WEBVTT - Promises Kept - April 10th, Hour 1 0:00:00.840 --> 0:00:03.000 All right, thank you Scott Channon, and thanks to all 0:00:03.000 --> 0:00:05.600 of you for being with us. Right down our toll 0:00:05.720 --> 0:00:08.280 free telephone number if you want to be a part 0:00:08.280 --> 0:00:10.560 of the program, it's eight hundred and ninety four to one, Shawn, 0:00:10.600 --> 0:00:13.800 if you'd like to join us. I honestly could not 0:00:14.160 --> 0:00:21.080 stop watching the President's Cabinet meeting from earlier today because 0:00:21.480 --> 0:00:27.320 the level of detail, depth, and transformational change that is 0:00:27.360 --> 0:00:32.160 going on in this country is so dramatic, and it's 0:00:32.240 --> 0:00:35.479 every single cabinet member. The President went around the table 0:00:35.640 --> 0:00:37.760 and Elon Musk was also in the in the room 0:00:37.800 --> 0:00:41.479 as well, talking about Doze. Doze now have found at 0:00:41.560 --> 0:00:45.320 least one hundred and fifty billion dollars in waste, fraud, abuse, corruption, 0:00:45.440 --> 0:00:47.879 and again they're saying it's the tip of the iceberg. 0:00:48.760 --> 0:00:51.960 And so there's there's so much good going on in 0:00:52.040 --> 0:00:57.800 terms of everything into this that that every every single 0:00:58.040 --> 0:01:03.720 institutionalist item that you can think of is being fought 0:01:03.880 --> 0:01:08.840 anew It is an entirely different approach from government. I mean, 0:01:09.240 --> 0:01:12.400 to a certain extent, we would use the term uniparty. 0:01:12.840 --> 0:01:16.040 I mean, there's not much difference, not much daylight between 0:01:16.080 --> 0:01:19.440 Republicans and Democrats, that's been a fault of Republicans and 0:01:19.480 --> 0:01:22.679 the criticism of mine for many, many years, and it 0:01:22.760 --> 0:01:28.480 infuriates me when you know, Republicans are basically the Democratic 0:01:28.520 --> 0:01:31.160 Party light and it just is, you know, sort of 0:01:31.200 --> 0:01:36.800 like a slow creep towards radical socialism and American weakness 0:01:36.800 --> 0:01:40.240 on the world stage. And anyway, so the President spoke 0:01:40.319 --> 0:01:42.800 first and then went around the room, and every cabinet 0:01:42.840 --> 0:01:45.600 secretary was more impressive than the next. I actually think 0:01:45.600 --> 0:01:47.600 we're going to play a big part of this. I 0:01:47.720 --> 0:01:49.680 like the idea of maybe playing this in the final 0:01:49.720 --> 0:01:53.600 hour of the show today because if you want to 0:01:53.680 --> 0:01:59.000 know why, I keep making the prediction that, if things 0:01:59.080 --> 0:02:05.280 go right, this can be the most transformational, consequential presidency 0:02:05.320 --> 0:02:09.000 in one hundred, one hundred and fifty years now. I 0:02:09.120 --> 0:02:12.480 say that because we're rethinking everything right now with the 0:02:12.520 --> 0:02:16.520 President is in the process of undoing what is fifty 0:02:16.600 --> 0:02:21.600 or sixty years worth of Americans being ripped off, abused, 0:02:22.240 --> 0:02:25.239 and taken advantage of by friend and foe a like. 0:02:25.840 --> 0:02:30.639 And he's doing it by challenging the unfair tariffs that 0:02:30.720 --> 0:02:35.600 these countries have been putting on our country. And it's 0:02:36.160 --> 0:02:42.160 so deeply ingrained in the mindset of an institutionalist or 0:02:42.200 --> 0:02:46.280 an establishment person that they have a hard time thinking 0:02:46.360 --> 0:02:47.640 out of the box. 0:02:48.240 --> 0:02:50.440 You know the idea that Donald Trump betook him. 0:02:50.600 --> 0:02:53.160 Well, we're going to build the wall, we're going to 0:02:53.160 --> 0:02:57.760 become energy dominant, we're going to have free and fair trade, 0:02:57.919 --> 0:03:00.000 or you can have reciprocal tariffs. 0:03:00.080 --> 0:03:01.280 But the choice is yours. 0:03:02.040 --> 0:03:05.440 And then you watch people they can't believe that an 0:03:05.440 --> 0:03:09.040 American president would dare stick up for American workers. Think 0:03:09.080 --> 0:03:13.640 of all of the trillions of dollars over the decades 0:03:13.680 --> 0:03:17.360 that Americans have had to pay out in tariffs. Because 0:03:17.560 --> 0:03:20.160 even our friends in Europe, are friends in Canada, are 0:03:20.200 --> 0:03:24.160 friends in Taiwan, are friends in South Korea, Japan have 0:03:24.360 --> 0:03:26.840 all taken advantage of us, and they've been allowed to 0:03:26.919 --> 0:03:31.720 do so because that is the institutionalist mindset, that is 0:03:31.800 --> 0:03:35.440 the establishment mindset. And nobody wants to dare rock the 0:03:35.480 --> 0:03:38.800 boat or take a chance or show American strength. And 0:03:38.920 --> 0:03:42.160 what the great fallacy in all of this is every 0:03:42.240 --> 0:03:45.920 single one of these countries, if they don't want their 0:03:46.160 --> 0:03:50.240 economies to tank, if they don't want if they want 0:03:50.320 --> 0:03:54.040 access to our markets and your money, they have to 0:03:54.080 --> 0:03:58.000 make a deal with President Trump. One way or the other. Now, 0:03:58.600 --> 0:04:02.040 I don't like when it gets too complicated. In other words, 0:04:02.120 --> 0:04:05.360 people can understand free and fair trade your choice, or 0:04:05.520 --> 0:04:08.120 reciprocal tariffs your choice to other countries. 0:04:08.160 --> 0:04:09.600 That's a pretty simple concept. 0:04:10.120 --> 0:04:16.480 Now there are more complicated economic issues that are associated 0:04:16.520 --> 0:04:19.719 with it, and I'm sure as part of negotiations we 0:04:19.800 --> 0:04:21.960 now have By the way, we report today that the 0:04:22.000 --> 0:04:25.280 White House Economic Director Kevin Hassett says that Trump perceived 0:04:25.320 --> 0:04:29.400 nearly twenty specific trade deal offers so far. He said 0:04:29.400 --> 0:04:32.000 this on CNBC, where a bunch of idiots that know 0:04:32.080 --> 0:04:33.520 nothing about the economy work. 0:04:33.560 --> 0:04:35.200 But you know, led by that. 0:04:36.680 --> 0:04:39.279 Idiot Kramer, I don't know why anybody would take economic 0:04:39.320 --> 0:04:41.839 advice from him. It's like one or two people that 0:04:41.960 --> 0:04:43.840 have half a brain on that network. The rest of 0:04:43.880 --> 0:04:46.279 them are just as dumb as the people on ms DNC. 0:04:47.000 --> 0:04:50.080 But anyway, he added that these deals are moving fast, 0:04:50.880 --> 0:04:54.040 and my prediction is this is that the President is 0:04:54.080 --> 0:04:58.560 going to announce deal after deal after deal after deal 0:04:59.000 --> 0:05:03.080 after deal. There will be some other factors brought up 0:05:03.120 --> 0:05:06.480 with some countries, for example, intellectual property theft that's a 0:05:06.560 --> 0:05:11.440 huge problem with China, or currency manipulation another huge problem 0:05:11.440 --> 0:05:15.880 with China, but also with other countries. I personally, my 0:05:15.960 --> 0:05:19.840 own decision is, you're gonna have trade surpluses with some countries, 0:05:19.880 --> 0:05:22.080 you're gonna have trade deficits with other countries. 0:05:22.760 --> 0:05:24.719 And I look at Europe for example. 0:05:24.800 --> 0:05:29.360 The best thing that Europe could do for their national security, 0:05:29.360 --> 0:05:32.040 of which we pay a majority of moneies for NATO, 0:05:32.839 --> 0:05:36.919 and they're gonna need our military might in technology Supposedly, 0:05:37.640 --> 0:05:40.360 you know, Europe and NATO form for the purpose of 0:05:41.640 --> 0:05:46.680 aligning against the former Soviet Union now Russia against any 0:05:46.720 --> 0:05:51.600 military threat. And that's got thrown to hell, and then 0:05:51.640 --> 0:05:54.640 we end up paying the bulk of moneies. And then 0:05:54.800 --> 0:06:02.560 the reward we get for being the big defense country 0:06:02.600 --> 0:06:05.599 that they're going to depend on if God forbid anything 0:06:05.680 --> 0:06:09.160 happens is they hit us with tariffs. They hit us 0:06:09.200 --> 0:06:13.040 with bat taxes, and you know, European Union, for example, 0:06:13.080 --> 0:06:16.840 ten percent tariff on our automobiles. We only charge them 0:06:16.839 --> 0:06:19.760 two point five percent, and then they've got a thirty 0:06:20.480 --> 0:06:24.400 percent I'm sorry, twenty percent vat tax. Well, that adds 0:06:24.440 --> 0:06:26.920 thirty percent to the final sticker price. If you want 0:06:26.920 --> 0:06:29.600 to sell an American car, let's say in Germany, one 0:06:29.600 --> 0:06:34.159 of these European Union countries. All right, that's thirty percent higher. 0:06:34.200 --> 0:06:36.919 That makes it cost prohibitive to sell American cars in 0:06:37.000 --> 0:06:40.839 Germany and many other European Union countries. And so they've 0:06:40.880 --> 0:06:46.440 taken full advantage of US and right now with reciprocal tariffs. 0:06:46.440 --> 0:06:48.640 So it is a pause, but we'll see what happens. 0:06:49.360 --> 0:06:51.800 But we got a deal. Value added tax is still 0:06:51.800 --> 0:06:54.640 a tariff, I'm sorry, and that's going to have to 0:06:54.640 --> 0:06:56.160 be dealt with this. There is going to be some 0:06:56.279 --> 0:07:01.960 fine tuning here. And however, the trade deficit aspect is 0:07:02.000 --> 0:07:05.200 not as important to me, just personally, because I do 0:07:05.320 --> 0:07:11.320 believe that if America achieves the president's goal of energy dominance, 0:07:11.960 --> 0:07:15.800 that it would be wise for every allied country to 0:07:15.880 --> 0:07:20.360 be taking on our coal, our natural gas, our oil, 0:07:21.120 --> 0:07:25.200 and wean itself off any dependence on Russia. Brought this 0:07:25.280 --> 0:07:28.240 up yesterday Chancellor Merkel. Angela Merkel, when she was in 0:07:28.360 --> 0:07:31.960 charge in Germany, Donald Trump during his first term handed 0:07:32.000 --> 0:07:35.360 her a white flag and she said, what's this? So 0:07:35.440 --> 0:07:39.400 what it's the white flag a surrender? Well what's this for? Well, 0:07:39.400 --> 0:07:42.240 you just made a multi multi billion dollar deal to 0:07:42.280 --> 0:07:45.760 make Vladimir Putin rich, and you just allowed him to 0:07:46.280 --> 0:07:49.920 basically hold the keys to your entire economy because you're 0:07:49.920 --> 0:07:53.160 getting all your energy from Russia, and that's a pretty 0:07:53.200 --> 0:07:56.640 dumb decision. Turns out, it was a dumb decision, and 0:07:56.840 --> 0:07:58.800 the President was more right than we even knew at 0:07:58.840 --> 0:08:02.720 the time. So there's a lot going on behind the scenes. 0:08:03.280 --> 0:08:06.160 But I do predict, I'll even take it a step further. 0:08:06.200 --> 0:08:08.520 I predict there's going to be country after country after 0:08:08.600 --> 0:08:11.000 country that's going to come in, and those that make 0:08:11.080 --> 0:08:13.800 their deals first will probably get the best deals. And 0:08:13.880 --> 0:08:15.880 if you're the last ten countries to make a deal, 0:08:16.120 --> 0:08:19.120 probably Donald Trump will be a little bit tougher in negotiations. 0:08:19.120 --> 0:08:23.160 If I was them, I'd get right to it. You know, 0:08:23.320 --> 0:08:27.280 yesterday there was a little dip in the market today, 0:08:27.320 --> 0:08:30.960 but nothing, you know, compared to the massive, biggest one 0:08:31.040 --> 0:08:37.400 day gain on the Dow yesterday up eight percent, the 0:08:37.400 --> 0:08:41.040 biggest point increase in American history. NASDAG went up yesterday 0:08:41.440 --> 0:08:45.760 twelve percent. Markets down a little bit today, but it's 0:08:45.800 --> 0:08:49.079 been topsy turvy. I don't think, you know, we got 0:08:49.080 --> 0:08:52.400 a difference here between Wall Street and Main Street. And 0:08:52.440 --> 0:08:54.440 I don't really care about the people on Wall Street. 0:08:54.559 --> 0:08:58.160 Many people on Wall Street. Little secret. They make money 0:08:58.360 --> 0:09:00.600 whether the stocks go up, with the stock go down, 0:09:01.240 --> 0:09:03.880 and they spend a lot of time. You know, when 0:09:03.920 --> 0:09:05.640 the stocks are down, let me tell you, most of 0:09:05.720 --> 0:09:07.720 these guys know it's going to go back up. They're 0:09:07.760 --> 0:09:11.680 buying while everybody else is in the country's panicking. But 0:09:12.160 --> 0:09:15.560 it's it's it's going to settle out, and it's going 0:09:15.640 --> 0:09:18.720 to settle out in a way. I predict that we're 0:09:18.720 --> 0:09:21.080 going to have more free and fair trade. Now, who 0:09:21.120 --> 0:09:24.480 gets hurt when they put tariffs on our products? Well, 0:09:24.520 --> 0:09:29.400 that incentivises companies to move their products abroad, and then 0:09:29.880 --> 0:09:32.600 they're hitting us with tariffs on American products. That that 0:09:32.679 --> 0:09:37.520 has reduced American manufacturing, you know, to levels that are 0:09:37.679 --> 0:09:40.040 way too low that I would even argue become a 0:09:40.120 --> 0:09:44.640 national security risk. You know, why are we allowing imports 0:09:44.640 --> 0:09:48.400 of pharmaceuticals? For example, we learned during COVID we didn't 0:09:48.520 --> 0:09:51.200 we weren't manufacturing a lot of the medicines that we 0:09:51.280 --> 0:09:54.360 should have been manufacturing right here in this country. Why 0:09:54.360 --> 0:09:57.360 are we importing so many semiconductor chips, Well, now we're 0:09:57.360 --> 0:10:00.200 going to be building them here in America. And with 0:10:00.480 --> 0:10:04.800 the twenty five percent auto tiff. Considering these countries, I 0:10:04.920 --> 0:10:08.480 predict that that's probably going to end up staying in place, 0:10:09.200 --> 0:10:11.520 because if you look at Japan, for example, ninety four 0:10:11.559 --> 0:10:15.320 percent of their automobiles that are purchased in their country, 0:10:15.720 --> 0:10:20.360 they're all made in Japan. And this similar protectionist activity 0:10:20.640 --> 0:10:24.479 in countries like Germany and other countries that produce automobiles, 0:10:25.080 --> 0:10:27.959 and so that's going to be a big part of it. Anyway, 0:10:28.000 --> 0:10:32.320 what the President did here is he decided to shake 0:10:32.559 --> 0:10:36.920 the current system, be in the iconoclass disruptor that he is, 0:10:37.760 --> 0:10:40.959 and showed American strength. He drew a clear light in 0:10:41.040 --> 0:10:45.320 the sand, and he made a profound and deep statement 0:10:45.800 --> 0:10:49.880 that the days of ripping off America and abusing our 0:10:50.000 --> 0:10:55.760 country and hurting Americans are over, the days of taking 0:10:55.800 --> 0:10:59.880 advantage of us are over. So now seventy five countries 0:11:00.160 --> 0:11:03.839 begging for access, and soon American goods will be more 0:11:03.880 --> 0:11:08.280 competitive across the globe. He's already gotten commitments for seven 0:11:08.400 --> 0:11:13.560 trillion dollars from big, big companies and manufacturers. He also 0:11:13.600 --> 0:11:17.120 has talked about creating incentives that if you build a 0:11:17.200 --> 0:11:20.360 factory or manufacturing center, you might be able to deduct 0:11:20.440 --> 0:11:22.480 to cost one hundred percent of it in year one. 0:11:23.240 --> 0:11:25.400 You know, these countries would be wise, I think, to 0:11:25.440 --> 0:11:27.800 seek out a deal as quickly as possible. Donald Trump 0:11:27.880 --> 0:11:31.959 knew these countries what he was betting on, and it 0:11:32.080 --> 0:11:34.760 proved to be right because so many countries acted so quickly. 0:11:35.120 --> 0:11:37.640 We can we have a deal, You dude, No, you're right, 0:11:37.720 --> 0:11:40.439 You're right. It's unfair. We're gonna we're willing free and 0:11:40.520 --> 0:11:44.800 fair trade. Sure, Okay, Why did that happen? Because those 0:11:44.920 --> 0:11:48.440 countries desperately need access to our markets and your money. 0:11:49.160 --> 0:11:52.439 So that's why these countries came begging to get this 0:11:52.600 --> 0:11:55.360 deal done. And now we've got ninety days, and my 0:11:55.480 --> 0:11:58.240 guess is you're probably gonna hear a lot of announcement 0:11:58.280 --> 0:12:00.360 in the next ninety days about trade deal that are 0:12:00.400 --> 0:12:04.000 made with individual countries. You have dozens of foreign countries. 0:12:04.120 --> 0:12:09.040 Multinational businesses have announced all their investment in America because 0:12:09.040 --> 0:12:13.400 they know that under President Trump, it's going to be 0:12:13.480 --> 0:12:17.280 in their best interest to produce goods here, which is 0:12:17.360 --> 0:12:20.280 great for Americans because it'll create those high paying career 0:12:20.440 --> 0:12:23.840 jobs you always hear me talking about. That means more industry, 0:12:24.200 --> 0:12:29.359 less dependence on other nations for necessary items, like pharmaceuticals, 0:12:29.440 --> 0:12:33.200 semiconductor ships, et cetera. And what people are not quite 0:12:33.360 --> 0:12:36.920 understanding is if they think this pause is out of weakness. No, 0:12:37.080 --> 0:12:39.559 it's just to kind of take our breath and see 0:12:39.600 --> 0:12:42.679 how many deals we can get done quickly. And this 0:12:42.920 --> 0:12:46.520 will be forever the new normal at least I guess 0:12:46.600 --> 0:12:49.120 until the liberal comes in and one day and is elected. 0:12:49.200 --> 0:12:51.520 Then yeah, sure we'll pay tariffs. How much you want 0:12:51.600 --> 0:12:54.079 us to pay? I mean, how stupid would that be? 0:12:55.040 --> 0:12:57.160 And I predict by the end of all of this, 0:12:57.320 --> 0:13:00.679 in spite of all of their bluster, the China you 0:13:00.760 --> 0:13:04.040 know now that they're being held accountable, and even Europe 0:13:04.120 --> 0:13:07.480 is holding them accountable. Europe is now tariffing China big 0:13:07.600 --> 0:13:10.480 time because they want to be able. They don't have 0:13:10.480 --> 0:13:13.640 any access to China's markets. I don't think the communist 0:13:13.760 --> 0:13:17.040 Chinese are going to lift their trade barriers or stop 0:13:17.080 --> 0:13:20.679 their intellectual property theft with Europe. Europe really doesn't have 0:13:20.760 --> 0:13:22.400 any other option. They're going to have to do business 0:13:22.440 --> 0:13:26.240 with America. China has no interest in good faith negotiations. 0:13:26.880 --> 0:13:29.920 They started a trade war that they promise you they're 0:13:29.920 --> 0:13:32.079 not going to win. President she is playing chicken with 0:13:32.160 --> 0:13:35.240 the wrong guy. And now I think the tariffs went 0:13:35.320 --> 0:13:37.079 up to one hundred and forty five percent. They just 0:13:37.200 --> 0:13:39.960 keep going up. And now if you look at China, 0:13:40.320 --> 0:13:43.280 it's their currency is now at its lowest points since 0:13:43.320 --> 0:13:47.040 two thousand and seven and going lower. And I think 0:13:47.160 --> 0:13:50.160 President Shees is going to have to beg for mercy 0:13:50.280 --> 0:13:51.959 and come on in and try and make a deal 0:13:52.040 --> 0:13:54.319 with the United States. The President said he's open to 0:13:54.400 --> 0:13:59.679 doing that. China's economy depends on America's lucrative market. They 0:13:59.760 --> 0:14:04.400 need us to buy their cheap products in bulk, and unfortunately, 0:14:04.480 --> 0:14:07.240 millions of Chinese citizens will be out of work. Not 0:14:07.360 --> 0:14:08.959 that they're the best jobs in the world. Do you 0:14:09.040 --> 0:14:14.079 have these Chinese sweatshops? China's retaliatory retaliatory tariffs don't have 0:14:14.120 --> 0:14:16.240 a huge impact on the US. They've been ripping us 0:14:16.280 --> 0:14:22.680 off for decades and their intellectual property theft. The money 0:14:22.880 --> 0:14:25.840 that it's cost us is incalculable. Never mind what they 0:14:25.920 --> 0:14:30.160 did to the world with COVID nineteen. But this is 0:14:30.280 --> 0:14:32.520 the this is the state of affairs. 0:14:33.040 --> 0:14:33.120 Now. 0:14:33.200 --> 0:14:35.600 You want an American president that's going to fight for 0:14:35.680 --> 0:14:41.080 American jobs and fundamental fairness in terms of international trade. 0:14:41.360 --> 0:14:44.120 Or do you want America to surrender, because that's basically 0:14:44.200 --> 0:14:47.160 the option. There's two options here. Inflation, by the way, 0:14:47.320 --> 0:14:50.720 continues its decline. I'm sure the state run legacy media 0:14:50.800 --> 0:14:54.480 mob won't focus on this, but consumer prices falling in 0:14:54.680 --> 0:14:59.200 March to April to two point four percent. That is 0:14:59.280 --> 0:15:05.480 close to the two percent goal in terms of inflation numbers. Now, 0:15:05.560 --> 0:15:09.000 let's see the borders now secure. Last week's unemployment report 0:15:09.080 --> 0:15:12.880 from March showed job growth that was booming, the handcuffs 0:15:12.920 --> 0:15:15.960 of being taken off our energy industry, government waste fraud 0:15:16.000 --> 0:15:19.400 and abuses being cut. Elon Muskin announced one hundred and 0:15:19.480 --> 0:15:23.600 fifty billion doses found. China has been confronted economically, so 0:15:23.720 --> 0:15:26.160 as the rest of the world. The Iranians have been 0:15:26.200 --> 0:15:29.720 put on notice militarily. The inflation rate has declined since 0:15:29.800 --> 0:15:32.640 President Trump became president, from three percent now to two 0:15:32.680 --> 0:15:37.880 point four percent, and the European Union is now we 0:15:38.040 --> 0:15:40.520 want to give negotiations a chance. At the head of 0:15:41.200 --> 0:15:47.560 the European Commission on Thursday, she mirrored President Trump's move 0:15:47.760 --> 0:15:51.000 to suspend tariffs worldwide. The European Union only passed its 0:15:51.640 --> 0:15:56.400 retaliatory duties on Wednesday, afternoon, a response to Donald Trump's 0:15:56.400 --> 0:15:59.960 steel and aluminum tariffs, which had been watered down from 0:16:00.200 --> 0:16:02.600 earlier proposals that came in at a fraction. They're going 0:16:02.640 --> 0:16:05.440 to need access to our markets. This was big news 0:16:05.560 --> 0:16:10.440 too that I bet everybody ignored. Apple is now in 0:16:10.680 --> 0:16:15.400 talks with customers on ways to respond to US terrorists 0:16:15.520 --> 0:16:20.440 by shifting more production outside of China. Now, remember, we 0:16:20.600 --> 0:16:24.920 have a five hundred billion dollar commitment to build out 0:16:25.160 --> 0:16:28.560 facilities all over the United States, but especially in Texas. 0:16:29.080 --> 0:16:31.840 I mean, that's a big deal. Now, the remarks by 0:16:31.880 --> 0:16:35.760 the Chinese company, which assembles iPhones and makes AirPods, provide 0:16:35.760 --> 0:16:40.520 a glimpse into deliberations by companies around the world scrambling 0:16:40.600 --> 0:16:43.640 to tackle, you know, the fact that America has been 0:16:43.680 --> 0:16:46.880 abused and taken advantage and ripped off. If there's a 0:16:46.920 --> 0:16:50.400 commercial guarantee and we're able to conduct a good evaluation 0:16:50.720 --> 0:16:53.479 and we don't rule out having some products being localized 0:16:53.480 --> 0:16:55.720 to meet the needs of the US market, They're going 0:16:55.760 --> 0:16:59.120 to do it. And why shouldn't they Dozens of new 0:16:59.200 --> 0:17:02.920 factories and now being built across the country. This news 0:17:03.240 --> 0:17:06.960 out of industry select dot Com. Apple announced plans for 0:17:07.040 --> 0:17:10.400 the two hundred and fifty thousand square foot AI server 0:17:10.600 --> 0:17:13.680 manufacturing facility in Houston, Texas, but they're also going to 0:17:13.720 --> 0:17:17.800 be building out other facilities around the country. They're going 0:17:17.880 --> 0:17:21.679 to produce AI servers to support Apple Intelligence, that's their 0:17:21.720 --> 0:17:26.560 AI driven personal assistant for iPhone, iPad, mac computers or 0:17:26.680 --> 0:17:30.040 Bullish on the future of American innovation and proud to 0:17:30.160 --> 0:17:33.320 build on our long standing US investments with this five 0:17:33.440 --> 0:17:37.119 hundred billion dollar commitment to our country's future. I mean 0:17:37.359 --> 0:17:41.240 they're making smart choice, some smart choices. ELI Lilly and Company. 0:17:41.760 --> 0:17:46.000 They announced plans to more than double their US manufacturing 0:17:46.080 --> 0:17:49.280 investment to one point seven billion. That's going to create 0:17:49.359 --> 0:17:53.280 thousands of jobs. The investment will expand Lili's manufacturing facilities 0:17:53.320 --> 0:17:58.960 in North Carolina and Indiana, focusing on producing active pharmaceutical 0:17:59.119 --> 0:18:01.680 ingredients and new metow We need our medicines made here. 0:18:02.160 --> 0:18:07.040 We learned that during COVID Overland. AI has inaugurated their 0:18:07.119 --> 0:18:10.399 new factory in South Seattle that's designed for end to 0:18:10.600 --> 0:18:14.520 end development and rapid production of both crude and uncrewed 0:18:15.200 --> 0:18:16.080 ground vehicles. 0:18:16.720 --> 0:18:17.440 That's a big deal. 0:18:17.600 --> 0:18:22.840 Toyota officially opened a new automotive battery manufacturing plant in 0:18:22.960 --> 0:18:26.359 North Carolina, following on the heels of Nissan and Honda, 0:18:27.160 --> 0:18:31.600 and the nearly fourteen billion dollar facility is Toyota's eleventh 0:18:31.720 --> 0:18:35.480 manufacturing plant in the US. It's expected to create five 0:18:35.560 --> 0:18:38.760 thousand jobs. I don't even know how to say this name. 0:18:39.119 --> 0:18:43.119 It's oarsl Or Middle has announced plans to construct a 0:18:43.200 --> 0:18:48.120 new advanced, non grain oriented electric steel manufacturing facility in Alabama. 0:18:48.680 --> 0:18:52.600 One point two billion investment there thirteen hundred jobs during 0:18:52.640 --> 0:18:58.920 the construction phase, then permanent positions thereafter. Aero Vernment has 0:18:58.960 --> 0:19:02.520 announced the establish than of Freedom Works, which is a 0:19:02.600 --> 0:19:05.760 state of the art advanced manufacturing facility in Salt Lake 0:19:05.840 --> 0:19:10.320 City two hundred thousand square feet and that's going to happen. 0:19:10.760 --> 0:19:13.560 That's going to create hundreds and hundreds of high paying jobs. 0:19:13.680 --> 0:19:17.760 ZM Trucks has selected Sam Bernardino, a pretty dumbness stay 0:19:17.800 --> 0:19:21.440 in California for its first North American manufacturing plant and 0:19:21.560 --> 0:19:25.760 new regional headquarters. The companies leased to two hundred and 0:19:25.760 --> 0:19:31.240 ten thousand square foot facility in Fontana, California. By the way, 0:19:31.320 --> 0:19:34.320 did you see in and out Burger is moving to Franklin, 0:19:34.400 --> 0:19:35.520 Tennessee and Nashville. 0:19:35.800 --> 0:19:39.080 I did it's pretty cool. Yeah they are. Does that 0:19:39.160 --> 0:19:41.879 mean you're a Tennessee. It's warm there. 0:19:43.240 --> 0:19:45.560 It's not as form as Florida, and it's not as coastal. 0:19:46.040 --> 0:19:48.200 That's a little problem for me. I like the coast. 0:19:49.600 --> 0:19:53.200 But I've actually had conversations I begged in and out 0:19:53.280 --> 0:19:57.160 to move to Palm Beach, Florida and surrounding areas West Palm. 0:19:58.119 --> 0:20:00.399 I'm trying to get him down here to get them 0:20:00.440 --> 0:20:01.200 all over Florida. 0:20:01.359 --> 0:20:03.840 Are they not able to get the meat right or 0:20:03.920 --> 0:20:06.200 oh they just that's exactly what it is. 0:20:06.320 --> 0:20:09.000 But this is a company that is never planned on 0:20:09.119 --> 0:20:14.240 going east of Texas, and that's a big problem anyway. 0:20:14.480 --> 0:20:19.000 Orbis Corporation announced that their new manufacturing facility in Greenville, 0:20:19.080 --> 0:20:22.720 Texas four hundred and twenty thousand square feet of manufacturing 0:20:22.840 --> 0:20:25.920 space two hundred and forty thousand square feet of warehouse 0:20:25.960 --> 0:20:33.200 space dedicated to producing reusable packaging. The Diego North America 0:20:33.240 --> 0:20:36.560 announced four hundred and fifteen million dollar investment. And this 0:20:36.680 --> 0:20:39.840 is a Montgomery, Alabama, three hundred and sixty thousand square 0:20:39.880 --> 0:20:41.840 foot facility. I mean, I can keep going on. I 0:20:41.880 --> 0:20:45.240 got more and more. You just keep going. Seven trillion 0:20:45.320 --> 0:20:50.200 dollars plus and county Now interesting. Two bloggers linked to 0:20:50.280 --> 0:20:53.160 the Chinese government floated the idea of upping the flow 0:20:53.240 --> 0:20:56.600 of deadly fentanyl into the US and retaliation to the 0:20:56.720 --> 0:21:01.320 President's tariffs. Well, that's pretty sick, that's pretty ugly, that's 0:21:01.359 --> 0:21:05.800 pretty evil, pretty dark, pretty twisted. Anyway, the President explained 0:21:05.800 --> 0:21:08.159 his ninety day pause for most countries, with the exception 0:21:08.280 --> 0:21:11.320 of China. China is going to have to come to 0:21:11.400 --> 0:21:15.800 the table. US inflation drop to a six month low 0:21:15.960 --> 0:21:19.360 in March. Why isn't this Why isn't Wall Street paying 0:21:19.400 --> 0:21:23.480 attention to that? Because that helps everyday Americans. The global 0:21:23.800 --> 0:21:28.280 bond investors rallied behind President Trump's trade push. That's good 0:21:28.359 --> 0:21:32.120 news as well. Trump's tariff pause is the latest example. 0:21:32.960 --> 0:21:37.160 I mean, what people want to understand is Donald Trump 0:21:37.240 --> 0:21:40.680 has now given them time. And with Donald Trump's in 0:21:40.720 --> 0:21:42.840 a perpetual state of negotiation, how many times do I 0:21:42.920 --> 0:21:45.359 have to explain this. I don't know why I have 0:21:45.440 --> 0:21:49.080 to keep explaining this, but it is what it is. 0:21:49.160 --> 0:21:52.680 There's a sad story in the New York Post today 0:21:53.400 --> 0:21:58.200 about the It's called Chinese tsunami swamps, and you should 0:21:58.280 --> 0:22:01.840 see these sweatshops these condition and it talks in at 0:22:01.960 --> 0:22:06.760 length about how a one point nine trillion dollars in 0:22:07.080 --> 0:22:10.840 industry is that is coming from China, and that the 0:22:11.080 --> 0:22:15.800 communist country of one point three billion people have shifted 0:22:16.480 --> 0:22:19.639 all this cash into amping up its factories in just 0:22:19.800 --> 0:22:23.119 four years in an effort to overwhelm manufacturers around the 0:22:23.160 --> 0:22:26.399 world with an influx of their cheap goods. Meanwhile, they 0:22:26.480 --> 0:22:29.880 treat their citizens like Adam Schiff, and they abuse them 0:22:30.200 --> 0:22:32.600 in these sweatshops, and they pay them next to nothing, 0:22:32.680 --> 0:22:36.040 and they live in poverty. I mean, I really am 0:22:36.119 --> 0:22:39.440 not interested in buying, you know, when people are abused 0:22:39.520 --> 0:22:41.760 like that. I kind of care about human beings and 0:22:41.840 --> 0:22:45.920 human souls, and you know, the balance between profits and 0:22:46.000 --> 0:22:49.879 take care. I've always thought the answer is profit sharing. 0:22:50.720 --> 0:22:53.040 I really think that's the answer. Anyway. Trump secured the 0:22:53.080 --> 0:22:57.320 release of another American hostage abandoned by Biden. The Daily 0:22:57.400 --> 0:23:01.160 Wire pointed out that they successfully negotiate negotiated the release 0:23:01.240 --> 0:23:04.040 of a Russian American dual citizen, an amateur at ballet 0:23:04.200 --> 0:23:05.639 dancer from a Russian prison. 0:23:06.880 --> 0:23:07.760 So that's good news. 0:23:08.040 --> 0:23:10.399 What are we up to, like fifteen sixteen people now 0:23:10.520 --> 0:23:15.240 that Donald Trump has negotiated the release of the House 0:23:15.320 --> 0:23:19.200 has passed the Save Act, requiring proof of citizenship to 0:23:19.320 --> 0:23:20.240 register to vote. 0:23:20.320 --> 0:23:21.399 That is good news. 0:23:22.160 --> 0:23:26.320 Doose discovered that millions of dollars in unemployment claims are 0:23:26.400 --> 0:23:29.520 going to fake people. Now this came up in this 0:23:30.080 --> 0:23:33.080 cabinet meeting that that was so impressive. Today we're going 0:23:33.119 --> 0:23:35.040 to run a lot of it in the final hour 0:23:35.040 --> 0:23:38.479 of the program today. Dose claimed it reviewed an initial 0:23:38.560 --> 0:23:41.879 survey of unemployment claims since twenty twenty. They found ninety 0:23:41.920 --> 0:23:44.920 seven hundred people whose birth dates aren't for another fifteen 0:23:45.040 --> 0:23:49.240 years who have claimed sixty nine million dollars in benefits. 0:23:49.280 --> 0:23:51.840 In one case, a person whose birthday was listed as 0:23:52.440 --> 0:23:58.159 the year twenty one fifty four claimed forty one thousand dollars. Gee, 0:23:58.359 --> 0:24:01.640 your tax dollars at work. The House also, by the way, 0:24:01.760 --> 0:24:05.360 passed their budget resolution, which is key to the President's agenda. 0:24:06.000 --> 0:24:08.000 It was a close vote, as expected, but they have 0:24:08.080 --> 0:24:12.800 a small majority and the President he praised on the House. 0:24:13.480 --> 0:24:17.400 And this is all because of the reconciliation process, which 0:24:17.560 --> 0:24:19.440 is complicated. I've spent a lot of time on it. 0:24:19.480 --> 0:24:25.000
