WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.600 --> 00:00:02.919 This is Gary and Shannon and you're listening to KFI 2 00:00:03.080 --> 00:00:05.839 AM six forty the Gary and Shannon Show on demand 3 00:00:05.919 --> 00:00:12.560 on the iHeartRadio app. Live everywhere on the iHeartRadio App. 4 00:00:12.560 --> 00:00:15.480 It is Wednesday, March twelfth, twenty twenty five. 5 00:00:16.079 --> 00:00:19.120 Tariff Tuesday has turned into Wild Wednesday. 6 00:00:19.320 --> 00:00:21.160 Ooh, I like the branding. 7 00:00:21.760 --> 00:00:25.399 The roller coaster tariff issues that we've been sealing. Saw 8 00:00:25.440 --> 00:00:27.839 the President threaten to double duties on Canadian steel and 9 00:00:27.879 --> 00:00:30.879 aluminum to fifty percent. Ontario said that they're going to 10 00:00:30.879 --> 00:00:32.399 place a surcharge on electricity. 11 00:00:32.679 --> 00:00:35.560 They took that off. Trump took twenty five percent off. 12 00:00:35.799 --> 00:00:40.000 But the European Union is now talking about leveling tariffs 13 00:00:40.079 --> 00:00:42.640 on billions of dollars worth of products like bourbon and 14 00:00:42.679 --> 00:00:45.240 motorcycles and stuff like that from the United States that 15 00:00:45.320 --> 00:00:46.359 goes to Europe. 16 00:00:46.399 --> 00:00:51.159 So I would say new day, new details, but it's 17 00:00:51.280 --> 00:00:53.719 like new hour, new details when it comes to the 18 00:00:53.759 --> 00:00:57.359 tariffs and everyone's reaction to it, whether it is Washington, 19 00:00:57.399 --> 00:00:59.759 Wall Street or other countries. So we'll stay on top 20 00:00:59.799 --> 00:01:03.320 of that Department of Education being gutted. It looks like 21 00:01:03.320 --> 00:01:05.920 they're going to cut about half of it. I was 22 00:01:06.359 --> 00:01:09.120 a little bit surprised at how small, in my opinion, 23 00:01:09.120 --> 00:01:10.359 the Department of Education is. 24 00:01:10.599 --> 00:01:12.359 That's exactly what I was going to say. It's only 25 00:01:12.400 --> 00:01:15.439 about four thousand or plus employees. Yeah, I thought it 26 00:01:15.439 --> 00:01:17.879 would have been into the ten thousand ish, but yeah, 27 00:01:17.879 --> 00:01:20.159 about four thou I think they said four thy one 28 00:01:20.200 --> 00:01:23.799 hundred positions existed in the Department of Education the day 29 00:01:23.799 --> 00:01:27.319 that Trump was inaugurated, and that about sixteen hundred if 30 00:01:27.359 --> 00:01:30.560 not more, of those would be cut along with the 31 00:01:32.000 --> 00:01:36.560 education employees who had already taken the advanced retirement or 32 00:01:36.599 --> 00:01:38.680 had been you know, let go for whatever reason. 33 00:01:38.799 --> 00:01:42.840 So more importantly, we have a local national nightmare to address. 34 00:01:42.920 --> 00:01:46.760 Do we have any local national nightmare music? 35 00:01:47.359 --> 00:01:50.840 How about an LA band talking about the national nightmare 36 00:01:50.840 --> 00:01:51.480 that exists? 37 00:01:51.599 --> 00:01:53.239 Okay, so would this be? Okay? 38 00:01:53.719 --> 00:01:54.280 Who is this? 39 00:01:54.959 --> 00:01:58.079 I am ashamed of you and I shall not make 40 00:01:58.120 --> 00:02:00.000 eye contact with you for the rest of the day. 41 00:02:00.079 --> 00:02:01.079 What do you mean? Who is this? 42 00:02:02.280 --> 00:02:02.400 Uh? 43 00:02:03.079 --> 00:02:05.400 Is this not? Is this not from my generation? 44 00:02:07.200 --> 00:02:09.599 You could argue that it's not from your generation. But 45 00:02:09.639 --> 00:02:13.000 if you don't know this song, I'm machined Writers on 46 00:02:13.039 --> 00:02:15.280 the Storm. It is Writers on the Storm by. 47 00:02:15.280 --> 00:02:19.439 The guy who is really high all the time? 48 00:02:19.800 --> 00:02:22.080 Right, But he was in a band dead now he's dead, 49 00:02:22.280 --> 00:02:22.919 dead dead. 50 00:02:23.080 --> 00:02:24.719 He was in a band with Raymond Zeric. 51 00:02:25.000 --> 00:02:25.199 Yeah. 52 00:02:25.199 --> 00:02:27.080 I think he peed on a crowd at one point, 53 00:02:27.360 --> 00:02:31.719 keep going and may have electrocuted himself with the uriner separate, 54 00:02:31.840 --> 00:02:32.240 I don't know. 55 00:02:32.360 --> 00:02:34.919 Played by Val Kilmer, right in the. 56 00:02:34.879 --> 00:02:37.639 Movie Morrison, Jim Morrison, Jim. 57 00:02:37.439 --> 00:02:39.919 Morrison, and he's buried in France. And what do I 58 00:02:39.960 --> 00:02:42.199 know so much? The name of the band is. 59 00:02:42.439 --> 00:02:47.759 The Jim Morrison. Sorry, I'm having a brain fog. It's 60 00:02:47.879 --> 00:02:49.560 I have seasonal effective. 61 00:02:49.120 --> 00:02:50.599 Disorder, all right. 62 00:02:50.759 --> 00:02:55.400 Katla's Casey Montoya joins us. She is not just a meteorologist, 63 00:02:55.520 --> 00:02:57.960 not that it's just a meteorologist. That is a lot 64 00:02:58.000 --> 00:03:00.879 of education that you and I could not pomplished. Probably, 65 00:03:01.280 --> 00:03:03.479 not to be rude to you, I'm sure you could 66 00:03:03.479 --> 00:03:05.759 if you put your mind to it, but you haven't. 67 00:03:06.400 --> 00:03:09.719 But Casey is a reporter. She's a journalist. She's fantastic, 68 00:03:09.759 --> 00:03:12.560 she's award winning. And she joins us now because we 69 00:03:12.599 --> 00:03:15.000 love Kate's La and we love Casey, and she was 70 00:03:15.080 --> 00:03:17.360 kind enough to make some time for us. 71 00:03:17.800 --> 00:03:19.840 Casey, good morning, good morning. 72 00:03:21.560 --> 00:03:24.800 I'm great. I've been thoroughly entertained listening to you guys. 73 00:03:25.240 --> 00:03:29.400 Casey, do you know the name of the band The Okay, 74 00:03:29.439 --> 00:03:30.120 the Doors? 75 00:03:30.800 --> 00:03:34.039 You know it's because it's my boyfriend's favorite band. And 76 00:03:34.080 --> 00:03:35.560 if I don't know that, I would die, like he 77 00:03:35.599 --> 00:03:36.439 would probably kill me. 78 00:03:36.680 --> 00:03:40.080 Yeah, really love that. 79 00:03:42.599 --> 00:03:46.919 She did you tell Gary how we kind of met electronically? 80 00:03:47.199 --> 00:03:49.199 I did, and he was kind of creepy about it, 81 00:03:49.240 --> 00:03:50.840 to the point where I didn't know if I wanted 82 00:03:50.840 --> 00:03:52.479 to have you on the show because he was like 83 00:03:52.759 --> 00:03:55.360 she did, she she she listens to the show, and 84 00:03:55.520 --> 00:03:56.919 like she did. But you don't even need to calm 85 00:03:56.919 --> 00:03:58.800 it down before we get her on. I don't want 86 00:03:58.800 --> 00:04:00.159 you to embarrass me, is what I think. 87 00:04:00.199 --> 00:04:02.479 I said, Wait, Gary, what's wrong with that? 88 00:04:03.560 --> 00:04:06.879 It was great, It was very positive. It was just 89 00:04:06.919 --> 00:04:10.680 a nice surprise that people listen to the show I do. 90 00:04:10.800 --> 00:04:12.800 The crazy thing is so I lived in West Hollywood, 91 00:04:12.840 --> 00:04:15.120 like so close to work for years, and I moved 92 00:04:15.120 --> 00:04:17.199 to the South Bay last summer, so now I had 93 00:04:17.199 --> 00:04:19.360 a commute and I've been listening to you guys for 94 00:04:19.600 --> 00:04:22.639 like since August, and I never because I'm driving, I 95 00:04:22.680 --> 00:04:24.720 never take the time to think like, oh, I should 96 00:04:24.759 --> 00:04:26.600 look up and see you know, what they look like, 97 00:04:26.680 --> 00:04:29.199 and then just randomly, you guys pop up in my 98 00:04:29.279 --> 00:04:31.439 feet and I was like, oh my god, Shannon's hot, 99 00:04:31.519 --> 00:04:33.439 and so I started messaging her and I was like, 100 00:04:33.800 --> 00:04:36.399 it just makes sense why she knows about football now, 101 00:04:36.439 --> 00:04:39.079 and like our world's colliding, and so you probably think 102 00:04:39.079 --> 00:04:40.879 I'm weird, but that's how it happened. 103 00:04:40.839 --> 00:04:42.959 Not at all weird, And all the weirdness is on 104 00:04:43.000 --> 00:04:46.360 our side of the table. Okay, So who is Henry? 105 00:04:46.360 --> 00:04:48.639 I don't even know who Henry is anymore? Henry who 106 00:04:48.720 --> 00:04:49.240 I don't even know? 107 00:04:49.519 --> 00:04:50.560 Placco right. 108 00:04:52.720 --> 00:04:56.160 The best? So, Casey, what's. 109 00:04:55.319 --> 00:04:57.319 Going on with this storm? How long are we going 110 00:04:57.399 --> 00:04:59.759 to be living in this long local nightmare? 111 00:05:00.879 --> 00:05:03.519 So what's really concerning is tonight. And you know what's 112 00:05:03.560 --> 00:05:06.319 so frustrating is that people watch the news and it's 113 00:05:06.360 --> 00:05:09.360 almost like they put mute when I'm on because I 114 00:05:09.439 --> 00:05:12.439 get asked every day, like a dozen times, when's the 115 00:05:12.519 --> 00:05:14.240 rain coming. I'm like, did you watch the news? 116 00:05:14.240 --> 00:05:14.319 Oh? 117 00:05:14.399 --> 00:05:18.040 Yeah, I saw you, but no one pays attention. So tonight, well, 118 00:05:18.079 --> 00:05:20.959 I can't say no one. A lot of people starting tonight, 119 00:05:21.120 --> 00:05:23.639 like La County is going to start getting really heavy 120 00:05:23.720 --> 00:05:26.920 rains first, like maybe around midnight, possibly Ventura County a 121 00:05:26.920 --> 00:05:29.680 little sooner. We're getting like a direct hit from an 122 00:05:29.680 --> 00:05:33.399 atmospheric river, you know, the buzzword of the century, and 123 00:05:33.439 --> 00:05:36.240 it's going to bring a lot of moisture overnight into 124 00:05:36.279 --> 00:05:39.040 early Thursday morning. And what's so concerning is that this 125 00:05:39.199 --> 00:05:41.839 is going to be so heavy. If we get rainfall 126 00:05:41.920 --> 00:05:44.519 rates of three quarters of an echine hour, that's likely 127 00:05:44.560 --> 00:05:47.879 to produce flooding, not just for burnscar areas, but for 128 00:05:48.120 --> 00:05:51.040 you know, urban areas. So we think that that's likely 129 00:05:51.079 --> 00:05:53.600 going to happen in several spots. And look, the good 130 00:05:53.639 --> 00:05:55.560 news about this happening overnight is that we're not on 131 00:05:55.600 --> 00:05:58.040 the roads driving around like we would be at five pm. 132 00:05:58.160 --> 00:06:01.279 But it's it's probably going to cost them. The winds 133 00:06:01.279 --> 00:06:04.639 associated with it are likely going to cause some downtrees, 134 00:06:04.639 --> 00:06:07.279 maybe down power lines, and then things will start to 135 00:06:07.360 --> 00:06:09.920 lighten up by nine o'clock tomorrow morning. But then there's 136 00:06:09.920 --> 00:06:13.879 still a chance of seeing possibly heavy showers Thursday throughout 137 00:06:13.879 --> 00:06:16.279 the day, but nothing like what we're going to get overnight. 138 00:06:16.879 --> 00:06:19.720 We when we hit into the beginning of January, we 139 00:06:19.800 --> 00:06:23.160 started the year obviously the fires in Palisades in Altadena, 140 00:06:23.399 --> 00:06:26.720 there was a concern that we had what four tenths 141 00:06:26.759 --> 00:06:29.079 of an inch of rain throughout the entire season. We've 142 00:06:29.120 --> 00:06:31.519 made some good inroads on that, but where do we 143 00:06:31.560 --> 00:06:34.160 stand in terms of average rainfall so far? 144 00:06:34.759 --> 00:06:36.759 Yeah, I was just looking that up, like it's different 145 00:06:36.800 --> 00:06:40.160 for certain areas, but we're still several inches below where 146 00:06:40.199 --> 00:06:43.120 we should be. And you know, normally like northern California 147 00:06:43.160 --> 00:06:45.199 would be getting a lot of these storms. They're not 148 00:06:45.199 --> 00:06:47.279 getting any of this storm. So we like them to 149 00:06:47.279 --> 00:06:49.240 get rain because then we get snow on the mountains, 150 00:06:49.240 --> 00:06:51.720 which helps as well. But even though it feels like 151 00:06:51.759 --> 00:06:54.959 it's been raining so much lately, we're still several inches 152 00:06:55.040 --> 00:06:56.839 below where we should be for this time of year. 153 00:06:56.879 --> 00:06:59.240 And even with this series of storms right now, we're 154 00:06:59.240 --> 00:07:00.439 probably not going to cat. 155 00:07:01.639 --> 00:07:06.720 Kacey Montoya kt LA catch her every midday. 156 00:07:07.240 --> 00:07:09.160 I feel like the people in Majesica. 157 00:07:08.759 --> 00:07:10.839 Canyon, they're in Orange County, they just have to have 158 00:07:10.959 --> 00:07:14.439 like a constant evacuation bag at the front door. I 159 00:07:14.480 --> 00:07:17.040 feel like every time it rains, we're talking about them 160 00:07:17.079 --> 00:07:21.160 possibly being evacuated. And that's going back like five hundred years. 161 00:07:21.519 --> 00:07:23.639 It seems like they always get the reins. Maybe some 162 00:07:23.720 --> 00:07:26.439 of the burn areas, but that they're always under this 163 00:07:26.519 --> 00:07:28.079 evacuation warning. 164 00:07:29.680 --> 00:07:32.160 And those those are terrifying to be under. But look 165 00:07:32.160 --> 00:07:33.879 what we've learned. You know a lot of people have 166 00:07:33.959 --> 00:07:36.759 told me personally, you know, I never used to evacuate 167 00:07:36.800 --> 00:07:39.560 when I got a warning, and now they're evacuating before 168 00:07:39.600 --> 00:07:41.720 the warnings, like ahead of the storm. I know several 169 00:07:41.720 --> 00:07:44.160 people who went to go stay in a hotel. So 170 00:07:44.399 --> 00:07:47.399 people are starting to listen. We wish more people would 171 00:07:47.439 --> 00:07:49.839 have listened before the fires, if I'm being honest, But 172 00:07:50.079 --> 00:07:52.800 you know, we we're here to do a service to 173 00:07:52.879 --> 00:07:55.920 tell people what's what's coming. So you know how to prepare, 174 00:07:56.000 --> 00:07:58.879 because I always say, even on TV, just prepare for 175 00:07:58.920 --> 00:08:00.360 the worst and expect the best. 176 00:08:00.959 --> 00:08:03.639 Excellent stuff. Casey, thanks for taking time for us. 177 00:08:03.519 --> 00:08:07.399 Today, big fan.

I mean there's there's people around, 203 00:09:05.600 --> 00:09:07.480 but I don't know if there's a if it has 204 00:09:07.480 --> 00:09:11.360 tickled any of the you know, bring parts, I don't know. 205 00:09:13.240 --> 00:09:16.960 First of two storms to SoCal is gone. The next 206 00:09:16.960 --> 00:09:21.360 one rolls in tonight, as we saw with our friend Casey, 207 00:09:21.720 --> 00:09:24.639 a new friend, Casey Montoya from KTLA, just talking about 208 00:09:24.639 --> 00:09:26.440 about one to two inches of rain along the coast, 209 00:09:26.519 --> 00:09:30.360 maybe ups as much as four inches in the valleys. 210 00:09:30.360 --> 00:09:32.600 And if it does get that, if we're on that 211 00:09:32.720 --> 00:09:35.519 end of it, it's going to cause some localized flooding problems. 212 00:09:36.120 --> 00:09:39.799 There is a court date today for Mahmud Khalil. He 213 00:09:40.000 --> 00:09:45.879 is the Columbia University grad student or graduate who was 214 00:09:46.320 --> 00:09:50.279 picked up over the weekend. His green card was revoked. 215 00:09:50.279 --> 00:09:53.360 Secretary of State Marco Rubio said, even as a green 216 00:09:53.440 --> 00:09:56.200 card holder, you should not be able to engage in 217 00:09:56.240 --> 00:09:59.039 activities that would form a legal basis to exclude you 218 00:09:59.080 --> 00:10:01.120 from entering the kind of in the first place. And 219 00:10:01.480 --> 00:10:06.080 he was accused of fomenting and leading some of those 220 00:10:06.159 --> 00:10:09.720 pro Palestinian protests there at Columbia University. He's actually got 221 00:10:09.759 --> 00:10:12.200 a court hearing today, so we'll see how that goes. 222 00:10:12.840 --> 00:10:16.559 Okay, Well, we have some reaction to the tariffs. The 223 00:10:16.679 --> 00:10:23.120 European Union today announcing retaliatory trade action with new duties 224 00:10:23.320 --> 00:10:26.360 on US industrial and farm products. 225 00:10:27.159 --> 00:10:29.559 This is a response, are you going to laugh every 226 00:10:29.639 --> 00:10:30.559 time I say duty? 227 00:10:31.399 --> 00:10:31.879 Probably? 228 00:10:32.039 --> 00:10:33.919 Do you laugh every time you're in the airport and 229 00:10:33.960 --> 00:10:37.200 you walk by the duty free store? Do you say, 230 00:10:37.240 --> 00:10:40.200 as you're walking by, it ain't duty free? Right now, 231 00:10:41.120 --> 00:10:45.240 I'm I'm about to go make a duty myself. Do 232 00:10:45.279 --> 00:10:46.279 you do that tax? 233 00:10:46.519 --> 00:10:47.919 Get it all out of your system? 234 00:10:48.039 --> 00:10:48.519 Yes? 235 00:10:48.720 --> 00:10:49.120 Okay? 236 00:10:49.639 --> 00:10:52.559 Anyway, This is a response within hours to the Trump's 237 00:10:52.720 --> 00:10:56.559 increase in tariffs on steel and aluminum imports to twenty 238 00:10:56.679 --> 00:11:04.799 five percent. We are talking about goods from the US 239 00:11:04.919 --> 00:11:09.679 worth around twenty six billion euros. Not just steel and aluminum, 240 00:11:09.679 --> 00:11:14.720 but textiles, home impliances, ad goods, motorcycles, bourbon, peanut, butter, 241 00:11:14.799 --> 00:11:16.320 and jeans will also be hit. 242 00:11:17.240 --> 00:11:21.919 The French are very concerned about the cosmetics industry. They 243 00:11:22.000 --> 00:11:25.679 said that France imports about two hundred million euros a 244 00:11:25.720 --> 00:11:29.240 little more than two hundred million dollars worth of American 245 00:11:29.279 --> 00:11:33.039 makeup every year, but ex sports about ten times that 246 00:11:33.120 --> 00:11:38.639 amount in the other direction. The head of the cosmetics 247 00:11:38.679 --> 00:11:43.159 industry association in France says, we are entering a trade 248 00:11:43.200 --> 00:11:45.799 war that we do not want to be a part of. 249 00:11:47.080 --> 00:11:49.720 I think you're going to see that kind of sentiment 250 00:11:50.559 --> 00:11:53.559 in a lot of different industries. France and Spain and 251 00:11:53.720 --> 00:11:58.360 Italy have all requested that European Commission exclude wine and 252 00:11:58.480 --> 00:11:59.519 spirits from the. 253 00:11:59.440 --> 00:12:01.720 List of US goods that are targeted with tariffs. 254 00:12:03.399 --> 00:12:05.679 So they're trying to carve out sort of things that 255 00:12:05.759 --> 00:12:14.279 would be safer for them these individual individual I don't 256 00:12:14.320 --> 00:12:18.440 know portions of industry. Now this is not being received well. 257 00:12:18.639 --> 00:12:20.799 Wall Street. We've seen over the last couple of days 258 00:12:20.799 --> 00:12:24.480 in negative territory. This morning that now actually started in 259 00:12:24.559 --> 00:12:27.559 positive territory because we got actually we got some good 260 00:12:27.600 --> 00:12:29.360 news that inflation had slowed. 261 00:12:29.440 --> 00:12:30.320 In February. 262 00:12:30.759 --> 00:12:34.440 The Consumer Price Index measures price increases around the most 263 00:12:34.440 --> 00:12:37.639 commonly purchased goods, showed about a two point eight percent 264 00:12:37.799 --> 00:12:42.519 rise in overall prices in the economy, slowing down compared 265 00:12:42.559 --> 00:12:44.000 to what we saw in January. 266 00:12:44.000 --> 00:12:46.480 So that's good. That caused things to go positive. 267 00:12:46.879 --> 00:12:48.799 But then you turn the corner and you realize that 268 00:12:48.879 --> 00:12:50.639 we don't know how the day is going to end 269 00:12:50.639 --> 00:12:54.320 when it comes to these tariff things. C NBC Steve 270 00:12:54.399 --> 00:12:57.120 Leisman said, this is insanity. 271 00:12:57.200 --> 00:12:59.320 Everyone's trying to add this up to say the math 272 00:12:59.440 --> 00:13:02.120 doesn't make sense here to have all of these things 273 00:13:02.159 --> 00:13:03.159 happening at the same time. 274 00:13:03.240 --> 00:13:05.279 I'm going to say this at risk of my job, Kelly, 275 00:13:05.279 --> 00:13:08.240 but what President Trump is doing is insane. It is 276 00:13:08.360 --> 00:13:12.240 absolutely insane. It is about the eighth reason we've had 277 00:13:12.320 --> 00:13:15.039 for the tariffs. And now he's saying he's putting fifty 278 00:13:15.039 --> 00:13:18.320 percent tariffs on Canada unless they agree to become the 279 00:13:18.320 --> 00:13:19.320 fifty first state. 280 00:13:19.480 --> 00:13:23.080 Now again, that fifty percent was brought back to twenty 281 00:13:23.080 --> 00:13:23.759 five percent. 282 00:13:24.000 --> 00:13:26.879 It seems like the president has an endgame where he 283 00:13:27.279 --> 00:13:30.080 does want the best for America in the long run, 284 00:13:30.200 --> 00:13:33.080 in terms of why aren't we making this stuff here? 285 00:13:33.480 --> 00:13:35.559 Why aren't we looking out for us? Number One? 286 00:13:36.240 --> 00:13:40.279 He told CEOs in that business roundtable yesterday that we 287 00:13:40.360 --> 00:13:43.600 talked about that the tariffs are causing companies to invest 288 00:13:43.600 --> 00:13:47.240 in US factories. The problem that some are arguing with 289 00:13:47.279 --> 00:13:50.879 that is that it costs more, obviously to make things 290 00:13:50.960 --> 00:13:55.600 here as opposed to importing it from other countries. The 291 00:13:55.639 --> 00:13:57.840 eight percent drop and the S and P five hundred 292 00:13:57.919 --> 00:14:01.480 stock index over the past month on fears of deteriorating 293 00:14:01.600 --> 00:14:07.000 growth that did not dissuade him at all. He argued 294 00:14:07.080 --> 00:14:10.039 yesterday that higher tariff rates would be more effective at 295 00:14:10.519 --> 00:14:14.240 bringing back factories to the US. Here's the quote from 296 00:14:14.360 --> 00:14:17.120 the Trump himself. He said, the higher it goes, the 297 00:14:17.200 --> 00:14:20.240 more likely it is they're going to build. The biggest 298 00:14:20.279 --> 00:14:24.039 win is if they move into our country and produce jobs. 299 00:14:24.360 --> 00:14:27.159 He says, that's a bigger win than the tariffs themselves. 300 00:14:27.639 --> 00:14:29.440 But the tariffs are going to be throwing off a 301 00:14:29.480 --> 00:14:33.919 lot of money to this country, I mean, and that's 302 00:14:33.960 --> 00:14:37.320 a long endgame. That's an endgame when he has left office. 303 00:14:37.519 --> 00:14:40.120 That's an endgame, when the damage has been done, the 304 00:14:40.159 --> 00:14:43.000 detritus is on the floor, and everyone hates Trump for 305 00:14:43.039 --> 00:14:45.679 a number of years till you And that's assuming that 306 00:14:45.720 --> 00:14:48.240 other administrations will follow suits exactly. 307 00:14:48.679 --> 00:14:52.320 And there's no guarantee, I mean, just based on our 308 00:14:52.320 --> 00:14:56.480 political system, there's no guarantee that even a Republican president 309 00:14:57.000 --> 00:14:59.279 that would be elected in twenty twenty eight would continue 310 00:14:59.320 --> 00:15:00.480 the same policy. 311 00:15:00.639 --> 00:15:00.840 Right. 312 00:15:00.879 --> 00:15:04.000 And it's interesting to me because Trump hates to be unpopular. 313 00:15:05.240 --> 00:15:08.120 I mean, you saw it when he addressed Congress. You 314 00:15:08.159 --> 00:15:11.519 can tell it bothers him that half of those chambers 315 00:15:11.559 --> 00:15:14.120 did not stand for him, did not clap for him, 316 00:15:14.159 --> 00:15:16.320 did not do anything, did not even give him the 317 00:15:16.360 --> 00:15:16.799 time of day. 318 00:15:16.840 --> 00:15:17.679 You could tell it. 319 00:15:17.679 --> 00:15:19.879 It sticks in his craw that people don't like him, 320 00:15:19.919 --> 00:15:22.960 even if they are Democrats, even if they are the 321 00:15:23.320 --> 00:15:27.919 people that think he is the monster. So the fact 322 00:15:27.919 --> 00:15:30.240 that he would be doing something that is going to 323 00:15:30.240 --> 00:15:34.039 be widely unpopular once the dust settles is odd to me. 324 00:15:34.960 --> 00:15:37.519 There is something We've mentioned this multiple times in the 325 00:15:37.559 --> 00:15:44.039 last couple of days. The Wall Street thrives on known outcomes. 326 00:15:44.440 --> 00:15:49.039 It thrives on consistency, and when it's volatile like this, 327 00:15:49.240 --> 00:15:51.519 that's when it's most dangerous for people who are in 328 00:15:51.559 --> 00:15:56.360 the stock market. They call this the Cebo Volatility Index, 329 00:15:56.440 --> 00:15:59.159 known as the VICS, is what they refer to as 330 00:15:59.200 --> 00:16:01.879 the fear game, and they said it has surged over 331 00:16:02.000 --> 00:16:05.320 sixty percent so far this year to trade above twenty 332 00:16:05.360 --> 00:16:07.840 seven point three earlier this week. They said it's a 333 00:16:07.879 --> 00:16:11.840 statistically unusual level. And if we continue at this pace, 334 00:16:11.919 --> 00:16:16.000 if we continue with all of this volatility, it erodes 335 00:16:16.080 --> 00:16:19.559 the confidence that people have in stocks, and that's not. 336 00:16:19.559 --> 00:16:21.440 Good for in the long term. 337 00:16:21.440 --> 00:16:22.159 You shouldn't say. 338 00:16:22.039 --> 00:16:24.799 It's not good for everybody, because not everybody's in the 339 00:16:24.799 --> 00:16:28.159 stock market, But if you've got a four oh one K, 340 00:16:28.240 --> 00:16:30.360 you're in it. If you have these other investments, you're 341 00:16:30.360 --> 00:16:30.759 in it. 342 00:16:30.799 --> 00:16:31.720 So bless your heart. 343 00:16:31.799 --> 00:16:34.279 Potentially bad and bless your heart if you and I 344 00:16:34.279 --> 00:16:36.639 don't mean to be condescending, I mean truly bless your 345 00:16:36.679 --> 00:16:38.159 heart if you're one of the people that checks your 346 00:16:38.159 --> 00:16:40.679 four oh one K all the time, because that. 347 00:16:40.639 --> 00:16:42.799 Thing, you can't live or die with a day to 348 00:16:42.840 --> 00:16:44.080 day on the four oh one k. 349 00:16:44.279 --> 00:16:48.039 It's too much. It's like it's It's like gambling. You 350 00:16:48.480 --> 00:16:50.159 got to know you're not going to win that big 351 00:16:50.240 --> 00:16:53.080 first hand right away. You got to play for a 352 00:16:53.120 --> 00:16:55.799 long time and somebody had a problem. 353 00:16:56.360 --> 00:16:58.799 Why, Like, somebody's got a little bit of an addiction 354 00:16:58.879 --> 00:16:59.600 they're working through. 355 00:17:00.000 --> 00:17:03.440 Even then, the numbers are always in the house's favor. 356 00:17:03.559 --> 00:17:03.960 That's true. 357 00:17:04.079 --> 00:17:06.680 The longer you play, the less likely you are. 358 00:17:06.640 --> 00:17:10.079 To have one chance that I checked that for one case, there's. 359 00:17:10.039 --> 00:17:13.400 Just one chance that I hit that number. Thirty two 360 00:17:13.519 --> 00:17:14.680 on roulette. 361 00:17:14.240 --> 00:17:16.440 That's what I always bet on. How did you know that. 362 00:17:16.440 --> 00:17:19.960 I've been there with you? Oh, I didn't know. That's 363 00:17:20.000 --> 00:17:20.519 a wild guest. 364 00:17:21.039 --> 00:17:24.000 I mean, really that's my number, Like, that's my number, 365 00:17:24.039 --> 00:17:26.039 and I don't just bet one. I bet like five 366 00:17:26.200 --> 00:17:31.839 thirty two. Why thirty two?
