:20:12,200 --> 00:20:16,120 Speaker 1: wildest dreams imagined that you would just simply snatch people 433 00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:19,200 Speaker 1: up who had nothing to do with I mean, for example, 434 00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:21,240 Speaker 1: we have eight to ten million gang members, right, sorry, 435 00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:24,920 Speaker 1: eight to ten million illegal immigrants. Is it really implausible 436 00:20:24,960 --> 00:20:27,720 Speaker 1: there are two hundred, you know, gang members President of 437 00:20:27,720 --> 00:20:30,400 Speaker 1: the United States, I honestly don't think so. I am 438 00:20:30,560 --> 00:20:34,480 Speaker 1: relatively familiar with gang proceedings and others in the criminal 439 00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:37,600 Speaker 1: justice system, their gang enhancements and others at state by 440 00:20:37,640 --> 00:20:40,919 Speaker 1: state level. This is something that cops do every day. 441 00:20:41,160 --> 00:20:44,600 Speaker 1: Would it really have entered that wildest dream to think 442 00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:47,400 Speaker 1: that you would take somebody and look at their administrative 443 00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:50,960 Speaker 1: paperwork and then mistakenly deport that individual and then claim, 444 00:20:51,119 --> 00:20:55,080 Speaker 1: you know, without any without really without even walking back 445 00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:57,800 Speaker 1: any claims around this, to say that this is somebody 446 00:20:57,920 --> 00:21:00,119 Speaker 1: to be deported to tell someone it's also similarly, it's 447 00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:03,080 Speaker 1: very different than to go through a deportation proceeding for 448 00:21:04,119 --> 00:21:06,199 Speaker 1: being sent back to El Salvador than it is to 449 00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:10,760 Speaker 1: facilitate the actual entry into this prison as a behest 450 00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:13,960 Speaker 1: of the United States government. That direction also matters. So 451 00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:17,720 Speaker 1: if Abrago Garcia went through the normal deportation process and 452 00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:19,879 Speaker 1: was sent to Al Salvador and they decided to put 453 00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:22,600 Speaker 1: him in prison, okay, that's a different thing. It fundamentally 454 00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:25,040 Speaker 1: is because that's not something that was facilitated, paid for, 455 00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:27,560 Speaker 1: and done at the behest of the United States government 456 00:21:27,720 --> 00:21:30,879 Speaker 1: in this particular case, that is absolutely not what has happened. 457 00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:32,760 Speaker 1: And I think it is very clear that the government 458 00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:35,199 Speaker 1: is trying to stretch it now to this point and 459 00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:38,879 Speaker 1: at this it is a breaking point name of the show. 460 00:21:39,119 --> 00:21:41,560 Speaker 1: This is one where you must stand up against what 461 00:21:41,600 --> 00:21:44,879 Speaker 1: the current government is doing, specifically because it does apply 462 00:21:45,040 --> 00:21:47,919 Speaker 1: to United States citizens. There is not a single limiting 463 00:21:47,960 --> 00:21:51,040 Speaker 1: principle that can be held here. And it's not about 464 00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:55,399 Speaker 1: Alien Enemies Act, It's not even really about illegal versus legal. 465 00:21:55,560 --> 00:21:58,920 Speaker 1: There is nothing under the current logic that would stop 466 00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:02,440 Speaker 1: them from doing this to any United States citizen who 467 00:22:02,480 --> 00:22:05,000 Speaker 1: would mistakenly be deported. And if we are then to 468 00:22:05,359 --> 00:22:09,080 Speaker 1: assume and now look at the obvious credibility gap within 469 00:22:09,119 --> 00:22:13,000 Speaker 1: the White House, at their shoddy procedures at not even shoddy, 470 00:22:13,040 --> 00:22:15,840 Speaker 1: I mean just outright fake. Basically at this point the 471 00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:19,400 Speaker 1: MS thirteen East Coast gang leader and thing that we saw, 472 00:22:19,480 --> 00:22:22,639 Speaker 1: no reasonable individual, in my opinion, could have confidence in 473 00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:26,000 Speaker 1: the current Department Homeland Security to be able to fundamentally 474 00:22:26,040 --> 00:22:28,359 Speaker 1: distinguish and make sure that there is enough of a 475 00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:31,840 Speaker 1: coult process that is being put in place there to 476 00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:34,600 Speaker 1: ensure that no United States sitting would ever be mistakenly 477 00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:38,280 Speaker 1: deported under this current regime, especially in the way that 478 00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:40,719 Speaker 1: it has all been implemented at this time. So we 479 00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:43,720 Speaker 1: can look step by step at all the processes easily 480 00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:45,520 Speaker 1: in hindsight and say this was not true, this was 481 00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:47,920 Speaker 1: not true, this was not true, this is being handled differently, 482 00:22:47,960 --> 00:22:50,199 Speaker 1: this is now here. And the limiting principle, which is 483 00:22:50,520 --> 00:22:52,760 Speaker 1: like an often thing you should look like, especially with 484 00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:55,520 Speaker 1: legal and others. As I said, I've spoken with many, 485 00:22:55,520 --> 00:22:57,920 Speaker 1: many legal minds, and the only thing stopping them is 486 00:22:57,960 --> 00:23:00,160 Speaker 1: their own behest of not being able to do something. 487 00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:03,000 Speaker 1: And that's just simply not good enough in my opinion, 488 00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:05,840 Speaker 1: you know, I mean, what they're really asking for is trust, 489 00:23:05,880 --> 00:23:08,400 Speaker 1: and I just don't think that any reasonable person who 490 00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:10,920 Speaker 1: is now looking at this can have any trust whatsoever 491 00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:12,879 Speaker 1: in the procedure that they put place or any of 492 00:23:12,880 --> 00:23:15,160 Speaker 1: the statements that they have forward on MS thirteen trend 493 00:23:15,160 --> 00:23:18,200 Speaker 1: de Agua, especially with the arrests of that so called 494 00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:20,600 Speaker 1: East Coast gang leader and then many of the arrests 495 00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:23,200 Speaker 1: that have been made now so far. So anyway, that's 496 00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:25,959 Speaker 1: my long winded way of just saying I think this 497 00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:28,200 Speaker 1: is incredibly dangerous, and I do think that I've seen 498 00:23:28,280 --> 00:23:31,400 Speaker 1: fire and numerous or other organizations stand up. I've seen 499 00:23:31,720 --> 00:23:34,640 Speaker 1: ed Whalen and others as well, and so that's also 500 00:23:34,760 --> 00:23:37,320 Speaker 1: I think that allows for calibration. And I understand a 501 00:23:37,359 --> 00:23:39,360 Speaker 1: lot of MAGA is in a place where they don't 502 00:23:39,359 --> 00:23:41,520 Speaker 1: want to take you know, they find it annoying that 503 00:23:41,520 --> 00:23:43,399 Speaker 1: they call them a Maryland. It's like, okay, fine, we 504 00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:46,760 Speaker 1: can talk later about illegal and illegal status, because it's 505 00:23:46,800 --> 00:23:49,040 Speaker 1: actually not about that right now now, And that's the 506 00:23:49,119 --> 00:23:50,960 Speaker 1: kind of the point I want to get across. This 507 00:23:51,080 --> 00:23:54,280 Speaker 1: is not about illegal immigration. This specific case is not 508 00:23:54,400 --> 00:23:57,760 Speaker 1: about illegal immigration, period. It really is about courts, and 509 00:23:57,800 --> 00:24:01,440 Speaker 1: it is also about principles which would course apply to anybody. 510 00:24:01,480 --> 00:24:04,600 Speaker 1: And under that current regime, then no, without any limiting 511 00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:07,200 Speaker 1: power on the government, that there is nothing stopping from 512 00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:10,120 Speaker 1: a US citizen. It's clear now that Donald Trump, if 513 00:24:10,160 --> 00:24:11,840 Speaker 1: he says it, you know, we have to take him 514 00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:14,359 Speaker 1: seriously at this point as well. It is now clear 515 00:24:14,400 --> 00:24:16,639 Speaker 1: also that many of the guardrails which you know, frankly 516 00:24:16,680 --> 00:24:19,200 Speaker 1: I thought would be there, I've obviously fallen apart or 517 00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:21,159 Speaker 1: not even fallen apart. It's just that there are willing 518 00:24:21,560 --> 00:24:25,240 Speaker 1: participants and they view everything as some sort of like 519 00:24:25,359 --> 00:24:28,120 Speaker 1: left right media game, almost like you and I debating 520 00:24:28,119 --> 00:24:30,600 Speaker 1: here on this show. And it's like with the tariffs, 521 00:24:30,600 --> 00:24:32,600 Speaker 1: it's like with signal Gate, it's like with all of 522 00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:34,680 Speaker 1: these other things. It's like, No, this is about real 523 00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:36,560 Speaker 1: people's life, like you, people are in the government. This 524 00:24:36,640 --> 00:24:39,119 Speaker 1: is not a CNN panel where we're trying to joust 525 00:24:39,160 --> 00:24:41,119 Speaker 1: here about who's right and who's wrong. 526 00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:47,760 Speaker 2: These people, they want them to stay in this torture 527 00:24:47,840 --> 00:24:49,040 Speaker 2: dungeon for life. 528 00:24:49,680 --> 00:24:51,480 Speaker 3: People who did nothing wrong. 529 00:24:51,720 --> 00:24:54,040 Speaker 2: Nothing, I mean, many of these individuals, the ones that 530 00:24:54,080 --> 00:24:56,600 Speaker 2: the media has been able to track down, they went 531 00:24:56,640 --> 00:25:00,359 Speaker 2: through the process, like they showed, they got their ap point. 532 00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:02,639 Speaker 2: They're going through the asylum process. Now we can have 533 00:25:02,680 --> 00:25:05,600 Speaker 2: a lot of conversations about that asylum process. They did 534 00:25:05,680 --> 00:25:08,879 Speaker 2: nothing wrong. They were following the process as it was 535 00:25:08,920 --> 00:25:13,840 Speaker 2: set out. Ninety percent no criminal record, sentenced to a 536 00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:18,960 Speaker 2: life of torture and misery. And the administration knows that, 537 00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:22,679 Speaker 2: they know that, they're not fools, they know what they've done. 538 00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:23,720 Speaker 3: It's evil. 539 00:25:23,800 --> 00:25:27,639 Speaker 2: I mean, there's just no other word to sending people 540 00:25:27,680 --> 00:25:31,480 Speaker 2: who are innocent, who have committed no crime, done nothing wrong, 541 00:25:32,119 --> 00:25:35,560 Speaker 2: to rot in a prison cell known for torture and 542 00:25:35,640 --> 00:25:39,480 Speaker 2: human rights abuse for life. That's what we're talking about here. 543 00:25:39,480 --> 00:25:41,840 Speaker 2: And you mentioned, you know, a breaking point yesterday. I 544 00:25:41,880 --> 00:25:45,600 Speaker 2: had the same reaction of you know, obviously I was 545 00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:48,200 Speaker 2: concerned about this administration coming in. I've been deeply concerned 546 00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:50,800 Speaker 2: about the actions that have been taken. I you know, 547 00:25:50,920 --> 00:25:54,399 Speaker 2: when this initially occurred, I was really deeply concerned about 548 00:25:54,440 --> 00:25:57,880 Speaker 2: where not only that action, but where would ultimately lead. 549 00:25:58,400 --> 00:26:01,280 Speaker 2: But now you have them in open defiance of the 550 00:26:01,320 --> 00:26:03,719 Speaker 2: Supreme Court, I mean, just lying about what the Supreme 551 00:26:03,720 --> 00:26:08,879 Speaker 2: Court even said. You have them committing to keep so 552 00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:11,240 Speaker 2: when they admitted they messed up by sending down to 553 00:26:11,280 --> 00:26:14,960 Speaker 2: this prison, they are dead set on keeping that man 554 00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:19,000 Speaker 2: in that prison for his entire life, however long that lasts. 555 00:26:19,760 --> 00:26:24,920 Speaker 2: And now on camera multiple times, Trump is out there. 556 00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:26,960 Speaker 3: Next up is American citizens. 557 00:26:27,840 --> 00:26:32,840 Speaker 2: That is a dramatic escalation of authoritarianism. And I'm glad 558 00:26:32,840 --> 00:26:35,120 Speaker 2: to see you know yourself, I'm glad to see others. 559 00:26:35,160 --> 00:26:37,040 Speaker 2: I'm glad to see Ied Whalen. But I have to say, 560 00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:40,560 Speaker 2: not one Republican politician, not. 561 00:26:40,760 --> 00:26:42,360 Speaker 1: One yeah, they can't. 562 00:26:42,200 --> 00:26:44,639 Speaker 3: Not a Ran Paul, not a Thomas Massy. 563 00:26:44,680 --> 00:26:46,560 Speaker 1: Yes they can, well, yes they can't. 564 00:26:46,720 --> 00:26:49,760 Speaker 2: Can but we've seen, i mean on certain issues they 565 00:26:49,760 --> 00:26:53,880 Speaker 2: have broken with this president occasionally and to just completely 566 00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:56,040 Speaker 2: like these are people who hold them so oh, here's 567 00:26:56,080 --> 00:27:00,680 Speaker 2: the constitution, and who've held themselves down as these constitutional conservatives. 568 00:27:02,400 --> 00:27:04,879 Speaker 2: The president of the United States plans to completely deny 569 00:27:04,960 --> 00:27:08,240 Speaker 2: due process to US citizens and throw them in a 570 00:27:08,280 --> 00:27:12,359 Speaker 2: foreign prison. And not one person wants to speak out 571 00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:14,679 Speaker 2: about that. That to me is astonishing. And let me 572 00:27:14,680 --> 00:27:17,760 Speaker 2: go ahead and put up on the screen. Let's go 573 00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:20,640 Speaker 2: to these last pieces, this most recent case that we're 574 00:27:20,880 --> 00:27:23,520 Speaker 2: learning about, because the more we're learning about these individuals, 575 00:27:23,800 --> 00:27:27,000 Speaker 2: the more you can see like they just anyone they 576 00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:27,560 Speaker 2: could grab. 577 00:27:27,880 --> 00:27:30,600 Speaker 3: Who is Venezuelan they grabbed? Put up. 578 00:27:30,680 --> 00:27:33,440 Speaker 2: I believe it's a six guys, This nineteen year old 579 00:27:34,600 --> 00:27:38,560 Speaker 2: migrant from Venezuela who had come with his dad. This 580 00:27:38,640 --> 00:27:41,960 Speaker 2: is a photo of him with his father. Put the 581 00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:43,800 Speaker 2: next piece up on the screen. This was by this 582 00:27:44,119 --> 00:27:47,879 Speaker 2: news outlet, it's called Documented. So they were living in 583 00:27:47,880 --> 00:27:51,080 Speaker 2: New York. This is the kind of quintessential story. They 584 00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:54,400 Speaker 2: got their they came across the border. They got put 585 00:27:54,440 --> 00:27:57,720 Speaker 2: on a bus to the infamous Roosevelt Hotel in New York. 586 00:27:58,119 --> 00:28:04,000 Speaker 2: They're working at actually unpacking Timu packages by the airport. 587 00:28:04,280 --> 00:28:05,040 Speaker 1: There's a lot going on. 588 00:28:05,119 --> 00:28:08,120 Speaker 2: And so his son is coming back to the apartment 589 00:28:08,160 --> 00:28:10,880 Speaker 2: after running some errands and just steps from his home, 590 00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:13,480 Speaker 2: ICE agents stop him. They grab him and two other 591 00:28:13,520 --> 00:28:15,760 Speaker 2: boys right at the entrance of our building. This is 592 00:28:15,760 --> 00:28:18,639 Speaker 2: his father, one said. One of the ICE agents said, no, 593 00:28:18,840 --> 00:28:21,760 Speaker 2: he's not the one, like they were looking for someone else. 594 00:28:22,040 --> 00:28:25,560 Speaker 2: But the other said, take him anyway. This one no 595 00:28:25,640 --> 00:28:29,000 Speaker 2: criminal record, did not even have a tattoo, you know, 596 00:28:29,080 --> 00:28:32,920 Speaker 2: not that that's any sort of justification, but they knew this, 597 00:28:32,920 --> 00:28:35,560 Speaker 2: this isn't the right guy, and they snatched him up anyways, 598 00:28:35,600 --> 00:28:38,479 Speaker 2: And now he is his father's beside himself, and he 599 00:28:38,560 --> 00:28:42,280 Speaker 2: is in this prison potentially for life or until you know, 600 00:28:42,320 --> 00:28:44,360 Speaker 2: another administration decides they're going to do something. 601 00:28:44,400 --> 00:28:47,400 Speaker 3: In the game that Trump and Bkelly are playing here, Trump. 602 00:28:47,160 --> 00:28:49,479 Speaker 2: Is saying, oh, I couldn't possibly, but I don't have 603 00:28:49,480 --> 00:28:51,720 Speaker 2: the power over what's going on in El Salvador, and 604 00:28:51,720 --> 00:28:53,320 Speaker 2: but Kelly say, oh, I don't have the power to 605 00:28:53,320 --> 00:28:55,520 Speaker 2: get him out of prison. Like both of you do, 606 00:28:55,880 --> 00:28:58,840 Speaker 2: you both do you don't think that Trump has power? 607 00:28:59,080 --> 00:28:59,960 Speaker 3: It's El Salvador. 608 00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:04,040 Speaker 2: But Kelly has decided to like completely align himself with Trump. 609 00:29:04,160 --> 00:29:06,160 Speaker 2: Yesterday he tweeted out after he left, oh my god, 610 00:29:06,160 --> 00:29:10,240 Speaker 2: I miss you already called President she or something like that. 611 00:29:11,080 --> 00:29:12,000 Speaker 3: We are paying them. 612 00:29:12,120 --> 00:29:14,800 Speaker 2: We have a contract, six million dollar contract with them 613 00:29:15,240 --> 00:29:18,280 Speaker 2: to keep these people in this prison. If Trump said 614 00:29:18,400 --> 00:29:21,000 Speaker 2: yesterday to the Kelly, hey, we need we messed up. 615 00:29:21,040 --> 00:29:22,680 Speaker 3: We need to get that guy back, it would be done. 616 00:29:22,800 --> 00:29:23,560 Speaker 3: It would be over. 617 00:29:24,200 --> 00:29:27,200 Speaker 2: But Kelly is running on salved Or under state of exception. 618 00:29:27,280 --> 00:29:28,320 Speaker 2: He can do whatever he wants. 619 00:29:28,600 --> 00:29:30,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, true is literally martial law. 620 00:29:30,320 --> 00:29:33,640 Speaker 2: And by the way, there were some of the people 621 00:29:33,680 --> 00:29:37,080 Speaker 2: that we had tried to deport to this prison, several 622 00:29:37,160 --> 00:29:38,880 Speaker 2: women that were included that though they were like, no, 623 00:29:38,920 --> 00:29:41,000 Speaker 2: we're not taking women that they sent back, so they 624 00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:42,680 Speaker 2: clearly have the power to send some people back. 625 00:29:42,760 --> 00:29:45,480 Speaker 1: They also apparently rejected people who were also from other 626 00:29:45,520 --> 00:29:47,680 Speaker 1: Central American countries to that's. 627 00:29:47,520 --> 00:29:49,400 Speaker 3: Great, because they were worried about. 628 00:29:49,120 --> 00:29:51,320 Speaker 1: The Central American politics. 629 00:29:51,440 --> 00:29:53,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, so you're more worried about that than the United 630 00:29:53,120 --> 00:29:56,160 Speaker 2: States of America. I mean, it's just they And to 631 00:29:56,200 --> 00:29:58,840 Speaker 2: your point about the guardrails. You know the Supreme Court 632 00:29:58,840 --> 00:30:01,160 Speaker 2: did mess up here, because you have to know at 633 00:30:01,200 --> 00:30:03,000 Speaker 2: this point, I think John Robbers trying to play this 634 00:30:03,080 --> 00:30:04,800 Speaker 2: game and be too cute of let me give them 635 00:30:04,840 --> 00:30:06,600 Speaker 2: a little bit, let me give them some wins, let 636 00:30:06,640 --> 00:30:09,160 Speaker 2: me give them something that they get. No, if you 637 00:30:09,200 --> 00:30:12,000 Speaker 2: don't tell them no, you cannot do. You must get 638 00:30:12,080 --> 00:30:15,440 Speaker 2: him back. If you give them even the little tiniest 639 00:30:15,480 --> 00:30:18,600 Speaker 2: bit of anything, they will do exactly what they did here. 640 00:30:19,120 --> 00:30:19,920 Speaker 3: Lie about what. 641 00:30:19,840 --> 00:30:24,080 Speaker 2: You said, refuse to do anything whatsoever. And this has 642 00:30:24,160 --> 00:30:27,280 Speaker 2: now been kicked back to the district court. They're supposed 643 00:30:27,280 --> 00:30:30,520 Speaker 2: to be providing updates every day. They've just basically refused 644 00:30:30,640 --> 00:30:32,560 Speaker 2: to do that, certainly in the way that the court 645 00:30:32,560 --> 00:30:35,280 Speaker 2: has ordered them to do. And they are certainly inching 646 00:30:35,400 --> 00:30:39,840 Speaker 2: up to that district court judge holding them in contempt. 647 00:30:40,240 --> 00:30:42,800 Speaker 2: I fully expect that to go back to the Supreme Court. 648 00:30:42,840 --> 00:30:45,360 Speaker 2: So there are still things working their way through the 649 00:30:45,440 --> 00:30:47,600 Speaker 2: judicial process. But at this point you have to say 650 00:30:47,920 --> 00:30:51,959 Speaker 2: that they are openly defined certainly the spirit of the 651 00:30:51,960 --> 00:30:55,880 Speaker 2: court order. They are have laid down a marker that 652 00:30:55,960 --> 00:30:57,640 Speaker 2: if they can get the plane in the air, then 653 00:30:57,640 --> 00:30:59,640 Speaker 2: they can do nothing. Then you know, as long as 654 00:30:59,680 --> 00:31:02,800 Speaker 2: they are quick enough, then they can deny people's rights. 655 00:31:02,800 --> 00:31:06,480 Speaker 2: They can act completely extra constitutionally, do whatever they want, 656 00:31:06,800 --> 00:31:10,280 Speaker 2: and even when they get caught and admit a complete 657 00:31:10,280 --> 00:31:13,640 Speaker 2: screw up, they still don't care. They think that these 658 00:31:13,640 --> 00:31:17,080 Speaker 2: people should be there for life. It is absolutely outrageous. 659 00:31:17,160 --> 00:31:18,520 Speaker 1: That's why I think that the way that it was 660 00:31:18,560 --> 00:31:20,880 Speaker 1: set out is very important to see and see exactly 661 00:31:21,040 --> 00:31:24,000 Speaker 1: like you said, at the current thing, there is no 662 00:31:24,320 --> 00:31:27,240 Speaker 1: simple limiting principle on the government's action, and that is 663 00:31:27,320 --> 00:31:31,320 Speaker 1: genuinely extraordinary. Like we can have conceptual debates about planes 664 00:31:31,360 --> 00:31:34,440 Speaker 1: and judges and being able to turn things around about 665 00:31:34,480 --> 00:31:37,239 Speaker 1: gang members. Listen, I happily debate anybody all day long 666 00:31:37,280 --> 00:31:38,720 Speaker 1: as whether any of these people even should have been 667 00:31:38,760 --> 00:31:42,240 Speaker 1: in the United States or we're abusing the process. But 668 00:31:42,960 --> 00:31:46,360 Speaker 1: it's one of those where that is actually not what 669 00:31:46,440 --> 00:31:49,160 Speaker 1: is on the table right now. Right Like if we 670 00:31:49,800 --> 00:31:53,240 Speaker 1: let's think about this just conceptually, if the government had 671 00:31:53,520 --> 00:31:58,440 Speaker 1: arrested Obrego Garcia and gone through the standard deportation process, 672 00:31:58,480 --> 00:32:01,520 Speaker 1: of which there was a very good so he's getting deported, period, 673 00:32:02,240 --> 00:32:05,000 Speaker 1: He's gone, this nineteen year old, and then no one 674 00:32:05,000 --> 00:32:07,440 Speaker 1: would even know his name and if then the n Salvadorians, 675 00:32:07,440 --> 00:32:09,360 Speaker 1: if they want to throw him in prison, that's their business. 676 00:32:09,360 --> 00:32:11,920 Speaker 1: This nineteen year old, by their own admission, this guy 677 00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:14,760 Speaker 1: came here because he didn't have enough money in Venezuela. 678 00:32:14,800 --> 00:32:17,440 Speaker 1: He's not even pretending that he was fleeing gang violence 679 00:32:17,520 --> 00:32:19,800 Speaker 1: or whatever. Same thing. You don't even have a claim 680 00:32:19,800 --> 00:32:23,880 Speaker 1: of asylum. You're going home under a standard deportation process, Chris. 681 00:32:23,920 --> 00:32:26,440 Speaker 1: So I'll go to bat on that any day of 682 00:32:26,440 --> 00:32:30,680 Speaker 1: the week. That's not the same thing as saying temporary 683 00:32:30,680 --> 00:32:35,040 Speaker 1: deportation order or temporary deportation hold, then coming around and 684 00:32:35,080 --> 00:32:36,560 Speaker 1: being like, oh, we're going to send him there, and 685 00:32:36,560 --> 00:32:37,840 Speaker 1: then we actually we're not going to get back because 686 00:32:37,840 --> 00:32:39,640 Speaker 1: there's nothing we can do about it. And this is 687 00:32:39,640 --> 00:32:42,360 Speaker 1: what I want the MAGA folks to really understand, because 688 00:32:42,360 --> 00:32:44,760 Speaker 1: they are conflating the two. They're saying, oh, I break over, 689 00:32:44,840 --> 00:32:46,600 Speaker 1: and I'm like, listen, I'm with you, all right. You know, 690 00:32:46,640 --> 00:32:48,640 Speaker 1: why is the guy who's been here illegally since twenty 691 00:32:48,680 --> 00:32:51,760 Speaker 1: eleven doesn't claim asylum till twenty nineteen. Should he really 692 00:32:51,760 --> 00:32:52,600 Speaker 1: be in the United States? 693 00:32:52,720 --> 00:32:52,880 Speaker 2: No? 694 00:32:53,120 --> 00:32:55,320 Speaker 1: Obviously, for me, I think a lot of people agree 695 00:32:55,320 --> 00:32:57,920 Speaker 1: with that sentiment. They voted for that. Now, this, this 696 00:32:58,080 --> 00:33:01,080 Speaker 1: is not even within the realm of when you're asking 697 00:33:01,160 --> 00:33:04,080 Speaker 1: about Maga and all those other folks. They are so 698 00:33:04,560 --> 00:33:07,720 Speaker 1: triggered and listen, I emotionally, I understand this. Whenever people, 699 00:33:07,760 --> 00:33:09,840 Speaker 1: you know, I see the media, Maryland Father and all 700 00:33:09,920 --> 00:33:12,880 Speaker 1: talking about all this, I get it. I totally understand, 701 00:33:12,920 --> 00:33:16,240 Speaker 1: because you're basically conveying citizenship effectively on somebody who is 702 00:33:16,240 --> 00:33:18,720 Speaker 1: not a citizen. You know, even in a lot of 703 00:33:18,720 --> 00:33:20,680 Speaker 1: these other cases, they're going to look exactly like what 704 00:33:20,760 --> 00:33:21,960 Speaker 1: I just did and be like, oh my god. You know, 705 00:33:21,960 --> 00:33:24,320 Speaker 1: they're claiming this guy is like mother Teresa or whatever, 706 00:33:24,360 --> 00:33:26,680 Speaker 1: and it's like, okay, well he didn't even follow basic 707 00:33:26,720 --> 00:33:29,440 Speaker 1: preceps of law. It's not about that right now, because 708 00:33:29,480 --> 00:33:32,360 Speaker 1: we can't. And in fact, if the government had simply 709 00:33:32,440 --> 00:33:36,360 Speaker 1: followed the basic laid out process and had gone through 710 00:33:36,400 --> 00:33:39,920 Speaker 1: an ice hoold and a deportation order, of which they 711 00:33:39,960 --> 00:33:42,840 Speaker 1: are well within their ability as they continue to do 712 00:33:42,960 --> 00:33:47,200 Speaker 1: right now, they could say nothing about nobody except the 713 00:33:47,240 --> 00:33:51,120 Speaker 1: ACLU and some open borders lawyers will be talking about this. 714 00:33:51,360 --> 00:33:53,880 Speaker 1: You would be on the most winning ground I'm talking 715 00:33:53,880 --> 00:33:58,560 Speaker 1: politically now. However, by doing this, you are actually poisoning 716 00:33:58,640 --> 00:34:01,760 Speaker 1: the well, just like they did with for any sort 717 00:34:01,800 --> 00:34:05,280 Speaker 1: of faith and credibility, even from many people who support 718 00:34:05,320 --> 00:34:08,640 Speaker 1: your supposed policy, to be able to believe a word 719 00:34:08,840 --> 00:34:11,480 Speaker 1: that you say. And that is where I find myself 720 00:34:11,680 --> 00:34:13,719 Speaker 1: looking at this, is that there was and this. You know, 721 00:34:13,920 --> 00:34:16,959 Speaker 1: you've talked about this with Glenn in particular. He's like, look, 722 00:34:17,000 --> 00:34:19,480 Speaker 1: nothing stops you from doing the deportation to your own 723 00:34:19,640 --> 00:34:23,320 Speaker 1: home cut literally nothing, So do that, you know again 724 00:34:23,360 --> 00:34:26,719 Speaker 1: with the barber guy, like really, like you know, we're 725 00:34:26,719 --> 00:34:28,560 Speaker 1: really going to take the society and claim seriously like 726 00:34:28,560 --> 00:34:30,560 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I don't And you know, fine, we can 727 00:34:30,640 --> 00:34:33,319 Speaker 1: argue again about that all day long. Fine, send him 728 00:34:33,360 --> 00:34:37,080 Speaker 1: back to Venezuela. But you know, sending somebody to a prison, 729 00:34:37,480 --> 00:34:40,360 Speaker 1: or even in this particular case, admitting that you shouldn't 730 00:34:40,360 --> 00:34:43,400 Speaker 1: have done so and under no pretense of a process, 731 00:34:43,440 --> 00:34:46,680 Speaker 1: and then also no pretense of pretending to bring somebody back, 732 00:34:46,880 --> 00:34:49,440 Speaker 1: It's simply not the same debate. And by putting yourself 733 00:34:49,440 --> 00:34:52,040 Speaker 1: on this debate, in my opinion, I'm curious what you think. 734 00:34:52,320 --> 00:34:56,120 Speaker 1: I actually do think this is a big demarcation point 735 00:34:56,360 --> 00:34:59,960 Speaker 1: for the government where a lot of people, yes, Magapolitan, 736 00:35:00,320 --> 00:35:02,160 Speaker 1: and all of them may not be talking. There are 737 00:35:02,160 --> 00:35:04,560 Speaker 1: a lot of normal conservative MAGA folks and others who 738 00:35:04,560 --> 00:35:07,120 Speaker 1: agree with deportation, who are like, yeah, I'm out on 739 00:35:07,160 --> 00:35:09,600 Speaker 1: this one, and I think that they have done that 740 00:35:09,640 --> 00:35:12,040 Speaker 1: with the tariffs, They've done that with the credibility, a 741 00:35:12,080 --> 00:35:14,160 Speaker 1: lot of that with Doe. We'll talk about does too, 742 00:35:14,239 --> 00:35:17,359 Speaker 1: won't we about? You know, some of their redefinitions. At 743 00:35:17,360 --> 00:35:19,040 Speaker 1: a certain point, you got to get the hood pulled 744 00:35:19,080 --> 00:35:21,080 Speaker 1: over from your eyes. You know, you can support a 745 00:35:21,080 --> 00:35:23,280 Speaker 1: lot of these things in principle and you can also 746 00:35:23,360 --> 00:35:25,279 Speaker 1: criticize I think a lot of the ways that not 747 00:35:25,360 --> 00:35:30,279 Speaker 1: even about practicality, but seeing genuinely on the facts of 748 00:35:30,360 --> 00:35:32,400 Speaker 1: the matter, they're not the same thing as to what 749 00:35:32,440 --> 00:35:34,319 Speaker 1: the government is trying to argue. Because you know, every 750 00:35:34,360 --> 00:35:36,480 Speaker 1: time Steven Miller opens his mouth, he's talking to how 751 00:35:36,520 --> 00:35:38,840 Speaker 1: I am about, oh, somebody who came here legally. It's like, no, 752 00:35:39,080 --> 00:35:41,719 Speaker 1: that's not what we're talking about here. Though you could 753 00:35:41,719 --> 00:35:44,960 Speaker 1: have easily deported him again, nobody would have said anything 754 00:35:45,440 --> 00:35:47,959 Speaker 1: unless except for the ACLU and a bunch of other 755 00:35:48,000 --> 00:35:50,880 Speaker 1: like Catholic charities organizations, and nobody really cares what they 756 00:35:50,920 --> 00:35:53,399 Speaker 1: have to say, but that's not what we're talking about here. 757 00:35:53,440 --> 00:35:56,920 Speaker 1: You made this into a national case for basically no reason. Well, 758 00:35:56,960 --> 00:35:58,680 Speaker 1: actually no, I think we do know the reasons, because 759 00:35:58,680 --> 00:36:01,439 Speaker 1: they want the maximum and this is good. They want 760 00:36:01,800 --> 00:36:04,840 Speaker 1: last thing. I'm sorry droning on, but the point about 761 00:36:04,880 --> 00:36:08,120 Speaker 1: mass deportation is it's actually not happening. It's just the 762 00:36:08,239 --> 00:36:11,400 Speaker 1: truth is is that the numbers are not that high, 763 00:36:11,440 --> 00:36:14,120 Speaker 1: and it is obvious that the government is either too 764 00:36:14,160 --> 00:36:17,520 Speaker 1: incompetent or unable to actually even do what they said 765 00:36:17,520 --> 00:36:19,600 Speaker 1: they were going to do, which is start with criminals 766 00:36:19,640 --> 00:36:23,120 Speaker 1: and or whatever, and they're diverting immense amount of resources 767 00:36:23,120 --> 00:36:25,440 Speaker 1: at the exact same time to these palstain and I mean, 768 00:36:25,600 --> 00:36:27,799 Speaker 1: you know, you look at these videos of oz Turk. 769 00:36:27,960 --> 00:36:31,640 Speaker 1: You know there's like five people there. What what are 770 00:36:31,680 --> 00:36:35,400 Speaker 1: we doing? What are we doing, you know, for to 771 00:36:35,480 --> 00:36:38,640 Speaker 1: dedicate all of these resources to this you know, police 772 00:36:38,680 --> 00:36:41,240 Speaker 1: state on behalf of a foreign government. And then same 773 00:36:41,560 --> 00:36:45,239 Speaker 1: in the uh sheer ineptitude and either ineptitude or callousness, 774 00:36:45,280 --> 00:36:47,080 Speaker 1: I don't know which it is for things like this 775 00:36:47,120 --> 00:36:50,080 Speaker 1: where oh just grab them anyway, So there's no rhyme, 776 00:36:50,160 --> 00:36:53,680 Speaker 1: there's no reason, And yeah, they've lost they have lost 777 00:36:53,880 --> 00:36:56,799 Speaker 1: all credibility in the eyes. I think of any you know, 778 00:36:56,960 --> 00:37:00,200 Speaker 1: reasonable person who could look at this now at this point, 779 00:37:00,239 --> 00:37:02,440 Speaker 1: and you know that's uh that they are going to 780 00:37:02,560 --> 00:37:07,840 Speaker 1: validate the immigrant activists more than anybody else on the planet. 781 00:37:07,920 --> 00:37:10,520 Speaker 1: And so four or five years from now, if you 782 00:37:10,600 --> 00:37:14,000 Speaker 1: lose the White House and they mass legalize everybody, that's 783 00:37:14,040 --> 00:37:16,759 Speaker 1: on you at this point, I really, I really believe that. 784 00:37:16,880 --> 00:37:20,279 Speaker 2: Well because they I mean, you're right that they validated 785 00:37:20,360 --> 00:37:23,800 Speaker 2: like the worst, the worst fears. I mean literally beyond honestly, 786 00:37:23,920 --> 00:37:25,920 Speaker 2: and you guys know, like you could accuse me of 787 00:37:25,920 --> 00:37:28,839 Speaker 2: Trump arrangement syndrome, but I was very concerned about this administration. 788 00:37:28,920 --> 00:37:32,239 Speaker 2: This is far beyond, far beyond what I what I 789 00:37:32,280 --> 00:37:35,879 Speaker 2: could have even come up with. And last thing I'll 790 00:37:35,920 --> 00:37:37,839 Speaker 2: say is just, you know, to tie in the piece 791 00:37:37,880 --> 00:37:40,279 Speaker 2: that you were talking about of the crackdown on these 792 00:37:40,600 --> 00:37:44,480 Speaker 2: student protesters and activists and some people who aren't even activists, 793 00:37:46,160 --> 00:37:49,239 Speaker 2: all of this is, you know, they're they're workshopping it 794 00:37:49,360 --> 00:37:52,680 Speaker 2: with immigrants. It will not stay with immigrants. We already 795 00:37:52,719 --> 00:37:54,120 Speaker 2: obviously already see. 796 00:37:53,960 --> 00:37:54,520 Speaker 3: Him out there. 797 00:37:54,920 --> 00:37:58,840 Speaker 2: The homegrowns are next, okay, And you cannot you should 798 00:37:58,880 --> 00:37:59,719 Speaker 2: not expect them to get. 799 00:37:59,760 --> 00:38:01,040 Speaker 3: First of all, no American. 800 00:38:00,760 --> 00:38:03,000 Speaker 2: Citizens should just be shipped, even if you are a criminal, 801 00:38:03,080 --> 00:38:06,080 Speaker 2: should be shipped to this foreign dungeon, in my opinion. 802 00:38:06,440 --> 00:38:10,920 Speaker 2: But even if you're okay with that, why should you 803 00:38:10,960 --> 00:38:13,880 Speaker 2: believe this administration when they say, oh, we're going to 804 00:38:13,880 --> 00:38:15,799 Speaker 2: send the worst of the worst, and they're sending some 805 00:38:15,880 --> 00:38:18,200 Speaker 2: nineteen year old kid who's done nothing wrong. They're sending 806 00:38:18,239 --> 00:38:20,399 Speaker 2: the gay makeup artists who's done nothing wrong. They're sending 807 00:38:20,480 --> 00:38:23,680 Speaker 2: ninety percent of the people they sent no criminal record, 808 00:38:23,880 --> 00:38:28,680 Speaker 2: ninety percent, only five had felony convictions. Okay, so what 809 00:38:28,719 --> 00:38:32,239 Speaker 2: they're testing with the immigrants first is intended for the 810 00:38:32,280 --> 00:38:35,160 Speaker 2: whole population. And yes, we already have indications of that 811 00:38:35,239 --> 00:38:37,480 Speaker 2: with Israel's well, we already have proof of that with 812 00:38:38,440 --> 00:38:42,520 Speaker 2: US citizens who they pressured universities to kick. 813 00:38:42,280 --> 00:38:42,960 Speaker 3: Out of school. 814 00:38:43,600 --> 00:38:43,799 Speaker 1: There. 815 00:38:45,239 --> 00:38:50,279 Speaker 2: They are investigating these pro pales signed protests as terrorism. 816 00:38:50,800 --> 00:38:53,560 Speaker 2: What's starting in the immigrant community, because that's like the 817 00:38:53,600 --> 00:38:56,000 Speaker 2: lowest hanging fruit, and they can argue, we're elected to 818 00:38:56,000 --> 00:38:59,320 Speaker 2: do this, blah blah blah. The plan is to spread 819 00:38:59,360 --> 00:39:03,719 Speaker 2: that to everyone. So that's why everyone should be concerned 820 00:39:03,760 --> 00:39:06,120 Speaker 2: about what is going on here, even if you don't 821 00:39:06,160 --> 00:39:08,319 Speaker 2: care about these particular individuals, you don't care about this 822 00:39:08,360 --> 00:39:09,040 Speaker 2: particular cause. 823 00:39:09,040 --> 00:39:10,120 Speaker 3: First all, I would say you should. 824 00:39:10,440 --> 00:39:14,239 Speaker 2: But even if you don't, this does not stay with 825 00:39:14,320 --> 00:39:18,120 Speaker 2: these individuals. There is nothing that means that keeps this 826 00:39:18,239 --> 00:39:21,520 Speaker 2: infringement on rights among a certain select group of people 827 00:39:21,600 --> 00:39:22,520 Speaker 2: within the country. 828 00:39:22,640 --> 00:39:24,360 Speaker 1: Yeah, and that's why it's important. As I said, that 829 00:39:24,440 --> 00:39:26,719 Speaker 1: is not hyperbole. That is quite literally true in the 830 00:39:26,719 --> 00:39:28,839 Speaker 1: case of the Abrygo Guercy. And that's part of why 831 00:39:28,880 --> 00:39:34,000 Speaker 1: it's so deeply concerning. Okay, shall we move on to 832 00:39:34,160 --> 00:39:36,759 Speaker 1: Trump and disapproval rating. I think these two things tie in. 833 00:39:36,840 --> 00:39:38,640 Speaker 1: I really do. I think there's been a you know, 834 00:39:38,680 --> 00:39:40,880 Speaker 1: we talked a lot about that vibe shift from November. 835 00:39:41,080 --> 00:39:43,080 Speaker 1: When when do you think the vibe shift peak February? 836 00:39:43,280 --> 00:39:45,240 Speaker 1: What do you want to say? I would say February first. 837 00:39:46,239 --> 00:39:48,880 Speaker 1: That was before true Doge Idiocy started. 838 00:39:48,640 --> 00:39:50,359 Speaker 3: To say, Okay, I'll give you that, right. 839 00:39:50,520 --> 00:39:52,760 Speaker 1: So it was like it was ten days, nine days 840 00:39:52,760 --> 00:39:56,359 Speaker 1: into the first Trump administration. We had the ceasefire in Gaza, right, 841 00:39:56,400 --> 00:39:59,800 Speaker 1: so we could peace post. We had Elon was Elon 842 00:39:59,880 --> 00:40:03,520 Speaker 1: was around, There were the executive orders, there was the 843 00:40:03,600 --> 00:40:05,880 Speaker 1: general vibe like okay, and then you know, buy around 844 00:40:05,880 --> 00:40:09,000 Speaker 1: mid feb that's when I think things really started to shift. 845 00:40:09,480 --> 00:40:12,040 Speaker 1: Let's go ahead and then talk about Trump's approval rating. 846 00:40:12,120 --> 00:40:14,680 Speaker 1: So Trump, as we talked about often in the early days, 847 00:40:14,719 --> 00:40:16,879 Speaker 1: the first month or so, he was doing pretty well, 848 00:40:16,880 --> 00:40:19,799 Speaker 1: even with the highest ever for him. You know, he 849 00:40:19,920 --> 00:40:23,080 Speaker 1: was standing strong on the economy, seemed to be doing 850 00:40:23,080 --> 00:40:26,440 Speaker 1: incredibly well on immigration. Things have now taken a pretty 851 00:40:26,480 --> 00:40:29,160 Speaker 1: significant turn for him, and in the same trend line 852 00:40:29,160 --> 00:40:32,000 Speaker 1: that we saw for Joe Biden after the withdrawal from Afghanistan, 853 00:40:32,080 --> 00:40:34,759 Speaker 1: except this one is just a mere eighty some days 854 00:40:34,760 --> 00:40:36,879 Speaker 1: into his first term. Let's take a listen to Harry 855 00:40:36,880 --> 00:40:38,120 Speaker 1: Anthony breaks a lot of it down. 856 00:40:38,440 --> 00:40:41,080 Speaker 7: I would argue this is the worst set of polling 857 00:40:41,200 --> 00:40:44,160 Speaker 7: data that Donald Trump has had in his entire second 858 00:40:44,239 --> 00:40:46,680 Speaker 7: term as president, in part because the CBS News You Go, 859 00:40:46,800 --> 00:40:50,640 Speaker 7: Paul that came out yesterday has been one of his best. 860 00:40:50,800 --> 00:40:53,240 Speaker 7: Let's first take a look at how folks are feeling 861 00:40:53,280 --> 00:40:55,960 Speaker 7: about the state of the economy. Think that the economy 862 00:40:56,040 --> 00:40:58,360 Speaker 7: is getting worse. What you don't have to be a 863 00:40:58,400 --> 00:41:00,920 Speaker 7: mathematical genius to see the tre line on your screen, 864 00:41:01,000 --> 00:41:04,440 Speaker 7: and it is getting worse. More folks are feeling the 865 00:41:04,480 --> 00:41:06,840 Speaker 7: economy is going southward. Back in November, it was just 866 00:41:06,840 --> 00:41:08,880 Speaker 7: forty two percent of Americans who said the economy is 867 00:41:08,880 --> 00:41:11,640 Speaker 7: getting worse. You jump forward to February, forty nine percent. 868 00:41:11,760 --> 00:41:14,560 Speaker 7: You jump forward to March fifty one percent. Now look 869 00:41:14,600 --> 00:41:17,960 Speaker 7: at this number, fifty three percent. The clear majority of 870 00:41:18,000 --> 00:41:21,680 Speaker 7: Americans think that the economy is getting worse. Donald Trump 871 00:41:21,760 --> 00:41:24,279 Speaker 7: wants to say, don't blame me if you're upset with 872 00:41:24,320 --> 00:41:26,800 Speaker 7: the state of the economy, blame the other guy. 873 00:41:27,239 --> 00:41:28,000 Speaker 1: I don't think. 874 00:41:27,840 --> 00:41:30,640 Speaker 7: Americans are buying what he's selling at this particular point, 875 00:41:30,680 --> 00:41:33,200 Speaker 7: at least anymore more responsible for the economic state. They 876 00:41:33,239 --> 00:41:35,720 Speaker 7: asked about inflation back in March. Look at this, thirty 877 00:41:35,719 --> 00:41:39,680 Speaker 7: eight percent, said Joe Biden. Thirty four percent, said Donald Trump. 878 00:41:39,760 --> 00:41:41,520 Speaker 7: But look at where we are this month when they 879 00:41:41,520 --> 00:41:43,839 Speaker 7: asked about the general state of the economy. Look at 880 00:41:43,840 --> 00:41:47,120 Speaker 7: how much higher the Trump number is fifty four percent. 881 00:41:47,160 --> 00:41:50,400 Speaker 1: That Joe Biden percentage drops through the floor at twenty 882 00:41:50,440 --> 00:41:51,040 Speaker 1: one percent. 883 00:41:51,280 --> 00:41:54,520 Speaker 7: So this idea that Donald Trump will try to sell 884 00:41:54,520 --> 00:41:57,240 Speaker 7: to the American public is trying to sell the American public, 885 00:41:57,560 --> 00:41:59,000 Speaker 7: is that it's the other guy. 886 00:41:59,200 --> 00:41:59,840 Speaker 4: It's not me. 887 00:42:00,320 --> 00:42:02,960 Speaker 1: It's that other guy, that old guy, Joe Biden. 888 00:42:03,520 --> 00:42:07,560 Speaker 7: No longer is this being The American public is no 889 00:42:07,600 --> 00:42:10,480 Speaker 7: longer buying this set of arguments like they were back 890 00:42:10,520 --> 00:42:10,960 Speaker 7: in March. 891 00:42:11,200 --> 00:42:14,760 Speaker 1: So you could see that the turn from blaming Biden 892 00:42:15,000 --> 00:42:18,759 Speaker 1: not exactly positive news there for Donald Trump. The more 893 00:42:18,880 --> 00:42:22,400 Speaker 1: ownership that he has over the economy, the more negative 894 00:42:22,400 --> 00:42:24,919 Speaker 1: that it will be, especially as we see the conflagration 895 00:42:25,040 --> 00:42:29,360 Speaker 1: of tariffs, of consumer sentiment and price increases began to cascade. 896 00:42:29,480 --> 00:42:31,759 Speaker 1: If they do stick to the current policy, don't forget that. 897 00:42:32,120 --> 00:42:33,720 Speaker 1: Let's go and put this up there on the screen. 898 00:42:33,760 --> 00:42:37,120 Speaker 1: We saw a similar decline in the overall tracking index 899 00:42:37,200 --> 00:42:40,560 Speaker 1: of the approval rating. So what Nate silver flags here 900 00:42:40,640 --> 00:42:43,359 Speaker 1: is that the precipitous decline that we saw right now, 901 00:42:43,360 --> 00:42:46,000 Speaker 1: a Trump approval is currently at minus five. But that's 902 00:42:46,080 --> 00:42:48,440 Speaker 1: quote only. If we used poll since Liberation Day, he 903 00:42:48,480 --> 00:42:51,400 Speaker 1: would be at minus eight point five instead. That is 904 00:42:51,440 --> 00:42:54,520 Speaker 1: a pretty significant hit over the span of barely more 905 00:42:54,560 --> 00:42:56,879 Speaker 1: than a week. He was at minus two point five 906 00:42:57,080 --> 00:43:00,960 Speaker 1: on April first, just before Liberation Day. I would also 907 00:43:01,120 --> 00:43:05,600 Speaker 1: note in particular that the focus right now, if you're 908 00:43:05,640 --> 00:43:08,280 Speaker 1: just thinking about the people who are all paying attention 909 00:43:08,480 --> 00:43:12,239 Speaker 1: right to people who are generally looking at the news, etc. Immigration, 910 00:43:12,560 --> 00:43:15,319 Speaker 1: despite the entire segment we just did, was still very 911 00:43:15,360 --> 00:43:17,880 Speaker 1: strong ground I think for Donald Trump. But go ahead 912 00:43:17,920 --> 00:43:20,200 Speaker 1: and put B four up on the screen. This is 913 00:43:20,320 --> 00:43:25,120 Speaker 1: very important that tariffs have actually moved ahead of immigration 914 00:43:25,280 --> 00:43:28,600 Speaker 1: as a top concern for American voters. From the latest 915 00:43:28,960 --> 00:43:32,560 Speaker 1: poll from Echelon Insights, the very concern number at some 916 00:43:32,640 --> 00:43:37,120 Speaker 1: seventy percent there, and actually even more concern in the 917 00:43:37,239 --> 00:43:40,560 Speaker 1: very concern for the tariffs over immigration, with immigration actually 918 00:43:40,560 --> 00:43:43,840 Speaker 1: falling below a fiftieth percentile, with the majority of the 919 00:43:43,880 --> 00:43:47,960 Speaker 1: population really focusing in on tariffs, it's just weak ground 920 00:43:47,960 --> 00:43:50,920 Speaker 1: for Donald Trump because he doesn't even have the conceptual 921 00:43:51,040 --> 00:43:54,400 Speaker 1: fallback that he originally would have had rhetorically on the issue. 922 00:43:54,560 --> 00:43:57,960 Speaker 1: Now it's just all about the process, the whipsaw, the seesaw, 923 00:43:58,160 --> 00:44:01,040 Speaker 1: the chaos that people can tune in to every day. 924 00:44:01,239 --> 00:44:04,000 Speaker 1: And that is a very similar feeling, I think to 925 00:44:04,080 --> 00:44:07,000 Speaker 1: the Biden administration, where they felt as if at the 926 00:44:07,080 --> 00:44:10,040 Speaker 1: end of the day for inflation, there was no steady 927 00:44:10,040 --> 00:44:12,279 Speaker 1: hand on the wheel, there was no plan. That's really 928 00:44:12,280 --> 00:44:14,520 Speaker 1: when Biden sank, right, Yeah, it was twenty twenty two. 929 00:44:14,520 --> 00:44:16,320 Speaker 1: In my opinion, and we could see that's when the 930 00:44:16,360 --> 00:44:19,200 Speaker 1: runaway inflation and all that started to happen. And all 931 00:44:19,280 --> 00:44:22,279 Speaker 1: of this is just terrible data for Donald Trump and 932 00:44:22,320 --> 00:44:24,800 Speaker 1: for his White House because they want to try and 933 00:44:24,840 --> 00:44:26,840 Speaker 1: say face, they want to try and actually do something 934 00:44:26,840 --> 00:44:30,120 Speaker 1: after they basically nuked this entire you know, the entire 935 00:44:30,320 --> 00:44:32,839 Speaker 1: economic outlook of the country. But they don't know where 936 00:44:32,840 --> 00:44:34,480 Speaker 1: to fall. They just don't know what they're doing, right. 937 00:44:34,600 --> 00:44:37,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, Well, and Trump loves the teriffs because he I mean, 938 00:44:37,960 --> 00:44:40,040 Speaker 2: he shouldn't be able to do them unilaterally, but. 939 00:44:40,000 --> 00:44:40,520 Speaker 3: He just is. 940 00:44:40,600 --> 00:44:43,919 Speaker 2: Yeah, change, and so it does give him the power 941 00:44:43,920 --> 00:44:45,520 Speaker 2: of a monarch. I mean, there is a reason why 942 00:44:45,560 --> 00:44:48,680 Speaker 2: tariffs were supposed to be the purview of Congress, so 943 00:44:48,719 --> 00:44:52,320 Speaker 2: that you wouldn't have the dynamic of this like CEO, 944 00:44:52,480 --> 00:44:55,920 Speaker 2: king dictator figure going and doling out, Oh you get 945 00:44:55,960 --> 00:44:59,000 Speaker 2: an exemption, you get an exemption, like and all these 946 00:44:59,080 --> 00:45:02,200 Speaker 2: companies and all the countries coming to call this man 947 00:45:02,280 --> 00:45:05,359 Speaker 2: has development properties all around the world. You don't think 948 00:45:05,400 --> 00:45:07,279 Speaker 2: that these countries are going to be coming to him 949 00:45:07,320 --> 00:45:10,080 Speaker 2: greasing the skids, giving him tax and so whatever it. 950 00:45:10,080 --> 00:45:11,520 Speaker 3: Is going to help his business. 951 00:45:11,840 --> 00:45:15,360 Speaker 2: Making sure that you know, Tesla's on a solid ground 952 00:45:15,400 --> 00:45:17,319 Speaker 2: whatever it is that Trump wants on, and so he 953 00:45:17,600 --> 00:45:18,480 Speaker 2: loves that power. 954 00:45:18,760 --> 00:45:20,000 Speaker 3: But tariffs have actually. 955 00:45:19,760 --> 00:45:22,520 Speaker 2: Always been one of the shakier parts of his plan 956 00:45:22,800 --> 00:45:25,720 Speaker 2: of the things that he ran on. It was always 957 00:45:25,800 --> 00:45:27,920 Speaker 2: during his campaign when we were looking at the numbers, 958 00:45:27,920 --> 00:45:29,760 Speaker 2: it was always sort of like fifty to fifty. People 959 00:45:29,760 --> 00:45:32,200 Speaker 2: were not in love with the idea of tariffs. And 960 00:45:32,280 --> 00:45:35,280 Speaker 2: it makes sense because at this point you had inflation 961 00:45:35,480 --> 00:45:38,759 Speaker 2: as the number one economic concern and people felt like 962 00:45:39,120 --> 00:45:41,640 Speaker 2: terrors are probably going to make things even more expensive. 963 00:45:41,640 --> 00:45:42,600 Speaker 3: And they're right about that. 964 00:45:42,960 --> 00:45:45,880 Speaker 2: You know, in some of that CBS News you go polling, 965 00:45:46,280 --> 00:45:48,960 Speaker 2: they ask people who do you think is going to 966 00:45:48,960 --> 00:45:52,360 Speaker 2: benefit from Trump's trade and tariff policies? Number one answer 967 00:45:52,440 --> 00:45:55,680 Speaker 2: seventy four percent, the wealthy. Number two answers seventy one percent. 968 00:45:55,840 --> 00:45:59,719 Speaker 2: Large corporations, The next one down fifty percent. So big 969 00:46:00,480 --> 00:46:03,719 Speaker 2: is US auto industry, which we'll talk more about in 970 00:46:03,760 --> 00:46:04,360 Speaker 2: the next. 971 00:46:04,160 --> 00:46:06,239 Speaker 3: Block, and then it's all the way down. 972 00:46:06,400 --> 00:46:10,360 Speaker 2: The lowest ones are working class, middle class and small businesses. 973 00:46:10,719 --> 00:46:13,120 Speaker 2: So people don't feel like this is a plan that 974 00:46:13,200 --> 00:46:15,080 Speaker 2: is going to help them, even though it is being 975 00:46:15,200 --> 00:46:17,760 Speaker 2: sold in that way. And at a time when inflation 976 00:46:17,840 --> 00:46:21,600 Speaker 2: continues to be a massive concern for Americans and for 977 00:46:21,719 --> 00:46:25,359 Speaker 2: American consumers. Obviously, they're going to be deeply concerned about 978 00:46:25,360 --> 00:46:26,359 Speaker 2: what is going on here. 979 00:46:26,400 --> 00:46:27,719 Speaker 3: And in some ways, even. 980 00:46:27,560 --> 00:46:30,719 Speaker 2: Like obviously he's pulled back some, although I think I 981 00:46:30,800 --> 00:46:34,319 Speaker 2: honestly think it's been a little bit oversold how much 982 00:46:34,360 --> 00:46:36,760 Speaker 2: he's pulled back. In my whole monologue is about tariffs, 983 00:46:36,760 --> 00:46:39,680 Speaker 2: and I dig into a small business owner who imports 984 00:46:39,680 --> 00:46:41,960 Speaker 2: her product from China. She actually wanted to import it 985 00:46:41,960 --> 00:46:44,160 Speaker 2: from the United Issue, or wanted to produce it in 986 00:46:44,160 --> 00:46:47,840 Speaker 2: the United States. It just was literally impossible, and the 987 00:46:47,880 --> 00:46:50,560 Speaker 2: one hundred and forty five percent China terrors they will 988 00:46:50,600 --> 00:46:53,640 Speaker 2: destroy her business, Like there is no way, no way 989 00:46:54,160 --> 00:46:57,360 Speaker 2: that she can survive, and she is one of many. 990 00:46:57,880 --> 00:47:01,320 Speaker 2: So But even if Trump rolls back on even more 991 00:47:01,360 --> 00:47:03,880 Speaker 2: of the tariffs and makes all these deals and declares 992 00:47:03,960 --> 00:47:06,920 Speaker 2: victory art of the deal, whatever, I do think in 993 00:47:06,960 --> 00:47:08,719 Speaker 2: a lot of ways, the damage has already been done. 994 00:47:08,760 --> 00:47:11,040 Speaker 2: And I do think it is somewhat analogous too. Even 995 00:47:11,080 --> 00:47:15,000 Speaker 2: though I still support Biden having gotten out of Afghanistan, 996 00:47:15,239 --> 00:47:17,520 Speaker 2: there's just no denying that there was a massive hit 997 00:47:17,520 --> 00:47:19,920 Speaker 2: to his approvot he never recovered from. And I do 998 00:47:19,960 --> 00:47:22,200 Speaker 2: think it's analogous like the honeymoon is over for Trump, 999 00:47:22,400 --> 00:47:27,600 Speaker 2: the vibe shift has vibe shifted again, and the economic 1000 00:47:28,200 --> 00:47:30,800 Speaker 2: damage that is being done right now in this moment, 1001 00:47:31,200 --> 00:47:34,400 Speaker 2: with this level of uncertainty and people feeling like business 1002 00:47:34,440 --> 00:47:36,520 Speaker 2: is feeling like I can't do. I just got to 1003 00:47:36,600 --> 00:47:39,279 Speaker 2: like hold on to cash and freeze in place and 1004 00:47:39,360 --> 00:47:43,120 Speaker 2: hope I can survive this totally unnecessary tumult that is 1005 00:47:43,160 --> 00:47:46,200 Speaker 2: not going to be undone no matter what Trump announces today, tomorrow, 1006 00:47:46,280 --> 00:47:47,160 Speaker 2: the next day, et cetera. 1007 00:47:47,320 --> 00:47:50,960 Speaker 1: What serious person, CEO, even if the administration came out 1008 00:47:51,000 --> 00:47:52,680 Speaker 1: tomorrow and was like, this is our plan for the 1009 00:47:52,680 --> 00:47:56,680 Speaker 1: next four years, what serious person would actually invest based 1010 00:47:56,760 --> 00:47:59,160 Speaker 1: upon that confidence? Serious I said that, Yes, I don't know. 1011 00:47:59,160 --> 00:48:00,759 Speaker 1: If you caught this, I was, I would short the 1012 00:48:00,760 --> 00:48:01,560 Speaker 1: stock of anybody. 1013 00:48:01,600 --> 00:48:05,239 Speaker 2: Yeah, you were like, I would a fire, I would vote. 1014 00:48:05,080 --> 00:48:07,359 Speaker 1: To fire that CEO. I'd be like, no, we're not 1015 00:48:07,400 --> 00:48:10,319 Speaker 1: doing this. You clearly have no judgment, dude. You need 1016 00:48:10,360 --> 00:48:14,240 Speaker 1: to keep hoard the cash and do nothing, absolutely nothing. 1017 00:48:14,840 --> 00:48:18,160 Speaker 1: Don't take too big of a risk. And that's because 1018 00:48:18,440 --> 00:48:22,320 Speaker 1: there's no confidence, you know. And what drives me nuts 1019 00:48:22,360 --> 00:48:26,000 Speaker 1: about this too, is that it's clear that people are 1020 00:48:26,000 --> 00:48:29,200 Speaker 1: not even still paying attention to the tax legislation, which 1021 00:48:29,239 --> 00:48:31,920 Speaker 1: still has to come out later on this year, and 1022 00:48:32,360 --> 00:48:36,000 Speaker 1: there is no really positive sign for Donald Trump in 1023 00:48:36,080 --> 00:48:38,880 Speaker 1: the next I would say nine months. We have the 1024 00:48:38,920 --> 00:48:41,360 Speaker 1: tariffs that is going to dominate the news elon and 1025 00:48:41,360 --> 00:48:44,080 Speaker 1: all that does is basically, I mean, it's still around, 1026 00:48:44,120 --> 00:48:46,319 Speaker 1: but it's not really like the number one concern. So 1027 00:48:46,320 --> 00:48:48,319 Speaker 1: you've got this immigration stuff, a front page story on 1028 00:48:48,400 --> 00:48:51,719 Speaker 1: literally every across the paper at every country. Probably the 1029 00:48:51,800 --> 00:48:53,640 Speaker 1: number one thing that most people hear about if they 1030 00:48:53,640 --> 00:48:56,120 Speaker 1: are politically engaged, Tariffs is going to be number one, 1031 00:48:56,160 --> 00:48:59,319 Speaker 1: and or number two that they're generally who are who 1032 00:48:59,320 --> 00:49:03,160 Speaker 1: they're generally in gaging with. Well, what else is on 1033 00:49:03,200 --> 00:49:06,520 Speaker 1: the horizon? The only next major thing that we can 1034 00:49:06,560 --> 00:49:10,480 Speaker 1: predict on the horizon is the tax legislation. We know 1035 00:49:10,520 --> 00:49:12,960 Speaker 1: from baseline the tax legtion is gonna be crazy unpopular. 1036 00:49:13,080 --> 00:49:15,520 Speaker 1: There's no there's not even an argument about it's just period, 1037 00:49:15,680 --> 00:49:18,120 Speaker 1: and most Republicans will admit that with a straight face. 1038 00:49:18,320 --> 00:49:21,560 Speaker 1: There's really nothing you can do. And also Trump said 1039 00:49:21,600 --> 00:49:24,120 Speaker 1: I want to cut a trillion dollars, So it's kind 1040 00:49:24,120 --> 00:49:26,880 Speaker 1: of like with Biden where we can look ahead to 1041 00:49:27,080 --> 00:49:29,000 Speaker 1: whatever is going to come next. We know no major 1042 00:49:29,000 --> 00:49:30,920 Speaker 1: piece of legislation in the pass the Senate or the 1043 00:49:30,920 --> 00:49:33,560 Speaker 1: House of Representatives before this tax bill. We know that 1044 00:49:33,600 --> 00:49:35,839 Speaker 1: it has to happen in the next several months. So 1045 00:49:35,880 --> 00:49:38,960 Speaker 1: the next flagship piece of legislation after this whole economy 1046 00:49:39,160 --> 00:49:41,799 Speaker 1: and tariff situation is going to be a major tax 1047 00:49:41,840 --> 00:49:45,279 Speaker 1: cut for corporations and a trillion dollar According to them, 1048 00:49:45,320 --> 00:49:47,040 Speaker 1: it's not my words. They said, I want to cut 1049 00:49:47,040 --> 00:49:49,400 Speaker 1: one trillion dollars and I want to increase the Pentagon 1050 00:49:49,440 --> 00:49:51,880 Speaker 1: budget by one hundred and fifty billion dollars, which just 1051 00:49:51,880 --> 00:49:53,440 Speaker 1: so happens to be the exact amount of money that 1052 00:49:53,520 --> 00:49:56,000 Speaker 1: Elon now claves that dough has to be saved. So 1053 00:49:56,600 --> 00:49:58,520 Speaker 1: what are we doing here? You know, what's the net 1054 00:49:58,520 --> 00:50:00,960 Speaker 1: out effect of this? You would be forgiven to be 1055 00:50:01,000 --> 00:50:03,279 Speaker 1: pretty pessimistic about that whole situation, wouldn't you. 1056 00:50:03,320 --> 00:50:08,719 Speaker 2: Any lune flying about those savings. 1057 00:50:06,719 --> 00:50:11,200 Speaker 1: Even at bakes value completely. But I'm saying from an 1058 00:50:11,239 --> 00:50:15,640 Speaker 1: approval rating standpoint, the TCJA, the tax cuts and job 1059 00:50:15,719 --> 00:50:18,360 Speaker 1: zack was the lowest single day of Donaldsham's presidency in 1060 00:50:18,400 --> 00:50:21,160 Speaker 1: the first term. The lowest day. Again, everybody always forgets 1061 00:50:21,200 --> 00:50:23,839 Speaker 1: that people do pay attention sometimes. I think that will 1062 00:50:23,840 --> 00:50:26,319 Speaker 1: happen again this time around, and it will be a 1063 00:50:26,360 --> 00:50:30,080 Speaker 1: Biden like compounding effect of either bailing out the rich, 1064 00:50:30,400 --> 00:50:33,840 Speaker 1: feeling chaotic, not really having a steady hand at the wheel. 1065 00:50:34,000 --> 00:50:36,759 Speaker 1: So you can see on approval on approval grounds, on 1066 00:50:36,840 --> 00:50:39,080 Speaker 1: the economy, and more. The more you lose that, I mean, 1067 00:50:39,120 --> 00:50:40,759 Speaker 1: you and I have said this. Nobody knows what will 1068 00:50:40,760 --> 00:50:42,960 Speaker 1: happen at the midterms, okay, And of course nobody knows 1069 00:50:43,000 --> 00:50:45,440 Speaker 1: what happen in global affairs. Trump could literally I don't know, 1070 00:50:45,480 --> 00:50:47,279 Speaker 1: there could be a crazy pieced in Ukraine. There could 1071 00:50:47,320 --> 00:50:49,200 Speaker 1: be this new ceasfire and goudz. There's so many different 1072 00:50:49,239 --> 00:50:51,000 Speaker 1: things that could affect it. But in terms of what 1073 00:50:51,040 --> 00:50:53,880 Speaker 1: we can predict, that's what we see on the horizon 1074 00:50:54,239 --> 00:50:56,560 Speaker 1: as something that is very obvious for his approval rating, 1075 00:50:56,719 --> 00:50:58,040 Speaker 1: that is not going to go over well. 1076 00:50:58,160 --> 00:50:59,799 Speaker 2: Yeah, And the last thing I want to note here 1077 00:51:00,160 --> 00:51:02,560 Speaker 2: b three up on the screen Trump's approval rating with 1078 00:51:02,600 --> 00:51:06,480 Speaker 2: young people. People were very excited about Trump performing better 1079 00:51:06,560 --> 00:51:10,840 Speaker 2: among young people. It's one pole, small sample, who knows, okay, 1080 00:51:10,880 --> 00:51:13,879 Speaker 2: But look at the way among eighteen to twenty nine 1081 00:51:13,920 --> 00:51:17,480 Speaker 2: year olds. His approval rating has fallen off a frickin 1082 00:51:18,000 --> 00:51:20,640 Speaker 2: cliff around the time he got elected. You can see 1083 00:51:20,680 --> 00:51:24,000 Speaker 2: him in solidly positive territory. You know, there's been a 1084 00:51:24,040 --> 00:51:26,560 Speaker 2: decline among other age groups except those forty five to 1085 00:51:26,600 --> 00:51:28,919 Speaker 2: sixty four year olds. Actually they're kind of those gen xers. 1086 00:51:28,920 --> 00:51:31,040 Speaker 2: They're kind of hanging in there, aren't they. But among 1087 00:51:31,080 --> 00:51:33,919 Speaker 2: eighteen to twenty nine year olds it has plummeted. Now 1088 00:51:34,040 --> 00:51:37,480 Speaker 2: at its lowest levels, looks like minus thirty some, oh, 1089 00:51:37,480 --> 00:51:41,520 Speaker 2: minus twenty nine here among eighteen to twenty nine year olds. So, 1090 00:51:42,120 --> 00:51:45,200 Speaker 2: you know, all of these hopeful takes about how you 1091 00:51:45,200 --> 00:51:47,400 Speaker 2: know the young people are going to be they're going 1092 00:51:47,440 --> 00:51:49,839 Speaker 2: to be shifting right and they're super conservative and they 1093 00:51:49,840 --> 00:51:52,759 Speaker 2: love Donald Trump, that all seems to be evaporating very 1094 00:51:52,840 --> 00:51:53,719 Speaker 2: quickly in real time. 1095 00:51:53,960 --> 00:51:57,359 Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean, like I said, you never know these 1096 00:51:57,360 --> 00:52:01,520 Speaker 1: polls and all that ahead to the election. But I 1097 00:52:01,600 --> 00:52:04,239 Speaker 1: do think instead of looking at the poll, let me 1098 00:52:04,239 --> 00:52:07,799 Speaker 1: think about the fundamentals. What are young folks tuned into. 1099 00:52:07,920 --> 00:52:10,880 Speaker 1: What was the whole vibe shift about on TikTok and others. 1100 00:52:11,080 --> 00:52:14,360 Speaker 1: It was about irreverence, specifically for young men. It was 1101 00:52:14,400 --> 00:52:17,040 Speaker 1: more of a cultural attitude right now is not a 1102 00:52:17,040 --> 00:52:19,600 Speaker 1: cultural moment. Right now is one of the rare times 1103 00:52:19,800 --> 00:52:22,319 Speaker 1: in American history where it's actually a policy moment. It's 1104 00:52:22,320 --> 00:52:25,480 Speaker 1: about tariffs, it's about immigration. Those are real things, and 1105 00:52:25,520 --> 00:52:28,759 Speaker 1: it's not really about pronouns and bios or you know, 1106 00:52:28,840 --> 00:52:30,920 Speaker 1: any of that other stuff right now. I think Richard 1107 00:52:30,920 --> 00:52:33,000 Speaker 1: Hanania said he's like, it feels indecent to be talking 1108 00:52:33,040 --> 00:52:34,600 Speaker 1: about wokeness right now, and I was like, you know, 1109 00:52:34,680 --> 00:52:38,759 Speaker 1: that's actually very belief. That is an absolutely correct observation. 1110 00:52:38,840 --> 00:52:40,919 Speaker 3: Well, sorry, god, no, no, that's fine. 1111 00:52:40,920 --> 00:52:42,520 Speaker 1: I was just gonna say, it's not they're not in 1112 00:52:42,560 --> 00:52:46,480 Speaker 1: power anymore. They're gone. We have a different arm. Yeah. Also, 1113 00:52:46,760 --> 00:52:50,319 Speaker 1: whoever runs for president next, I have relative confidence they're 1114 00:52:50,320 --> 00:52:52,120 Speaker 1: not going to be having their pronouns in bio. Right, 1115 00:52:52,200 --> 00:52:55,359 Speaker 1: So we won, all right, congratulations. Yeah. I don't think 1116 00:52:55,360 --> 00:52:57,080 Speaker 1: trans athletes are gonna end up in the d one 1117 00:52:57,280 --> 00:52:59,280 Speaker 1: at this point anymore. They probably have learned their lesson. 1118 00:52:59,400 --> 00:53:01,320 Speaker 1: If they haven't, and they're idiots, but that's their you 1119 00:53:01,400 --> 00:53:04,759 Speaker 1: know whatever. My point is, just like those fights are over, 1120 00:53:05,040 --> 00:53:07,600 Speaker 1: so in a certain sense that culture has been won. 1121 00:53:07,719 --> 00:53:14,000 Speaker 1: Now we're talking about money, future immigration, like actual stuff 1122 00:53:14,360 --> 00:53:16,920 Speaker 1: and on that. First of all, TikTok and all of 1123 00:53:16,920 --> 00:53:18,920 Speaker 1: that is not very well equipped in my opinion, to 1124 00:53:19,000 --> 00:53:20,680 Speaker 1: handle a lot of those issues. And so you know, 1125 00:53:20,840 --> 00:53:23,600 Speaker 1: even TikTok is elevating some of the most anti TERRFF voices, 1126 00:53:23,640 --> 00:53:26,160 Speaker 1: which is very bad for Trump ironically because he's trying 1127 00:53:26,200 --> 00:53:29,400 Speaker 1: to save it. But the vibe right now is not 1128 00:53:29,560 --> 00:53:34,680 Speaker 1: one where Republicans are best poised to win because outside 1129 00:53:34,800 --> 00:53:39,520 Speaker 1: of genuine like maga sycophants, can you find a serious 1130 00:53:39,560 --> 00:53:42,560 Speaker 1: person who is defending the tariffs? No, we got. The 1131 00:53:42,560 --> 00:53:47,560 Speaker 1: closest we got was Oron and Orange. Yeah, yeah, exactly. 1132 00:53:47,640 --> 00:53:50,160 Speaker 2: He just he doesn't want to, you know, completely throw 1133 00:53:50,239 --> 00:53:51,479 Speaker 2: terrorists under the bus, right. 1134 00:53:51,400 --> 00:53:53,799 Speaker 3: But that's all he got very clear. This is not 1135 00:53:53,920 --> 00:53:55,239 Speaker 3: the way orn Cass would have done. 1136 00:53:55,280 --> 00:53:57,759 Speaker 1: No, yeah exactly. So you have no serious when you 1137 00:53:57,800 --> 00:54:00,840 Speaker 1: have we have nothing like that. Somebody can really articulate 1138 00:54:00,880 --> 00:54:03,680 Speaker 1: your case all that well, And then this whole trends 1139 00:54:03,760 --> 00:54:07,000 Speaker 1: and pronoun stuff, it's just so like it almost feels 1140 00:54:07,000 --> 00:54:10,040 Speaker 1: like a bygone era. You're fighting on very different grounds. 1141 00:54:10,120 --> 00:54:10,319 Speaker 3: Yeah. 1142 00:54:10,320 --> 00:54:12,960 Speaker 2: Well, and if you think about I mean, millennials are 1143 00:54:12,960 --> 00:54:17,319 Speaker 2: the most left wing generation like maybe in history, and 1144 00:54:17,360 --> 00:54:20,400 Speaker 2: you think about what were their formative experiences. It was 1145 00:54:20,440 --> 00:54:24,200 Speaker 2: the Iraq War, and it was the Great Recession. You know, 1146 00:54:24,239 --> 00:54:27,320 Speaker 2: it was people coming out of college to an economic 1147 00:54:27,440 --> 00:54:31,120 Speaker 2: catastrophe and the way that set that set the entire 1148 00:54:31,200 --> 00:54:36,080 Speaker 2: generation back significantly in terms of being able to achieve 1149 00:54:36,160 --> 00:54:38,640 Speaker 2: the milestones that their parents had been able to achieve, 1150 00:54:38,760 --> 00:54:41,560 Speaker 2: you know, family and being able to get married and 1151 00:54:41,600 --> 00:54:43,640 Speaker 2: being able to buy a house. Those sorts of things 1152 00:54:43,880 --> 00:54:47,440 Speaker 2: were all pushed into the future because of the economic 1153 00:54:47,480 --> 00:54:50,120 Speaker 2: calamity that met millennials when they were you know, just 1154 00:54:50,480 --> 00:54:53,400 Speaker 2: coming into the workforce and graduating from college, et cetera. 1155 00:54:53,560 --> 00:54:56,480 Speaker 2: And so if you have a similar dynamic with gen Z, 1156 00:54:56,640 --> 00:54:58,200 Speaker 2: I don't think they're going to be in love with 1157 00:54:58,239 --> 00:55:01,160 Speaker 2: the party that is in power while all of that 1158 00:55:01,280 --> 00:55:01,800 Speaker 2: is happening. 1159 00:55:04,480 --> 00:55:06,120 Speaker 3: Let's go and shift to terroristor. 1160 00:55:06,120 --> 00:55:10,520 Speaker 2: We have some new new news this morning about China's retaliation. 1161 00:55:10,960 --> 00:55:13,319 Speaker 2: They have halted all gone and put this up on 1162 00:55:13,320 --> 00:55:18,120 Speaker 2: the screen. They have halted all shipments of Boeing products. 1163 00:55:18,200 --> 00:55:22,480 Speaker 2: They're ordering Boeing jet delivery to be halted as the 1164 00:55:22,520 --> 00:55:25,160 Speaker 2: trade war expands. Boeing I saw it was down on 1165 00:55:25,239 --> 00:55:28,280 Speaker 2: this news and before we jumped to the auto piece saga, 1166 00:55:28,320 --> 00:55:30,160 Speaker 2: why don't you just go ahead and break down what 1167 00:55:30,200 --> 00:55:31,480 Speaker 2: you see as significant about this. 1168 00:55:31,640 --> 00:55:35,480 Speaker 1: Well advanced aerospace manufacturing and air that was one of 1169 00:55:35,560 --> 00:55:38,360 Speaker 1: the gold standards where the United States still had somewhat 1170 00:55:38,440 --> 00:55:41,000 Speaker 1: of a leg up. The Chinese over the last decade 1171 00:55:41,160 --> 00:55:45,680 Speaker 1: have pumped billions and billions of dollars into being able 1172 00:55:45,719 --> 00:55:48,240 Speaker 1: to develop their own competitor to Airbus and to Boeing. 1173 00:55:48,440 --> 00:55:51,680 Speaker 1: They don't want their airline or aerospace industry to be 1174 00:55:51,800 --> 00:55:55,480 Speaker 1: reliant on US supply chains and design specifically, So the 1175 00:55:55,520 --> 00:55:59,239 Speaker 1: reduction in Boeing is two things. First of all, as 1176 00:55:59,239 --> 00:56:02,200 Speaker 1: of twenty twenty five, I quote, China accounts for twenty 1177 00:56:02,239 --> 00:56:06,040 Speaker 1: to twenty five percent of Boeing's global aircraft deliveries, So 1178 00:56:06,200 --> 00:56:09,000 Speaker 1: the flagship United States aerospace company just took a twenty 1179 00:56:09,000 --> 00:56:12,080 Speaker 1: five percent haircut on its overall delivery of corporate jets. 1180 00:56:12,080 --> 00:56:14,880 Speaker 1: So that's number one. Number two is that the Airbus 1181 00:56:15,000 --> 00:56:18,200 Speaker 1: stock is soaring right now, which further means that Airbus 1182 00:56:18,200 --> 00:56:22,480 Speaker 1: the major European competitor and frankly much better safety record. 1183 00:56:22,480 --> 00:56:24,279 Speaker 1: Can we all admit that in the last decade or 1184 00:56:24,320 --> 00:56:27,560 Speaker 1: so is one that's going to be the major beneficiary. Meanwhile, 1185 00:56:27,600 --> 00:56:30,399 Speaker 1: the Chinese are also going to be pumping significant, even 1186 00:56:30,520 --> 00:56:34,919 Speaker 1: more amounts of the technology development into their industry at home. 1187 00:56:35,000 --> 00:56:37,920 Speaker 1: So this is an alignment against the United States. This 1188 00:56:38,000 --> 00:56:40,479 Speaker 1: is part of why I'm so upset about the quote 1189 00:56:40,480 --> 00:56:43,960 Speaker 1: implementation of all of these tariffs. In an ideal tariff regime, 1190 00:56:44,200 --> 00:56:49,240 Speaker 1: we want Boeing to thrive. Boeing should be the flagship 1191 00:56:49,480 --> 00:56:52,200 Speaker 1: of America's industry in the way that it was in 1192 00:56:52,239 --> 00:56:54,680 Speaker 1: the nineteen forties and all the way through the nineteen seventies, 1193 00:56:54,680 --> 00:56:58,920 Speaker 1: before deregulation and combination and stock buybacks and all of 1194 00:56:58,920 --> 00:57:01,000 Speaker 1: that other it was a goal standard. It was like 1195 00:57:01,080 --> 00:57:04,080 Speaker 1: something that everyone could aspire to from a jobs perspective 1196 00:57:04,120 --> 00:57:06,520 Speaker 1: and producing and this is the best thing, the most 1197 00:57:06,560 --> 00:57:09,600 Speaker 1: important in the best products. Already we've moved away from that, 1198 00:57:10,280 --> 00:57:13,040 Speaker 1: but despite legacy, of course, they're still able to develop 1199 00:57:13,080 --> 00:57:15,479 Speaker 1: and to pump out quite a few to be cut 1200 00:57:15,520 --> 00:57:18,000 Speaker 1: off in the interim. There is no plan by the 1201 00:57:18,000 --> 00:57:20,920 Speaker 1: government today to save Boeing. And look, I get it. 1202 00:57:20,960 --> 00:57:23,040 Speaker 1: You know, people are animist towards Boeing. We've talked about 1203 00:57:23,040 --> 00:57:25,320 Speaker 1: the whistleblowers, et cetera. We can still reform. It's still 1204 00:57:25,400 --> 00:57:28,240 Speaker 1: very important. We need an aerospace company. Can we all 1205 00:57:28,280 --> 00:57:30,680 Speaker 1: admit that we need to fly people. You know, we 1206 00:57:30,720 --> 00:57:33,160 Speaker 1: can't be reliant on the Europeans and on the Brazilians 1207 00:57:33,360 --> 00:57:35,280 Speaker 1: to be shipping US jets that are flying us all 1208 00:57:35,280 --> 00:57:37,919 Speaker 1: over our country. Not possible in terms of any sort 1209 00:57:37,920 --> 00:57:41,000 Speaker 1: of defense industrial base. So this is the exact scenario 1210 00:57:41,200 --> 00:57:44,960 Speaker 1: where Boeing flagship American advanced manufacturing, the exact type of 1211 00:57:45,000 --> 00:57:47,760 Speaker 1: industry is taking a haircut as a result of the tariff, 1212 00:57:47,880 --> 00:57:50,760 Speaker 1: with no plan to actually help Boeing do anything in 1213 00:57:50,760 --> 00:57:51,160 Speaker 1: the future. 1214 00:57:51,200 --> 00:57:51,680 Speaker 3: And it's awesome. 1215 00:57:51,720 --> 00:57:52,880 Speaker 1: That's the problem that we have. 1216 00:57:53,080 --> 00:57:55,640 Speaker 2: And China gets kind of kills you birds with one 1217 00:57:55,640 --> 00:57:58,080 Speaker 2: stone here because not only do they hobble a critical 1218 00:57:58,160 --> 00:58:01,600 Speaker 2: industry for us, but they also bolster the Europeans at 1219 00:58:01,600 --> 00:58:04,040 Speaker 2: a time when you know, again, if you were going 1220 00:58:04,080 --> 00:58:06,160 Speaker 2: to do this intelligently and you were going to try 1221 00:58:06,160 --> 00:58:08,560 Speaker 2: to go directly at China, you would want to have 1222 00:58:08,600 --> 00:58:11,200 Speaker 2: the world on your side. You would rather than being 1223 00:58:11,240 --> 00:58:13,680 Speaker 2: out there insulting people and throwing tarras all around at 1224 00:58:13,680 --> 00:58:16,520 Speaker 2: everybody across the board, et cetera. And so this is 1225 00:58:16,560 --> 00:58:20,400 Speaker 2: an opportunity also for China to give the Europeans something 1226 00:58:20,400 --> 00:58:23,720 Speaker 2: that is beneficial for them as well. At the same time, 1227 00:58:23,760 --> 00:58:27,200 Speaker 2: the tariff roller coaster is far from over. President Trump now, 1228 00:58:27,480 --> 00:58:31,200 Speaker 2: in addition to the exemptions of various high tech things 1229 00:58:31,200 --> 00:58:34,840 Speaker 2: that benefit like Apple and Nvidia, now he's also considering 1230 00:58:34,960 --> 00:58:38,280 Speaker 2: some possible exemptions with regard to the auto terrists. 1231 00:58:38,320 --> 00:58:39,560 Speaker 3: Let's go ahead and listen to that. 1232 00:58:40,000 --> 00:58:42,600 Speaker 5: So President Trump says that car makers might need a 1233 00:58:42,600 --> 00:58:45,000 Speaker 5: little bit more time. When he was asked about any 1234 00:58:45,120 --> 00:58:48,400 Speaker 5: potential exemptions coming in the future, he added that he's 1235 00:58:48,440 --> 00:58:50,760 Speaker 5: looking at something to help the car companies where they're 1236 00:58:50,800 --> 00:58:54,000 Speaker 5: switching parts that were made in Canada and Mexico to 1237 00:58:54,120 --> 00:58:56,200 Speaker 5: the US. Of course, a big push of President Trump's 1238 00:58:56,280 --> 00:58:59,480 Speaker 5: terrrist plan is to reshore production. But that's been particularly 1239 00:58:59,560 --> 00:59:02,520 Speaker 5: difficult four car makers were, particularly when we're looking at 1240 00:59:02,600 --> 00:59:06,560 Speaker 5: the USMCA Complyiant Goods North America trade between Canada and Mexico, 1241 00:59:06,800 --> 00:59:11,080 Speaker 5: considering that car parts passed between the border so many times. 1242 00:59:11,120 --> 00:59:14,720 Speaker 5: So one, we have the current Canada and Mexico tariffs 1243 00:59:14,760 --> 00:59:17,760 Speaker 5: that are in place, but also those auto specific sector 1244 00:59:17,840 --> 00:59:20,840 Speaker 5: tariffs that went into place last month under Section two 1245 00:59:20,880 --> 00:59:23,120 Speaker 5: thirty two, where we saw a twenty five percent auto 1246 00:59:23,160 --> 00:59:25,560 Speaker 5: tariff across the board. So it does appear that President 1247 00:59:25,560 --> 00:59:28,760 Speaker 5: Trump is opening up a little leeway here potentially for 1248 00:59:28,960 --> 00:59:31,360 Speaker 5: negotiations to get underway. We know that the Big three 1249 00:59:31,360 --> 00:59:34,400 Speaker 5: auto makers in particular, have been lobbying this White House 1250 00:59:34,440 --> 00:59:36,760 Speaker 5: for months. You'll a call during President Trump State of 1251 00:59:36,800 --> 00:59:39,720 Speaker 5: the Union address in February. He had said that they 1252 00:59:39,720 --> 00:59:41,520 Speaker 5: were in his office and they called him. That's when 1253 00:59:41,520 --> 00:59:44,760 Speaker 5: he announced that initial reprieve, but then ended up putting 1254 00:59:44,760 --> 00:59:45,480 Speaker 5: those tariffs on. 1255 00:59:46,160 --> 00:59:48,480 Speaker 2: And so again this shows you the way this works. 1256 00:59:48,640 --> 00:59:50,680 Speaker 2: The Big three automakers, they're able to get him on 1257 00:59:50,680 --> 00:59:52,360 Speaker 2: the phone. They're able to say, hey, this is going 1258 00:59:52,440 --> 00:59:54,840 Speaker 2: to be a freaking disaster for us because these parts 1259 00:59:54,840 --> 00:59:58,200 Speaker 2: across the border multiple times. The cost of a vehicle 1260 00:59:58,280 --> 01:00:01,120 Speaker 2: is going to skyrocket like tens of thousands of dollars 1261 01:00:01,120 --> 01:00:04,000 Speaker 2: if these actually go into place. And so he hears 1262 01:00:04,040 --> 01:00:08,720 Speaker 2: them out and is potentially walking back temporarily some of 1263 01:00:08,760 --> 01:00:11,120 Speaker 2: the Oh but they're not exemption Soccer, don't worry some 1264 01:00:11,160 --> 01:00:12,360 Speaker 2: of the auto tariffs. 1265 01:00:12,520 --> 01:00:16,360 Speaker 1: Yeah, this is again you know what what's happening. The 1266 01:00:16,440 --> 01:00:19,080 Speaker 1: tariffs are on, they're off, they're twenty percent, they're twenty 1267 01:00:19,120 --> 01:00:21,720 Speaker 1: five percent. Now they're exempted, and maybe they're not exempted. 1268 01:00:21,760 --> 01:00:25,040 Speaker 1: There's the USMCA. They're spent in all time. Nobody has 1269 01:00:25,360 --> 01:00:28,880 Speaker 1: any idea and what most people are doing, and I'm 1270 01:00:28,880 --> 01:00:31,880 Speaker 1: telling you this is obvious. They're just stopping all shipping 1271 01:00:32,160 --> 01:00:35,000 Speaker 1: anything coming to America. They're like, hold it over there 1272 01:00:35,120 --> 01:00:37,280 Speaker 1: and we'll figure it out. Go ahead and put C 1273 01:00:37,480 --> 01:00:39,280 Speaker 1: three please up on the screen so you guys can 1274 01:00:39,320 --> 01:00:41,480 Speaker 1: see this. This is the week over week drop in 1275 01:00:41,560 --> 01:00:45,640 Speaker 1: ocean bookings fifty percent. Overall US imports down sixty four percent, 1276 01:00:45,840 --> 01:00:48,720 Speaker 1: Overall US exports down thirty percent, US imports from China 1277 01:00:48,720 --> 01:00:51,400 Speaker 1: down sixty four percent, US exports from to China down 1278 01:00:51,520 --> 01:00:53,840 Speaker 1: thirty six percent. That's just in a week. Okay, it 1279 01:00:53,920 --> 01:00:57,400 Speaker 1: could fall to one hundred inventory. Does anybody remember this 1280 01:00:57,440 --> 01:01:00,000 Speaker 1: little term called just in time delivery that we all 1281 01:01:00,080 --> 01:01:03,160 Speaker 1: learned about during COVID? Did anything change? Does anyone want 1282 01:01:03,160 --> 01:01:05,640 Speaker 1: to tell me did anything change in the last five years? No, 1283 01:01:05,800 --> 01:01:08,600 Speaker 1: it didn't. It actually got worse. And so what does 1284 01:01:08,640 --> 01:01:11,920 Speaker 1: that mean? It means that we don't have like, we 1285 01:01:11,960 --> 01:01:14,920 Speaker 1: don't have stockpiles. We talked yesterday a lot about rare 1286 01:01:14,960 --> 01:01:17,880 Speaker 1: earth minerals, still a very important conversation. What did we 1287 01:01:17,960 --> 01:01:21,040 Speaker 1: learn from the rare earth mineral discussion is that American companies, 1288 01:01:21,080 --> 01:01:23,680 Speaker 1: basically because they run on a cash on a stock basis, 1289 01:01:23,880 --> 01:01:26,280 Speaker 1: refuse to stock up. We don't have a supply chain, 1290 01:01:26,440 --> 01:01:29,800 Speaker 1: we have no refining ability, we have no ability basically 1291 01:01:29,800 --> 01:01:31,760 Speaker 1: to make up for this in the overnight way that 1292 01:01:31,840 --> 01:01:34,160 Speaker 1: China has cut us off from it. It will obviously 1293 01:01:34,240 --> 01:01:37,280 Speaker 1: have cascading effects throughout our supply chain. A lot of 1294 01:01:37,280 --> 01:01:40,560 Speaker 1: this stuff matters, especially for cars, for batteries. It's a 1295 01:01:40,600 --> 01:01:43,480 Speaker 1: full court press the Chinese. Again, I have to respect 1296 01:01:43,480 --> 01:01:45,800 Speaker 1: them and their competence. They know exactly where to hit 1297 01:01:45,840 --> 01:01:48,439 Speaker 1: us hard. The number one industry we care the most 1298 01:01:48,440 --> 01:01:52,240 Speaker 1: about is aerospace advanced manufacturing. That's like gold standard for 1299 01:01:52,280 --> 01:01:54,560 Speaker 1: the defense industrial base. So what do you do? Screw 1300 01:01:54,600 --> 01:01:58,280 Speaker 1: you Boeing? Before that, semiconductors, make sure you cut off 1301 01:01:58,320 --> 01:02:00,280 Speaker 1: all the minerals that you need. There. Hope the South 1302 01:02:00,320 --> 01:02:02,160 Speaker 1: Koreans and the Japanese can bail us out. From who 1303 01:02:02,240 --> 01:02:04,560 Speaker 1: people I've spoken to, they have stock poles of their own, 1304 01:02:04,600 --> 01:02:06,520 Speaker 1: but they don't necessarily want to sell it to us. Now, 1305 01:02:06,520 --> 01:02:09,160 Speaker 1: what do you do? Semiconductors and then cars? That was 1306 01:02:09,200 --> 01:02:11,880 Speaker 1: the final one for magnets and other things that are necessary. 1307 01:02:12,000 --> 01:02:13,960 Speaker 1: That is a direct attack by the way, at Tesla 1308 01:02:14,000 --> 01:02:16,600 Speaker 1: stock because they need those to be able to build 1309 01:02:16,760 --> 01:02:18,800 Speaker 1: all of the cars that they do here in America. 1310 01:02:18,840 --> 01:02:21,520 Speaker 1: All three of the things are targeting the growth industries, 1311 01:02:21,680 --> 01:02:24,120 Speaker 1: the manufacturing industries, and the exact type of things that 1312 01:02:24,160 --> 01:02:26,200 Speaker 1: we can point to and say, this is how tariffs 1313 01:02:26,240 --> 01:02:28,280 Speaker 1: could be working and could be saving, and that's what 1314 01:02:28,320 --> 01:02:30,680 Speaker 1: they're attacking, and we have no policy right now to 1315 01:02:30,720 --> 01:02:32,280 Speaker 1: actually help any of it on the back end. 1316 01:02:32,280 --> 01:02:35,160 Speaker 3: That's exactly right. So Interestingly, Sean Faint, who's. 1317 01:02:34,960 --> 01:02:37,800 Speaker 2: The head of the United Auto Workers, he has been 1318 01:02:37,840 --> 01:02:43,000 Speaker 2: defending the tariffs. You know, he'll say, I'm not just 1319 01:02:43,080 --> 01:02:45,360 Speaker 2: with regard I think he tries to make it like 1320 01:02:45,440 --> 01:02:49,040 Speaker 2: just with regards to the auto industry. He recently went 1321 01:02:49,120 --> 01:02:52,760 Speaker 2: on MSNBC. It was one of these panel shows where 1322 01:02:52,760 --> 01:02:56,000 Speaker 2: you've got like AlSi Menandez Simone Sanders and Michael Steele 1323 01:02:56,160 --> 01:02:58,720 Speaker 2: I think, and they're all trying to spar with him 1324 01:02:58,880 --> 01:03:01,360 Speaker 2: over his position with regard to these tariffs. Let's go 1325 01:03:01,360 --> 01:03:03,600 Speaker 2: ahead and take a listen, guys, this is C two 1326 01:03:03,760 --> 01:03:05,280 Speaker 2: to a little bit of how that went down. 1327 01:03:05,680 --> 01:03:08,040 Speaker 6: You know, let's talk about the realities of what you know. 1328 01:03:08,040 --> 01:03:09,560 Speaker 6: And this is the thing, you know, I've been reading 1329 01:03:09,600 --> 01:03:11,840 Speaker 6: a lot of this lately. Going back in nineteen ninety two, 1330 01:03:11,880 --> 01:03:12,520 Speaker 6: I voted. 1331 01:03:12,280 --> 01:03:12,880 Speaker 1: For Ross Pero. 1332 01:03:13,600 --> 01:03:15,840 Speaker 6: You know why I voted for Ross PuO for one 1333 01:03:15,880 --> 01:03:18,680 Speaker 6: reason because he was the only candidate that talked about 1334 01:03:18,680 --> 01:03:21,880 Speaker 6: how devastating NAFTA would be to American jobs and to 1335 01:03:22,000 --> 01:03:25,800 Speaker 6: our manufacturing base. And he talked about that giant sucking sound. 1336 01:03:26,120 --> 01:03:27,880 Speaker 6: You know, I've read this book here in the last week. 1337 01:03:27,920 --> 01:03:31,520 Speaker 6: You know, save your job, save our country. Why NAFTA 1338 01:03:31,600 --> 01:03:32,360 Speaker 6: must be stopped. 1339 01:03:32,360 --> 01:03:32,600 Speaker 4: Now. 1340 01:03:32,960 --> 01:03:36,240 Speaker 6: You know what's interesting since then, Ross pro has become 1341 01:03:36,240 --> 01:03:40,200 Speaker 6: a prophet. Since NAFTA was inception in nineteen ninety three, 1342 01:03:40,440 --> 01:03:44,800 Speaker 6: we've lost ninety thousand manufacturing facilities in this country, millions 1343 01:03:44,840 --> 01:03:47,080 Speaker 6: of jobs. And these weren't, you know, low end jobs. 1344 01:03:47,320 --> 01:03:50,880 Speaker 6: These were jobs that paid decent wages, had good benefits. 1345 01:03:50,560 --> 01:03:53,160 Speaker 3: Retirement secualized. I agree with. 1346 01:03:53,040 --> 01:03:55,040 Speaker 1: You, communities, but here's my thing. 1347 01:03:55,160 --> 01:03:57,880 Speaker 3: But here's NAFTA was after was thirty years. 1348 01:03:57,720 --> 01:04:00,360 Speaker 8: Ago the situation that we are dealing with now, and 1349 01:04:00,400 --> 01:04:01,920 Speaker 8: I agree with you. I'm on the side of the 1350 01:04:01,960 --> 01:04:08,360 Speaker 8: folks that said they this did the American workers wrong. Absolutely, 1351 01:04:08,400 --> 01:04:11,280 Speaker 8: But right now we are dealing with the situation where 1352 01:04:11,760 --> 01:04:14,880 Speaker 8: it's not these are blanket tariffs. We are dealing with 1353 01:04:14,960 --> 01:04:17,400 Speaker 8: situation where manufacturing is not going to come back in 1354 01:04:17,440 --> 01:04:22,040 Speaker 8: two weeks. So what how I'm just I'm really struggling 1355 01:04:22,040 --> 01:04:26,280 Speaker 8: to figure out to understand how UAW has aligned itself 1356 01:04:26,280 --> 01:04:27,080 Speaker 8: with Trump on this. 1357 01:04:27,560 --> 01:04:30,800 Speaker 6: So, first off, NAFTA is still causing us to lose 1358 01:04:30,880 --> 01:04:33,720 Speaker 6: jobs in this country. Our broken trade system is still 1359 01:04:33,760 --> 01:04:36,200 Speaker 6: causing us to lose jobs in this country, and no 1360 01:04:36,240 --> 01:04:40,120 Speaker 6: one from either party has been willing to even address 1361 01:04:40,160 --> 01:04:42,240 Speaker 6: the issue for thirty plus years. 1362 01:04:42,240 --> 01:04:43,040 Speaker 1: That's the first thing. 1363 01:04:44,040 --> 01:04:46,760 Speaker 6: And we support tariffs as a tool, a tool in 1364 01:04:46,800 --> 01:04:49,480 Speaker 6: the toolbox, not the end all be all. We got 1365 01:04:49,480 --> 01:04:52,160 Speaker 6: to fix the broken trade system, but tariffs are a 1366 01:04:52,200 --> 01:04:54,800 Speaker 6: motivator to make these companies do the right thing. When 1367 01:04:54,800 --> 01:04:58,120 Speaker 6: we're talking auto, I can't speak for you know, penguins 1368 01:04:58,120 --> 01:05:01,200 Speaker 6: and all this other crazy stuff going on, but I'll 1369 01:05:01,240 --> 01:05:04,440 Speaker 6: speak to what I know, and you know, when we 1370 01:05:04,480 --> 01:05:07,480 Speaker 6: talk about parts, there's an exclusion for parts sector right now. 1371 01:05:07,560 --> 01:05:10,840 Speaker 6: The reason there's this exclusion is because we've been talking 1372 01:05:10,840 --> 01:05:14,000 Speaker 6: with the administration about how to make these tariffs work, 1373 01:05:14,240 --> 01:05:15,720 Speaker 6: and they've been working with us on that. 1374 01:05:16,200 --> 01:05:18,760 Speaker 2: It's frustrating to me watching this exchange. I would love 1375 01:05:18,840 --> 01:05:20,640 Speaker 2: if Sean Fayn would come on the show. I'd love 1376 01:05:20,640 --> 01:05:23,280 Speaker 2: to have a conversation with that. I'm sympathetic. There's nothing 1377 01:05:23,320 --> 01:05:26,120 Speaker 2: that he says, though, that is incorrect about NATA and 1378 01:05:26,120 --> 01:05:28,880 Speaker 2: about its impacts specifically on the auto industry, about the 1379 01:05:28,880 --> 01:05:31,840 Speaker 2: fact that these terrible trade deals continue to harm American workers. 1380 01:05:31,880 --> 01:05:34,200 Speaker 2: All of that is completely accurate. The question is, then, 1381 01:05:34,240 --> 01:05:35,760 Speaker 2: what are you going to do about it? And if 1382 01:05:35,800 --> 01:05:39,200 Speaker 2: you're just doing this chaotic terrorist are on, they're off, 1383 01:05:39,240 --> 01:05:40,919 Speaker 2: They're across the board, They're not across the board. 1384 01:05:40,920 --> 01:05:42,160 Speaker 3: One hundred and forty five percent for. 1385 01:05:42,240 --> 01:05:46,439 Speaker 2: China, yes auto, no auto, et cetera. It's only going 1386 01:05:46,480 --> 01:05:50,360 Speaker 2: to make the situation for American workers worse across the board, 1387 01:05:50,480 --> 01:05:52,400 Speaker 2: and the auto industry is one where you know, if 1388 01:05:52,440 --> 01:05:54,320 Speaker 2: Trump was just targeting, like, Okay, we're going to restore 1389 01:05:54,360 --> 01:05:55,960 Speaker 2: the auto industry, here's how we're going to do it, 1390 01:05:56,000 --> 01:05:58,600 Speaker 2: and it was intelligent and coupled with industrial policy as 1391 01:05:58,600 --> 01:06:01,600 Speaker 2: we've talked about it. I supported Trump's tariffs on the 1392 01:06:01,640 --> 01:06:03,960 Speaker 2: first term. I supported Biden's tariffs in his term. I 1393 01:06:03,960 --> 01:06:06,600 Speaker 2: would support something like that that is not what we're 1394 01:06:06,600 --> 01:06:10,040 Speaker 2: talking about. So I don't think you can afford in 1395 01:06:10,120 --> 01:06:14,400 Speaker 2: this time to ignore the rest of what is going 1396 01:06:14,440 --> 01:06:16,720 Speaker 2: on with these tariffs, because they are going to hurt 1397 01:06:16,960 --> 01:06:19,560 Speaker 2: that they are going to be a regressive tax on 1398 01:06:19,640 --> 01:06:22,880 Speaker 2: working class people. They're going to hurt workers much more 1399 01:06:22,920 --> 01:06:25,120 Speaker 2: than they help workers. And the other thing is, you know, 1400 01:06:25,120 --> 01:06:27,640 Speaker 2: if you listen to Trump talk and I get into 1401 01:06:27,680 --> 01:06:29,880 Speaker 2: some of this day in my monologue, like he doesn't 1402 01:06:29,920 --> 01:06:34,520 Speaker 2: want to restore the nineteen fifties height of postwar manufacturing. 1403 01:06:34,520 --> 01:06:37,120 Speaker 2: And at that time you had about fifty percent unionization 1404 01:06:37,320 --> 01:06:39,760 Speaker 2: in terms of factory workers, so you had a lot 1405 01:06:39,760 --> 01:06:42,280 Speaker 2: of labor power, you had an expanding social safety net, 1406 01:06:42,520 --> 01:06:45,760 Speaker 2: you had a post war global economy where the US 1407 01:06:45,880 --> 01:06:47,680 Speaker 2: was kind of the only game in town because so 1408 01:06:47,680 --> 01:06:49,840 Speaker 2: many other countries had been completely devastated. 1409 01:06:50,080 --> 01:06:52,040 Speaker 3: But that's not what he's looking to restore. 1410 01:06:52,080 --> 01:06:53,480 Speaker 2: And you can tell that by the fact that he's 1411 01:06:53,560 --> 01:06:55,640 Speaker 2: a union buster, and by that doge is gutting the 1412 01:06:55,640 --> 01:06:59,160 Speaker 2: government so that it can't regulate big business. He wants 1413 01:06:59,200 --> 01:07:00,600 Speaker 2: to go back, and he talks about this to the 1414 01:07:00,640 --> 01:07:02,360 Speaker 2: guilded age. He wants to go back to the time 1415 01:07:02,400 --> 01:07:05,680 Speaker 2: before there were labor regulations, before there were child labor regulations. 1416 01:07:05,920 --> 01:07:08,400 Speaker 2: When you know there it was before the progressive era, 1417 01:07:08,480 --> 01:07:11,720 Speaker 2: when you really have a large union movement and labor power, 1418 01:07:12,000 --> 01:07:13,920 Speaker 2: and before there was an income tax. 1419 01:07:14,240 --> 01:07:15,800 Speaker 3: That's what he wants to go back to. 1420 01:07:16,360 --> 01:07:19,240 Speaker 2: And you know, these sort of like you know, sweatshop jobs, 1421 01:07:19,240 --> 01:07:22,040 Speaker 2: because there's nothing inherent about factory jobs that make them 1422 01:07:22,040 --> 01:07:25,440 Speaker 2: good jobs. It was the particular moment in time, and 1423 01:07:25,480 --> 01:07:28,440 Speaker 2: also the fact that we had this very large union movement. 1424 01:07:28,640 --> 01:07:29,640 Speaker 3: You have to have all of. 1425 01:07:29,560 --> 01:07:31,680 Speaker 2: Those pieces if you're actually going to restore something good 1426 01:07:31,720 --> 01:07:34,720 Speaker 2: for American workers. Trump has no interest in any of that. 1427 01:07:35,040 --> 01:07:37,840 Speaker 2: He wants to go in the complete opposite direction. So 1428 01:07:38,040 --> 01:07:40,480 Speaker 2: while listen, I get where Sean Fin's coming from, Like 1429 01:07:40,640 --> 01:07:42,720 Speaker 2: I you know, I've seen him be very critical of 1430 01:07:42,720 --> 01:07:47,800 Speaker 2: Trump in other areas. I understand his mindset, but this 1431 01:07:48,280 --> 01:07:51,520 Speaker 2: from Trump is going to completely go in the opposite 1432 01:07:51,520 --> 01:07:53,320 Speaker 2: direction of what you would want from American workers. And 1433 01:07:53,320 --> 01:07:55,800 Speaker 2: we already know because we've seen Stalantis already do layoffs 1434 01:07:55,800 --> 01:07:56,760 Speaker 2: as a consequence of this. 1435 01:07:57,200 --> 01:07:59,919 Speaker 1: The difficulty for him is he has to support tariffs conceptually, 1436 01:08:00,160 --> 01:08:02,640 Speaker 1: and look, I get it, like you said, in the 1437 01:08:02,640 --> 01:08:05,400 Speaker 1: position that he's in a MSNBC people who are totally 1438 01:08:05,400 --> 01:08:07,640 Speaker 1: against tariffs, and he's like, no, that's not what I'm saying. 1439 01:08:07,680 --> 01:08:10,040 Speaker 1: What I'm calling for is X, Y and Z tariff 1440 01:08:10,080 --> 01:08:13,240 Speaker 1: combined with this policy. The difficulty that you run into 1441 01:08:13,320 --> 01:08:15,560 Speaker 1: is that with the chaos of the Trump administration now 1442 01:08:15,800 --> 01:08:18,000 Speaker 1: at this point, you never know whether a tariff is 1443 01:08:18,000 --> 01:08:19,960 Speaker 1: on or not. You literally And the funny thing is 1444 01:08:20,000 --> 01:08:22,439 Speaker 1: even the automakers don't know. They have to call their 1445 01:08:22,479 --> 01:08:24,760 Speaker 1: lawyers and be like, what's the guidance from the White 1446 01:08:24,760 --> 01:08:26,519 Speaker 1: House today? And then the next day Trump comes out like, 1447 01:08:26,600 --> 01:08:29,760 Speaker 1: actually there's no exceptions, and you're like, oh, okay, I mean, 1448 01:08:30,000 --> 01:08:31,360 Speaker 1: how can we do business? 1449 01:08:31,520 --> 01:08:31,800 Speaker 3: How is it? 1450 01:08:31,960 --> 01:08:32,800 Speaker 1: Or employee people? 1451 01:08:32,880 --> 01:08:35,000 Speaker 2: How is the domestic auto market going to be if 1452 01:08:35,040 --> 01:08:37,240 Speaker 2: we're in a recession? Right, so how's that going to 1453 01:08:37,280 --> 01:08:39,240 Speaker 2: be for you know, workers and layoffs? 1454 01:08:39,320 --> 01:08:41,040 Speaker 3: And you know what. 1455 01:08:41,000 --> 01:08:43,240 Speaker 2: Level of investment in the US do you think that 1456 01:08:43,280 --> 01:08:46,120 Speaker 2: you typically get during a recession, which is what he 1457 01:08:46,240 --> 01:08:50,000 Speaker 2: is actively courting and what we may already be tipping 1458 01:08:50,040 --> 01:08:51,880 Speaker 2: into based on some of the estimates. 1459 01:08:51,960 --> 01:08:55,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean O nine killed GM and still they 1460 01:08:55,280 --> 01:08:58,400 Speaker 1: destroyed the Oh it really never came back. Ford. Ford, 1461 01:08:58,600 --> 01:09:00,240 Speaker 1: you got to hand it to him. They they were 1462 01:09:00,240 --> 01:09:02,639 Speaker 1: able to climb out, and they never took any government money. 1463 01:09:02,680 --> 01:09:04,360 Speaker 1: I remember reading a really good book about how they 1464 01:09:04,400 --> 01:09:06,840 Speaker 1: were able to handle it. But they're the exception and 1465 01:09:06,880 --> 01:09:09,559 Speaker 1: they're not the role. The US auto industry really never 1466 01:09:09,600 --> 01:09:11,320 Speaker 1: recovered from that. And then there was that whole cash 1467 01:09:11,360 --> 01:09:14,559 Speaker 1: for clunkers thing. They had destroyed these car market. It 1468 01:09:14,600 --> 01:09:15,200 Speaker 1: was a disaster. 1469 01:09:15,320 --> 01:09:16,080 Speaker 3: Yeah, all bad. 1470 01:09:16,160 --> 01:09:18,040 Speaker 2: The bail out was very unpopular at the time, but 1471 01:09:18,080 --> 01:09:20,880 Speaker 2: then it ended up being like, was one of those 1472 01:09:20,920 --> 01:09:23,080 Speaker 2: things that the Obama administration kind of took a risk 1473 01:09:23,160 --> 01:09:26,400 Speaker 2: on because when it was being right, when it was 1474 01:09:26,439 --> 01:09:29,439 Speaker 2: being proposed, it was actually really profoundly unpopular, but they 1475 01:09:29,439 --> 01:09:31,240 Speaker 2: did it anyway to save those jobs. And it ended 1476 01:09:31,320 --> 01:09:33,040 Speaker 2: up being obviously the right call. 1477 01:09:33,200 --> 01:09:35,639 Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know, I still think there should have been. 1478 01:09:36,120 --> 01:09:38,240 Speaker 1: I don't know, just if you look at the net 1479 01:09:38,240 --> 01:09:42,559 Speaker 1: effect GM and Stilantis, like Ford has minutes of actual cheap, 1480 01:09:42,600 --> 01:09:45,439 Speaker 1: decent success, GM is Stilantis. Yes, they paid the money 1481 01:09:45,439 --> 01:09:47,679 Speaker 1: back and all that, but like in terms of saving 1482 01:09:47,720 --> 01:09:49,479 Speaker 1: the jobs in the industrial base and all, that didn't 1483 01:09:49,520 --> 01:09:51,679 Speaker 1: really happen. I mean, they did close a lot of plants, 1484 01:09:51,920 --> 01:09:53,439 Speaker 1: they closed them in the interim. But you know, in 1485 01:09:53,479 --> 01:09:55,920 Speaker 1: a five year overall period, a lot of those jobs 1486 01:09:56,000 --> 01:09:58,120 Speaker 1: did get eventually outsourced. A lot of them went to 1487 01:09:58,160 --> 01:10:01,800 Speaker 1: Mexico and or to China. Glow mobilization just ate away 1488 01:10:02,120 --> 01:10:03,720 Speaker 1: at it and at the and the worst part is 1489 01:10:03,760 --> 01:10:06,360 Speaker 1: they don't create the good products like they just their 1490 01:10:06,400 --> 01:10:10,160 Speaker 1: products are bad even today. And you can see, if 1491 01:10:10,160 --> 01:10:13,200 Speaker 1: you know, with respect to all these other car manufacturers 1492 01:10:13,520 --> 01:10:15,120 Speaker 1: around the world, like they laugh at them. 1493 01:10:15,160 --> 01:10:17,879 Speaker 3: So it's not about been such a calamity for Michigan. 1494 01:10:17,920 --> 01:10:19,880 Speaker 1: I'm not disagreed. I think it was right to save 1495 01:10:19,920 --> 01:10:22,720 Speaker 1: the job, but there should have been a much more 1496 01:10:22,720 --> 01:10:25,760 Speaker 1: conservative effort to make sure that they're globally competitive, and 1497 01:10:25,840 --> 01:10:28,120 Speaker 1: it just didn't happen. And now we are where we 1498 01:10:28,200 --> 01:10:31,280 Speaker 1: are today, some fifteen years later, where you have by 1499 01:10:31,360 --> 01:10:33,800 Speaker 1: d Shaomi, you all these other people GM, and still 1500 01:10:33,840 --> 01:10:35,880 Speaker 1: they can't they can't make an electric car that's decent. 1501 01:10:36,040 --> 01:10:37,800 Speaker 1: To save their life. They've make it for like ninety 1502 01:10:37,800 --> 01:10:39,880 Speaker 1: thousand dollars a piece of shit. You know, nobody would 1503 01:10:39,880 --> 01:10:42,479 Speaker 1: ben to buy it. And so yeah, we're in a 1504 01:10:42,479 --> 01:10:44,680 Speaker 1: tough spot here in our in our car industry. It's 1505 01:10:44,680 --> 01:10:45,040 Speaker 1: not good
