Let's start with Amy 102 00:05:06.000 --> 00:05:13.240 Neil and me lead story. Well, the ongoing battle between 103 00:05:13.600 --> 00:05:17.839 President Trump and everybody else in government in the non 104 00:05:17.920 --> 00:05:19.480 executive branch part of government. 105 00:05:20.160 --> 00:05:23.199 The tariffs have been just ruled illegal or. 106 00:05:23.120 --> 00:05:25.560 Most of the tariffs by the federal by a federal 107 00:05:25.639 --> 00:05:26.920 judicial panel. 108 00:05:27.120 --> 00:05:28.959 And this is the Court of. 109 00:05:28.959 --> 00:05:33.360 International Trade, the US Court of International Trade. 110 00:05:33.319 --> 00:05:34.800 Which controls tariffs. 111 00:05:34.959 --> 00:05:38.839 And the problem has been from the beginning, how far 112 00:05:39.120 --> 00:05:42.800 can a president, in this case President Trump go in 113 00:05:42.920 --> 00:05:47.600 determining arbitrarily what he wants, who he's going to tariff, 114 00:05:47.759 --> 00:05:52.319 how much he's going to tariff, to what extent, how long? 115 00:05:53.120 --> 00:05:55.519 And the court said, you know what, there are some 116 00:05:55.720 --> 00:06:00.000 rules here. The president's position is that there are no rules. 117 00:06:00.199 --> 00:06:04.439 The president has unbridled, unfettered power to tear if anybody 118 00:06:04.600 --> 00:06:08.279 he wants, change it, increase it, decrease it, change it 119 00:06:08.319 --> 00:06:11.240 three times a week, which seems to be happening, and 120 00:06:12.720 --> 00:06:17.199 it's okay, we'll see if there are some guide rails here. 121 00:06:17.480 --> 00:06:20.439 They also allowed some of it too, because it's very 122 00:06:20.480 --> 00:06:24.639 specific as to how far the law allows a president 123 00:06:24.680 --> 00:06:27.240 to go, and it's in there in the law. He says, 124 00:06:27.600 --> 00:06:29.800 none of that matters. I am president, and I can 125 00:06:29.839 --> 00:06:33.519 do whatever the hell I want. The pardon power, for example, 126 00:06:33.560 --> 00:06:37.920 the pardon power is unfettered. He literally can pardon anybody. 127 00:06:37.959 --> 00:06:41.399 He can pardon anybody who would turn around and take 128 00:06:41.720 --> 00:06:45.199 top secrets and hand them to China. Not that he 129 00:06:45.279 --> 00:06:51.000 ever would, of course, but it's just unbridled, not so 130 00:06:51.160 --> 00:06:54.720 much the terriffs. So we'll talk a lot more about that. Well, 131 00:06:54.759 --> 00:06:56.160 seven o'clock, I'm going to talk about that. 132 00:06:58.199 --> 00:07:03.199 Mister Musk is ejecting from the Trump administration. CEO Elon 133 00:07:03.319 --> 00:07:07.839 Musk is leaving. His off boarding has begun, according to 134 00:07:07.879 --> 00:07:13.439 the White House. He posted on x yesterday thanking President 135 00:07:13.439 --> 00:07:16.879 Trump for his time as a special government employee with 136 00:07:16.920 --> 00:07:24.079 the Department of Government Efficiency draws to an end. He added, No, 137 00:07:24.199 --> 00:07:26.680 he didn't add, but somebody said that his departure would 138 00:07:27.000 --> 00:07:29.759 was decided at a senior staff level. But he was 139 00:07:29.800 --> 00:07:31.839 always scheduled to leave after one hundred and thirty days. 140 00:07:32.000 --> 00:07:33.439 Yeah, about to hit that. 141 00:07:33.839 --> 00:07:35.600 And you knew that he were going to leave as 142 00:07:35.639 --> 00:07:37.600 soon as he started getting more press than the president. 143 00:07:38.560 --> 00:07:40.519 No one gets more press than the president, So you 144 00:07:40.600 --> 00:07:42.240 knew he was on his way out. And what his 145 00:07:42.279 --> 00:07:46.040 contention is, He was there to bring the deficit down, 146 00:07:46.120 --> 00:07:51.040 to bring down the national debt, and this new budget 147 00:07:51.240 --> 00:07:54.519 that President Trump is proposing or Congress is proposing in 148 00:07:54.560 --> 00:07:57.040 President Trump they were having some fights about it too. 149 00:07:58.120 --> 00:08:02.720 Is that it's going to increase the national debt by 150 00:08:02.839 --> 00:08:07.120 trillions of dollars. And if you remember President Trump came 151 00:08:07.160 --> 00:08:11.800 into office saying I Am going to decrease the debt. 152 00:08:12.160 --> 00:08:14.199 Well, it's going to increase the debt. 153 00:08:14.639 --> 00:08:18.879 And that's and Elon Musk is not very happy about that, 154 00:08:19.160 --> 00:08:20.160 and it's making it known. 155 00:08:22.959 --> 00:08:28.079 Stew one More Health and Humans Secretary Robert F. Kennedy 156 00:08:28.120 --> 00:08:32.399 announced just on Tuesday that his agency will no longer 157 00:08:32.519 --> 00:08:36.320 be recommending the coronavirus vaccine for healthy pregnant women and 158 00:08:36.440 --> 00:08:40.159 healthy children. Issue here is now you've got doctors coming 159 00:08:40.200 --> 00:08:44.879 out and going, well, you know, pregnancy is one of 160 00:08:44.919 --> 00:08:49.879 the concerns. It's one of the mitigating circumstances that they 161 00:08:50.000 --> 00:08:54.840 recommend you should have the vaccine for because it can 162 00:08:54.960 --> 00:09:00.480 cause problems. COVID can cause problems with pregnancy if the 163 00:09:00.679 --> 00:09:03.440 pregnant woman should get it. So doctors are a little 164 00:09:04.039 --> 00:09:07.840 pissed off about this, going against the very studies that 165 00:09:07.840 --> 00:09:08.240 they've done. 166 00:09:08.320 --> 00:09:12.639 Yeah, this is mainstream medicine says, this is not a 167 00:09:12.679 --> 00:09:16.960 good decision. Pregnant women should get the COVID vaccine because 168 00:09:17.000 --> 00:09:20.559 if they get COVID, it can be catastrophic. And of 169 00:09:20.600 --> 00:09:24.320 course Robert Kennedy is not a big fan of COVID's 170 00:09:24.360 --> 00:09:27.559 from a vaccines from day one. Matter of fact, he 171 00:09:27.639 --> 00:09:31.480 has asked for testing to go on with all the 172 00:09:31.600 --> 00:09:36.159 vaccines because they didn't do the double blind placebo tests 173 00:09:36.440 --> 00:09:38.559 and he wants to go back and test everything, like 174 00:09:38.600 --> 00:09:43.399 the polio vaccine. Let's go back and retest the polio 175 00:09:43.559 --> 00:09:46.840 vaccine that came out in the fifties that has saved 176 00:09:46.879 --> 00:09:49.279 tens of millions of people. He said, we didn't test 177 00:09:49.279 --> 00:09:51.159 it enough. We have to go back and test it. 178 00:09:51.440 --> 00:09:54.480 You are not going to do any test in a 179 00:09:54.600 --> 00:09:57.639 lab that is going to do more than millions of 180 00:09:57.679 --> 00:10:01.200 people taking the vaccine that we took during COVID. How 181 00:10:01.200 --> 00:10:03.559 are you going to do a study is more than. 182 00:10:03.480 --> 00:10:07.080 Because the argument, the argument is the danger of that 183 00:10:07.240 --> 00:10:11.279 vaccine was not tested only the efficacy that it worked, 184 00:10:11.360 --> 00:10:14.279 not the dangers. Because we know what vaccine does, just 185 00:10:14.320 --> 00:10:19.080 ask Kennedy. It causes autism, It causes all kinds of problems. 186 00:10:19.639 --> 00:10:22.039 What causes two bdiyes too close together? 187 00:10:22.240 --> 00:10:26.279 Like, well, that's another one. So yeah, it's it's tough, all. 188 00:10:26.320 --> 00:10:28.879 Right, visas revoked. Secretary of St. 189 00:10:28.879 --> 00:10:33.399 Marco Rubio says the US is going to begin revoking 190 00:10:33.600 --> 00:10:38.919 visas for Chinese students. He said that it includes for those, 191 00:10:39.279 --> 00:10:42.159 in his words, with connections to the Chinese Communist Party 192 00:10:42.639 --> 00:10:47.519 or studying in critical fields. Chinese students make up are 193 00:10:47.519 --> 00:10:50.000 about two hundred and seventy thousand of them in the US. 194 00:10:50.000 --> 00:10:52.559 That's about a quarter of all the foreign students in 195 00:10:52.600 --> 00:10:53.000 the US. 196 00:10:53.519 --> 00:10:54.480 Yeah. 197 00:10:54.519 --> 00:10:57.720 On the one hand, I buy into the fact that 198 00:10:57.759 --> 00:11:03.279 there is tremendous amount of espionage that's being stolen from 199 00:11:03.600 --> 00:11:08.120 US industry, from people that work their spies that the 200 00:11:08.200 --> 00:11:12.799 Chinese government puts into place just to steal technology. Whether 201 00:11:12.919 --> 00:11:16.240 students do it or not, I don't know. And this 202 00:11:16.399 --> 00:11:20.759 is pretty far reaching, making it very almost impossible. And 203 00:11:20.799 --> 00:11:24.159 there's those are the number one group of foreign students, 204 00:11:24.200 --> 00:11:28.960 particularly at California. And by the way, one of the 205 00:11:29.000 --> 00:11:31.799 problems is, you know, they get tens of thousands of 206 00:11:31.840 --> 00:11:35.240 these and they can't tell the applications apart. 207 00:11:36.159 --> 00:11:37.759 You know, they all look exactly the same. 208 00:11:39.919 --> 00:11:44.360 Okay, Taco trade Trump doesn't like it. President Trump has 209 00:11:44.679 --> 00:11:47.360 bristled when he was asked about a New Wall Street 210 00:11:47.399 --> 00:11:52.600 term based on his his tendency to put trades on 211 00:11:53.039 --> 00:11:56.440 or tariffs on, take them off, threaten them, then say oh, 212 00:11:56.440 --> 00:11:59.440 hold off. He says it was a nasty question that 213 00:11:59.480 --> 00:12:01.440 he was asked about. A reporter asked Trump in the 214 00:12:01.440 --> 00:12:04.639 Oval office about what was dubbed by a Financial Times 215 00:12:04.679 --> 00:12:08.799 columnist as the Taco trade. It stands for Trump always 216 00:12:09.039 --> 00:12:09.919 chickens out. 217 00:12:10.399 --> 00:12:12.000 Yeah, he was not happy with that. 218 00:12:12.279 --> 00:12:13.360 Now I saw it. 219 00:12:13.600 --> 00:12:15.240 He was like, yeah, I haven't heard of that, and 220 00:12:15.360 --> 00:12:18.240 that kind of went back and fired off a few 221 00:12:18.480 --> 00:12:21.080 things of why he says he's not chickening. 222 00:12:20.840 --> 00:12:24.159 Out right, And he says, listen, yeah, I go ahead 223 00:12:24.200 --> 00:12:26.200 and I announce, and then I take back, and then 224 00:12:26.240 --> 00:12:29.279 I announce and then I change it. And its negotiation 225 00:12:29.480 --> 00:12:31.559 is what it is to get these people to the table, 226 00:12:32.360 --> 00:12:37.159 because the reason the tariffs are going into place is, frankly, 227 00:12:37.320 --> 00:12:42.480 our balance of trade is miserable. That we're importing many, 228 00:12:42.519 --> 00:12:46.000 many more products than we're selling to various countries. It's 229 00:12:46.039 --> 00:12:49.320 a lot more complicated than that, a lot more complicated 230 00:12:49.320 --> 00:12:52.080 than that. But of course life is fairly simple in 231 00:12:52.120 --> 00:12:56.399 the world of this administration. So he's saying, no, remember 232 00:12:56.480 --> 00:12:58.840 that the economy was going to explode as soon as 233 00:12:58.840 --> 00:13:03.120 he came into office literally day one, not quite and 234 00:13:03.399 --> 00:13:07.440 there's a bunch of other things, So I think inherently, 235 00:13:07.679 --> 00:13:08.559 I'm sorry. 236 00:13:08.600 --> 00:13:09.399 Are we hearing you now? 237 00:13:09.480 --> 00:13:12.080 Yeah? Yeah, yeah. You gotta love that term taco. 238 00:13:11.799 --> 00:13:14.240 Though, I love it. I love it. Yeah. 239 00:13:14.440 --> 00:13:17.559 So it's a lot more complicated life happens to be, 240 00:13:17.639 --> 00:13:21.320 especially under this stuff, under what happens with the trade 241 00:13:21.320 --> 00:13:23.320 and the depth sit I mean, his heart if he 242 00:13:23.360 --> 00:13:26.600 wills in the right place, because he wants to bring businesses, 243 00:13:26.679 --> 00:13:29.440 he wants to bring employment, he wants to bring factories 244 00:13:29.480 --> 00:13:31.840 back to the United States. I don't think anybody can 245 00:13:31.919 --> 00:13:35.879 argue that. But is it realistic? Yesterday I did a 246 00:13:35.919 --> 00:13:40.000 story on he wants Apple all iPhones made in the 247 00:13:40.080 --> 00:13:40.519 United States. 248 00:13:40.559 --> 00:13:43.399 Impossible, impossible, and he. 249 00:13:43.360 --> 00:13:46.759 Told Tim Cook, you either bring all of production here 250 00:13:47.120 --> 00:13:49.519 and or I'm hitting you with a twenty five percent 251 00:13:50.000 --> 00:13:51.080 tariff right now. 252 00:13:51.399 --> 00:13:57.360 So anyway, is it taco? Is it burrito? I don't know. 253 00:13:59.519 --> 00:14:03.720 Feeling hot, hot hot, get ready for several years of 254 00:14:03.840 --> 00:14:07.799 even more record breaking heat that will push the Earth 255 00:14:07.919 --> 00:14:12.159 to more deadly, fiery, uncomfortable extremes. That is from the 256 00:14:12.200 --> 00:14:17.120 World Meteorological Organization and the UK Meteorological Office they say 257 00:14:17.120 --> 00:14:19.519 there's an eighty percent chance the world will break another 258 00:14:19.600 --> 00:14:23.679 annual temperature record temperature record in the next five years. 259 00:14:24.080 --> 00:14:28.399 You know you're not hearing anymore that if we reduce 260 00:14:28.519 --> 00:14:34.919 the emissions, carbon emissions, fossil fuel production and burning down dramatically, 261 00:14:35.799 --> 00:14:36.679 it will help. 262 00:14:36.720 --> 00:14:40.360 It may turn around, it'll stop climate change. It won't. 263 00:14:40.399 --> 00:14:42.679 We've hit critical mass. We're done. 264 00:14:43.080 --> 00:14:45.759 It's here, and if we do nothing, if we bring 265 00:14:45.799 --> 00:14:47.919 it down to zero, it's still here and it's going 266 00:14:47.960 --> 00:14:48.240 to go on. 267 00:14:48.360 --> 00:14:48.519 Now. 268 00:14:48.559 --> 00:14:51.000 The only issue is how fast is it going to 269 00:14:51.000 --> 00:14:53.120 go at one hundred miles an hour or is it 270 00:14:53.120 --> 00:14:53.720 going to go at. 271 00:14:53.639 --> 00:14:56.879 Fifty miles an hour. So far, all of. 272 00:14:56.759 --> 00:15:01.120 The predictions from the climatologists, the science to study this stuff, 273 00:15:01.720 --> 00:15:05.120 it's moving far faster in terms of the world heating 274 00:15:05.200 --> 00:15:06.320 up than anticipated. 275 00:15:06.320 --> 00:15:08.919 That has been reported. Not good news. I've said this. 276 00:15:09.120 --> 00:15:11.919 I'm happy that I'm not twenty years old and about 277 00:15:11.919 --> 00:15:14.679 to live for the rest of my life watching what's 278 00:15:14.720 --> 00:15:15.200 going to happen. 279 00:15:15.240 --> 00:15:17.399 I do not envy my daughters. I do not envy 280 00:15:17.759 --> 00:15:21.799 their kids. I don't the. 281 00:15:21.759 --> 00:15:24.279 Earth will be fine. Just to people on it won't be. 282 00:15:24.320 --> 00:15:26.080 Oh yeah, the Earth is going to be very hot. 283 00:15:26.480 --> 00:15:29.080 You know, I've been through a bunch of things. It'll 284 00:15:29.120 --> 00:15:29.519 be fine. 285 00:15:29.879 --> 00:15:32.120 I think it's gonna be I think it's gonna be very, 286 00:15:32.200 --> 00:15:35.360 very tough. But you're right, will it Will it come back? Well, 287 00:15:35.360 --> 00:15:38.240 it came back after the dinosaurs died and the big 288 00:15:38.320 --> 00:15:40.120 meteor hit and after the ice age. 289 00:15:40.159 --> 00:15:40.679 That's true. 290 00:15:40.720 --> 00:15:42.600 But we have to live in there, or you have 291 00:15:42.639 --> 00:15:45.840 to live in there, because I'm not going to the 292 00:15:45.879 --> 00:15:47.960 Only thing is, you know, those of us are going 293 00:15:48.039 --> 00:15:50.080 to get buried. If you're cremated, you're gonna heat up. 294 00:15:50.080 --> 00:15:52.240 But if you're buried, if you're gonna get buried, you're 295 00:15:52.240 --> 00:15:54.960 gonna cook in the ground anyway, So enjoy. It's like 296 00:15:55.279 --> 00:15:58.320 one of those you know pigs that they the pork 297 00:15:58.399 --> 00:16:01.559 they cook in Hawaii, you know, with the stones and 298 00:16:01.600 --> 00:16:03.080 they put the pig in it and then they put 299 00:16:03.080 --> 00:16:04.200 the banana leaves on it. 300 00:16:04.639 --> 00:16:04.840 You know. 301 00:16:05.080 --> 00:16:07.200 Really, that's what's going to happen to us if you 302 00:16:07.240 --> 00:16:08.639 get buried. I just thought of that. 303 00:16:08.879 --> 00:16:10.120 That's so, that's a world. 304 00:16:10.159 --> 00:16:13.279 There's a Now Now all I want is koloa pig 305 00:16:13.320 --> 00:16:17.720 and eggs right now. All right, Bill, you've been complaining 306 00:16:17.720 --> 00:16:21.120 and concerned about this as well. One of the concerns 307 00:16:21.519 --> 00:16:24.080 is that some of these cuts are going to hit 308 00:16:24.200 --> 00:16:29.440 scientific research. Sixteen states are suing Trump and his administration 309 00:16:29.600 --> 00:16:33.519 rather over National Science Foundation directive. They're looking at these 310 00:16:33.559 --> 00:16:36.399 and they're saying, this is going to gut the National 311 00:16:37.240 --> 00:16:41.759 Science Foundation. You know, on one side, you've got people 312 00:16:41.759 --> 00:16:45.799 in the Trump cap the MAGA type folks that are 313 00:16:45.840 --> 00:16:48.840 saying that there's not enough research on vaccines. And then 314 00:16:49.080 --> 00:16:52.279 on the other side they're cutting scientific research. 315 00:16:52.840 --> 00:16:54.600 Well, they are going to cut and they are cutting 316 00:16:54.639 --> 00:16:58.000 scientific research. This is not an administration that likes science, 317 00:16:58.679 --> 00:17:02.240 that likes research, that like scientific breakthrough. 318 00:17:04.799 --> 00:17:06.920 It's all about politics. It's that simple. 319 00:17:08.440 --> 00:17:13.119 If whoever is a proponent a supporter, gets the kudos, 320 00:17:13.279 --> 00:17:17.759 and if not done and it's tough. I mean, we're 321 00:17:17.799 --> 00:17:23.960 talking about gutting programs that actually going to save people's lives. 322 00:17:25.119 --> 00:17:27.440 The United States is going to come from the forefront 323 00:17:27.519 --> 00:17:30.519 of this kind of research, which it has been. Again 324 00:17:31.119 --> 00:17:34.119 I'm not an exceptionalist, but in many cases, the US 325 00:17:34.279 --> 00:17:35.759 is the greatest country in the world. 326 00:17:35.839 --> 00:17:38.000 As I've said many times, this is one of them. 327 00:17:38.039 --> 00:17:40.480 This is one of the reasons. Well that's being cut 328 00:17:40.480 --> 00:17:41.119 off at the knees. 329 00:17:41.240 --> 00:17:44.599 Unfortunately, what country do you think is the best country 330 00:17:45.440 --> 00:17:47.240 in terms of what to live in. I don't know. 331 00:17:47.720 --> 00:17:48.279 It depends. 332 00:17:48.759 --> 00:17:52.359 It depends on what your parameters are. It depends if 333 00:17:52.400 --> 00:17:55.799 you're poor, any of the Scandinavian countries. 334 00:17:57.279 --> 00:17:59.640 If you're rich, the US is a great place to live. 335 00:18:00.359 --> 00:18:03.599 If you want scientific endeavors, if you like research, the 336 00:18:03.720 --> 00:18:07.480 United States. If you want a safety net, you go 337 00:18:07.519 --> 00:18:10.799 to Finland. If you want a great education, a great 338 00:18:10.839 --> 00:18:15.559 general education, you go to Norway. If you have kids, 339 00:18:15.799 --> 00:18:19.000 So it depends on where and what and what are 340 00:18:19.000 --> 00:18:22.400 the parameters. If you like great weather, you go to 341 00:18:22.440 --> 00:18:25.759 San Diego. It's the best weather in the world. And 342 00:18:25.799 --> 00:18:29.720 that's part of the United States. If you like guns, huh, 343 00:18:29.920 --> 00:18:33.880 no issue on that one. If you want a country 344 00:18:33.920 --> 00:18:37.359 that is neutral, where everybody is happy that they don't 345 00:18:37.400 --> 00:18:40.039 get into politics, they don't go into wars, you know, 346 00:18:40.079 --> 00:18:42.759 they're not part of all this, you go to Sweden. 347 00:18:44.319 --> 00:18:47.480 You don't live in Iran, which is all about terrorism. 348 00:18:47.559 --> 00:18:52.519 So you know why and what. You can't just say 349 00:18:53.119 --> 00:18:55.440 the greatest country in the world. I mean you can, 350 00:18:56.920 --> 00:19:01.519 but it's as it is. Life is more complicated than 351 00:19:01.759 --> 00:19:06.640 just black and white. Race relations not so good here. 352 00:19:08.359 --> 00:19:11.319 Tax if you liking if you like eating sand for dinner, 353 00:19:11.519 --> 00:19:12.359 you go to Yemen. 354 00:19:13.799 --> 00:19:18.799 I'm sorry, I could keep on going and going coladas 355 00:19:18.200 --> 00:19:22.200 and getting caught in the rain. You go to the 356 00:19:22.279 --> 00:19:25.559 Bahamas if you want to wear shorts and drink yourself silly. 357 00:19:25.599 --> 00:19:28.839 Okay, Amy, Sorry, that's okay. Uh. 358 00:19:28.960 --> 00:19:32.559 Taxing the rich is not flying in the House. House 359 00:19:32.599 --> 00:19:36.119 Republicans have rejected a push by some allys allies of 360 00:19:36.200 --> 00:19:40.440 Trump to include hikes on the rich in the legislation 361 00:19:40.519 --> 00:19:45.559 they passed last week. The measure excluded a millionaire's tax, 362 00:19:45.599 --> 00:19:48.200 which Trump has said he was open to, and other 363 00:19:48.240 --> 00:19:51.400 proposals to raise taxes on top earners. Of course, it 364 00:19:51.480 --> 00:19:55.880 was pitched by Stephen Bannon, the president's first term chief strategist. 365 00:19:56.240 --> 00:19:59.400 The Senate could make some changes to the Republicans in 366 00:19:59.440 --> 00:20:03.720 the House are expected to say, no, Yeah. 367 00:20:03.480 --> 00:20:05.920 This is interesting because this is kind intuitive. This is 368 00:20:05.960 --> 00:20:11.000 the president wanting to tax the rich. Everybody above four 369 00:20:11.039 --> 00:20:14.119 hundred thousand dollars is going to get taxed more, and 370 00:20:14.279 --> 00:20:18.759 his GOP, the GOP stalwarts. You don't tax the rich 371 00:20:19.039 --> 00:20:23.400 because the rich produced jobs, produced businesses, and you don't 372 00:20:23.400 --> 00:20:24.119 want to stop that. 373 00:20:24.799 --> 00:20:33.240 So President's playing a middle ground on this one. Interestingly enough, Okay. 374 00:20:31.640 --> 00:20:34.720 Maybe to him, he doesn't think they're rich. He's like millionaires, 375 00:20:34.839 --> 00:20:35.160 aren't they. 376 00:20:35.519 --> 00:20:37.559 Yeah, that's true. Four hundred thousand dollars. 377 00:20:37.839 --> 00:20:40.920 Yeah, that's middle class, not even middle class, lower middle class. 378 00:20:41.079 --> 00:20:42.519 Was his threshold. Four hundred thousand. 379 00:20:42.559 --> 00:20:44.839 That was a that was a Biden thresholder there was. 380 00:20:44.960 --> 00:20:46.839 I think it's like two and a half million, is 381 00:20:46.880 --> 00:20:48.200 what Trump was saying. 382 00:20:48.400 --> 00:20:49.960 I don't think so. I think the income has four 383 00:20:50.000 --> 00:20:53.039 hundred thousand dollars. I think so. You can look that up. 384 00:20:53.319 --> 00:20:54.319 It's a different tax. 385 00:20:55.960 --> 00:21:00.240 But Biden was going to cut taxes and the four 386 00:21:00.319 --> 00:21:03.599 hundred thousand dollars was going to be the threshold. 387 00:21:04.480 --> 00:21:05.839 I do believe that's true. 388 00:21:06.359 --> 00:21:10.680 Okay, you know how they have, you know, taxes for 389 00:21:10.720 --> 00:21:15.160 everything nowadays they're adding everything.

It's all cumulative. 399 00:21:43.160 --> 00:21:45.880 You go to New York, it's twelve or thirteen percent 400 00:21:46.559 --> 00:21:49.160 on top of everything else that you pay. 401 00:21:49.559 --> 00:21:53.759
