I'll give you details in a minute. First, 14 00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:55,000 let me jump over and get Jerry on the phone 15 00:00:55,039 --> 00:00:57,079 because he's been holding on for a bit. Hello Jerry, 16 00:00:57,119 --> 00:00:57,880 welcome to the show. 17 00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:01,520 Speaker 2: Hey, I'm okay. 18 00:01:01,759 --> 00:01:02,240 Speaker 1: How are you? 19 00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:05,760 Speaker 2: I'm living large because I'm sad. 20 00:01:06,239 --> 00:01:09,159 Speaker 1: Oh all right, anyway, you can I I mean, if 21 00:01:09,159 --> 00:01:11,000 you're looking to do something about that, you can do 22 00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:15,560 what I did, PhD a lot. 23 00:01:16,799 --> 00:01:22,680 Speaker 2: Anyway. I haven't married to my wife for she's from Bogata, Colombia. 24 00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:27,680 Twenty six and a half years ago. We spent about 25 00:01:27,799 --> 00:01:34,319 ten thousand dollars going through immigration correctly and when when 26 00:01:34,359 --> 00:01:38,680 we got everything going her legal status as she was 27 00:01:38,719 --> 00:01:46,079 an alien. So it there's a difference between an immigrant. 28 00:01:46,079 --> 00:01:53,079 An immigrant is somebody that completes the process legally. Everybody 29 00:01:53,079 --> 00:01:57,200 else is considered an alien illegal alien. 30 00:01:57,480 --> 00:02:01,120 Speaker 1: Well, alien is a descriptor that is used in the law, 31 00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:03,840 and it goes back, Yeah, it goes back, you know, 32 00:02:03,879 --> 00:02:07,680 two hundred and fifty years and yeah, somebody who is 33 00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:12,159 from another place, and there are different statuses of aliens. 34 00:02:12,159 --> 00:02:16,439 You've got resident alien, right that somebody who is like 35 00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:18,840 they're living here maybe for work or something, but they 36 00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:23,479 don't intend to become a citizen. So but then alien became, 37 00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:26,680 you know, a bad word. You can't use the word alien, 38 00:02:26,719 --> 00:02:29,599 you can't use the word illegal. And so that's why 39 00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:33,199 they've changed the way that we talk about this in 40 00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:38,120 order to soften these terms, because the terms actually conjured 41 00:02:38,199 --> 00:02:41,199 up an idea in people's minds, because we knew what 42 00:02:41,319 --> 00:02:45,360 these terms meant, and so the left wanted to they 43 00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:49,240 wanted to shatter that the imagery of what we conjure 44 00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:51,919 up in our minds, and so they change the language 45 00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:53,960 so they can control the debate. 46 00:02:55,159 --> 00:02:56,960 Speaker 2: Don't you think it's time to change it back? 47 00:02:57,400 --> 00:02:59,759 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I say illegal alien. I mean look, 48 00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:03,319 I can also say unauthorized immigrant as well, or an 49 00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:07,759 unauthorized alien. Either way, it doesn't matter to me because 50 00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:09,759 we all know what we're talking about, and all of 51 00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:14,199 these efforts to try to use different words to describe 52 00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:18,039 the exact same thing. It's just a it's just a 53 00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:21,199 it's a it's a psyop, and it's propaganda. That's all 54 00:03:21,199 --> 00:03:21,560 it is. 55 00:03:21,759 --> 00:03:23,560 Speaker 2: It is, and I'm tired of it. 56 00:03:23,719 --> 00:03:25,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, no, I agree. And like I said in the 57 00:03:25,719 --> 00:03:29,159 last hour, people who go about doing this the right 58 00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:36,639 way usually have the harshest attitudes towards the illegal immigrants 59 00:03:36,719 --> 00:03:39,919 or aliens that are trying to abuse the system and 60 00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:42,240 take advantage of it and try to get an amnesty 61 00:03:42,639 --> 00:03:45,360 down the road because they didn't have to go through 62 00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:47,759 all of the hoops that the people who did it 63 00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:54,639 correctly had to go through. And and yeah, it's insulting. Yeah, yep, Jerry, 64 00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:55,879 I appreciate the call, buddy. 65 00:03:55,919 --> 00:03:58,159 Speaker 2: And my wife and I are part of that very 66 00:03:58,159 --> 00:03:59,000 insulted group. 67 00:03:59,199 --> 00:04:01,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, no, I don't blame you one bit. I don't 68 00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:03,439 blame you or her one bit. So I appreciate the 69 00:04:03,439 --> 00:04:07,199 call Jerry good to hear from you. Thank you. I 70 00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:12,919 got a message here from Stanley who says, since it 71 00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:16,959 seems that undocumented people living here actually have constitutional rights, 72 00:04:17,399 --> 00:04:20,120 maybe we've been looking at this all wrong. The problem 73 00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:24,040 just might be that we are documented. Maybe we all 74 00:04:24,079 --> 00:04:27,639 ought to become undocumented and then actually live free in 75 00:04:27,639 --> 00:04:31,079 our own country. How about that. See, right, when you 76 00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:35,800 start dismantling the language in service to a political agenda, 77 00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:41,680 it creates all of these types of conflicts in law, 78 00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:46,360 in practice, in our just general understanding of an issue. 79 00:04:46,399 --> 00:04:50,519 And again it's intentional. It's why they change these words. 80 00:04:50,959 --> 00:04:53,160 They and they come up and they come up with 81 00:04:53,199 --> 00:04:56,879 some you know, feel good reason. Oh, we don't want 82 00:04:56,920 --> 00:05:01,360 people to to feel bad it's mean or something like that. 83 00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:05,680 Or they try to justify like, actually they haven't been 84 00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:10,480 adjudicated as here illegally and so blah blah blah blah blah. 85 00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:14,160 But we all know what class of people we are 86 00:05:14,199 --> 00:05:20,160 talking about. And that does not mean like the word 87 00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:25,680 the word is not offensive because of the word, right, 88 00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:33,399 it's the condition and people then make assumptions, they draw conclusions, 89 00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:39,199 or they have direct knowledge of the conditions, and that's 90 00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:43,040 what then makes the word insulting or offensive or whatever. 91 00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:46,879 It's not the word. It's not the term illegal alien. 92 00:05:47,519 --> 00:05:52,120 It's a legal term. It's from the founding of the country, right. 93 00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:57,759 I mean, look the the the law that Trump cited, 94 00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:01,879 the alien the Enemy Aliens Act, right, whatever that was, 95 00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:04,480 it says it right there in the name, and that 96 00:06:04,519 --> 00:06:06,879 thing is from the founding of the country. It's from 97 00:06:07,199 --> 00:06:13,319 John Adams's term. So it's not the term. And I 98 00:06:13,319 --> 00:06:16,079 don't care to play the word games about it any longer, 99 00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:18,519 like I am done. There was a time. See, this 100 00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:23,839 is what the left does is they weaponize your politeness, 101 00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:30,560 your your desire not to offend, to get along right, basically, 102 00:06:31,439 --> 00:06:35,519 your your kindness, and they use that against you. They 103 00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:38,839 make you feel bad if you use a word to 104 00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:44,199 describe the thing that has been or they will they 105 00:06:44,199 --> 00:06:45,920 try to make you feel bad if you use a 106 00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:48,120 word that we have always used to describe a thing. 107 00:06:48,879 --> 00:06:51,000 And then they change this and they say, oh no, no, 108 00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:55,839 the new word now is undocumented immigrant. It's different. And 109 00:06:55,879 --> 00:06:59,480 then it changed. Then it went to undocumented migrant. Right, 110 00:06:59,519 --> 00:07:02,040 they got of immigrant and now just a migrant, as 111 00:07:02,079 --> 00:07:04,839 if that word didn't have a specific meaning before either. 112 00:07:05,319 --> 00:07:09,199 And now what last week I was reading the article 113 00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:12,879 that I'm trying to remember what publication it was out of, 114 00:07:12,959 --> 00:07:15,279 but I forget. But it was a lefty I think 115 00:07:15,319 --> 00:07:18,160 it was Wired dot com or something, and they started 116 00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:21,759 calling it irregular immigration. That's what they're calling it now, 117 00:07:22,319 --> 00:07:27,439 irregular immigration. Right to soften it, so it's to see, 118 00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:30,240 it's not the same. It's see, it's not so bad, no, 119 00:07:31,199 --> 00:07:37,360 but it is. It is. The Wisconsin Supreme Court has 120 00:07:37,399 --> 00:07:41,680 suspended Milwaukee County Circuit Court judge Hannah Dugan for pulling 121 00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:44,639 a Dugan for doing a Dugan. She was arrested by 122 00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:48,600 the FBI charged last week for allegedly helping an undocumented immigrant. 123 00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:52,600 There you go, this is ABC news. An undocumented immigrant 124 00:07:52,959 --> 00:08:00,000 evade arrest. The state Supreme Court did this. She's facing 125 00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:03,160 ueeing two federal criminal offenses, one of which is a 126 00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:07,680 felony and one is a misdemeanor. The Supreme Court said, quote, 127 00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:12,800 this court is charged in the Wisconsin Constitution with exercising 128 00:08:13,319 --> 00:08:17,120 superintending and administrative authority over the courts of this State 129 00:08:17,759 --> 00:08:22,360 in the exercise of that constitutional authority, and in order 130 00:08:22,399 --> 00:08:24,759 to uphold the public's confidence in the courts of this 131 00:08:24,879 --> 00:08:29,040 State during the pendency of the criminal proceeding against Judge Dugan, 132 00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:32,320 we conclude on our own motion that it is in 133 00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:35,720 the public interest that she be temporarily relieved of her 134 00:08:35,799 --> 00:08:40,879 official duties. She was charged with two counts of obstructing 135 00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:45,320 and impeding a proceeding before a department or agency of 136 00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:49,679 the United States, and concealing an individual to prevent his 137 00:08:49,799 --> 00:08:54,559 discovery and arrest. That's according to the criminal complaint. Her attorney, 138 00:08:55,159 --> 00:08:59,600 former US Attorney Stephen Biskupich, said that the judge will 139 00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:03,720 quote defend herself vigorously and looks forward to being exonerated. 140 00:09:06,919 --> 00:09:09,639 I'm not so sure about that. Judge Hannah Dugan has 141 00:09:09,639 --> 00:09:12,600 committed herself to the rule of law and the principles 142 00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:15,480 of due process for her entire career as a lawyer 143 00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:19,600 and a judge. But that's the thing. The victims were 144 00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:23,960 there in the courtroom for this proceeding that was then 145 00:09:24,039 --> 00:09:28,559 short circuited because the judge obstructed it. That's not due process. 146 00:09:28,879 --> 00:09:32,679 Those victims didn't get due process. They got they got 147 00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:35,840 their butts kicked by some guy that you then helped 148 00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:42,039 to escort out the back door. They didn't get due process. 149 00:09:43,519 --> 00:09:46,639 If convicted on these charges, Judge Dugan could face up 150 00:09:46,639 --> 00:09:50,000 to six years in prison.

Five to one? 363 00:19:17,920 --> 00:19:18,720 What does that mean. 364 00:19:19,759 --> 00:19:22,759 Speaker 6: About how much money they get compared to what we 365 00:19:22,799 --> 00:19:23,680 get in trading? 366 00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:26,960 Speaker 1: So you're okay, so you're saying you're talking about a 367 00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:27,680 trade deficit. 368 00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:30,240 Speaker 6: Yes, no trade deficit. 369 00:19:30,519 --> 00:19:32,960 Speaker 1: So but you realize, like on a trade deficit. I 370 00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:35,240 mean like when you go to the grocery store, you 371 00:19:35,319 --> 00:19:40,359 run a trade deficit with the grocery store. You're giving 372 00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:45,599 them money and they don't give you money. 373 00:19:46,160 --> 00:19:46,720 Speaker 2: Listen to this. 374 00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:51,079 Speaker 6: I grew up. I grew up in a town. I 375 00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:54,480 retired from the Marine Corps, so I served this country 376 00:19:54,480 --> 00:20:00,799 for twenty six years. And the thing is, I'll tell 377 00:20:00,799 --> 00:20:05,839 you exactly the town cliff Side, North Carolina. All those meals, 378 00:20:05,880 --> 00:20:07,720 and people say, well, you don't want to work for 379 00:20:07,799 --> 00:20:12,079 those places. All those jobs are gone. Every one of 380 00:20:12,079 --> 00:20:15,079 those jobs are gone, all the wooden and everybody says, well, 381 00:20:15,119 --> 00:20:20,640 you know you'll get better jobs. What better jobs if 382 00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:24,359 you didn't have a college degree? What better jobs? Walmart? 383 00:20:25,599 --> 00:20:28,920 Is that what you're saying? And stuff? So I mean, no, 384 00:20:29,599 --> 00:20:32,640 that's not it and stuff. What I'm saying as far 385 00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:36,920 as the deficit and stuff. What about Europe? They have 386 00:20:37,119 --> 00:20:41,960 no cars in Europe, Germany and places like that that's 387 00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:46,079 made from America. How's that power? And I understand that 388 00:20:46,240 --> 00:20:50,880 some of those companies came to America, like Japan. Japan's 389 00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:56,359 done pretty good as far as like a Nisan and Toyota, 390 00:20:56,559 --> 00:21:04,440 because there's not Chevrolet and poured, not even fifty percent 391 00:21:04,559 --> 00:21:10,599 of the course. It's only one vehicle, the American vehicle. 392 00:21:10,799 --> 00:21:17,160 It's Jeep that's made into top ten. The only other 393 00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:22,440 ones what's his name? Everybody hates and stuff, the electric 394 00:21:22,559 --> 00:21:27,839 cards and stuff. That is the only one there. It 395 00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:32,920 makes me wonder what Americans are thinking. Does it matter, 396 00:21:33,279 --> 00:21:37,160 pat your next generation? Are you going to be like 397 00:21:37,799 --> 00:21:43,039 you're gonna owe other countries like China? I mean, for example, 398 00:21:43,079 --> 00:21:48,200 when there's the next thing that happens, we can't take 399 00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:51,559 care of our own country. We got the number one 400 00:21:51,599 --> 00:21:56,640 economy in the world. Why don't we set around and 401 00:21:56,759 --> 00:22:00,599 ask other countries to take care of us? For saying 402 00:22:00,759 --> 00:22:04,759 another example, you know what, you know what Canada pays 403 00:22:04,799 --> 00:22:10,680 on their military one four percent? What about what about 404 00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:14,559 all the Europeans other than the Eastern Europeans? Like holy, 405 00:22:15,759 --> 00:22:16,160 how's well? 406 00:22:16,319 --> 00:22:16,680 Speaker 5: Okay? 407 00:22:17,799 --> 00:22:20,400 Speaker 6: Why does America have to take care of the world? 408 00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:24,799 Why do we have to say that? And especially says 409 00:22:24,839 --> 00:22:29,880 i's in the Marines we risk our lives while they're 410 00:22:29,920 --> 00:22:33,319 saying on basis is that okay? 411 00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:38,839 Speaker 1: So okay, Danny, you've asked. I feel like you're you're 412 00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:41,839 asking questions in the form of an argument. But you're 413 00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:45,920 not actually making an argument with evidence for me. I 414 00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:49,960 understand you've got these questions that you're asking, but you've 415 00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:52,680 asked so many of them, I can't address all of them. 416 00:22:52,759 --> 00:22:55,920 So would you like to pick one particular question and 417 00:22:55,960 --> 00:22:59,680 we can we can examine that, like one specific thing. 418 00:23:01,319 --> 00:23:04,799 Speaker 6: Why is why does the world not protect him sales? 419 00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:07,480 Okaycause America I have to protect them, Okay. 420 00:23:07,559 --> 00:23:10,480 Speaker 1: So I think this is the leftover from the post 421 00:23:10,480 --> 00:23:14,839 World War two order that was set up that guarantee, 422 00:23:14,880 --> 00:23:16,799 I mean, and the other countries were in no condition 423 00:23:17,359 --> 00:23:19,920 or position to be able to do that at the time, 424 00:23:20,119 --> 00:23:23,200 and America filled that void, right, And then of course 425 00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:25,640 you've got the Cold War, and so we built up 426 00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:29,440 and it was a bipolar arrangement where you have the 427 00:23:29,519 --> 00:23:33,200 Soviets and you have America, and you know, we had 428 00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:35,079 our friends, they had their friends kind of a deal 429 00:23:35,599 --> 00:23:36,039 when the. 430 00:23:36,079 --> 00:23:39,279 Speaker 6: Soviet let me, can I ask you, okay? 431 00:23:39,559 --> 00:23:45,640 Speaker 1: Yeah? For example, you crying, this is another topic. 432 00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:47,720 Speaker 6: Now, no it's not. 433 00:23:48,079 --> 00:23:49,279 Speaker 3: It's a fine. 434 00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:51,880 Speaker 6: Let's take take care of our own people. 435 00:23:52,839 --> 00:23:57,359 Speaker 1: Well you crying, well, but you asked why, okay, all right, go. 436 00:23:57,359 --> 00:24:05,480 Speaker 6: Ahead, Germany, it's buying buying gas and all from Russia 437 00:24:05,960 --> 00:24:09,519 and waited two for a while, and they're actually buying 438 00:24:09,519 --> 00:24:13,759 more ole in gas from Russia, okay than they're actually 439 00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:15,839 going to help you cry. 440 00:24:16,279 --> 00:24:17,240 Speaker 1: Okay, So I. 441 00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:19,599 Speaker 6: Mean, how does that work? How about India? 442 00:24:19,640 --> 00:24:21,160 Speaker 1: How about you go to go to Indiana? 443 00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:23,200 Speaker 6: All these other countries. 444 00:24:22,839 --> 00:24:25,559 Speaker 1: Again, Danny, I'm trying to limit the conversation because we've 445 00:24:25,559 --> 00:24:29,160 now gone through five and almost six minutes. You've thrown 446 00:24:29,200 --> 00:24:31,440 out I think like probably about twenty percent of the 447 00:24:31,440 --> 00:24:33,839 countries on the planet. I'm trying to I'm trying to 448 00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:35,960 limit this down, and I don't have time to now 449 00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:39,119 address really any of it because you've thrown so much 450 00:24:39,119 --> 00:24:41,759 stuff out there. I thought it was about the economy 451 00:24:41,799 --> 00:24:43,720 and about the trade and tariff stuff, but then we 452 00:24:43,799 --> 00:24:47,920 pivoted over to national security and the global order. And look, 453 00:24:48,559 --> 00:24:51,480 Douglas Murray said this, and I think he's exactly right. 454 00:24:51,559 --> 00:24:55,400 America needs to determine whether or not, you know, it 455 00:24:55,480 --> 00:25:01,839 wants to be the loan superpower or it wants to 456 00:25:01,920 --> 00:25:05,440 just remove itself from all foreign entanglements, because you can't 457 00:25:05,440 --> 00:25:09,440 do both. Can't do both. You can't say we want 458 00:25:09,440 --> 00:25:11,319 to be the most powerful and be everywhere and do 459 00:25:11,359 --> 00:25:13,160 all of this stuff. And then, by the way, if 460 00:25:13,160 --> 00:25:14,720 you're going to say we want to step away and 461 00:25:14,759 --> 00:25:17,440 we don't want to do that, then I would also 462 00:25:17,480 --> 00:25:21,559 be curious who do you think fills that vacuum, because 463 00:25:21,759 --> 00:25:24,480 somebody will And my bed is it's China. And I 464 00:25:24,559 --> 00:25:27,079 bet China would love nothing more than to be the 465 00:25:27,119 --> 00:25:30,400 world's policeman. I have no doubt about that whatsoever. But 466 00:25:30,480 --> 00:25:32,680 you're not going to like the way that they enforce 467 00:25:33,079 --> 00:25:36,920 their set of rules. But I don't know anybody else. 468 00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:39,759 I don't trust anybody else any other country on the 469 00:25:39,759 --> 00:25:42,880 planet to do what we do. I really don't. But 470 00:25:42,960 --> 00:25:45,240 I appreciate the call. Thank you for your service too, Danny. 471 00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:48,200 All right, So spring is here a time of renewal 472 00:25:48,319 --> 00:25:52,839 and celebrations.

Tyota came here and they 502 00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:41,839 set up huge factories and sold all their cars, you know, 503 00:27:41,960 --> 00:27:46,960 under the Tyota name. But we actually do build cars 504 00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:50,279 in Germany and sell them there. I owned one. It 505 00:27:50,359 --> 00:27:54,240 was a Ford Taunus and I was stationed there for 506 00:27:54,319 --> 00:27:57,720 three years from seventy nine to eighty two. And I 507 00:27:57,799 --> 00:27:59,279 love my little Ford Taunis. 508 00:27:59,279 --> 00:27:59,920 Speaker 3: It was awesome. 509 00:28:00,480 --> 00:28:02,680 Speaker 1: So it's the same thing with BMW Right. I mean, 510 00:28:02,720 --> 00:28:05,319 that's a quote German car, but it's made in South Carolina. 511 00:28:06,440 --> 00:28:09,200 Speaker 5: Yeah, right up the road, the road from Gastonia. 512 00:28:09,279 --> 00:28:12,519 Speaker 1: Yeah. So yeah, And that's the thing when talking about 513 00:28:12,759 --> 00:28:18,640 international trade things, it is very very complicated based on 514 00:28:19,400 --> 00:28:23,960 all sorts of factors, from you know, the raw material inputs, 515 00:28:24,039 --> 00:28:28,079 to the manufacturing locations, to the type of industry. It 516 00:28:28,279 --> 00:28:31,519 is the specifications and that, like tariffs, is one part 517 00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:36,039 of this much more complex system. 518 00:28:36,480 --> 00:28:38,359 Speaker 5: Yeah, licensing agreements, you know. 519 00:28:38,680 --> 00:28:41,799 Speaker 1: Yeah, Yeah, there's there there's a lot of stuff. Yeah, 520 00:28:41,839 --> 00:28:44,559 and like yeah, and there's just there's a lot of stuff. 521 00:28:44,559 --> 00:28:46,759 And I but I understand and what what Danny was 522 00:28:46,839 --> 00:28:49,480 king on initially, which is where I thought we were 523 00:28:49,480 --> 00:28:51,400 going to have the conversation. Where it was going to 524 00:28:51,559 --> 00:28:55,720 go to was the you know, the the restoration of 525 00:28:56,440 --> 00:29:01,920 industry manufacturing in America, because there are a lot of 526 00:29:01,960 --> 00:29:06,680 these small towns that were set up around manufacturing facilities 527 00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:09,960 that when those facilities went belly up or moved overseas, 528 00:29:10,319 --> 00:29:14,799 the towns were decimated. And like, and I understand that 529 00:29:14,960 --> 00:29:18,880 I've talked about that very topic a few times, particularly 530 00:29:18,960 --> 00:29:22,559 after Trump's tariff announcements, so I thought that's where he 531 00:29:22,680 --> 00:29:25,279 was going with it, and like, those scars are real. 532 00:29:27,640 --> 00:29:31,400 But this idea that we're going to bring back paper 533 00:29:31,480 --> 00:29:34,319 mills and people are going to go and take these 534 00:29:34,759 --> 00:29:38,160 line jobs, these factory line jobs that for the most 535 00:29:38,200 --> 00:29:40,680 part don't really exist any longer. I mean, and I 536 00:29:40,720 --> 00:29:43,519 said this quote or this stat the other day, there 537 00:29:43,559 --> 00:29:46,119 are right now, every single month in America half a 538 00:29:46,160 --> 00:29:51,440 million manufacturing jobs that are unfilled. So like Americans, these 539 00:29:51,519 --> 00:29:54,039 jobs do exist, but a lot of Americans don't want 540 00:29:54,079 --> 00:29:55,160 the jobs. 541 00:29:56,279 --> 00:29:59,039 Speaker 5: You know, last week you were lamenting on the same 542 00:29:59,079 --> 00:30:02,559 thing you just said. And I work in a factory. 543 00:30:02,599 --> 00:30:05,400 I work in a production facility. It's a half production 544 00:30:05,519 --> 00:30:10,079 facility and a half storage facility. And we brought in 545 00:30:10,200 --> 00:30:14,480 the big boys from corporate last week and they are 546 00:30:14,599 --> 00:30:17,000 scrambling to try to figure out how to get around 547 00:30:17,640 --> 00:30:21,319 the tariffs right now. Oh I bet it is a 548 00:30:21,599 --> 00:30:25,079 huge corporation. And I'm not prounding myself on the back 549 00:30:25,119 --> 00:30:28,720 because I'm just a part time guy. I'm retired, and 550 00:30:29,200 --> 00:30:33,119 uh man, they are literally scrambling to try to figure 551 00:30:33,119 --> 00:30:37,359 out how to because our company has got fingers in 552 00:30:37,640 --> 00:30:41,839 all Canada, Mexico, Europe, all over the place. We get 553 00:30:41,920 --> 00:30:44,920 a lot of our stuff from Poland and we bring 554 00:30:44,960 --> 00:30:47,200 it here and assimilate and then send it back out 555 00:30:47,240 --> 00:30:50,440 to other countries. And so now they're trying to figure 556 00:30:50,480 --> 00:30:51,720 out how to get away from all. 557 00:30:51,640 --> 00:30:54,359 Speaker 1: That stuff, right and yeah, I mean some of the stuff. 558 00:30:54,599 --> 00:30:59,440 If you're importing raw material that is not mineable basically 559 00:30:59,519 --> 00:31:01,640 in America, like then what do you do? 560 00:31:01,960 --> 00:31:02,079 Speaker 2: Uh? 561 00:31:02,559 --> 00:31:06,319 Speaker 1: And and what happens if you start trying to reorganize 562 00:31:06,359 --> 00:31:10,599 your entire operation around what you think the tariff structure 563 00:31:10,880 --> 00:31:14,359 is and then a week later you get an announcement 564 00:31:14,400 --> 00:31:16,640 that says, Okay, the tariffs are now suspended or we're 565 00:31:16,640 --> 00:31:18,920 going to do something different with that area or industry 566 00:31:19,039 --> 00:31:23,960 or something. This uncertainty is just a killer for for 567 00:31:23,960 --> 00:31:28,200 for business planning and future outlook and stuff. So it's 568 00:31:28,240 --> 00:31:30,839 a it's a problem. It's a very big problem that 569 00:31:30,880 --> 00:31:31,519 he has caused. 570 00:31:32,599 --> 00:31:34,960 Speaker 5: But but let me make one point to you, and 571 00:31:35,160 --> 00:31:37,480 I know this is going to contradict some of your 572 00:31:37,960 --> 00:31:40,240 some of the way you're feeling about this and some 573 00:31:40,279 --> 00:31:44,519 of your narratives, but we literally cannot keep enough people. 574 00:31:44,720 --> 00:31:48,880 We have a we have an open door coming and 575 00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:53,079 chill out, an application, go online, whatever, and we can't 576 00:31:53,200 --> 00:31:55,720 keep people. We can't keep them. They don't want to 577 00:31:55,759 --> 00:31:59,359 work like that anymore, right, And there's there's probably tens 578 00:31:59,359 --> 00:32:01,720 of thousands of jobs like that out dur in this country. 579 00:32:01,920 --> 00:32:02,079 Speaker 1: Oh. 580 00:32:02,119 --> 00:32:05,079 Speaker 5: I agree, people have gotten spoiled and they don't want. 581 00:32:04,880 --> 00:32:05,839 Speaker 2: To work for a living. 582 00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:10,400 Speaker 1: I completely agree. Yeah, No, I completely agree. I don't 583 00:32:10,440 --> 00:32:11,960 think that's why I said there are half a million 584 00:32:12,160 --> 00:32:16,000 unfilled manufacturing jobs every month. Americans don't want to do 585 00:32:16,319 --> 00:32:18,319 a lot of this kind of work. That people think 586 00:32:18,359 --> 00:32:21,920 like there's this sort of nostalgia for the good old days. 587 00:32:21,960 --> 00:32:24,839 And I don't even think it's about the actual jobs 588 00:32:24,960 --> 00:32:28,160 or the factory work itself. I think it is a 589 00:32:28,319 --> 00:32:32,319 concept that I can, you know, get out of high school, 590 00:32:32,480 --> 00:32:35,480 no college, go to work at some place and then 591 00:32:35,519 --> 00:32:39,079 make enough money to afford a house, a car, a family. Like. 592 00:32:39,119 --> 00:32:42,920 I think that's the thing that people are are are 593 00:32:42,960 --> 00:32:46,759 nostalgic for more so than the actual work of the 594 00:32:46,960 --> 00:32:49,960 of the job. Does that make sense, yes, sir. 595 00:32:50,359 --> 00:32:53,880 Speaker 5: And there's great jobs out there in the manufacturing fields. 596 00:32:53,920 --> 00:32:55,960 You can make a living. You can, oh yeah, family, 597 00:32:56,359 --> 00:32:58,720 but you've got to be willing to show up on time, 598 00:32:58,880 --> 00:33:02,920 on target and right and produce something. It's not sitting 599 00:33:03,000 --> 00:33:05,279 at a desk playing on your keyboard. 600 00:33:05,480 --> 00:33:05,720 Speaker 1: Yeah. 601 00:33:05,720 --> 00:33:12,559 Speaker 5: You know when Obama said to the popeline workers, well 602 00:33:12,559 --> 00:33:15,079 you need to learn how to code. How are you 603 00:33:15,160 --> 00:33:17,440 going to take a pipeline welder or something like that 604 00:33:17,640 --> 00:33:19,640 and telling him to learn how to code? 605 00:33:19,640 --> 00:33:22,440 Speaker 1: Come on, man, Yeah, no, I agree, it doesn't work. Yeah, 606 00:33:22,480 --> 00:33:26,240 well I appreciate the call. Man. Yeah, I appreciate your call. 607 00:33:26,240 --> 00:33:28,440 I got to run. Yeah, thank you. No, it's great insight. 608 00:33:28,480 --> 00:33:30,880 And thank you also for your service too to the country. 609 00:33:31,839 --> 00:33:34,440 And I said, I laid this out two weeks ago. 610 00:33:34,720 --> 00:33:36,920 I said, if this whole radio thing doesn't work out, 611 00:33:37,400 --> 00:33:42,440 I've got two or three manufacturers within half a mile 612 00:33:42,480 --> 00:33:45,039 of my house. That's where I would be going to go. 613 00:33:45,079 --> 00:33:50,880 Get work, because contrary to popular belief, we don't get 614 00:33:50,880 --> 00:33:53,359 paid millions of dollars to do this. I could probably 615 00:33:53,400 --> 00:33:57,079 make more money going to work on the line. You know, Wait, 616 00:33:57,119 --> 00:33:59,559 where are my producers going? Wait, come back, guys, come back. No, 617 00:34:00,599 --> 00:34:04,240 I'm kidding, they're still here. Now. It's a matter of 618 00:34:04,640 --> 00:34:07,480 do you have a work ethic to do it? And people, 619 00:34:07,559 --> 00:34:09,159 I think a lot of people think that they are 620 00:34:09,239 --> 00:34:13,400 quote too good to do certain kinds of work, and 621 00:34:13,440 --> 00:34:16,360 as well just said they're spoiled. Yeah, it's a work 622 00:34:16,400 --> 00:34:19,480 ethic thing, and they're like, I shouldn't have to do that. 623 00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:22,920 And part of that is also based on what their 624 00:34:22,960 --> 00:34:25,960 parents and grandparents told them, which was go to college, 625 00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:28,119 get a degree, so you don't have to do this 626 00:34:28,199 --> 00:34:31,320 work that I've been doing. I want better for you. 627 00:34:31,480 --> 00:34:35,920 And they believe that this whole issue is way more 628 00:34:35,960 --> 00:34:39,760 complex than just you know, we're running a trade deficit 629 00:34:39,840 --> 00:34:42,719 with country X, so therefore we need to slap a 630 00:34:42,840 --> 00:34:46,559 terif on them. It's way more complex. All right, that'll 631 00:34:46,559 --> 00:34:49,239 do it for this episode. Thank you so much for listening. 632 00:34:49,360 --> 00:34:51,480 I could not do the show without your support and 633 00:34:51,519 --> 00:34:54,239 the support of the businesses that advertise on the podcast. 634 00:34:54,599 --> 00:34:56,679 So if you'd like, please support them too and tell 635 00:34:56,719 --> 00:34:58,440 them you heard it here.
