1 00:00:00,800 --> 00:00:03,200 Speaker 1: When we have good news, the market should go up, 2 00:00:03,520 --> 00:00:06,040 Speaker 1: and we have bad news, the market should go down, 3 00:00:06,280 --> 00:00:08,840 Speaker 1: and we'll take care of inflation as it comes. We 4 00:00:08,880 --> 00:00:10,360 Speaker 1: can take care of it. I took care of it. 5 00:00:10,720 --> 00:00:13,880 Speaker 1: I had the worst inflation in history with Biden. Aside 6 00:00:13,880 --> 00:00:15,840 Speaker 1: from borders and everything else that we had to take 7 00:00:15,840 --> 00:00:18,440 Speaker 1: care of, but we had the worst inflation in history. 8 00:00:18,480 --> 00:00:21,000 Speaker 1: And now for the last three months, as you know, 9 00:00:21,079 --> 00:00:22,960 Speaker 1: it was one point three percent. 10 00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:27,800 Speaker 2: You're listening to the forty seven Morning Update with Ben ferguson. 11 00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:29,319 Speaker 3: Good Wednesday morning. It's so nice to have you with 12 00:00:29,400 --> 00:00:31,720 Speaker 3: us on the forty seven Morning Update, and we've got 13 00:00:31,880 --> 00:00:34,880 Speaker 3: several big stories for you. They all involved Donald Trump 14 00:00:34,960 --> 00:00:39,000 Speaker 3: sitting down and talking about major issues that affect you. 15 00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:43,000 Speaker 3: Also talking about foreign policy with a ran talking about 16 00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:46,440 Speaker 3: no one coming to the borders, Trump talking about sanctuary 17 00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:50,360 Speaker 3: cities and also interest rates and how they could affect you, 18 00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:54,440 Speaker 3: and even talking about the fraud in Minnesota. It's the 19 00:00:54,440 --> 00:00:57,920 Speaker 3: forty seven Morning Update and it starts right now. Story 20 00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:01,280 Speaker 3: number one, President Donald Trump doing it another sit down interview, 21 00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:04,959 Speaker 3: talking about a wide range of issues, and we're going 22 00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:06,679 Speaker 3: to get into many of those, but one of the 23 00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:09,360 Speaker 3: ones that was very important to the president was dealing 24 00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:12,840 Speaker 3: with Iran, saying that Iran would be foolish not to 25 00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:17,360 Speaker 3: make a nuclear missile deal. He also talked about sending 26 00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:21,720 Speaker 3: a second aircraft carrier to the region, Trump warning Iran, 27 00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:25,720 Speaker 3: don't be foolish and get a deal done now. The 28 00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:30,040 Speaker 3: comments landed hours after Axios reported that Trump is considering 29 00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:33,440 Speaker 3: sending a second aircraft carrier strike group to the Middle East. 30 00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:37,240 Speaker 3: If negotiations collapse, either we will make a deal or 31 00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:39,560 Speaker 3: we will not have a deal, and we'll have to 32 00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:43,000 Speaker 3: do something very tough, like last time. Trump told Axos, 33 00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:46,240 Speaker 3: adding we have an armada that is heading there, and 34 00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:50,960 Speaker 3: another one might be going. A US official also confirmed 35 00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:55,480 Speaker 3: discussions about deploying another strike group, Axos reported, in addition 36 00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:58,800 Speaker 3: to the USS Abraham Lincoln in its strike group. And 37 00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:02,280 Speaker 3: this is clearly a that Trump is framed as both 38 00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:08,280 Speaker 3: leverage and the alternative to diplomacy. In that context, Last 39 00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:11,720 Speaker 3: Time is a direct reference to the Operation Midnight Hammer, 40 00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:15,680 Speaker 3: the US strikes on Iran's nuclear sykes roughly six months 41 00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:19,919 Speaker 3: ago to cap the twelve day Israel Iran War, a 42 00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:24,400 Speaker 3: precedent Trump is explicitly holding up as the consequences of 43 00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:30,960 Speaker 3: Iranian defiance that threat of escalation is colliding with Tehran's 44 00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:37,080 Speaker 3: declared red lines. Irana's publicly insisted negotiations be limited strictly 45 00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:42,600 Speaker 3: to nuclear enrichment levels, not enrichment itself, and has rejected 46 00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:47,399 Speaker 3: any discussion of missiles or regional proxy forces that would 47 00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:52,160 Speaker 3: be them supporting Hesblahamas and other terrorist organizations. And that's 48 00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:55,880 Speaker 3: where the fueling of the skepticism in Washington as well 49 00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:59,560 Speaker 3: as in Israel in Jerusalem that a comprehensive deal is 50 00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:04,280 Speaker 3: well maybe not even realistic with Iran. The Israeli Prime 51 00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:07,640 Speaker 3: Minister net yahoo is also set to meet with President 52 00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:11,080 Speaker 3: Trump today at the White House, with Iram being the 53 00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:15,640 Speaker 3: first and foremost issue on the agenda. Netnyahu said he 54 00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:20,079 Speaker 3: has departed for Washington, adding he will represent the essential 55 00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:25,000 Speaker 3: principles he argues are vital not only for Israel, but 56 00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:28,880 Speaker 3: to everyone around the world who wants peace and security 57 00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:32,239 Speaker 3: in the Middle East. Now. This also comes as US 58 00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:35,760 Speaker 3: Ambassador to Israel Mike Kakabi, speaking before boarding a flight 59 00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:40,200 Speaker 3: to Washington, Netnya, who said there is quote extraordinary alignment 60 00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:43,880 Speaker 3: between Israel and the United States on Iran, while stressing 61 00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:49,920 Speaker 3: the outcome ultimately depends on Tehran's choices. On the Iranian side, 62 00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:54,400 Speaker 3: officials moved quickly to reinforce their position. The Iranian Foreign 63 00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:59,480 Speaker 3: minister said Tuesday that Israel is attempting to sabotage diplomacy 64 00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:03,440 Speaker 3: and warned US officials not to allowed outside actors of 65 00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:08,480 Speaker 3: shape American foreign policy, while also criticizing new sanctions announced 66 00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:12,839 Speaker 3: after the Oman meetings took place. Now, this isn't all 67 00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:16,159 Speaker 3: that the President dealt with today. In the interview, he 68 00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:19,400 Speaker 3: also talked about the border and how important it is 69 00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:22,880 Speaker 3: that we have a secure border. Here's what President Trump 70 00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:25,120 Speaker 3: had to say on Fox Business with Larry Kudlow. 71 00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:29,200 Speaker 1: We have the strongest border in the history of our country. 72 00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:34,120 Speaker 1: We have democrat people giving us the statistics that no 73 00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:38,080 Speaker 1: people have come into a country illegally in the last 74 00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:41,080 Speaker 1: eight months. Even I can't believe that totally, but I'll 75 00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:44,000 Speaker 1: take it. But essentially, no people have come in. Nobody's 76 00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:47,360 Speaker 1: coming through a border. They only come in legally. We've 77 00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:50,159 Speaker 1: done an unbelievable job. I don't think we've given any 78 00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:51,800 Speaker 1: credit one of the problems. 79 00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:53,560 Speaker 4: That I find in politics. 80 00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:57,200 Speaker 1: So I got elected to a large extent on the border, 81 00:04:58,000 --> 00:04:59,880 Speaker 1: I've done such a good job in the border that 82 00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:02,200 Speaker 1: nobody wants to talk about it anymore. Like when I 83 00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:04,200 Speaker 1: mentioned border, sir, they don't want to hear about it. 84 00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:07,160 Speaker 1: You solve that problem. I don't get any credit for anything. 85 00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:09,960 Speaker 1: I mean, I do these things. You would say I've 86 00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:12,320 Speaker 1: done a great job at the border, right nobody coming in. 87 00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:16,000 Speaker 1: We have a strong border. Drugs are way down, you know. 88 00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:19,640 Speaker 1: By knocking out those boats. We have dropped drugs spent 89 00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:21,279 Speaker 1: about thirty three percent. 90 00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:23,719 Speaker 4: And now we're going to start on land. 91 00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:26,440 Speaker 1: We had to do the boats first because they would 92 00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:28,680 Speaker 1: go immediately to the boats. If you hit them on land, 93 00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:30,559 Speaker 1: they go to the boat. So we do the boats first. 94 00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:32,520 Speaker 1: Now there are no boats. Now we're going to hit 95 00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:33,800 Speaker 1: them on the land. We're going to hit them very 96 00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:37,240 Speaker 1: hard on land. We've knocked down drugs every one of 97 00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:40,120 Speaker 1: those boats. It's nasty, but every one of those boats. 98 00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:42,520 Speaker 4: That shut down in the seas you've. 99 00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:46,279 Speaker 1: Been watching it, we saved twenty five thousand American lives. 100 00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:49,640 Speaker 4: So we've done a great job. The problem is that 101 00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:52,960 Speaker 4: I'm not sure that people see it. Maybe we have 102 00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:54,920 Speaker 4: a public relations problem. 103 00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:57,520 Speaker 1: Because I don't know that we get it out the 104 00:05:57,560 --> 00:06:00,600 Speaker 1: way shop because I don't think anybody had a more 105 00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:03,039 Speaker 1: successful first year as a president than I have with 106 00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:04,480 Speaker 1: all of the. 107 00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:05,000 Speaker 4: Things we did. 108 00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:09,640 Speaker 1: And then in the previous administration, my previous my first term, 109 00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:14,000 Speaker 1: I rebuilt the military and that's why we had venezuela 110 00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:18,520 Speaker 1: tremendous success. As you know, we have a massive flotilla 111 00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:21,160 Speaker 1: right now going over to Iran. 112 00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:23,200 Speaker 4: We'll see what happens. I think they want to make 113 00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:25,360 Speaker 4: a deal. I think they'd be foolish if they didn't. 114 00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:28,400 Speaker 1: We took out their nuclear power last time, and we'll 115 00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:30,200 Speaker 1: have to see we take out more this time. 116 00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:31,839 Speaker 5: Do you think a deal with you Iran? 117 00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:32,720 Speaker 1: Now? 118 00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:36,359 Speaker 3: The President also talked about the issue with sanctuary cities 119 00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:38,360 Speaker 3: as well, And here's where you had to say about 120 00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:42,160 Speaker 3: the criminals that are being protected by so many liberals. 121 00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:46,599 Speaker 5: It just seems to me, in general, we're large. If 122 00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:51,680 Speaker 5: you abide by the immigration laws, stop all this sanctuary 123 00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:56,120 Speaker 5: city business, that's the most affordable thing possible you save. 124 00:06:56,440 --> 00:06:59,320 Speaker 5: I mean, I look at what's happened in New York, Okay, 125 00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:03,120 Speaker 5: what Mayor Adams had to spend. He's spent a fortune 126 00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:07,559 Speaker 5: on ten twelve billion dollars, maybe fifteen billion dollars because 127 00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:10,400 Speaker 5: he was giving money away to illegals, many of whom 128 00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:13,840 Speaker 5: are criminal illegals. I mean, it seems to me if 129 00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:18,280 Speaker 5: those laws are upheld, if sanctuary cities, for example, are 130 00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:21,680 Speaker 5: defunded some as you have talked about. Lindsay Graham has 131 00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:24,840 Speaker 5: talked about, that's an affordability issue. There are huge savings 132 00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:27,320 Speaker 5: there and you can go after the waste fraud of them. 133 00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:31,520 Speaker 1: So Linds is really hot on getting rid of sanctuary cities. 134 00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:33,840 Speaker 1: I'm backing them one hundred percent. We got to do it. 135 00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:37,440 Speaker 4: We're hot, and it's sort of the Security. 136 00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:38,880 Speaker 1: Act you could call it, but we have to do it. 137 00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:42,120 Speaker 1: You know, sanctuary cities are only good for people. It's 138 00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:46,960 Speaker 1: sanctuary for criminals. Okay, they are protecting criminals. Those states 139 00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:50,600 Speaker 1: could hand those people over to us, they crime would 140 00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:53,880 Speaker 1: go down. We'd get them out of the country. They 141 00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:55,520 Speaker 1: can't do what we could do. We can get them 142 00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:57,960 Speaker 1: out of the country. They can't do it. But there's 143 00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:00,680 Speaker 1: sanctuaries for criminals. They have the word, they killers, have 144 00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:05,040 Speaker 1: drug lords. They have trend de Iragua all over the place. 145 00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:06,120 Speaker 4: Now. 146 00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:10,280 Speaker 3: President Trump was also asked about the Minnesota fraud scandal, 147 00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:12,640 Speaker 3: and here's what he had to say about that. 148 00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:15,880 Speaker 5: So you're going to still go after the whole waste fraud. 149 00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:19,320 Speaker 1: Well, yeah, in Minnesota. Take a look at Minnesota. So 150 00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:24,760 Speaker 1: we think it's at least nineteen billion dollars of fraud, medical, 151 00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:25,440 Speaker 1: every fraud. 152 00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:27,880 Speaker 4: Somalia has come in here. 153 00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:30,920 Speaker 1: What they've done to our country, these people they've come 154 00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:35,280 Speaker 1: into our country, and what they've done with that fake congresswoman, 155 00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:38,160 Speaker 1: she's so bad. No, we're going to get to the 156 00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:40,800 Speaker 1: bottom of it. We have the best, We have the 157 00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:44,640 Speaker 1: best people in the maybe in the whole country looking 158 00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:47,880 Speaker 1: at that. We're looking at California too, because California is worse. 159 00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:49,840 Speaker 4: But you know, if we. 160 00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:54,800 Speaker 1: Find fifty percent, you know, look, they've been robbing and 161 00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:57,199 Speaker 1: ripping off this country for many years. 162 00:08:56,920 --> 00:08:57,560 Speaker 4: For decades. 163 00:08:57,640 --> 00:09:02,680 Speaker 1: Right, if we find fifty percent of what's happened, we 164 00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:05,720 Speaker 1: have a balanced budget without cutting anybody. 165 00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:08,280 Speaker 4: We have a balanced budget, and we'll find it. 166 00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:11,400 Speaker 1: Minnesota's very corrupt, California is very corrupt. 167 00:09:11,559 --> 00:09:13,040 Speaker 4: A lot of states are very corrupt. 168 00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:17,480 Speaker 3: You think about the tax issue there, He says, we 169 00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:19,800 Speaker 3: have a balanced budget. If we can just cut out 170 00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:23,800 Speaker 3: half of the corruption. That's how much is out there 171 00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:28,040 Speaker 3: that is being wasted of your tax dollars as we speak. 172 00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:31,959 Speaker 3: The President also had this to say about the future 173 00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:35,360 Speaker 3: in this country for Americans when it comes to home 174 00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:39,960 Speaker 3: ownership and interest rates. And also he was asked about 175 00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:41,280 Speaker 3: the FED chair pick. 176 00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:42,120 Speaker 4: Take a listen. 177 00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:46,920 Speaker 5: Do you know you wanted Kevin Warsh so officially it 178 00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:48,920 Speaker 5: was two fridays ago, but when did you Well. 179 00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:52,199 Speaker 1: I made a mistake. He was a runner up if you. 180 00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:53,319 Speaker 5: Want to see, he was a finalist. 181 00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:54,080 Speaker 4: Yeah, he was. 182 00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:56,400 Speaker 1: And I made a mistake because I had somebody that 183 00:09:56,600 --> 00:10:01,640 Speaker 1: was my secretary of the Treasury. I wanted him so badly, 184 00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:05,800 Speaker 1: so badly, and you know, I didn't feel good about him. 185 00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:08,800 Speaker 1: But sometimes you listen to people, and there was a mistake. 186 00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:13,160 Speaker 1: It was really a big mistake. But I think we're 187 00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:15,680 Speaker 1: going to do something that's really spectacular. And then Biden 188 00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:17,880 Speaker 1: renewed him, which was shocking to me. That was bad 189 00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:20,840 Speaker 1: because Biden renewed him. I said, oh boy, this is lousy, 190 00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:23,760 Speaker 1: because if I win, I'm going to inherit this guy for. 191 00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:24,280 Speaker 4: A period of time. 192 00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:25,560 Speaker 5: Can I just raise one point? 193 00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:27,400 Speaker 4: All he has to do his lower interest rates? 194 00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:31,120 Speaker 1: Interest rates should be lower, you know, every point is 195 00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:36,000 Speaker 1: six hundred billion dollars. Think of that six hundred billion 196 00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:38,880 Speaker 1: dollars all he has to do. If we went down 197 00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:42,080 Speaker 1: two points, we don't have a deficit anymore. And that's 198 00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:44,920 Speaker 1: without cutting and it's just a paper charge when you 199 00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:47,960 Speaker 1: think about it, it's a paper charge. We should be 200 00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:50,200 Speaker 1: the lowest interest rate in the world. The reason I 201 00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:53,360 Speaker 1: bring up the Switzerland because we should be lower than 202 00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:54,680 Speaker 1: We should be lower than everybody. 203 00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:57,160 Speaker 4: You know, Switzerland's like just about the lowest. 204 00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:02,000 Speaker 1: If I charge them tariffs, they would not be doing 205 00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:02,640 Speaker 1: very well. 206 00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:04,800 Speaker 4: They would not be doing very well. 207 00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:07,600 Speaker 1: I treated him very nicely, actually, but they would be 208 00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:10,120 Speaker 1: and many other countries would not be doing very well. 209 00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:14,040 Speaker 1: So I'm being very judicious to put it mildly, but 210 00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:16,280 Speaker 1: his country should. 211 00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:18,560 Speaker 4: Have the lowest interest rates in the world. We keep 212 00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:19,439 Speaker 4: the world going. 213 00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:21,920 Speaker 1: We allowed you know how many different When I got here, 214 00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:25,400 Speaker 1: almost every single country in the world that we did 215 00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:28,480 Speaker 1: business with made money off of us. We didn't make money. 216 00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:31,800 Speaker 1: We had deficits with everybody. And I call that a loss. 217 00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:33,440 Speaker 1: You know, a lot of people say, oh, it doesn't matter, 218 00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:34,199 Speaker 1: it doesn't matter a. 219 00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:35,600 Speaker 4: Lot to me. I call it a loss. 220 00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:39,080 Speaker 1: So we are losing money with every single country in 221 00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:40,680 Speaker 1: the world, just about there are a couple. 222 00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:44,480 Speaker 4: I don't know what happened. Maybe we got lucky, but 223 00:11:44,559 --> 00:11:45,040 Speaker 4: we had the. 224 00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:48,920 Speaker 1: Worst negotiators, and we had presidents that were allows e 225 00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:51,520 Speaker 1: business people. And you know, I liked Ronald Reagan. But 226 00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:55,000 Speaker 1: Ronald Reagan was bad on trade. Everybody has problems. He 227 00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:57,559 Speaker 1: was not good on trade. He allowed Japan to come 228 00:11:57,600 --> 00:12:00,080 Speaker 1: in and Germany to come in. But we both like 229 00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:02,280 Speaker 1: and he was a good president, but he wasn't. 230 00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:02,600 Speaker 4: Good on trade. 231 00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:05,560 Speaker 5: To cut my teeth with him, but Bob Leithheiser would 232 00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:08,280 Speaker 5: disagree with you. I don't want to spend too much time. 233 00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:11,040 Speaker 5: Reagan was tougher than you think. 234 00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:12,120 Speaker 4: On you only on trade. 235 00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:15,599 Speaker 1: I think, well, he had the big, big shootout with 236 00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:19,880 Speaker 1: Japan and he folded and they came in and took 237 00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:20,720 Speaker 1: our car market. 238 00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:22,920 Speaker 4: Can I go back. I'm a fan of. 239 00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:25,640 Speaker 1: His and I thought he was just sort of had 240 00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:29,480 Speaker 1: a great presence. But on trade, if you look at 241 00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:33,560 Speaker 1: every president we have over the last fifty years was 242 00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:36,080 Speaker 1: bad on trade. Every single one. 243 00:12:36,520 --> 00:12:37,600 Speaker 5: Well they didn't understand. 244 00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:39,920 Speaker 4: But I'm not bad on trade. I'm real good on trade. 245 00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:43,520 Speaker 3: You're arguing the president talking there not only about trade 246 00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:46,160 Speaker 3: but also saying that US should have the lowest interest 247 00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:50,360 Speaker 3: rates in the world. Interest rates should be lower, and 248 00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:53,400 Speaker 3: that means more Americans can afford to buy homes and 249 00:12:53,520 --> 00:12:58,079 Speaker 3: other things. This is the Trump doctrine on full display. 250 00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:01,520 Speaker 3: And he's also doing interviews with whoever wants to talk to, 251 00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:05,960 Speaker 3: another example of the present being so open about what 252 00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:07,440 Speaker 3: he wants for this country. 253 00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:10,120 Speaker 2: Thank you for listening to the forty seven Morning Update 254 00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:14,400 Speaker 2: with Ben Ferguson.
