Keana, by the way, is officially our producer. 5 00:00:13.320 --> 00:00:16.120 Somebody sent an email, so there has been an email. 6 00:00:16.199 --> 00:00:17.440 She's officially a producer. 7 00:00:18.640 --> 00:00:22.760 And it's wonderful and it's it's it's just outstanding. I 8 00:00:22.879 --> 00:00:26.719 just she I trust her implicitly, and she does a 9 00:00:26.719 --> 00:00:32.920 great job. And also the office smells incredible, doesn't it. 10 00:00:32.960 --> 00:00:36.079 The office smells so good. And it's not just because 11 00:00:36.159 --> 00:00:39.799 it's the first woman, after the series of dudes that 12 00:00:39.840 --> 00:00:44.399 we've had producing this show. All have been excellent producers, 13 00:00:44.439 --> 00:00:49.600 extremely smart and creative and wonderful, but she smells better 14 00:00:49.880 --> 00:00:52.920 than all of them. And I would also like to 15 00:00:52.920 --> 00:00:56.520 say Oscar has taken on a new office, right and 16 00:00:56.560 --> 00:00:59.320 I walk by there today and my god, it smells 17 00:00:59.359 --> 00:01:03.000 great in there, and I'm like, I've never had two 18 00:01:03.039 --> 00:01:06.280 places at one radio station in twenty six years. 19 00:01:06.799 --> 00:01:08.400 That smells so good. 20 00:01:08.519 --> 00:01:10.719 I think we're turning a corner as a radio people 21 00:01:11.000 --> 00:01:14.159 in this building. I think we're starting something here. Oh no, 22 00:01:14.439 --> 00:01:16.359 it's smelling good. 23 00:01:16.640 --> 00:01:17.120 Think of it. 24 00:01:17.200 --> 00:01:20.640 Think of your experience in radio, right, can you count 25 00:01:21.120 --> 00:01:24.680 instances when you've walked into a radio space, a studio, 26 00:01:24.879 --> 00:01:29.200 a newsroom, a pit, anything and it's smelling good? 27 00:01:29.400 --> 00:01:32.920 Ellen Cass the only place I can remember, because it 28 00:01:32.959 --> 00:01:36.480 smells like maple syrup and the inside of a. 29 00:01:37.079 --> 00:01:44.120 Confectory, confectory, confectionery. It's a confectory. Probably an injury of 30 00:01:44.120 --> 00:01:47.599 some kind. I think I have a confectory on my shoulder. 31 00:01:50.040 --> 00:01:52.519 But yeah, I mean it was Ellen K's studio. 32 00:01:52.680 --> 00:01:54.799 And then that one time when you brought the yogurt 33 00:01:54.879 --> 00:01:57.000 with the honey and the brown sugar. Oh, maple and 34 00:01:57.000 --> 00:01:59.560 brown sugar, maple and brown sugar, and Ken lost his mind. 35 00:01:59.760 --> 00:02:02.040 He walked in here, like, what's that smell? It smells 36 00:02:02.040 --> 00:02:05.879 like sugar. Because he's used to the bad smells for 37 00:02:06.040 --> 00:02:08.960 longer than we were. He doesn't like it. It's off 38 00:02:09.000 --> 00:02:12.080 putting to him. Well, guess what. We're ushering in a 39 00:02:12.120 --> 00:02:12.520 new era. 40 00:02:12.680 --> 00:02:19.360 And I had a restaurant what do we call it 41 00:02:19.960 --> 00:02:23.439 a restaurant in moment on Saturday night? 42 00:02:23.960 --> 00:02:25.639 Is that's the word you were looking for a moment? 43 00:02:25.800 --> 00:02:28.639 No, but that's what I'll go for experience, That's what 44 00:02:28.759 --> 00:02:30.199 I was going for at a restaurant. I felt like 45 00:02:30.199 --> 00:02:32.080 you were going to say emulsion at one point. No, 46 00:02:32.479 --> 00:02:35.479 I it was a I know there's multiple of them. 47 00:02:35.639 --> 00:02:40.159 It's called Taste all X. It's like Donald Trump made 48 00:02:40.159 --> 00:02:42.599 the name. It's all caps with an exclamation point. Taste 49 00:02:43.520 --> 00:02:45.800 some sort of small eatering. This was up in wine 50 00:02:45.800 --> 00:02:47.280 contract and past robles. 51 00:02:47.879 --> 00:02:50.520 It was amazing. What did you have? 52 00:02:51.000 --> 00:02:54.000 Just a slider? I had just a slider. That what 53 00:02:54.280 --> 00:02:57.879 one slid, little baby slider. It had a sound on 54 00:02:57.960 --> 00:03:01.360 the side, and then mac and cheese with smoked Gouda 55 00:03:01.439 --> 00:03:04.199 and bacon. I feel like they're all been there, little 56 00:03:04.240 --> 00:03:08.560 bite size, little bite sized portions of it. 57 00:03:08.639 --> 00:03:11.080 I love bite sized portions of anything because then you can, 58 00:03:11.879 --> 00:03:14.639 you know, you can taste everything. Get it, taste taste, 59 00:03:16.120 --> 00:03:17.639 Oh exclamation point. 60 00:03:18.319 --> 00:03:20.080 If you haven't been there, you should go there. 61 00:03:20.080 --> 00:03:22.120 I've we've been there, and we did the taste of 62 00:03:22.520 --> 00:03:24.319 the mac and cheese where you try like three different 63 00:03:24.400 --> 00:03:25.240 kinds of mac and cheese. 64 00:03:25.840 --> 00:03:29.639 Oh, it was delicious. It's right there on the on 65 00:03:29.680 --> 00:03:33.360 the town square. Yes, yeah, right on the park. Yes. 66 00:03:34.520 --> 00:03:37.400 It was really really great. That's all that was my 67 00:03:37.879 --> 00:03:39.039 What was on the slider? 68 00:03:40.199 --> 00:03:44.080 I can't remember which one I got. It was just 69 00:03:44.439 --> 00:03:48.400 the provolone. I think was the cheese maybe that was 70 00:03:48.400 --> 00:03:49.560 Was there mushrooms involved? 71 00:03:49.560 --> 00:03:52.520 No, you're not a mushroom person, red onions? 72 00:03:52.639 --> 00:03:56.080 Yeah, it was just sootle. 73 00:03:56.199 --> 00:04:00.560 I love a slider man. I almost said a bad ye. 74 00:04:01.000 --> 00:04:01.840 I was real close. 75 00:04:01.919 --> 00:04:04.199 And then I had a moment yesterday on the freeway 76 00:04:04.319 --> 00:04:07.639 where I didn't know what to do. I'm pretty confident 77 00:04:08.479 --> 00:04:11.280 I've been doing this drive thing for many years now, 78 00:04:11.840 --> 00:04:14.199 and I saw something I had never seen before. As 79 00:04:14.240 --> 00:04:17.160 you drive through, you know, they call it Bakersfield, but 80 00:04:17.199 --> 00:04:19.319 Bakersfield's way to your east. 81 00:04:19.439 --> 00:04:21.040 It wasn't a woman driving, was it. 82 00:04:21.199 --> 00:04:21.519 No? 83 00:04:21.519 --> 00:04:26.439 No, no, no, okay, sorry, I'm sorry. But there was 84 00:04:26.480 --> 00:04:29.480 an accident in the median. Traffic going northbound on I 85 00:04:29.560 --> 00:04:32.120 five was kind of slowed down, and as my wife 86 00:04:32.160 --> 00:04:33.959 and I kind of slowed down to pass it, everybody 87 00:04:34.000 --> 00:04:35.279 slowed down to look and see what happened. 88 00:04:35.279 --> 00:04:36.959 A car had overturned. They were taking care of it. 89 00:04:37.720 --> 00:04:40.319 But we get a little bit farther and there were 90 00:04:40.639 --> 00:04:43.319 I don't know three four hundred head of sheep in 91 00:04:43.399 --> 00:04:46.639 the field off to our west. Hell yeah, and the 92 00:04:46.680 --> 00:04:51.399 fence had come down and they started spilling onto the roadway. Now, 93 00:04:52.120 --> 00:04:54.639 I mean we got there just as it started happening. 94 00:04:54.639 --> 00:04:58.240 There were maybe ten twelve sheep that were on the 95 00:04:58.319 --> 00:05:00.959 right shoulder, but they were looking like they were going 96 00:05:01.040 --> 00:05:04.279 to cross across I five and I didn't know what 97 00:05:04.360 --> 00:05:07.639 to do do I I mean, I'm they weren't impeding 98 00:05:07.680 --> 00:05:09.839 traffic yet, so we sped by him at eighty miles 99 00:05:09.879 --> 00:05:13.360 an hour. But should I have called the CHP and said, hey, 100 00:05:13.480 --> 00:05:16.040 just so you know that I don't know where I was. 101 00:05:16.120 --> 00:05:17.720 That would have been the worst part. They're like, well 102 00:05:17.720 --> 00:05:21.240 where are you? And I go somewhere between now lost 103 00:05:21.319 --> 00:05:22.560 hills in the Grapevine. 104 00:05:22.639 --> 00:05:25.000 Once the sheep are out, it's hard to wrangle them. 105 00:05:25.240 --> 00:05:28.639 I remember one time driving in rural Ireland and the 106 00:05:28.720 --> 00:05:31.240 sheep had gotten out onto the road and there was 107 00:05:31.279 --> 00:05:34.279 an old Irish sheep herder that happened to be there, 108 00:05:34.680 --> 00:05:37.079 and we asked him directions and the brogue was so 109 00:05:37.160 --> 00:05:39.000 thick we had no idea and he had no idea 110 00:05:39.040 --> 00:05:39.959 that he made. 111 00:05:39.759 --> 00:05:41.079 No sense to us. 112 00:05:41.360 --> 00:05:44.839 But you know, but I said something to the man 113 00:05:45.360 --> 00:05:47.839 like I hope you're good luck with the sheep, and 114 00:05:47.959 --> 00:05:50.199 he gestured like the sheep are going to do what 115 00:05:50.240 --> 00:05:51.240 the sheep are going to do. 116 00:05:51.680 --> 00:05:54.240 I get paid whether they're hurt it or not. Exactly 117 00:05:54.279 --> 00:05:54.720 the sheep. 118 00:05:55.120 --> 00:05:57.839 I am only one man. I am what but one man? 119 00:05:58.160 --> 00:05:59.959 And this is a herd of sheep and they broke 120 00:06:00.160 --> 00:06:02.240 through the fence. And this is probably going to be 121 00:06:02.279 --> 00:06:05.120 like a four hour situation. It's not something that can 122 00:06:05.160 --> 00:06:07.560 be cleaned up right away. Certainly the CHP isn't going 123 00:06:07.600 --> 00:06:09.000 to respond and wrangle them sheep. 124 00:06:09.040 --> 00:06:10.920 Well, and they were busy with the accident, so it's 125 00:06:10.920 --> 00:06:12.160 not like they were going to be like, oh, you 126 00:06:12.199 --> 00:06:14.959 know what, stay in the car upside down. I got 127 00:06:14.959 --> 00:06:16.800 to go get some sheep and push them back through 128 00:06:16.800 --> 00:06:17.160 the fence. 129 00:06:17.240 --> 00:06:17.319 Right. 130 00:06:17.519 --> 00:06:21.240 Good for those sheep living their lives. In other animal news, 131 00:06:21.399 --> 00:06:24.720 I watched groundhog Day with Bill Murray, the old movie 132 00:06:24.800 --> 00:06:25.360 last night. 133 00:06:25.439 --> 00:06:26.839 Well, welcome to nineteen eighty five. 134 00:06:27.199 --> 00:06:29.399 Well, you know, I hadn't seen it in years, and 135 00:06:29.439 --> 00:06:31.480 it was I think in the early nineties. I don't 136 00:06:31.519 --> 00:06:33.480 think it was eighty five. I want to say there 137 00:06:33.560 --> 00:06:36.800 was a strong case for ninety two. Ish, Okay, anyway, 138 00:06:38.639 --> 00:06:43.040 it holds up ninety three, so I was closer. It 139 00:06:43.120 --> 00:06:46.759 holds up, and you know what, the whole message behind 140 00:06:46.759 --> 00:06:48.839 groundhog Day is and it dawned on me for the 141 00:06:48.839 --> 00:06:52.480 first time ever. Is It's kind of like the definition 142 00:06:52.519 --> 00:06:55.439 of definition of insanity, like hitting your head against the 143 00:06:55.480 --> 00:06:57.920 wall from doing the same things every day and seeing 144 00:06:57.959 --> 00:07:00.959 the same results and not understanding why. And then when 145 00:07:01.000 --> 00:07:03.279 you start to change what you're doing and like, I 146 00:07:03.279 --> 00:07:06.360 don't know, be nice to people, things turn out for you. 147 00:07:06.480 --> 00:07:08.079 Is this what you do when football's over? 148 00:07:08.839 --> 00:07:11.199 I know it's very troubling for many people that are 149 00:07:11.240 --> 00:07:15.680 close to me. Look out, don't worry. In August, the 150 00:07:15.720 --> 00:07:18.279 world will write it side on it right itself on 151 00:07:18.319 --> 00:07:19.160 the right axis. 152 00:07:19.279 --> 00:07:22.879 That's eight months away. Until then, it's kinder and gentler. 153 00:07:22.959 --> 00:07:23.319 All right. 154 00:07:23.959 --> 00:07:27.040 The big deal this happened just before the show started. 155 00:07:27.079 --> 00:07:31.720 President Trump and Mexican President Claudia shinebaumb have said that 156 00:07:31.759 --> 00:07:35.279 whatever tariffs were supposed to start against Mexico will be 157 00:07:35.439 --> 00:07:38.839 paused for a month. We'll explain what that is, why 158 00:07:38.879 --> 00:07:43.160 that is, and how sketchy the stock market is as 159 00:07:43.199 --> 00:07:43.800 a results of this. 160 00:07:43.920 --> 00:07:44.319 Terrify. 161 00:07:44.600 --> 00:07:47.680 Does it make me a super racist or just a racist? 162 00:07:47.759 --> 00:07:52.120 Every time you hear Claudia shinebomb and go Mexico shinebom? 163 00:07:52.160 --> 00:07:55.480 What yes? Okay? 164 00:07:55.480 --> 00:07:57.959 Wait, so which one super racist or just racist. I'm 165 00:07:57.959 --> 00:08:01.040 just going to say, yes, okay, also sexist. 166 00:08:01.560 --> 00:08:05.040 It's sexist because a woman can't lead a country. 167 00:08:05.120 --> 00:08:08.680 Well, that's what you're saying. You're the one. I'm just 168 00:08:08.920 --> 00:08:09.879 I'm pointing it out. 169 00:08:10.000 --> 00:08:11.920 You and I together have all the boxes check. 170 00:08:12.040 --> 00:08:12.279 Yes. 171 00:08:12.360 --> 00:08:15.160 Yes, we'll talk a little bit about the Grammys last night. 172 00:08:15.240 --> 00:08:18.560 Holy crap. I'm so tired of Taylor Swift. I have 173 00:08:18.720 --> 00:08:21.720 nothing against her. There's nothing like she's She's made and 174 00:08:21.759 --> 00:08:22.439 she's talented. 175 00:08:22.519 --> 00:08:25.519 It's like Patrick, I'm just tired of them. I think 176 00:08:25.560 --> 00:08:27.839 they're great at what they do. I'm just ready for 177 00:08:27.839 --> 00:08:29.160 someone else to have the spotlight. 178 00:08:29.360 --> 00:08:32.080 Just stop putting a camera in her face every single 179 00:08:32.159 --> 00:08:33.919 time so she can do that big open mouth. 180 00:08:34.039 --> 00:08:39.360 Oh performing they're making they're making you hate her and 181 00:08:39.399 --> 00:08:40.679 you don't hate I don't. I know. 182 00:08:41.519 --> 00:08:43.279 Oversaturation. It's not good. 183 00:08:43.320 --> 00:08:45.080 A little bit later in this hour, we're going to 184 00:08:45.159 --> 00:08:49.200 talk more about the plane crash as from the last week. 185 00:08:49.240 --> 00:08:51.559 Of course, the American Airlines flight that collide with that 186 00:08:51.679 --> 00:08:55.600 Army black Hawk helicopter over the Potomac, but also the 187 00:08:55.679 --> 00:08:58.279 story of the medical transport plane that crashed in a 188 00:08:58.320 --> 00:09:02.200 neighborhood in Philly. Seven people were killed, and that includes 189 00:09:02.240 --> 00:09:05.840 one person sitting in a car on the ground. The 190 00:09:05.919 --> 00:09:08.559 debris from the crash actually killed them. It was an 191 00:09:08.600 --> 00:09:12.080 eleven year old girl and her mom on the plane. 192 00:09:12.600 --> 00:09:15.320 She had just received life saving treatment at a children's 193 00:09:15.360 --> 00:09:18.240 hospital there in Philly and the plane was beginning its 194 00:09:18.279 --> 00:09:22.879 long trip back to Tijuana, Mexico. PCH has reopened with 195 00:09:22.919 --> 00:09:25.440 some limitations after it was shut down for several weeks because 196 00:09:25.519 --> 00:09:30.080 the Palisades fire, and there was some confusion over the weekend. Listen, 197 00:09:30.879 --> 00:09:33.279 one of the worst things you can do if you're 198 00:09:33.279 --> 00:09:37.240 in government right now is give people mixed messages or 199 00:09:37.279 --> 00:09:40.279 incomplete thoughts when it comes to what's going on in 200 00:09:40.320 --> 00:09:44.279 the recovery effort. PCH is open one lane each direction 201 00:09:44.399 --> 00:09:48.120 right now at reduced speeds. They're encouraging local traffic only 202 00:09:48.159 --> 00:09:50.159 they don't need a bunch of lookie lose there. But 203 00:09:50.240 --> 00:09:53.720 all of this after a quick turn around from Mayor 204 00:09:53.799 --> 00:09:55.759 Karen Bass about what was going to be open, who 205 00:09:55.799 --> 00:09:57.840 was going to be staffing checkpoints and all that sort 206 00:09:57.840 --> 00:09:59.960 of stuff, and rain more rain coming this way. 207 00:10:00.279 --> 00:10:04.399 Well, the Canadians have learned how to boo finally, and 208 00:10:05.000 --> 00:10:09.600 Mexico seems to be moving when it comes to Trump's 209 00:10:09.679 --> 00:10:14.399 threats of tariffs threats no more. The breaking news this 210 00:10:14.519 --> 00:10:19.240 morning is that the Trump administration agreed to pause tariffs 211 00:10:19.279 --> 00:10:22.080 on Mexico for a month while the two sides hammer 212 00:10:22.159 --> 00:10:25.200 out a deal. The president down there, Claudia Shinbaum, said 213 00:10:25.519 --> 00:10:27.159 that they're going to send a bunch of troops to 214 00:10:27.200 --> 00:10:29.279 the border try to block the flow of drugs into 215 00:10:29.279 --> 00:10:31.360 the US, and that was enough for the President to say, 216 00:10:31.360 --> 00:10:33.879 all right, then we'll pump the brakes. About ten thousand 217 00:10:33.919 --> 00:10:36.600 National Guard troops have been promised to be sent to 218 00:10:36.879 --> 00:10:38.279 the board order. 219 00:10:38.480 --> 00:10:42.559 CNBC's Megan Cassella was talking about this issue just last 220 00:10:42.600 --> 00:10:45.320 hour when we were all learning about the new pause 221 00:10:45.440 --> 00:10:46.799 in the tariffs against Mexico. 222 00:10:46.840 --> 00:10:47.559 At least one. 223 00:10:47.440 --> 00:10:49.559 Third of this trade where at least appears to be 224 00:10:49.639 --> 00:10:52.120 on pause at least for a month. That news came 225 00:10:52.240 --> 00:10:54.960 out of Mexico first, with President Claudia Shinbaum saying she 226 00:10:54.960 --> 00:10:57.720 had a good conversation with President Trump and that they 227 00:10:57.759 --> 00:11:00.279 agreed that the tariffs would be delayed for a month 228 00:11:00.320 --> 00:11:02.919 while they discussed how to move forward. She agreed to 229 00:11:02.960 --> 00:11:04.879 send ten thousand troops to the border that would be 230 00:11:04.919 --> 00:11:08.519 focused on fentanyl specifically. She says the US also agreed 231 00:11:08.679 --> 00:11:11.000 to try to limit the flow of weapons across the 232 00:11:11.000 --> 00:11:13.799 border into Mexico and that they would continue to hold 233 00:11:13.799 --> 00:11:16.480 talks on things like the trade deficit as well as 234 00:11:16.519 --> 00:11:20.039 they decided whether to impose those tariffs over the next 235 00:11:20.039 --> 00:11:20.639 thirty days. 236 00:11:20.720 --> 00:11:24.159 This is the game that Donald Trump was playing the 237 00:11:24.279 --> 00:11:30.000 entire time he, according to Washington Post, President Shinbaum of 238 00:11:30.039 --> 00:11:33.759 Mexico had reached out to Trump on Friday to try 239 00:11:33.799 --> 00:11:36.480 to prevent this from happening in the first place. Remember, 240 00:11:36.600 --> 00:11:38.960 the announcement came down late last week that this was 241 00:11:39.000 --> 00:11:43.200 going to happen into Saturday. The actual tariffs themselves are 242 00:11:43.240 --> 00:11:47.759 not supposed to be imposed until tonight, so there is 243 00:11:47.840 --> 00:11:52.559 still some time perhaps for Canada to come to the 244 00:11:52.600 --> 00:11:55.399 table and Justin Trudeau to make some of the accommodations 245 00:11:55.600 --> 00:11:57.519 that Trump is looking for, and they are supposed to 246 00:11:57.559 --> 00:12:01.919 have a conversation at about noon today our time. United 247 00:12:01.960 --> 00:12:06.759 States and Mexico, by the way, are each other's biggest 248 00:12:06.759 --> 00:12:10.519 trading partners, and Mexico is obviously dependent when it comes 249 00:12:10.600 --> 00:12:14.080 to income from the United States. More than eighty percent 250 00:12:14.480 --> 00:12:18.440 of Mexico's exports more than eighty percent go to the 251 00:12:18.519 --> 00:12:21.960 United States, and they said if the tariffs were a 252 00:12:22.240 --> 00:12:25.960 put in place and b lasted for any significant amount 253 00:12:25.960 --> 00:12:28.399 of time several weeks to a couple of months, they said, 254 00:12:28.399 --> 00:12:33.480 it's almost a given that Mexico's economy would slip into recession. 255 00:12:33.559 --> 00:12:36.159 And about face on Wall Street when that news broke, 256 00:12:36.240 --> 00:12:38.879 by the way, because markets were plunging, and then this 257 00:12:39.000 --> 00:12:42.879 one month delay got announced and things started to stabilize 258 00:12:43.200 --> 00:12:45.720 because of the strength of trade between the US and 259 00:12:45.759 --> 00:12:47.240 Mexico globally. 260 00:12:48.159 --> 00:12:49.879 So this is going to be interesting how the next 261 00:12:49.879 --> 00:12:54.759 few hours play out, because as intransigent as Donald Trump is, 262 00:12:55.240 --> 00:12:58.360 he's met by the guy with the Disney hare, Justin 263 00:12:58.399 --> 00:13:01.480 Trudeau up in Canada, who has also said that he 264 00:13:01.759 --> 00:13:04.039 is tired of being just a nice Canadian guy. 265 00:13:04.559 --> 00:13:06.000 He's going to stick to his guns. 266 00:13:06.639 --> 00:13:09.960 We'll see how far that goes, because it almost seems 267 00:13:10.000 --> 00:13:12.399 like Canada can't stick to its guns. 268 00:13:12.519 --> 00:13:15.240 It almost feels like love actually a little bit when 269 00:13:15.279 --> 00:13:17.960 the best American president comes in to take whatever he 270 00:13:18.000 --> 00:13:20.200 wants to take and then like the little Hugh Grant 271 00:13:20.279 --> 00:13:23.320 characters like no because you hit on my girlfriend with 272 00:13:23.399 --> 00:13:27.159 big thighs, And now I'm gonna fake your diplomatic agenda. 273 00:13:27.799 --> 00:13:31.679 My are you saying Clodiabaum has big thighs? I missed 274 00:13:31.679 --> 00:13:32.720 the allegory there, I do. 275 00:13:33.240 --> 00:13:36.279 It was a love actually analogy. 276 00:13:36.360 --> 00:13:38.759 I'll have to go back and watch that again. Was 277 00:13:38.799 --> 00:13:43.000 that on right after Groundhog Day? Are you going to 278 00:13:43.039 --> 00:13:45.720 be hurtful all week or just today? I am in 279 00:13:45.799 --> 00:13:48.840 physical pain today. Really, I honestly don't know what I did. 280 00:13:49.080 --> 00:13:49.399 I'm not. 281 00:13:49.559 --> 00:13:52.000 I think I do have a confectionery in my What 282 00:13:52.039 --> 00:13:52.639 did you do? 283 00:13:52.919 --> 00:13:53.360 I don't know. 284 00:13:54.120 --> 00:13:56.919 Friday I felt enough as I was as I was driving, 285 00:13:57.200 --> 00:13:58.320 I felt it Friday, and I. 286 00:13:58.320 --> 00:14:01.480 Was sitting too long? Is a big problem is I'm 287 00:14:01.519 --> 00:14:03.440 not trying to make an old joke as we all 288 00:14:03.480 --> 00:14:08.840 get older, sitting for four hours just to hear I don't. 289 00:14:08.399 --> 00:14:12.919 It's all connected, dumbass. I mean, it's all connected, Thank 290 00:14:12.960 --> 00:14:18.200 you doctor. It is all connected. Especially like if you're 291 00:14:18.200 --> 00:14:20.919 feeling something in your hips where you're sitting and you're 292 00:14:20.960 --> 00:14:23.000 adjusting for it, it's gonna go up to your shoulder. 293 00:14:23.399 --> 00:14:25.120 We're gonna have a plank party because there's a new 294 00:14:25.200 --> 00:14:27.000 Luke Bryan sung out. But I think you're gonna enjoy 295 00:14:27.080 --> 00:14:30.320 and only two minutes, like two minutes and ten seconds, 296 00:14:30.639 --> 00:14:31.639 so we'll have a plank party. 297 00:14:31.639 --> 00:14:33.080 You want to do it now, acare Just so you know, 298 00:14:33.279 --> 00:14:37.679 my definition of country music has changed because Beyonce want 299 00:14:38.120 --> 00:14:38.879 no no. 300 00:14:39.039 --> 00:14:42.279 I think everybody no no. We already checked the racist box. 301 00:14:42.559 --> 00:14:45.519 No you did, you did. I'm filling out my own 302 00:14:45.559 --> 00:14:46.960 form over here, just so you know. 303 00:14:48.559 --> 00:14:50.679 Big news at the border this week, as we have 304 00:14:50.759 --> 00:14:53.600 been talking about with Mexico saying all right, we will 305 00:14:53.600 --> 00:14:56.399 play ball with you America. We will send ten thousand 306 00:14:56.480 --> 00:14:59.519 troops to the border try to slow the spread of 307 00:14:59.600 --> 00:15:03.240 drugs over the border. Robert Sherman is a national correspondent 308 00:15:03.279 --> 00:15:07.720 for News Nation and covers the border. Robert, thanks for 309 00:15:07.759 --> 00:15:08.600 your time this morning. 310 00:15:09.639 --> 00:15:11.039 Thank you for having me appreciate it. 311 00:15:11.159 --> 00:15:13.440 So what do we expect to look differently at the 312 00:15:13.440 --> 00:15:14.720 border with Mexico. 313 00:15:15.440 --> 00:15:17.480 Well, that's going to be the big thing here is 314 00:15:17.559 --> 00:15:21.320 that these conversations are going to continue on ongoing for 315 00:15:21.360 --> 00:15:24.360 the next month or so, as both Mexico City and 316 00:15:24.519 --> 00:15:27.440 Washington have announced that there is an agreement in place 317 00:15:27.600 --> 00:15:30.759 which will pause tariff for a month as these negotiations 318 00:15:30.440 --> 00:15:34.200 continue them the big headline being this deployment of ten 319 00:15:34.279 --> 00:15:37.840 thousand Mexican troops to the US Mexico border on the 320 00:15:37.919 --> 00:15:40.919 Mexican side in order to try and stem the flow 321 00:15:41.120 --> 00:15:46.080 of sentinel and migrants that are heading towards the United States. 322 00:15:46.120 --> 00:15:48.759 That's going to be the big element here. But in 323 00:15:48.840 --> 00:15:52.519 terms of more permanent solutions, those conversations are going to 324 00:15:52.559 --> 00:15:55.440 continue on here. I think that it was interesting that 325 00:15:55.559 --> 00:15:58.759 Quaudia Shanebaum, the President of Mexico, set that as these 326 00:15:58.799 --> 00:16:02.639 negotiations continue, some that they want are restrictions from the 327 00:16:02.799 --> 00:16:06.360 US on weapons going into Mexico. That's a problem that 328 00:16:06.399 --> 00:16:09.279 doesn't get talked about as often, but it's something that 329 00:16:09.320 --> 00:16:12.120 has been ongoing for a very long time along the 330 00:16:12.159 --> 00:16:15.440 US Mexico border. So you will see a heightened military 331 00:16:15.519 --> 00:16:18.559 presence there and then we'll kind of see where all 332 00:16:18.600 --> 00:16:19.720 this shakes out from there. 333 00:16:20.480 --> 00:16:24.200 Do you know much about the relationship between Mexico and Canada, 334 00:16:24.440 --> 00:16:27.399 I mean, I don't. This isn't directly, you know, dealing 335 00:16:27.399 --> 00:16:29.919 with the trade between those two nations. Obviously we're in 336 00:16:29.919 --> 00:16:33.639 the middle of it. But do those nations traditionally get along, 337 00:16:33.759 --> 00:16:36.440 especially when it comes to trade trade policy? 338 00:16:37.639 --> 00:16:41.120 Traditionally yes, I mean, especially ever since NAFTA first came 339 00:16:41.159 --> 00:16:44.720 onto the scene of you have seen strong relationships between 340 00:16:44.720 --> 00:16:46.840 all three of those countries. And of course, depending on 341 00:16:46.879 --> 00:16:49.759 who you ask who that deal benefits or doesn't. You know, 342 00:16:49.799 --> 00:16:51.759 we can have that discussion all day, but they are 343 00:16:51.799 --> 00:16:54.399 a part of that mix. I think that the important 344 00:16:54.440 --> 00:16:57.440 thing to note here, though, is when you just look 345 00:16:57.480 --> 00:16:59.919 at the numbers, people are asking why is the UNI 346 00:17:00.039 --> 00:17:03.360 United States doing this right now? Well, the White House 347 00:17:03.399 --> 00:17:05.440 believes that they've got all the leverage that they need 348 00:17:05.519 --> 00:17:07.200 in order to get what they want out of both 349 00:17:07.200 --> 00:17:10.599 of these countries. You're looking at about seventy five percent 350 00:17:10.720 --> 00:17:14.319 of all of Mexico's exports go to the US market, 351 00:17:14.759 --> 00:17:18.279 similar numbers for Canada to the US market here, So 352 00:17:18.559 --> 00:17:21.160 that is the big granddaddy of them all. Both of 353 00:17:21.200 --> 00:17:24.920 them want to take their goods and their commodities to 354 00:17:25.079 --> 00:17:27.720 the United States for sale there. They rely on it 355 00:17:27.839 --> 00:17:31.279 heavily here. That's why you see these conversations taking place 356 00:17:31.279 --> 00:17:34.119 here because of the United States. Yes, they use Mexico 357 00:17:34.119 --> 00:17:37.359 and they use Canada as reliable trade partners, but you're 358 00:17:37.400 --> 00:17:40.680 looking at ten eleven percent of US exports going to 359 00:17:40.720 --> 00:17:41.400 those countries. 360 00:17:43.640 --> 00:17:45.640 How is this being received in Mexico? 361 00:17:46.400 --> 00:17:50.640 This could be taken as a capitulation on Shinbaum's part 362 00:17:50.960 --> 00:17:52.160 to Trump. 363 00:17:52.559 --> 00:17:55.319 But how is this being received by the locals? 364 00:17:55.440 --> 00:17:57.640 Yeah, and just an addendum to that question, I was 365 00:17:57.720 --> 00:17:59.960 at the dentist's office and a woman who goes back 366 00:18:00.039 --> 00:18:03.720 and forth between Mexico and southern California said that already, people, 367 00:18:03.920 --> 00:18:06.480 there's this sentiment in Mexico because I'm going there in 368 00:18:06.480 --> 00:18:08.039 a couple of weeks. And she said, you know, just 369 00:18:08.079 --> 00:18:09.920 be careful because there's a sentiment. And she's from there. 370 00:18:09.960 --> 00:18:12.200 She said of Oh, you don't want to us, Okay, 371 00:18:12.200 --> 00:18:14.680 we don't want you. Kind of a weird vibe going on. 372 00:18:15.880 --> 00:18:17.960 You know, that's a very astute question there. And what 373 00:18:17.960 --> 00:18:19.559 I would say to that is that, I mean, you 374 00:18:19.599 --> 00:18:22.480 look at the reactions that have come from Mexico and Canada. 375 00:18:22.759 --> 00:18:24.759 They have not been uniform. I mean, they have been 376 00:18:24.799 --> 00:18:27.839 two very different responses from both of these countries. On 377 00:18:27.880 --> 00:18:31.240 the one hand, you have Mexico who has come out 378 00:18:31.240 --> 00:18:32.759 and said that there's going to be some kind of 379 00:18:32.759 --> 00:18:35.839 an agreement that is going to be in place and 380 00:18:35.920 --> 00:18:38.119 that they're prepared to work with the United States on 381 00:18:38.160 --> 00:18:41.559 the issue of immigration. So the White House's position is 382 00:18:41.720 --> 00:18:45.799 that Mexico has been more receptive to getting to the 383 00:18:45.880 --> 00:18:49.640 goal line, which is shoring up the border and re 384 00:18:49.839 --> 00:18:52.920 establishing economic equity when it comes to trade between the 385 00:18:52.920 --> 00:18:56.920 two countries. Canada's response, on the other hand, has been 386 00:18:57.000 --> 00:19:01.240 to levy retaliatory terraces. We even heard the premiere of 387 00:19:01.279 --> 00:19:03.160 Ottawa coming out today saying we don't want to do 388 00:19:03.200 --> 00:19:06.319 business with American companies who want to end our agreement 389 00:19:06.359 --> 00:19:09.559 with Starlink. We're prepared for a trade war and we're 390 00:19:09.559 --> 00:19:12.359 prepared to win. I think it's very interesting that you've 391 00:19:12.359 --> 00:19:14.960 had two very different reactions coming from both of these 392 00:19:15.000 --> 00:19:18.079 countries as a result of this, and the sentiments that 393 00:19:18.119 --> 00:19:20.960 you've seen, particularly in Canada, a lot of people are 394 00:19:21.039 --> 00:19:23.160 not very happy about all of this right now, but 395 00:19:23.200 --> 00:19:25.680 I mean, it stands to reason that the economic burden, 396 00:19:26.240 --> 00:19:29.160 if all of this comes to fruition, is going to 397 00:19:29.160 --> 00:19:32.440 be felt much more heavily by Mexican and Canadian citizens 398 00:19:32.480 --> 00:19:34.000 than US citizens. 399 00:19:34.519 --> 00:19:38.440 Robert, great stuff, Thank you, Thank you appreciating Robert. 400 00:19:38.240 --> 00:19:39.200 Sherman there with News Nation. 401 00:19:39.920 --> 00:19:42.640
