WEBVTT 1 00:00:04.599 --> 00:00:07.639 Why it's seven hundred WLWNC average American and for the 2 00:00:07.679 --> 00:00:10.240 great American on this Thursday, and welcome on into you. 3 00:00:11.199 --> 00:00:14.960 The NCAA Tournament is officially begun and tip offs under way. 4 00:00:14.960 --> 00:00:17.120 Of course last night and Xavior with a big win 5 00:00:17.239 --> 00:00:20.039 over Texas in the playoff game, they're off to play 6 00:00:20.120 --> 00:00:23.440 Illinois and Milwaukee. That game is tomorrow night and right 7 00:00:23.440 --> 00:00:27.760 here on seven hundred a WLW and the games begin. 8 00:00:28.120 --> 00:00:30.519 We'll see brackets need to be in like in the 9 00:00:30.559 --> 00:00:33.479 next minute. First tip I think is at twelve fifteen today. 10 00:00:33.520 --> 00:00:37.079 Is that not right? That's right. Meanwhile in Washington, d C. 11 00:00:38.359 --> 00:00:41.280 The legal merry go round goes on. We've got Trump, 12 00:00:41.359 --> 00:00:45.520 we've got tariffs, we've got rogue judges, and we've got 13 00:00:45.520 --> 00:00:47.960 people that seem to think that Elon Musk is so 14 00:00:48.079 --> 00:00:51.240 evil they want to burn down Tesla's country seems to 15 00:00:51.240 --> 00:00:53.719 be on fire once again. It always seems to happen, 16 00:00:53.799 --> 00:00:56.359 doesn't it when there's a Republican in the White House. 17 00:00:56.759 --> 00:00:58.679 Why is that? Why does it always seem that when 18 00:00:58.719 --> 00:01:01.439 there's a Republican in the world White House there is 19 00:01:01.600 --> 00:01:05.840 unrest in the streets. Never figured that one out. Nevertheless, 20 00:01:05.879 --> 00:01:09.280 that's what we have. The FED yesterday did not raise 21 00:01:09.799 --> 00:01:13.439 interest rates. They're leaving well enough as they see it alone. 22 00:01:14.439 --> 00:01:18.079 The FED chair Jerome Palace, says that tariffs will have 23 00:01:18.120 --> 00:01:21.599 an effectively short term on inflation, and not a good effect. 24 00:01:22.159 --> 00:01:24.400 But he doesn't seem to think long term it's going 25 00:01:24.480 --> 00:01:27.359 to matter all that much, will it? Who knows? That's 26 00:01:27.359 --> 00:01:30.280 why they meet every couple of months. Somebody keeping a 27 00:01:30.319 --> 00:01:33.760 key I on all of this is a fuller US 28 00:01:33.840 --> 00:01:36.519 Congressman from the great state of Ohio. Right here in Ohio. 29 00:01:36.599 --> 00:01:40.719 It was the sixteenth congressional district that Jim Bernacy represented 30 00:01:40.840 --> 00:01:44.400 for many terms, and right now he is doing good 31 00:01:44.480 --> 00:01:47.760 work outside of Washington, DC. He's back in Ohio and 32 00:01:47.799 --> 00:01:50.680 he's back here with us here on seven hundred WLW 33 00:01:50.920 --> 00:01:55.159 And Jimbernacy, how are you on this glorious Thursday. 34 00:01:55.519 --> 00:01:56.719 I'm great, Ken, how are you? 35 00:01:57.280 --> 00:02:00.480 I'm even better now that you're on with me. I 36 00:02:00.519 --> 00:02:02.359 want to talk to you about tariffs, but I've got 37 00:02:02.400 --> 00:02:04.400 to hit you with a couple of things before that, 38 00:02:04.560 --> 00:02:06.239 which is in essence news of the day. 39 00:02:06.959 --> 00:02:07.120 You go. 40 00:02:08.560 --> 00:02:12.199 This judge in the DC Federal Court, James Brosberg, who 41 00:02:12.240 --> 00:02:17.280 decided he was going to interject himself into a federal deportation, 42 00:02:18.199 --> 00:02:21.199 in essence telling the Trump administration to turn the plane around. 43 00:02:21.319 --> 00:02:24.560 Everybody knows exactly in the wake of that, but it 44 00:02:24.759 --> 00:02:28.280 just kind of added on Jim to what I find 45 00:02:28.319 --> 00:02:32.879 a disturbing thing. Here, ninety percent of the challenges that 46 00:02:33.000 --> 00:02:37.039 have been brought against Trump, his policies, his executive orders, 47 00:02:37.039 --> 00:02:42.840 and whatnot, ninety percent have been brought to Democrat judges, 48 00:02:43.520 --> 00:02:48.240 judges that were placed on the federal court by either 49 00:02:48.319 --> 00:02:52.680 Barack Obama or Joe Biden or Bill Clinton ninety percent. 50 00:02:53.479 --> 00:02:56.960 And here you've got this guy Boseberg, who in essence 51 00:02:57.000 --> 00:02:59.520 decided he was going to get involved with public policy. 52 00:02:59.560 --> 00:03:02.759 And I raise this with you because this goes right 53 00:03:02.800 --> 00:03:05.039 back to I think a lot of what you were 54 00:03:05.039 --> 00:03:08.080 all about when you were in Congress. There are six 55 00:03:08.159 --> 00:03:11.879 hundred and seventy five federal judges in this country. If 56 00:03:11.919 --> 00:03:14.719 each one of them wants to start injecting their opinion 57 00:03:14.759 --> 00:03:19.080 and whatnot into federal policy, this country would be paralyzed. 58 00:03:19.120 --> 00:03:22.479 I understand a lawsuit has to begin somewhere, but I 59 00:03:22.520 --> 00:03:25.479 don't think the idea of this country was ever, let's 60 00:03:25.639 --> 00:03:28.400 just litigate to the point of paralysis. But I could 61 00:03:28.400 --> 00:03:30.199 see a road right now that we're on that may 62 00:03:30.319 --> 00:03:32.000 lead to that. Can you see that? 63 00:03:34.280 --> 00:03:37.879 Well, curly, that's going to be what happens as President 64 00:03:37.879 --> 00:03:41.240 Trump continues to move forward at a pace that many 65 00:03:41.280 --> 00:03:44.639 Democrats aren't comfortable with. But I will tell you the 66 00:03:44.719 --> 00:03:46.919 one thing that there was a poll came out yesterday 67 00:03:46.960 --> 00:03:50.680 I thought was very interesting. Eighty four percent of Americans 68 00:03:51.479 --> 00:03:54.960 believe eighty four that's a pretty big number, believe that 69 00:03:55.439 --> 00:03:58.840 something has to abide by the judicial system. In other words, 70 00:03:58.879 --> 00:04:03.120 he cannot just run over it like he continues to 71 00:04:03.159 --> 00:04:07.280 say he's going to and not follow. So in eighty 72 00:04:07.319 --> 00:04:10.599 five or eighty four percent of Americans believe that judiciary 73 00:04:10.639 --> 00:04:13.319 at least has to be answered to. I think it 74 00:04:13.360 --> 00:04:16.560 becomes a political problem for President Trump, and he's going 75 00:04:16.639 --> 00:04:19.199 to have to take these pills all the way up 76 00:04:19.240 --> 00:04:20.279 to the Supreme Court. 77 00:04:20.720 --> 00:04:23.680 Yeah, no, I don't. If we get into that situation, 78 00:04:23.800 --> 00:04:27.000 then you have absolute chaos. And he you know, I 79 00:04:27.040 --> 00:04:29.360 think he's savvy enough about what goes down in court 80 00:04:29.480 --> 00:04:31.920 after the last couple of years to understand what the 81 00:04:32.439 --> 00:04:35.680 legal jeopardy of that is. But the issue really is, 82 00:04:36.279 --> 00:04:39.600 at what point do these federal judges need to quote 83 00:04:39.639 --> 00:04:42.639 unquote stay in their lane. And I you know, it 84 00:04:42.680 --> 00:04:45.279 seems to me somebody, I don't know whether it's in 85 00:04:45.319 --> 00:04:49.720 the Trump administration or outside it, somebody somewhere has to 86 00:04:49.759 --> 00:04:53.560 be aching to get the way this process works in 87 00:04:53.680 --> 00:04:56.480 front of the Supreme Court. So once and for all, 88 00:04:56.519 --> 00:04:59.720 we understand that you can't have six hundred and seventy 89 00:04:59.720 --> 00:05:03.920 five federal judges deciding we're just going to decide this 90 00:05:04.000 --> 00:05:05.839 and this and this and this, and all of a sudden, 91 00:05:05.959 --> 00:05:10.319 the elected officials in this country, people like you, don't 92 00:05:10.319 --> 00:05:12.319 have a say in the matter the way they should. 93 00:05:12.720 --> 00:05:15.480 I think you're right. This thing could turn into complete 94 00:05:15.560 --> 00:05:17.759 chaos if Trump and his team just say, you know, 95 00:05:18.120 --> 00:05:19.879 to hell with the law, We're going to do whatever 96 00:05:19.879 --> 00:05:23.279 we want. But there's that problem on the other side, 97 00:05:23.399 --> 00:05:26.600 where you've got these judges just running all over the 98 00:05:26.600 --> 00:05:29.079 place deciding they're going to take this case that case. 99 00:05:29.120 --> 00:05:31.279 And you get at the end of it all, Jim, 100 00:05:31.399 --> 00:05:34.040 you get judge shopping And I really don't think that's 101 00:05:34.079 --> 00:05:36.959 healthy for the country, either of you. 102 00:05:37.000 --> 00:05:39.439 No, and I would agree, and remember, and I think 103 00:05:39.639 --> 00:05:43.079 you hit on this, which is important. This judge didn't 104 00:05:43.079 --> 00:05:45.879 bring this case somebody brought this case to the judge. 105 00:05:45.920 --> 00:05:49.519 Now the judge made a decision based on the case 106 00:05:49.600 --> 00:05:52.879 being brought to them, and I'm not too sure you 107 00:05:52.879 --> 00:05:55.959 can pick the judge at least anytime that I've been 108 00:05:56.000 --> 00:05:58.279 involved in court matters or usually it's a luck of 109 00:05:58.319 --> 00:06:00.680 the draw. Now, when you go to d SEE you're 110 00:06:00.680 --> 00:06:02.920 going to get a Democrat judge, There's. 111 00:06:02.720 --> 00:06:03.680 No doubt about that. 112 00:06:04.000 --> 00:06:06.079 So it always depends on where you go and what 113 00:06:06.240 --> 00:06:08.920 states you're in and what county you're in. But any 114 00:06:09.040 --> 00:06:12.279 case brought in d C probably is going to be 115 00:06:12.959 --> 00:06:16.079 ninety nine point nine percent going to be a Democrat judge. 116 00:06:16.120 --> 00:06:18.480 So it's one of the reasons why I think these 117 00:06:18.560 --> 00:06:21.879 cases are brought to the DC court because it usually 118 00:06:21.920 --> 00:06:25.519 is a Democrat judge. But again, wholeraly agree with you. 119 00:06:25.600 --> 00:06:30.079 These are issues that you know, the American people in 120 00:06:30.079 --> 00:06:34.240 many cases, the American people like what Donald Trump is doing. 121 00:06:34.279 --> 00:06:36.839 But at the same time, you have to remember we're 122 00:06:36.839 --> 00:06:40.519 a divided country, and there are fifty percent of Americans 123 00:06:40.759 --> 00:06:43.839 who do not like what Donald Trump's doing no matter 124 00:06:43.879 --> 00:06:47.480 what he does, and there's fifty percent who love what he's. 125 00:06:47.279 --> 00:06:49.040 Doing no matter what he does. 126 00:06:49.079 --> 00:06:51.079 And I think that's what the real problem we have 127 00:06:51.160 --> 00:06:52.240 in our country right now. 128 00:06:52.480 --> 00:06:55.279 And I think all this talk about impeaching judges and whatnot, 129 00:06:55.279 --> 00:06:58.480 it's nonsense. It's not going anywhere. These guys are difficult 130 00:06:58.480 --> 00:07:02.000 to remove. They're there, they're going to stay there. And 131 00:07:02.560 --> 00:07:04.319 you know, I think those in Congress that think it's 132 00:07:04.319 --> 00:07:06.759 a good idea, and I think Trump would be well 133 00:07:06.759 --> 00:07:11.360 advised not to start raising that particular specter anyway. There's 134 00:07:11.399 --> 00:07:13.240 a lot of intrigue past that too. I don't want 135 00:07:13.240 --> 00:07:14.800 to get bogged down on that. I wanted to talk 136 00:07:14.839 --> 00:07:17.560 to you today about tariffs because I think there's a 137 00:07:17.560 --> 00:07:20.319 lot of pros and cons to tariff. We're hearing a 138 00:07:20.319 --> 00:07:23.279 lot of the cons to tariffs, and I think there 139 00:07:23.279 --> 00:07:26.680 are probably more of those than there are pros. I mean, 140 00:07:26.680 --> 00:07:29.199 once you you know, I understand the United States has 141 00:07:29.240 --> 00:07:31.480 been ripped off from a trade standpoint. I mean, I 142 00:07:31.560 --> 00:07:33.399 get that. I think they are countries that have taken 143 00:07:33.399 --> 00:07:36.480 advantage of us and with our willingness over the course 144 00:07:36.519 --> 00:07:40.079 of time. But getting into a urinating contest with places 145 00:07:40.160 --> 00:07:43.240 like Canada, Mexico, China, and whatnot. In the state of 146 00:07:43.279 --> 00:07:46.480 the economy of what it is right now is probably 147 00:07:46.720 --> 00:07:49.800 not a great thing to do. Yet there are people, 148 00:07:49.920 --> 00:07:52.399 and there are people that are very well schooled in 149 00:07:52.519 --> 00:07:55.720 economics gym, that are advising the President to go ahead 150 00:07:55.759 --> 00:07:59.120 and continue down this course. If you were advising the president, 151 00:07:59.240 --> 00:08:02.480 what would you be advising him right now about tariffs 152 00:08:02.519 --> 00:08:03.839 and what it could do to you and me and 153 00:08:03.879 --> 00:08:06.240 everybody else that are just trying to make it go 154 00:08:06.399 --> 00:08:07.680 from a day to day standpoint. 155 00:08:09.360 --> 00:08:12.160 Well, it's interesting about tariffs. You know, this isn't new. 156 00:08:12.519 --> 00:08:15.800 Prisident Trump brought this up in twenty seventeen, and I 157 00:08:15.839 --> 00:08:18.639 remember being in the White House with Manuchin and Cohen, 158 00:08:18.639 --> 00:08:21.720 which were his two advisors. One was his Treasury secretary 159 00:08:22.079 --> 00:08:25.000 and one was his economic advisor, and both of them 160 00:08:25.360 --> 00:08:29.079 were telling President Trump tariffs are not good. And he 161 00:08:29.120 --> 00:08:31.839 attempted to use them a couple times, but I think 162 00:08:31.879 --> 00:08:34.879 he had people around him then that were saying they're 163 00:08:34.879 --> 00:08:38.840 not good. They're good for a negotiation tool only, let's 164 00:08:38.840 --> 00:08:42.759 face it, Ronald Reagan placed one hundred percent tariff on 165 00:08:43.399 --> 00:08:47.840 Japanese electronics at one point in time to get Japan 166 00:08:47.919 --> 00:08:51.240 to the negotiating table, and they did, and he was 167 00:08:51.399 --> 00:08:54.960 able to get some negotiations in place. They're good for 168 00:08:55.039 --> 00:08:57.159 that purpose, I am never a. 169 00:08:57.039 --> 00:08:58.559 Believer for their good long term. 170 00:08:58.679 --> 00:09:02.279 In twenty seventeen, we had something called the back tax 171 00:09:02.360 --> 00:09:04.559 being introduced border adjustment tax. 172 00:09:04.919 --> 00:09:05.840 It basically was. 173 00:09:05.799 --> 00:09:09.360 A tariff on any import coming in, and we did 174 00:09:09.559 --> 00:09:13.399 enough hearings to determine that it was not good for 175 00:09:13.440 --> 00:09:18.480 the economy and ultimately it was a hidden tax on 176 00:09:18.600 --> 00:09:21.159 the consumer. And that's what we have to be so 177 00:09:21.360 --> 00:09:24.799 careful of these taxes. A lot of people don't understand, 178 00:09:24.879 --> 00:09:28.200 and some of your listeners might not understand. There end 179 00:09:28.320 --> 00:09:31.960 up being paid for by the consumer. The person the 180 00:09:32.039 --> 00:09:34.960 company that pays the tear for bringing the goods in 181 00:09:35.759 --> 00:09:38.480 ends up passing that on to the consumer as a 182 00:09:38.559 --> 00:09:41.399 hidden tax. And that's what I fear more than anything, 183 00:09:41.799 --> 00:09:45.399 because that will cause more chaos to our economy. And 184 00:09:45.440 --> 00:09:48.039 it's one of the things if I was advising President Trump, 185 00:09:48.320 --> 00:09:52.679 I would tell them great to use them for negotiations, 186 00:09:52.720 --> 00:09:55.679 bad to use them for economic purposes, and some of 187 00:09:55.720 --> 00:09:58.759 the things we're doing right now or economic purposes which are. 188 00:09:58.679 --> 00:10:02.039 Not good out today. That said that over one thousand 189 00:10:02.120 --> 00:10:06.799 dollars of added expense this year alone would be added 190 00:10:06.840 --> 00:10:09.360 on to the you know, the daily bills. One thousand 191 00:10:09.440 --> 00:10:11.919 dollars a year, not on a daily basis, but over 192 00:10:11.919 --> 00:10:14.399 one thousand dollars a year would be added on to 193 00:10:14.519 --> 00:10:18.759 the taxpayers back if indeed these tariffs continue. Yeah, I 194 00:10:18.799 --> 00:10:21.600 think they're a great negotiating tool, There's no question about it. 195 00:10:21.679 --> 00:10:24.759 And Trump is first and foremost a businessman, and you know, 196 00:10:24.840 --> 00:10:26.799 he seems to be the kind of guy when if 197 00:10:26.840 --> 00:10:29.279 he thinks you're ripping him off, he's going to make 198 00:10:29.320 --> 00:10:33.279 you pay for it. In severalfold. We'll see if they 199 00:10:33.320 --> 00:10:36.600 continue to go out. He seems to have. He seems 200 00:10:36.639 --> 00:10:39.919 to have backed off the bluster with Canada and Mexico. 201 00:10:40.000 --> 00:10:42.320 I think China was always at ten percent, but he 202 00:10:42.360 --> 00:10:45.279 seems to have backed off a little bit. But it's interesting, 203 00:10:45.320 --> 00:10:47.360 you know, Jim, when you say it's a negotiating tool, 204 00:10:48.480 --> 00:10:51.000 Mexico and Canada would have to know that too. I mean, 205 00:10:51.039 --> 00:10:53.440 all they have to be really is patient, right, They 206 00:10:53.519 --> 00:10:55.720 just have to let this thing run its course. And 207 00:10:55.759 --> 00:10:59.519 if indeed it does take a toll on the American taxpayer, 208 00:11:00.039 --> 00:11:01.559 well it's not going to last very long in this 209 00:11:01.600 --> 00:11:02.679 country anyway, right. 210 00:11:04.720 --> 00:11:04.919 Well. 211 00:11:05.000 --> 00:11:07.679 Absolutely, And by the way, here's something your listeners should 212 00:11:07.679 --> 00:11:10.600 know as well. The last trade agreements were negotiated by 213 00:11:10.639 --> 00:11:14.320 President Trump and signed by President Trump in January. In 214 00:11:14.399 --> 00:11:17.960 June of twenty twenty with Canada and Mexico. So the 215 00:11:18.039 --> 00:11:21.039 current trade agreements, whether we like him or not, were 216 00:11:21.120 --> 00:11:25.039 negotiated by President Trump and signed by President Trump in 217 00:11:25.159 --> 00:11:27.840 June of twenty twenty. So he is now saying he 218 00:11:27.879 --> 00:11:32.120 doesn't like his trade agreements. That's one issue. The other 219 00:11:32.200 --> 00:11:36.000 issue is from a manufact facturing standpoint, And I'll take 220 00:11:36.039 --> 00:11:39.519 the automobile industry. They made a decision twenty five years 221 00:11:39.559 --> 00:11:43.120 ago to be the North American manufacturer of automobiles. 222 00:11:43.440 --> 00:11:45.360 So there is a process where. 223 00:11:45.200 --> 00:11:49.639 Cars are manufactured by moving them from America to Mexico 224 00:11:49.759 --> 00:11:55.399 to Canada, and each one of these areas has an expertise, 225 00:11:55.440 --> 00:11:58.799 whether it's chassis, whether it's electronics, whatever it is. So 226 00:11:58.879 --> 00:12:02.399 we're in North America and manufacture. If you impose these 227 00:12:02.480 --> 00:12:06.559 tariffs on a sixty thousand dollars car the movement between 228 00:12:07.120 --> 00:12:10.600 these three countries, it'll raise that car. 229 00:12:11.200 --> 00:12:12.360 And we knew that back in. 230 00:12:12.320 --> 00:12:14.600 Twenty seventeen, which is one of the reasons we told 231 00:12:14.639 --> 00:12:17.759 President Trump, whoa, whoa, whoa, watch what we're doing here. 232 00:12:18.159 --> 00:12:20.960 Now I do agree it'd be great to have all 233 00:12:20.960 --> 00:12:24.120 that manufacturing back in the United States. And that's the 234 00:12:24.159 --> 00:12:27.840 one thing that Trump says, well, just bring back the manufacturing. Well, 235 00:12:27.879 --> 00:12:31.679 here's the problem. It took us twenty five years to 236 00:12:31.799 --> 00:12:36.559 make it the North American manufacturing of automobiles. It's not 237 00:12:36.679 --> 00:12:38.759 going to take one year to bring it back. 238 00:12:39.200 --> 00:12:42.000 Think about that. How do you bring a plant back to. 239 00:12:41.960 --> 00:12:44.480 Do the electronics when there's no plants in the country 240 00:12:44.559 --> 00:12:47.039 right now doing it. That could be seven, eight, ten 241 00:12:47.120 --> 00:12:50.879 years down the road. So I think the president has 242 00:12:50.879 --> 00:12:54.279 to be very careful when he does these things and 243 00:12:54.399 --> 00:12:58.080 when your listeners use the comments, and I hear this 244 00:12:58.159 --> 00:13:01.519 all the time, which is why I bring enough. Well, Reneci, 245 00:13:01.600 --> 00:13:04.279 he just wants to bring manufacturing back to America. Hey, 246 00:13:04.519 --> 00:13:07.080 that's great, but you got to realize it's not going 247 00:13:07.120 --> 00:13:07.919 to happen overnight. 248 00:13:08.159 --> 00:13:10.720 Yeah, no, absolutely no. It's kind of like your grade 249 00:13:10.720 --> 00:13:14.080 point average in college. Right. It can fall quickly, but 250 00:13:14.159 --> 00:13:16.879 to build it back up to where it was is 251 00:13:16.919 --> 00:13:19.200 a long, tedious process. And that's kind of like where 252 00:13:19.200 --> 00:13:22.519 it is right now. I don't think anybody should be 253 00:13:22.600 --> 00:13:25.159 under the illusion and all of this is going to happen. 254 00:13:26.159 --> 00:13:29.639 Crystal bol listening for US Jim. April the second, which 255 00:13:30.639 --> 00:13:34.360 Donald Trump is calling Independence Day, that's when these additional 256 00:13:34.480 --> 00:13:37.240 and broader tariffs are supposed to go into effect. I 257 00:13:37.279 --> 00:13:41.000 have a sneaking suspicion not along about the thirtieth of 258 00:13:41.080 --> 00:13:43.519 March twenty ninth of March, we're going to hear something 259 00:13:43.559 --> 00:13:48.279 where there's been some sort of agreement with Canada, with Mexico, 260 00:13:48.360 --> 00:13:51.320 maybe with China something or other, and they never happen. 261 00:13:52.200 --> 00:13:54.960 A lot of this is Washington theatrics, at least it 262 00:13:55.000 --> 00:14:00.120 appears right now. I can't believe that, if indeed you 263 00:14:00.200 --> 00:14:02.919 have inflation that is still stagnant, he has not passed 264 00:14:02.919 --> 00:14:05.720 the tax cuts that he wants to pass. I can't 265 00:14:05.759 --> 00:14:07.399 believe he's going to go ahead and do this on 266 00:14:07.440 --> 00:14:10.080 April the second, can you now? 267 00:14:10.159 --> 00:14:12.440 And I'm a person agree with you. And what's interesting? 268 00:14:12.720 --> 00:14:16.440 And look, President Trump's great at showmanship, and I love 269 00:14:16.519 --> 00:14:17.039 him for that. 270 00:14:17.120 --> 00:14:19.240 He will tell you that he. 271 00:14:19.279 --> 00:14:24.759 Got concessions when really the Prime minister or the president 272 00:14:24.840 --> 00:14:28.039 of Mexico really didn't do much of anything. 273 00:14:28.840 --> 00:14:30.320 But he'll say that he got. 274 00:14:30.120 --> 00:14:33.279 Those concessions, and the American people will love him for 275 00:14:34.279 --> 00:14:36.399 saying that he was able to get this done, but 276 00:14:36.480 --> 00:14:39.399 in the end we really didn't get much accomplished through 277 00:14:39.440 --> 00:14:43.960 met with Mexico or Chime or I'm sorry Canada recently. 278 00:14:44.440 --> 00:14:47.000 Yet I do think he will have to back down. 279 00:14:47.440 --> 00:14:50.279 There are some companies in the United States right now 280 00:14:50.320 --> 00:14:52.679 that I know for a fact that I've talked to 281 00:14:53.159 --> 00:14:58.519 that if he implements those tariffs, especially with Mexico, those 282 00:14:58.559 --> 00:15:02.399 companies are on such wire right now as far as 283 00:15:02.440 --> 00:15:05.039 being able to survive that will they will go out 284 00:15:05.039 --> 00:15:07.759 of business. And I think he has to realize these 285 00:15:07.759 --> 00:15:11.080 are large companies now too. I'm not talking about you know, 286 00:15:11.200 --> 00:15:14.799 mom and pad companies. I'm talking about national companies that 287 00:15:14.919 --> 00:15:19.399 are in our very operation on very thin margins that 288 00:15:19.519 --> 00:15:22.559 this will be the inform So I think he has 289 00:15:22.600 --> 00:15:23.960 to take all that in consideration. 290 00:15:24.080 --> 00:15:27.000 Yeah, and I got about thirty seconds here. You mentioned 291 00:15:27.039 --> 00:15:29.080 you were in the room with him about seven eight 292 00:15:29.159 --> 00:15:31.919 years ago when Minusian was in there and advising him 293 00:15:31.919 --> 00:15:33.879 not to do tariffs. Do you think he is getting 294 00:15:34.759 --> 00:15:39.679 sound advice from the people he surrounded himself with this 295 00:15:39.840 --> 00:15:44.200 term for things like this involving money, involving inflation, and 296 00:15:44.240 --> 00:15:48.639 while involving the general economic health of the country. Do 297 00:15:48.679 --> 00:15:49.759 you think he's getting that now. 298 00:15:51.080 --> 00:15:53.600 No, I mean, and again that's probably something that most 299 00:15:53.600 --> 00:15:55.960 people don't like me saying, but I actually do think 300 00:15:56.000 --> 00:15:59.039 he had a lot better people around him back then, 301 00:15:59.080 --> 00:16:02.080 and I think today now the Treasury secretary, the current 302 00:16:02.080 --> 00:16:07.759 Treasury Secretary, has come out and said he thinks in 303 00:16:07.840 --> 00:16:10.840 quiet rooms, he thinks that these tariffs are a problem. 304 00:16:11.200 --> 00:16:13.480 But I think Minuchen and Cohen were willing to say 305 00:16:13.519 --> 00:16:16.279 that in public. And I think the President has put 306 00:16:16.360 --> 00:16:19.000 a lot of people around him that are loyalists today 307 00:16:19.679 --> 00:16:23.519 more than people who will really say, mister President, we 308 00:16:23.639 --> 00:16:25.720 can't do this, and I think that's one of the 309 00:16:25.759 --> 00:16:29.759 biggest issues we have moving forward. Hopefully he's going to 310 00:16:29.840 --> 00:16:31.519 listen to some of the people that aren't in the 311 00:16:31.600 --> 00:16:34.120 room and not do these stairs. 312 00:16:34.679 --> 00:16:36.879 All right, Jimmer and Dacy, it's always great catching up 313 00:16:36.879 --> 00:16:39.480 with you. I know the golf courses up there and 314 00:16:39.480 --> 00:16:41.799 that you're part of Ohio are not quite as challenging 315 00:16:41.840 --> 00:16:43.639 as the ones down here in our part. I know 316 00:16:43.679 --> 00:16:45.960 you'll hit him straight and far up there come down here, 317 00:16:45.960 --> 00:16:48.639 and of course it might be problematic for you, but nevertheless, 318 00:16:50.399 --> 00:16:54.039 we appreciate your time here at seven hundred WLW. Stay well, 319 00:16:54.960 --> 00:16:56.000 I appreciate it as well. 320 00:16:56.039 --> 00:17:01.840 You take care, all right, all right, all right, yeah, 321 00:17:02.399 --> 00:17:02.879 I will. 322 00:17:03.120 --> 00:17:05.400 I'm anxiously looking at April second. I don't know if 323 00:17:05.400 --> 00:17:08.559 it's going to happen. I have a sneaking suspicion it 324 00:17:09.079 --> 00:17:16.079 will not. It's twelve twenty five News Radio seven hundred WLW, 325 00:17:19.880 --> 00:17:23.240 twelve thirty nine News Radio seven hundred WLW. Welcome back. 326 00:17:23.240 --> 00:17:25.400 It's the average American in for the Great American on 327 00:17:26.400 --> 00:17:30.480 this Thursday on the show today. Well, Hamas and Israel 328 00:17:30.519 --> 00:17:32.640 are a love and rockets back and forth with each other. 329 00:17:32.680 --> 00:17:36.440 Apparently there was the hoodies got involved. They got some 330 00:17:36.480 --> 00:17:39.960 missiles into the Gaza strip last night, and actually there 331 00:17:40.000 --> 00:17:42.200 was one headed for Israel and it was picked off 332 00:17:42.240 --> 00:17:45.319 by the Iron Dome. Over and above that, you've got 333 00:17:45.359 --> 00:17:51.680 sixty college campuses. Sixty college campuses have been warned about 334 00:17:51.759 --> 00:17:56.920 the anti Semitism on campus. Where did the split come from? 335 00:17:58.039 --> 00:18:02.440 What happened to America and Israel? Not just from a 336 00:18:02.480 --> 00:18:06.400 political standpoint, but really from a rank and file standpoint 337 00:18:06.440 --> 00:18:10.519 in this country. What happens to no daylight between us? 338 00:18:11.319 --> 00:18:15.880 And why now are all these campuses exploding again? We'll 339 00:18:15.880 --> 00:18:17.839 get into all of that coming up at one six 340 00:18:17.880 --> 00:18:21.599 two six today. Okay, look, I knew this story maybe 341 00:18:21.599 --> 00:18:26.279 once every couple of months, because it won't go away. 342 00:18:27.039 --> 00:18:31.839 It is a major problem. Tipping. Tipping, tipping is out 343 00:18:32.279 --> 00:18:38.160 of control. Everybody that interacts with you in a business 344 00:18:38.279 --> 00:18:43.519 now wants a tip. Here's an idea. How about the 345 00:18:43.559 --> 00:18:48.000 business pay the employees better so the employees don't have 346 00:18:48.119 --> 00:18:50.839 to go begging for money when they hands you a 347 00:18:50.880 --> 00:18:55.799 cup of coffee, or maybe when you're getting to drink 348 00:18:56.720 --> 00:19:02.000 and you get the laptop or iPad of shame shoved 349 00:19:02.039 --> 00:19:06.400 in your face. We have restaurants in this area that 350 00:19:06.519 --> 00:19:10.519 have a place to put a tip for the kitchen help. 351 00:19:11.039 --> 00:19:14.000 How about paying your kitchen workers better. Don't make a 352 00:19:14.160 --> 00:19:18.519 U problem a me problem. There's one restaurant, at least 353 00:19:18.519 --> 00:19:22.839 one in this town that has a quote unquote healthcare 354 00:19:24.039 --> 00:19:29.640 payment you can put on your bill. You know what, 355 00:19:29.920 --> 00:19:33.000 you can't afford to own a business, don't own a business. 356 00:19:33.079 --> 00:19:36.039 Can't afford to pay your employees what they deserve, then 357 00:19:36.160 --> 00:19:39.279 don't own the business. But don't make a you problem 358 00:19:39.279 --> 00:19:41.920 a me problem. Pretty fired up about this. We're getting 359 00:19:41.920 --> 00:19:44.880 into this at two oh six. Pretty fired up with 360 00:19:44.920 --> 00:19:47.960 what happened last night in Dayton. How about it eighty 361 00:19:47.960 --> 00:19:52.279 six eighty, Xavier wins it and moves on into now 362 00:19:52.400 --> 00:19:55.640 the tournament. That was a play in situation last night. 363 00:19:55.759 --> 00:20:00.519 Now they move on to play Illinois tomorrow night in Olwaukee. 364 00:20:00.559 --> 00:20:04.400 It's a late tip. Eighty six eighty last night, And 365 00:20:04.519 --> 00:20:06.839 after the game, Sean Miller said this, you know. 366 00:20:06.759 --> 00:20:08.720 It's one of the greatest games I've been a part of. 367 00:20:08.920 --> 00:20:12.319 You know, obviously, the energy of our of the crowd, 368 00:20:12.599 --> 00:20:16.839 our fans certainly took advantage of the proximity to Cincinnati 369 00:20:17.440 --> 00:20:21.480 and in that emotion and when we needed him, it 370 00:20:21.519 --> 00:20:22.279 was certainly a. 371 00:20:22.240 --> 00:20:23.119 Factor in the game. 372 00:20:23.160 --> 00:20:24.960 I think all three of these guys would tell you 373 00:20:25.000 --> 00:20:29.079 that we certainly felt it, really appreciated it. Look, I 374 00:20:29.480 --> 00:20:32.680 thought we'd beat an excellent Texas team. You know, they 375 00:20:32.720 --> 00:20:37.039 are disciplined, they have depth and talent. You know Johnson, 376 00:20:37.599 --> 00:20:39.799 we knew it was going to be you know, a 377 00:20:39.839 --> 00:20:41.599 tall order to guard him, and. 378 00:20:41.759 --> 00:20:45.119 It was Yeah, it was is right. Johnson played extremely 379 00:20:45.200 --> 00:20:49.839 well for Texas. In any event, that would be Trey Johnson, 380 00:20:49.880 --> 00:20:54.400 by the way, who who was a handful for Xavier 381 00:20:54.480 --> 00:20:57.680 last night, twenty three points six or fourteen shooting the 382 00:20:57.720 --> 00:21:00.480 other big story was Marcus Foster of Zaba here eight 383 00:21:00.519 --> 00:21:03.839 of nine from the field and dropped in twenty two points. 384 00:21:04.200 --> 00:21:06.519 I think the last I saw this today, I think 385 00:21:06.559 --> 00:21:09.880 it was in Cincinnati dot Com. The last five games 386 00:21:11.119 --> 00:21:15.279 Foster didn't deliver twenty two points combined. He delivered twenty 387 00:21:15.279 --> 00:21:18.640 two last night. In any event, they're moving on, they're 388 00:21:18.680 --> 00:21:23.759 playing on. The games are underway already today, very early 389 00:21:23.799 --> 00:21:26.240 on number four seed Perdue is a five to three 390 00:21:26.400 --> 00:21:30.720 lead right now, and that game is on True TV 391 00:21:30.799 --> 00:21:33.599 if I'm not mistaken. Is that where that is? That 392 00:21:33.640 --> 00:21:37.160 where that game is? Because they're on all over the place. Yeah, 393 00:21:37.720 --> 00:21:42.240 five to three over high point in the first half. 394 00:21:43.160 --> 00:21:47.039 About halfway through the nine seed Creighton is leading the 395 00:21:47.039 --> 00:21:51.119 eight seed Louisville twenty eight to twenty one, and then 396 00:21:51.240 --> 00:21:55.559 ensuing games later this afternoon. Chasin Deets is the founder 397 00:21:55.599 --> 00:21:59.599 and CEO of Sportsbook Insider, which is a great place 398 00:21:59.640 --> 00:22:02.640 to go off want gambling information, break down on matchups 399 00:22:02.640 --> 00:22:05.480 and games and whatnot.
