Which part? Which 76 00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:24,960 Speaker 1: part did you tell him? Let's start there. 77 00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:30,839 Speaker 2: Well, I said that mass deportation would lead to an 78 00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:35,920 Speaker 2: increase in home prices. And the New York Times actually 79 00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:40,320 Speaker 2: just published an article two days ago about the increasing 80 00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:45,120 Speaker 2: home prices because of mass deportation. They said one guy, 81 00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:47,120 Speaker 2: they had, one guy in particularly, his home was his 82 00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:50,160 Speaker 2: home build. The new home build was going up two 83 00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:55,960 Speaker 2: hundred thousand dollars because of labor. Labor, that's an issue. 84 00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:59,200 Speaker 2: That's one thing I told you about supply is The 85 00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:01,520 Speaker 2: next thing that I I said is that tarris is 86 00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:06,240 Speaker 2: not a good idea. Mass scale tariffs is not a 87 00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:09,960 Speaker 2: good idea. So I think it's important to understand why 88 00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:13,120 Speaker 2: I think that. But it's just my opinion. But I mean, 89 00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:15,479 Speaker 2: we lost one point six trillion dollars in the stock 90 00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:17,640 Speaker 2: market today in the day. I guess a few other 91 00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:18,960 Speaker 2: people feel that same way, but. 92 00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:21,039 Speaker 3: I think most economists felt that way. 93 00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:24,159 Speaker 1: Right, Like if you if you watched and you studied 94 00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:28,760 Speaker 1: economists what they've been saying even pre election, right when 95 00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:30,560 Speaker 1: they were looking at economic plans and they were saying 96 00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:32,920 Speaker 1: tariffs like twenty nine out of thirty. I think some 97 00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:36,960 Speaker 1: percentage like that were like, mass tariffs are a bad idea. 98 00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:38,960 Speaker 2: Even dan Obs yesterday. 99 00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:41,960 Speaker 1: Were saying, like after the rollout, this is worse than 100 00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:42,880 Speaker 1: the worst case scenario. 101 00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:46,480 Speaker 2: Well, another thing I think is interesting is that there's 102 00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:49,680 Speaker 2: really no rhyme or reason to this situation, Like even 103 00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:54,479 Speaker 2: the explanation of how they decided the formula for the taroffs. No, 104 00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:55,880 Speaker 2: we're still trying to figure that part out. 105 00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:57,479 Speaker 1: I looked it up. I looked it up. It's like 106 00:05:57,520 --> 00:06:00,320 Speaker 1: some math equations. The New York Times put it in uh 107 00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:04,880 Speaker 1: in the publication. Even that doesn't the equation doesn't make sense. 108 00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:06,600 Speaker 1: I think the clearest way they're trying to say is 109 00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:09,360 Speaker 1: that whatever they're that the United States is being charge, 110 00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:13,600 Speaker 1: they're gonna give a reciprocal a tariff of half of that. 111 00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:15,720 Speaker 2: But that's not the case though, I know. And so 112 00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:17,279 Speaker 2: they just made up a random They just made up 113 00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:20,480 Speaker 2: random numbers and threw it at the board. I got 114 00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:22,920 Speaker 2: the border here the board. Let's put it up. Let's 115 00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:27,000 Speaker 2: put the board up. Let's put the board up. Yeah. 116 00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:29,280 Speaker 2: So I mean just look at Japan, right, I mean 117 00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:37,520 Speaker 2: forty six, So twenty four is not fifty forty six, right, 118 00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:40,240 Speaker 2: So it's just a bunch of random like we're in. 119 00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:43,000 Speaker 2: Colombia is ten to ten. So some countries they matched, 120 00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:46,760 Speaker 2: even some countries they did fifty. Some countries they did thirty. 121 00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:51,280 Speaker 2: Some countries. There's really no set rhyme or reason behind 122 00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:57,600 Speaker 2: how they actually got these tariffs. Vietnam ninety. Okay. What 123 00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:02,000 Speaker 2: I also said earlier on social media was that you know, 124 00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:06,520 Speaker 2: a lot of people Trump's thing is that it's retaliatory, 125 00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:10,480 Speaker 2: and they tax us, they have tariffs on us. So 126 00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:13,040 Speaker 2: I think it's important to actually have some level of understanding. 127 00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:14,760 Speaker 2: I said this on social media, but a lot of 128 00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:16,840 Speaker 2: these terrifts was put in place after World War Two 129 00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:20,280 Speaker 2: when we were trying to actually help rebuild the world really, 130 00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:23,640 Speaker 2: but especially these Asian countries. That was I mean, they 131 00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:26,800 Speaker 2: was damned and devastated tremendously from the war, right, so 132 00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:32,880 Speaker 2: that was a way. But America has the largest spending 133 00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:35,560 Speaker 2: economy in the history of the world in so far economy, 134 00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:42,920 Speaker 2: and the amount of money that we actually spend on 135 00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:47,880 Speaker 2: exports far exceeds the amount that we The amount of 136 00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:49,760 Speaker 2: money that we spent on imports far seas the amount 137 00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:51,680 Speaker 2: that we spent on exports. So we spent three point 138 00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:56,880 Speaker 2: two trillion dollars on exports, but around two trillion on 139 00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:02,240 Speaker 2: exports three point two one imports, two trillion on exports, 140 00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:06,880 Speaker 2: so that leaves a one point one trillion dollar deficit. 141 00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:09,960 Speaker 2: So the idea of like an i Fouri is not 142 00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:17,080 Speaker 2: really a relevant conversation because we spend so much more 143 00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:22,720 Speaker 2: on exports on imports, and that's everything from cars to fabrics, 144 00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:27,240 Speaker 2: to furnitures, to games, you name it. The biggest continent 145 00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:32,640 Speaker 2: that we that we import products from is Asia. China 146 00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:34,439 Speaker 2: is the number one country, and then after that it's 147 00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:38,960 Speaker 2: North America with Canada, and Mexico. So what ends up 148 00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:42,640 Speaker 2: happening is that when you have tariffs. Let's say it's 149 00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:46,480 Speaker 2: a board game that's coming from Vietnam and Walmart is 150 00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:50,160 Speaker 2: carrying it, so Vietnam doesn't pay more money, but what 151 00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:52,880 Speaker 2: happens is that Walmart is gonna have to pay more money. 152 00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:55,880 Speaker 1: I think that is the confusion, and because that's been 153 00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:58,079 Speaker 1: the message throughout the campaign, is that it's a tax 154 00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:00,200 Speaker 1: on the country. It's a tax on the country. Set 155 00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:03,240 Speaker 1: a tax, a tax on the country. People believe that 156 00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:06,160 Speaker 1: a tariff is a tax on the country. What a 157 00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:08,640 Speaker 1: tariff is is kind of what you're explaining right, Like, 158 00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:11,520 Speaker 1: it won't be up to the country, It'll be on 159 00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:13,680 Speaker 1: the person that is receiving the import. 160 00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:15,480 Speaker 2: The person that buys the products from the country. 161 00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:15,880 Speaker 1: Thing. 162 00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:19,080 Speaker 2: So then okay, so if a board game goes from 163 00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:21,320 Speaker 2: ten dollars to twelve dollars, that they have to buy it. 164 00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:23,400 Speaker 2: Now they're going to have to sell it. It's not 165 00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:25,840 Speaker 2: going to be eighteen dollars, is going to be twenty 166 00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:28,120 Speaker 2: two dollars when they sell it. Yeah, so that's why 167 00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:31,200 Speaker 2: everything is going to go up because it's going to 168 00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:33,880 Speaker 2: cost more money. Now, another thing that let. 169 00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:36,040 Speaker 1: Me just touch on that so to like even make 170 00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:39,560 Speaker 1: it more clear for you. Right, let's use the Walmart example. 171 00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:42,920 Speaker 1: Let's use the board game for example. That tariff that 172 00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:45,559 Speaker 1: comes with the board game, Right, Walmart is going to 173 00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:47,839 Speaker 1: have to do have a choice here, Right, They're either 174 00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:50,160 Speaker 1: going to say, we're going to pay this tariff whatever 175 00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:52,400 Speaker 1: the percentage is, or we're not. 176 00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:54,000 Speaker 3: Going to pay this tariff. And you know who's going 177 00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:56,040 Speaker 3: to pay it, our customers. 178 00:09:56,240 --> 00:09:59,200 Speaker 1: And so when they put that price inside of whatever 179 00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:01,160 Speaker 1: the product is, you pay more. 180 00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:03,679 Speaker 2: Yeah, but they still even if they pay it, they're 181 00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:06,440 Speaker 2: still going to pay what I'm saying they have Walmart 182 00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:08,960 Speaker 2: has to pay it, but the cost is going to 183 00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:11,719 Speaker 2: be built into the product, which now the product pays more. 184 00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:14,600 Speaker 2: So so then another theory is that, Okay, well this 185 00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:19,440 Speaker 2: is going to force jobs back to America. Now, on theory, 186 00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:22,959 Speaker 2: that's not That's not a bad theory. I want to 187 00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:25,679 Speaker 2: be non biased about this conversation. It's not a bad 188 00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:30,240 Speaker 2: theory because we we we have outsourced manufacturing for decades 189 00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:33,800 Speaker 2: and we are dependent on other countries and that that 190 00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:37,280 Speaker 2: could lead to problems. Now, but the problem with this 191 00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:41,000 Speaker 2: theory is that it's going obviously it's going to take 192 00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:44,800 Speaker 2: a long time. You just can't build seven hundred factories 193 00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:46,360 Speaker 2: in one month, right, So it's going to take a 194 00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:48,640 Speaker 2: long time to actually build these factories. But it's the 195 00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:51,319 Speaker 2: first problem. That's the first problem. So there's going to 196 00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:54,160 Speaker 2: be paying in that in that process. The second problem 197 00:10:54,559 --> 00:10:58,160 Speaker 2: is that the labor. So I put it on Instagram, 198 00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:00,760 Speaker 2: the price that it costs to build a car per 199 00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:05,440 Speaker 2: worker in America is seventy dollars. The price that it 200 00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:09,040 Speaker 2: costs in Mexico is like six dollars an hour. So 201 00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:11,600 Speaker 2: if you have to pay work, that's why the prices 202 00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:15,920 Speaker 2: of houses are going up, because the amount of money 203 00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:19,320 Speaker 2: that you can pay an undocumented immigrant is a lot 204 00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:21,520 Speaker 2: lower than the amount of money that you would have 205 00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:24,040 Speaker 2: to pay a union construction worker. I'm not saying what's 206 00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:28,200 Speaker 2: right or wrong, right, that's not the base of this conversation. 207 00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:30,719 Speaker 2: I'm just saying that's just the actual fact. So if 208 00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:33,000 Speaker 2: you have to pay somebody more money, once again, what 209 00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:34,679 Speaker 2: do you think that that cost is going to go. 210 00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:36,960 Speaker 2: That's going to go to the consumer because it's going 211 00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:39,240 Speaker 2: to cost more money to get the job done. Another 212 00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:41,760 Speaker 2: thing like using the auto industry as an example, but 213 00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:45,800 Speaker 2: this is true to any Like there's companies now that 214 00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:49,240 Speaker 2: make products in America, auto companies. There's no auto company 215 00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:52,880 Speaker 2: that makes products in America that does not ship and 216 00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:55,760 Speaker 2: receive products from overseas to build the car. So when 217 00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:57,320 Speaker 2: you build the car, you have to get an engine, 218 00:11:57,400 --> 00:12:00,640 Speaker 2: you have to get a variety of different compacts. Those 219 00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:04,800 Speaker 2: parts come from overseas. So now if you put tariffs 220 00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:06,400 Speaker 2: on those parts, it's still going to raise the course 221 00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:08,840 Speaker 2: of the car and a variety of the different things. 222 00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:10,880 Speaker 2: So it's like, okay, well, why can't we get cheap 223 00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:15,640 Speaker 2: parts made in America. Well, it's it's a pretty complicated problem, 224 00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:19,200 Speaker 2: right because well that goes back to the labor as well. 225 00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:22,480 Speaker 2: That goes back to actually having the facilities to actually 226 00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:24,680 Speaker 2: do it. There's a variety of different things that we've 227 00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:30,120 Speaker 2: outsourced and we don't have Let's just be honest, we 228 00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:35,439 Speaker 2: don't have a labor force that is built to build iPhones. 229 00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:37,600 Speaker 2: Like nobody wants that's nobody wants to sit in a 230 00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:40,280 Speaker 2: tech sweatshop for twelve hours a day. 231 00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:42,240 Speaker 1: Is yeah, this is not right around. This is just 232 00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:46,440 Speaker 1: literally what's happening. And I saw the statistic, it was like, 233 00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:50,600 Speaker 1: this makes perfect sense. Right, we let with yes, we 234 00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:53,560 Speaker 1: are the number one consumer nation. Right, our GDP is 235 00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:58,240 Speaker 1: twenty percent, right of the world's In twenty percent of 236 00:12:58,240 --> 00:13:01,360 Speaker 1: the world's GDP belongs the United States. Right, we have 237 00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:04,880 Speaker 1: five percent of the world's population, which means that we're 238 00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:07,720 Speaker 1: always going to fall short on labor. The other part 239 00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:10,040 Speaker 1: is that when we have the labor, we can't afford 240 00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:12,360 Speaker 1: to pay the labor. Right, So this is why you 241 00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:15,679 Speaker 1: outsource jobs. Look at a company like Apple for example, 242 00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:20,920 Speaker 1: today right had its worst day since the COVID pandemic started. 243 00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:24,920 Speaker 1: Why Well, a lot of the factories and a lot 244 00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:28,400 Speaker 1: of the products that they manufacture come from China. If 245 00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:30,679 Speaker 1: you're going to put that heavy of attax on China, 246 00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:33,120 Speaker 1: what do you think is going to happen into a. 247 00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:34,560 Speaker 2: Company like Apple's products? 248 00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:37,640 Speaker 1: Right, That nine hundred dollars phone is now going to 249 00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:40,840 Speaker 1: be fifteen seventeen. 250 00:13:43,559 --> 00:13:45,960 Speaker 2: And then and then it's also a thing. By the 251 00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:49,439 Speaker 2: time they build the factories, AI's robots are going to 252 00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:52,960 Speaker 2: be doing the jobs anyway that's cost effective. But that's 253 00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:55,959 Speaker 2: not helpful as far as getting American jobs. These jobs 254 00:13:55,960 --> 00:13:59,400 Speaker 2: are not coming back to America because they're not they're outdated. Anyway. 255 00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:02,400 Speaker 2: Eventually these jobs are not even gonna be done by 256 00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:06,120 Speaker 2: human beings anyway. So to have a long term trajectory 257 00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:10,960 Speaker 2: on a short term job, it's not sustainable, Like human 258 00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:13,480 Speaker 2: beings are not going to be manufacturing cars for too 259 00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:16,520 Speaker 2: much longer. It doesn't make sense cars when you tail product, 260 00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:19,560 Speaker 2: when you can have a robot do it, why would 261 00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:22,040 Speaker 2: you have a human do it? So there's this bright side. 262 00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:25,600 Speaker 1: And while I'm watching all this knowing that, it's like, well, 263 00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:27,720 Speaker 1: if it's going to be roboties, it's going to be 264 00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:30,240 Speaker 1: a gentist. Well we've already been speaking about that, right, 265 00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:32,360 Speaker 1: So the bright side is, yes, this pain right now, 266 00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:33,840 Speaker 1: but we can see what the future is at it. 267 00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:36,240 Speaker 3: Right, we can kind of see like there's not going 268 00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:37,560 Speaker 3: to be a human doing those jobs. 269 00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:40,200 Speaker 1: Right, whether you're talking about Apple, you're talking about Nike, 270 00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:43,720 Speaker 1: you're talking about Walmart from a retail or a good side, 271 00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:45,920 Speaker 1: those jobs are going to be done by robotics. We 272 00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:48,640 Speaker 1: can agree on that. Yeah, go forward, and it's more 273 00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:50,920 Speaker 1: cost effective to do that. So if we think about 274 00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:52,720 Speaker 1: who's gonna pay for the labor, well, if we have 275 00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:56,880 Speaker 1: machines doing the labor, then that labor course is gonna 276 00:14:56,920 --> 00:14:57,320 Speaker 1: go down. 277 00:14:57,680 --> 00:15:00,560 Speaker 2: The labor course goes down, but the unemployment. So there 278 00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:02,520 Speaker 2: we go. The number one thing is like, we're going 279 00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:05,680 Speaker 2: to bring jobs back to America. Well that's not really 280 00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:09,240 Speaker 2: bringing jobs back. If robots are assembling iPhones and robots 281 00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:14,760 Speaker 2: are assembling cars, where's the jobs? Okay, Okay, Well let's 282 00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:19,600 Speaker 2: since sometimes people need to hear it from other points 283 00:15:19,640 --> 00:15:22,960 Speaker 2: of view, So we're going to bring our friend, the 284 00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:27,400 Speaker 2: NBC corresponding and host Frank Collin. 285 00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:30,640 Speaker 4: What's up, what's going on? 286 00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:31,560 Speaker 2: What's going on? 287 00:15:31,800 --> 00:15:32,240 Speaker 3: What's up? 288 00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:32,600 Speaker 2: Man? 289 00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:34,880 Speaker 5: Man honored a pleasure to be back with It's not 290 00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:36,440 Speaker 5: market Monday's Market Thursdays. 291 00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:38,960 Speaker 4: I guess you know, terror special, but it's really a 292 00:15:38,960 --> 00:15:39,320 Speaker 4: pleasure to. 293 00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:43,880 Speaker 5: Always like listening to these conversations you guys have, especially 294 00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:45,280 Speaker 5: when you kick off the show, because it just kind 295 00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:46,920 Speaker 5: of gives everybody an insight of what you guys are 296 00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:48,160 Speaker 5: thinking about, what's on your mind. 297 00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:50,920 Speaker 1: For sure, I appreciate that.

When I say Green party, that president, Yes, 318 00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:46,760 Speaker 2: for sure. So Frank, you're. 319 00:16:46,680 --> 00:16:49,400 Speaker 3: Kind of listening to some of the conversation, right, Absolutely, 320 00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:50,880 Speaker 3: you brought up the R word. 321 00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:52,880 Speaker 1: I didn't want to bring it up, but based on 322 00:16:52,920 --> 00:16:56,360 Speaker 1: the things we're saying, the TV's are kind of pointing 323 00:16:56,400 --> 00:16:57,040 Speaker 1: to it that No. 324 00:16:58,080 --> 00:17:00,960 Speaker 5: I mean, it's it's definitely I kind of tenuous situation. 325 00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:02,600 Speaker 5: I mean we also what happened on the markets today. 326 00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:05,359 Speaker 5: I think the Dow drop was sixteen hundred points. Huge 327 00:17:05,440 --> 00:17:08,040 Speaker 5: drops for tech, huge drops are just about every part 328 00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:09,600 Speaker 5: of the market. But I want to go back to 329 00:17:09,600 --> 00:17:11,680 Speaker 5: what you guys were talking about about the terror formula, 330 00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:13,360 Speaker 5: and I think that has a lot of people scratching 331 00:17:13,359 --> 00:17:16,560 Speaker 5: their head. I would imagine some other countries scratching their head. 332 00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:20,239 Speaker 5: The Trump administration did say that they're doing reciprocal terror. Well, 333 00:17:20,280 --> 00:17:22,159 Speaker 5: first off, that ten percent across the board tariff and 334 00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:25,240 Speaker 5: reciprocal tariffs, but they said they have their own formula. 335 00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:27,399 Speaker 5: So some of it's based on what other countries charge us, 336 00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:29,200 Speaker 5: and then some of it's based on what they say 337 00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:32,400 Speaker 5: are non tariff barriers like bad taxes and stuff like that. 338 00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:34,960 Speaker 5: Ian Bremmer really smart guy when it comes in the 339 00:17:35,080 --> 00:17:37,120 Speaker 5: National things, president of e RASOR group. 340 00:17:37,119 --> 00:17:38,280 Speaker 4: I think he's the founder as well. 341 00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:40,920 Speaker 5: He put out a tweet basically saying that the Trump 342 00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:44,199 Speaker 5: administration they took the trade surplus with these country and 343 00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:46,000 Speaker 5: then divided it by the exports, and that's how they 344 00:17:46,040 --> 00:17:48,000 Speaker 5: came with the numbers, like for the EU, that's how 345 00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:50,679 Speaker 5: they came with thirty nine percent. So you know, he 346 00:17:50,760 --> 00:17:53,880 Speaker 5: was very critical of it, but I think doesn't matter 347 00:17:53,880 --> 00:17:55,679 Speaker 5: the formula right now, just the levels of it right 348 00:17:55,680 --> 00:17:59,200 Speaker 5: now are making things, you know, I think, making everybody 349 00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:01,960 Speaker 5: nervous across the world. So one of the the estimates 350 00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:04,480 Speaker 5: that I've been really leaning on is from Ernst and Young. 351 00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:07,920 Speaker 5: They see inflation going up one percent GDP going down 352 00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:10,359 Speaker 5: one percent in twenty twenty five. That's basically what a 353 00:18:10,359 --> 00:18:12,680 Speaker 5: lot of people call stackflation. That's prices going up but 354 00:18:12,760 --> 00:18:16,080 Speaker 5: growth going down. More than likely wages stay in flat. 355 00:18:16,119 --> 00:18:17,840 Speaker 5: And we all know when prices go up your wages 356 00:18:17,880 --> 00:18:20,560 Speaker 5: stay flat, Well, you're losing money essentially, and that's what 357 00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:22,480 Speaker 5: a lot of people talk about. When you talk about 358 00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:24,960 Speaker 5: investing in gold or bitcoin. You want to invest in 359 00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:26,720 Speaker 5: an appreciating asset, and a lot of people feel like 360 00:18:26,760 --> 00:18:29,960 Speaker 5: a dollar is actually a depreciating asset. So there is 361 00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:32,560 Speaker 5: a lot of danger going forward. Nobody wants to talk 362 00:18:32,560 --> 00:18:34,639 Speaker 5: about recession, but it's certainly one of the dangers. I 363 00:18:34,640 --> 00:18:37,240 Speaker 5: believe JP Morgan raised their estimate from twenty percent up 364 00:18:37,280 --> 00:18:40,240 Speaker 5: to thirty five percent. We're talking about a chance of recession. 365 00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:42,480 Speaker 5: I've talked to a lot of CEOs about this, and 366 00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:44,000 Speaker 5: a lot of them say, I just got to sit 367 00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:44,320 Speaker 5: still and. 368 00:18:44,359 --> 00:18:46,280 Speaker 4: To have more clarity, and I don't think we have 369 00:18:46,359 --> 00:18:47,360 Speaker 4: more clarity yet. 370 00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:49,880 Speaker 2: Well, that's what I wanted to ask you, because we're 371 00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:52,040 Speaker 2: going to make this a group discussion. We got another surprise. 372 00:18:52,119 --> 00:18:56,360 Speaker 2: But you talk to a lot of c oh right, 373 00:18:56,560 --> 00:18:58,480 Speaker 2: you talk to a lot of intelligent people, and you 374 00:18:58,520 --> 00:19:01,439 Speaker 2: talk to a lot of wealthy people. What is the 375 00:19:01,640 --> 00:19:06,280 Speaker 2: sentiment of those people that you're talking to? 376 00:19:07,480 --> 00:19:09,479 Speaker 5: Confusion man. And by the way, you guys are too 377 00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:12,000 Speaker 5: wealthy and smart guys I'll talk to. But confusion. 378 00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:18,160 Speaker 4: No, I'm not. I'm legend. 379 00:19:21,880 --> 00:19:23,520 Speaker 5: Just a lot of confusion. A lot of people aren't 380 00:19:23,560 --> 00:19:25,520 Speaker 5: quite sure how this is all going to play out. 381 00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:27,879 Speaker 5: Some of them are confused. Why why are we putting 382 00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:29,800 Speaker 5: tariffs on Canada? You know what I mean, our neighbor 383 00:19:29,840 --> 00:19:31,720 Speaker 5: to the north that we depend on. Why are we 384 00:19:31,720 --> 00:19:35,080 Speaker 5: putting these traffs on Mexico? We remember President Trump during 385 00:19:35,080 --> 00:19:37,960 Speaker 5: his first term, he's the one that negotiated the usmc A. 386 00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:41,560 Speaker 5: So the reason why some of these these goods are 387 00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:44,520 Speaker 5: moving back and forth is because he signed onto a 388 00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:48,360 Speaker 5: deal that incentivized companies to look at Canada, the United 389 00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:51,800 Speaker 5: States and Mexico is one block now the usmc A, 390 00:19:52,320 --> 00:19:54,919 Speaker 5: and to build in Mexico and to building Canada. So 391 00:19:55,280 --> 00:19:57,879 Speaker 5: that agreement incentivized a lot of them. One of the 392 00:19:57,880 --> 00:19:59,680 Speaker 5: prevalent things I'm hearing from a lot of CEOs is 393 00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:01,800 Speaker 5: that we've build our supply chain, we build our factories, 394 00:20:01,800 --> 00:20:05,280 Speaker 5: we build whatever we're building for decades. We're not building 395 00:20:05,560 --> 00:20:08,520 Speaker 5: for this administration. We're not building for the next four years. 396 00:20:08,760 --> 00:20:11,639 Speaker 5: So how do you make decade long decisions when you 397 00:20:11,720 --> 00:20:13,639 Speaker 5: know this person's going to be in the office for 398 00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:15,639 Speaker 5: four years and you don't know what the next person 399 00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:15,959 Speaker 5: may think. 400 00:20:15,960 --> 00:20:18,080 Speaker 4: They may have a totally different view on trade altogether? 401 00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:24,720 Speaker 1: This is an interesting time, right, So we talked about statflation, right, 402 00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:31,119 Speaker 1: inflationary environments that keeps coming up. Does this feel like 403 00:20:31,560 --> 00:20:34,320 Speaker 1: a negotiating tactic because we've been hearing that a lot 404 00:20:34,320 --> 00:20:36,720 Speaker 1: over the past couple of days. Is this negotiated tactic 405 00:20:36,840 --> 00:20:38,800 Speaker 1: to say, all right, let's get everybody to the table 406 00:20:39,040 --> 00:20:41,919 Speaker 1: so now we can finally figure out a tariff system 407 00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:45,040 Speaker 1: that works for us. I mean, it feels like a 408 00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:47,640 Speaker 1: waiting game in a sense where it's like we're gonna 409 00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:49,800 Speaker 1: feel some pain, and he's campaigned on that there's gonna 410 00:20:49,800 --> 00:20:50,560 Speaker 1: be short term pain. 411 00:20:50,880 --> 00:20:52,320 Speaker 3: We don't know how long short term is. 412 00:20:52,320 --> 00:20:56,359 Speaker 1: It could be relative, but eventually these countries will come 413 00:20:57,000 --> 00:21:00,399 Speaker 1: asking for a negotiation so that this can get settled 414 00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:01,879 Speaker 1: because uncertainty he doesn't help anyone. 415 00:21:01,880 --> 00:21:02,679 Speaker 2: Does it feel that way to you? 416 00:21:03,520 --> 00:21:05,560 Speaker 4: That's not the tone that I felt like the President 417 00:21:05,680 --> 00:21:06,080 Speaker 4: was striking. 418 00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:09,160 Speaker 5: He didn't seem like he was looking for deals or diplomacy, 419 00:21:09,280 --> 00:21:10,800 Speaker 5: at least that's what I took away from when he 420 00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:13,040 Speaker 5: was talking at the Rose Garden the other day. It 421 00:21:13,040 --> 00:21:14,520 Speaker 5: didn't sound like he wanted to make a deal. It 422 00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:16,400 Speaker 5: didn't sound like he wanted to be diplomatic. It didn't 423 00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:18,399 Speaker 5: sound like this was a ploy. Sounded like this is 424 00:21:18,400 --> 00:21:22,040 Speaker 5: what he really believed his administration should do, especially when 425 00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:23,760 Speaker 5: it came to those ten percent tariffs. Now some of 426 00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:26,240 Speaker 5: the other tariffs, I imagine there would be some room 427 00:21:26,240 --> 00:21:29,800 Speaker 5: for negotiation. Earlier today, I was talking to Carlos Scudierra's 428 00:21:29,800 --> 00:21:31,719 Speaker 5: former Commerce secretary under George W. 429 00:21:31,800 --> 00:21:32,359 Speaker 4: Bush. 430 00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:35,520 Speaker 5: He said he was in China, and according to the 431 00:21:35,560 --> 00:21:37,359 Speaker 5: people he spoke to, he's speaking to a lot of 432 00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:39,439 Speaker 5: high level people. He didn't tell me exactly who, but 433 00:21:39,480 --> 00:21:41,520 Speaker 5: talking to a lot of high level people that they 434 00:21:41,560 --> 00:21:44,000 Speaker 5: say they're nervous. There hasn't been any backchanneling as far 435 00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:46,200 Speaker 5: as they know. They haven't heard about a lot of 436 00:21:46,240 --> 00:21:49,520 Speaker 5: backchanneling going on. They're really kind of confused about some 437 00:21:49,560 --> 00:21:52,280 Speaker 5: of these tactics. You often hear President Trump say he 438 00:21:52,280 --> 00:21:54,560 Speaker 5: has a good relationship with she, and then you see 439 00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:58,919 Speaker 5: essentially fifty four percent tariffs on China, which is obviously 440 00:21:58,920 --> 00:22:00,639 Speaker 5: going to shake up a lot of some apply chains, 441 00:22:00,640 --> 00:22:04,359 Speaker 5: a lot of businesses. Apple's Won lou Lemons, one dollar trees, 442 00:22:04,359 --> 00:22:07,280 Speaker 5: and other stock hit hard like those extensive things come 443 00:22:07,320 --> 00:22:09,920 Speaker 5: from China. So I didn't get the impression there was 444 00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:12,200 Speaker 5: a lot of deals on the table at least now. 445 00:22:12,280 --> 00:22:14,760 Speaker 5: Now maybe the President's administration have a trick up their sleeve. 446 00:22:15,280 --> 00:22:17,960 Speaker 5: But you keep hearing these conflicting reports. Some people say 447 00:22:18,680 --> 00:22:20,560 Speaker 5: their sources are telling them the President wants to make 448 00:22:20,560 --> 00:22:22,480 Speaker 5: a deal, he wants to negotiate. Other people are saying 449 00:22:22,520 --> 00:22:25,800 Speaker 5: a deal isn't really what he's looking for unless people 450 00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:30,879 Speaker 5: make very substantial, substantial commitments to move their manufacturing to 451 00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:31,399 Speaker 5: the US. 452 00:22:32,280 --> 00:22:36,560 Speaker 2: So we have five thousand people on this live hit 453 00:22:36,600 --> 00:22:39,080 Speaker 2: the like button and share. So this is just a 454 00:22:39,200 --> 00:22:41,480 Speaker 2: random lib that we did that lets me know that 455 00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:44,439 Speaker 2: people have a lot of anxiety, but this is the 456 00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:46,640 Speaker 2: golden question that they want to have before we bring 457 00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:48,080 Speaker 2: our other guests into kind of make it a group 458 00:22:48,119 --> 00:22:51,960 Speaker 2: conversation stocks and we're going to talk about our opinions. 459 00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:55,920 Speaker 2: But you work in CNBC, so on stocks all day. 460 00:22:56,240 --> 00:23:01,600 Speaker 2: You talk stocks all day, right all day? Stocks? Where 461 00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:04,840 Speaker 2: we at with the stock market? This is this going 462 00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:06,560 Speaker 2: to be like a two thousand and eight thing with 463 00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:09,000 Speaker 2: this is just the beginning and we had it for 464 00:23:09,280 --> 00:23:12,640 Speaker 2: thirty percent thirty five percent stock market crash? 465 00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:15,440 Speaker 3: Why are you saying things like that? Man, we can't 466 00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:16,000 Speaker 3: have that out there. 467 00:23:16,040 --> 00:23:18,320 Speaker 4: I know, Man, you're a shot. He's putting the bad juju. 468 00:23:19,560 --> 00:23:21,720 Speaker 2: We got to speaking juju out there. 469 00:23:21,800 --> 00:23:24,000 Speaker 5: But on a serious note, I mean, isn't that the fear? 470 00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:25,359 Speaker 5: I think that's the fear that a lot of people have. 471 00:23:25,440 --> 00:23:29,200 Speaker 5: That's why today's see stocks like Progressive Insurance up one 472 00:23:29,240 --> 00:23:31,520 Speaker 5: and a half percent, all stayed up like two percent. 473 00:23:31,840 --> 00:23:34,800 Speaker 5: People are going putting their money in companies that you 474 00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:36,520 Speaker 5: know are gonna make money no matter what, No matter 475 00:23:36,520 --> 00:23:38,520 Speaker 5: what happens. You got to have your car insurance, you 476 00:23:38,560 --> 00:23:40,160 Speaker 5: know what I mean, no matter what happens. Your doctor 477 00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:42,360 Speaker 5: Pepper I think was up two percent. You're still going 478 00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:43,960 Speaker 5: to drink a soda, you know what I mean? Like, 479 00:23:43,960 --> 00:23:46,480 Speaker 5: you're not going to stop drinking soda because you're making 480 00:23:46,560 --> 00:23:48,719 Speaker 5: less money or your business isn't doing as well. Some 481 00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:50,720 Speaker 5: things people are going to continue to spend on. So 482 00:23:51,040 --> 00:23:53,000 Speaker 5: is the setup for something like that to happen? I mean, 483 00:23:53,119 --> 00:23:55,560 Speaker 5: I think all the smart people I'm talking to say yes. 484 00:23:55,880 --> 00:23:58,120 Speaker 5: I'm gonna start with my man, Jim Kramer from Mad Money. 485 00:23:58,160 --> 00:24:01,000 Speaker 5: He's saying, put some money on the sidelines, put some 486 00:24:01,040 --> 00:24:03,600 Speaker 5: cash on the sidelines, when generally he's saying, be invested 487 00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:05,600 Speaker 5: in the market. Even he's saying it's a little bit 488 00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:07,480 Speaker 5: too shaky. I'm talking to a lot of other traders. 489 00:24:07,760 --> 00:24:10,280 Speaker 5: They're saying, right now, it's just not a great environment 490 00:24:10,359 --> 00:24:11,800 Speaker 5: to trade it. A couple of weeks ago, a lot 491 00:24:11,840 --> 00:24:14,119 Speaker 5: of people thought we had hit a tradable bottom. The 492 00:24:14,119 --> 00:24:15,560 Speaker 5: fact that we were hitting the bottom until we got 493 00:24:15,560 --> 00:24:17,600 Speaker 5: this tariff announcement. Then when we get some clarity and 494 00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:20,199 Speaker 5: maybe some more volatility. But it feels like there might 495 00:24:20,280 --> 00:24:24,639 Speaker 5: be more volatility ahead. When you're seeing megacap tech just 496 00:24:24,880 --> 00:24:26,280 Speaker 5: sell off the way it did today. I think the 497 00:24:26,320 --> 00:24:29,240 Speaker 5: mag seven lost about one trillion dollars worth of market value. 498 00:24:29,240 --> 00:24:31,600 Speaker 5: When you see that happen, it's hard for the market 499 00:24:31,680 --> 00:24:33,720 Speaker 5: to really gain its footing. Remember those stocks are about 500 00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:36,639 Speaker 5: fifty five percent of the spy about fifty five percent 501 00:24:36,640 --> 00:24:39,440 Speaker 5: of the Triple Q. So I mean, with that kind 502 00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:42,399 Speaker 5: of concentration, those stocks under pressure, it's really hard for 503 00:24:42,440 --> 00:24:44,119 Speaker 5: the market just to really find its footing. And you 504 00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:46,800 Speaker 5: got to remember those stocks they're not necessarily tariff sensitive, 505 00:24:46,840 --> 00:24:48,920 Speaker 5: but not necessarily inflation sensitive, but they. 506 00:24:48,800 --> 00:24:49,800 Speaker 4: Are growth sensitive. 507 00:24:49,880 --> 00:24:52,560 Speaker 5: Companies need me to feel confident in their ability to grow, 508 00:24:52,840 --> 00:24:55,239 Speaker 5: to spend money on cloud computing, to spend money on 509 00:24:55,280 --> 00:24:58,120 Speaker 5: AI agents, and take these different steps. And if you're 510 00:24:58,200 --> 00:25:01,080 Speaker 5: unsure about the economy and what the administration is doing, 511 00:25:01,160 --> 00:25:03,000 Speaker 5: you're not gonna make those kind of investments. If you're 512 00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:04,399 Speaker 5: a CEO, it's hard to go to the board and 513 00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:06,560 Speaker 5: say I want to spend X amount of money to 514 00:25:06,600 --> 00:25:08,400 Speaker 5: move my stuff to the cloud or to put these 515 00:25:08,440 --> 00:25:10,360 Speaker 5: AI agents in you don't even know. 516 00:25:10,320 --> 00:25:10,879 Speaker 4: What's coming up. 517 00:25:11,760 --> 00:25:13,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's interesting when you talk about the Max seven 518 00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:15,919 Speaker 1: that one company that would probably be right on the 519 00:25:15,920 --> 00:25:19,119 Speaker 1: outside of that, Netflix was almost positive today they might 520 00:25:19,119 --> 00:25:21,040 Speaker 1: have closed positive P ANDNG like. 521 00:25:21,160 --> 00:25:23,000 Speaker 2: Stocks like that make sense because. 522 00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:26,119 Speaker 1: No matter what, you're gonna need your household supplies. You 523 00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:29,320 Speaker 1: said the tradable bottom, which is interesting because we all 524 00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:33,600 Speaker 1: knew that April second was coming and we circled that date, 525 00:25:33,640 --> 00:25:34,879 Speaker 1: and obviously we saw what happened. 526 00:25:34,920 --> 00:25:36,760 Speaker 2: But now it feels like maybe. 527 00:25:36,760 --> 00:25:39,520 Speaker 1: April ninth is one of those dates that we now 528 00:25:39,640 --> 00:25:42,680 Speaker 1: have to circle with the retaliatory terriffts coming back our 529 00:25:42,720 --> 00:25:45,760 Speaker 1: way from all these countries that we are now putting 530 00:25:45,760 --> 00:25:46,360 Speaker 1: taxes on. 531 00:25:46,720 --> 00:25:48,800 Speaker 3: What's been a sediment around the ninth. Now is the 532 00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:49,720 Speaker 3: day that we all. 533 00:25:49,600 --> 00:25:51,760 Speaker 1: Have to watch because we thought that was a tradable 534 00:25:51,760 --> 00:25:52,960 Speaker 1: bottom a few weeks ago. 535 00:25:53,560 --> 00:25:55,720 Speaker 3: Yesterday happened next Wednesday. 536 00:25:55,760 --> 00:25:58,840 Speaker 4: Who knows, man, I mean, you gotta watch the fourth, 537 00:25:59,400 --> 00:25:59,800 Speaker 4: the tenth. 538 00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:02,879 Speaker 5: I mean, there's still the potential for pharmaceutical tariffs, for 539 00:26:03,080 --> 00:26:07,920 Speaker 5: semiconductor chip tariffs, you know, lumber, copper. I mean just 540 00:26:07,960 --> 00:26:09,560 Speaker 5: there's so many different areas that can face tariff. So 541 00:26:09,600 --> 00:26:11,159 Speaker 5: I don't know if there's one date you can point to. 542 00:26:11,280 --> 00:26:13,320 Speaker 5: I think the next date. I think a lot of 543 00:26:13,320 --> 00:26:15,359 Speaker 5: people have it circled on their calendar, specifical when I'm 544 00:26:15,400 --> 00:26:17,960 Speaker 5: talking to people who manage money or who try to trade. 545 00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:20,720 Speaker 5: As actually made the seventh, that's the FED decision. So 546 00:26:20,760 --> 00:26:21,960 Speaker 5: a lot of people are starting to think that the 547 00:26:21,960 --> 00:26:24,480 Speaker 5: FED might have to get active. Previously, it was thought 548 00:26:24,680 --> 00:26:26,879 Speaker 5: very low chance of the FED cutting in May. I 549 00:26:26,920 --> 00:26:28,520 Speaker 5: think it was JP Morgan and came out and said 550 00:26:28,520 --> 00:26:30,480 Speaker 5: they believe that the next cut would come up in July. 551 00:26:30,840 --> 00:26:32,080 Speaker 5: I'm talking to a lot of people, a lot of 552 00:26:32,119 --> 00:26:35,040 Speaker 5: rumblings who think that the Fed, the FED officials ja 553 00:26:35,119 --> 00:26:36,600 Speaker 5: pale everybody else. They may feel like they need to 554 00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:38,680 Speaker 5: get ahead of this whole tariff situation and cut as 555 00:26:38,680 --> 00:26:41,080 Speaker 5: soon as May, which would certainly give the boost to 556 00:26:41,119 --> 00:26:43,040 Speaker 5: the market. I don't know if you guys ever know 557 00:26:43,080 --> 00:26:44,800 Speaker 5: this guy, Mark Smith from wellsbarg Wood Buyer, there's a 558 00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:46,400 Speaker 5: great guy. He's a guest on my show. He came 559 00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:48,119 Speaker 5: on and he was talking about two areas of the 560 00:26:48,119 --> 00:26:51,720 Speaker 5: market that he thinks not recession proof, not tariff proof, 561 00:26:51,800 --> 00:26:54,280 Speaker 5: but generally resistant to it. And one of them was 562 00:26:54,320 --> 00:26:58,080 Speaker 5: financials or another rate cut would significantly help the financials. I'm 563 00:26:58,080 --> 00:27:00,480 Speaker 5: talking to big banks like JP Morgan and Morgan Stanley, 564 00:27:00,760 --> 00:27:02,800 Speaker 5: Los Fargo City and stuff like that. So to me, 565 00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:04,800 Speaker 5: it's I think May seventh is the date, and we'll 566 00:27:04,800 --> 00:27:07,120 Speaker 5: probably have a lot of volatility until then. I think 567 00:27:07,119 --> 00:27:09,199 Speaker 5: the only certainty that we may get is from the 568 00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:10,240 Speaker 5: Fed that they're gonna cut. 569 00:27:11,240 --> 00:27:14,760 Speaker 2: Let's let's bring let's bring our other guests on Friends 570 00:27:14,800 --> 00:27:19,720 Speaker 2: of the Show. Friend of the Show, Caleb Still. 571 00:27:20,760 --> 00:27:22,520 Speaker 6: I didn't know Frank Collin was gonna be here. This 572 00:27:22,560 --> 00:27:24,280 Speaker 6: is a full party. Thanks for having man. 573 00:27:24,480 --> 00:27:25,800 Speaker 4: We're just hanging out down in Miami. 574 00:27:25,840 --> 00:27:31,159 Speaker 2: Actually, Chef Kwame, Oh yeah, nice, Your monks a great panel. 575 00:27:31,160 --> 00:27:34,320 Speaker 2: Man is a good dude, salad salad guy. So yeah, 576 00:27:34,520 --> 00:27:38,280 Speaker 2: Caleb Good, Friend of the Show, chief editor of Investopedia. 577 00:27:38,880 --> 00:27:40,760 Speaker 2: So I'm sure a lot of people have been hitting 578 00:27:40,800 --> 00:27:44,720 Speaker 2: yes sight trying to find out what tariffs are and 579 00:27:44,840 --> 00:27:47,920 Speaker 2: what when the recession is coming and stuff like that. 580 00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:53,800 Speaker 2: So from a historical standpoint, right, can you give us 581 00:27:53,840 --> 00:28:00,280 Speaker 2: some historical insight on tariffs and why America for the 582 00:28:00,359 --> 00:28:03,359 Speaker 2: last seventy years has been more free trade. We haven't 583 00:28:03,520 --> 00:28:09,280 Speaker 2: pushed this button of pariffs, but uh, because people a lot, 584 00:28:09,400 --> 00:28:11,800 Speaker 2: you know, a lot of that's that's a common theme. 585 00:28:11,840 --> 00:28:13,639 Speaker 2: People like, well, we've been getting ripped off for a 586 00:28:13,640 --> 00:28:16,280 Speaker 2: long time. They can't understand why we haven't done this 587 00:28:16,320 --> 00:28:19,399 Speaker 2: a lot earlier. Right, But there's there's a there's a 588 00:28:19,480 --> 00:28:20,679 Speaker 2: reason why we haven't done this. 589 00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:23,200 Speaker 6: Yeah, well we actually have and it was this smooth 590 00:28:23,240 --> 00:28:25,600 Speaker 6: holly tariff that kicked this whole thing off about one 591 00:28:25,640 --> 00:28:28,159 Speaker 6: hundred years ago. So we've been a tariff nation. And 592 00:28:28,240 --> 00:28:30,760 Speaker 6: in the early days of America Alexander Hamilt, they all 593 00:28:30,800 --> 00:28:33,720 Speaker 6: favored tariffs in order to raise some money for the government, 594 00:28:33,760 --> 00:28:37,040 Speaker 6: but never to this extent where we're being we're actually 595 00:28:37,280 --> 00:28:40,960 Speaker 6: putting a consumptive tax on our own citizens to pay 596 00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:43,520 Speaker 6: for this to raise money because they want to cut taxes. 597 00:28:43,560 --> 00:28:45,480 Speaker 6: This is a very, very weird way of doing it. 598 00:28:45,600 --> 00:28:47,400 Speaker 6: We have never had tariffs to this degree. But you've 599 00:28:47,360 --> 00:28:49,440 Speaker 6: got to remember Trump one point zero, there was over 600 00:28:49,440 --> 00:28:52,320 Speaker 6: three hundred billion dollars worth of tariffs. The Biden administration 601 00:28:52,440 --> 00:28:54,840 Speaker 6: came in and added more tariffs on top of that, 602 00:28:55,240 --> 00:28:57,480 Speaker 6: but when you look around the world, it's just never 603 00:28:57,520 --> 00:28:59,400 Speaker 6: been at this level. And the fact that we're coming 604 00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:02,160 Speaker 6: out with this ten percent cross the board tariffs, which really, 605 00:29:02,160 --> 00:29:05,200 Speaker 6: as I said, is a consumption tax for consumers here 606 00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:08,600 Speaker 6: in the United States, that's a very big precedent right there. 607 00:29:08,720 --> 00:29:12,280 Speaker 6: And I think it changes the entire global world order, 608 00:29:12,280 --> 00:29:15,440 Speaker 6: and it changes the way capital markets are going to work. 609 00:29:15,440 --> 00:29:17,720 Speaker 6: And I'll say it for this reason when you can't 610 00:29:17,760 --> 00:29:20,240 Speaker 6: and Frank was alluding to it a little bit. The 611 00:29:20,240 --> 00:29:22,320 Speaker 6: FED meeting is super important. But you got to wonder 612 00:29:22,360 --> 00:29:26,720 Speaker 6: if this level of tariffs and this intensity is intentional 613 00:29:26,960 --> 00:29:29,920 Speaker 6: by the Trump administration that wants lower interest rates. He 614 00:29:29,960 --> 00:29:32,440 Speaker 6: has said that back on the campaign trail and all along. 615 00:29:32,680 --> 00:29:36,360 Speaker 6: So by forcing the economy to slow down, it forces 616 00:29:36,400 --> 00:29:40,200 Speaker 6: the Fed's hand to lower interest rates so that our 617 00:29:40,560 --> 00:29:43,640 Speaker 6: debt payments, which we make every quarter as a country, 618 00:29:44,760 --> 00:29:47,000 Speaker 6: get reduced a little bit. We spend the second moused 619 00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:49,280 Speaker 6: amount of money we spend as a government is on 620 00:29:49,440 --> 00:29:52,560 Speaker 6: servicing our debt, which is over at trillion dollars just 621 00:29:52,600 --> 00:29:54,880 Speaker 6: servicing the debt. So if we can lower that, then 622 00:29:54,880 --> 00:29:58,200 Speaker 6: there's going to free up more money to do force deportations, 623 00:29:58,360 --> 00:30:00,400 Speaker 6: to build walls, to do whatever else is on the 624 00:30:00,400 --> 00:30:01,640 Speaker 6: agenda of this administration. 625 00:30:02,520 --> 00:30:04,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, it feels like is there a goal I know 626 00:30:04,320 --> 00:30:06,000 Speaker 1: there's been a lot of talk what is the goal 627 00:30:06,120 --> 00:30:08,440 Speaker 1: number or is there a goal number that they're trying 628 00:30:08,480 --> 00:30:10,560 Speaker 1: to receive from the terriffs? 629 00:30:10,600 --> 00:30:13,000 Speaker 3: Right, we obviously know that government spending and those. 630 00:30:12,920 --> 00:30:15,720 Speaker 1: Was created to reduce that, but it feels like the 631 00:30:15,800 --> 00:30:19,120 Speaker 1: uncertainty around the number, it kind of has no rhyme 632 00:30:19,240 --> 00:30:23,520 Speaker 1: or reason. So from your perspective, is there from the 633 00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:25,920 Speaker 1: deficit which is what thirty seven trillion? 634 00:30:25,960 --> 00:30:29,120 Speaker 3: Now, is this the best method forward? 635 00:30:29,200 --> 00:30:29,360 Speaker 2: Right? 636 00:30:29,360 --> 00:30:31,440 Speaker 3: Like we I know Shoty alluded to it earlier. 637 00:30:31,520 --> 00:30:34,880 Speaker 1: Right, sometimes you can't pull the bend aid off too fast. 638 00:30:35,600 --> 00:30:38,360 Speaker 1: Does it feel like this has happened? And obviously is 639 00:30:38,400 --> 00:30:39,720 Speaker 1: this the best method going forward? 640 00:30:40,240 --> 00:30:42,120 Speaker 6: No, but it is a method, and it is sort 641 00:30:42,120 --> 00:30:45,120 Speaker 6: of taking a sledgehammer to a you know, to a 642 00:30:45,160 --> 00:30:48,160 Speaker 6: small nail, because this is actually hurting lower to middle 643 00:30:48,200 --> 00:30:50,960 Speaker 6: income families more than anybody out there. It's that Peter 644 00:30:51,040 --> 00:30:53,400 Speaker 6: Navarro was a Trump advisor, says it's going to raise 645 00:30:53,400 --> 00:30:57,280 Speaker 6: six trillion dollars, not anytime soon. Right, These companies are 646 00:30:57,320 --> 00:30:59,400 Speaker 6: going to pull back on their shipments with our companies 647 00:30:59,440 --> 00:31:01,280 Speaker 6: here in the Knights States aren't going to order more. 648 00:31:01,320 --> 00:31:02,800 Speaker 6: So you're not going to feel the impacts of that. 649 00:31:02,920 --> 00:31:05,200 Speaker 6: Who's going to feel it? Consumers who have to go 650 00:31:05,240 --> 00:31:07,360 Speaker 6: to the grocery store, load up like they do every 651 00:31:07,360 --> 00:31:10,600 Speaker 6: single week, feed their families, right, buy supplies to fix 652 00:31:10,680 --> 00:31:13,720 Speaker 6: up their small business, order in inventory so they have 653 00:31:13,880 --> 00:31:16,120 Speaker 6: enough inventory in their small business to be able to 654 00:31:16,520 --> 00:31:18,160 Speaker 6: make it going forward. So this is more of a 655 00:31:18,200 --> 00:31:21,680 Speaker 6: punishment against consumers and households in the United States with 656 00:31:21,800 --> 00:31:24,960 Speaker 6: the intended impact of making people and other countries pay 657 00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:28,040 Speaker 6: their fair share. The fact is we've had a pretty 658 00:31:28,040 --> 00:31:30,200 Speaker 6: strong economy up until about two or three months ago 659 00:31:30,240 --> 00:31:32,960 Speaker 6: that was in pretty good shape. Four percent unemployment GDP 660 00:31:33,080 --> 00:31:35,960 Speaker 6: at two point eight percent, right, inflation was coming down. 661 00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:37,800 Speaker 6: It wasn't to where I wanted to be, to where 662 00:31:37,800 --> 00:31:39,400 Speaker 6: the Fed would like it to be, but it was 663 00:31:39,440 --> 00:31:41,880 Speaker 6: on its way moving a little bit lower. So this 664 00:31:41,920 --> 00:31:45,360 Speaker 6: is kind of like a complete change of the global 665 00:31:45,400 --> 00:31:48,520 Speaker 6: world order, and it calls into question things like the 666 00:31:48,600 --> 00:31:52,400 Speaker 6: sacredness of the tenure treasury right, the most widely held, 667 00:31:52,640 --> 00:31:56,800 Speaker 6: most saved asset in the world. Right, people own our 668 00:31:56,840 --> 00:31:59,200 Speaker 6: debt because they believe that our country will grow and 669 00:31:59,200 --> 00:32:00,960 Speaker 6: that will pay it back. Well, this is a big 670 00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:03,360 Speaker 6: shot at that right now. And it's also a big 671 00:32:03,360 --> 00:32:06,360 Speaker 6: shot at the dollar. So if the dollar becomes you know, 672 00:32:06,480 --> 00:32:09,280 Speaker 6: less desired and doesn't become the reserve currency anymore, which 673 00:32:09,400 --> 00:32:11,400 Speaker 6: we're a long way from that. Which if you lose 674 00:32:11,400 --> 00:32:13,560 Speaker 6: the yield the ten year treasure field and you lose 675 00:32:13,600 --> 00:32:16,080 Speaker 6: the dollar, you lose the structure of our capital markets, 676 00:32:16,120 --> 00:32:17,160 Speaker 6: and that's very concerning. 677 00:32:17,440 --> 00:32:21,360 Speaker 2: Well, this is some anybody can chime in. But so 678 00:32:21,400 --> 00:32:25,640 Speaker 2: this is this is what is a little confusing because 679 00:32:25,640 --> 00:32:28,920 Speaker 2: Trump has been he's been obsessed with tariff since the 680 00:32:29,000 --> 00:32:31,640 Speaker 2: nineteen eighties. So I don't know if this is like 681 00:32:31,800 --> 00:32:34,520 Speaker 2: just a personal crusade of his, like you know, kind 682 00:32:34,520 --> 00:32:37,520 Speaker 2: of like a bucket listing that he just was just 683 00:32:37,600 --> 00:32:39,920 Speaker 2: obsessed with his whole entire life and now he's just like, 684 00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:42,080 Speaker 2: I just want to do this because like you said, 685 00:32:42,120 --> 00:32:47,520 Speaker 2: I mean I it's if this continues, then we're most 686 00:32:47,560 --> 00:32:50,520 Speaker 2: likely head to a recession, right, So for presidents don't 687 00:32:50,560 --> 00:32:53,360 Speaker 2: like to be presidents during recession. So why would you 688 00:32:53,640 --> 00:32:58,760 Speaker 2: personally thank the economy for no reason? Like we weren't 689 00:32:58,840 --> 00:33:01,200 Speaker 2: in a bad spot. You said, we were actually in 690 00:33:01,280 --> 00:33:04,080 Speaker 2: a good spot as far as the market, the unemployment, 691 00:33:04,520 --> 00:33:08,480 Speaker 2: a variety of different things. Was actually, he's actually inherited 692 00:33:08,640 --> 00:33:13,040 Speaker 2: a pretty good situation. Now that the debt is an issue, 693 00:33:13,360 --> 00:33:18,680 Speaker 2: for sure, but it wasn't needed. It wasn't needed to 694 00:33:19,480 --> 00:33:23,400 Speaker 2: do it in this fashion, and a lot of people 695 00:33:23,480 --> 00:33:25,200 Speaker 2: is going to cause a lot of pain, and like 696 00:33:25,240 --> 00:33:29,040 Speaker 2: you said, lower to middle income people are going to 697 00:33:29,120 --> 00:33:32,560 Speaker 2: feel that pain the most, right because it's like, okay, 698 00:33:32,600 --> 00:33:34,360 Speaker 2: if you got to pay extra five hundred dollars for 699 00:33:34,440 --> 00:33:38,000 Speaker 2: something that's that's inconvenient if somebody is making forty thousand 700 00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:39,719 Speaker 2: dollars has to pay five hundred dollars for something that 701 00:33:39,720 --> 00:33:42,360 Speaker 2: that's life changing, that continued to be life changing, right, 702 00:33:42,880 --> 00:33:48,640 Speaker 2: So yeah, I'm trying to figure this out. So you guys, 703 00:33:49,040 --> 00:33:51,200 Speaker 2: you know what is your thought process? You brought up 704 00:33:51,200 --> 00:33:54,400 Speaker 2: the interest rates, that's interesting. But outside of that, why 705 00:33:54,400 --> 00:33:57,800 Speaker 2: would some why would he do this? Like why would 706 00:33:57,800 --> 00:34:02,480 Speaker 2: he have this much pain so early in his presidency 707 00:34:03,440 --> 00:34:04,480 Speaker 2: for no apparent reason? 708 00:34:06,840 --> 00:34:09,279 Speaker 6: Frank, you want to take it first, Not glad, Gil, 709 00:34:09,320 --> 00:34:09,799 Speaker 6: you're a start. 710 00:34:09,880 --> 00:34:11,600 Speaker 2: Okay, Here's what. 711 00:34:11,680 --> 00:34:15,800 Speaker 6: I think and this is my opinion, not Investipedia's opinion. 712 00:34:15,840 --> 00:34:18,160 Speaker 6: But I think that they want to burn it down, 713 00:34:18,200 --> 00:34:20,600 Speaker 6: you know, or at least slow the economy and take 714 00:34:20,600 --> 00:34:23,839 Speaker 6: it into a recession, bring the market way down, and 715 00:34:23,880 --> 00:34:27,480 Speaker 6: then through whatever mechanisms, either through private privatization, which is 716 00:34:27,480 --> 00:34:28,920 Speaker 6: where a lot of this is going. When you look 717 00:34:28,920 --> 00:34:31,919 Speaker 6: at a lot of the government job cuts, privatization so 718 00:34:31,960 --> 00:34:34,520 Speaker 6: that those that are in close can line their pockets 719 00:34:34,520 --> 00:34:36,960 Speaker 6: and get rich as they rebuild it back up, but 720 00:34:37,040 --> 00:34:41,720 Speaker 6: through private means, right, and then redistribute that wealth among 721 00:34:41,880 --> 00:34:43,480 Speaker 6: the people that are going to help them get re 722 00:34:43,600 --> 00:34:45,960 Speaker 6: elected in the future. So I think that's part of it. 723 00:34:46,200 --> 00:34:48,560 Speaker 6: I think there's also a let's burn it down so 724 00:34:48,600 --> 00:34:50,319 Speaker 6: we can build it back up and say, what a 725 00:34:50,320 --> 00:34:53,880 Speaker 6: great job we did rebuilding this economy which was in tatters. 726 00:34:53,960 --> 00:34:56,000 Speaker 6: It is so rare you mentioned it Vershot, It is 727 00:34:56,040 --> 00:34:58,399 Speaker 6: so rare for a president to come into office over 728 00:34:58,440 --> 00:35:01,480 Speaker 6: the last four decades. It's not in a recession. This 729 00:35:01,560 --> 00:35:05,160 Speaker 6: president inherited actually a pretty strong economy. Biden inherited an 730 00:35:05,160 --> 00:35:07,680 Speaker 6: economy that was coming out of the COVID pandemic. And 731 00:35:07,719 --> 00:35:10,680 Speaker 6: even the last two presidents they entered they entered the 732 00:35:10,680 --> 00:35:13,080 Speaker 6: White House in very difficult times for the economy. Not 733 00:35:13,160 --> 00:35:15,520 Speaker 6: this time around. So may burning it down and then 734 00:35:15,560 --> 00:35:17,719 Speaker 6: rebuilding it, say we fixed this whole thing, and look how. 735 00:35:17,640 --> 00:35:18,080 Speaker 2: We did it. 736 00:35:18,160 --> 00:35:20,560 Speaker 6: Meanwhile, a lot of it's been privatized and very few 737 00:35:20,560 --> 00:35:22,080 Speaker 6: people are getting very rich off of this. 738 00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:26,320 Speaker 5: When I look at it, it seems to me, again 739 00:35:26,360 --> 00:35:28,239 Speaker 5: this is my opinion on CNBC, it seems like to me, 740 00:35:28,280 --> 00:35:30,759 Speaker 5: a president's trying to establish a legacy. You know, he 741 00:35:30,800 --> 00:35:32,720 Speaker 5: felt like he was supposed to have back to back terms. 742 00:35:32,719 --> 00:35:33,800 Speaker 5: He's come back into office. 743 00:35:33,880 --> 00:35:34,120 Speaker 4: Now. 744 00:35:35,120 --> 00:35:37,840 Speaker 5: One way to establish a legacy is to reshape global 745 00:35:37,880 --> 00:35:40,359 Speaker 5: trade and put your mark on that. He's someone who 746 00:35:40,440 --> 00:35:42,920 Speaker 5: has done business all around the world, whether it be 747 00:35:42,920 --> 00:35:47,120 Speaker 5: casinos or golf courses. His first administration, he did hire 748 00:35:47,160 --> 00:35:49,520 Speaker 5: a lot of business leaders. This time it's even a 749 00:35:49,520 --> 00:35:52,320 Speaker 5: bigger concentration of business leaders and people with very. 750 00:35:52,160 --> 00:35:53,960 Speaker 4: Specific thoughts about the global economy. 751 00:35:53,960 --> 00:35:57,120 Speaker 5: As Treasury Secretary Scott Besson's a great example of that, 752 00:35:57,239 --> 00:35:59,640 Speaker 5: somebody who's just seen as a global thought leader when 753 00:35:59,680 --> 00:36:01,759 Speaker 5: it comes to finance. So I think for him it's 754 00:36:01,800 --> 00:36:04,399 Speaker 5: really his chance to put his stamp not only on 755 00:36:04,440 --> 00:36:07,280 Speaker 5: the presidency the second time around, but the entire world. 756 00:36:07,360 --> 00:36:09,040 Speaker 5: And I think you often hear him say when he's 757 00:36:09,040 --> 00:36:11,560 Speaker 5: talking to business leaders about things that he sees his accomplishments. 758 00:36:11,600 --> 00:36:14,000 Speaker 5: He goes, Trump got it done. Nobody else could get 759 00:36:14,040 --> 00:36:15,800 Speaker 5: it done. People are saying that Trump got it done. 760 00:36:16,000 --> 00:36:18,239 Speaker 5: So a lot of it seems like his legacy, at 761 00:36:18,320 --> 00:36:19,680 Speaker 5: least in his mind, is at play. And you have 762 00:36:19,719 --> 00:36:22,640 Speaker 5: to remember, this is somebody, based on what we saw 763 00:36:22,680 --> 00:36:24,960 Speaker 5: on reports and ourselves on TV, that faced, you know, 764 00:36:25,360 --> 00:36:30,880 Speaker 5: a near death experience, possibly being assassinated. He's an older gentleman. 765 00:36:30,920 --> 00:36:33,600 Speaker 5: He's close to about eighty years old himself. So when 766 00:36:33,600 --> 00:36:35,959 Speaker 5: you get to that stage as we all get older, 767 00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:38,360 Speaker 5: we start to think more about what am I leaving behind? 768 00:36:38,880 --> 00:36:41,319 Speaker 4: How are people going to see me? What accomplishments do 769 00:36:41,360 --> 00:36:41,560 Speaker 4: I have? 770 00:36:41,600 --> 00:36:45,080 Speaker 2: In this general seems I'm just say that's a very 771 00:36:45,120 --> 00:36:49,400 Speaker 2: good point. That's actually both of you. That's very insightful 772 00:36:49,400 --> 00:36:53,279 Speaker 2: what you just said. Because he puts his name on everything, right, 773 00:36:53,320 --> 00:36:55,000 Speaker 2: He's the guy that puts his name on stuff that 774 00:36:55,040 --> 00:36:57,759 Speaker 2: he doesn't even own, so like Trump, Tao and Trump, Like, 775 00:36:57,800 --> 00:37:00,920 Speaker 2: he's very big on branding and he's very big on legacy. 776 00:37:01,040 --> 00:37:04,080 Speaker 2: So he said this before as far as like if 777 00:37:04,080 --> 00:37:07,640 Speaker 2: he can be the person that literally reshapes world trade 778 00:37:08,120 --> 00:37:10,200 Speaker 2: from like how it's been for the last hundred years 779 00:37:10,160 --> 00:37:13,200 Speaker 2: in a free trade market, and if he can, if 780 00:37:13,239 --> 00:37:14,920 Speaker 2: he can, and now it can be like the Trump 781 00:37:14,960 --> 00:37:19,880 Speaker 2: Trade Plan for the world. Branding wise, I never I 782 00:37:19,920 --> 00:37:21,839 Speaker 2: haven't really thought about it like that, But that makes 783 00:37:21,880 --> 00:37:23,839 Speaker 2: a lot of sense. That actually makes a lot of sense. 784 00:37:23,840 --> 00:37:25,279 Speaker 1: It's kind of like what he alluded to, like what 785 00:37:25,320 --> 00:37:27,760 Speaker 1: you were saying. He's had this ideology since the eighties. 786 00:37:27,800 --> 00:37:30,000 Speaker 1: It was that Johnny Carson interview where he's sitting there 787 00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:32,640 Speaker 1: talking about trade. But even watching them today, it feels 788 00:37:32,680 --> 00:37:35,239 Speaker 1: like there's a certain level of delusion, right. I think 789 00:37:35,320 --> 00:37:38,919 Speaker 1: Josh Brown said it today, like he's either incredibly right 790 00:37:39,120 --> 00:37:43,960 Speaker 1: or he's going to be incredibly wrong about this. As 791 00:37:43,960 --> 00:37:47,720 Speaker 1: the market is tanking right, the Dall's down fifteen hundred points, 792 00:37:47,800 --> 00:37:49,840 Speaker 1: you know, reporters are asking him about it, and he said, no, 793 00:37:49,920 --> 00:37:50,799 Speaker 1: the market's looking great. 794 00:37:51,080 --> 00:37:52,520 Speaker 3: There's going to be a boom in the market. And 795 00:37:52,560 --> 00:37:54,360 Speaker 3: it just feels like a level of delusion. 796 00:37:54,640 --> 00:37:58,280 Speaker 1: Even to the point where we're talking about making jobs 797 00:37:58,320 --> 00:38:01,680 Speaker 1: come back to America and kill before you we would 798 00:38:01,719 --> 00:38:04,760 Speaker 1: kind of lou into it, like does that even feel 799 00:38:04,800 --> 00:38:05,799 Speaker 1: fathomable at this point? 800 00:38:05,920 --> 00:38:06,080 Speaker 2: Right? 801 00:38:06,120 --> 00:38:08,239 Speaker 1: The amount of time that it would take to build 802 00:38:08,280 --> 00:38:10,480 Speaker 1: some of these jobs. I know Nike took a crazy 803 00:38:10,560 --> 00:38:14,000 Speaker 1: hit Apple, Does this feel like something that is even 804 00:38:14,040 --> 00:38:16,879 Speaker 1: feasible over the next five years, because yeah, ten fifteen years, 805 00:38:16,920 --> 00:38:19,480 Speaker 1: you can build factory, you can build industry, but by 806 00:38:19,480 --> 00:38:22,839 Speaker 1: that time it won't These companies are going to take 807 00:38:22,880 --> 00:38:26,560 Speaker 1: such a financial hit people, the customers. Obviously, if the 808 00:38:26,560 --> 00:38:28,280 Speaker 1: companies is taking a hit, they're going to raise prices. 809 00:38:28,560 --> 00:38:30,239 Speaker 1: People are going to feel the impact. Is it even 810 00:38:30,280 --> 00:38:32,239 Speaker 1: feasible to do bring these jobs back? 811 00:38:32,640 --> 00:38:36,200 Speaker 6: Well, we've only got like thirteen million manufacturing jobs in 812 00:38:36,200 --> 00:38:38,239 Speaker 6: this country right now. That's down from like twenty million. 813 00:38:38,280 --> 00:38:40,200 Speaker 6: Even the President alluded to it himself. But there's a 814 00:38:40,239 --> 00:38:42,400 Speaker 6: reason a lot of people don't want those jobs. They 815 00:38:42,400 --> 00:38:45,120 Speaker 6: don't pay that well. They're really hard jobs, right, They're 816 00:38:45,200 --> 00:38:48,880 Speaker 6: very difficult, they're physically difficult, they require a lot of hours, 817 00:38:48,960 --> 00:38:51,680 Speaker 6: they don't pay that great. There's no more pensions anymore. 818 00:38:51,920 --> 00:38:53,920 Speaker 6: So who was doing those jobs. A lot of the 819 00:38:54,560 --> 00:38:57,359 Speaker 6: people that immigrated into the United States, the same people 820 00:38:57,440 --> 00:38:59,400 Speaker 6: he wants to send out of the United States, were 821 00:38:59,440 --> 00:39:02,960 Speaker 6: actually taking those jobs, right. So getting building the factories 822 00:39:03,000 --> 00:39:05,560 Speaker 6: is one thing. Creating factories where you can pay a 823 00:39:05,719 --> 00:39:08,520 Speaker 6: really livable a real livable wage, where somebody can raise 824 00:39:08,520 --> 00:39:10,480 Speaker 6: a family on it and maybe god forbid, own a 825 00:39:10,480 --> 00:39:12,680 Speaker 6: home at some point in time. That's asking a lot 826 00:39:12,719 --> 00:39:16,440 Speaker 6: of companies who are measured on a quarterly basis based 827 00:39:16,440 --> 00:39:19,359 Speaker 6: on their bottom line, right, they are responsible to shareholders. 828 00:39:19,480 --> 00:39:22,759 Speaker 6: So when you have a shareholder mentality, right, and you 829 00:39:22,800 --> 00:39:25,000 Speaker 6: have to answer to them every single quarter and increase 830 00:39:25,040 --> 00:39:28,040 Speaker 6: your you know, your projections and your your forecast going 831 00:39:28,080 --> 00:39:31,280 Speaker 6: forward and keep beating the street. And Frank knows as well, well, 832 00:39:31,440 --> 00:39:33,040 Speaker 6: you're not going to pay the best wages. You're going 833 00:39:33,120 --> 00:39:35,760 Speaker 6: to You're going to find the cheapest source of labor 834 00:39:36,000 --> 00:39:38,040 Speaker 6: that you can. And that cheap source of labor has 835 00:39:38,040 --> 00:39:41,040 Speaker 6: been Mexico, that has been Vietnam, that has been China, 836 00:39:41,040 --> 00:39:43,640 Speaker 6: that has been anywhere but here. So you're asking companies 837 00:39:43,680 --> 00:39:45,960 Speaker 6: to pay a lot more for that. And by putting 838 00:39:45,960 --> 00:39:48,400 Speaker 6: tariffs on products coming into this country and now the 839 00:39:48,400 --> 00:39:51,240 Speaker 6: retaliatory of tariffs, you're not solving that part of the problem. 840 00:39:51,400 --> 00:39:52,960 Speaker 6: The part of the problem that we have to solve 841 00:39:53,040 --> 00:39:55,719 Speaker 6: is are they responsible to their shareholders where they're responsible 842 00:39:55,760 --> 00:39:58,160 Speaker 6: to their communities, or are they responsible to the United 843 00:39:58,160 --> 00:40:00,680 Speaker 6: States to provide living wages for people so they can 844 00:40:00,760 --> 00:40:03,000 Speaker 6: raise families and disconnect. 845 00:40:03,120 --> 00:40:05,799 Speaker 2: You can't have it both ways. You can't well, I mean, 846 00:40:05,840 --> 00:40:10,640 Speaker 2: you can't have a capitalist society and then say well, 847 00:40:11,000 --> 00:40:14,760 Speaker 2: we want everything to work fairly. That's not how capitalism works. 848 00:40:15,600 --> 00:40:18,759 Speaker 2: This isn't. This isn't. You can't be anti socialism and 849 00:40:18,880 --> 00:40:22,680 Speaker 2: anti communism and say we want everybody equal. We want 850 00:40:22,719 --> 00:40:25,320 Speaker 2: to know the capitalist society is to make the most 851 00:40:25,400 --> 00:40:28,960 Speaker 2: money as possible by spending as least money as possible. 852 00:40:29,120 --> 00:40:32,680 Speaker 2: They're not doing anything illegal. It's not good business to 853 00:40:32,800 --> 00:40:37,000 Speaker 2: spend billions of dollars more than you need to. It's 854 00:40:37,280 --> 00:40:41,000 Speaker 2: more efficient to get the job done in those other 855 00:40:41,080 --> 00:40:44,200 Speaker 2: countries because you can pay the people less. This is 856 00:40:44,280 --> 00:40:46,439 Speaker 2: I mean, we don't have to sugarcoat it, right. It's 857 00:40:46,480 --> 00:40:48,840 Speaker 2: more efficient to get the job done in other countries 858 00:40:48,880 --> 00:40:51,839 Speaker 2: because you can pay the people less and you can 859 00:40:51,920 --> 00:40:55,640 Speaker 2: produce the products quicker, less red tape. You don't have 860 00:40:55,680 --> 00:40:58,560 Speaker 2: to go through regulation. They don't. It's a variety of 861 00:40:58,560 --> 00:41:00,640 Speaker 2: different factors. It's just like if you're building a home, 862 00:41:00,840 --> 00:41:04,000 Speaker 2: it's more effective to have illegal immigrants build a home 863 00:41:04,480 --> 00:41:08,000 Speaker 2: because they don't have health benefits, they're not part of 864 00:41:08,040 --> 00:41:10,160 Speaker 2: a union, and you can pay the people. Let's now, 865 00:41:10,280 --> 00:41:12,319 Speaker 2: is that morally right or wrong? You can make an 866 00:41:12,400 --> 00:41:14,040 Speaker 2: argument on both sides, because on one side you can 867 00:41:14,080 --> 00:41:15,600 Speaker 2: say it's morally wrong. On the other side, you can 868 00:41:15,600 --> 00:41:17,000 Speaker 2: say it's better than what they would get in the 869 00:41:17,000 --> 00:41:19,360 Speaker 2: other country. That's why they came to this country. So 870 00:41:19,560 --> 00:41:22,200 Speaker 2: it's not It may not be what you're looking for, 871 00:41:22,480 --> 00:41:26,040 Speaker 2: but you're not them, So this is not I don't 872 00:41:26,160 --> 00:41:29,840 Speaker 2: understand this, but this is easy for people. If you 873 00:41:29,920 --> 00:41:32,640 Speaker 2: haven't employed somebody, you don't have a full appreciation of this. 874 00:41:33,160 --> 00:41:36,440 Speaker 2: If you are an employer, then you look at you 875 00:41:36,480 --> 00:41:41,560 Speaker 2: look at things differently. So none of these companies are 876 00:41:41,680 --> 00:41:44,760 Speaker 2: going to be happy about spending more money. 877 00:41:45,040 --> 00:41:48,960 Speaker 1: Yeah right, I'm gonna come to you because you've been 878 00:41:48,960 --> 00:41:51,319 Speaker 1: You've spoken to CEOs. Right, we looked at the first quarter, 879 00:41:51,360 --> 00:41:53,080 Speaker 1: it was a negative quarter, and now you know we're 880 00:41:53,080 --> 00:41:56,239 Speaker 1: starting quarter too. I would CEOs even looking at their 881 00:41:56,239 --> 00:41:58,960 Speaker 1: p and ls at this point, right with the tariffs 882 00:41:58,960 --> 00:42:02,400 Speaker 1: that every day, it's que to how people going to 883 00:42:02,480 --> 00:42:05,400 Speaker 1: even be reporting their earnings. Obviously you're gonna have to 884 00:42:05,800 --> 00:42:08,719 Speaker 1: you're losing You're gonna lose employees, right, you're gonna make 885 00:42:08,800 --> 00:42:11,240 Speaker 1: less money. What does this look like in the CEO 886 00:42:11,360 --> 00:42:16,040 Speaker 1: world when Q two ends in June and this number 887 00:42:16,040 --> 00:42:17,400 Speaker 1: comes in, Well, we've. 888 00:42:17,280 --> 00:42:19,719 Speaker 5: Already seen CEOs just respond to some of this before 889 00:42:19,719 --> 00:42:22,040 Speaker 5: the terist were announced. Their guidance is pretty weak, which 890 00:42:22,160 --> 00:42:25,160 Speaker 5: often leads to their stock not doing well after earnings. 891 00:42:25,160 --> 00:42:28,480 Speaker 5: Even if the numbers for their earnings they're reporting are 892 00:42:28,520 --> 00:42:30,239 Speaker 5: fine for the quarter of their reporting are fine, the 893 00:42:30,239 --> 00:42:32,040 Speaker 5: guidance is weak. That leads to us off in some 894 00:42:32,080 --> 00:42:33,440 Speaker 5: of the stock. So that's one of the reasons we've 895 00:42:33,440 --> 00:42:35,719 Speaker 5: seen a lot of volatility, but very quickly, I want 896 00:42:35,719 --> 00:42:37,799 Speaker 5: to go back to Rashad's point for just a minute. Yet, 897 00:42:37,840 --> 00:42:39,880 Speaker 5: we're a capitalist country, but we're not pure it's not 898 00:42:39,920 --> 00:42:43,360 Speaker 5: pure play capitalist situation. Remember back during the Great Financial Crisis, 899 00:42:43,400 --> 00:42:45,239 Speaker 5: we built out the banks, So if we were a 900 00:42:45,239 --> 00:42:47,520 Speaker 5: capitalist country, the banks they made a lot of risky bets. 901 00:42:47,560 --> 00:42:48,120 Speaker 4: They lost. 902 00:42:48,680 --> 00:42:51,920 Speaker 5: They bet on housing, uh in the mortgage backed securities, 903 00:42:52,520 --> 00:42:54,400 Speaker 5: and they put them together in a way that just 904 00:42:54,600 --> 00:42:57,160 Speaker 5: wasn't solvent. They lost. So why don't Why didn't we 905 00:42:57,200 --> 00:42:59,160 Speaker 5: just let the banks go bankrupt? Because that's not that's 906 00:42:59,200 --> 00:43:01,200 Speaker 5: not going to work states because people have their money 907 00:43:01,200 --> 00:43:03,040 Speaker 5: in the banks. Why don't we let the auto industry 908 00:43:03,040 --> 00:43:05,480 Speaker 5: go bankrupt? Well, the audiancestry has tentacles and so many 909 00:43:05,480 --> 00:43:07,800 Speaker 5: other industries. Like we're seeing right now with the tarots, 910 00:43:07,840 --> 00:43:10,880 Speaker 5: it'd being impacted. If all the automakers went out of business, 911 00:43:10,960 --> 00:43:13,560 Speaker 5: it would lead to restaurants going out of business, the 912 00:43:13,600 --> 00:43:15,760 Speaker 5: trucking companies that ship the parts going out of business. 913 00:43:15,800 --> 00:43:18,960 Speaker 5: So we're not a pure play capitalist country. And I 914 00:43:18,960 --> 00:43:21,279 Speaker 5: think that's what a lot of CEOs are trying to 915 00:43:21,280 --> 00:43:23,000 Speaker 5: figure out, at least the ones I'm talking to. They're 916 00:43:23,040 --> 00:43:26,640 Speaker 5: trying to balance understanding the president's objective as much as 917 00:43:26,680 --> 00:43:28,040 Speaker 5: they can. A lot of them in that they're pretty 918 00:43:28,080 --> 00:43:30,879 Speaker 5: confused about the terror, specifically with Mexico and Canada when 919 00:43:30,920 --> 00:43:33,719 Speaker 5: he's the one that did USMCA, and doing what's right 920 00:43:33,760 --> 00:43:35,960 Speaker 5: for the company and trying not to lay off workers 921 00:43:36,000 --> 00:43:37,879 Speaker 5: and trying to keep products on the shelves and things 922 00:43:37,960 --> 00:43:40,480 Speaker 5: like that. So it's multi tiered. I feel like they're 923 00:43:40,520 --> 00:43:43,280 Speaker 5: almost as confused as we are, except, as you mentioned, Rashan, 924 00:43:43,560 --> 00:43:46,360 Speaker 5: they have the responsibility of a workforce, of a board 925 00:43:46,440 --> 00:43:49,319 Speaker 5: of shareholders that they have to try to balance. So 926 00:43:49,400 --> 00:43:51,239 Speaker 5: I think this earning season that's starting up in about 927 00:43:51,239 --> 00:43:52,800 Speaker 5: a week and a half is going to be pretty interesting. 928 00:43:52,840 --> 00:43:55,040 Speaker 5: The banks come up first, so the bank's going to 929 00:43:55,080 --> 00:43:57,759 Speaker 5: give us a lot of insight into loan demand, the 930 00:43:57,800 --> 00:44:02,120 Speaker 5: willingness of companies to go public, the credit situation, I mean, 931 00:44:02,160 --> 00:44:03,640 Speaker 5: a whole lot of things. We're gonna get a great 932 00:44:03,640 --> 00:44:06,120 Speaker 5: read on the economy. I think it's the first day. 933 00:44:06,160 --> 00:44:08,879 Speaker 5: I think it's City and JP Morgan that report. Don't mind, 934 00:44:08,960 --> 00:44:10,560 Speaker 5: we need to correct me. I might be wrong about that, 935 00:44:10,920 --> 00:44:13,040 Speaker 5: but two big banks will give us a lot of insight. 936 00:44:13,480 --> 00:44:16,400 Speaker 2: So okay, So let's go to this part because this 937 00:44:16,480 --> 00:44:19,799 Speaker 2: is the opportunities in every crisis. So I do want 938 00:44:19,840 --> 00:44:21,480 Speaker 2: to because you know when I came when I when 939 00:44:21,520 --> 00:44:23,840 Speaker 2: I used to be a financial advisor, and I started 940 00:44:23,880 --> 00:44:27,759 Speaker 2: during the I literally started my career during the Great Recession. 941 00:44:29,280 --> 00:44:31,440 Speaker 2: It was actually a good time to start because I 942 00:44:31,440 --> 00:44:34,200 Speaker 2: had nowhere to go but up, and I was putting 943 00:44:34,200 --> 00:44:36,920 Speaker 2: clients in mutual funds and five twenty nine plans, in 944 00:44:36,960 --> 00:44:40,719 Speaker 2: a variety of different things. And a lot of these 945 00:44:40,719 --> 00:44:43,319 Speaker 2: people had never invested in the stock market before, so 946 00:44:43,400 --> 00:44:45,239 Speaker 2: it was the first time invested in the stock market. 947 00:44:45,320 --> 00:44:47,399 Speaker 2: They was investing when the stock market was down thirty 948 00:44:48,080 --> 00:44:52,200 Speaker 2: five percent, and it worked out for them. So there 949 00:44:52,239 --> 00:44:55,560 Speaker 2: is opportunities in every crisis, and this is definitely a crisis. 950 00:44:55,920 --> 00:44:58,399 Speaker 2: So let's let's let's go to let's go through these 951 00:44:58,480 --> 00:45:05,600 Speaker 2: different ones. Flank Frank, Flank, Think, Think, Think black Rock COO. 952 00:45:07,560 --> 00:45:15,880 Speaker 2: He made interesting commentary about bitcoin, and this is interesting. 953 00:45:15,880 --> 00:45:20,959 Speaker 2: Bitcoin is interesting because usually bitcoin, traditionally, previously it wasn't 954 00:45:20,960 --> 00:45:24,239 Speaker 2: directly tied to world economies and the US dollar, but 955 00:45:24,280 --> 00:45:26,120 Speaker 2: now we see it's like a direct correlation. When the 956 00:45:26,120 --> 00:45:29,240 Speaker 2: stock market goes down, bitcoin goes down. They don't move opposite. 957 00:45:29,520 --> 00:45:32,399 Speaker 2: Gold has been going opposite. But bitcoin is pretty much 958 00:45:32,520 --> 00:45:35,960 Speaker 2: like a tech company at this point. It moves as 959 00:45:36,000 --> 00:45:39,920 Speaker 2: the stock market moves, and today it was down. But 960 00:45:41,760 --> 00:45:44,280 Speaker 2: do you see a world where this is actually beneficial 961 00:45:44,360 --> 00:45:46,959 Speaker 2: for bitcoin with the dollar because the dollar went down also, 962 00:45:47,000 --> 00:45:49,640 Speaker 2: that's another thing, Harris, are actually supposed to make the 963 00:45:49,680 --> 00:45:52,600 Speaker 2: dollars stronger, from my understanding, But in this case, the 964 00:45:52,680 --> 00:45:56,040 Speaker 2: dollar is actually decreasing, right, And I guess a lot 965 00:45:56,120 --> 00:45:58,560 Speaker 2: of that is just world sentiment that's kind of turning 966 00:45:58,640 --> 00:46:00,800 Speaker 2: negative across America. But then variety of other things that 967 00:46:00,840 --> 00:46:06,799 Speaker 2: you talked about. So okay, in this world of this 968 00:46:06,880 --> 00:46:10,640 Speaker 2: is hurtful to America for sure, what could this be 969 00:46:10,640 --> 00:46:11,800 Speaker 2: beneficial for bitcoin? 970 00:46:14,320 --> 00:46:14,799 Speaker 4: Okay, I'll hep. 971 00:46:14,880 --> 00:46:16,560 Speaker 6: You want to take it first, I'll take it first. 972 00:46:16,680 --> 00:46:20,080 Speaker 6: I mean, we know that fifty odd million people own 973 00:46:20,200 --> 00:46:22,560 Speaker 6: crypto in some way, shape or form, But we also 974 00:46:22,719 --> 00:46:25,560 Speaker 6: know that the top one percent owned the most of it, right, 975 00:46:25,719 --> 00:46:28,120 Speaker 6: and a lot of bitcoin is owned by publicly traded 976 00:46:28,160 --> 00:46:30,120 Speaker 6: companies like the micro strategies of the world that are 977 00:46:30,120 --> 00:46:33,840 Speaker 6: basically bitcoin treasuries. Even Tesla is like a bitcoin treasury, 978 00:46:34,120 --> 00:46:36,840 Speaker 6: so could be good just because of the scarcity aspect 979 00:46:36,880 --> 00:46:38,719 Speaker 6: of it all. And we used to live in this 980 00:46:38,760 --> 00:46:42,080 Speaker 6: world called Tina. Right, there is no alternative to stocks 981 00:46:42,280 --> 00:46:45,319 Speaker 6: because interest rates were solow. There was just stocks. Right, 982 00:46:45,520 --> 00:46:47,520 Speaker 6: You'd be a fool to invest in anything else. Until 983 00:46:47,719 --> 00:46:50,520 Speaker 6: bitcoin came along after the Great Financial Crisis. Well, now 984 00:46:50,520 --> 00:46:53,640 Speaker 6: you have this alternative asset. But for most people, they 985 00:46:53,640 --> 00:46:57,440 Speaker 6: don't know how to turn bitcoin whatever bitcoin owling is 986 00:46:57,440 --> 00:47:01,600 Speaker 6: they have into usable fiat to pay their utility bill. Right, 987 00:47:01,640 --> 00:47:04,200 Speaker 6: we still aren't at that level where it's just something 988 00:47:04,239 --> 00:47:06,480 Speaker 6: I can just oh, I'll just Apple pay with my 989 00:47:06,600 --> 00:47:09,200 Speaker 6: bitcoin right now. Now you can in a very few cases. 990 00:47:09,400 --> 00:47:10,879 Speaker 6: But when we're talking about the people that are going 991 00:47:10,880 --> 00:47:15,280 Speaker 6: get hurt the most by rising prices, stagflation, a potential recession, 992 00:47:15,600 --> 00:47:18,200 Speaker 6: higher tariffs, bitcoin is not going to be the answer 993 00:47:18,239 --> 00:47:20,719 Speaker 6: for them. So won't have that type of demand, that 994 00:47:20,840 --> 00:47:24,279 Speaker 6: mass demand, like we thought it would at some point 995 00:47:24,320 --> 00:47:28,319 Speaker 6: in time. At the same time, this is a deregulatory 996 00:47:29,160 --> 00:47:32,760 Speaker 6: administration that has been promising to stock file bitcoin added 997 00:47:32,760 --> 00:47:35,919 Speaker 6: to the reserves mind its own bitcoin, and I bet 998 00:47:35,960 --> 00:47:38,200 Speaker 6: you will eventually let it into our four to one 999 00:47:38,280 --> 00:47:40,920 Speaker 6: case fidelity all that announced that today or yesterday. You 1000 00:47:40,920 --> 00:47:43,520 Speaker 6: can now have bitcoin in your four to one k 1001 00:47:43,640 --> 00:47:45,160 Speaker 6: if you want. So. It is going to become a 1002 00:47:45,200 --> 00:47:47,120 Speaker 6: little bit more ubiquitous, but it's not going to become 1003 00:47:47,120 --> 00:47:49,480 Speaker 6: more useful. And I think right now we need a 1004 00:47:49,480 --> 00:47:53,359 Speaker 6: really useful currency and a dependable currency to get through 1005 00:47:53,400 --> 00:47:55,160 Speaker 6: any type of crisis that we're going to go through. 1006 00:47:55,200 --> 00:47:57,320 Speaker 6: It's not going to be the answer for the masses. 1007 00:47:57,360 --> 00:47:58,960 Speaker 6: It's going to be the answer for the very rich. 1008 00:47:59,160 --> 00:48:02,280 Speaker 6: And that's another thing that makes me wonder. Like usually 1009 00:48:02,360 --> 00:48:06,040 Speaker 6: the stock market falling, you know, into a correction, was 1010 00:48:06,480 --> 00:48:09,080 Speaker 6: a stoplight for President Trump and Trump one point zero, 1011 00:48:09,200 --> 00:48:13,120 Speaker 6: it's not anymore right. The tenure treasury yield spiking used 1012 00:48:13,160 --> 00:48:16,239 Speaker 6: to be oh, you know, maybe we've gone too far here, 1013 00:48:16,400 --> 00:48:20,120 Speaker 6: it's not anymore. Why is that they're deep into cryptocurrencies 1014 00:48:20,120 --> 00:48:23,839 Speaker 6: in that administration in person, the Trump coin, the Millennia coin, 1015 00:48:23,920 --> 00:48:27,160 Speaker 6: the family, all the different ETFs that they have associated 1016 00:48:27,200 --> 00:48:29,399 Speaker 6: with their coins and their meme coins. Maybe they don't 1017 00:48:29,400 --> 00:48:32,320 Speaker 6: really care about what has been traditional ways of growing 1018 00:48:32,320 --> 00:48:35,240 Speaker 6: wealth in this country because they're into it digitally, and 1019 00:48:35,280 --> 00:48:37,680 Speaker 6: again they're just here for now. I don't know. 1020 00:48:38,600 --> 00:48:40,800 Speaker 1: It definitely feels and this is why I feel like 1021 00:48:40,840 --> 00:48:44,279 Speaker 1: there's something that that savior complex is coming into play 1022 00:48:44,320 --> 00:48:44,839 Speaker 1: at some point. 1023 00:48:45,040 --> 00:48:46,799 Speaker 3: It's just a matter of time, right, There was a 1024 00:48:46,840 --> 00:48:47,719 Speaker 3: time in Trump one point. 1025 00:48:47,760 --> 00:48:50,160 Speaker 1: Oh, like you said, if the market was going down, 1026 00:48:50,880 --> 00:48:53,200 Speaker 1: it was a concerning issue. Right to hear him say 1027 00:48:53,200 --> 00:48:55,200 Speaker 1: that the market is looking great as a tal is 1028 00:48:55,200 --> 00:48:57,560 Speaker 1: down fifteen hundred points and the NASSAQ is down a 1029 00:48:57,600 --> 00:49:00,920 Speaker 1: thousand points, it's concerning, right. And the people that you 1030 00:49:01,080 --> 00:49:02,680 Speaker 1: said it's going to affect, and I'll let both of 1031 00:49:02,680 --> 00:49:05,080 Speaker 1: you guys can answer, are the middle class. Right, So 1032 00:49:05,120 --> 00:49:07,200 Speaker 1: when we're talking about the jobs coming back, and we're 1033 00:49:07,200 --> 00:49:10,560 Speaker 1: talking about living wages, we're talking about government funding being cut, 1034 00:49:10,560 --> 00:49:14,880 Speaker 1: we're talking about grow government programming being cut, that directly 1035 00:49:14,880 --> 00:49:17,160 Speaker 1: affects the middle class. And so obviously a lot of 1036 00:49:17,160 --> 00:49:19,520 Speaker 1: people who are watching him tonight are part of that class. 1037 00:49:20,920 --> 00:49:23,040 Speaker 3: What is the solace that they can take in this 1038 00:49:23,120 --> 00:49:24,200 Speaker 3: at this point? 1039 00:49:25,880 --> 00:49:27,759 Speaker 4: Man, I mean, is there any solace right now? I 1040 00:49:27,760 --> 00:49:29,839 Speaker 4: think it's hard to find any solace right now. I'm 1041 00:49:29,880 --> 00:49:30,839 Speaker 4: not sure about that one. 1042 00:49:30,880 --> 00:49:31,040 Speaker 1: Man. 1043 00:49:31,880 --> 00:49:34,680 Speaker 5: I'm gonna jump off of Kelp's point really quick. Kelp, 1044 00:49:34,680 --> 00:49:37,000 Speaker 5: to your point, Trump family is deep into crypto. I mean, 1045 00:49:37,120 --> 00:49:39,680 Speaker 5: Eric Trump, I think a couple maybe it was yesterday 1046 00:49:39,719 --> 00:49:41,480 Speaker 5: came out the headline saying that he was thinking about 1047 00:49:41,520 --> 00:49:45,520 Speaker 5: turning the family business, pivoting it filly into crypto. He's 1048 00:49:45,560 --> 00:49:50,400 Speaker 5: launching a bitcoin mining company, just doing a lot with cryptocurrencies. Overall, 1049 00:49:50,840 --> 00:49:52,680 Speaker 5: I think when it comes to bitcoin, least for right now, 1050 00:49:52,719 --> 00:49:54,799 Speaker 5: I don't think it's the moment for bitcoin. This is 1051 00:49:54,800 --> 00:49:57,840 Speaker 5: again my personal opinion, Caleb. Again to your point, a 1052 00:49:57,840 --> 00:50:00,120 Speaker 5: lot of those bigcoin buyers, they were institutional buying, as 1053 00:50:00,160 --> 00:50:00,640 Speaker 5: they were. 1054 00:50:00,520 --> 00:50:01,680 Speaker 4: Companies and things like that. 1055 00:50:02,000 --> 00:50:04,640 Speaker 5: Right now, people are trying to de risk their balance 1056 00:50:04,640 --> 00:50:08,200 Speaker 5: sheets and de risk their portfolios, whether you're a tech 1057 00:50:08,200 --> 00:50:12,000 Speaker 5: company like a Tesla or you're an institutional big bank 1058 00:50:12,120 --> 00:50:15,080 Speaker 5: doing it right now. And also they found their new thing, 1059 00:50:15,360 --> 00:50:18,439 Speaker 5: private credit. You saw a private credit ETF come out. 1060 00:50:19,000 --> 00:50:21,880 Speaker 5: So I think a lot of the interest when it 1061 00:50:21,920 --> 00:50:24,760 Speaker 5: comes to institutional buyers is private credit, which is basically 1062 00:50:24,800 --> 00:50:29,880 Speaker 5: private debt, loaning people money at high rates with basically 1063 00:50:31,160 --> 00:50:33,960 Speaker 5: higher levels of like collateral or you know, like you 1064 00:50:33,960 --> 00:50:35,920 Speaker 5: buy a house, you might put down ten percent, Well, 1065 00:50:35,920 --> 00:50:37,520 Speaker 5: a private credit deal might be you have to put 1066 00:50:37,520 --> 00:50:40,480 Speaker 5: down fifty percent or give collateral up to fifty percent. 1067 00:50:40,760 --> 00:50:43,160 Speaker 5: So that's becoming a lot more of a lucrative part 1068 00:50:43,160 --> 00:50:44,839 Speaker 5: of the market and also an area where they're trying 1069 00:50:44,840 --> 00:50:48,080 Speaker 5: to get They're hoping to get retail investors through ETFs, 1070 00:50:48,120 --> 00:50:51,440 Speaker 5: but institutional investors, a lot of money managers are pushing 1071 00:50:51,480 --> 00:50:54,799 Speaker 5: them towards private credit. So it seems like Wall Street, 1072 00:50:54,880 --> 00:50:57,000 Speaker 5: you know, they just find new things. Whether back in 1073 00:50:57,000 --> 00:51:00,680 Speaker 5: the day it was mortgage backed securities, now it's private 1074 00:51:00,680 --> 00:51:02,799 Speaker 5: credit for while this is a bitcoin ETF. So I 1075 00:51:02,840 --> 00:51:04,480 Speaker 5: just don't know if right now it's the time for bitcoin. 1076 00:51:04,480 --> 00:51:06,600 Speaker 5: I'm gonna be honest, I'm not a big cryptocurrency person. 1077 00:51:06,640 --> 00:51:10,160 Speaker 5: I hold some just to diversify my portfolio, but I'm 1078 00:51:10,160 --> 00:51:11,960 Speaker 5: not really sure which one's gonna win. I don't think 1079 00:51:12,000 --> 00:51:13,799 Speaker 5: any of us know which one's gonna win long term, 1080 00:51:13,880 --> 00:51:16,440 Speaker 5: or bitcoin will even be a thing ten years from now. 1081 00:51:16,480 --> 00:51:18,360 Speaker 5: Maybe it'll be all about a theorem or solana. 1082 00:51:18,400 --> 00:51:21,840 Speaker 4: I'm not really sure, right. 1083 00:51:21,640 --> 00:51:26,120 Speaker 6: So, what is the asset besides your home that working 1084 00:51:26,160 --> 00:51:28,239 Speaker 6: families can hold on to to try to continue to 1085 00:51:28,239 --> 00:51:30,799 Speaker 6: build wealth and pass it on to jet their generations. 1086 00:51:30,840 --> 00:51:34,279 Speaker 6: We've been teaching people for fifty sixty seventy years about 1087 00:51:34,280 --> 00:51:36,839 Speaker 6: the stock market. First it was mutual funds, right then 1088 00:51:36,880 --> 00:51:40,000 Speaker 6: it was index funds. Then it was ETFs, right, and 1089 00:51:40,080 --> 00:51:43,880 Speaker 6: now there's half as many stocks on the publicly traded 1090 00:51:43,920 --> 00:51:45,840 Speaker 6: markets then there used to be. Why is that, frank, 1091 00:51:46,200 --> 00:51:47,840 Speaker 6: Because it's a pain in the ass to be a 1092 00:51:47,840 --> 00:51:52,359 Speaker 6: publicly traded company managing quarter to quarter right, shareholders up 1093 00:51:52,400 --> 00:51:55,200 Speaker 6: your butt, increasing your forecast going forward? What's wrong with 1094 00:51:55,239 --> 00:51:57,799 Speaker 6: your profit margins? You know, how come you don't have 1095 00:51:57,920 --> 00:52:00,719 Speaker 6: enough DEI or whatever. It's a really hard thing to 1096 00:52:00,719 --> 00:52:02,759 Speaker 6: be a publicly traded company in this country. There's a 1097 00:52:02,760 --> 00:52:04,640 Speaker 6: ton of regulation. Now they're going to remove some of that. 1098 00:52:05,000 --> 00:52:08,279 Speaker 6: And at the same time, you know, if there's not 1099 00:52:08,320 --> 00:52:09,880 Speaker 6: going to be if there's going to be less publicly 1100 00:52:09,920 --> 00:52:13,080 Speaker 6: traded companies, and Wall Street keeps inventing new things to 1101 00:52:13,160 --> 00:52:16,920 Speaker 6: sell us in the form of private creditor or private 1102 00:52:16,920 --> 00:52:19,640 Speaker 6: equity in an ETF rapper, which is like, you know, 1103 00:52:19,960 --> 00:52:23,080 Speaker 6: my friend Tyrone says, it's like putting a putting a 1104 00:52:23,160 --> 00:52:27,279 Speaker 6: Ferrari engine in a in like a buick, right, It's 1105 00:52:27,280 --> 00:52:29,239 Speaker 6: like you're not going to get the most out of it. 1106 00:52:29,640 --> 00:52:31,600 Speaker 6: What are they doing that for? They're finding different ways 1107 00:52:31,600 --> 00:52:34,360 Speaker 6: to securitize things because the things that we have grown 1108 00:52:34,480 --> 00:52:36,759 Speaker 6: up investing in that where the building blocks of our 1109 00:52:36,800 --> 00:52:40,440 Speaker 6: wealth are becoming scarcer, and now the public markets, I'm afraid, 1110 00:52:40,480 --> 00:52:41,879 Speaker 6: are becoming less trustworthy. 1111 00:52:44,200 --> 00:52:44,600 Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't. 1112 00:52:44,600 --> 00:52:45,360 Speaker 2: I don't have an answer. 1113 00:52:46,000 --> 00:52:48,919 Speaker 5: Obviously, your your personal residence is a great investment because 1114 00:52:48,920 --> 00:52:51,440 Speaker 5: you can live in it, and ideally it also appreciates 1115 00:52:51,920 --> 00:52:53,640 Speaker 5: the other areas. I'm not sure. I think it just 1116 00:52:53,680 --> 00:52:56,040 Speaker 5: really depends. I mean, education is always a great investment, 1117 00:52:56,040 --> 00:52:58,239 Speaker 5: but the question is what is that education? College doesn't 1118 00:52:58,280 --> 00:53:00,440 Speaker 5: seem to make the same sense, and once did. I 1119 00:53:00,480 --> 00:53:02,719 Speaker 5: know a lot of people that graduate in debt and 1120 00:53:02,960 --> 00:53:05,600 Speaker 5: aren't really on a trajectory to ever get out of 1121 00:53:05,640 --> 00:53:07,080 Speaker 5: debt with the money that they're going to make if 1122 00:53:07,080 --> 00:53:09,920 Speaker 5: they plan to live even just a middle class lifestyle. 1123 00:53:10,080 --> 00:53:11,680 Speaker 5: You know, it's one thing if you go to college 1124 00:53:11,680 --> 00:53:13,200 Speaker 5: and you're going to live in a shack somewhere and 1125 00:53:13,239 --> 00:53:15,319 Speaker 5: save every penny, But who really wants to do that 1126 00:53:15,360 --> 00:53:16,720 Speaker 5: after spending four years to college. 1127 00:53:16,840 --> 00:53:19,320 Speaker 6: I do believe that stocks are still I still believe 1128 00:53:19,320 --> 00:53:22,120 Speaker 6: the stock market is going to eventually return to some 1129 00:53:22,200 --> 00:53:23,879 Speaker 6: sort of a mean return. I don't know if it'll 1130 00:53:23,920 --> 00:53:25,200 Speaker 6: be the twelve I'll. 1131 00:53:25,120 --> 00:53:27,240 Speaker 4: That you men outside of stocks though, yeah, outside of stocks, 1132 00:53:27,320 --> 00:53:27,759 Speaker 4: don't you. 1133 00:53:27,640 --> 00:53:30,400 Speaker 5: Think stocks are a great investment, especially over the long term, 1134 00:53:30,560 --> 00:53:32,279 Speaker 5: if you're willing to hold. Like all my show, I 1135 00:53:32,320 --> 00:53:34,120 Speaker 5: often question people they go, I'm a long term investment. 1136 00:53:34,120 --> 00:53:36,040 Speaker 5: I'm like, okay, but this is a show for people 1137 00:53:36,040 --> 00:53:38,759 Speaker 5: looking to make some short term and intermediate moves. But 1138 00:53:38,800 --> 00:53:41,120 Speaker 5: in general, holding stocks over the long term is the 1139 00:53:41,239 --> 00:53:43,719 Speaker 5: safest investment by far has been. 1140 00:53:44,280 --> 00:53:48,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, for sure, Okay, I'm glad you guys said that 1141 00:53:48,160 --> 00:53:52,240 Speaker 2: because they called me a doomsday alarmist a lot of times. 1142 00:53:52,280 --> 00:53:56,840 Speaker 2: But mean, thanks Frank for being honest. It's pretty consistent. 1143 00:53:58,560 --> 00:54:01,160 Speaker 2: How do you feel about investing right now as far 1144 00:54:01,200 --> 00:54:05,239 Speaker 2: as companies. Are you deploying money into the market right 1145 00:54:05,239 --> 00:54:08,279 Speaker 2: now or are you Because I'm always putting money into 1146 00:54:08,280 --> 00:54:11,800 Speaker 2: the market. My theory is that you have to force 1147 00:54:11,840 --> 00:54:14,600 Speaker 2: yourself to put money into the stock market every single month. 1148 00:54:14,960 --> 00:54:20,200 Speaker 2: That's my theory. So I'm a big believer in dollar 1149 00:54:20,239 --> 00:54:25,840 Speaker 2: cost averaging. Now, sometimes you put money in some things, 1150 00:54:25,880 --> 00:54:27,839 Speaker 2: you might not put money in other things. Right Like, 1151 00:54:27,920 --> 00:54:30,360 Speaker 2: I might see an opportunity where it's like, Okay, well, 1152 00:54:31,280 --> 00:54:33,440 Speaker 2: I think that it's time to be a little bit 1153 00:54:33,480 --> 00:54:35,680 Speaker 2: more conservative. I'm just gonna put money in S and 1154 00:54:35,680 --> 00:54:37,319 Speaker 2: P five hundred this month. I'm not gonna put money 1155 00:54:37,320 --> 00:54:41,040 Speaker 2: in stocks or I'm not fully confident in Apple. I'm 1156 00:54:41,040 --> 00:54:43,560 Speaker 2: not putting money in Apple. I might put money in QQQ, 1157 00:54:43,760 --> 00:54:47,239 Speaker 2: which Apple is a part of, but I feel more 1158 00:54:47,280 --> 00:54:50,840 Speaker 2: confident because it's diversified amongst a variety of other different 1159 00:54:50,880 --> 00:54:55,160 Speaker 2: companies besides one particular company. Or SMH is down a 1160 00:54:55,160 --> 00:55:00,080 Speaker 2: lot right now, So maybe SMH. I feel confident and 1161 00:55:00,160 --> 00:55:02,640 Speaker 2: putting some money in US and made show riding it out. 1162 00:55:02,680 --> 00:55:04,800 Speaker 2: That doesn't mean that it's not going to because I 1163 00:55:04,840 --> 00:55:09,080 Speaker 2: also firmly believe that we're headed to a recession if 1164 00:55:09,120 --> 00:55:11,759 Speaker 2: we don't, if this doesn't change. Let me preference this 1165 00:55:11,880 --> 00:55:16,600 Speaker 2: by saying this, if this teriff policy does not change, 1166 00:55:17,880 --> 00:55:20,160 Speaker 2: if it, if it does not change, we are we 1167 00:55:20,200 --> 00:55:22,800 Speaker 2: are going to be in a recession. And if we 1168 00:55:22,920 --> 00:55:25,600 Speaker 2: go into a recession, we're going to a bear market. 1169 00:55:25,640 --> 00:55:28,120 Speaker 2: And if we go into a bear market, stocks are 1170 00:55:28,120 --> 00:55:31,880 Speaker 2: going to fall lower than what they are now. I 1171 00:55:31,880 --> 00:55:35,320 Speaker 2: think that's that's my that's my thesis. But what are 1172 00:55:35,400 --> 00:55:35,799 Speaker 2: you doing? 1173 00:55:36,440 --> 00:55:38,080 Speaker 3: I think that's safe to say right now. 1174 00:55:38,520 --> 00:55:42,120 Speaker 1: Like I said, the number one catalyst is uncertainty, and 1175 00:55:42,160 --> 00:55:44,600 Speaker 1: that's what we're seeing consistently over the past couple of weeks. 1176 00:55:44,800 --> 00:55:47,839 Speaker 3: So you always have to have your targets, right. So, 1177 00:55:47,880 --> 00:55:49,680 Speaker 3: like we talk about in video, I know Ian said 1178 00:55:49,680 --> 00:55:50,600 Speaker 3: one O five's the number. 1179 00:55:50,640 --> 00:55:53,000 Speaker 2: Well it hit one O three today, but it's headed 1180 00:55:53,040 --> 00:55:53,480 Speaker 2: to ninety. 1181 00:55:54,600 --> 00:55:58,400 Speaker 1: Just well even that's fine, right. If I see it 1182 00:55:58,400 --> 00:56:00,520 Speaker 1: at ninety, it's even more attractive to me. Is it 1183 00:56:00,560 --> 00:56:02,080 Speaker 1: a company that I believe in? Is it a company 1184 00:56:02,120 --> 00:56:03,719 Speaker 1: I'm going to hold long term? It's a company that 1185 00:56:03,760 --> 00:56:06,919 Speaker 1: I have three thousand shares in. I'm not going anywhere, right, 1186 00:56:07,000 --> 00:56:08,359 Speaker 1: and so I'll buy more. 1187 00:56:08,560 --> 00:56:09,040 Speaker 2: I told you. 1188 00:56:09,120 --> 00:56:11,840 Speaker 1: An attractive company for the past two months has been Netflix. 1189 00:56:12,000 --> 00:56:15,320 Speaker 1: We saw how they reported after their last quarter. Obviously, 1190 00:56:15,320 --> 00:56:17,960 Speaker 1: what they're doing with live sports and the WWE, we 1191 00:56:18,000 --> 00:56:19,200 Speaker 1: actually witnessed it in the first hand. 1192 00:56:19,480 --> 00:56:21,880 Speaker 3: I like that company. How will tarists affect that? 1193 00:56:21,920 --> 00:56:24,200 Speaker 1: I'm not sure how it will affect it long term, 1194 00:56:24,200 --> 00:56:25,640 Speaker 1: but I see that at a discount. 1195 00:56:25,719 --> 00:56:26,000 Speaker 2: I like it. 1196 00:56:26,040 --> 00:56:28,319 Speaker 1: The other one is meta, right obviously, what they're doing 1197 00:56:28,360 --> 00:56:30,839 Speaker 1: and the role that they're going to play in connectivity 1198 00:56:30,920 --> 00:56:33,960 Speaker 1: throughout the world, not just here in America, and the 1199 00:56:34,000 --> 00:56:36,480 Speaker 1: global landscape that they have I like them too. And 1200 00:56:36,520 --> 00:56:38,440 Speaker 1: so when they get down to attractive prices. I know 1201 00:56:38,480 --> 00:56:40,959 Speaker 1: in videos just dropped thirty two percent. Apple dropped twenty 1202 00:56:41,000 --> 00:56:44,359 Speaker 1: percent today. The companies that you liked and you were 1203 00:56:44,400 --> 00:56:48,400 Speaker 1: waiting for them to be twenty five percent down from 1204 00:56:48,440 --> 00:56:51,000 Speaker 1: their all time highs, Well they're here. Will they go lower? 1205 00:56:51,440 --> 00:56:54,360 Speaker 1: They could, but they still attractive companies. Those are the 1206 00:56:54,400 --> 00:56:58,640 Speaker 1: companies that will lead this economy that you already allude to, Caleb, 1207 00:56:58,640 --> 00:57:01,960 Speaker 1: when you're talking about fifty five percent of the SMP 1208 00:57:02,400 --> 00:57:04,440 Speaker 1: is in the max seven, right, So these companies are 1209 00:57:04,480 --> 00:57:05,520 Speaker 1: gonna lead our economy. 1210 00:57:05,600 --> 00:57:07,040 Speaker 3: They're at discounted prices. 1211 00:57:07,719 --> 00:57:09,879 Speaker 1: Dollar clust averaging is important, but you're staying in these 1212 00:57:09,880 --> 00:57:12,440 Speaker 1: companies for the long term. Those are those are great companies, 1213 00:57:12,480 --> 00:57:14,960 Speaker 1: so you stay on. Now are we doing options on 1214 00:57:15,000 --> 00:57:15,680 Speaker 1: some of them? 1215 00:57:15,800 --> 00:57:16,280 Speaker 2: In video? 1216 00:57:16,520 --> 00:57:17,480 Speaker 3: It gets down to ninety? 1217 00:57:17,520 --> 00:57:19,120 Speaker 1: I like it because I can see out to twenty 1218 00:57:19,160 --> 00:57:21,520 Speaker 1: twenty seven, right, So when I start seeing twenty twenty 1219 00:57:21,560 --> 00:57:24,280 Speaker 1: seven calls where it's deep like December twenty twenty seven, 1220 00:57:25,080 --> 00:57:28,440 Speaker 1: I like that. I'm always using time as a barrier 1221 00:57:28,560 --> 00:57:31,080 Speaker 1: to help me fight off volatility. 1222 00:57:31,400 --> 00:57:33,120 Speaker 2: What about puts? Puts? 1223 00:57:33,120 --> 00:57:34,600 Speaker 3: As know, I see everybody in chat. I feel like 1224 00:57:34,600 --> 00:57:35,640 Speaker 3: everybody's doing that right. 1225 00:57:35,560 --> 00:57:39,320 Speaker 1: Now, right everybody kept circling April second. They're looking at 1226 00:57:39,320 --> 00:57:41,440 Speaker 1: April second as a date. They know that taffs are 1227 00:57:41,440 --> 00:57:45,480 Speaker 1: going to get into effect. They start buying puts on indexes, right, 1228 00:57:45,520 --> 00:57:47,240 Speaker 1: so they bought it, put on the on the SMP, 1229 00:57:47,360 --> 00:57:48,960 Speaker 1: they bought puts on QQQ. 1230 00:57:49,200 --> 00:57:52,280 Speaker 3: Why, Well, exactly what happened today. 1231 00:57:52,800 --> 00:57:55,440 Speaker 1: Now we don't know what certainty looks like or uncertainty 1232 00:57:55,480 --> 00:57:57,240 Speaker 1: looks like for the next couple of weeks. Like you said, 1233 00:57:57,320 --> 00:58:00,520 Speaker 1: if this doesn't change, I mean, it's he's safe to 1234 00:58:00,520 --> 00:58:01,560 Speaker 1: say that recession is at it. 1235 00:58:01,840 --> 00:58:03,960 Speaker 3: And that's just by definition two negative quarters. 1236 00:58:04,120 --> 00:58:07,040 Speaker 1: I can't see how these tarffs going to affect this month. 1237 00:58:07,160 --> 00:58:09,440 Speaker 1: And this is a positive quarter for most of these companies. 1238 00:58:09,680 --> 00:58:11,600 Speaker 2: We're on the ver we're on the verge of a 1239 00:58:11,640 --> 00:58:15,000 Speaker 2: global meltdown, a global recession. I don't think XRP is 1240 00:58:15,000 --> 00:58:16,560 Speaker 2: going to be the answer. I don't know why people 1241 00:58:16,560 --> 00:58:20,200 Speaker 2: are so obsessed with XRP. It's confusing to me. But 1242 00:58:21,200 --> 00:58:24,600 Speaker 2: out of every out of every vehicle that you can 1243 00:58:24,800 --> 00:58:28,600 Speaker 2: think about, x RP is the one golden child. It 1244 00:58:28,640 --> 00:58:31,360 Speaker 2: hasn't done anything in seven years. It goes up and 1245 00:58:31,440 --> 00:58:35,680 Speaker 2: comes down, and I'm just it's just this. But this 1246 00:58:35,760 --> 00:58:38,120 Speaker 2: goes back to the lack of education, and it also 1247 00:58:38,160 --> 00:58:40,720 Speaker 2: goes back to the Gamber's mentality. And it's also how 1248 00:58:40,800 --> 00:58:43,080 Speaker 2: much education can we give you? Guys. We've been giving 1249 00:58:43,120 --> 00:58:45,520 Speaker 2: you education every single day for seven years. So for 1250 00:58:45,600 --> 00:58:51,000 Speaker 2: you to champion XRP, it's disappointing because it's like, I'm 1251 00:58:51,040 --> 00:58:52,880 Speaker 2: not saying that it has no future at all, but 1252 00:58:53,240 --> 00:58:57,040 Speaker 2: out of everything in the world, XRP is the one 1253 00:58:57,080 --> 00:58:58,600 Speaker 2: thing that you're going to die on. 1254 00:59:00,000 --> 00:59:03,480 Speaker 1: Doesn't cost much, right, people can load their money inside 1255 00:59:03,480 --> 00:59:05,240 Speaker 1: of it, that there's uncertainty around it. 1256 00:59:06,000 --> 00:59:08,240 Speaker 3: We heard that the sec is now settled. 1257 00:59:08,680 --> 00:59:13,840 Speaker 1: It's the hope, right, and the hope of it, as Franklin, 1258 00:59:14,360 --> 00:59:16,480 Speaker 1: a lot of people in Vegas will hope exactly. 1259 00:59:16,560 --> 00:59:19,960 Speaker 3: That's why we never put hope into the equation. 1260 00:59:20,080 --> 00:59:20,200 Speaker 4: Right. 1261 00:59:20,200 --> 00:59:22,000 Speaker 1: You want to make sure you do enough research and 1262 00:59:22,000 --> 00:59:23,880 Speaker 1: you're investing in long term and some things that we 1263 00:59:24,040 --> 00:59:28,680 Speaker 1: know are proven to increase the GDP of our economy 1264 00:59:28,720 --> 00:59:29,080 Speaker 1: for sure. 1265 00:59:29,200 --> 00:59:32,120 Speaker 2: Well, let me ask you guys this from a global perspective, right, 1266 00:59:32,560 --> 00:59:35,320 Speaker 2: how do you think the percept How does this affect 1267 00:59:35,320 --> 00:59:38,200 Speaker 2: Because everybody's mad at America right now. That's another part 1268 00:59:38,200 --> 00:59:41,600 Speaker 2: of this equation from world leaders. But then citizens like 1269 00:59:41,600 --> 00:59:44,320 Speaker 2: people I've seen Canadian citizens that's like they're not going 1270 00:59:44,360 --> 00:59:47,480 Speaker 2: to America because they're boycott in America. Like there's a 1271 00:59:47,640 --> 00:59:51,760 Speaker 2: global settlement that is setting in of people that's mad 1272 00:59:51,840 --> 00:59:54,800 Speaker 2: at America. How how how do you think that is 1273 00:59:54,960 --> 00:59:58,800 Speaker 2: playing in and what what is the long term effects 1274 00:59:58,840 --> 01:00:01,000 Speaker 2: of that? Because America was alway he's known is like 1275 01:00:01,320 --> 01:00:03,080 Speaker 2: the place you want to go to. It's like the 1276 01:00:03,720 --> 01:00:04,480 Speaker 2: cool place to be. 1277 01:00:04,640 --> 01:00:07,160 Speaker 6: But we're cool, we got the funds, we got blue 1278 01:00:07,200 --> 01:00:09,520 Speaker 6: jeans over here, We're a lot of fun. But right 1279 01:00:09,560 --> 01:00:12,920 Speaker 6: now nobody wants to come right. So it's gonna hurt 1280 01:00:13,000 --> 01:00:15,560 Speaker 6: on the tourism front, it's gonna hurt on the trade front, 1281 01:00:15,640 --> 01:00:18,200 Speaker 6: we know that, but also just on the cultural you know, 1282 01:00:18,280 --> 01:00:20,320 Speaker 6: it's hard to put a number on this, but you know, 1283 01:00:20,520 --> 01:00:24,160 Speaker 6: cultural influence has a wealth impact as well, and you 1284 01:00:24,200 --> 01:00:27,000 Speaker 6: can see it in entertainment obviously when movies go from 1285 01:00:27,040 --> 01:00:30,320 Speaker 6: here over there, you know, over to Europe or Asia 1286 01:00:30,360 --> 01:00:33,760 Speaker 6: where certainly Marvel and those other franchises are massive, but 1287 01:00:33,800 --> 01:00:37,280 Speaker 6: they also have parks over there. Disney operates around the world, 1288 01:00:37,400 --> 01:00:40,800 Speaker 6: right Coca Cola sells its product around the world for 1289 01:00:41,000 --> 01:00:42,800 Speaker 6: I think half the companies in the S and P 1290 01:00:42,920 --> 01:00:46,440 Speaker 6: five hundred forty percent of the revenue comes from overseas. 1291 01:00:46,760 --> 01:00:49,640 Speaker 6: So that's gonna hurt both on the sentiment front, on 1292 01:00:49,720 --> 01:00:53,440 Speaker 6: the brand front, and also again, what is the cultural 1293 01:00:53,520 --> 01:00:56,720 Speaker 6: impact from a from a dollar perspective that these companies 1294 01:00:56,760 --> 01:00:58,680 Speaker 6: are going to feel because they come from the United 1295 01:00:58,720 --> 01:01:02,440 Speaker 6: States or they're associated with the United States, like Mickey Mouse, 1296 01:01:02,720 --> 01:01:06,120 Speaker 6: like Coca Cola. Right, there's nothing more American than these companies, 1297 01:01:06,320 --> 01:01:08,120 Speaker 6: and I think they're going to suffer abroad as well. 1298 01:01:08,960 --> 01:01:10,680 Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, I think that's a great point. But 1299 01:01:10,680 --> 01:01:12,640 Speaker 5: you got to remember we're a service economy. Like the 1300 01:01:12,680 --> 01:01:14,520 Speaker 5: things that we export our services, and one of those 1301 01:01:14,520 --> 01:01:17,720 Speaker 5: things is education. So as long as we have Harvard, Stanford, 1302 01:01:18,320 --> 01:01:21,160 Speaker 5: you know, Georgia tech people will come to the United States. 1303 01:01:21,200 --> 01:01:24,560 Speaker 2: Well that's on the fire now, people with the administration 1304 01:01:24,720 --> 01:01:27,520 Speaker 2: doing what they're doing with Columbia and Harvard, and they 1305 01:01:27,920 --> 01:01:31,439 Speaker 2: now people saying like that the education thing, which we want. 1306 01:01:31,680 --> 01:01:35,840 Speaker 2: You were right, but now education is under attack. All 1307 01:01:35,880 --> 01:01:40,280 Speaker 2: of these Ivy League schools are shuffling because what they're 1308 01:01:40,320 --> 01:01:42,840 Speaker 2: doing is the administration is putting so much pressure on 1309 01:01:42,880 --> 01:01:46,240 Speaker 2: these schools that they're forcing them to change policy. Now 1310 01:01:46,320 --> 01:01:49,439 Speaker 2: they're they're upsetting students and they're upsetting faculty. But then, 1311 01:01:49,480 --> 01:01:51,720 Speaker 2: on one hand, they got to satisfy administration and they 1312 01:01:51,760 --> 01:01:54,040 Speaker 2: got to satisfy people that's giving them money. On the 1313 01:01:54,040 --> 01:01:59,440 Speaker 2: other hand, they're sacrificing their credibility with the students and 1314 01:01:59,600 --> 01:02:03,040 Speaker 2: factult and real academia, right, because that's not how the 1315 01:02:03,160 --> 01:02:06,320 Speaker 2: academic really works. So, yeah, you're right, But at what 1316 01:02:06,440 --> 01:02:09,800 Speaker 2: point do people say, well, yeah, I'm not going to 1317 01:02:09,840 --> 01:02:13,120 Speaker 2: school in America anymore because I might get arrested from 1318 01:02:13,160 --> 01:02:16,640 Speaker 2: a plant closed police officer and sent to Houston and 1319 01:02:17,000 --> 01:02:19,320 Speaker 2: held in a detention center for six months. 1320 01:02:19,720 --> 01:02:22,480 Speaker 5: I mean, that seems to be something that's emerging as 1321 01:02:22,520 --> 01:02:25,200 Speaker 5: an issue because we've seen some people, you know, according 1322 01:02:25,160 --> 01:02:27,600 Speaker 5: to reports, essentially get taken off the street. But can 1323 01:02:27,680 --> 01:02:29,920 Speaker 5: I tell you from my personal experiences anecdotal When I 1324 01:02:29,960 --> 01:02:32,400 Speaker 5: went to business school, about three quarters of my class 1325 01:02:32,480 --> 01:02:35,840 Speaker 5: was from Asia, and a lot of them were very wealthy, 1326 01:02:35,880 --> 01:02:37,959 Speaker 5: Like the parking lot I got my NBA from Bentley 1327 01:02:38,040 --> 01:02:42,200 Speaker 5: University up in Boston. The parking lot had BMW's, Bentley's 1328 01:02:42,240 --> 01:02:44,760 Speaker 5: things I'd never seen before, and I would ask my 1329 01:02:44,880 --> 01:02:47,080 Speaker 5: classmates like you're you know, why'd you come over from? 1330 01:02:47,160 --> 01:02:49,440 Speaker 5: Whether it be China or Taiwan or wherever. They're just like, 1331 01:02:49,560 --> 01:02:51,400 Speaker 5: you know, my parents wanted me to get an education 1332 01:02:51,480 --> 01:02:53,680 Speaker 5: in the US. They thought it was you know, they 1333 01:02:53,680 --> 01:02:55,160 Speaker 5: saw a lot of prestige and me going to school 1334 01:02:55,200 --> 01:02:57,280 Speaker 5: in Boston. So at least in the near term, I 1335 01:02:57,280 --> 01:02:58,960 Speaker 5: don't think that really changes, you know. 1336 01:02:59,080 --> 01:03:00,320 Speaker 4: I mean, the the. 1337 01:03:00,200 --> 01:03:02,520 Speaker 5: Prestige of American schools, the experience of going to an 1338 01:03:02,520 --> 01:03:04,040 Speaker 5: American school from when I hear I didn't go to 1339 01:03:04,040 --> 01:03:08,400 Speaker 5: college anywhere else. It's very different than going to college overseas. Also, 1340 01:03:08,480 --> 01:03:10,480 Speaker 5: just the networking ability you get to meet people in 1341 01:03:10,520 --> 01:03:14,240 Speaker 5: the United States potentially make business contacts. But that paradigm, 1342 01:03:14,440 --> 01:03:16,480 Speaker 5: to your point, could be changing. Because a lot of 1343 01:03:16,560 --> 01:03:18,600 Speaker 5: the people that I worked that I went to school with, 1344 01:03:19,000 --> 01:03:20,040 Speaker 5: their parents sent them over here. 1345 01:03:20,160 --> 01:03:21,720 Speaker 4: There was the prestige of going to school in the US. 1346 01:03:21,760 --> 01:03:23,920 Speaker 5: And also you meet people here in the US and 1347 01:03:23,920 --> 01:03:26,360 Speaker 5: then hopefully you make business contacts that work for their 1348 01:03:26,400 --> 01:03:27,560 Speaker 5: businesses overseas. 1349 01:03:29,200 --> 01:03:31,800 Speaker 1: Is it sustainable though, right we I had a very 1350 01:03:31,800 --> 01:03:35,400 Speaker 1: insightful conversation in terms of just college, yes, the prestige, 1351 01:03:35,400 --> 01:03:40,040 Speaker 1: but the battle for the future won't be from an institution, right, Like, 1352 01:03:40,040 --> 01:03:44,400 Speaker 1: if we're talking about the advancement and artificial intelligence, it 1353 01:03:44,440 --> 01:03:47,080 Speaker 1: won't be a battle for like who's more intelligent because 1354 01:03:47,080 --> 01:03:49,840 Speaker 1: they went to said ivy League school. It'll be like 1355 01:03:49,880 --> 01:03:52,040 Speaker 1: who has more of a purpose and who has a skill. 1356 01:03:52,200 --> 01:03:55,880 Speaker 1: Because if an agent can learn a four year degree 1357 01:03:55,880 --> 01:03:57,720 Speaker 1: in ten minutes, then I could just work with the 1358 01:03:57,760 --> 01:03:59,600 Speaker 1: agent and save myself the time and the money that's 1359 01:03:59,600 --> 01:04:00,240 Speaker 1: going to cause me to. 1360 01:04:00,200 --> 01:04:01,000 Speaker 2: Actually go to school. 1361 01:04:01,320 --> 01:04:05,600 Speaker 3: So how sustainable is that mindset of, Hey, we have 1362 01:04:05,680 --> 01:04:06,400 Speaker 3: the best schools. 1363 01:04:06,800 --> 01:04:08,480 Speaker 5: That's a tough question. At least in the near term. 1364 01:04:08,520 --> 01:04:10,240 Speaker 5: I think it's pretty sustainable. But I think that goes 1365 01:04:10,280 --> 01:04:12,840 Speaker 5: full circuit. We were talking about, like, you know, is 1366 01:04:12,880 --> 01:04:14,920 Speaker 5: going to college the best decision for a lot of people? 1367 01:04:15,040 --> 01:04:16,880 Speaker 5: And I know that you know this show obviously focused 1368 01:04:16,880 --> 01:04:19,360 Speaker 5: on the black and brown community. Is that does that 1369 01:04:19,360 --> 01:04:21,400 Speaker 5: always make sense? Why not a trade school? I mean 1370 01:04:22,000 --> 01:04:24,040 Speaker 5: when you talk to people, a lot of the millionaires 1371 01:04:24,040 --> 01:04:26,280 Speaker 5: that are at golf clubs and doing things their plumbers, 1372 01:04:26,320 --> 01:04:29,320 Speaker 5: they're contractors, they do hvac. You're seeing a lot of 1373 01:04:29,320 --> 01:04:31,720 Speaker 5: people build their wealth that way, and then the jobs 1374 01:04:31,760 --> 01:04:34,160 Speaker 5: of the future really going full circle we're talking about 1375 01:04:34,160 --> 01:04:34,880 Speaker 5: what are those going to be. 1376 01:04:34,920 --> 01:04:36,440 Speaker 4: Are there's going to be jobs where you need. 1377 01:04:36,520 --> 01:04:38,760 Speaker 5: A four year degree or you need the ability to 1378 01:04:38,840 --> 01:04:41,480 Speaker 5: learn and adapt and can you learn those skills that 1379 01:04:41,560 --> 01:04:44,520 Speaker 5: you need to use physically better at a trade school 1380 01:04:44,600 --> 01:04:47,600 Speaker 5: or some type of other technical school. I have mixed, 1381 01:04:47,920 --> 01:04:51,640 Speaker 5: like really mixed feelings about the tariffs. You know, in theory, 1382 01:04:51,800 --> 01:04:53,800 Speaker 5: it kind of makes sense that it would bring jobs 1383 01:04:53,880 --> 01:04:56,400 Speaker 5: back here. I also hear what you're saying is that 1384 01:04:56,440 --> 01:04:57,880 Speaker 5: a lot of these jobs are going to be taken 1385 01:04:57,960 --> 01:05:02,080 Speaker 5: by robots and things like that. But I do think 1386 01:05:02,120 --> 01:05:03,760 Speaker 5: you have to try to bring some jobs back here 1387 01:05:03,800 --> 01:05:06,200 Speaker 5: so people can start with those jobs and get upskilled 1388 01:05:06,200 --> 01:05:08,040 Speaker 5: to the jobs they are going to exist in the future. 1389 01:05:08,720 --> 01:05:11,360 Speaker 5: I've seen various estimates, but I've seen one estimate was 1390 01:05:11,400 --> 01:05:14,160 Speaker 5: that sixty percent of the jobs that exist today didn't 1391 01:05:14,200 --> 01:05:19,080 Speaker 5: exist before World War Two. So you have to start somewhere, 1392 01:05:19,520 --> 01:05:22,520 Speaker 5: especially for lower income people, and whether it's assembling. Nobody 1393 01:05:22,560 --> 01:05:25,480 Speaker 5: dreams of assembling an iPhone and some factory in Idaho 1394 01:05:25,600 --> 01:05:28,480 Speaker 5: or Iowa, but that's the start, and then hypothetically you 1395 01:05:28,520 --> 01:05:30,920 Speaker 5: can be upskilled to the higher tech jobs of the 1396 01:05:30,920 --> 01:05:33,400 Speaker 5: future where you work side by side with the robot 1397 01:05:33,800 --> 01:05:37,560 Speaker 5: or you do augmented reality, whatever you're doing, but you 1398 01:05:37,600 --> 01:05:38,640 Speaker 5: do have to start somewhere. 1399 01:05:39,040 --> 01:05:41,440 Speaker 2: Well, you also brought up a good point where you 1400 01:05:41,520 --> 01:05:46,040 Speaker 2: said seventy percent of classmates was from Asia. That's another 1401 01:05:46,040 --> 01:05:49,720 Speaker 2: thing that we talked about. That's another problem, right, like 1402 01:05:49,960 --> 01:05:53,680 Speaker 2: we as a society are actually getting dumber. This is 1403 01:05:53,720 --> 01:05:56,160 Speaker 2: not my personal opinion, this has just been proven. We're 1404 01:05:56,200 --> 01:05:57,720 Speaker 2: not even in the top twenty when it comes to 1405 01:05:57,800 --> 01:06:00,760 Speaker 2: education in the world, might not even be in the 1406 01:06:00,760 --> 01:06:03,840 Speaker 2: top forty. So even a lot of these high the 1407 01:06:03,920 --> 01:06:06,760 Speaker 2: high paying jobs and not going to Americans anyway. We 1408 01:06:06,840 --> 01:06:09,000 Speaker 2: came back from Silicon Valley. We was in Meta and 1409 01:06:09,000 --> 01:06:11,480 Speaker 2: we was in Nvidia, and all of the people there 1410 01:06:11,520 --> 01:06:15,280 Speaker 2: were either from China or from India. So yeah, I mean, 1411 01:06:15,320 --> 01:06:17,160 Speaker 2: we're bringing jobs if we're going to try to bring 1412 01:06:17,240 --> 01:06:19,280 Speaker 2: jobs back to America. But like you said, those are 1413 01:06:19,320 --> 01:06:21,320 Speaker 2: low paying jobs for the most part. Even if it's 1414 01:06:21,320 --> 01:06:23,680 Speaker 2: a high paying, low paying job, it's still a low 1415 01:06:23,720 --> 01:06:25,720 Speaker 2: paying job when you factor in inflation of a variety 1416 01:06:25,760 --> 01:06:29,560 Speaker 2: of these really high paying jobs Americans aren't getting anyway 1417 01:06:29,800 --> 01:06:35,040 Speaker 2: because of education. We're not educated enough to actually do 1418 01:06:35,120 --> 01:06:35,920 Speaker 2: these jobs anyway. 1419 01:06:36,960 --> 01:06:40,240 Speaker 4: But you got to start somewhere like ice work in Detroit. 1420 01:06:40,280 --> 01:06:42,120 Speaker 5: I spent a lot of time in Detroit, So I mean, 1421 01:06:42,360 --> 01:06:43,840 Speaker 5: I think there's a lot of potential for someone to 1422 01:06:43,920 --> 01:06:46,880 Speaker 5: start on the assembly line at a Ford plan and 1423 01:06:47,000 --> 01:06:49,000 Speaker 5: get an idea like, man, I can do this better 1424 01:06:49,000 --> 01:06:51,280 Speaker 5: than you create a stamping plan, or you create some 1425 01:06:51,320 --> 01:06:53,880 Speaker 5: other part plan, or you create some innovation. 1426 01:06:54,040 --> 01:06:56,200 Speaker 4: But you have to be in that room to get 1427 01:06:56,200 --> 01:06:56,680 Speaker 4: the insight. 1428 01:06:56,920 --> 01:06:59,920 Speaker 2: But we was, but we never moved up from the 1429 01:07:00,120 --> 01:07:01,920 Speaker 2: So Frank, we've been doing that job for one hundred 1430 01:07:01,920 --> 01:07:05,080 Speaker 2: and fifty years, like saying, like, I hear what you're saying, 1431 01:07:05,120 --> 01:07:08,040 Speaker 2: but it's twenty twenty five. We don't need to start 1432 01:07:08,040 --> 01:07:10,040 Speaker 2: at the ground level anymore. We got to start at 1433 01:07:10,080 --> 01:07:12,280 Speaker 2: the highest level because we've been at the ground level 1434 01:07:12,320 --> 01:07:15,320 Speaker 2: forever and that promise of moving up the ladder has 1435 01:07:15,360 --> 01:07:17,040 Speaker 2: never We've never moved up the ladder. 1436 01:07:17,280 --> 01:07:20,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's like preparing for a race forever, Like the 1437 01:07:20,080 --> 01:07:23,880 Speaker 1: races is already being ran, but we can't get to 1438 01:07:23,880 --> 01:07:24,720 Speaker 1: the starting line and. 1439 01:07:24,640 --> 01:07:25,560 Speaker 2: Say, all right, we're ready. 1440 01:07:25,600 --> 01:07:28,160 Speaker 1: No, they already are running the marathon right like we 1441 01:07:28,480 --> 01:07:30,680 Speaker 1: it's not even playing catchup. But we got to participate 1442 01:07:30,720 --> 01:07:33,400 Speaker 1: in the space where it's like, all right, well, we 1443 01:07:33,440 --> 01:07:36,600 Speaker 1: can't start at the ground and we can see where 1444 01:07:36,600 --> 01:07:39,800 Speaker 1: this is headed. We have to be in this race 1445 01:07:39,800 --> 01:07:41,640 Speaker 1: for the long run, or else we're gonna stay at 1446 01:07:41,640 --> 01:07:44,040 Speaker 1: the finish the start line, Like all right, I think 1447 01:07:44,040 --> 01:07:45,560 Speaker 1: we're ready to go. I think we're ready to go. 1448 01:07:46,040 --> 01:07:47,280 Speaker 3: Like, no, I. 1449 01:07:47,280 --> 01:07:49,280 Speaker 2: Get what you guys are saying, but you gotta When 1450 01:07:49,280 --> 01:07:51,760 Speaker 2: he said they taking black jobs, right, I mean that's 1451 01:07:51,760 --> 01:07:55,600 Speaker 2: what essentially he's referring to, right, Like, but it's like, 1452 01:07:55,880 --> 01:07:59,280 Speaker 2: low skilled jobs are not low paying, and low skilled 1453 01:07:59,360 --> 01:08:03,520 Speaker 2: jobs are not a halfway to it's not a sustainable future. Right, 1454 01:08:03,600 --> 01:08:05,920 Speaker 2: So it's like, even why are we really even fighting 1455 01:08:05,920 --> 01:08:09,600 Speaker 2: for these jobs? They're not sustainable. They're not sustainable. Like 1456 01:08:09,720 --> 01:08:14,800 Speaker 2: putting together an iPhone is not aspirational and it's not sustainable. 1457 01:08:14,960 --> 01:08:18,200 Speaker 2: That's not something that I don't think our focus should 1458 01:08:18,200 --> 01:08:18,400 Speaker 2: be on. 1459 01:08:21,560 --> 01:08:24,080 Speaker 5: I understand everything you're saying, but you got to start somewhere. 1460 01:08:24,200 --> 01:08:26,519 Speaker 5: And while Kelb's pointing out that the US unemployments are 1461 01:08:26,520 --> 01:08:29,080 Speaker 5: about four percent, Black unemployment is higher than that, and 1462 01:08:29,120 --> 01:08:31,160 Speaker 5: a lot of us are are skewed more towards as 1463 01:08:31,160 --> 01:08:34,920 Speaker 5: you're talking about lower paying jobs, I'm not saying that 1464 01:08:34,960 --> 01:08:37,120 Speaker 5: manufacturing jobs are the cure all and it's going to 1465 01:08:37,160 --> 01:08:41,320 Speaker 5: fix everything. But oftentimes manufacturing jobs are steady. They pay 1466 01:08:41,400 --> 01:08:43,439 Speaker 5: better than service jobs, even pay better than some of 1467 01:08:43,439 --> 01:08:45,919 Speaker 5: the warehousing jobs. They've got really popular dround the pandemic. 1468 01:08:46,120 --> 01:08:49,759 Speaker 5: They come with benefits. They provide a ladder for people 1469 01:08:49,760 --> 01:08:51,360 Speaker 5: that want to use it. Similar to the military. The 1470 01:08:51,400 --> 01:08:53,439 Speaker 5: military doesn't pay great, but if you get into the 1471 01:08:53,479 --> 01:08:56,240 Speaker 5: military and you learn how to use some of those resources, 1472 01:08:56,280 --> 01:08:58,000 Speaker 5: it can be a ladder up. Some people get out 1473 01:08:58,000 --> 01:09:00,240 Speaker 5: the military and you're right, they don't have any more 1474 01:09:00,280 --> 01:09:01,400 Speaker 5: skills than when they got in there. 1475 01:09:02,320 --> 01:09:06,120 Speaker 2: Let me ask you this, both of you guys, before 1476 01:09:06,120 --> 01:09:08,120 Speaker 2: we wrap, I want to get your opinion because the 1477 01:09:08,160 --> 01:09:11,040 Speaker 2: political aspect plays a part too. So Elon Mush. You see, 1478 01:09:11,520 --> 01:09:14,360 Speaker 2: he's been under a lot of pressure and it's starting 1479 01:09:14,360 --> 01:09:18,960 Speaker 2: to backfire. They lost the judicial race in Wisconsin, which 1480 01:09:18,960 --> 01:09:20,840 Speaker 2: he put a lot of money into, twenty five million, 1481 01:09:20,880 --> 01:09:22,519 Speaker 2: So that to me is a sign that there's some 1482 01:09:22,680 --> 01:09:27,080 Speaker 2: level of there's a revolt politically. This usually always happens 1483 01:09:27,120 --> 01:09:29,439 Speaker 2: that one party gets in then the other party has 1484 01:09:29,439 --> 01:09:31,559 Speaker 2: a favor because they could just say the other party's 1485 01:09:31,560 --> 01:09:35,479 Speaker 2: messing up. But Trump he's pretty hell bent on what 1486 01:09:35,520 --> 01:09:38,759 Speaker 2: he wants to do, and everybody around him is gonna 1487 01:09:38,960 --> 01:09:42,439 Speaker 2: agree with it. I wonder, at what point if the 1488 01:09:42,479 --> 01:09:44,800 Speaker 2: stock market doesn't cause enough pain, Like if we go 1489 01:09:44,840 --> 01:09:47,040 Speaker 2: into recession, we lose thirty percent of the stock market 1490 01:09:47,080 --> 01:09:49,320 Speaker 2: and that's not enough pain, At what point through the 1491 01:09:49,360 --> 01:09:54,479 Speaker 2: Republic does the Republican establishment put pressure on Trump because 1492 01:09:54,479 --> 01:09:58,400 Speaker 2: they're saying that this is starting to backfire on us, right, 1493 01:09:58,600 --> 01:10:01,599 Speaker 2: because a downward a is not beneficial for a political 1494 01:10:01,640 --> 01:10:03,719 Speaker 2: part that's in power. So they're going to start getting 1495 01:10:03,720 --> 01:10:06,400 Speaker 2: blamed for it eventually. Right. So he might not kick 1496 01:10:06,439 --> 01:10:10,200 Speaker 2: because he only has one term left. But if allegedly, 1497 01:10:10,439 --> 01:10:13,320 Speaker 2: but if the Republican establishment, which I don't even know 1498 01:10:13,320 --> 01:10:15,320 Speaker 2: if there is a Publican establishment at this point, it's 1499 01:10:15,439 --> 01:10:20,160 Speaker 2: just maga. Can political pressure to get put on him 1500 01:10:20,439 --> 01:10:24,960 Speaker 2: to the reverse course if things get too bad? Yeah? 1501 01:10:25,040 --> 01:10:28,920 Speaker 6: Well, money talks, right, uh. And as soon as you know, 1502 01:10:29,160 --> 01:10:31,599 Speaker 6: some of those donors start losing some of their money, 1503 01:10:31,600 --> 01:10:33,680 Speaker 6: and some of the big donors or some of the 1504 01:10:33,680 --> 01:10:36,559 Speaker 6: big governors start losing donors in their states and losing 1505 01:10:36,640 --> 01:10:40,440 Speaker 6: those statewide races, which doesn't allow them to do the redistricting, 1506 01:10:40,439 --> 01:10:43,240 Speaker 6: which doesn't allow them to do the remapping to then 1507 01:10:43,560 --> 01:10:45,800 Speaker 6: stay in power for the next twelve years. That's what 1508 01:10:45,920 --> 01:10:47,600 Speaker 6: I think is start to see a little bit of 1509 01:10:47,640 --> 01:10:50,000 Speaker 6: a pullback because it's clearly not the stock market. We've 1510 01:10:50,000 --> 01:10:52,880 Speaker 6: already seen that, it's not the bond market. We've definitely 1511 01:10:52,960 --> 01:10:54,719 Speaker 6: seen that. I think people are going to get angry, 1512 01:10:54,760 --> 01:10:56,519 Speaker 6: They're going to get hungry, and they're going to get mad. 1513 01:10:56,560 --> 01:10:58,960 Speaker 6: This summer, we'll see what that does or whether this 1514 01:10:59,000 --> 01:11:01,120 Speaker 6: government is just going to clap down with martial law. 1515 01:11:01,360 --> 01:11:03,400 Speaker 6: That remains to be seen too. Like what happens when 1516 01:11:03,400 --> 01:11:05,559 Speaker 6: people hit the streets because they are just so mad 1517 01:11:05,600 --> 01:11:07,559 Speaker 6: they can't take it anymore. That's what we're going to 1518 01:11:07,600 --> 01:11:09,680 Speaker 6: end up seeing how this government responds to that, and 1519 01:11:09,720 --> 01:11:12,880 Speaker 6: how the rest of the nation observes that and says, oh, 1520 01:11:12,960 --> 01:11:14,880 Speaker 6: is that how we're handling our people now? I mean, 1521 01:11:14,960 --> 01:11:17,040 Speaker 6: you already talked about people being taken off the street 1522 01:11:17,600 --> 01:11:20,120 Speaker 6: and being deported to Houston and stuff like that. What 1523 01:11:20,200 --> 01:11:22,360 Speaker 6: happens when people get really mad and start taking to 1524 01:11:22,400 --> 01:11:24,880 Speaker 6: the streets, right, and what happens when the big money 1525 01:11:24,920 --> 01:11:28,000 Speaker 6: stops flowing into the people that have put this administration 1526 01:11:28,080 --> 01:11:30,360 Speaker 6: in power. That's probably when you're going to see some movement. 1527 01:11:31,560 --> 01:11:32,360 Speaker 4: That's a great question. 1528 01:11:33,000 --> 01:11:37,160 Speaker 5: I think the midterms longer horizon, the midterms for the 1529 01:11:37,240 --> 01:11:40,320 Speaker 5: CORECT for congressional races is going to be a key test. 1530 01:11:40,880 --> 01:11:43,519 Speaker 5: If the Trump back candidates win the midterms, I think 1531 01:11:43,520 --> 01:11:46,000 Speaker 5: that extends his influence even though he's a lame dug president. 1532 01:11:46,400 --> 01:11:48,680 Speaker 5: If they don't, I think that's going to be a 1533 01:11:48,760 --> 01:11:52,519 Speaker 5: clear dividing line in his influence Before then, I'm not 1534 01:11:52,560 --> 01:11:54,840 Speaker 5: really sure because I mean, look at Tesla Elon Musk. 1535 01:11:55,479 --> 01:11:57,559 Speaker 4: I mean I can't I don't remember how much he's lost. 1536 01:11:57,560 --> 01:11:59,439 Speaker 4: I think he's lost about six hundred million dollars. 1537 01:11:59,600 --> 01:12:04,360 Speaker 5: Yeah, stop, Yeah, he's certainly been impacted. And also I 1538 01:12:04,400 --> 01:12:07,120 Speaker 5: think some of his plans for the future are potentially impacted. 1539 01:12:07,880 --> 01:12:09,519 Speaker 5: Like you know how we when you ride hill a car, 1540 01:12:09,600 --> 01:12:11,439 Speaker 5: you call it a uber and there's only an uber 1541 01:12:11,439 --> 01:12:12,800 Speaker 5: and lyft, but you still call it a uber, Like 1542 01:12:12,800 --> 01:12:14,479 Speaker 5: I'm gonna get an uber even when you're doing a lyft. 1543 01:12:14,479 --> 01:12:17,360 Speaker 4: A lot of times. He's going to put out robots 1544 01:12:17,439 --> 01:12:18,720 Speaker 4: and also a ROBOTAXI. 1545 01:12:18,800 --> 01:12:20,360 Speaker 5: The question is do people want to take them if 1546 01:12:20,360 --> 01:12:23,320 Speaker 5: they're associated with Elon Musk's Caleb's point like, are you 1547 01:12:23,360 --> 01:12:26,360 Speaker 5: so disgusted by what happened with Doge and some of 1548 01:12:26,360 --> 01:12:29,000 Speaker 5: the other things. Do you do you basically boycott the 1549 01:12:29,080 --> 01:12:31,479 Speaker 5: test of ROBOTAXI? Do you not buy the test the robot? 1550 01:12:31,800 --> 01:12:35,479 Speaker 5: Do you buy the hypothetical Microsoft robot instead? Does that 1551 01:12:35,560 --> 01:12:38,040 Speaker 5: hurt the stock? Are other people in this Trump orbit 1552 01:12:38,080 --> 01:12:40,280 Speaker 5: are they potentially going to face that kind of same 1553 01:12:40,680 --> 01:12:42,800 Speaker 5: consumer reaction? We just don't know yet, you know what 1554 01:12:42,840 --> 01:12:45,400 Speaker 5: I mean, it's not clear one other tests we might 1555 01:12:45,439 --> 01:12:46,960 Speaker 5: get and I don't even know how it's going to 1556 01:12:47,040 --> 01:12:49,800 Speaker 5: work out. But if one of the companies or that 1557 01:12:50,160 --> 01:12:52,559 Speaker 5: where the ceo is a Trump backer gets to actually 1558 01:12:52,560 --> 01:12:56,280 Speaker 5: buy TikTok, do people leave TikTok and protest? 1559 01:12:55,960 --> 01:12:56,840 Speaker 2: I don't know. 1560 01:12:56,920 --> 01:12:58,479 Speaker 4: I don't think so. I think people just kind of 1561 01:12:58,479 --> 01:12:59,360 Speaker 4: really like TikTok. 1562 01:13:01,000 --> 01:13:05,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, as you were saying exactly, that's exactly 1563 01:13:05,960 --> 01:13:06,920 Speaker 1: what I was thinking Twitter. 1564 01:13:07,240 --> 01:13:07,439 Speaker 2: Yeah. 1565 01:13:07,960 --> 01:13:10,559 Speaker 5: I mean, look at Mark Zuckerberg. He's very closely aligned 1566 01:13:10,560 --> 01:13:12,920 Speaker 5: with the Trump administration right now. I mean, I'll be honest, 1567 01:13:13,160 --> 01:13:15,439 Speaker 5: you know, I don't know anybody that's left Instagram because 1568 01:13:15,479 --> 01:13:17,200 Speaker 5: they're against what Mark Zuckerberg's done. 1569 01:13:17,240 --> 01:13:17,720 Speaker 4: I haven't heard. 1570 01:13:17,880 --> 01:13:19,439 Speaker 5: I've heard people see a lot of other things about 1571 01:13:19,439 --> 01:13:21,639 Speaker 5: boycotting this retail or boycott this retailer. 1572 01:13:21,920 --> 01:13:24,200 Speaker 4: I haven't one person say I'm jumping off insta. 1573 01:13:24,360 --> 01:13:26,360 Speaker 6: That's right, right, we say one thing, but do they 1574 01:13:26,479 --> 01:13:27,280 Speaker 6: but do the other. 1575 01:13:27,160 --> 01:13:27,759 Speaker 2: All the time? 1576 01:13:28,160 --> 01:13:30,800 Speaker 1: Frank, you know the man I was actually thinking that, right, 1577 01:13:30,840 --> 01:13:32,960 Speaker 1: like Robotech, that that announcement is going to be coming 1578 01:13:33,000 --> 01:13:35,240 Speaker 1: in June. I know they have a rollout, but you 1579 01:13:35,280 --> 01:13:38,360 Speaker 1: think about all those CEOs right that came to the 1580 01:13:38,400 --> 01:13:41,160 Speaker 1: inauguration of pre inauguration, it came and spoke to Trump, 1581 01:13:41,560 --> 01:13:44,880 Speaker 1: and what that perspective is now, right that they've lost 1582 01:13:45,080 --> 01:13:48,519 Speaker 1: I mean hundreds of billions of dollars from their personal wealth. 1583 01:13:48,520 --> 01:13:51,280 Speaker 1: Obviously that they're they're going to be fine, But it's 1584 01:13:51,320 --> 01:13:55,200 Speaker 1: interesting to look at May seventh, is the date you 1585 01:13:55,240 --> 01:13:58,240 Speaker 1: brought up the feed cher Caleb. I think you're one 1586 01:13:58,280 --> 01:14:01,400 Speaker 1: of the most educated people in this space of breaking 1587 01:14:01,439 --> 01:14:11,320 Speaker 1: down the correlation between inflation, between the CPI, between mortgage 1588 01:14:11,600 --> 01:14:12,920 Speaker 1: not mortgageman, the interest. 1589 01:14:12,680 --> 01:14:13,240 Speaker 2: Rates going up. 1590 01:14:13,880 --> 01:14:15,680 Speaker 1: Can you just explain that to people so they can 1591 01:14:15,720 --> 01:14:18,080 Speaker 1: get a clear glimpse of how all those things play 1592 01:14:18,120 --> 01:14:20,719 Speaker 1: apart and why the decision of how many rate cuts 1593 01:14:20,800 --> 01:14:23,759 Speaker 1: we get this year is going to be super important. 1594 01:14:24,240 --> 01:14:27,160 Speaker 6: Yeah, the Federal Reserve, our central bank, has two jobs. 1595 01:14:27,200 --> 01:14:31,240 Speaker 6: Two mandates, right, keep unemployment or keep the country fully employed, 1596 01:14:31,280 --> 01:14:33,240 Speaker 6: which is somewhere between three and a half and four 1597 01:14:33,280 --> 01:14:37,920 Speaker 6: percent unemployment, and also keep inflation in the two to 1598 01:14:37,960 --> 01:14:40,120 Speaker 6: two and a half percent rates. That's where they've traditionally 1599 01:14:40,479 --> 01:14:42,760 Speaker 6: wanted these things to happen. How do they do that. 1600 01:14:42,800 --> 01:14:45,880 Speaker 6: They do that by either raising or lowering interest rates 1601 01:14:45,960 --> 01:14:49,240 Speaker 6: or buying more government securities. But by raising interest rates 1602 01:14:49,720 --> 01:14:52,840 Speaker 6: making money more expensive, people are going to spend less. 1603 01:14:52,880 --> 01:14:56,040 Speaker 6: That's a way for that's a way to keep inflation 1604 01:14:56,160 --> 01:14:58,439 Speaker 6: from rising or to actually help bring it down. We 1605 01:14:58,479 --> 01:15:00,479 Speaker 6: saw that when inflation hit eight point eight eight percent 1606 01:15:00,760 --> 01:15:04,639 Speaker 6: after the pandemic. They raise rates to multi generational highs 1607 01:15:04,800 --> 01:15:07,320 Speaker 6: to do that, and we're still on our way back down. Now. 1608 01:15:07,479 --> 01:15:10,880 Speaker 6: If the economy starts to sputter because we're doing less 1609 01:15:10,920 --> 01:15:14,280 Speaker 6: consumer spending, and just remember that GDP gross domestic product 1610 01:15:14,560 --> 01:15:17,639 Speaker 6: is seventy percent consumer spending. That's us going to the mall, 1611 01:15:17,920 --> 01:15:22,599 Speaker 6: taking a vacation, buying a new pair of Air Force nikes. Frank, 1612 01:15:23,560 --> 01:15:25,880 Speaker 6: that is us spending money, and business is spending money. 1613 01:15:25,880 --> 01:15:29,120 Speaker 6: When we slow down our spending. The FED lowers interest 1614 01:15:29,160 --> 01:15:32,120 Speaker 6: rates to juice the economy makes money cheaper, cheaper to borrow, 1615 01:15:32,200 --> 01:15:36,599 Speaker 6: so we'll spend more, consume more. That usually kickstarts the economy. Now, 1616 01:15:36,640 --> 01:15:39,599 Speaker 6: what we've seen over the past several recessions, going back 1617 01:15:39,800 --> 01:15:43,280 Speaker 6: to the Great Financial Crisis, is when the economy got 1618 01:15:43,280 --> 01:15:45,000 Speaker 6: into really bad shape, whether it was the fault of 1619 01:15:45,040 --> 01:15:48,000 Speaker 6: the banks making bad loans, or whether it's just a 1620 01:15:48,080 --> 01:15:51,240 Speaker 6: COVID all of a sudden knocking everything offline, and all 1621 01:15:51,240 --> 01:15:53,560 Speaker 6: of a sudden, everybody's at home and the economy comes 1622 01:15:53,200 --> 01:15:56,639 Speaker 6: to a sandstill. Well, what does the FED do. It's slammed. 1623 01:15:56,680 --> 01:15:58,920 Speaker 6: It lowers interest rates to the floor. It takes interest 1624 01:15:59,000 --> 01:16:01,840 Speaker 6: rates to zero to stimulate the economy to get people 1625 01:16:01,880 --> 01:16:05,240 Speaker 6: spending again. That's what we did. That's what produced inflation, 1626 01:16:05,439 --> 01:16:08,040 Speaker 6: and that's what got the economy back in gear and 1627 01:16:08,080 --> 01:16:10,880 Speaker 6: the stock market back in gear again. The concern to 1628 01:16:11,040 --> 01:16:13,640 Speaker 6: me now is that there is no moral hazard when 1629 01:16:13,640 --> 01:16:15,040 Speaker 6: you knew the FED was just going to come in 1630 01:16:15,080 --> 01:16:17,320 Speaker 6: and take care of everything, or the government was just 1631 01:16:17,320 --> 01:16:19,960 Speaker 6: going to put helicopter rain, helicopter money all over the 1632 01:16:20,000 --> 01:16:22,479 Speaker 6: economy to get us spending again, whether that was through 1633 01:16:22,479 --> 01:16:25,880 Speaker 6: stimulus payments or what have you, or through tarp back 1634 01:16:25,920 --> 01:16:28,880 Speaker 6: in the Great Financial Crisis? Is this the type of 1635 01:16:28,880 --> 01:16:31,000 Speaker 6: administration that will do that?

I'm in, like you know, 1721 01:20:10,479 --> 01:20:13,080 Speaker 2: on the perimeter. So you guys inside of it, how 1722 01:20:13,160 --> 01:20:15,160 Speaker 2: is it?

I'm glad that the open conversation that 1784 01:22:52,200 --> 01:22:54,320 Speaker 1: people in the chat are even having their own conversations, 1785 01:22:54,320 --> 01:22:58,400 Speaker 1: but giving some type of education around what's happening. Because 1786 01:22:58,400 --> 01:23:00,400 Speaker 1: most people just hear the news and the news happened 1787 01:23:00,439 --> 01:23:02,479 Speaker 1: to them. They don't really know what's going on. So 1788 01:23:02,479 --> 01:23:04,719 Speaker 1: hopefully we got to debunk some things, give some clarity 1789 01:23:04,840 --> 01:23:07,759 Speaker 1: some things, and people make investment decisions and make personal 1790 01:23:07,760 --> 01:23:09,639 Speaker 1: decisions about the information that they received tonight. 1791 01:23:09,720 --> 01:23:11,960 Speaker 2: Man. That's the power relationships. We wasn't planning on doing 1792 01:23:11,960 --> 01:23:15,519 Speaker 2: that episode of this week, but within a couple of 1793 01:23:15,520 --> 01:23:19,559 Speaker 2: hours we we got episode. We promoted on social media. 1794 01:23:20,200 --> 01:23:23,320 Speaker 2: We have good friends, so they came and we had 1795 01:23:23,320 --> 01:23:26,320 Speaker 2: eight thousand people on. So the relationship thing, I'm always 1796 01:23:26,320 --> 01:23:29,400 Speaker 2: gonna talk about relationships because that's the key. That's that's 1797 01:23:29,479 --> 01:23:33,560 Speaker 2: that's the major key in life is relationships. Yeah, so yeah, 1798 01:23:33,600 --> 01:23:36,840 Speaker 2: it will probably get rockier.
