<v Speaker 1>This is a clip from Raised by Giants. You can

<v Speaker 1>access the entire episode now on our website and all

<v Speaker 1>podcast platforms.

4
00:00:11.800 --> 00:00:15.439
<v Speaker 2>The headlines are saying, like all kinds of different stuff, right,

5
00:00:15.599 --> 00:00:18.280
<v Speaker 2>especially when it comes to China, and the headlines are

6
00:00:18.280 --> 00:00:20.359
<v Speaker 2>seeing that Trump wanted to put a tariff of one

7
00:00:20.480 --> 00:00:24.160
<v Speaker 2>hundred and forty four percent on China. But what I

8
00:00:24.239 --> 00:00:29.039
<v Speaker 2>suspect is going on because that doesn't make any sense, Okay,

9
00:00:29.079 --> 00:00:31.920
<v Speaker 2>one hundred and forty four percent tariff, that would mean

10
00:00:31.920 --> 00:00:34.640
<v Speaker 2>that China would be giving away all of their goods

11
00:00:35.200 --> 00:00:39.560
<v Speaker 2>and products and also losing forty four percent of their revenue,

12
00:00:39.920 --> 00:00:41.960
<v Speaker 2>So they would be taking a loss on the product,

13
00:00:41.960 --> 00:00:45.119
<v Speaker 2>a loss on the revenue to create that product, and

14
00:00:45.240 --> 00:00:47.880
<v Speaker 2>the revenue for selling that product. That's a stupid deal,

15
00:00:47.960 --> 00:00:50.439
<v Speaker 2>which I think is fraudulent. Right, the one hundred and

16
00:00:50.439 --> 00:00:53.280
<v Speaker 2>forty five percent number or the one hundred and forty

17
00:00:53.280 --> 00:00:56.920
<v Speaker 2>four percent number depends on what article you're reading. Seems

18
00:00:56.920 --> 00:00:59.920
<v Speaker 2>like it's fraudulent because when I suspect that they've done

19
00:01:00.159 --> 00:01:04.920
<v Speaker 2>is they've just added up the increases of all of

20
00:01:04.959 --> 00:01:08.799
<v Speaker 2>the sectors of goods, so they've taken the food imports,

21
00:01:08.840 --> 00:01:12.640
<v Speaker 2>the technology imports, whatever else China is importing, Dave, you

22
00:01:12.680 --> 00:01:15.200
<v Speaker 2>know more about what China imports in the United States

23
00:01:15.319 --> 00:01:18.599
<v Speaker 2>or other services imports, and added all of those together,

24
00:01:19.120 --> 00:01:21.640
<v Speaker 2>and then that lands one hundred and forty five percent number.

25
00:01:22.040 --> 00:01:23.840
<v Speaker 2>You get what I'm saying, But it seems like it's

26
00:01:23.840 --> 00:01:27.640
<v Speaker 2>happening is certain sections of imported goods and services are

27
00:01:27.840 --> 00:01:30.920
<v Speaker 2>all being added together to get that one hundred and

28
00:01:30.959 --> 00:01:35.120
<v Speaker 2>forty five percent terraff increase. The actual overall number is

29
00:01:35.200 --> 00:01:38.680
<v Speaker 2>much lower. For example, you can add a fifty percent

30
00:01:38.760 --> 00:01:43.319
<v Speaker 2>tariff increase on for just an soap imports, right, But

31
00:01:43.519 --> 00:01:47.359
<v Speaker 2>soap isn't the only thing that you're importing, and that

32
00:01:47.359 --> 00:01:51.920
<v Speaker 2>would only affect the overall imports by like one percent. Right.

33
00:01:51.920 --> 00:01:56.319
<v Speaker 2>It's a super sneaky way to create like industry headlines,

34
00:01:56.400 --> 00:01:58.640
<v Speaker 2>right and blow the wholding up like, oh my god,

35
00:01:58.640 --> 00:02:00.439
<v Speaker 2>Trump wants to put one hundred and four twenty five

36
00:02:00.680 --> 00:02:03.760
<v Speaker 2>percent increase on tariffs on China. No he doesn't, And

37
00:02:03.799 --> 00:02:07.519
<v Speaker 2>no article says one hundred and forty percent total increase

38
00:02:07.599 --> 00:02:10.080
<v Speaker 2>on China. You have to read those things carefully and

39
00:02:10.159 --> 00:02:12.719
<v Speaker 2>listen to the sentences that they're using, because they're only

40
00:02:12.840 --> 00:02:17.159
<v Speaker 2>they're using magic, okay, and the ten percent increase, it

41
00:02:17.159 --> 00:02:20.840
<v Speaker 2>would really rough out to around ten percent overall increase

42
00:02:20.960 --> 00:02:23.879
<v Speaker 2>on China importing goods, which is what he is now seeing,

43
00:02:24.240 --> 00:02:26.159
<v Speaker 2>and that's what it was from the beginning, and that's

44
00:02:26.199 --> 00:02:29.120
<v Speaker 2>more likely what he's going to get if you were

45
00:02:29.159 --> 00:02:33.319
<v Speaker 2>to see the actual numbers of the increases on tariffs

46
00:02:33.360 --> 00:02:36.639
<v Speaker 2>on imported goods from China into the United States, which

47
00:02:36.639 --> 00:02:40.759
<v Speaker 2>you can't because that's the information really isn't available. And

48
00:02:40.800 --> 00:02:43.439
<v Speaker 2>if you were to add all of those percentages to

49
00:02:43.560 --> 00:02:46.360
<v Speaker 2>every section of the goods, you're probably going to land

50
00:02:46.400 --> 00:02:48.199
<v Speaker 2>on that one hundred and forty five percent number. But

51
00:02:48.199 --> 00:02:50.319
<v Speaker 2>the one hundred and forty five percent number is fraudulent

52
00:02:50.400 --> 00:02:57.439
<v Speaker 2>because it's the highest percentage rates won't reflect the overall

53
00:02:57.520 --> 00:03:00.360
<v Speaker 2>percentage rate of everything that's being imported, know if that

54
00:03:00.360 --> 00:03:00.960
<v Speaker 2>makes sense or not.

55
00:03:01.840 --> 00:03:04.520
<v Speaker 3>The only thing I can read here, like I'm reading ONYX,

56
00:03:04.680 --> 00:03:07.360
<v Speaker 3>is that they're presenting it like a back and forth

57
00:03:07.400 --> 00:03:11.039
<v Speaker 3>tip for tat war, Like China raised THEIRS from eighty

58
00:03:11.039 --> 00:03:13.560
<v Speaker 3>four to one hundred and twenty five percent, so now

59
00:03:14.159 --> 00:03:16.439
<v Speaker 3>Trump's raised it to one hundred and forty five percent,

60
00:03:16.439 --> 00:03:18.400
<v Speaker 3>And that seems to be a narrative that they're going

61
00:03:18.479 --> 00:03:20.400
<v Speaker 3>with that this is a form of war.

62
00:03:22.800 --> 00:03:27.759
<v Speaker 2>Well, okay, let's say let's say that I have you know,

63
00:03:27.879 --> 00:03:30.800
<v Speaker 2>twenty Let's say I have twenty different industries, right, all

64
00:03:30.800 --> 00:03:33.960
<v Speaker 2>making different products, and I have it all under the

65
00:03:34.000 --> 00:03:36.800
<v Speaker 2>same banner. Like Okay, let's say writer industries, right, and

66
00:03:36.840 --> 00:03:41.400
<v Speaker 2>I owned and operated all of them. And but three,

67
00:03:42.680 --> 00:03:46.719
<v Speaker 2>let's use an example of David. You hit me, You

68
00:03:46.840 --> 00:03:51.879
<v Speaker 2>hit three of my industries with and you put a

69
00:03:51.960 --> 00:03:56.439
<v Speaker 2>thirty percent tariff on three of those industries. Right. I

70
00:03:56.479 --> 00:03:59.520
<v Speaker 2>could write a headline and say that you hit my

71
00:03:59.759 --> 00:04:03.639
<v Speaker 2>entire company with a ninety percent tariff increase.

72
00:04:04.159 --> 00:04:07.039
<v Speaker 3>Right, because you're adding them all up exactly.

73
00:04:07.080 --> 00:04:09.960
<v Speaker 2>I could publish all kinds of articles and news stories

74
00:04:09.960 --> 00:04:13.520
<v Speaker 2>about how Dave hit my company with a ninety percent

75
00:04:13.599 --> 00:04:17.079
<v Speaker 2>tariff increase, which seems like a lot, right, And it

76
00:04:17.120 --> 00:04:21.319
<v Speaker 2>technically is true, but it's not really true in the

77
00:04:21.639 --> 00:04:26.319
<v Speaker 2>overall total increase, because seventeen of my other industries didn't

78
00:04:26.360 --> 00:04:30.959
<v Speaker 2>get hit with any tariffs overall from my company, we

79
00:04:31.000 --> 00:04:33.439
<v Speaker 2>would be looking at like roughly around a four or

80
00:04:33.560 --> 00:04:38.040
<v Speaker 2>four point five increase overall, you see, But the ninety

81
00:04:38.079 --> 00:04:41.720
<v Speaker 2>percent is way more shocking, and the ninety percent is

82
00:04:41.759 --> 00:04:45.360
<v Speaker 2>the illusion. And if you apply that strategy to like everything,

83
00:04:46.079 --> 00:04:48.680
<v Speaker 2>then you see that it's all like trickery. It's trickery

84
00:04:48.959 --> 00:04:51.680
<v Speaker 2>in magic numbers. Like what are you rather going to

85
00:04:51.680 --> 00:04:54.560
<v Speaker 2>make a headline about that it's a four point five

86
00:04:56.000 --> 00:04:58.959
<v Speaker 2>overall total increase, or you're going to put that it's

87
00:04:59.000 --> 00:05:02.360
<v Speaker 2>a ninety percent increase. You're going to put that, You're

88
00:05:02.360 --> 00:05:02.600
<v Speaker 2>going to.

89
00:05:02.600 --> 00:05:10.079
<v Speaker 3>Put your eight number alert alert danger danger Yeah her, no,

90
00:05:10.160 --> 00:05:13.160
<v Speaker 3>go ahead, say go ahead, No, you go ahead, No worries.

91
00:05:13.639 --> 00:05:15.439
<v Speaker 1>Now, just says swinging back to that point of it

92
00:05:15.439 --> 00:05:17.360
<v Speaker 1>sort of seems planned. I don't know if you're familiar

93
00:05:17.399 --> 00:05:21.560
<v Speaker 1>with the Lima Declaration back in the nineteen seventies, nineteen

94
00:05:21.600 --> 00:05:23.959
<v Speaker 1>seventy fours, when they staying there they've ratified at ninety

95
00:05:24.000 --> 00:05:28.519
<v Speaker 1>seventy six. It was the plan to de industrialize Western

96
00:05:28.600 --> 00:05:32.480
<v Speaker 1>nations and shift all that technology and investment money capital

97
00:05:32.560 --> 00:05:35.079
<v Speaker 1>to all these you know, post World War two, really

98
00:05:35.079 --> 00:05:37.600
<v Speaker 1>third world countries and bring them up to sort of

99
00:05:37.600 --> 00:05:40.759
<v Speaker 1>a level playing field. Where now the new twenty twenty

100
00:05:40.800 --> 00:05:44.160
<v Speaker 1>five to twenty fifty a dentum to that that continues

101
00:05:44.199 --> 00:05:50.639
<v Speaker 1>from this point is regionalization, continentalization. So they're coming back

102
00:05:50.639 --> 00:05:52.120
<v Speaker 1>and all these factories that are coming back in are

103
00:05:52.120 --> 00:05:54.519
<v Speaker 1>going to be three D printing on demand type of

104
00:05:54.519 --> 00:05:58.000
<v Speaker 1>things run with AI and robotics, and the factor is,

105
00:05:58.040 --> 00:05:59.519
<v Speaker 1>you know, bringing back these jobs are not going to

106
00:05:59.560 --> 00:06:01.199
<v Speaker 1>be as this you think they are. But it seems

107
00:06:01.199 --> 00:06:05.040
<v Speaker 1>like there's a firewall going across the ocean to facilitate

108
00:06:05.120 --> 00:06:08.120
<v Speaker 1>this new breakup and this new plan to move it

109
00:06:08.160 --> 00:06:11.480
<v Speaker 1>by everything back to regionalization. And then with the food

110
00:06:11.519 --> 00:06:15.959
<v Speaker 1>as well. You know, Europe said no more be from America,

111
00:06:16.000 --> 00:06:20.120
<v Speaker 1>no more seafood. That's great, and all the fishermen in

112
00:06:20.120 --> 00:06:22.839
<v Speaker 1>America can start selling back into America. So for US,

113
00:06:23.920 --> 00:06:26.199
<v Speaker 1>it seems like food prices are going to drop. Now

114
00:06:26.240 --> 00:06:29.360
<v Speaker 1>where is Europe going to get its excess food needs

115
00:06:29.399 --> 00:06:32.839
<v Speaker 1>from That's another one unknown. But it seems like all

116
00:06:32.879 --> 00:06:34.680
<v Speaker 1>these markets are going to start working together where there

117
00:06:34.680 --> 00:06:38.600
<v Speaker 1>were not opportunities before. In the continental regions that are

118
00:06:38.600 --> 00:06:41.360
<v Speaker 1>going to start feeling themselves and feeling the vacuum and void.

119
00:06:41.959 --> 00:06:45.000
<v Speaker 1>But I encourage everybody to look at the Lima declaration,

120
00:06:46.160 --> 00:06:48.519
<v Speaker 1>and it was by some of the same players you've

121
00:06:48.519 --> 00:06:51.600
<v Speaker 1>heard of in terms of organizations, but some of them

122
00:06:51.600 --> 00:06:54.439
<v Speaker 1>sort of drifted off the wayside and been replaced by others,

123
00:06:54.560 --> 00:06:56.519
<v Speaker 1>right now, but they all still involve the World Bank.

124
00:06:57.600 --> 00:06:59.600
<v Speaker 1>And that was that purposeful plan to look the world

125
00:06:59.639 --> 00:07:02.839
<v Speaker 1>we know before where it was like super giant industrialized

126
00:07:02.920 --> 00:07:05.199
<v Speaker 1>nations controlled the planet and everything else was third world.

127
00:07:05.920 --> 00:07:08.000
<v Speaker 1>At that time, they realized that that's not going to work.

128
00:07:08.000 --> 00:07:09.879
<v Speaker 1>There's going to be too much chaos if we continue

129
00:07:09.920 --> 00:07:13.839
<v Speaker 1>this way. So that fifty year plan to move that

130
00:07:15.199 --> 00:07:18.199
<v Speaker 1>into what we see today in terms of globalization and

131
00:07:19.879 --> 00:07:23.160
<v Speaker 1>a lot of countries coming up in terms of economy

132
00:07:23.160 --> 00:07:26.800
<v Speaker 1>and whatnot. Now the next phase starts. So this next

133
00:07:26.800 --> 00:07:28.680
<v Speaker 1>phase also is going to involve, at least in my

134
00:07:28.720 --> 00:07:33.680
<v Speaker 1>opinion here the uh change of systems in terms of

135
00:07:34.000 --> 00:07:36.399
<v Speaker 1>debt based FIAT. So that rolls right back anyway. You

136
00:07:36.439 --> 00:07:39.040
<v Speaker 1>talk about tariffs like they need to shake it apart

137
00:07:39.079 --> 00:07:41.759
<v Speaker 1>where people stop trading and they roll back in continentally.

138
00:07:42.079 --> 00:07:43.800
<v Speaker 1>And then at the same time they need to have

139
00:07:43.879 --> 00:07:47.319
<v Speaker 1>an excuse why everything collapsed and the money need to

140
00:07:47.319 --> 00:07:50.120
<v Speaker 1>be restructured. So you know, there's there needs to be

141
00:07:50.160 --> 00:07:54.519
<v Speaker 1>excuses in believability built into this change all along the

142
00:07:54.560 --> 00:07:57.199
<v Speaker 1>way here, you know, So teriff's a great way to do.

143
00:07:57.240 --> 00:07:59.560
<v Speaker 1>Oh the class China couldn't sell anything. Oh they firewalled

144
00:07:59.600 --> 00:08:02.759
<v Speaker 1>the ocean, and like China has huge demographic problems anyway,

145
00:08:02.800 --> 00:08:04.920
<v Speaker 1>Like you put three hundred million people or four hundred

146
00:08:04.920 --> 00:08:07.759
<v Speaker 1>million people out of work, you're gonna have a big problem.

147
00:08:08.079 --> 00:08:09.720
<v Speaker 1>And they can't really go to war because they only

148
00:08:09.720 --> 00:08:11.519
<v Speaker 1>had the one child policy for so long and if

149
00:08:11.519 --> 00:08:13.279
<v Speaker 1>you start sending men off to their deaths and you

150
00:08:13.319 --> 00:08:17.040
<v Speaker 1>wipe out entire family lineages. So they caught themselves in

151
00:08:17.079 --> 00:08:20.040
<v Speaker 1>a huge trap here. So where does it go? Like, look,

152
00:08:20.079 --> 00:08:21.920
<v Speaker 1>everybody can kind of go smoothly in the night and

153
00:08:21.920 --> 00:08:26.319
<v Speaker 1>we reset everything and continental wise, and I don't know,

154
00:08:26.360 --> 00:08:28.199
<v Speaker 1>but look at all the excuses that are right in

155
00:08:28.319 --> 00:08:32.039
<v Speaker 1>place at the rate perfect time, and then things make

156
00:08:32.039 --> 00:08:34.120
<v Speaker 1>a little more sense once you realize. Part two begins

157
00:08:34.120 --> 00:08:36.960
<v Speaker 1>in twenty twenty five for this Lima Doctor or Lima

158
00:08:37.120 --> 00:08:38.240
<v Speaker 1>Declaration Part two.

159
00:08:40.840 --> 00:08:45.320
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, And I've always seen China. It's hard to tell

160
00:08:45.480 --> 00:08:47.919
<v Speaker 3>what their economy is because it's hard to know whether

161
00:08:47.960 --> 00:08:50.120
<v Speaker 3>they're telling you the truth about it or not. And

162
00:08:50.159 --> 00:08:52.120
<v Speaker 3>a lot of people call them like a paper tiger.

163
00:08:52.600 --> 00:08:55.840
<v Speaker 3>And like you said, that one child policy, although many

164
00:08:55.879 --> 00:08:58.159
<v Speaker 3>of their children are male. Now they have an excess

165
00:08:58.200 --> 00:09:02.759
<v Speaker 3>of young men just they are suffering from too many

166
00:09:03.080 --> 00:09:06.600
<v Speaker 3>aged people being in their population, like it should be

167
00:09:06.679 --> 00:09:10.240
<v Speaker 3>a nice pyramid, right, it gets smaller as it gets older,

168
00:09:10.279 --> 00:09:13.759
<v Speaker 3>and there's this like more like a skyscraper going straight up,

169
00:09:13.799 --> 00:09:17.720
<v Speaker 3>and that's bad news for them. Ours is not looking

170
00:09:17.799 --> 00:09:19.840
<v Speaker 3>as good United States, but it's not quite as bad,

171
00:09:20.879 --> 00:09:25.240
<v Speaker 3>and that's bad news. I don't know, maybe even less

172
00:09:25.240 --> 00:09:28.519
<v Speaker 3>than ten years. And so I don't know if Trump

173
00:09:29.000 --> 00:09:31.840
<v Speaker 3>is seeing this as a weakness with China, where he

174
00:09:31.919 --> 00:09:35.159
<v Speaker 3>can you attack this and get jobs. I don't know

175
00:09:35.200 --> 00:09:37.559
<v Speaker 3>if it works to get all the jobs back in America.

176
00:09:37.600 --> 00:09:39.600
<v Speaker 3>I don't know if we have all the people to

177
00:09:39.639 --> 00:09:40.320
<v Speaker 3>do the jobs.
