Tomorrow show, Wednesday, 24 00:02:03.280 --> 00:02:08.599 probably no show, maybe late, I'm hoping. I'm hoping Thursday show, 25 00:02:08.800 --> 00:02:14.879 no show Friday. Then we'll do Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, 26 00:02:15.479 --> 00:02:19.639 no show, Monday Tuesday. Okay, anyway, we'll see, right, So 27 00:02:20.599 --> 00:02:23.400 we'll try to get as many shows in and the 28 00:02:23.439 --> 00:02:26.680 rest of April. In the meantime, you can support the show. 29 00:02:26.919 --> 00:02:29.879 You can ask questions, you can do super chats. All 30 00:02:29.919 --> 00:02:33.800 available right here, right now, so go for it. So 31 00:02:34.599 --> 00:02:38.479 this week I'm in Atlanta to do some stuff and 32 00:02:39.680 --> 00:02:46.159 tape capitalism course for the institute. Yeah, that's it, all right, 33 00:02:46.280 --> 00:02:50.039 let's jump in. All right. So here's a setup, right. 34 00:02:52.800 --> 00:02:57.599 Ice rounds up a bunch of gang members. It doesn't 35 00:02:57.599 --> 00:03:00.719 pay too much attention to who it's running up their tattoos. 36 00:03:00.759 --> 00:03:02.800 If they're suspicious of someone, they follow us as a 37 00:03:02.879 --> 00:03:05.639 gang member. They put them in a plane ship them 38 00:03:05.680 --> 00:03:10.639 to Salvado. Before the plane reaches Al Salvado to a 39 00:03:10.719 --> 00:03:14.639 high security jail, one of the nastiest, maybe in the world, 40 00:03:14.759 --> 00:03:19.680 nastiest maybe in the world. A judge says, wait a minute, 41 00:03:19.879 --> 00:03:23.879 none of these people are due process. You didn't document 42 00:03:23.919 --> 00:03:27.639 any of this. None of this was processed. You can't 43 00:03:27.680 --> 00:03:30.479 ship people out of here to an Al salvadori in 44 00:03:30.599 --> 00:03:38.360 jail without due process. Bring the planes back, I ignores them, 45 00:03:38.479 --> 00:03:41.479 lends the planes in El Salvado. They're unloaded in El 46 00:03:41.520 --> 00:03:45.360 Salvado and put in the high security jail. In the meantime, 47 00:03:45.360 --> 00:03:48.360 it turns out that several of the people, maybe up 48 00:03:48.400 --> 00:03:51.039 to ten percent of the people on the planes in 49 00:03:51.039 --> 00:03:54.639 the Salvadorian jail right now are not gang members. Maybe 50 00:03:54.639 --> 00:03:56.840 it's more than ten percent. Episode is probably what we know. 51 00:03:58.159 --> 00:04:04.159 They're although illegal limics, with exception of one person, Abrigo Garcia, 52 00:04:04.199 --> 00:04:08.560 who literally has an order from a judge saying he 53 00:04:08.599 --> 00:04:15.240 cannot be deported. He went through immigration court, he went 54 00:04:15.280 --> 00:04:19.120 through an asylum hearing, and at the end of the 55 00:04:19.360 --> 00:04:22.600 hearing it says he cannot be deported. So he's got 56 00:04:23.319 --> 00:04:28.639 a document saying Abigo Garcia is married, he has three 57 00:04:28.839 --> 00:04:33.120 young kids, and he lives. I think it's in Boston. 58 00:04:33.199 --> 00:04:36.680 If I'm not correct, I think it's in Boston. At 59 00:04:36.720 --> 00:04:40.680 some point during his immigration hearing way back, he was 60 00:04:40.759 --> 00:04:44.879 accused of belonging to MS thirteen. That was never proven, 61 00:04:45.279 --> 00:04:48.720 that was never the basis for the accusation, and indeed 62 00:04:48.959 --> 00:04:54.680 he was the Ice was barred from deporting him because 63 00:04:55.439 --> 00:04:58.279 the judge viewed it as a risk to his life 64 00:04:58.439 --> 00:05:06.600 if he was deported to El Salvado, because because the 65 00:05:06.639 --> 00:05:11.560 gangs were after him, not because he was there Miss thirteen. Anyway, 66 00:05:12.199 --> 00:05:17.600 he was rounded up and he is now in an 67 00:05:17.600 --> 00:05:20.959 Ol SALVADORI in jail. Now, all this evidence was brought 68 00:05:20.959 --> 00:05:23.399 in front of a judge, and a judge basically said, 69 00:05:24.680 --> 00:05:28.639 you got to bring you back. He is not you 70 00:05:28.680 --> 00:05:33.639 know you He had a clear there's a clear legal 71 00:05:33.720 --> 00:05:37.160 standing that prohibited you from deporting him. If we'd gone 72 00:05:37.160 --> 00:05:40.199 through due process, we would have discovered that and you 73 00:05:40.199 --> 00:05:46.480 wouldn't have deported him. And the government is saying no, Yes, 74 00:05:47.199 --> 00:05:50.399 the government's saying basically, yes, we made a mistake. Yes 75 00:05:51.240 --> 00:05:56.319 he was deported illegitimately. We shouldn't have deported him, but 76 00:05:56.360 --> 00:05:59.160 we can't do anything about it. Can't do anything about it. 77 00:05:59.279 --> 00:06:01.759 He's in Ol Salva now can't do a thing about it. 78 00:06:02.879 --> 00:06:06.240 We're now going to do a thing about it. So, uh, 79 00:06:06.319 --> 00:06:10.800 this issue was appealed to the Supreme courte and the 80 00:06:10.839 --> 00:06:12.800 Supreme Quote came down with the ruling I think it 81 00:06:12.839 --> 00:06:17.360 was on Friday, well, Thursday, nine to zero. How often 82 00:06:17.360 --> 00:06:21.439 do you see that nine to zero basically telling the 83 00:06:21.480 --> 00:06:25.360 government you got to bring this guy back. You got 84 00:06:25.399 --> 00:06:29.319 to bring this guy back. You got to facilitate his 85 00:06:29.600 --> 00:06:33.120 return to the United States. That's what the Supreme Quote ruled. 86 00:06:35.680 --> 00:06:39.439 And so they and and they they told the judge 87 00:06:39.439 --> 00:06:44.759 in the Low Court, you have to, you know, hold 88 00:06:44.839 --> 00:06:48.319 the government accountable and monitor that they bring this guy back, 89 00:06:51.199 --> 00:06:59.920 facilitate his return. Yeah, Edward, Edward, the Trump zombie is 90 00:07:00.079 --> 00:07:01.759 going to tell us that there's a big difference between 91 00:07:01.759 --> 00:07:09.040 facilitate and effectuate. That's right, and and and that's the 92 00:07:09.079 --> 00:07:12.399 source of it. Anyway, they have to facilitate the return. Now, 93 00:07:12.480 --> 00:07:17.000 all facilitating a return would require is Trump telling the 94 00:07:17.120 --> 00:07:20.000 or the Trumpet dover station telling the El Salvadorians, we 95 00:07:20.040 --> 00:07:21.800 want this guy back, and they would put him on 96 00:07:21.800 --> 00:07:27.680 a plane and to come back. So today, Bukeley, the 97 00:07:27.720 --> 00:07:31.959 presidente of Lsalvado, the guy who built these horrific jails, 98 00:07:32.879 --> 00:07:37.560 was in the White House scheduled meeting. He is a 99 00:07:38.319 --> 00:07:40.120 fan of Donald Trump, or maybe it's the other way round. 100 00:07:40.160 --> 00:07:42.279 Donald Trump is a fan of Bucellas. But at the 101 00:07:42.360 --> 00:07:45.519 end of the day, Boukelly is a tin pot dictator 102 00:07:45.800 --> 00:07:48.519 of a tiny little country. Trump is the president of 103 00:07:48.600 --> 00:07:52.480 the United States of America. And uh, Trump could have 104 00:07:52.720 --> 00:07:59.360 asked Boukeley to ship a Brigo back to the United 105 00:07:59.399 --> 00:08:02.759 States very and let me tell you, Bukeli would have 106 00:08:02.800 --> 00:08:06.920 done it. Or he could have told him, now, let's delay, 107 00:08:07.480 --> 00:08:09.399 and Bikela would have said, I mean, I need to 108 00:08:09.399 --> 00:08:11.839 think about it. I mean, in other words, Bookela would 109 00:08:11.839 --> 00:08:15.120 have done whatever Trump said. Well, whatever happened in their 110 00:08:15.160 --> 00:08:20.800 private meeting, it was clear that something else was decided. 111 00:08:21.000 --> 00:08:22.839 That is when they came out in front of reporters 112 00:08:22.839 --> 00:08:27.319 and Brikela was asked if he would facilitate the return 113 00:08:28.199 --> 00:08:35.759 of Abrigo Garcia. He said no, I will not. And 114 00:08:36.320 --> 00:08:39.200 Trump was sitting there with a huge grin on his face, 115 00:08:39.840 --> 00:08:42.840 just smirking like, Yeah, the guy's doing what I told 116 00:08:42.879 --> 00:08:44.600 him to do. This is so cool. What does Supreme 117 00:08:44.639 --> 00:08:52.960 Court gonna do? Now they can't force a foreign leader. Yeah, 118 00:08:53.000 --> 00:08:57.679 s Vincourt has no jurisdiction in Elsavado. But the US 119 00:08:57.759 --> 00:09:01.720 government is basically saying we will now do anything anything 120 00:09:03.120 --> 00:09:09.720 to bring Abrigo Guscia home. And the President of the 121 00:09:09.840 --> 00:09:13.559 United States is saying, I'm not going to do anything. Basically, 122 00:09:13.559 --> 00:09:16.200 the administration is saying, the Supreme Court has no authority 123 00:09:16.240 --> 00:09:19.759 of a farm policy, and therefore we are going to 124 00:09:19.799 --> 00:09:35.039 ignore the Supreme Court. Now here's what here's the night misscenario. 125 00:09:35.080 --> 00:09:37.799 I'm not saying this will happen, but it could happen. 126 00:09:39.200 --> 00:09:41.360 As the walking out. This is not the night true seremony. 127 00:09:41.480 --> 00:09:44.480 This is reality. Is actually what happened as the walking out. 128 00:09:44.480 --> 00:09:48.759 And he's saying goodbye to b Kelly. This is the transaction. 129 00:09:48.960 --> 00:09:53.000 Was there the there the conversation was actually recorded, and 130 00:09:53.039 --> 00:09:56.480 Trump says to Bukeley, I want to I want to 131 00:09:56.559 --> 00:10:01.559 put you know, Americans in your jails. You know, real 132 00:10:02.240 --> 00:10:06.279 criminals in your jails. So build more, build You got 133 00:10:06.320 --> 00:10:09.000 to build at least five more huge jails. These are 134 00:10:09.039 --> 00:10:11.679 massive jails, hold tens of thousands. You got to bring 135 00:10:12.000 --> 00:10:14.039 five more because I want to. I want to put 136 00:10:14.080 --> 00:10:20.720 Americans in your jails. Now he has a scenario. Let's 137 00:10:20.759 --> 00:10:27.480 say Trump is serious only hardened criminals. But let's say 138 00:10:27.720 --> 00:10:32.759 a hardened criminal. If somebody goes to the trial and 139 00:10:33.120 --> 00:10:36.840 is found guilty of murder and is shipped off to 140 00:10:36.960 --> 00:10:44.840 a Salvadorian jail, which seems unconstitutional to me, but I 141 00:10:44.879 --> 00:10:48.159 don't think anybody cares anymore about the constitution. Imagine that, 142 00:10:49.200 --> 00:10:54.440 and imagine a year later, DNA evidence is found that 143 00:10:54.559 --> 00:10:58.399 shows that this guy didn't commit the murder, and now 144 00:10:59.320 --> 00:11:04.600 you you should, you think bring him back from Osalvado 145 00:11:05.440 --> 00:11:08.360 and the President goes, na, I don't think so, I'm 146 00:11:08.360 --> 00:11:11.440 not gonna ask Bokela for that favor. Why would ask Bukella. 147 00:11:12.200 --> 00:11:15.639 Let him stay there, and that's it, and there's no 148 00:11:15.720 --> 00:11:19.320 recourse and nobody cares. An America just goes, yeah, I 149 00:11:19.360 --> 00:11:21.519 know he's innocent. Yeah, we shouldn't have sent him to 150 00:11:21.519 --> 00:11:25.639 the Alisilvadurian jail. But let him rot. We don't care. Particularly, 151 00:11:26.080 --> 00:11:32.559 I don't know if he's an immigrant, maybe has dark 152 00:11:32.720 --> 00:11:36.519 skin or something that makes him unappealing to the powers 153 00:11:36.519 --> 00:11:44.679 to be. Oh. Even worse, imagine that they just start 154 00:11:45.000 --> 00:11:50.559 arresting people and sending them to you know, l Salvado. 155 00:11:50.639 --> 00:11:53.159 And you know, once in a while they rope into 156 00:11:53.240 --> 00:11:59.159 the rounding up some critic of Trump and he started 157 00:11:59.159 --> 00:12:02.159 gang man. But he did nothing, and he goes, oh, yeah, sorry, 158 00:12:02.559 --> 00:12:04.879 that was a mistake. We didn't mean to send that 159 00:12:04.919 --> 00:12:08.919 guy to El Salvado. But he's there now. There's nothing 160 00:12:08.919 --> 00:12:14.440 we can do about it, so be it. I mean, 161 00:12:16.039 --> 00:12:21.440 this is sci fi level American dictatorship is coming stuff. 162 00:12:22.679 --> 00:12:27.440 This is how bad it is. It's crazy, and what's 163 00:12:27.480 --> 00:12:31.440 going to happen? Right? So the Supreme Court could now say, 164 00:12:31.519 --> 00:12:40.200 you know you are you are not fulfilling. Right, we 165 00:12:40.320 --> 00:12:47.840 ruled nine to zero. The Supreme Court could escalate, so 166 00:12:48.360 --> 00:12:51.759 abgo Gussia's lawyers could go back to the Supreme Court 167 00:12:52.279 --> 00:12:55.159 alleged administration has refused to comply with the court's order. 168 00:12:56.399 --> 00:12:59.639 And then the court finds that the administration did not comply. 169 00:13:00.639 --> 00:13:07.799 It was again it demands action. And then what would 170 00:13:08.559 --> 00:13:12.600 Congress then take it up and impeach the president? No, 171 00:13:13.480 --> 00:13:19.960 we know that wouldn't happen. Would the military now led 172 00:13:20.080 --> 00:13:24.960 by Trump accolades, who he fired the military leadership and 173 00:13:25.000 --> 00:13:29.200 put his own people in there, would they back the 174 00:13:29.200 --> 00:13:32.120 Supreme Court? And I don't know depose the president and 175 00:13:32.159 --> 00:13:34.320 it never happened in American history? Would it happen? In 176 00:13:34.320 --> 00:13:38.480 no way, It wouldn't happen. If the court found the 177 00:13:38.519 --> 00:13:42.399 administration in contempt, Would President Trump be arrested and put 178 00:13:42.480 --> 00:13:46.360 in jail for contempt of court? Would Secretary ubioh with 179 00:13:46.639 --> 00:13:48.639 you know who? I don't know who is responsible the 180 00:13:48.639 --> 00:13:51.960 head of Ice? Would any of them be arrested? No, 181 00:13:53.240 --> 00:13:56.399 not given who runs the Justice Department, not given who 182 00:13:56.480 --> 00:14:01.919 runs the FBI. I mean, the reality is the scary 183 00:14:01.960 --> 00:14:04.679 part of this. I mean, I feel sorry for a 184 00:14:04.720 --> 00:14:06.679 Bert goo Garcia and his family. I mean, this is 185 00:14:06.679 --> 00:14:11.039 tragic and horrific. But think of the wider implications here 186 00:14:11.120 --> 00:14:14.120 of the rule of law. Think of the wider implications 187 00:14:14.120 --> 00:14:18.080 of an administration completely out of control with no respect 188 00:14:18.120 --> 00:14:20.440 for the courts, no respect for the rule of law? 189 00:14:24.279 --> 00:14:28.120 Is there? I mean, where does it go from here? 190 00:14:28.120 --> 00:14:31.000 And it very could well could be that the court 191 00:14:31.039 --> 00:14:35.000 decides not to hear the case, because it could very 192 00:14:35.039 --> 00:14:40.320 well be that the court decides, you know what, you know? 193 00:14:40.600 --> 00:14:44.120 Is this the hell we want to die on? Is 194 00:14:44.159 --> 00:14:47.639 this the constitutional crisis we want to have? I mean, 195 00:14:48.240 --> 00:14:50.399 shouldn't if we're going to have a constitution crisis would 196 00:14:50.440 --> 00:14:58.879 be over a bigger issue. Trump's canna ignore me anyway. 197 00:14:59.480 --> 00:15:05.960 I mean, Roberts might think that he got the unanimous decision. 198 00:15:07.039 --> 00:15:12.080 He now you know, ignores the non compliance and and 199 00:15:12.200 --> 00:15:20.080 lives to fight another day. There's nothing, there's nothing in 200 00:15:20.080 --> 00:15:28.120 American constitutional system that can compel Trump and oh can 201 00:15:28.159 --> 00:15:32.399 compel to dictator in Olsalvado to do something that he 202 00:15:32.480 --> 00:15:35.919 understands the President does not want him to do. So 203 00:15:36.159 --> 00:15:38.240 Trump doesn't have to say don't do it. He just 204 00:15:38.559 --> 00:15:42.519 has an understanding with Bukela. That smile clearly articulate that that. 205 00:15:43.720 --> 00:15:47.240 And Roberts can say, I can't compel Boukele to hand 206 00:15:47.240 --> 00:15:51.879 over this guy, and I can't, so what. There's nothing 207 00:15:51.879 --> 00:16:01.240 I can do, nothing you can do. Just think of 208 00:16:01.240 --> 00:16:05.720 that as you defend this president. Just think of that. 209 00:16:07.879 --> 00:16:11.159 I mean, God, I'm looking at a video of Bukele saying, 210 00:16:11.879 --> 00:16:14.039 how can I smuggle a terrorist in the United States? 211 00:16:14.039 --> 00:16:15.960 Of course I'm not going to do it. The question 212 00:16:16.039 --> 00:16:20.840 is preposterous. And Trumps sitting there with this smug smile, nodding. 213 00:16:21.720 --> 00:16:31.320 This is sick. This is behavior of a unhinged man, 214 00:16:32.559 --> 00:16:37.639 an authoritarian, an authoritarian and as we'll see. I think 215 00:16:37.720 --> 00:16:41.799 there's a pattern. The pattern is these guys are setting 216 00:16:41.879 --> 00:16:48.039 us up for a Urbann ultimately putin like we have elections, 217 00:16:48.240 --> 00:16:56.039 but they don't matter type authoritarianism. That's certainly what it 218 00:16:56.080 --> 00:16:59.519 looks like. I hope I'm wrong. I hope I'm wrong. 219 00:17:00.679 --> 00:17:06.240 But last time, four years ago, we had January sixth. 220 00:17:07.759 --> 00:17:12.680 Next time, they're not going to be that polite. They're 221 00:17:12.720 --> 00:17:14.480 not going to be They're going to have the support 222 00:17:14.599 --> 00:17:19.079 of everybody within the administration, including potentially the military. Why 223 00:17:19.079 --> 00:17:22.640 would they hand it over to a you know, a 224 00:17:22.680 --> 00:17:33.720 mob of crazy, mega incompetence. Why not do the job right? Anyway? 225 00:17:34.319 --> 00:17:44.400 It's scary stuff, legit scary stuff. Yeah, I know, you 226 00:17:44.480 --> 00:17:46.359 just can't buy into it. It's just hard to believe 227 00:17:46.359 --> 00:17:49.559 that that would happen. Did you believe in twenty twenty 228 00:17:50.079 --> 00:17:53.440 that January sixth, twenty twenty one would happen. Did we 229 00:17:53.559 --> 00:17:55.960 believe that Trump could just say, to hell with him, 230 00:17:56.039 --> 00:17:59.039 let him rot in, let him rot in prison, he's 231 00:17:59.039 --> 00:18:04.839 sick and you know the Supreme Court? Or did you 232 00:18:04.880 --> 00:18:08.720 believe that Donald Trump would write the following after Zelensky 233 00:18:08.839 --> 00:18:13.359 was sixty minutes over the weekend, Donald Trump was not happy, 234 00:18:15.279 --> 00:18:19.759 not happy. Donald Trump wrote, the war between Russia and 235 00:18:19.839 --> 00:18:24.960 Ukraine is Biden's war, not mine. He is such a child, 236 00:18:25.519 --> 00:18:28.359 a child. You guys voted for a five year old 237 00:18:28.359 --> 00:18:32.319 to run this country. I just got here, and for 238 00:18:32.400 --> 00:18:34.839 four years during my term, he had no problem preventing 239 00:18:34.839 --> 00:18:39.039 it from happening. There were stillities between Ukraine and Russia 240 00:18:39.200 --> 00:18:42.359 during that period of time. During the first Trump presidency, 241 00:18:42.680 --> 00:18:49.319 Trump Putinded already invaded Crimea and Eastern Ukraine. It just 242 00:18:49.440 --> 00:18:51.839 was in as heart as a war, and Trump did 243 00:18:51.880 --> 00:18:54.440 nothing about it. Tes he Appeace Putin even back then 244 00:18:56.359 --> 00:19:02.480 President Putin and everyone else respected your president might yeah, anyway, 245 00:19:03.039 --> 00:19:05.319 I had nothing to do with this war all caps, 246 00:19:05.920 --> 00:19:08.799 but in working diligently to get the death and destruction 247 00:19:08.880 --> 00:19:13.240 to stop. If the twenty twenty presidential elections were not 248 00:19:13.480 --> 00:19:17.319 rigged and it was talk about a five year old, 249 00:19:17.640 --> 00:19:20.599 he cannot let it go. He cannot let it go. 250 00:19:22.240 --> 00:19:25.960 It's a lie. He knows it's a lie. And every 251 00:19:26.079 --> 00:19:30.799 single you know, every every day almost it comes up 252 00:19:31.400 --> 00:19:33.880 in one of his statements, one of his tweets, one 253 00:19:33.880 --> 00:19:38.079 of his press conferences, if the twenty twenty presidential electors 254 00:19:38.160 --> 00:19:41.319 was election was not rigged, and it was in so 255 00:19:41.440 --> 00:19:45.920 many ways that horrible war would have never happened. President 256 00:19:46.039 --> 00:19:50.680 Zelensky and cooked Joe Biden did an absolutely horrible job 257 00:19:50.680 --> 00:19:57.720 in allowing this travesty to begin. There were so many 258 00:19:57.720 --> 00:20:00.480 ways to prevent it from even ever starting. But that 259 00:20:00.680 --> 00:20:02.839 is the past. Now we have to get it to 260 00:20:02.880 --> 00:20:08.240 stop and fast. So said, So. Putin didn't start this war. 261 00:20:08.759 --> 00:20:12.799 Putin didn't invade Ukraine. Putin had no responsibility for the 262 00:20:12.839 --> 00:20:16.960 actions of his military. Putin has no responsibility for this war, 263 00:20:17.480 --> 00:20:21.519 no culpability, nothing, zero. Not that this is on Zelensky 264 00:20:21.640 --> 00:20:38.240 and Biden. This is their war. It's their fault. Yeah. 265 00:20:38.279 --> 00:20:44.640 He later goes on and says, you know, so Zelensky 266 00:20:44.720 --> 00:20:48.720 during his sixteen minutes interview, said he wants to purchase 267 00:20:50.000 --> 00:20:54.319 Patriot missiles. He wants to watch fifteen billion dollars of 268 00:20:54.359 --> 00:20:58.720 American Patriot missiles. I think ten batteries. These are essential 269 00:20:58.759 --> 00:21:03.480 for the protection of Ukrainian skies from a constant bombama 270 00:21:03.640 --> 00:21:06.880 by the Russians. And he said he wants to buy them, 271 00:21:07.200 --> 00:21:09.759 didn't ask anybody to give it to him. This is 272 00:21:09.799 --> 00:21:13.880 what Trump says. Zelensky is always looking to purchase missiles. 273 00:21:14.200 --> 00:21:16.880 You don't start a war against somebody that's twenty times 274 00:21:16.880 --> 00:21:20.440 your size and then hope that people give you some missiles. 275 00:21:23.599 --> 00:21:26.359 You don't start a war against somebody that's twenty times 276 00:21:26.400 --> 00:21:29.559 your size and then hope that people give you some missiles. 277 00:21:31.079 --> 00:21:33.240 So you might have thought, you know, a couple of 278 00:21:33.240 --> 00:21:35.920 months ago, when Trump accused of Zelenski starting the war, 279 00:21:36.000 --> 00:21:38.720 that you know, maybe mispokey, it was an accident, or 280 00:21:38.799 --> 00:21:41.680 he's just trying to put pressure on him that moment. No, 281 00:21:43.880 --> 00:21:46.759 this is a strategy, or this is Trump, this is 282 00:21:46.920 --> 00:21:57.240 his agenda. Zelensky started the war, not putin Zelensky Ukraine. 283 00:21:58.599 --> 00:22:03.680 This time he doesn't mention Biden. And of course he says, 284 00:22:03.720 --> 00:22:07.200 and then hope that people give you some missaules looking 285 00:22:07.240 --> 00:22:12.440 to purchase missiles. He wants to buy them, buy them now. 286 00:22:12.559 --> 00:22:16.599 Note the patriots are not missiles, the defense systems. Why 287 00:22:16.680 --> 00:22:19.799 do they want defense systems because Russia is pounding their 288 00:22:20.720 --> 00:22:25.400 civilian population with missiles. Just had one hit the city 289 00:22:25.440 --> 00:22:29.200 of Sumi and killed thirty four people injuring one hundred 290 00:22:29.480 --> 00:22:37.240 on their way to church. Civilians. Note that Zelenski didn't 291 00:22:37.279 --> 00:22:45.759 start the war. Trump's best buddy Putin did could a baba. 292 00:22:46.240 --> 00:22:49.640 It's not that he's a dufist. I don't get I 293 00:22:49.640 --> 00:22:53.079 don't get you calling Trump dufers like duffis is like 294 00:22:53.160 --> 00:22:57.119 an innocent god. He's so spaced out, he's so This 295 00:22:57.200 --> 00:23:02.799 guy is evil through and through. President Trump is evil 296 00:23:02.839 --> 00:23:10.359 through and through. This is immoral, moronic, detached from reality, 297 00:23:10.839 --> 00:23:15.319 and downright evil. It's evil to let the person initiating 298 00:23:15.359 --> 00:23:19.359 the force, to let a brutal dictator like Putin with 299 00:23:19.440 --> 00:23:23.680 no nothing, and then to blame the innocent who's defending 300 00:23:23.759 --> 00:23:26.799 himself with everything that's not being a doufist, that is 301 00:23:26.839 --> 00:23:32.720 being through and through corrupt in his soul, in every 302 00:23:32.759 --> 00:23:35.960 fiber of everything that he is. This is a bad, 303 00:23:36.200 --> 00:23:48.799 bad human being. Now, of course we're gonna be told 304 00:23:49.039 --> 00:23:51.240 that this is just his stance to try to get 305 00:23:51.279 --> 00:23:53.599 ze Lynsky to sign a piece deal. It's out of 306 00:23:53.640 --> 00:24:00.640 the deal. It's three D chess, it doesn't matter. This 307 00:24:00.680 --> 00:24:03.079 is disgusting. And the fact that no pressure is being 308 00:24:03.079 --> 00:24:10.799 put in Russia, not a none, none, is truly despicable. 309 00:24:12.519 --> 00:24:14.920 Note that Russia was the one country that avoided tariffs 310 00:24:15.640 --> 00:24:21.440 on Liberation Day. Pretty interesting, huh. And then when he 311 00:24:21.519 --> 00:24:25.200 was told asked about the missile attack by the Russians 312 00:24:25.240 --> 00:24:28.119 on Sumi, where As I said, all those people were 313 00:24:28.200 --> 00:24:32.039 killed and injured and everything. He said, Look, I was 314 00:24:32.119 --> 00:24:35.119 told this is Trump again. I was told they made 315 00:24:35.160 --> 00:24:39.480 a mistake, this is Biden's war, this is not my war. 316 00:24:41.000 --> 00:24:48.359 Made a mistake. Putin makes mistakes. Zelensky starts wars. I mean, 317 00:24:49.000 --> 00:24:54.880 watch the sixty minute interview. Selinsky comes across as this honest, 318 00:24:55.880 --> 00:25:01.359 even courageous, thoughtful, try not to fend, trying to use 319 00:25:01.359 --> 00:25:04.359 the right words, but doesn't want to lie kind of person. 320 00:25:06.359 --> 00:25:09.559 I mean, Zonisky is a good guy. He really is. 321 00:25:15.599 --> 00:25:24.640 Trump is just thoroughly corrupt, thoroughly imo and president of 322 00:25:24.680 --> 00:25:29.799 the United States. I laugh because it's so absurd that 323 00:25:29.880 --> 00:25:33.839 he is. All right, guys, don't forget support the show. 324 00:25:34.000 --> 00:25:38.799 Support the show through stickers, super chats, value for value. 325 00:25:40.839 --> 00:25:48.160 I do these shows. You listen the value I provide, 326 00:25:48.359 --> 00:26:00.359 you should reciprocate. All right, that was Zelensky. All right, 327 00:26:01.640 --> 00:26:04.599 Constant news about tariffs, It doesn't stop, right. Every day, 328 00:26:04.680 --> 00:26:07.480 every hour there's something new, some new angle, some new thing. 329 00:26:10.680 --> 00:26:14.759 So you know, we had this exemption from electronics on 330 00:26:14.839 --> 00:26:20.000 Friday evening, the Trump put in primarily from China, because 331 00:26:20.039 --> 00:26:22.480 China has one hundred and twenty We have one hundred 332 00:26:22.519 --> 00:26:25.279 and forty five percent tariffs on Chinese goods and Apple 333 00:26:25.880 --> 00:26:31.000 and Nvidia, and all these were panicky, and somebody made 334 00:26:31.000 --> 00:26:36.200 a phone call and Trump excluded electronics from the tariffs. 335 00:26:36.839 --> 00:26:41.039 Well in the meantime, in the meantime, during the weekend, 336 00:26:42.119 --> 00:26:47.599 Lutnik Lutnik, this guy should be taught and feathered, right, 337 00:26:48.319 --> 00:26:51.559 taught and feathered. This guy should be out this this 338 00:26:51.640 --> 00:26:55.240 is god. He's the worst of all the Trumpet point 339 00:26:55.319 --> 00:27:00.160 he so far. Anyway, Lutnick goes on TV and says, oh, no, know, 340 00:27:00.240 --> 00:27:04.279 these exemptions are just temporary, just temporary, they won't last 341 00:27:05.480 --> 00:27:13.400 reversed them. Talk about creating uncertainty, ongoing, constant, no stop 342 00:27:13.480 --> 00:27:20.480 on certainty. Then Trump comes out and says, look, uh, 343 00:27:20.680 --> 00:27:23.359 the new tariffs coming. We're gonna have tariffs on on 344 00:27:23.440 --> 00:27:28.839 computer chips, We're gonna have tariffs on drugs and all 345 00:27:28.839 --> 00:27:34.160 of that on national security grounds. But I might I 346 00:27:34.279 --> 00:27:43.279 might spare the auto industry, constant shifting, moving around, nothing 347 00:27:43.400 --> 00:27:47.880 stays still, constant, changing the rules, and suddenly through the roof, 348 00:27:48.279 --> 00:27:51.000 I'll give you a favor take it away later. Maybe 349 00:27:51.039 --> 00:27:53.920 I'll give them a favor. Maybe I won't. Maybe I'll 350 00:27:53.960 --> 00:28:02.920 do that, maybe hear me. Yeah, So we're gonna have soon, 351 00:28:03.039 --> 00:28:08.079 we're gonna have tariffs on computer chips, farmceuticals, and we'll 352 00:28:08.079 --> 00:28:12.960 probably have some relaxation of levies of tariffs on cause 353 00:28:13.319 --> 00:28:16.240 and autoparts. So why do we do it to begin with? 354 00:28:16.880 --> 00:28:22.640 If now we're going to relax them? All right, So 355 00:28:23.240 --> 00:28:28.480 beyond just being a was it emol dufus, corrupt to 356 00:28:28.519 --> 00:28:37.480 the bone, the guy's incompetent, can't make up his mind, 357 00:28:38.839 --> 00:28:45.519 is creating massive uncertainty in the US economy. So this morning, 358 00:28:45.559 --> 00:28:49.279 the expectation was that stocks would be way up, and indeed, 359 00:28:50.039 --> 00:28:52.440 at some point early in the morning, I guess the 360 00:28:52.480 --> 00:28:55.039 NASAQ was up something like two percent. But as it 361 00:28:55.119 --> 00:28:57.440 kind of sunk in that, no, these new taffs are coming. 362 00:28:57.920 --> 00:29:01.880 It's not a done deal. It's temper stocks decline, they 363 00:29:01.920 --> 00:29:07.480 landed up up, still up, and indeed everything kind of moderated. 364 00:29:07.519 --> 00:29:13.519 The dollar kind of basically was flat today. Uh, but 365 00:29:13.720 --> 00:29:17.519 interstate and interstrates were down. So after the trend of 366 00:29:17.559 --> 00:29:21.119 interstates going up, interstates were down. And I think that's 367 00:29:21.200 --> 00:29:27.480 that's a big calming effect. But this is not ending 368 00:29:27.519 --> 00:29:32.720 anytime soon. The circus around trade is not ending about soon. 369 00:29:32.799 --> 00:29:36.759 And you're probably hearing. If not, you're not following what's 370 00:29:36.799 --> 00:29:39.640 going on, which is fine because you said you should 371 00:29:39.680 --> 00:29:42.359 only listen to the run book show for news. A 372 00:29:42.400 --> 00:29:45.759 lot of small businesses are going to really really be 373 00:29:45.799 --> 00:29:48.559 struggling and maybe go out of business here because they 374 00:29:48.599 --> 00:29:52.880 depend on inputs from China. A lot of businesses just 375 00:29:52.960 --> 00:29:55.720 don't know what to do because they don't know what's next. 376 00:29:56.200 --> 00:29:58.480 They don't know how long they can plan. They can't. 377 00:29:58.839 --> 00:30:03.519 I talked about this the pain felt I'd say primarily 378 00:30:03.559 --> 00:30:06.880 by small to medium sized businesses who can't lobby, They 379 00:30:06.880 --> 00:30:10.720 can't call up the White House, and they can't hedge 380 00:30:10.759 --> 00:30:15.880 their bats. They can't revamp their supply chain, revamp their 381 00:30:15.920 --> 00:30:22.079 supply chains on a dime. They're gonna struggle. They're gonna 382 00:30:22.119 --> 00:30:26.079 be real challenges here for a lot of companies, a 383 00:30:26.160 --> 00:30:30.720 lot of companies. And remember a lot of manufacturing that's 384 00:30:30.720 --> 00:30:34.599 done in the United States uses components or raw materials 385 00:30:34.920 --> 00:30:40.599 that are imported. So even manufacturing which is supposed to 386 00:30:40.640 --> 00:30:45.319 be grow because of this house, potentially in the short 387 00:30:45.400 --> 00:30:54.720 run will shrink because they can't bring stuff in, So 388 00:30:57.559 --> 00:31:02.000 it's a complete destruction. I mean, think about the fact that, 389 00:31:04.119 --> 00:31:08.400 you know the tariffs that were excluded electronics, Apple and 390 00:31:08.480 --> 00:31:12.599 Nvidia and Microsoft. They're in better shape because the exclusion 391 00:31:13.599 --> 00:31:16.519 temporary as it may be. But if your mom and 392 00:31:16.559 --> 00:31:22.519 pop shop selling toys, if your mom pop shops or 393 00:31:22.599 --> 00:31:25.519 not a mom or mid sized business selling furniture, a 394 00:31:25.519 --> 00:31:27.240 lot of the furniture in the United States is made 395 00:31:27.240 --> 00:31:31.000 in China, how are you going to survive this? Even 396 00:31:31.039 --> 00:31:34.480 if it's only temporary, even if Trump folds, what about 397 00:31:34.480 --> 00:31:37.599 the damage? The massive damage. I mean a lot of 398 00:31:37.640 --> 00:31:43.319 these companies, their margins are very small. How do they 399 00:31:43.359 --> 00:31:45.200 survive the next few days, in the next few weeks, 400 00:31:45.200 --> 00:31:53.440 in the next few months. And while he might fold 401 00:31:53.480 --> 00:31:56.000
