On 54 00:02:47.520 --> 00:02:50.439 board Air Force one yesterday, Trump said he doesn't want 55 00:02:50.479 --> 00:02:54.120 global markets to fall and wasn't worried about the massive 56 00:02:54.159 --> 00:02:56.439 sell off on Wall Street last week.

We're going to talk to him a 61 00:03:09.400 --> 00:03:12.759 little bit later. A judge says, bring him back. ABC's 62 00:03:12.759 --> 00:03:16.680 Stephen Portnoy's going to tell us about the deported Salvadoran 63 00:03:16.960 --> 00:03:19.759 who the White House admits was mistakenly swept up at 64 00:03:19.759 --> 00:03:22.599 an Ice raid and sent to prison, an Ilshalvador. 65 00:03:23.120 --> 00:03:24.400 And you may have seen him. 66 00:03:24.240 --> 00:03:27.039 The adorable dog buzzing around in a mini cyber truck 67 00:03:27.080 --> 00:03:30.840 while Swaggy is in hot water for a stunt on 68 00:03:30.919 --> 00:03:34.879 baseball's opening day at Dodger Stadium. Let's start with some 69 00:03:34.879 --> 00:03:36.919 of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four 70 00:03:36.960 --> 00:03:37.759 hour newsroom. 71 00:03:37.840 --> 00:03:40.039 The family of a thirteen. 72 00:03:39.520 --> 00:03:42.159 Year old boy from the valley found dead and Oxnard 73 00:03:42.240 --> 00:03:46.120 says the coach the team went to visit before he 74 00:03:46.240 --> 00:03:49.840 died has been arrested on a separate sexual assault charge. 75 00:03:49.879 --> 00:03:52.680 That case is from February of last year. The boy's 76 00:03:52.759 --> 00:03:55.039 mom says her son had gone to the coach's house 77 00:03:55.080 --> 00:03:59.759 in Lancaster to help paint the team's soccer jerseys, but 78 00:04:00.120 --> 00:04:02.960 never made it home. His body was found last week 79 00:04:03.000 --> 00:04:04.800 in a ditch off a road in a wooded area. 80 00:04:05.680 --> 00:04:09.879 Several women and kids have been hurt by a minivan 81 00:04:09.919 --> 00:04:13.240 that plowed into a crowd in downtown Laka. If i's 82 00:04:13.319 --> 00:04:17.000 Daniel Martindale says it happened yesterday near Santee Alley in 83 00:04:17.040 --> 00:04:17.800 the Fashion District. 84 00:04:17.920 --> 00:04:20.480 Video from a witness shows a damaged minivan stopped on 85 00:04:20.519 --> 00:04:23.759 a sidewalk under a collapsed patio. The six adults and 86 00:04:23.800 --> 00:04:26.720 three children who were injured are in fair condition. Seven 87 00:04:26.759 --> 00:04:29.360 of the nine victims were taken to hospitals for treatment. 88 00:04:30.319 --> 00:04:32.560 Investigators they're trying to figure out what led up to 89 00:04:32.600 --> 00:04:36.240 the crash. At least a dozen current and former UCLA 90 00:04:36.319 --> 00:04:38.879 students are among three hundred in the US who have 91 00:04:39.240 --> 00:04:41.079 had their visas revoked by the FEDS. 92 00:04:41.199 --> 00:04:44.000 So far, more than three dozen students across the UC campuses, 93 00:04:44.000 --> 00:04:47.720 including Berkeley, Davis, Irvine, San Diego, and UCLA have all 94 00:04:47.720 --> 00:04:50.560 been affected. At least six students at Stanford have also 95 00:04:50.600 --> 00:04:53.839 lost their visas. Official say students were notified after routine 96 00:04:53.920 --> 00:04:57.560 federal database checks. The government has not explained the terminations, 97 00:04:57.560 --> 00:05:00.759 but the actions occur following several high profile cases of 98 00:05:00.800 --> 00:05:04.279 pro Palestinian scholars being detained by the federal government. Andrew 99 00:05:04.319 --> 00:05:05.839 Caravella KFI News. 100 00:05:05.639 --> 00:05:09.160 School say they're offering legal aid for international students submit 101 00:05:09.279 --> 00:05:14.160 growing uncertainty. The World Series winning LA Dodgers are visiting 102 00:05:14.160 --> 00:05:16.600 the White House today. They're doing it while the team 103 00:05:16.759 --> 00:05:18.959 is in DC for a three game series against the 104 00:05:19.079 --> 00:05:23.600 Washington Nationals. Shortstop Mookie Betts stild reporters Friday he'd be 105 00:05:23.720 --> 00:05:26.600 joining the team today after he decided not to join 106 00:05:26.639 --> 00:05:29.399 the Boston Red Sox on a visit in twenty eighteen, 107 00:05:29.519 --> 00:05:33.279 during Trump's first term. The Dodgers last visited the White 108 00:05:33.279 --> 00:05:36.439 House as World Series champions in twenty twenty one. You 109 00:05:36.439 --> 00:05:39.560 can catch all the Dodger games on our sister station, 110 00:05:40.120 --> 00:05:43.879 klac AM five seventy. Let's say good morning now to 111 00:05:44.040 --> 00:05:49.279 ABC's Geordana Miller. Geordana, Israel continues its assault in Gaza. 112 00:05:49.360 --> 00:05:53.319 What's the latest in the southern city of Rafa. 113 00:05:53.680 --> 00:05:58.120 Well, we saw Israel put out new evacuation orders last 114 00:05:58.199 --> 00:06:03.360 night for central Gaza, and that was after Hamas claimed 115 00:06:03.839 --> 00:06:08.040 a strike on southern Israel that included ten rockets. Five 116 00:06:08.199 --> 00:06:11.959 were shot down, five landed in open areas. 117 00:06:11.959 --> 00:06:12.959 There were a few people with. 118 00:06:13.000 --> 00:06:18.519 Mild injuries and some buildings and cars damaged, but nothing major. 119 00:06:19.360 --> 00:06:22.759 But it does show that Hamas still has capabilities to 120 00:06:22.879 --> 00:06:27.800 strike up to twenty miles twenty five miles from its border. 121 00:06:28.839 --> 00:06:33.160 Those were long range rockets that were fired, and so 122 00:06:33.240 --> 00:06:36.360 the back and forth is continuing. We're going to see 123 00:06:36.680 --> 00:06:40.360 the Israeli Prime Minister meet face to face with President 124 00:06:40.360 --> 00:06:44.759 Trump today in Washington, a kind of ad hoc meeting, 125 00:06:44.879 --> 00:06:47.639 if you will, that was planned really at the last minute. 126 00:06:48.480 --> 00:06:50.519 It was born out of a phone call that the 127 00:06:50.560 --> 00:06:54.000 Prime Minister had with Trump from Hungary to talk about 128 00:06:54.000 --> 00:06:57.759 the tariffs. Right amid all the countries, Israel has a 129 00:06:57.839 --> 00:07:01.680 seventeen percent tariff according to the White House, and so 130 00:07:02.680 --> 00:07:05.600 Nitanie is coming to talk about that, and of course 131 00:07:05.600 --> 00:07:11.439 to talk about Gaza, the stalled ceasefire talks ran and 132 00:07:11.519 --> 00:07:15.399 even Turkey's new role in Syria. So a lot on 133 00:07:15.480 --> 00:07:18.720 the agenda, and I think what comes out of this 134 00:07:18.800 --> 00:07:23.279 meeting with Natanielle, specifically in regards to tariffs, may set 135 00:07:23.319 --> 00:07:27.079 the tone for other foreign leaders who we know have 136 00:07:27.199 --> 00:07:28.879 been calling the White House and who want to try 137 00:07:28.920 --> 00:07:30.600 to negotiate with the President. 138 00:07:31.120 --> 00:07:34.680 Yeah, we've been talking and it's going to be an 139 00:07:34.680 --> 00:07:38.279 interesting at least few weeks to see how the world 140 00:07:38.360 --> 00:07:41.319 reacts to those tariffs. You mentioned that Turkey's got a 141 00:07:41.319 --> 00:07:42.399 new rule in Syria. 142 00:07:42.399 --> 00:07:49.600 What's that, Well, Turkey, according to the Israelis, Turkey has 143 00:07:49.639 --> 00:07:53.600 been in Syria. On the ground, we're you know, looking 144 00:07:53.639 --> 00:07:57.680 at various military sites that either were once part of 145 00:07:57.720 --> 00:08:03.000 the Syrian regime under Bashah Assad or were part of 146 00:08:03.040 --> 00:08:06.800 the Russia of Russia's military build up in Syria, for example, 147 00:08:06.839 --> 00:08:12.079 the T four base, and apparent you know, israel Is 148 00:08:12.199 --> 00:08:17.720 uninterested in Turkey setting up any kind of military forces 149 00:08:18.240 --> 00:08:21.879 in Syria. And we saw the Israelis carry out very 150 00:08:21.879 --> 00:08:26.639 aggressive bombing campaigns across Syria in the last week, including 151 00:08:26.639 --> 00:08:30.519 at that T four base, and then officials coming out 152 00:08:30.519 --> 00:08:33.559 and saying this was a message to Turkey not to 153 00:08:33.639 --> 00:08:38.159 get involved in Syria, right, not to align itself with 154 00:08:39.279 --> 00:08:42.480 the new leader of Syria, which the Israelis say is 155 00:08:42.960 --> 00:08:46.080 just an Islamist you know, in a tie and a suit. 156 00:08:46.919 --> 00:08:51.480 But nobody who is really willing to accept Israel's presence 157 00:08:51.480 --> 00:08:55.799 in the region, right, So it puts the United States 158 00:08:55.799 --> 00:08:58.159 in a difficult position because Turkey, of course is part 159 00:08:58.200 --> 00:09:03.919 of NATO, and Turkey has often flirted between the West 160 00:09:04.000 --> 00:09:09.279 and the Russia Iranian access. So this is a new development, 161 00:09:09.799 --> 00:09:11.919 and certainly the Prime Minister is going to ask for 162 00:09:11.960 --> 00:09:15.919 Trump's help in preventing Turkey from any kind of presence 163 00:09:15.960 --> 00:09:16.519 in Syria. 164 00:09:16.879 --> 00:09:21.559 Okay, And then last week we got word that Hamas 165 00:09:21.559 --> 00:09:23.960 had said it was ready to release all the hostages 166 00:09:24.039 --> 00:09:26.279 as long as that Israel would leave the strip. 167 00:09:26.559 --> 00:09:30.519 Has Israel responded to that offering. 168 00:09:32.559 --> 00:09:37.960 Well, it's essentially kind of a false proposal. Even though 169 00:09:38.000 --> 00:09:39.960 Hamas said, yes, you know, we'll give you all the 170 00:09:40.279 --> 00:09:43.279 we'll give you everyone every you know, all of the 171 00:09:43.600 --> 00:09:47.919 hostages back. There's twenty four that are alive and over 172 00:09:48.039 --> 00:09:53.480 thirty bodies. Hamas is unwilling to step aside and relinquish 173 00:09:53.519 --> 00:09:56.679 control of the Gaza Strip. And so it's not enough 174 00:09:57.200 --> 00:09:59.679 to say we'll give you all the hostages back, and 175 00:09:59.720 --> 00:10:01.840 if you just leave the strip and just leave us 176 00:10:01.879 --> 00:10:05.159 alone in the Gaza Strip, now we can just declare 177 00:10:05.200 --> 00:10:05.840 the war over. 178 00:10:06.320 --> 00:10:06.399 No. 179 00:10:06.679 --> 00:10:08.919 I mean, Israel and the United States and much of 180 00:10:08.960 --> 00:10:11.799 the West has a serious interest in making sure that 181 00:10:11.799 --> 00:10:15.360 Hamas does not retain control of the Gaza Strip. And so, 182 00:10:16.080 --> 00:10:17.639 you know, it's kind of like putting a deal on 183 00:10:17.679 --> 00:10:20.799 the table that you know that the person in front 184 00:10:20.799 --> 00:10:23.519 of you is going to reject just for the sake 185 00:10:23.559 --> 00:10:26.399 of saying, hey, we're putting you know, it's like putting 186 00:10:26.399 --> 00:10:29.080 one piece of the pie on the table, right, Okay. 187 00:10:29.519 --> 00:10:33.320 So that wasn't any major night or anything like that. 188 00:10:33.399 --> 00:10:35.159 No, it's not a real no. 189 00:10:35.360 --> 00:10:37.679 Okay. And are they still talking or is it everything 190 00:10:37.720 --> 00:10:38.240 just stalled? 191 00:10:39.600 --> 00:10:41.679 Well, things are stalled, and I think you know, this 192 00:10:41.759 --> 00:10:43.720 meeting that Nataniel is going to have with Trump could 193 00:10:43.759 --> 00:10:46.840 get things moving. Again, right, Witkoff is going to be 194 00:10:47.080 --> 00:10:51.000 at the meeting. Steve Witkoff, the Midie stamvoy, and Ron Dermer, 195 00:10:51.159 --> 00:10:56.320 the Israeli who's really now heading the negotiating team, he'll 196 00:10:56.360 --> 00:11:00.039 be He's flying to Washington as well. So we a 197 00:11:01.039 --> 00:11:04.720 some movement on that. It's clear the President wants another deal, 198 00:11:06.159 --> 00:11:08.120 and I think the Israelis want to get out anyone 199 00:11:08.159 --> 00:11:11.879 they can that's still alive before a larger operation because 200 00:11:11.919 --> 00:11:14.559 they know the Israelis know the MOSS is not going 201 00:11:14.600 --> 00:11:18.399 to turn over every hostage. It's the only card they have, right, 202 00:11:18.799 --> 00:11:21.519 so they're trying to optimize how many people they can 203 00:11:21.559 --> 00:11:25.200 get out now before they have to go in. And unfortunately, 204 00:11:25.279 --> 00:11:27.159 you know the hostages that may be left there, it's 205 00:11:27.240 --> 00:11:29.000 Russian roulette. Who will survive? 206 00:11:30.000 --> 00:11:32.720 All right, ABC's Jerdona Miller. Thanks for bringing us up 207 00:11:32.720 --> 00:11:33.039 to date. 208 00:11:33.159 --> 00:11:35.879 We'll be talking to you soon, Tuxon. 209 00:11:35.960 --> 00:11:37.360 All right, let's get back to some of the stories 210 00:11:37.399 --> 00:11:39.559 coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. Talk 211 00:11:39.600 --> 00:11:43.120 of a recession is heating up as Trump administration tariffs 212 00:11:43.159 --> 00:11:45.720 take effect. JP Morgan is now raising the odds of 213 00:11:45.720 --> 00:11:49.279 a recession this year to sixty percent. Former Treasury Secretary 214 00:11:49.360 --> 00:11:53.159 Larry Summers's inflation is going up because tariffs are making 215 00:11:53.200 --> 00:11:53.919 prices higher. 216 00:11:54.639 --> 00:11:58.679 Loss to the economy is like if all oil price 217 00:11:58.799 --> 00:12:03.240 is doubled. Ever seen anything like this before? 218 00:12:03.480 --> 00:12:07.519 He says, this gives people less spending power. British carmaker 219 00:12:07.879 --> 00:12:11.799 Jaguar land Rover is suspending shipments to the US because 220 00:12:11.879 --> 00:12:15.360 of the tariffs. Other carmakers in Europe say they may 221 00:12:15.440 --> 00:12:20.720 do the same. Former Jaguar land Rover worker Richard Shuttleworth 222 00:12:20.799 --> 00:12:23.120 says a lot of their trade is with the US. 223 00:12:23.279 --> 00:12:24.960 They're all going to be a lot of jobs lost 224 00:12:25.200 --> 00:12:28.480 if they don't get it sorted. The US carmaker says 225 00:12:28.840 --> 00:12:31.039 its paws on shipments will stay in place for a 226 00:12:31.080 --> 00:12:33.840 month while it assesses the effects of a twenty five 227 00:12:33.879 --> 00:12:38.080 percent tariff. Rising rivers and flooding have worsened across the 228 00:12:38.120 --> 00:12:42.159 South and Midwest, threatening communities already damaged by days of 229 00:12:42.240 --> 00:12:44.720 rain and storms that have killed at least eighteen people 230 00:12:45.039 --> 00:12:48.480 from Texas to Ohio. Utilities have been scrambling to shut 231 00:12:48.519 --> 00:12:51.399 power and gas off, and cities have been giving out 232 00:12:51.440 --> 00:12:55.360 sandbags to protect homes and businesses. Forecasters warned that flooding 233 00:12:55.360 --> 00:12:59.720 could go on for days, especially in Kentucky, Tennessee, and Alabama. 234 00:13:00.440 --> 00:13:03.639 Ukraine is planning to send a delegation to Washington, d C. 235 00:13:03.879 --> 00:13:06.120 Next week for talks on a new draft of a 236 00:13:06.159 --> 00:13:10.240 proposed mineral deal with the US. Talks installed earlier this 237 00:13:10.360 --> 00:13:15.120 year after a contentious oval awful oval office meeting between 238 00:13:15.240 --> 00:13:19.919 Presidents Trump and Zelenski in February, the two US Senators 239 00:13:19.919 --> 00:13:24.159 from New York, Kirsten Gillibrand and Chuck Schumer, are calling 240 00:13:24.159 --> 00:13:27.000 on the Trump administration to keep all staffing for the 241 00:13:27.039 --> 00:13:29.120 World Trade Center Health Program. 242 00:13:29.240 --> 00:13:34.240 They are messing around with this program, this sacred, vital program, 243 00:13:34.519 --> 00:13:35.720 and we say enough. 244 00:13:36.840 --> 00:13:39.720 There are reports that employees in the program got notices 245 00:13:39.759 --> 00:13:42.720 on Friday saying they could lose their jobs. The program 246 00:13:42.759 --> 00:13:46.240 provides health services to nine to eleven first responders and 247 00:13:47.080 --> 00:13:50.960 survivors who are sick with nine to eleven related illnesses. 248 00:13:51.320 --> 00:13:53.519 The head of the World Trade Center Health Program has 249 00:13:53.519 --> 00:13:59.399 been let go, but Long Island Republican Congressman Andrew Garbarino 250 00:13:59.519 --> 00:14:04.039 says doctor John Hower was re hired last week. A 251 00:14:04.080 --> 00:14:07.480 new study shows having a strong willed mindset can increase 252 00:14:07.480 --> 00:14:08.720 your life expectancy. 253 00:14:09.159 --> 00:14:10.360 Ooh, I'm going to live forever. 254 00:14:10.879 --> 00:14:14.320 Research by Parens shows having a touch of tenacity or 255 00:14:14.360 --> 00:14:17.720 even stubbornness, can actually be an asset to help you 256 00:14:17.799 --> 00:14:22.159 live longer. The study says stubbornness doesn't necessarily mean refusing 257 00:14:22.200 --> 00:14:26.360 to change, but rather it can mean being resilient in 258 00:14:26.399 --> 00:14:29.799 the long term. Hundreds of La County Sheriff's deputies have 259 00:14:29.840 --> 00:14:34.240 boycotted the annual Baker to Vegas Challenge cup relay. They 260 00:14:34.240 --> 00:14:36.960 say it's in protest to what they call the wrongful 261 00:14:37.000 --> 00:14:41.039 conviction of fellow deputy Trevor Kirk. Kirk was found guilty 262 00:14:41.039 --> 00:14:43.879 in February of using excessive force on a woman who 263 00:14:43.919 --> 00:14:47.639 was robbing a grocery store in Lancaster. Stock futures not 264 00:14:47.799 --> 00:14:50.360 looking good as we head into the trading week, following 265 00:14:50.399 --> 00:14:52.519 the worst two days on Wall Street since the pandemic. 266 00:14:52.879 --> 00:14:56.000 The markets have been tumbling over concerns that President Trump 267 00:14:56.000 --> 00:14:59.360 has ignited a global trade war with his new tariffs. 268 00:15:00.000 --> 00:15:03.840 Friend's national championship in college basketball will be decided tonight 269 00:15:03.919 --> 00:15:07.720 in San Antonio, when the Florida Gators take on Houston 270 00:15:08.000 --> 00:15:12.960 in the women's NCAA final. Ukont dominated South Carolina eighty 271 00:15:13.039 --> 00:15:16.759 two fifty nine last night to win the women's championship title. 272 00:15:17.559 --> 00:15:19.840 At six oh five, it's Handled on the news, and 273 00:15:19.960 --> 00:15:24.279 Handle is back from Italy. Can't wait to find out 274 00:15:24.320 --> 00:15:26.240 all those things that he hasn't been telling you over 275 00:15:26.240 --> 00:15:27.159 the last three weeks. 276 00:15:27.720 --> 00:15:28.440 Let's say good. 277 00:15:28.279 --> 00:15:32.440 Morning now to ABC's White House correspond not ABC's kfi's 278 00:15:32.440 --> 00:15:34.799 white House correspondent, John Decker. You know, John, I did 279 00:15:34.799 --> 00:15:37.559 it like for a week without calling you ABC's correspondent, 280 00:15:37.600 --> 00:15:39.600 So got to give me a little credit. 281 00:15:39.600 --> 00:15:40.320 But I will warn you. 282 00:15:40.360 --> 00:15:43.600 My bold habits die hard, die hard. 283 00:15:43.759 --> 00:15:44.879 And I'm going to fall back on. 284 00:15:45.240 --> 00:15:47.080 I'm going to fall back on that. My mouth is 285 00:15:47.200 --> 00:15:49.559 not working today. I don't know why. Maybe it's because 286 00:15:49.600 --> 00:15:52.440 I exercised yesterday and my brain's like going, what you 287 00:15:52.519 --> 00:15:57.399 don't exercise? So anyway, let's get down to business. So 288 00:15:57.519 --> 00:16:00.440 we had a terrible two days on the stock market. 289 00:16:01.279 --> 00:16:04.240 We did, Yeah, lots of people talking about recession and 290 00:16:04.279 --> 00:16:06.600 are we expecting another dive today? 291 00:16:08.639 --> 00:16:12.679 Well, stock futures Adalla stock futures point to that, and 292 00:16:12.799 --> 00:16:15.879 other financial markets around the world also point to that. 293 00:16:15.919 --> 00:16:20.399 Whether you're looking at indices from China, from other indices 294 00:16:20.480 --> 00:16:24.080 in Asia or also in Europe or London, We'll have 295 00:16:24.159 --> 00:16:26.960 to wait and see. As you point out down days 296 00:16:27.480 --> 00:16:30.200 as it relates to the US financial markets both Thursday 297 00:16:30.240 --> 00:16:33.519 and Friday, on paper at least six trillion dollars in 298 00:16:33.639 --> 00:16:37.279 losses just over those two days. But the President, Amy, 299 00:16:37.480 --> 00:16:41.039 he does not show any signs of backing down related 300 00:16:41.080 --> 00:16:44.320 to his trade tariffs policy. He believes that it's in 301 00:16:44.360 --> 00:16:46.799 the good long term interest of the United States. 302 00:16:47.080 --> 00:16:48.679 He believes it will lead to a. 303 00:16:48.600 --> 00:16:52.960 Return of manufacturing jobs to the United States. Wall Street 304 00:16:52.960 --> 00:16:55.919 obviously does not look at it that in the same manner. 305 00:16:56.480 --> 00:16:59.960 But the President, you know, today he'll be talking about 306 00:17:00.080 --> 00:17:04.079 trade terriffs with a foreign counterpart, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin 307 00:17:04.079 --> 00:17:06.640 Netanyahu at the White House. They'll be a joint press 308 00:17:06.680 --> 00:17:10.839 conference this afternoon. Amy, Typically they just talk about security, 309 00:17:10.920 --> 00:17:13.960 but this particular visit, they're also talking about trade. 310 00:17:14.200 --> 00:17:18.160 Okay, And apparently Netanyaho isn't the only one who's coming 311 00:17:18.200 --> 00:17:18.519 knock in. 312 00:17:21.720 --> 00:17:24.519 Who are you referring to specifically when you say that, Well. 313 00:17:24.759 --> 00:17:27.839 That Trump yesterday was saying that, and some of his 314 00:17:27.960 --> 00:17:30.839 advisors too are saying that they've gotten calls from like 315 00:17:30.880 --> 00:17:32.799 fifty countries about the tariffs. 316 00:17:32.839 --> 00:17:36.519 Oh yes, yeah, I've heard that number. I've always skeptical 317 00:17:36.680 --> 00:17:39.960 or cynical when I hear list this perfect round number 318 00:17:40.000 --> 00:17:42.480 of fifty. You know, it's not forty nine, it's not 319 00:17:42.559 --> 00:17:45.680 thirty five, it's not thirty six, it's fifty. But in 320 00:17:45.720 --> 00:17:48.839 any case, that's what certain advisors to the president are 321 00:17:48.880 --> 00:17:53.799 saying as it relates to the Israeli Prime minister. Seventeen 322 00:17:53.839 --> 00:17:57.200 percent tariffs. That's what Israel is now facing as it 323 00:17:57.279 --> 00:18:02.200 relates to President Trump's trade tariffs policy. But so far, 324 00:18:02.279 --> 00:18:07.119 despite all of those outreach conversations that, according to the 325 00:18:07.119 --> 00:18:11.279 White House, have been going on, there has been no reversal, 326 00:18:11.480 --> 00:18:14.400 no downgrade as it relates to the trade tariff the 327 00:18:14.559 --> 00:18:16.880 numbers that the President has put out there for each 328 00:18:16.880 --> 00:18:17.880 individual country. 329 00:18:18.039 --> 00:18:21.160 Okay, and then when it comes to Israel, right before 330 00:18:21.359 --> 00:18:24.480 the tariffs went into effect, I know that Israel had said, okay, 331 00:18:24.519 --> 00:18:27.119 we'll drop all our tariffs. But now they're still facing 332 00:18:27.200 --> 00:18:30.880 seventeen percent. And didn't Trump say we want you guys 333 00:18:30.920 --> 00:18:33.400 to drop your tariffs and then will drop our tariffs. 334 00:18:33.680 --> 00:18:36.119 So there's some sort my understanding. 335 00:18:36.240 --> 00:18:38.559 You know, that's that's the word of reciprocal. You know, 336 00:18:38.640 --> 00:18:41.319 that's what that word means. But the President has not 337 00:18:41.359 --> 00:18:44.720 done that. Interesting that you mentioned that, Amy, because over 338 00:18:44.759 --> 00:18:48.680 the weekend, a big advisor to President Trump, that's Elon Musk, 339 00:18:48.720 --> 00:18:50.720 he put out there on social media. Wouldn't it be 340 00:18:50.759 --> 00:18:53.960 great to just have no trade tariffs in place for 341 00:18:54.119 --> 00:18:57.279 both the US and the European Union, so there would 342 00:18:57.319 --> 00:19:00.119 be essentially a free trade agreement between the EU in 343 00:19:00.119 --> 00:19:03.440 the US. But there's no sign of the President taking 344 00:19:03.480 --> 00:19:05.720 up Elon Musk on that piece of advice. 345 00:19:06.279 --> 00:19:09.279 And I wonder if the whole free trade thing could 346 00:19:09.480 --> 00:19:12.759 actually happen, because, like you know, Trump says he loves 347 00:19:12.799 --> 00:19:15.960 to use tariffs to try to, you know, kind of 348 00:19:16.079 --> 00:19:19.839 muscle other countries and stuff. So what's the likelihood that 349 00:19:19.880 --> 00:19:22.279 we would just say, Okay, guys, we're going to just trade. 350 00:19:22.319 --> 00:19:23.480 There's no tariffs anymore. 351 00:19:24.599 --> 00:19:24.880 Yeah. 352 00:19:24.960 --> 00:19:27.319 I don't think that there's likelihood of that, because what 353 00:19:27.359 --> 00:19:30.920 the President wants is he wants to improve the trade 354 00:19:30.960 --> 00:19:33.799 and balance that exists right now with the US and 355 00:19:33.920 --> 00:19:35.839 most of the rest of the world. The US has 356 00:19:35.839 --> 00:19:38.880 a trade surplus as it relates to certain countries, and 357 00:19:38.920 --> 00:19:42.200 believe it or not, with Great Britain, with Australia, but 358 00:19:42.240 --> 00:19:45.599 not with many countries, and zones around the world, not 359 00:19:45.680 --> 00:19:48.839 with China, not with the European Union, and the President 360 00:19:48.920 --> 00:19:53.480 believes that because of that trade and balance that exists, 361 00:19:53.519 --> 00:19:56.160 the only way to get to the point where there 362 00:19:56.240 --> 00:19:59.160 potentially could be a trade surplus that the US has 363 00:19:59.640 --> 00:20:02.240 is through this trade tariff's policy. So I think he's 364 00:20:02.240 --> 00:20:06.200 sticking with it despite the fact that financial markets do 365 00:20:06.279 --> 00:20:08.759 not like it. And you have some I guess you 366 00:20:08.759 --> 00:20:12.440 can call them titans of Wall Street weighing in Jamie Diamond, 367 00:20:12.759 --> 00:20:16.599 who heads up City Group. In addition to that Bill Ackman, 368 00:20:16.920 --> 00:20:20.440 who runs a huge hedge fund and was a huge 369 00:20:20.480 --> 00:20:25.000 backer of President Trump, both urging the President to put 370 00:20:25.039 --> 00:20:28.920 on pause this tariff's policy.
