No, you know that. Just 57 00:02:44.919 --> 00:02:47.599 a quick story about that i'd share with you. 58 00:02:48.439 --> 00:02:50.759 We used to have Rich Marauda on the show. I 59 00:02:50.759 --> 00:02:54.080 think this is before you even came aboard. Rich was 60 00:02:54.080 --> 00:02:56.719 a sports guy for many, many years here on the 61 00:02:56.719 --> 00:03:00.439 morning show. He was with us for twenty something years. Anyway, 62 00:03:00.479 --> 00:03:04.000 he had a dog, Henry, this little puff. 63 00:03:03.759 --> 00:03:04.759 Ball of a dog. 64 00:03:04.840 --> 00:03:07.159 You know those little, tiny, puffy white dogs that looked 65 00:03:07.199 --> 00:03:10.599 like a gay guy's carpet slippers, you know those and 66 00:03:11.000 --> 00:03:15.439 the Anyway, he loved that dog. I mean, he loved 67 00:03:15.520 --> 00:03:21.759 just beyondwards. And so when Henry died, he was so distraught. 68 00:03:21.800 --> 00:03:23.879 I mean he could barely move. I mean there's no 69 00:03:24.080 --> 00:03:28.240 question how upset Rich was. So I called him up 70 00:03:28.240 --> 00:03:30.599 a few weeks later, and this was off the air, 71 00:03:30.719 --> 00:03:34.919 and I was talking to him and I said, so, 72 00:03:35.080 --> 00:03:37.439 how's it going. And he had to excuse himself. He goes, Bill, 73 00:03:38.479 --> 00:03:41.400 excuse me, it's time for my walk with Henry. And 74 00:03:41.439 --> 00:03:45.680 I'm thinking, wait a minute. Henry died a couple of 75 00:03:45.680 --> 00:03:46.199 months ago. 76 00:03:47.120 --> 00:03:49.680 And to give you an idea how sick Rich was 77 00:03:50.599 --> 00:03:54.120 or is, Rich would take the box. 78 00:03:53.879 --> 00:03:58.919 That Henry's ashes were in, and he would walk around 79 00:03:59.000 --> 00:04:02.120 the golf course with it. Because he lived up in Reno, 80 00:04:02.199 --> 00:04:07.599 still does. He took Henry out for a walk every day. 81 00:04:10.479 --> 00:04:12.919 I thought i'd share that with you in any case. 82 00:04:13.080 --> 00:04:17.439 You yeah, good, good morning, Neil, Good morning, Willie Wolf, 83 00:04:17.879 --> 00:04:21.839 thank you.

No, I got no, I 194 00:09:46.840 --> 00:09:47.120 got it. 195 00:09:47.159 --> 00:09:49.519 I'm just trying to figure out and realize how clever 196 00:09:49.600 --> 00:09:50.000 that was. 197 00:09:50.080 --> 00:09:51.159 And I'm super clever. 198 00:09:51.559 --> 00:09:52.679 Yeah, I'm reaching for that one. 199 00:09:52.759 --> 00:09:55.120 I've forgotten how clever I am. 200 00:09:55.519 --> 00:09:59.360 All right, handle here on a Monday morning, it is 201 00:09:59.480 --> 00:10:03.000 the seventh day of April. Okay, before I get into 202 00:10:03.639 --> 00:10:06.399 what's going on with the market, and we're expecting the 203 00:10:06.399 --> 00:10:11.840 markets to explode today again downwards, coming off of going 204 00:10:11.879 --> 00:10:17.240 to Europe Italy where I just got married. As you're 205 00:10:17.279 --> 00:10:19.840 gonna be introduced to Lindsay coming up at eight o'clock, 206 00:10:19.879 --> 00:10:22.200 I'm gonna have her say hello to us. And she 207 00:10:22.320 --> 00:10:25.759 is pretty liberal. I mean, she is pretty out there liberal, 208 00:10:26.320 --> 00:10:29.080 and so obviously she's not a huge fan of what's 209 00:10:29.120 --> 00:10:33.159 going on in this country. But it's really interesting as 210 00:10:33.200 --> 00:10:37.720 we went through Italy and people would ask, oh, are 211 00:10:37.759 --> 00:10:38.440 you American? 212 00:10:39.440 --> 00:10:42.159 And what her response was. 213 00:10:42.559 --> 00:10:47.559 Lindsay's response was, instead of saying yeah, and then the 214 00:10:47.600 --> 00:10:51.120 conversation goes, where are you from Los Angeles and on 215 00:10:51.200 --> 00:10:53.440 and on, she started with. 216 00:10:54.279 --> 00:10:56.960 I didn't vote for him. I want you to know 217 00:10:57.080 --> 00:10:58.519 right now, I didn't vote for him. 218 00:10:59.360 --> 00:11:03.080 And so that started the conversation. And here was the 219 00:11:03.120 --> 00:11:05.080 response that we got back. And this is not a 220 00:11:05.159 --> 00:11:06.840 value judgment, because I'm going to talk a little bit 221 00:11:06.840 --> 00:11:10.159 about the markets obviously in the next few minutes and 222 00:11:10.200 --> 00:11:12.799 what's going on, and it's not nearly as black and. 223 00:11:12.799 --> 00:11:16.720 White as people portray this on either side, but I 224 00:11:16.759 --> 00:11:17.480 will tell you. 225 00:11:17.639 --> 00:11:22.200 What I experienced over there is people don't get it. 226 00:11:23.159 --> 00:11:27.759 They do not understand what is going on here. They 227 00:11:28.080 --> 00:11:34.279 just don't understand Donald Trump, and they don't understand who 228 00:11:34.399 --> 00:11:34.799 he is. 229 00:11:35.279 --> 00:11:36.960 Well, I think they do for the most part. I mean, 230 00:11:36.960 --> 00:11:40.080 he's pretty transparent. 231 00:11:39.960 --> 00:11:43.000 But they don't understand what we are about bringing him 232 00:11:43.039 --> 00:11:47.120 to office. They get none of the nuances as to 233 00:11:47.600 --> 00:11:50.240 why he was able to connect in many ways the 234 00:11:50.279 --> 00:11:55.519 Republicans the Democrats were not, how the Democrats missed the boat, 235 00:11:55.559 --> 00:11:59.679 how our philosophy is, how the DEI and the political 236 00:11:59.679 --> 00:12:04.080 correctness was overdone by the Democrats, on and on. 237 00:12:04.159 --> 00:12:04.960 They miss all of that. 238 00:12:05.639 --> 00:12:06.919 All they know is. 239 00:12:08.639 --> 00:12:11.480 We don't understand what you guys are doing. We don't 240 00:12:11.600 --> 00:12:15.159 understand him, what is happening. They are flummixed about this. 241 00:12:16.159 --> 00:12:19.919 So let me then dive into what is going to 242 00:12:19.960 --> 00:12:22.759 happen today, and it's going to be happening, and then 243 00:12:22.799 --> 00:12:24.960 I'm going to give you a little bit of history here, 244 00:12:25.000 --> 00:12:26.639 because I think we have to take all of this 245 00:12:26.759 --> 00:12:32.279 in historical context. We know that Donald Trump's primary reason 246 00:12:32.519 --> 00:12:38.080 for these tariffs is simple fairness reciprocity. When he says, 247 00:12:38.639 --> 00:12:41.639 the other countries of the world make it very difficult 248 00:12:41.679 --> 00:12:44.679 for US to sell products in their countries, and we 249 00:12:44.759 --> 00:12:48.320 make it very easy for them to sell products in 250 00:12:48.480 --> 00:12:51.600 our countries. And that's done by way of tariffs. That's 251 00:12:51.600 --> 00:12:57.279 absolutely true. We sell far less into Canada. 252 00:12:56.919 --> 00:12:59.000 For example, than they sell to us. 253 00:13:00.200 --> 00:13:03.200 They make it more difficult for us to sell there 254 00:13:03.519 --> 00:13:05.879 than we do for them to sell here. 255 00:13:06.879 --> 00:13:07.480 That's a given. 256 00:13:08.559 --> 00:13:11.639 And what Trump is saying is this is simply a 257 00:13:11.720 --> 00:13:15.320 question of fairness. That's a little more complicated than that, obviously, 258 00:13:15.879 --> 00:13:18.799 but it's a basic reciprocity. 259 00:13:18.840 --> 00:13:22.840 It's that simple. It's very biblical. 260 00:13:23.039 --> 00:13:25.440 Do onto others as you would wish they would do 261 00:13:25.519 --> 00:13:26.039 onto you. 262 00:13:26.240 --> 00:13:28.240 Okay, you charge. 263 00:13:27.960 --> 00:13:30.600 Us twenty four percent tariffs, We're going to charge you 264 00:13:30.759 --> 00:13:32.320 twenty four percent tariffs. 265 00:13:33.200 --> 00:13:35.600 You're going to make it difficult. We're going to make 266 00:13:35.639 --> 00:13:36.200 it difficult. 267 00:13:36.960 --> 00:13:41.320 The problem is the United States is such a huge juggernaut. 268 00:13:41.679 --> 00:13:46.399 It buys so much from the industrialized world, even the 269 00:13:46.440 --> 00:13:47.639 non industrialized world. 270 00:13:47.639 --> 00:13:49.480 Actually, relatively speaking, it's even. 271 00:13:49.279 --> 00:13:54.559 More important to the undeveloped countries that for this to happen, 272 00:13:55.000 --> 00:13:58.840 royals the markets, and it has. 273 00:13:58.519 --> 00:13:59.080 And it does. 274 00:14:00.200 --> 00:14:03.759 We are looking at once again. If it pans out today, 275 00:14:03.840 --> 00:14:08.440 there'll be another huge sell off today, there will be 276 00:14:09.279 --> 00:14:12.320 another major decrease of the stock market. 277 00:14:12.360 --> 00:14:13.960 We think it's happened already. 278 00:14:14.039 --> 00:14:18.840 Overseas in Asia, the stock markets have just tanked. You've 279 00:14:18.879 --> 00:14:22.559 got Japan I went down like eight nine percent, Hong Kong, 280 00:14:23.159 --> 00:14:27.679 just all of the indexes. You've got Europe that's been 281 00:14:27.720 --> 00:14:31.399 affected deeply. I mean, this is a roller coaster ride 282 00:14:32.000 --> 00:14:35.200 in a way. I think what it does is augment 283 00:14:35.559 --> 00:14:38.679 the argument that the United States really is. 284 00:14:38.559 --> 00:14:41.840 The economic juggernaut, is the it is the. 285 00:14:43.480 --> 00:14:47.080 Not only just the movement, it is the engine of 286 00:14:47.120 --> 00:14:50.240 the economic world. And man, I've heard you've heard the 287 00:14:50.240 --> 00:14:54.039 phrase that when a president sneezes, the world catches a cold. 288 00:14:54.240 --> 00:14:56.440 Oh man, does this prove the point? 289 00:14:57.000 --> 00:14:58.320 And so what I want to do is come back 290 00:14:58.360 --> 00:15:01.679 a little bit and try to dive into this because 291 00:15:02.720 --> 00:15:09.919 in a major basic way, is Trump right in all fairness? 292 00:15:10.039 --> 00:15:16.159 Probably his position is, Hey, you know what, let's make 293 00:15:16.200 --> 00:15:17.279 it an open system. 294 00:15:17.960 --> 00:15:22.360 Let's be fair. Are tariffs and is the system now fair? 295 00:15:22.440 --> 00:15:22.840 It is not. 296 00:15:23.919 --> 00:15:27.639 It really isn't go to China and try to buy 297 00:15:27.679 --> 00:15:34.279 a Buick. Try to buy a Ford in China. Go 298 00:15:34.320 --> 00:15:37.919 to Europe. You don't see American cars there. See lots 299 00:15:37.919 --> 00:15:40.200 of Japanese cars. You see French cars, of course, you 300 00:15:40.240 --> 00:15:44.960 see German cars, you see Italian cars, and they slide 301 00:15:45.039 --> 00:15:46.799 right off the road for some reason that you just 302 00:15:46.960 --> 00:15:50.840 can't stay on the road. I never understood why. All right, 303 00:15:50.879 --> 00:15:53.360 we're going to come back, and I'm going to go. 304 00:15:53.519 --> 00:15:55.799 Thank you for laughing, Kno, no one else does in 305 00:15:55.840 --> 00:15:56.320 the morning. 306 00:15:56.759 --> 00:15:58.039 All right, where did I come back? 307 00:15:58.159 --> 00:16:03.399 Rees joke or something completely one hundred percent? 308 00:16:04.039 --> 00:16:07.679 I drove a hoogo and really. 309 00:16:07.600 --> 00:16:10.720 A poogo, and then we got we're gonna talk about 310 00:16:10.759 --> 00:16:14.960 measles coming up too.

We don't know at this point. We'll see 332 00:17:20.920 --> 00:17:22.160 if there's going to be a reverse. 333 00:17:22.640 --> 00:17:27.119 Even when the big crash happened, the Great Depression started, 334 00:17:27.400 --> 00:17:30.920 there was Black Tuesday, and then it came back again 335 00:17:31.559 --> 00:17:33.440 a day later, two days later, went up and then 336 00:17:33.480 --> 00:17:36.279 it tanked. So even within those so we'll see if 337 00:17:36.279 --> 00:17:38.720 this goes up again or this is just an initial call. 338 00:17:38.759 --> 00:17:39.559 I think it's not. 339 00:17:39.960 --> 00:17:41.759 But a lot of it has to do with the tariffs, 340 00:17:42.119 --> 00:17:45.160 which obviously I'm going to talk about a whole lot 341 00:17:45.240 --> 00:17:48.720 more about what's happening because it's not that complicated. 342 00:17:48.720 --> 00:17:50.279 But let's move on. There's other news. 343 00:17:52.799 --> 00:17:57.079 Forget about me too. Now there's hands off. Almost ten 344 00:17:57.119 --> 00:17:59.880 thousand protesters showed up at Pershing Square over the week, 345 00:18:00.000 --> 00:18:03.200 a marching through the streets of downtown LA. 346 00:18:04.039 --> 00:18:06.319 The crowd stretched across several blocks. 347 00:18:06.359 --> 00:18:09.839 It was part of nationwide hands off protests against the 348 00:18:09.839 --> 00:18:15.680 Trump administration's cuts in federal programs, mass layoffs, and terrifikes 349 00:18:15.720 --> 00:18:19.440 that have, as Bill just mentioned, sent financial markets reeling. 350 00:18:21.319 --> 00:18:23.720 Yeah, which is going on right now to say the least, 351 00:18:25.279 --> 00:18:30.559 All right, while things dive on Wall Street rivers rise, 352 00:18:30.799 --> 00:18:36.079 rivers are rising and flooding worsening just yesterday across the 353 00:18:36.319 --> 00:18:41.160 US South and Midwest, threatening communities that have already been 354 00:18:41.559 --> 00:18:46.200 smacked around and damaged by days and days of heavy rain. Also, 355 00:18:46.240 --> 00:18:49.960 the wind killed at least eighteen people. The river's depths 356 00:18:50.000 --> 00:18:54.720 have risen above forty seven feet in some areas, and 357 00:18:54.960 --> 00:18:56.759 they expect to continue to go up. 358 00:18:57.400 --> 00:19:01.160 How many once in a generation, once in a lifetime, 359 00:19:01.359 --> 00:19:02.880 once every thousand year. 360 00:19:03.119 --> 00:19:06.000 Storms have we had the last year. 361 00:19:07.599 --> 00:19:07.920 Twenty? 362 00:19:08.480 --> 00:19:13.000 Yeah, precisely. It's getting built dark. Yeah, I know it's 363 00:19:13.000 --> 00:19:16.400 getting really tough. It is getting very very tough with 364 00:19:17.039 --> 00:19:18.240 the climate change. 365 00:19:18.319 --> 00:19:21.720 Yeah, I know, it doesn't exist. It's gonna be a 366 00:19:21.799 --> 00:19:23.640 tough place to live this world. 367 00:19:24.240 --> 00:19:27.079 You know, I do not envy my kids or my 368 00:19:27.119 --> 00:19:30.200 grandkids in terms of what's going to happen with the weather. 369 00:19:31.759 --> 00:19:37.759 College kids kicked out so UCLA's chancellor, Julio Frank, said 370 00:19:37.839 --> 00:19:41.640 yesterday that six current students and six former students who 371 00:19:41.680 --> 00:19:45.359 are participating in a training program have had their visas 372 00:19:45.599 --> 00:19:49.960 terminated by the US government. UCLA is saying the termination 373 00:19:50.079 --> 00:19:53.240 notices indicate that all were due to violations of the 374 00:19:53.400 --> 00:19:58.359 terms of the individual's visa programs. President Trump did issue 375 00:19:58.480 --> 00:20:01.200 an executive order in January three to revoke visas of 376 00:20:01.240 --> 00:20:06.200 students who participated in pro Palestinian protests last spring. UCLA 377 00:20:06.480 --> 00:20:09.119 was the site of some of those demonstrations. Across the country, 378 00:20:09.119 --> 00:20:12.240 three hundred student visas have been terminated. 379 00:20:12.720 --> 00:20:13.680 Yeah, now these are. 380 00:20:13.519 --> 00:20:16.000 The small numbers, and we're talking about maybe what half 381 00:20:16.039 --> 00:20:19.000 a dozen that happened over the weekend or a dozen. 382 00:20:19.880 --> 00:20:24.519 It's a few dozen around California, Like, yeah, it's twelve Ucla, 383 00:20:24.599 --> 00:20:26.359 but then also some at Stanford and Berkeley. 384 00:20:26.440 --> 00:20:28.000 Yeah, so we're talking small numbers. 385 00:20:28.039 --> 00:20:30.799 But the important part is is that the schools have 386 00:20:30.880 --> 00:20:34.920 no idea why the government is sharing the reason why. 387 00:20:34.960 --> 00:20:37.519 It's just simply saying there was violation of the terms 388 00:20:37.759 --> 00:20:42.000 of their staying here, and it's just an ongoing philosophy. 389 00:20:42.000 --> 00:20:43.200 Also, keep in mind. 390 00:20:42.960 --> 00:20:46.880 That anybody who is pro Palestinian and I put that 391 00:20:46.920 --> 00:20:50.160 in quotes or backs up hamas you would think. Hey, 392 00:20:50.359 --> 00:20:52.240 first amendment, I mean, you have the right to talk 393 00:20:52.240 --> 00:20:54.799 about who you're a four or who you're against all 394 00:20:54.880 --> 00:20:58.559 day long. Well not if the government has declared a 395 00:20:58.599 --> 00:21:04.240 certain organization as they a terrorist organization, and therefore backing 396 00:21:04.319 --> 00:21:08.680 up that terrorist organization you are threat to national security. 397 00:21:09.200 --> 00:21:12.039 I mean this has gone pretty far, to say the least. 398 00:21:12.599 --> 00:21:14.200 Tell me this isn't going to be a court battle 399 00:21:14.319 --> 00:21:16.359 or two by the time this is over all. Right, 400 00:21:16.440 --> 00:21:19.160 let's do one more and then we will take a 401 00:21:19.160 --> 00:21:20.279
