WEBVTT 1 00:00:09.800 --> 00:00:13.320 Good evening, everyone, and welcome to another edition of The 2 00:00:13.359 --> 00:00:16.480 Cajun Night Live. I am your host, Jacob Mook the 3 00:00:16.640 --> 00:00:19.440 Cajun Night and Man, I gotta tell you last week, 4 00:00:19.480 --> 00:00:22.600 I didn't necessarily expect the conversation to go into all 5 00:00:22.600 --> 00:00:24.320 of the depths that it did, but I'm very happy 6 00:00:24.320 --> 00:00:26.480 that it did, and I'm very happy to let the 7 00:00:26.480 --> 00:00:30.039 conversation go that way tonight. But before we do that, 8 00:00:30.519 --> 00:00:34.159 we do have to talk about some current events for 9 00:00:34.320 --> 00:00:37.439 just a little minute. I don't know if anybody has 10 00:00:37.479 --> 00:00:40.679 been paying attention to what's been going on this past week, 11 00:00:41.479 --> 00:00:43.640 but there's a few things in particular that I think 12 00:00:43.679 --> 00:00:46.600 we do need to discuss, maybe not at length, but 13 00:00:46.679 --> 00:00:48.759 at least talk about, right, So I'm gonna go ahead 14 00:00:48.759 --> 00:00:51.119 and share the screen at this time for anybody who 15 00:00:51.159 --> 00:00:53.560 would like to be a part of The Cajun Night Live. 16 00:00:53.600 --> 00:00:55.560 If you're listening to this on Thursday, because this is 17 00:00:55.560 --> 00:00:58.280 gonna drop immediately after we record it, then come check 18 00:00:58.280 --> 00:01:01.320 out the Cajun Night on page. That is the only 19 00:01:01.320 --> 00:01:03.479 place to see the videos for this, and also it 20 00:01:03.520 --> 00:01:05.439 is the only place to join in on the conversation. 21 00:01:05.959 --> 00:01:09.159 So we appreciate, or I say we Jesus soundly, Jonathan. 22 00:01:09.519 --> 00:01:12.000 I appreciate everybody who's done so so that they could 23 00:01:12.000 --> 00:01:14.120 be a part of this conversation and help grow the 24 00:01:14.159 --> 00:01:16.560 Caje to Night in its own you know, respect and 25 00:01:16.599 --> 00:01:18.280 write so real. 26 00:01:18.159 --> 00:01:21.280 Quick before we get started onto anything this week. 27 00:01:21.359 --> 00:01:23.920 I thought that this was worth mentioning something that happened 28 00:01:23.959 --> 00:01:29.000 last week. So apparently Ukrainian bombers quote unquote it was 29 00:01:29.000 --> 00:01:32.840 a drone struck a Russian air base and with that 30 00:01:33.000 --> 00:01:37.719 led to this massive mushroom cloud, and everybody was concerned 31 00:01:37.760 --> 00:01:41.120 that Russia was storing nukes on this airstrip so that 32 00:01:41.159 --> 00:01:45.599 it could potentially drop nuclear warheads on Ukraine via plane. 33 00:01:45.719 --> 00:01:49.239 I find that weird because a nobody drops nukes from 34 00:01:49.239 --> 00:01:53.680 planes anymore. That's that's really bad radiation wise. But I digress. 35 00:01:54.079 --> 00:01:56.519 The other conversation was that maybe they had, you know, 36 00:01:56.560 --> 00:01:58.519 some nuclear weapons that were stored there, like you know, 37 00:01:58.560 --> 00:02:01.159 missile silos and things like that. Okay, it's a little 38 00:02:01.159 --> 00:02:04.120 more believable. And you know, when you see these pictures 39 00:02:04.560 --> 00:02:08.400 of Ingles Airbase deep inside of Russia was hit overnight 40 00:02:08.400 --> 00:02:09.560 by Ukrainian drone. 41 00:02:09.360 --> 00:02:13.120 Strike, the mushroom clouds are a bit ominous. 42 00:02:12.639 --> 00:02:16.080 Right, I'm honestly, I was perplexed by it, and it 43 00:02:16.120 --> 00:02:18.759 didn't sound completely crazy, out of the realm of possibility 44 00:02:18.800 --> 00:02:22.280 for Russia to be storing nuclear weapons just in case 45 00:02:22.400 --> 00:02:25.400 things went too too crazy. They were like ready to 46 00:02:25.439 --> 00:02:28.199 get after it right. It says the air base is 47 00:02:28.199 --> 00:02:31.159 about seven hundred kilometers from the front lines and it 48 00:02:31.280 --> 00:02:35.800 hosts Russian Tupi lev Tu one sixty nuclear capable heavy 49 00:02:35.840 --> 00:02:40.080 strategic bombers. Again, I didn't realize that anybody was dropping 50 00:02:40.159 --> 00:02:42.680 nukes out of bombers or planes anymore. I thought that 51 00:02:42.759 --> 00:02:45.280 kind of went by the wayside after all World War Two. 52 00:02:45.759 --> 00:02:49.520 But apparently in Mother Russia, you know, they still be 53 00:02:49.560 --> 00:02:52.400 doing things like that. They're still using those type of 54 00:02:52.400 --> 00:02:54.159 tactics if you look at their front line and trench 55 00:02:54.199 --> 00:02:57.319 warfare things. But neither here nor there. Russia has now 56 00:02:57.319 --> 00:02:59.840 declared a state of emergency in the Ingles district. Following 57 00:02:59.840 --> 00:03:02.840 the explosion, a Ukraine hit a warehouse holding missiles at 58 00:03:02.840 --> 00:03:05.599 the air base, reports claim, with ten people injured in 59 00:03:05.639 --> 00:03:09.960 the blast. Footage appeared to show multiple munitions flying away 60 00:03:09.960 --> 00:03:12.879 from the blast as they caught fire in a second explosion. 61 00:03:13.479 --> 00:03:16.639 Locals claimed the strikes had hit an ammunition depot crammed 62 00:03:16.639 --> 00:03:19.719 with the missiles and fuel which had triggered the huge explosion. 63 00:03:19.840 --> 00:03:22.479 The smoke could be seen from miles away, with residential 64 00:03:22.520 --> 00:03:26.360 homes damaged by the shockwave. An urgent evacuation of civilians 65 00:03:26.360 --> 00:03:30.240 for safety reasons quote unquote was reportedly ordered, and the 66 00:03:30.319 --> 00:03:33.599 closure of schools in the area, including Saratov City. After 67 00:03:33.639 --> 00:03:36.599 a four am attack, the local governor said there had 68 00:03:36.639 --> 00:03:39.439 been a Ukrainian drone attack on the town of Ingles. 69 00:03:39.639 --> 00:03:43.800 So right, understood, got you. Now, there was one video, 70 00:03:43.840 --> 00:03:46.280 and I hope it's loading here. There's one video that 71 00:03:46.319 --> 00:03:50.159 I wanted to show of this dude had a barn 72 00:03:50.479 --> 00:03:53.080 or a shed or something like that, and you could 73 00:03:53.080 --> 00:03:55.960 see the rattle of the explosion. Of course it's not 74 00:03:56.000 --> 00:03:57.800 going to be on this one. That would make too 75 00:03:57.879 --> 00:04:01.159 much sense. Oh well, it'd be like that. I do 76 00:04:01.199 --> 00:04:04.479 have multiple articles pulled upon this one, so we would 77 00:04:04.520 --> 00:04:07.159 at least see something more with it. But all right, 78 00:04:07.199 --> 00:04:09.319 So everybody thought that it was a nuke that got hit, 79 00:04:09.719 --> 00:04:17.360 and again from the mushroom cloud, that's not the craziest possibility. However, However, 80 00:04:18.199 --> 00:04:20.759 upon further review, I don't believe that it was a 81 00:04:21.399 --> 00:04:24.879 nuclear anything that actually got hit. I do believe that 82 00:04:24.920 --> 00:04:27.759 it was Russian munitions for sure, but there was no 83 00:04:27.879 --> 00:04:32.079 radiation fallout. The people were evacuated for multiple reasons, but 84 00:04:32.199 --> 00:04:34.639 nothing that would systemically tell me that it was something 85 00:04:34.639 --> 00:04:38.920 of a nuclear variety. Here this is from the TWZ newsletter, 86 00:04:39.639 --> 00:04:42.279 and I do believe this is actually yeah, no, it's 87 00:04:42.279 --> 00:04:44.319 not a Russian publication. I forget what it's from, but no, 88 00:04:44.680 --> 00:04:47.839 it says Russian bomber base suffered major damage to munitions 89 00:04:47.879 --> 00:04:52.399 area in Ukrainian drone attack. Satellite imagery obtained by the 90 00:04:52.439 --> 00:04:55.639 war Zone confirms that ammunition and weapons storage bunkers at 91 00:04:55.720 --> 00:04:59.160 Russia's Ingles Air Base were destroying a Ukrainian drone attack 92 00:04:59.199 --> 00:05:02.000 on Thursday. The attack resulted in a massive fireball and 93 00:05:02.160 --> 00:05:07.519 mushroom cloud. The high resolution images taken today by Maxar Technologies, 94 00:05:07.560 --> 00:05:09.800 and by today I mean as of a week ago. 95 00:05:09.959 --> 00:05:11.600 So I had this one pulled up for last week, 96 00:05:11.639 --> 00:05:14.160 but we got way off into the weeds on religious conversations, 97 00:05:14.160 --> 00:05:16.800 which is fun, which is fun. Shows most of the 98 00:05:16.839 --> 00:05:19.879 damage occurred at a storage area about a mile east 99 00:05:19.879 --> 00:05:22.439 of the runway. At least a dozen storage facilities and 100 00:05:22.480 --> 00:05:24.920 other nearby buildings were destroyed in the attack, and it 101 00:05:25.000 --> 00:05:28.199 also created several large craters. The severe damage was caused 102 00:05:28.199 --> 00:05:32.160 by massive secondary explosions when the drones detonated explosive ordnance 103 00:05:32.199 --> 00:05:37.000 stored there, targeting munition storage areas for their second effects. Yeah, 104 00:05:37.120 --> 00:05:39.279 for their secondary effects. Is a common tact to used 105 00:05:39.279 --> 00:05:42.800 by both sides of the war, employing standoff weaponry. Okay, 106 00:05:42.879 --> 00:05:45.839 so again agreed all the stuff. That's not a crazy 107 00:05:45.839 --> 00:05:48.560 concept again that yes, you would want to hit weapons 108 00:05:48.560 --> 00:05:53.800 and storage depots. This is a video of the mushroom 109 00:05:53.839 --> 00:05:56.360 cloud as it was going up in the airs. If 110 00:05:56.360 --> 00:05:58.160 you're just chilling and you didn't even know that that 111 00:05:58.240 --> 00:06:00.839 kind of munitions were being stored there, and you see 112 00:06:00.839 --> 00:06:05.000 that kind of mushroom cloud flying up, I get the hesitation, right, 113 00:06:05.120 --> 00:06:08.879 I get why people would think that maybe something nuclear 114 00:06:08.959 --> 00:06:12.480 was going down, especially when you see other videos of 115 00:06:12.759 --> 00:06:14.399 all right, this is the one. This is the one, So. 116 00:06:16.360 --> 00:06:24.160 This is pretty crazy. Probably should have turned down the 117 00:06:24.240 --> 00:06:25.040 volume on that one. 118 00:06:25.079 --> 00:06:29.319 My apologies everybody, but yeah, so that was the instant 119 00:06:29.360 --> 00:06:33.040 where the bomb went off or the strike happened, and 120 00:06:33.079 --> 00:06:36.360 then the secondary exploses or whatever. Homeboys farmhouse and he 121 00:06:36.480 --> 00:06:38.680 just had a regular you know security camera on it 122 00:06:38.720 --> 00:06:40.600 you see the flash from the bomb and then the 123 00:06:40.680 --> 00:06:44.439 shockwave hits the building. So some people were speculating that 124 00:06:44.519 --> 00:06:47.800 Russia was preparing to drop nukes on Ukraine. 125 00:06:48.759 --> 00:06:51.800 It has since been understood that that is not accurate. 126 00:06:52.160 --> 00:06:57.040 There was some nuclear capable bombers that were being stored there, 127 00:06:57.519 --> 00:06:59.639 and there were some high power munitions. A lot of 128 00:06:59.680 --> 00:07:04.040 the time when Russian air when Russian air assets do 129 00:07:04.160 --> 00:07:06.199 bomb Ukraine, a lot of the time, they do come 130 00:07:06.240 --> 00:07:08.560 from angles, or at least they used to anyway. Right, So, 131 00:07:09.160 --> 00:07:11.240 all right, I understand why they thought that this was 132 00:07:11.279 --> 00:07:14.240 a nuclear attack or something that nuclear that went off. 133 00:07:14.600 --> 00:07:16.920 It is not, It is not. It was a very 134 00:07:16.959 --> 00:07:19.639 successful drone strike by Ukraine. But I did at least 135 00:07:19.680 --> 00:07:22.680 want to have that conversation. Everybody thought it was nukes. 136 00:07:23.040 --> 00:07:27.519 It's not, but it was a very very successful attack. Now, 137 00:07:27.519 --> 00:07:30.759 with all of that being said, there's some other stuff 138 00:07:30.800 --> 00:07:34.519 going on this week that I really really wanted to 139 00:07:34.920 --> 00:07:37.480 get in and break down and all the things and 140 00:07:37.519 --> 00:07:41.040 all the stuff before we even talk about Trump and 141 00:07:41.079 --> 00:07:43.920 the tariffs and all these things. A guy named Corey 142 00:07:43.959 --> 00:07:46.639 Booker Gay He's a Democrat out of New Jersey. If 143 00:07:46.680 --> 00:07:50.079 I'm not mistaken. Oh yes, that's right here, he broke 144 00:07:50.199 --> 00:07:54.800 the all time record for longest speech. Yeah, I mean, 145 00:07:55.519 --> 00:07:59.560 all joking aside and all whatever. It's really impressive that 146 00:07:59.600 --> 00:08:02.360 this guy was able to speak for twenty five hours 147 00:08:02.399 --> 00:08:07.360 and five minutes without stopping. Like I mean, I understand 148 00:08:07.399 --> 00:08:10.879 filibusters are not you know, useful or whatever, but just 149 00:08:10.959 --> 00:08:13.720 for the going the distance of it, right, the Guinness 150 00:08:13.720 --> 00:08:16.959 Book of World Records, if you will of it, this 151 00:08:17.079 --> 00:08:20.240 guy really did his homework. And with that being said, 152 00:08:20.959 --> 00:08:23.480 I think it's worth noting. It's worth mentioning, it's worth 153 00:08:23.519 --> 00:08:25.399 giving at least that tip of the cap, you know. 154 00:08:26.000 --> 00:08:28.839 Corey Booker's long speech. By the numbers, this is going 155 00:08:28.879 --> 00:08:30.439 to be a breakdown of everything that was said and 156 00:08:30.480 --> 00:08:34.720 done overall. He breaks the record for the longest Senate 157 00:08:34.720 --> 00:08:37.799 floor speech in history. This is on April first, actually 158 00:08:37.840 --> 00:08:39.799 April Fools Days, when this was written. 159 00:08:40.480 --> 00:08:41.080 Washington, d C. 160 00:08:41.440 --> 00:08:44.559 United States. Senator Corey Booker, a Democrat from New Jersey, 161 00:08:44.639 --> 00:08:47.080 hailed the Senate floor with a marathon speech that began 162 00:08:47.120 --> 00:08:51.279 at seven pm Eastern Standard time Monday evening and lasted 163 00:08:51.360 --> 00:08:55.639 until Tuesday night, after twenty five hours and five minutes, 164 00:08:55.720 --> 00:08:59.879 speaking directly to the American people, Senator Booker broke the 165 00:09:00.159 --> 00:09:04.320 record for longest individual floor speech ever delivered, surpassing the 166 00:09:04.360 --> 00:09:07.679 previous record set by storm thoroughm Into, South Carolina, who 167 00:09:07.720 --> 00:09:11.519 philibustered for twenty four hours and eighteen minutes against the 168 00:09:11.559 --> 00:09:16.960 Civil Rights Act of nineteen fifty seven. Yesterday, Senator Booker, 169 00:09:17.799 --> 00:09:19.799 I also think it's also kind of cool in that 170 00:09:19.919 --> 00:09:24.080 regard that this person, Philip bustered against the Civil Rights 171 00:09:24.080 --> 00:09:27.720 Act and that was the record. A black senator from 172 00:09:27.759 --> 00:09:31.960 New Jersey broke that record. I'm given the props where 173 00:09:31.960 --> 00:09:33.519 they're due as far as that's concerned. 174 00:09:33.639 --> 00:09:36.000 That's that's legit. That's a flex right. 175 00:09:36.759 --> 00:09:39.600 Yesterday, Senator Booker took the Senate floor with the intention 176 00:09:39.679 --> 00:09:42.080 of speaking as long as he was physically able to 177 00:09:42.159 --> 00:09:44.600 uplift the stories of Americans who are being harmed by 178 00:09:44.639 --> 00:09:48.720 the Trump administration's reckless actions, attempts to undermine the institutions, 179 00:09:49.000 --> 00:09:51.080 and disregard for the rule of law. 180 00:09:51.519 --> 00:09:55.559 Again, disagree with them, agree with him. That is not 181 00:09:55.679 --> 00:09:57.799 why I'm giving them the tip of the hat. You 182 00:09:57.919 --> 00:10:01.080 boys spoke for twenty five hours straight. As somebody who 183 00:10:01.159 --> 00:10:05.559 speaks professionally, that's not an easy feat. By it, I mean, 184 00:10:06.080 --> 00:10:08.200 speaking for four and a half hours. At the end 185 00:10:08.240 --> 00:10:11.360 of it, I feel drained. Twenty five hours straight. 186 00:10:11.919 --> 00:10:13.720 I mean, you know your boy was wearing it depends 187 00:10:14.039 --> 00:10:15.759 you know that thing was sagging low by the time 188 00:10:15.759 --> 00:10:16.639 he got off the stage. 189 00:10:16.639 --> 00:10:19.879 But I mean again, you gotta give the respect where 190 00:10:19.879 --> 00:10:23.320 it's due. Say anyway, in that time, let's look at 191 00:10:23.360 --> 00:10:23.679 this thing. 192 00:10:23.720 --> 00:10:27.600 By the numbers, twenty five hours and five minutes total 193 00:10:27.679 --> 00:10:31.679 length of Booker speech, one thousand, one hundred and sixty 194 00:10:31.799 --> 00:10:36.600 four pages of prepared material. With that, more than two 195 00:10:36.720 --> 00:10:40.840 hundred stories from New Jerseyans and Americans across the country 196 00:10:40.879 --> 00:10:45.120 shared in the speech. Three hundred and fifty million plus 197 00:10:45.279 --> 00:10:48.919 likes on his TikTok for live streaming the speech. Yo, 198 00:10:49.000 --> 00:10:50.960 you want to talk about something going viral. You just 199 00:10:51.000 --> 00:10:53.639 went live stream for twenty five hours and had three 200 00:10:53.720 --> 00:10:57.919 hundred and fifty million likes. Again, given the props where 201 00:10:57.960 --> 00:11:01.600 they're due. More than twenty eight thousand voicemails of encouragement 202 00:11:01.679 --> 00:11:05.799 left on his main office line, three hundred thousand plus 203 00:11:06.240 --> 00:11:09.759 largest member, the largest number of people viewing the live 204 00:11:09.799 --> 00:11:12.600 stream across just his platform at once, which I could 205 00:11:12.879 --> 00:11:18.000 I could probably get down with But y'all eleven hundred 206 00:11:18.039 --> 00:11:22.320 pages eleven hundred and sixty four pages of prepare material. 207 00:11:22.440 --> 00:11:25.559 Again as somebody who writes down and prepares material for 208 00:11:25.600 --> 00:11:30.360 a living YO, thirty pages front and back will cover 209 00:11:30.399 --> 00:11:32.679 the spare for me anyway, for how you know, when 210 00:11:32.720 --> 00:11:34.960 me and Jonathan do our show, if I have thirty 211 00:11:35.000 --> 00:11:37.879 pages front and back of notes taken, I'm gonna cover 212 00:11:37.960 --> 00:11:40.320 about a three possibly a three and a half hour 213 00:11:40.360 --> 00:11:44.159 spread with breaks for conversation in the middle to solo 214 00:11:44.320 --> 00:11:48.679 miket buy yourself for twenty five hours like it's that 215 00:11:48.799 --> 00:11:51.879 seems like almost an impossible feat to me, like that, 216 00:11:51.879 --> 00:11:55.960 that's mind blowing. But your boy did it. And with that, 217 00:11:56.039 --> 00:11:59.080 I thought it would be nice to play the closing 218 00:11:59.120 --> 00:12:02.440 remarks of his speech. And again I don't agree with 219 00:12:02.600 --> 00:12:05.200 pretty much anything he spoke on gonna be honest, but 220 00:12:05.240 --> 00:12:07.679 that is not the point. For the man that broke 221 00:12:07.720 --> 00:12:09.720 the record, I think the least we could do is 222 00:12:09.759 --> 00:12:13.159 listen to the last two minutes of his speech. Let's 223 00:12:13.159 --> 00:12:14.320 go ahead and listen in, shall we? 224 00:12:14.840 --> 00:12:18.279 But I know who does have the power, the people 225 00:12:18.279 --> 00:12:21.759 of the United States of America. The power of the 226 00:12:21.759 --> 00:12:24.159 people is greater than the people in power. It is 227 00:12:24.240 --> 00:12:26.799 time to heed the words of the man. I began 228 00:12:26.840 --> 00:12:30.879 this whole thing with John Lewis. I beg folks to 229 00:12:30.960 --> 00:12:34.320 take his example of his early days, where he made 230 00:12:34.399 --> 00:12:37.360 himself determined to show his love for his country. At 231 00:12:37.360 --> 00:12:40.600 the time, the country didn't love him to love this 232 00:12:40.679 --> 00:12:42.519 country so much, to be such a patriot that he 233 00:12:42.600 --> 00:12:46.639 endured beatings savagely on the Edmund Pettis Bridge at lunch 234 00:12:46.679 --> 00:12:50.879 counters on freedom rides. He said he had to do something. 235 00:12:51.879 --> 00:12:56.080 He would not normalize a moment like this. He would 236 00:12:56.120 --> 00:13:00.000 not just go along with business as usual. He wouldn't 237 00:13:00.039 --> 00:13:02.480 know how to solve it. But there's one thing that 238 00:13:02.519 --> 00:13:04.080 he would do that I hope we all can do that. 239 00:13:04.120 --> 00:13:11.240 I think I did a little bit of tonight. He said, 240 00:13:11.240 --> 00:13:15.440 for us to go out and cause some good trouble, 241 00:13:16.639 --> 00:13:22.159 necessary trouble to redeem the soul of our nation. I 242 00:13:22.279 --> 00:13:25.879 want you to redeem the dream when our founder said 243 00:13:25.919 --> 00:13:30.600 we must mutually pledge, pledge to each other our lives, 244 00:13:30.720 --> 00:13:35.000 our fortunes, and our sacred honor. We need that now 245 00:13:35.879 --> 00:13:39.279 from all Americans. This is a moral moment. It's not 246 00:13:39.399 --> 00:13:46.679 left or right, it's right or wrong. It's getting good 247 00:13:46.720 --> 00:13:53.039 trouble my friend, Madam President, I yield the floor. 248 00:13:57.679 --> 00:13:59.799 Now again. If you want to go back and listen 249 00:13:59.840 --> 00:14:02.240 to you all twenty five hours of it. There's tons 250 00:14:02.240 --> 00:14:04.399 of tons of videos of it, tons of the live 251 00:14:04.440 --> 00:14:10.200 stream that were recorded, and yo, mad respect, everybody left 252 00:14:10.279 --> 00:14:12.559 right of the aisle didn't matter. Your boy just spoke 253 00:14:12.679 --> 00:14:18.799 for over an entire day. Whatever. Stand class for the man. 254 00:14:18.879 --> 00:14:22.480 You know what I mean? That's that's insane. But yeah, 255 00:14:22.600 --> 00:14:25.480 all the things, all the stuff, so that happened this week. 256 00:14:26.600 --> 00:14:30.559 That's I think that's that's historic, right again, regardless of 257 00:14:30.559 --> 00:14:33.320 the politics of it, it's historic as hell and it's 258 00:14:33.360 --> 00:14:37.039 worth talking about. Right. So with that, before I go 259 00:14:37.120 --> 00:14:39.000 to the next thing here, actually know what, Yeah, let 260 00:14:39.039 --> 00:14:40.960 me go ahead and check out the chat because I 261 00:14:41.000 --> 00:14:44.159 guarantee y'all have said some things. I know Alex dropped 262 00:14:44.159 --> 00:14:46.639 that meme a minute ago. All shit, my bad. I 263 00:14:46.679 --> 00:14:49.600 completely stipped my mind to stay to say my typical 264 00:14:49.639 --> 00:14:54.720 what's up to shut up? Alex? You you ass uh atypical? 265 00:14:54.799 --> 00:14:58.159 Such a boy. Ah Royce, the resident Jew. I love 266 00:14:58.200 --> 00:15:01.960 it ravenly. It's crazy he went that long. Yeah again, respect, 267 00:15:02.000 --> 00:15:03.360 and at the end you could tell he was kind 268 00:15:03.360 --> 00:15:05.559 of like flubbing some words here and there, but I 269 00:15:05.600 --> 00:15:09.639 mean I flub words after an hour of speaking. Your 270 00:15:09.639 --> 00:15:12.000 boy was going at it that long. Good God, like 271 00:15:12.840 --> 00:15:15.279 he earned his money on that day. I'll give him that. 272 00:15:15.320 --> 00:15:21.399 He earned his paycheck with this one. Stephanie, what you got? Well? 273 00:15:21.440 --> 00:15:24.679 My question, I just so the point of a filibuster 274 00:15:24.840 --> 00:15:28.480 isn't it to block a bill? And I, you know, personally, 275 00:15:28.559 --> 00:15:30.600 I think I could go for twenty four hours if 276 00:15:30.639 --> 00:15:34.120 you give me a couple of shots of fireball. I 277 00:15:34.120 --> 00:15:36.159 could tell you some stories. I don't know if it 278 00:15:36.159 --> 00:15:38.840 would be productive, but I could tell you some stories. 279 00:15:39.360 --> 00:15:41.440 But it isn't the whole point. What bill was he 280 00:15:41.519 --> 00:15:43.600 trying to block? Isn't that the point of a filibuster? 281 00:15:45.919 --> 00:15:48.600 It can be, That's the thing. I'm not even sure 282 00:15:48.600 --> 00:15:50.799 if there was a bill he was necessarily trying to block, 283 00:15:50.960 --> 00:15:54.360 or what the case was. But I mean, if nothing else, 284 00:15:54.440 --> 00:15:58.000 twenty five hours of a speech in general, and again 285 00:15:58.000 --> 00:16:01.840 he's talking about causing good trouble and his entire speech 286 00:16:01.919 --> 00:16:05.039 was very much just anti Trump because again Booker has 287 00:16:05.080 --> 00:16:09.679 been a very big proponent of anti Trump, you know, rhetoric, 288 00:16:10.039 --> 00:16:13.720 as everybody on the left is wanted to do, especially 289 00:16:13.799 --> 00:16:17.039 right now, and I didn't. I didn't actually go back 290 00:16:17.039 --> 00:16:20.399 and watch the nuances of it because I know Booker's 291 00:16:20.480 --> 00:16:27.600 quality and he is a true blue politician and I 292 00:16:27.639 --> 00:16:31.759 don't typically have much aligned with that side. So I 293 00:16:31.799 --> 00:16:33.600 didn't go back and look at the nuances. But just 294 00:16:33.600 --> 00:16:36.399 for the history or you know, precedence of this, to 295 00:16:36.720 --> 00:16:40.440 break a record in that way, that's that's quite a 296 00:16:40.480 --> 00:16:43.360 flex especially because he broke the record from a guy 297 00:16:43.360 --> 00:16:46.480 who was going against the Civil Rights Act in the fifties, 298 00:16:46.919 --> 00:16:49.120 and it was this guy that broke that record. Like, 299 00:16:49.879 --> 00:16:51.559 I'm at least give them the tip of the hat 300 00:16:51.559 --> 00:16:54.440 and the props where they're due. You know, that's just me. 301 00:16:55.960 --> 00:16:57.840 And again, I would like to go back and check 302 00:16:57.879 --> 00:17:00.559 it out. Let's see here. Alexandra said, it sounded like 303 00:17:00.559 --> 00:17:05.839 he was about to start bawling, like he listened to MCR. Yeah, 304 00:17:05.960 --> 00:17:08.400 oh yeah, a Booker listened to my chemical romance. I 305 00:17:08.440 --> 00:17:11.319 would I would actually be actually that'd be a little 306 00:17:11.319 --> 00:17:12.880 bit more of a step up. I'd give him a 307 00:17:12.880 --> 00:17:14.640 little bit more props if I found out he was 308 00:17:14.640 --> 00:17:17.599 a closet emo kid. I doubt it. I doubt it. 309 00:17:17.599 --> 00:17:20.000 He's way too much of a stuff. But uh yeah, 310 00:17:20.279 --> 00:17:23.400 not talking to twenty five hours is long, but damn yeah, 311 00:17:23.480 --> 00:17:25.759 Alex is straight up drinking from the bottle. You know 312 00:17:25.839 --> 00:17:27.680 what Alex be doing that? 313 00:17:28.279 --> 00:17:30.640 And for what Alex got going on a pole up? 314 00:17:31.000 --> 00:17:33.880 Okay you do you boo boo. Ain't nobody judging you here? 315 00:17:35.440 --> 00:17:38.839 All right, let's see here Merlin, welcome, Welcome to the group. 316 00:17:39.160 --> 00:17:39.880 Meeting dog. 317 00:17:40.480 --> 00:17:42.440 We got two recovering Mormons in the group. 318 00:17:42.559 --> 00:17:45.079 Oh yeah, that's true. We do on this. On this 319 00:17:45.119 --> 00:17:48.000 particular episode of the Cage to Night, we got two 320 00:17:48.240 --> 00:17:51.200 recovering Mountain Jews that are I'm not saying, seen the 321 00:17:51.279 --> 00:17:52.720 light and are going towards it. 322 00:17:52.759 --> 00:17:55.319 At least they just left the darkness. 323 00:17:55.680 --> 00:17:59.559 Let's leave it at that, you know. Uh But anyway, anyway, 324 00:17:59.680 --> 00:18:04.799 getting back on track here, So, another massively historic thing 325 00:18:05.200 --> 00:18:08.920 happened just today. Everybody, I don't know who's been keeping 326 00:18:09.000 --> 00:18:12.000 up with what type of news source or whatever's going on. 327 00:18:13.640 --> 00:18:17.559 All week, we have been hearing that the stocks are 328 00:18:17.559 --> 00:18:21.680 tanking and America is probably in a recession right now. 329 00:18:21.720 --> 00:18:24.039 We just can't admit it because bet bet bet bap 330 00:18:24.079 --> 00:18:26.160 and I've heard it from the left. I've heard even 331 00:18:26.160 --> 00:18:28.720 some from the right that are saying that America is 332 00:18:28.759 --> 00:18:31.119 in a soft recession right now and it's only gonna 333 00:18:31.119 --> 00:18:35.200 get worse from here. Did anybody notice that the stock 334 00:18:35.279 --> 00:18:39.319 prices and extee me that the Dow jumped up three 335 00:18:39.359 --> 00:18:44.799 thousand points today. Now I thought this was a joke. 336 00:18:45.319 --> 00:18:47.400 I thought this was like a gimmick. I thought it 337 00:18:47.440 --> 00:18:52.119 was clickbait. No, no, no, no, it is not. And 338 00:18:52.480 --> 00:18:57.480 with that, Trump basically just put China in a stranglehold. 339 00:18:58.599 --> 00:19:01.000 And is I think he's get ready to lube up 340 00:19:01.039 --> 00:19:04.799 to bend him over. That seems to be the gesture 341 00:19:04.880 --> 00:19:07.720 that's taking place right now. At the same time, he 342 00:19:07.759 --> 00:19:11.440 put a ninety day hold on all other tariffs to 343 00:19:11.680 --> 00:19:15.559 all other countries as an extra middle finger to Ji, 344 00:19:15.920 --> 00:19:19.599 which I am a fan of, because if anybody has 345 00:19:19.599 --> 00:19:21.680 ever heard me speak, you know I'm not the biggest 346 00:19:21.680 --> 00:19:25.599 fan of the CCP or jijuping like at all. But 347 00:19:26.000 --> 00:19:28.200 I didn't see it coming. I definitely didn't see this 348 00:19:28.240 --> 00:19:30.440 one coming. And I think that this is kind of 349 00:19:30.480 --> 00:19:34.119 what happens. Remember when we were talking about the ceasefire 350 00:19:34.160 --> 00:19:35.880 deals that were happening with Russia and Ukraine, or at 351 00:19:35.920 --> 00:19:38.720 least what he was trying to make happen. He basically 352 00:19:38.759 --> 00:19:41.519 strong armed Ukraine to come to the negotiation table, and 353 00:19:41.559 --> 00:19:44.279 everybody thought he was just the He's an ass for 354 00:19:44.319 --> 00:19:47.400 doing it this way, Bob, Bob Bob. Then Ukraine went 355 00:19:47.440 --> 00:19:49.160 to the other side of things, tried to get help 356 00:19:49.160 --> 00:19:51.759 from other people, realized that there was no help to 357 00:19:51.759 --> 00:19:54.480 be had decided to come to the negotiation table. He 358 00:19:54.559 --> 00:19:57.480 tried doing the same thing with Russia. Russia went back 359 00:19:57.519 --> 00:20:00.359 on their word, and he's working that deal. This is 360 00:20:00.440 --> 00:20:03.839 kind of how I guess these backdoor business deals happen 361 00:20:03.920 --> 00:20:07.480 with these fortune five hundred CEOs. It's strong armed leverage 362 00:20:07.519 --> 00:20:11.079 and it's mafioso style sit downs. But because he's the 363 00:20:11.160 --> 00:20:14.119 president now everything is out in the public. So when 364 00:20:14.119 --> 00:20:17.720 he's trying to strong arm China in playing ball and 365 00:20:17.720 --> 00:20:20.359 they're deciding that they don't want to play ball, he 366 00:20:20.519 --> 00:20:22.519 decided that he's gonna make them an offer that they 367 00:20:22.559 --> 00:20:24.960 can't refuse. And he's not doing it with weapons. He's 368 00:20:24.960 --> 00:20:27.200 not gonna hold a gun to GI's head. He's gonna 369 00:20:27.200 --> 00:20:29.039 make him hold a gun to his own head. And 370 00:20:29.039 --> 00:20:31.319 that seems to be the play here, go ahead. 371 00:20:31.359 --> 00:20:36.039 Raven I was gonna say a lot of people have 372 00:20:36.119 --> 00:20:39.200 been asking, like what if, like people could explain what 373 00:20:39.319 --> 00:20:42.119 tariffs are and how they work. That's been a big 374 00:20:42.160 --> 00:20:45.319 conversation because a lot of people don't really understand how 375 00:20:45.319 --> 00:20:47.200 it actually works. So if you could break that down 376 00:20:47.240 --> 00:20:48.359 for people, that'd be awesome. 377 00:20:48.559 --> 00:20:49.119 Absolutely. 378 00:20:49.160 --> 00:20:51.839 And again I'm not an economist by any means. 379 00:20:51.599 --> 00:20:53.839 But I literally had to break this down to my 380 00:20:53.920 --> 00:20:56.759 twelve year old earlier today because he had asked about this. So, 381 00:20:56.839 --> 00:21:00.799 all right, I'm gonna give an example. Let's say that 382 00:21:01.839 --> 00:21:05.839 if I wanted to open a food cart a Lucky 383 00:21:05.880 --> 00:21:08.920 Dog stan right whatever, chicken and waffle stand, because that 384 00:21:09.000 --> 00:21:10.519 is a dream of mine to open a fucking chicken 385 00:21:10.519 --> 00:21:14.119 and wafflestand I will do it one day. Anyway, if 386 00:21:14.160 --> 00:21:16.279 I wanted to open this type of a food cart 387 00:21:16.640 --> 00:21:19.720 in the French Quarter in New Orleans, Okay, once I 388 00:21:19.759 --> 00:21:21.680 get the cart, and once I get the health code 389 00:21:21.720 --> 00:21:23.920 and all that stuff, I have to get a state 390 00:21:23.960 --> 00:21:26.519 permit to sell food. I then have to get a 391 00:21:26.599 --> 00:21:30.279 Jefferson Parish permit to sell food. I would then have 392 00:21:30.319 --> 00:21:33.720 to get a French Quarter permit to sell food there, right, 393 00:21:34.160 --> 00:21:37.200 these are you want to call them extortion fees? Fine, 394 00:21:37.519 --> 00:21:41.400 interchangeable dialogue. That is kind of how the tariff game 395 00:21:41.440 --> 00:21:44.400 works on the macro. That was a very micro example. 396 00:21:45.039 --> 00:21:47.480 Now cut to the macro. Let's cut to the world 397 00:21:47.559 --> 00:21:54.240 stage here. If Pakistan wants to if we want to 398 00:21:54.279 --> 00:21:57.559 sell something in Pakistan, we have to pay a ten 399 00:21:57.640 --> 00:22:01.079 percent tariff to the Pakistani government for anything that says 400 00:22:01.079 --> 00:22:03.279 I'm made in the USA to be sold there. And 401 00:22:03.319 --> 00:22:06.160 it's not just towards the US. Countries do this against 402 00:22:06.240 --> 00:22:08.640 each other, and it's not like it's understood to be 403 00:22:08.680 --> 00:22:10.799 the way it goes. You're paying your extortion fee. You're 404 00:22:10.799 --> 00:22:14.119 paying for the right or the ability for your goods 405 00:22:14.160 --> 00:22:17.519 to be sold in this place. Okay, It's like a 406 00:22:17.720 --> 00:22:23.680 thing of a licensing fee something similar. Okay. Now America 407 00:22:24.319 --> 00:22:29.160 is a nation of consumers. That is what we do, Okay. 408 00:22:29.200 --> 00:22:32.240 And that's not necessarily a bad thing. It's not necessarily 409 00:22:32.319 --> 00:22:34.359 a good thing either. It's just kind of how everything 410 00:22:34.440 --> 00:22:36.039 is shaken out historically speaking. 411 00:22:36.279 --> 00:22:38.119 And as I always explaining this to my kid as 412 00:22:38.160 --> 00:22:38.440 a matter. 413 00:22:38.359 --> 00:22:40.599 Of fact, we got home and I open my garage 414 00:22:40.920 --> 00:22:42.319 and he's like, what do you mean by that. I'm like, 415 00:22:42.759 --> 00:22:47.160 look inside this garage right now, do you see anything 416 00:22:47.400 --> 00:22:51.480 that we require as a family. Or do you see stuff, 417 00:22:52.240 --> 00:22:54.559 you know, you see bikes, I got my armor picked 418 00:22:54.640 --> 00:22:56.480 up in there. You see some weights over here, you 419 00:22:56.519 --> 00:22:59.200 see that. But like maybe the tools that I have, 420 00:22:59.279 --> 00:23:01.519 you could argue that that's a need. But like other 421 00:23:01.599 --> 00:23:04.279 than that, this whole garage is filled with things that 422 00:23:04.319 --> 00:23:09.519 we don't actually require for survival. Right. Other countries don't 423 00:23:09.640 --> 00:23:12.079 have that, some do, some don't, and there's varying degrees 424 00:23:12.079 --> 00:23:15.160 of that. But the reason why is because Americans like 425 00:23:15.279 --> 00:23:18.599 to buy stuff. That's something that we really love doing. 426 00:23:19.079 --> 00:23:21.240 Other countries, yeah, they like to buy stuff, but they 427 00:23:21.240 --> 00:23:23.640 don't always have the means to buy stuff or the 428 00:23:23.759 --> 00:23:29.799 stuff to buy. Okay, now keep this in mind. So America, 429 00:23:29.880 --> 00:23:32.799 being the nation of consumers as it is, and as 430 00:23:32.799 --> 00:23:36.319 it has been for quite some time, we have operated 431 00:23:36.440 --> 00:23:40.359 under a policy of no tariffs. There are some countries 432 00:23:40.400 --> 00:23:42.480 that get teariffed a little bit here, a little bit here, 433 00:23:42.720 --> 00:23:44.640 and there are some that we straight out say we're 434 00:23:44.640 --> 00:23:46.440 not buying any of your products. And like you know, 435 00:23:46.440 --> 00:23:48.279 if there's a time of war whatever, that's why. Like 436 00:23:48.519 --> 00:23:51.440 Cuban cigars, for instance, were illegal to be sold in 437 00:23:51.519 --> 00:23:53.720 America or even illegal to have here because we have 438 00:23:53.759 --> 00:23:56.720 put up these type of you know, embargoes, right, but 439 00:23:56.759 --> 00:23:59.240 that's different. Basically, an embargo is we're not buying any 440 00:23:59.279 --> 00:24:03.319 of your shit. A tariff is okay, we will allow 441 00:24:03.400 --> 00:24:07.559 you to sell your goods in our store or in 442 00:24:07.599 --> 00:24:10.920 this case, on our soil, but you're gonna pay the 443 00:24:11.039 --> 00:24:15.039 United States government x amount percentage wise to sell your 444 00:24:15.119 --> 00:24:18.839 goods in our country. Does that kind of clear it 445 00:24:18.920 --> 00:24:22.480 up for everybody? Now, when we pay that extortion fee, 446 00:24:23.000 --> 00:24:26.759 it's understood that that's quiit pro quote, that's the status 447 00:24:26.839 --> 00:24:30.519 quo of the day. We have always operated with a 448 00:24:30.519 --> 00:24:33.319 lot of these countries with no tariffs because we want 449 00:24:33.359 --> 00:24:35.559 to buy their goods for super super cheap. 450 00:24:35.759 --> 00:24:38.640 Now here's where that's kind of screwed us in the 451 00:24:38.680 --> 00:24:39.279 long run. 452 00:24:40.000 --> 00:24:43.920 Once upon a time, we were a manufacturing hub, not 453 00:24:43.960 --> 00:24:46.079 to the realm of sweatshops by any means, but we 454 00:24:46.160 --> 00:24:48.880 made our own goods here and you didn't have to 455 00:24:49.000 --> 00:24:52.680 pay shipping costs. When you build stuff two states over 456 00:24:53.119 --> 00:24:56.799 or at least, the shipping costs are substantially less. But 457 00:24:56.880 --> 00:25:01.160 this is why all of these American companies get their 458 00:25:01.319 --> 00:25:05.359 American goods quote unquote made in China because yeah, you 459 00:25:05.440 --> 00:25:08.440 might be paying the shipping costs, but you're paying five 460 00:25:08.519 --> 00:25:11.839 cents an hour in labor. And whenever you account for 461 00:25:11.880 --> 00:25:13.680 the shipping costs and all of that, it's it's the 462 00:25:13.759 --> 00:25:17.000 same thing. It actually equates to them making more money 463 00:25:17.319 --> 00:25:20.240 if they outsource the labor force to put things together, 464 00:25:20.440 --> 00:25:23.839 or to weld certain things, or to make little components, 465 00:25:23.920 --> 00:25:25.960 or whatever the case may be. It depends, you know, 466 00:25:26.079 --> 00:25:32.200 industry to industry here. So now Trump has said, all right, 467 00:25:32.359 --> 00:25:35.240 if we're trying to hook up the American people, what 468 00:25:35.279 --> 00:25:38.799 we're gonna do is we're gonna put tariffs on everyone 469 00:25:39.519 --> 00:25:43.400 for everything, and some higher than others. And there's political 470 00:25:43.440 --> 00:25:45.559 reasons for that and socioeconomic reasons for that, and I 471 00:25:45.559 --> 00:25:49.160 get this, but basically he's saying that every country, the 472 00:25:49.200 --> 00:25:53.359 same way that they make US America pay a tariff 473 00:25:53.599 --> 00:25:56.400 to be sold in other countries, we are going to 474 00:25:56.559 --> 00:25:59.599 reciprocate this. And this is why he let out this 475 00:25:59.680 --> 00:26:04.039 list of reciprocal tariffs. Basically, he's saying, you're charging us 476 00:26:04.079 --> 00:26:07.440 ten percent, we're charging you ten percent. Now, what does 477 00:26:07.480 --> 00:26:13.599 this look like on the real market here? Okay, energy drink, Okay, 478 00:26:14.079 --> 00:26:16.880 there's an easy example. Let's say this costs three fifty 479 00:26:17.079 --> 00:26:18.759 at the store. I don't actually know if that's what 480 00:26:18.759 --> 00:26:21.640 it costs. It's about that. It depends on the gas station. 481 00:26:22.039 --> 00:26:24.039 Sometimes I can get two for five. That's neither here 482 00:26:24.079 --> 00:26:26.880 nor there. So let's say three fifty for the energy drink. Okay, cool. 483 00:26:27.680 --> 00:26:31.599 It may have cost just throwing out random numbers here, 484 00:26:31.680 --> 00:26:35.400 just bear with me, maybe fifty cents to actually produce 485 00:26:35.480 --> 00:26:37.079 this energy drink. Okay. 486 00:26:37.319 --> 00:26:39.200 And if you want to account, let's say that this 487 00:26:39.359 --> 00:26:40.000 was a. 488 00:26:39.880 --> 00:26:42.480 Foreign made drink. This I think is a Coca Cola product, 489 00:26:42.519 --> 00:26:44.960 but neither here nor there. Let's say that it's a 490 00:26:45.000 --> 00:26:48.759 foreign drink. And when you account for the shipping and everything, 491 00:26:48.799 --> 00:26:52.279 let's say you're adding on an extra dollar, give or take. 492 00:26:52.759 --> 00:26:54.720 So now you have a dollar fifty to put it 493 00:26:54.759 --> 00:26:56.759 on the shelf, you're selling it for three fifty. You're 494 00:26:56.799 --> 00:26:59.799 still making a solid profit margin. Okay. And again I 495 00:27:00.079 --> 00:27:02.119 don't actually know if these are real figures. It's just 496 00:27:02.160 --> 00:27:05.720 for the example. But if you were to throw a 497 00:27:05.799 --> 00:27:09.319 ten percent tariff on that, that means that you also 498 00:27:09.799 --> 00:27:13.960 are charging the foreign country thirty five cents for every 499 00:27:13.960 --> 00:27:17.920 one of these sold on US soil. Okay, And that's 500 00:27:17.960 --> 00:27:20.480 a that's literally just the fee for you to come 501 00:27:20.519 --> 00:27:22.680 here and play the game. You want to sell your 502 00:27:22.680 --> 00:27:26.880 goods here, we will be taking thirty five or ten 503 00:27:26.920 --> 00:27:29.000 percent right off the top, and that goes to the 504 00:27:29.160 --> 00:27:32.519 US government. Okay, Now, a lot of people think that 505 00:27:32.519 --> 00:27:34.319 that means that, oh, well, the price of the good 506 00:27:34.359 --> 00:27:37.799 will increase because the company's not gonna pay that. In 507 00:27:37.880 --> 00:27:42.200 certain cases, yes, and in certain cases strong arm leverage 508 00:27:42.279 --> 00:27:45.319 will happen and they'll say no, no, you're not increasing 509 00:27:45.319 --> 00:27:46.759 the price, or we'll just make it to where you 510 00:27:46.839 --> 00:27:50.799 can't sell your goods here, period. And that's kind of 511 00:27:50.799 --> 00:27:53.160 how this goes. It's the same way when America sells 512 00:27:53.200 --> 00:27:56.720 goods in other countries, we pay the tariff. The consumer 513 00:27:56.759 --> 00:28:00.759 doesn't pay that tariff the American company. If you were 514 00:28:00.799 --> 00:28:03.240 to have a T shirt company in America, and it'd 515 00:28:03.240 --> 00:28:06.400 be a very compliant company, which for everybody who doesn't know, 516 00:28:06.440 --> 00:28:10.440 that means it is a basically every component of the 517 00:28:10.440 --> 00:28:14.000 company is US through and through, or at least within 518 00:28:14.039 --> 00:28:17.839 the realms of basically completely one made in the USA, right, 519 00:28:17.880 --> 00:28:20.400 the inink, the cotton, the manufacturing, the whole nine. Right. 520 00:28:21.440 --> 00:28:24.559 If you have a very compliant T shirt company, and 521 00:28:24.599 --> 00:28:28.000 you're trying to sell a T shirt in France. The 522 00:28:28.119 --> 00:28:31.720 company is paying a ten percent tariff to the French government. 523 00:28:32.240 --> 00:28:35.920 The French government is not charging the buyer and extra 524 00:28:35.960 --> 00:28:39.119 ten percent off the top to make that up. And 525 00:28:39.160 --> 00:28:41.160 that's why I've never understood when people were like, the 526 00:28:41.240 --> 00:28:43.799 terrifts are going to screw over the people. It doesn't 527 00:28:43.839 --> 00:28:45.720 work like that anywhere else on earth. Why would it 528 00:28:45.759 --> 00:28:49.960 work that way in America? But I digress. I have 529 00:28:50.319 --> 00:28:52.200 I kind of paying a decent picture. Here have I 530 00:28:52.200 --> 00:28:54.039 gotten people lost in the weeds? If I have? Please 531 00:28:54.039 --> 00:28:56.519 tell me I can go back now you're good. 532 00:28:57.960 --> 00:28:58.480 I was just ta. 533 00:28:59.160 --> 00:29:01.559 I'm putting the chat of about the consumerism of like 534 00:29:01.599 --> 00:29:04.039 when it really started and stuff it started in like 535 00:29:04.079 --> 00:29:07.079 nineteen fifty two that's where the big push started, and 536 00:29:07.079 --> 00:29:09.880 then from nineteen fifty two to sixty four, as when 537 00:29:09.920 --> 00:29:13.319 they did the real designs for how to make because 538 00:29:13.359 --> 00:29:16.400 like everybody, like all of our grandparents always said like, oh, well, 539 00:29:16.440 --> 00:29:18.839 back in my day, things were made, and like we 540 00:29:18.880 --> 00:29:21.240 bought one thing and that was it. And it's true, 541 00:29:21.480 --> 00:29:24.000 they're still around. You can buy them at antique stores 542 00:29:24.039 --> 00:29:26.079 and like you can use them. It's because it was 543 00:29:26.119 --> 00:29:30.039 done by design to be able to create a consumerism, 544 00:29:30.079 --> 00:29:33.400 because if you built something so good, then nobody ever 545 00:29:33.480 --> 00:29:36.839 has to buy it. Like in Japan, instead of having 546 00:29:36.839 --> 00:29:40.440 the consumerism mindset, they have shops around everywhere that you 547 00:29:40.440 --> 00:29:44.039 can repair almost everything, even broken plates and glass. You 548 00:29:44.079 --> 00:29:46.960 can take it in and they'll actually use like different 549 00:29:46.960 --> 00:29:50.319 types of metal or different types of product to make 550 00:29:50.359 --> 00:29:53.160 it look artistic, but put it back together so you 551 00:29:53.160 --> 00:29:55.480 don't have to buy it, so they're not consuming so much. 552 00:29:55.880 --> 00:29:59.920 But here it's pushed in almost everything, every cartoon, even 553 00:30:00.119 --> 00:30:04.799 in Looney Tunes, it was heavily pushed to be consumers. 554 00:30:05.079 --> 00:30:07.519 That's where they really started to add it and to 555 00:30:07.839 --> 00:30:09.880 get to the children to be able to grow up 556 00:30:09.880 --> 00:30:12.920 and be consumers. So it all is a big game 557 00:30:12.960 --> 00:30:15.559 here in America, but really not overseas as much. 558 00:30:16.000 --> 00:30:18.440 Absolutely, And I would even say that the nineteen eighties 559 00:30:18.440 --> 00:30:22.079 were the first time that children, in particular teenagers but 560 00:30:22.119 --> 00:30:26.720 even younger were actually looked at for their marketability. Right. 561 00:30:26.720 --> 00:30:28.799 There was a whole wave of movies, any of those 562 00:30:29.039 --> 00:30:31.200 iconic eighties movies that you can think of that were 563 00:30:31.240 --> 00:30:34.519 geared towards high school kids, even though everyone acting in 564 00:30:34.559 --> 00:30:36.880 them were like in their mid twenties, either here or there, 565 00:30:37.480 --> 00:30:40.039 it was geared towards the high school students, and there 566 00:30:40.200 --> 00:30:42.160 was products that were being pushed in such a way 567 00:30:42.200 --> 00:30:45.200 because they realized, wait a minute, in the past, we 568 00:30:45.200 --> 00:30:47.799 were always going after the dad, right as far as 569 00:30:47.799 --> 00:30:50.799 the consumerism was concerned, because everything was a single income household. 570 00:30:51.319 --> 00:30:53.559 Then when it got to the men and the women 571 00:30:53.599 --> 00:30:54.079 both had to. 572 00:30:54.079 --> 00:30:56.279 Go to work to support the family, then they saw 573 00:30:56.319 --> 00:30:59.640 it that they could double their profit margins. Finally, they realized, 574 00:30:59.640 --> 00:31:03.119 mostly high school kids have jobs after school, meaning they 575 00:31:03.119 --> 00:31:05.240 have money to blow, meaning that we can get that 576 00:31:05.319 --> 00:31:07.440 money from them. So they started looking at the younger 577 00:31:07.480 --> 00:31:10.680 generation as the next base of consumers. They started to 578 00:31:10.720 --> 00:31:14.079 lay it in really thick. Cut to the nineties when 579 00:31:14.440 --> 00:31:17.640 the only channel that didn't have commercials playing was the 580 00:31:17.680 --> 00:31:20.480 Disney Channel, and the only commercials they had playing were 581 00:31:20.519 --> 00:31:22.559 Disney commercials. But that's a whole other talk for a 582 00:31:22.599 --> 00:31:25.640 whole other day. But yeah, they've started to really push 583 00:31:25.759 --> 00:31:31.039 the entire mindset of shoppers, consumers, people that buy stuff 584 00:31:31.160 --> 00:31:34.359 from the very oldest to the very youngest in America. 585 00:31:35.400 --> 00:31:42.519 Now cut to what just happened as of today in America. 586 00:31:42.599 --> 00:31:44.279 So Donald Trump. You know, I'm gonna go ahead and 587 00:31:44.279 --> 00:31:46.160 share the screen and we're just gonna talk about it 588 00:31:46.200 --> 00:31:48.799 from some people that are way better explaining it than 589 00:31:48.839 --> 00:31:52.720 I am. This is a CNBC television event, and I 590 00:31:52.720 --> 00:31:54.880 think this is also they have some Australians that we're 591 00:31:54.920 --> 00:31:58.240 speaking one to hear. Trump announces a ninety day tariff 592 00:31:58.279 --> 00:32:02.200 pause for at least some countries. Let's listen in. Meghan 593 00:32:02.279 --> 00:32:04.400 Casella is in our DC bureau. Megan, maybe you can 594 00:32:04.480 --> 00:32:06.480 enlighten us with more Kelly. 595 00:32:06.519 --> 00:32:08.319 We are just sifting through everything that we're seeing in 596 00:32:08.319 --> 00:32:11.599 this true social post. But two major developments I'm going 597 00:32:11.680 --> 00:32:14.640 to go first. That the President says he is authorizing 598 00:32:14.680 --> 00:32:19.599 a ninety day pause and substantially lowering the reciprocal tariff 599 00:32:19.680 --> 00:32:24.279 during this period of ten percent effective immediately. There's some 600 00:32:24.279 --> 00:32:27.000 fuzzy language here. The upshot is that there's a ninety 601 00:32:27.079 --> 00:32:29.160 day pause in the reciprocal tariff. What I'm not clear 602 00:32:29.200 --> 00:32:31.119 on is whether we go to zero during that time 603 00:32:31.200 --> 00:32:33.359 or two back where we were, or if the ten 604 00:32:33.400 --> 00:32:37.720 percent tariff remains in place. Either way a major step forward. 605 00:32:37.920 --> 00:32:40.240 The President says that this is because more than seventy 606 00:32:40.240 --> 00:32:44.160 five countries have called representatives of the United States. Negotiations 607 00:32:44.160 --> 00:32:47.200 are ongoing, and so he's instituting this ninety day pause. 608 00:32:47.559 --> 00:32:50.880 In the meantime, on the other hand, some negative news 609 00:32:50.880 --> 00:32:53.839 on China, saying that based on the lack of respect 610 00:32:53.880 --> 00:32:56.920 that China has shown to the world's markets, he's raising 611 00:32:56.960 --> 00:33:00.599 the tariff on China to one hundred and twenty five that's, 612 00:33:00.640 --> 00:33:02.960 of course up from the one hundred and four percent 613 00:33:03.279 --> 00:33:06.119 that took effect just at midnight, now going even higher 614 00:33:06.119 --> 00:33:08.079 to one hundred and twenty five percent, because he does 615 00:33:08.119 --> 00:33:11.000 not like the way China has been retaliating rather than 616 00:33:11.039 --> 00:33:13.599 coming to the United States and wanting to negotiate. So 617 00:33:14.000 --> 00:33:16.759 two major step forwards here. One obviously very good for 618 00:33:16.799 --> 00:33:19.119 the markets. You're seeing the markets react to that. The 619 00:33:19.200 --> 00:33:22.880 other one on China looking like, you know, they don't 620 00:33:23.000 --> 00:33:25.680 like the lack of respect that they see. So we 621 00:33:25.759 --> 00:33:28.400 are looking at a world in which things continue to 622 00:33:28.440 --> 00:33:31.720 get worse with China, one of our largest trading partners 623 00:33:31.720 --> 00:33:34.240 but of course not the largest, but getting much better 624 00:33:34.480 --> 00:33:38.240 with everybody else, at least temporarily while these negotiations, Kelly 625 00:33:38.279 --> 00:33:38.920 are ongoing. 626 00:33:41.000 --> 00:33:44.279 Okay, so let's break this down, shall we. 627 00:33:44.559 --> 00:33:47.839 I'm gonna read this article from Investipedia and just for 628 00:33:47.880 --> 00:33:51.960 the record, one hundred and twenty five percent tariff on 629 00:33:52.400 --> 00:33:56.200 West Taiwan aka China. So what that means is, basically, 630 00:33:56.279 --> 00:33:59.839 if you're buying a product for one dollar from China, 631 00:34:00.440 --> 00:34:03.519 China is paying the United States government a dollar twenty 632 00:34:03.559 --> 00:34:09.199 five for the opportunity to sell a one dollar product. Here. Yeah, 633 00:34:09.840 --> 00:34:12.559 he's he's he's not even pissing in their face and 634 00:34:12.599 --> 00:34:15.440 calling it rain. He's letting them know exactly what it is, 635 00:34:15.480 --> 00:34:17.679 and he's laughing about it. And that makes me happy. 636 00:34:18.119 --> 00:34:20.760 That makes me so happy because West Taiwan has been 637 00:34:20.760 --> 00:34:22.400 needing to get put in their place for a good 638 00:34:22.440 --> 00:34:24.840 little while now, but neither here nor there. What you 639 00:34:24.840 --> 00:34:27.400 see him holding right here in this picture is the 640 00:34:27.440 --> 00:34:31.159 reciprocal tariff chart, and he is showing what tariffs these 641 00:34:31.199 --> 00:34:35.039 countries have been putting on us for forever and now 642 00:34:35.079 --> 00:34:39.760 what he is planning on doing to them in reciprocity. Okay, 643 00:34:39.800 --> 00:34:43.280 he's not trying to strong arm leverage the entirety of 644 00:34:43.320 --> 00:34:45.599 the world, yeah China, sure, in a couple other countries 645 00:34:45.639 --> 00:34:47.840 in particular, but for the most part, he's trying to 646 00:34:47.880 --> 00:34:50.480 make it equal and fair. If you're gonna charge us 647 00:34:50.519 --> 00:34:53.800 ten percent. You will now be charged ten percent. This 648 00:34:53.960 --> 00:34:56.000 is just gonna be the way it's gonna be. Well, 649 00:34:56.000 --> 00:34:58.079 then nobody's gonna make money in that case. That would 650 00:34:58.119 --> 00:35:01.119 be the point He's trying to make the fair and balanced. 651 00:35:01.320 --> 00:35:04.400 Either we're all gonna deal in playball, or nobody's gonna 652 00:35:04.440 --> 00:35:07.679 deal in playball. That's how Donnie t does business. And 653 00:35:07.719 --> 00:35:10.719 I know the left is really upset by that, but 654 00:35:10.880 --> 00:35:13.880 you know, hey, all right, here we go. Here. Countries 655 00:35:13.920 --> 00:35:16.800 are reacting to widespread terariffs proposed by the United States, 656 00:35:16.880 --> 00:35:18.920 and there are two distinct approaches. 657 00:35:19.320 --> 00:35:22.119 Some countries are attempting to negotiate deals with the US 658 00:35:22.199 --> 00:35:25.519 in hopes of lowering tariffs, while none has been seen 659 00:35:25.800 --> 00:35:29.119 or none has been successful yet, President Donald Trump paused 660 00:35:29.119 --> 00:35:32.079 his most extreme tariff's Wednesday, just hours after they had 661 00:35:32.119 --> 00:35:35.519 been implemented, in an effort to make tailored deals with 662 00:35:35.599 --> 00:35:38.199 each country. The administration said, And. 663 00:35:38.159 --> 00:35:42.079 Did you hear the report? Seventy five countries have directly 664 00:35:42.119 --> 00:35:46.679 called the White House willing to make deals. Yes, yes, 665 00:35:47.360 --> 00:35:50.960 this is the result of this, and I know people 666 00:35:51.000 --> 00:35:53.480 are gonna get upset by that for some reason. Oh No, 667 00:35:53.679 --> 00:35:56.320 American companies will be able to make more money now. 668 00:35:57.000 --> 00:36:03.000 He's so evil anyway, Others retaliated in the early hours 669 00:36:03.039 --> 00:36:06.119 of the day, enforcing their own additional tariffs on US goods. 670 00:36:06.360 --> 00:36:11.480 In response. The largest retaliation Trump reattached or ratcheted the 671 00:36:11.519 --> 00:36:15.440 import duties on Chinese goods. Other countries that answered Trump's 672 00:36:15.440 --> 00:36:17.719 tariffs with import tax of their own did not see 673 00:36:17.760 --> 00:36:20.760 any US response. Yet. Here are a lists or some 674 00:36:20.840 --> 00:36:24.199 of the countries that are taking different approaches. Okay, so 675 00:36:24.280 --> 00:36:27.840 this is the retaliating countries. Separate countries are responding to 676 00:36:27.840 --> 00:36:30.920 Trump's tariffs with additional import taxes on the US products. 677 00:36:31.159 --> 00:36:34.320 Trump has said that if the countries retaliate, he will 678 00:36:34.320 --> 00:36:39.519 increase the reciprocal tariffs on that country. China. Obviously, China 679 00:36:39.559 --> 00:36:43.960 has already planned a thirty four percent retaliatory tax or tariff. 680 00:36:44.039 --> 00:36:47.880 Last week, in response, Trump ratcheted up tariffs on Chinese 681 00:36:47.920 --> 00:36:50.920 goods to one hundred and four percent, and those went 682 00:36:51.000 --> 00:36:53.679 into effect early Wednesday mornings. That would make the all 683 00:36:53.760 --> 00:36:59.280 encompassing total percent. Neither he nor there The Chinese government 684 00:36:59.280 --> 00:37:01.920 responded by raising its levy on US goods to eighty 685 00:37:01.920 --> 00:37:02.599 four percent. 686 00:37:02.679 --> 00:37:05.199 So they're trying to play this game. But they're also 687 00:37:05.239 --> 00:37:06.880 not willing to go all in, or at. 688 00:37:06.800 --> 00:37:10.559 Least not at this time. Anyway, the US practice of 689 00:37:10.800 --> 00:37:13.880 escalating tariffs on China is a mistake on top of 690 00:37:13.920 --> 00:37:17.840 a mistake which seriously infringes on China's legitimate rights and 691 00:37:18.000 --> 00:37:22.880 interests and seriously damages the rules based multilateral trading system. 692 00:37:23.079 --> 00:37:26.480 China's Ministry of Finance said, all right, now, I want 693 00:37:26.519 --> 00:37:29.239 everybody to keep that in mind, because I got a 694 00:37:29.320 --> 00:37:31.280 video we're gonna play here in a little bit that 695 00:37:31.440 --> 00:37:34.840 shows that this sitting like a nuanced thing that Trump's doing. 696 00:37:35.360 --> 00:37:39.400 For decades now, Democrats were pushing for US to put 697 00:37:39.480 --> 00:37:43.039 harder trade tariffs on China, but when Trump does it, 698 00:37:43.559 --> 00:37:45.440 he's evil. But we're gonna get to all of that 699 00:37:45.480 --> 00:37:49.159 in kind, I promise you. As I repeatedly said, China 700 00:37:49.199 --> 00:37:51.480 is the most imbalanced economy in the history of the 701 00:37:51.519 --> 00:37:53.840 modern world, and they are the biggest source of US 702 00:37:53.960 --> 00:37:58.039 trades problem, said Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent in a press 703 00:37:58.039 --> 00:38:02.679 conference with reporters after the increased were announced. Okay, and again, 704 00:38:02.679 --> 00:38:04.440 we're gonna talk more about the whole China thing in 705 00:38:04.440 --> 00:38:07.760 a bit, but I digress. Let's move on the European 706 00:38:07.920 --> 00:38:11.800 Union is taking retaliatory approaches here. The European Union officials 707 00:38:11.880 --> 00:38:16.000 voted Wednesday to implement retaliatory tariffs on US goods. The 708 00:38:16.119 --> 00:38:20.320 blocks tariff will affect around twenty three point two billion 709 00:38:20.440 --> 00:38:24.239 dollars in US exports, according to Bloomberg, a very very 710 00:38:24.239 --> 00:38:27.800 liberal media outlet, and are in response to the steel 711 00:38:27.840 --> 00:38:31.440 and aluminum teriffs previously implemented. According to a statement released 712 00:38:31.480 --> 00:38:36.280 by officials, the EU considers US tariffs unjustified in damaging, 713 00:38:36.360 --> 00:38:39.000 causing economic harm to both sides as well as the 714 00:38:39.000 --> 00:38:42.599 global economy. The statesman said, the EU has stated its 715 00:38:42.639 --> 00:38:46.199 clear preference to find negotiated outcomes with the US which 716 00:38:46.199 --> 00:38:50.599 would be balanced and mutually beneficial. They they're saying that 717 00:38:50.639 --> 00:38:52.920 because we're giving them equal tariffs to what they're putting 718 00:38:52.960 --> 00:38:55.920 on us. But all right. The tariffs will be implemented 719 00:38:55.920 --> 00:38:58.760 on April fifteenth, and could be suspended should two governing 720 00:38:58.760 --> 00:39:03.519 bodies reach a deal. Canada, Now, Canada and the US, 721 00:39:03.880 --> 00:39:06.679 I know we're neighbors. We've been on very friendly terms 722 00:39:06.679 --> 00:39:07.320 for a good while. 723 00:39:07.400 --> 00:39:07.599 Here. 724 00:39:07.920 --> 00:39:10.840 Trudeau sucks. We all agree. The guy that's about to 725 00:39:10.880 --> 00:39:13.679 take his place also sucks. I've done more research into him. 726 00:39:13.719 --> 00:39:16.480 He's literally a Trudeau junior, but neither here nor there. 727 00:39:17.400 --> 00:39:19.760 And Trump has been saying a lot of things about, yes, 728 00:39:19.800 --> 00:39:22.440 I know, annexing Canada, they're gonna be the fifty first state. 729 00:39:22.679 --> 00:39:25.679 They're not. They're not, y'all, they're not. That's that's him 730 00:39:25.679 --> 00:39:29.199 talking shit. I think most people could understand that, although 731 00:39:29.199 --> 00:39:31.960 if it does happen, I mean at this point, at 732 00:39:32.000 --> 00:39:33.719 this point, I don't even know if that would shock me. 733 00:39:33.840 --> 00:39:37.199 But you know, let's get into it here. The US's neighborhood, 734 00:39:37.199 --> 00:39:40.480 the North also focused on auto tariffs, implementing a twenty 735 00:39:40.480 --> 00:39:44.360 five percent import tax on American made vehicles. These teriffs, 736 00:39:44.400 --> 00:39:49.800 like the US counterparts, exclude US MCA automobiles. Shocker. We 737 00:39:49.840 --> 00:39:53.039 are responding today with and we responded throughout the day 738 00:39:53.079 --> 00:39:57.639 with carefully collaborated and targeted counter tariffs. Canadian Prime Minister 739 00:39:57.800 --> 00:40:01.280 Mark Carney reportedly said during a press coop difference Canada 740 00:40:01.320 --> 00:40:03.360 was included in the countries with a base tariff of 741 00:40:03.400 --> 00:40:07.760 ten percent under the pressure announced wednesday by Trump. Okay, 742 00:40:08.400 --> 00:40:11.039 let's just make sure we get that right here. We 743 00:40:11.239 --> 00:40:14.639 gave them a ten percent, just flat tariff that we've 744 00:40:14.679 --> 00:40:17.920 given to every other country as well. They responded with 745 00:40:17.960 --> 00:40:21.360 a twenty five percent tax on cars. I keep using 746 00:40:21.400 --> 00:40:26.679 the term tax, excuse me, tariff. That's not very reciprocal 747 00:40:26.760 --> 00:40:30.239 of them. But also we put that on all Canadian goods. 748 00:40:30.599 --> 00:40:33.480 They put it on just the automobiles. So like all right, 749 00:40:34.360 --> 00:40:36.599 Canada was included with the countries on the base of 750 00:40:36.599 --> 00:40:39.360 ten percent under a pause announced Wednesday by Trump, but 751 00:40:39.480 --> 00:40:42.159 since said but it was not immediately clear what that 752 00:40:42.199 --> 00:40:44.840 meant on tariff announced previously on the country that were 753 00:40:44.880 --> 00:40:50.960 not included in the reciprocal framework. Okay, so with that, 754 00:40:51.840 --> 00:40:54.320 he did put a hard pause on all tariffs, and 755 00:40:54.400 --> 00:40:57.199 as of this very moment, the only country that's being 756 00:40:57.280 --> 00:41:00.599 tariff that hard is China. Every the other one that 757 00:41:00.639 --> 00:41:03.719 he put that flat tariff on is currently lifted for 758 00:41:03.840 --> 00:41:07.079 ninety days. So he's giving them the opportunity before he 759 00:41:07.119 --> 00:41:09.880 puts the screws to them. He is giving them the 760 00:41:09.920 --> 00:41:14.199 opportunity to come to the negotiation table and make a deal. Again. 761 00:41:14.639 --> 00:41:16.519 Your boy wrote the book The Art of the Deal. 762 00:41:16.559 --> 00:41:21.119 This is how this goes down now, Negotiating Treasury Secretary 763 00:41:21.119 --> 00:41:25.039 of Scott Since said seventy countries had called to negotiate 764 00:41:25.079 --> 00:41:27.199 trade deals at the beginning of the week. Trump has 765 00:41:27.199 --> 00:41:29.800 posted on true social that he has met with or 766 00:41:29.880 --> 00:41:32.800 had calls with several countries. Below are some countries that 767 00:41:32.920 --> 00:41:36.880 are confirmed to be making an attempt to negotiate lower tariffs. Japan. 768 00:41:37.599 --> 00:41:40.039 Japanese government officials have been in talks with Trump since 769 00:41:40.039 --> 00:41:42.599 the beginning of last week beginning of the week excuse me. 770 00:41:42.599 --> 00:41:45.719 According to the reports, the country seeks to negotiate down 771 00:41:45.760 --> 00:41:48.239 the twenty four percent tariff that the US is charging 772 00:41:48.280 --> 00:41:51.760 on Japanese imports. Japan has long been an economic ally, 773 00:41:51.800 --> 00:41:54.800 with the US importing one hundred and forty eight point 774 00:41:54.840 --> 00:41:58.400 two billion dollars of goods from Japan last year, so 775 00:41:59.159 --> 00:42:01.199 I get it doesn't want to be tariffic that they're 776 00:42:01.239 --> 00:42:03.519 making that monet off of us, so they're willing to 777 00:42:03.599 --> 00:42:06.599 come to the negotiation table. Twenty four percent is not 778 00:42:06.679 --> 00:42:11.760 a little bit, Y'all's a that's a pretty hefty chunk. Vietnam. 779 00:42:12.880 --> 00:42:16.480 Vietnam's first attempt to deal with was dismissed by Trump's 780 00:42:16.480 --> 00:42:19.400 trade advisor Peter Navarro early in the week, but it 781 00:42:19.480 --> 00:42:22.639 reportedly is still attempting to negotiate with the administration. 782 00:42:23.159 --> 00:42:26.079 Many companies move their manufacturing out of China. 783 00:42:25.800 --> 00:42:28.519 In recent years, as wages have increased and tears put 784 00:42:28.559 --> 00:42:33.000 on China in Trump's first administration increased costs. Nike, for example, 785 00:42:33.320 --> 00:42:36.920 sources large portions of its shoes and apparel from Vietnam, 786 00:42:37.440 --> 00:42:41.880 according to its most recent annual report. So Vietnam started 787 00:42:41.880 --> 00:42:46.679 to become the new sweatshop country. Right, China had to 788 00:42:46.719 --> 00:42:50.800 increase wages. And that's another point. If the tariffs are 789 00:42:50.840 --> 00:42:54.519 going to hurt the American consumer, then why is China 790 00:42:54.519 --> 00:42:59.760 increasing their pay to their employees. Right? They're increasing the 791 00:42:59.800 --> 00:43:03.159 call of goods, which increases everything across the board. So 792 00:43:03.280 --> 00:43:06.480 China is feeling the effects of the tariffs that Trump 793 00:43:06.519 --> 00:43:08.800 put in on his first go round. Why are people 794 00:43:08.920 --> 00:43:11.880 all of a sudden believing that the Nike shoes will 795 00:43:11.880 --> 00:43:15.000 get more expensive in America. It gets more expensive for 796 00:43:15.079 --> 00:43:17.159 China to make them and send them to us, it 797 00:43:17.199 --> 00:43:19.599 doesn't get more expensive for us to buy them. This 798 00:43:19.760 --> 00:43:22.079 is proof in the pudding, if you will. So now 799 00:43:22.199 --> 00:43:25.039 Vietnam being the new sweatshop hub, or at least if 800 00:43:25.079 --> 00:43:28.000 some is getting these tariffs and they are trying to 801 00:43:28.039 --> 00:43:30.079 get a hold of the White House to make a negotiation, 802 00:43:30.440 --> 00:43:34.199 I like it South Korea. We're homers of South Korea. 803 00:43:34.599 --> 00:43:38.000 But also ever a body can get these tariffs. That's 804 00:43:38.039 --> 00:43:41.559 the motives operandi that Trump is working on right now. 805 00:43:41.920 --> 00:43:44.199 On Tuesday, Trump wrote on a social media site that 806 00:43:44.280 --> 00:43:47.360 True Social that he had a great call with South 807 00:43:47.400 --> 00:43:52.559 Korea Acting President and Prime Minister ham Duck Sou. I 808 00:43:52.639 --> 00:43:54.679 swear to God, I'm not mature enough to try to 809 00:43:54.679 --> 00:43:58.440 pronounce these names. I'm sorry. Uh have we have the 810 00:43:58.519 --> 00:44:02.039 confines and probability of a great deal for both countries, 811 00:44:02.079 --> 00:44:05.239 Trump wrote, Their top team is on a plane headed 812 00:44:05.239 --> 00:44:08.239 to the US and things are looking good. The US 813 00:44:08.320 --> 00:44:11.519 levied a twenty five percent tariff on South Korean goods 814 00:44:11.760 --> 00:44:15.079 when widespread tariffs went into effect in the early hours 815 00:44:15.119 --> 00:44:20.000 on Wednesday. Okay, so that's just a few of the countries. 816 00:44:20.000 --> 00:44:22.800 But we do have another list right here that shows 817 00:44:23.159 --> 00:44:26.039 every country working on trade deals with the US. And 818 00:44:26.079 --> 00:44:29.480 this was April seventh, so this is a couple of 819 00:44:29.519 --> 00:44:29.920 days ago. 820 00:44:31.360 --> 00:44:31.480 Uh. 821 00:44:31.719 --> 00:44:32.119 Israel. 822 00:44:32.639 --> 00:44:35.760 Israel Prime Minister Benjamin n Yahoo is in Washington, DC on. 823 00:44:35.719 --> 00:44:38.679 Monday to meet with Trump. Hashing out economic deal in 824 00:44:38.760 --> 00:44:43.760 the near is near the top of his priority list. Oh, 825 00:44:43.840 --> 00:44:47.280 go ahead, royceid know on this one. 826 00:44:47.920 --> 00:44:50.320 Actually, this actually has nothing to do with Israel. 827 00:44:50.360 --> 00:44:53.360 This was actually on the previous page where there was 828 00:44:53.360 --> 00:44:57.519 that picture of Trump holding the taxes because it seemed 829 00:44:57.559 --> 00:45:00.639 like on one hand, there are the blist was a 830 00:45:00.679 --> 00:45:04.360 lot higher than that which we were given as opposed 831 00:45:04.400 --> 00:45:09.159 to the other side, which is like so really even 832 00:45:09.280 --> 00:45:13.199 the tariffs that were given is not nearly as bad 833 00:45:13.239 --> 00:45:15.119 as what we're being getting. 834 00:45:15.559 --> 00:45:18.280 Yeah, I mean, oh no, no, there that have us 835 00:45:18.360 --> 00:45:21.039 under twenty five percent tariff. Trump just gave them ten 836 00:45:21.400 --> 00:45:23.599 and they are losing their minds about it. And the 837 00:45:23.679 --> 00:45:26.920 reason why is because America has way more consumers to 838 00:45:27.000 --> 00:45:30.679 buy their goods. I just heard of economic economists excuse me, 839 00:45:30.719 --> 00:45:31.679 talk about this earlier. 840 00:45:32.239 --> 00:45:35.559 For instance, the iPhone just shot out of a cannon. 841 00:45:35.599 --> 00:45:40.719 Here. It is much more advantageous for China to sell 842 00:45:40.880 --> 00:45:45.159 us the iPhone America the iPhone because more Americans can 843 00:45:45.239 --> 00:45:50.159 afford an iPhone, as opposed to them going to I 844 00:45:50.199 --> 00:45:54.840 don't know, Columbia and maybe be able to sell fifty 845 00:45:54.880 --> 00:45:59.760 thousand iPhones give or take. In America. That's like the 846 00:45:59.800 --> 00:46:02.519 most popular cell phone and we have a nation of 847 00:46:02.599 --> 00:46:06.239 hundreds of millions. So this is why they're absolutely feeling 848 00:46:06.239 --> 00:46:09.000 the brunt of this. So all these countries understand that 849 00:46:09.239 --> 00:46:11.960 they we will buy their shit. That's what America does. 850 00:46:12.000 --> 00:46:15.039 We buy things. We are a consumer nation, so any 851 00:46:15.119 --> 00:46:19.360 tariff put on them hurts their bottom dollar, it doesn't 852 00:46:19.440 --> 00:46:23.000 hurt us. So even a ten percent tariff levied against them, 853 00:46:23.039 --> 00:46:25.800 and even if it isn't in reciprocity, even if a 854 00:46:25.840 --> 00:46:29.039 country has a ten percent tariff on American goods, when 855 00:46:29.079 --> 00:46:31.679 America puts a ten percent tariff on their goods. 856 00:46:31.760 --> 00:46:34.440 They feel that way more than we do. 857 00:46:35.079 --> 00:46:37.400 But at the same time, if you're gonna play ball 858 00:46:37.559 --> 00:46:40.480 in our field, then you're gonna pay the ticket to 859 00:46:40.559 --> 00:46:42.840 play ball in our field. And at least that's the 860 00:46:42.920 --> 00:46:47.440 over under of what Trump's trying to get done. So 861 00:46:47.599 --> 00:46:50.360 all right, so net and Yahoo, long story short, he 862 00:46:50.440 --> 00:46:53.480 is trying to negotiate these tariffs out of his out 863 00:46:53.480 --> 00:46:56.559 of his way. Here Japan, we already talked about the UK. 864 00:46:57.599 --> 00:47:00.280 Britain was hit with a ten percent tariff, the least 865 00:47:00.400 --> 00:47:04.519 severe tier of Trump's wider tariff plan. Nevertheless, UK leaders 866 00:47:04.559 --> 00:47:07.000 say they hope to secure a carve out in the 867 00:47:07.079 --> 00:47:10.559 coming weeks, but they said the relatively low tariff level 868 00:47:10.639 --> 00:47:15.440 was already evidence of some success. Business Minister Jonathan Reynolds 869 00:47:15.480 --> 00:47:19.559 said negotiating negotiations are ongoing, telling reporters that it is 870 00:47:20.079 --> 00:47:23.320 not inaccurate. Jesus, I can't speak right now reporters that 871 00:47:23.360 --> 00:47:26.760 it is not inaccurate that the two sides have agreed 872 00:47:26.800 --> 00:47:29.280 to a deal. We've got to keep this work going, 873 00:47:29.360 --> 00:47:32.000 he said. Okay, so the UK is trying to play ball, 874 00:47:32.159 --> 00:47:34.320 and they're at least acknowledging that ten percent was the 875 00:47:34.360 --> 00:47:36.760 lowest rung of the tariff deal, so maybe they could 876 00:47:36.760 --> 00:47:41.519 schmooze their way into a lesser degree. Which, okay, that's fine. 877 00:47:41.559 --> 00:47:44.159 I don't know how much how many goods we buy 878 00:47:44.159 --> 00:47:48.199 from them, from industry or from you know, consumers, but sure. 879 00:47:48.400 --> 00:47:50.159 I mean, if they're able to wedge their. 880 00:47:50.079 --> 00:47:53.480 Way in, why not Vietnam go ahead? 881 00:47:53.599 --> 00:47:56.000 I have a quick question. Yeah, as far as the terriffs, 882 00:47:56.079 --> 00:47:56.920 so whatever we. 883 00:47:58.320 --> 00:48:00.639 Tax or whatever you want to call it another countries, 884 00:48:00.920 --> 00:48:03.559 where does that extra money go to. 885 00:48:03.559 --> 00:48:09.440 The United States government? Think about this, Think of it 886 00:48:09.519 --> 00:48:12.760 like this, a farmer's market. I think this is actually 887 00:48:12.760 --> 00:48:15.400 a way better example. If you want to set up 888 00:48:15.440 --> 00:48:17.559 a booth and a table at a farmer's market to 889 00:48:17.639 --> 00:48:20.880 sell your shit, right honey, whatever the case would be, 890 00:48:21.639 --> 00:48:25.280 you have to pay your booth fee to set up 891 00:48:25.280 --> 00:48:30.800 for the weekend, right. Sure, this is Trump forcing all 892 00:48:30.840 --> 00:48:33.880 of these countries to pay their booth fee. You want 893 00:48:33.880 --> 00:48:36.679 to sell your product at our market, you're going to 894 00:48:36.719 --> 00:48:41.960 pay the toll. So where if you're ready to go 895 00:48:42.119 --> 00:48:44.480 at a farmer's market to the owner of the land. 896 00:48:45.079 --> 00:48:45.480 Gotcha? 897 00:48:45.599 --> 00:48:47.880 So then does that money go into a budget for 898 00:48:47.920 --> 00:48:52.480 next year? Does it go into getting down our national debt? 899 00:48:52.559 --> 00:48:53.960 Do we have any idea if it's just going to 900 00:48:54.000 --> 00:48:57.360 be blown on maybe some politicians. 901 00:48:58.159 --> 00:49:01.320 So as of this moment, what I've heard the most 902 00:49:01.360 --> 00:49:04.239 of is that this money would go towards a paying 903 00:49:04.239 --> 00:49:08.519 off the national debt, b lowering the income tax required 904 00:49:08.559 --> 00:49:12.719 from the American citizens. See, this would go more towards 905 00:49:12.760 --> 00:49:16.840 the I don't want to say the dissolution of the IRS, 906 00:49:17.760 --> 00:49:21.079 but as they just fired half of the IRS employees 907 00:49:21.480 --> 00:49:24.679 during tax season, I think that that's more along the 908 00:49:24.760 --> 00:49:26.639 lines of what he's trying to do. Maybe not completely 909 00:49:26.679 --> 00:49:29.440 abolish the IRS, but make it to where people are 910 00:49:29.440 --> 00:49:32.920 not paying a third of their paychecks to the government. 911 00:49:34.400 --> 00:49:36.679 That would be nice, It would be very nice. It 912 00:49:36.679 --> 00:49:42.000 would be very very nice. And also it also goes 913 00:49:42.039 --> 00:49:46.320 in line with paying off our national debt because, okay, 914 00:49:48.199 --> 00:49:51.159 you know how whenever you owe an amount of money 915 00:49:51.400 --> 00:49:54.639 and it goes to a debt collection agency, you'll get 916 00:49:54.679 --> 00:50:00.079 a call from a Continental Continental debt collection right, and 917 00:50:00.079 --> 00:50:01.760 then you might pay a little bit, whatever the case 918 00:50:01.760 --> 00:50:05.000 would be. Three months later, you'll get a call from 919 00:50:06.079 --> 00:50:10.199 Golden Golf Coast collection agency. It's the same debt, it's 920 00:50:10.199 --> 00:50:12.599 the same bill, but now it's owned by another company. 921 00:50:12.960 --> 00:50:15.960 Maybe next year you'll get a call from a Snowy 922 00:50:16.000 --> 00:50:18.840 Mountain Peak collection agency, whatever the case would be. It's 923 00:50:18.840 --> 00:50:21.159 the same bill, but they have sold the debt and 924 00:50:21.199 --> 00:50:24.039 sold the debt and sold the debt. I think most 925 00:50:24.079 --> 00:50:28.639 people have understood that this happens right when America had 926 00:50:28.719 --> 00:50:33.079 a national debt. Okay, what they have done for years 927 00:50:33.079 --> 00:50:35.440 and years and years is they have taken that debt 928 00:50:35.480 --> 00:50:39.280 and put it on the open market. Okay, China owns 929 00:50:39.360 --> 00:50:43.000 a trillion dollars of America's debt, so it's not necessarily 930 00:50:43.000 --> 00:50:46.239 we owe China. We owe a debt that is now 931 00:50:46.320 --> 00:50:48.760 owned by China. So I guess it's six and one 932 00:50:48.800 --> 00:50:51.280 hand half dozen in the other But it's not necessarily 933 00:50:51.360 --> 00:50:56.400 us paying the CCP to relinquish ourselves of our own debt. 934 00:50:56.440 --> 00:50:58.880 But that is how they've operated for so long, and 935 00:50:58.920 --> 00:51:01.360 most countries do. By the way, Now, when a country 936 00:51:01.400 --> 00:51:03.679 goes into a national debt like this, they try to 937 00:51:03.679 --> 00:51:05.880 do things to try to like make up that difference. Right, 938 00:51:05.920 --> 00:51:09.840 They try to sell treasury bonds, They try to do 939 00:51:09.920 --> 00:51:11.960 things as far as the economy is concerned, to try 940 00:51:11.960 --> 00:51:15.239 to lessen that blow. But when it's to this scale, 941 00:51:15.360 --> 00:51:18.079 to the trillions of dollars, at a certain point, you 942 00:51:18.199 --> 00:51:20.559 have to sell that debt to someone, if you put 943 00:51:20.599 --> 00:51:23.079 it on the open market, rather than just pay the debt. 944 00:51:23.679 --> 00:51:27.920 And America has paid or sold the debt for decades. 945 00:51:28.400 --> 00:51:32.920 So there's multiple countries out there, and multiple big, big conglomerates, 946 00:51:33.079 --> 00:51:36.480 right the wroth Child's and I mean just like ooh child, No, no, 947 00:51:36.559 --> 00:51:40.639 no no, the global banking network owns a massive chunk 948 00:51:40.719 --> 00:51:42.280 of the American national debt. 949 00:51:43.000 --> 00:51:46.360 So, with that being said, if we were able to 950 00:51:46.599 --> 00:51:50.559 use the money made from these tariffs to a stop 951 00:51:50.679 --> 00:51:54.199 adding to the deficit, possibly get that national debt number 952 00:51:54.239 --> 00:51:56.960 that keeps rising and rising, maybe make that thing stop 953 00:51:57.079 --> 00:52:00.760 clicking up, that would be a massive win. Then we 954 00:52:00.800 --> 00:52:01.960 could start using. 955 00:52:01.679 --> 00:52:06.280 That hypothetically, hypothetically to start paying off some of these 956 00:52:06.320 --> 00:52:08.559 debts that have been bought and owned by other people. 957 00:52:09.119 --> 00:52:11.599 Because at that point, when another country owns a portion 958 00:52:11.679 --> 00:52:14.840 of our debt, they have leverage over us that they 959 00:52:14.840 --> 00:52:18.360 can call in whenever they want. Now, if they were 960 00:52:18.400 --> 00:52:21.159 to do that, that's the problem. Though you're calling in 961 00:52:21.840 --> 00:52:25.000 if China, for instance, I know I shit on them 962 00:52:25.000 --> 00:52:27.000 a lot, I will continue to do so, probably for 963 00:52:27.039 --> 00:52:29.400 the rest of my life, but neither of them. China 964 00:52:29.440 --> 00:52:32.440 owns a trillion dollars of our debt. If China decided 965 00:52:32.480 --> 00:52:36.800 to call in that debt and strong arm us into paying, 966 00:52:38.119 --> 00:52:41.400 we have the largest and most capable military on earth, 967 00:52:42.199 --> 00:52:45.000 that would more than likely lead to some sort of 968 00:52:45.079 --> 00:52:47.679 a false flag event and we would probably go to 969 00:52:47.920 --> 00:52:51.199 actual hot war with China rather than an economic cold war. 970 00:52:51.519 --> 00:52:54.159 And they know that, so that's why they don't do that. 971 00:52:54.239 --> 00:52:55.800 It's more like they're ace in the hole that they 972 00:52:55.800 --> 00:52:58.079 could call at any time, but they're not gonna call 973 00:52:58.119 --> 00:53:01.119 it ever because it also exposes their hand as far 974 00:53:01.159 --> 00:53:05.239 as that's concerned. These countries that own our debt are 975 00:53:05.280 --> 00:53:08.960 in that same boat. They have leverage against us, but 976 00:53:09.079 --> 00:53:13.920 they wouldn't dare call that leverage in if that makes sense. 977 00:53:16.039 --> 00:53:18.320 I don't know, maybe I'm completely no. 978 00:53:18.480 --> 00:53:19.960 I know it makes sense. 979 00:53:20.119 --> 00:53:23.039 Just it frustrates me that we are in this position 980 00:53:23.760 --> 00:53:28.599 of detriments and I just want us to get out 981 00:53:28.599 --> 00:53:30.960 of it. But it's like, since we are how many 982 00:53:31.039 --> 00:53:34.239 trillions in debt, getting it to stop will be fantastic, 983 00:53:34.960 --> 00:53:37.440 but it seems like it's gonna take just as long, if. 984 00:53:37.320 --> 00:53:39.960 Not longer, for it to go down. 985 00:53:41.559 --> 00:53:45.079 I mean, obviously the goal would be net zero, but 986 00:53:45.480 --> 00:53:47.960 I mean, how likely is that. 987 00:53:48.920 --> 00:53:51.559 It kind of depends on how successful these tariffs will go, 988 00:53:52.039 --> 00:53:57.079 because the that's the other thing too. Trump put down 989 00:53:57.079 --> 00:53:59.719 a ten percent flat tariff on pretty much every country, 990 00:53:59.760 --> 00:54:02.199 but then like, for instance, Vietnam, he hit them with 991 00:54:02.239 --> 00:54:05.519 a massive ninety percent tariff. Right in China's at one 992 00:54:05.599 --> 00:54:07.840 hundred and twenty five percent tariff as we speak. Some 993 00:54:07.880 --> 00:54:10.559 countries got a twenty five percent. It's all over the place, 994 00:54:10.920 --> 00:54:14.480 but there's reasons for it all. Now, if of the 995 00:54:14.599 --> 00:54:17.079 seventy to seventy five countries that have called the White 996 00:54:17.119 --> 00:54:20.039 House this week and are trying to work a deal, 997 00:54:20.480 --> 00:54:23.360 if they were to work a deal. That would help 998 00:54:23.440 --> 00:54:25.320 us because we would work a deal to where hey, look, 999 00:54:25.360 --> 00:54:27.800 you don't charge us, we don't charge you. So that 1000 00:54:27.920 --> 00:54:32.159 also helps our overall economy, our business, not you know, 1001 00:54:32.199 --> 00:54:35.000 maybe not you and me and the people listening right now, 1002 00:54:35.000 --> 00:54:38.840 but American industry. It would help business, which helps America 1003 00:54:39.440 --> 00:54:43.400 in any way, shape or form. But if these countries 1004 00:54:43.440 --> 00:54:46.719 don't come to the negotiation table, they will be slapped 1005 00:54:46.760 --> 00:54:50.320 with these tariffs, and Vietnam with a ninety percent tariff 1006 00:54:50.320 --> 00:54:52.920 put on them. The Nikes that are being made in 1007 00:54:52.920 --> 00:54:57.639 the Vietnamese sweatshops right now, Vietnam as a country will 1008 00:54:57.679 --> 00:55:01.440 now have to pay ninety cents on the dollar for 1009 00:55:01.559 --> 00:55:05.679 every dollar they make on US soil to the US government. 1010 00:55:07.039 --> 00:55:10.920 And I don't know if they're really willing to do such, 1011 00:55:11.480 --> 00:55:13.199 but if that was to happen, and that's just a 1012 00:55:13.280 --> 00:55:17.079 Nike example, there's tons of sweatshops in Vietnam. I think 1013 00:55:17.079 --> 00:55:18.960 there's still a communist country as a matter of fact, 1014 00:55:19.400 --> 00:55:22.559 or at least they If they're not they it's more 1015 00:55:22.599 --> 00:55:24.199 of a more recent thing only in the past few 1016 00:55:24.239 --> 00:55:26.480 decades that they swapped to a different but neither here 1017 00:55:26.480 --> 00:55:32.719 nor there, But they would lose their ass hard if 1018 00:55:32.719 --> 00:55:36.039 they were to agree to do or not fight this 1019 00:55:36.119 --> 00:55:37.599 in any way, shape or form. And it's not like 1020 00:55:37.599 --> 00:55:39.920 they could fight it in a military or economic way, 1021 00:55:40.199 --> 00:55:42.639 soil you have to come to the negotiation table or 1022 00:55:42.719 --> 00:55:44.559 eat it, and I don't believe they're going to be 1023 00:55:44.599 --> 00:55:46.360 willing to eat it. But that's how this works, That's 1024 00:55:46.360 --> 00:55:48.760 how this leverage game and this kind of big business 1025 00:55:48.800 --> 00:55:54.000 economics really happens played out. So couple this with DOGE 1026 00:55:54.400 --> 00:55:57.440 and all the wasteful spending that they are also finding 1027 00:55:57.480 --> 00:56:02.280 and bringing to light and stopping. I don't know what 1028 00:56:02.320 --> 00:56:04.480 the United States government will do with all of the 1029 00:56:04.559 --> 00:56:08.239 excess funds that they didn't have in the past few decades. 1030 00:56:08.639 --> 00:56:11.599 I have hopes, and that's a lot more than I 1031 00:56:11.599 --> 00:56:14.719 can say that I've had for this country since I've 1032 00:56:14.719 --> 00:56:15.199 been born. 1033 00:56:15.960 --> 00:56:17.880 So I'll take it as a win. Even if it's 1034 00:56:18.079 --> 00:56:19.719 a lowercase W, it's still a W. 1035 00:56:21.320 --> 00:56:21.880 I agreed. 1036 00:56:22.280 --> 00:56:24.920 Yeah. So, like I was saying here, Vietnam got hit 1037 00:56:24.960 --> 00:56:27.159 with a mass of ninety percent tariff and Trump announced 1038 00:56:27.239 --> 00:56:29.960 on Friday that he already had spoken to the nation's leader, 1039 00:56:30.039 --> 00:56:34.000 to Lom Toulm doesn't matter, Trump said, Lom has offered 1040 00:56:34.039 --> 00:56:37.280 a to completely eliminate all tariffs in a deal with 1041 00:56:37.320 --> 00:56:40.199 the United States through no formal agreement has been made. 1042 00:56:41.280 --> 00:56:43.480 Just had a very productive call with to lom Is 1043 00:56:43.559 --> 00:56:46.280 from Trump. As a matter of fact, General Secretary of 1044 00:56:46.320 --> 00:56:47.639 the Communist Party of Vietnam. 1045 00:56:47.719 --> 00:56:49.559 Oh, I was right, they are still a communist nation. 1046 00:56:49.719 --> 00:56:53.639 That's horrible. Yeah. Who told me that Vietnam wants to 1047 00:56:53.639 --> 00:56:56.719 cut their tariffs down to zero if they are able 1048 00:56:56.760 --> 00:56:59.199 to make an agreement with the United States. I thank 1049 00:56:59.280 --> 00:57:01.440 him on behalf of country and said I look forward 1050 00:57:01.440 --> 00:57:04.719 to meeting with him in the near future. That is 1051 00:57:04.719 --> 00:57:09.039 how deals get made. You absolutely strong arm them into compliance. 1052 00:57:09.119 --> 00:57:11.719 I love it. And the best part he strong armed 1053 00:57:11.719 --> 00:57:15.519 them into compliance without the threat of weapons, without the 1054 00:57:15.519 --> 00:57:18.239 threat threat of invasion, because that's been America's big jam 1055 00:57:18.320 --> 00:57:20.840 right as soon as something happens. Told that place needs 1056 00:57:20.840 --> 00:57:21.400 some freedom. 1057 00:57:22.159 --> 00:57:25.280 He's doing all this without trying to call upon the military. 1058 00:57:25.679 --> 00:57:28.199 And somehow the Democrats are still throwing shade. 1059 00:57:28.239 --> 00:57:32.199 It blows on mind. It blows on mind. Cambodia another 1060 00:57:32.360 --> 00:57:36.719 very sweatshop heavy country, I might add. Cambodia's Commerce ministry 1061 00:57:36.880 --> 00:57:40.880 reached out to the US Trade representative Jamison Greer with 1062 00:57:41.039 --> 00:57:43.679 an offer to cut tariffs on more than a dozen 1063 00:57:43.719 --> 00:57:47.920 categories of US goods from thirty five percent to five 1064 00:57:48.000 --> 00:57:51.079 percent last week, and that's what the Wall Street Journal 1065 00:57:51.119 --> 00:57:55.760 had reported on Trump's announcement last week. Hit Cambodia with 1066 00:57:55.800 --> 00:58:00.880 a forty nine percent tariff again, so they were charging 1067 00:58:00.960 --> 00:58:04.400 US thirty five cents on the dollar for everything America 1068 00:58:04.440 --> 00:58:08.559 made and sold in Cambodia. So Trump said, fine, you're 1069 00:58:08.559 --> 00:58:11.000 gonna pay US forty nine cents on the dollar. And 1070 00:58:11.079 --> 00:58:13.840 Cambodia has sweatshops and they sell a lot of things here. 1071 00:58:14.519 --> 00:58:16.599 By sel, I mean you'll see a tax saying made 1072 00:58:16.599 --> 00:58:19.960 in Cambodia or something to that effect. So now they're going, hey, 1073 00:58:20.559 --> 00:58:23.000 maybe thirty five's a bit hasty. Maybe we could charge 1074 00:58:23.039 --> 00:58:25.239 all five cents on the dollar. And Trump's like, I 1075 00:58:25.320 --> 00:58:28.400 look forward to talking to you. Yes, this is this 1076 00:58:28.440 --> 00:58:33.960 is beautiful Thailand again, very much so. Thai commerce minister. Yeah, 1077 00:58:34.000 --> 00:58:35.559 I'm not even going to try to pronounce that name 1078 00:58:35.679 --> 00:58:39.039 confirm to Reuters that he is seeking negotiations with the 1079 00:58:39.119 --> 00:58:42.679 United States, though the nation's government hasn't made it a 1080 00:58:42.840 --> 00:58:47.239 formal offer on the tariff charges. Well, he's looking to negotiate. 1081 00:58:47.559 --> 00:58:50.599 We'll see how that goes India. The White House hit 1082 00:58:50.639 --> 00:58:53.960 India with a twenty seven percent tariff, but India's leaders 1083 00:58:53.960 --> 00:58:56.960 are not considering retaliation, according to a government official who 1084 00:58:57.000 --> 00:59:00.280 spoke with Reuters. Instead, India has informed the US that 1085 00:59:00.320 --> 00:59:02.719 it is willing to cut tariffs on more than half 1086 00:59:02.760 --> 00:59:06.679 of US imports, totaling some twenty three billion dollars as 1087 00:59:06.760 --> 00:59:10.039 part of an initial deal. I'm liking the sound of 1088 00:59:10.039 --> 00:59:11.639 all of this thus far. I'm gonna be honest with you. 1089 00:59:12.320 --> 00:59:14.840 South Korea, we talked about that a minute ago. 1090 00:59:15.800 --> 00:59:17.960 I don't see any percentages really, but yeah, we covered 1091 00:59:17.960 --> 00:59:23.719 that already. Australia. Australia's Liberal Party leader Peter Dutton called 1092 00:59:23.760 --> 00:59:26.199 for a quick or for call for quick negotiations with 1093 00:59:26.199 --> 00:59:29.000 the United States last week, saying Australia could hope for 1094 00:59:29.039 --> 00:59:31.679 a good deal thanks to its access to critical minerals 1095 00:59:32.000 --> 00:59:34.960 and its close defense relationship with the United States in 1096 00:59:35.000 --> 00:59:38.239 the Indo Pacific. Reuters reported with that Royce, you had 1097 00:59:38.239 --> 00:59:41.360 brought up a moment ago about these things. Here, all right, 1098 00:59:41.760 --> 00:59:43.679 let's just look at this picture real quick. And this 1099 00:59:43.719 --> 00:59:45.159 is not the whole list. I think I haven't pulled 1100 00:59:45.239 --> 00:59:47.639 up in another article here, but all right, on the left, 1101 00:59:47.679 --> 00:59:50.440 we have tariffs charged to the United States, that's things 1102 00:59:50.440 --> 00:59:53.400 that we are paying to them, Like we're getting screwed here, 1103 00:59:54.440 --> 01:00:01.360 and the US discounted recipprocessual reciprocal jesus ris. Yeah, China 1104 01:00:01.800 --> 01:00:04.480 charges us sixty seven percent. We only have been charging 1105 01:00:04.480 --> 01:00:09.400 them thirty four okay, European Union thirty nine twenty, Vietnam 1106 01:00:09.840 --> 01:00:14.280 ninety forty six. Uh oh yeah, charge with the US, 1107 01:00:14.519 --> 01:00:20.639 Taiwan sixty four percent, the discount reciprocal tariffs thirty two percent, 1108 01:00:21.079 --> 01:00:25.320 Japan forty six and twenty four, India fifty two and 1109 01:00:25.400 --> 01:00:31.159 twenty six, South Korea fifty percent, twenty five percent, Thailand 1110 01:00:31.440 --> 01:00:37.760 seventy two percent, thirty six percent, Switzerland sixty one thirty one, 1111 01:00:38.440 --> 01:00:44.239 Indonesia sixty four percent, thirty two percent, Malaysia forty seven percent, 1112 01:00:44.599 --> 01:00:48.159 twenty four percent. So again, I'm liking this. I'm liking this. 1113 01:00:48.239 --> 01:00:49.920 There are some countries down here that are a ten 1114 01:00:49.960 --> 01:00:53.800 to ten swap, and like, okay, fair is fair. But yeah, 1115 01:00:53.920 --> 01:00:56.760 this is the overall plan. If they're not going to 1116 01:00:56.880 --> 01:00:58.679 give us a good deal, He's going to force them 1117 01:00:58.719 --> 01:01:00.639 to give us a good deal or they'll lose their 1118 01:01:00.840 --> 01:01:06.360 entire ass in the deal. I love this. Argentina is 1119 01:01:06.360 --> 01:01:08.199 one of the few countries that have already met with 1120 01:01:08.239 --> 01:01:11.480 the White House regarding a tariff deal. Argentine Foreign Minister 1121 01:01:11.679 --> 01:01:15.840 Heraldo Worthene Yeah, said he met with the US trade 1122 01:01:15.880 --> 01:01:19.480 negotiator Jameson Greer and the Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnik 1123 01:01:19.679 --> 01:01:23.119 on Thursday in Washington. He said he was hopeful that 1124 01:01:23.159 --> 01:01:28.280 he would soon come to an acceptable free trade agreement. Okay, Canada, 1125 01:01:28.320 --> 01:01:32.800 we talked about them a moment ago. Mexico. Mexican President 1126 01:01:32.840 --> 01:01:36.960 Claudia Sheenbaum confirmed last week that her economic minister would 1127 01:01:37.000 --> 01:01:39.320 be traveling to Washington, d c. And early April to 1128 01:01:39.360 --> 01:01:42.800 hold tariff negotiations. Yeah, I'll bet so. She said her 1129 01:01:42.840 --> 01:01:47.639 administration was particularly interested in auto, steel and aluminum industries. 1130 01:01:47.679 --> 01:01:52.920 According to CNN Switzerland, the Swiss President Karen Keller Sutter 1131 01:01:53.320 --> 01:01:55.880 said on Thursday that her country plans to seek trade 1132 01:01:55.880 --> 01:01:58.199 talks of Washington and her government has no plans to 1133 01:01:58.239 --> 01:02:01.239 retaliate with its own tariffs in the mean time. Very 1134 01:02:01.400 --> 01:02:03.679 very wise move of you, Malai. 1135 01:02:04.800 --> 01:02:07.360 What I said unlike a typical Karen. 1136 01:02:08.119 --> 01:02:11.159 I mean, yeah, that's but also look the way it's spelled. 1137 01:02:11.679 --> 01:02:15.599 It's not a typical Karen whitch Hey good things. I'm 1138 01:02:15.599 --> 01:02:18.639 glad that she's uh recognizing the writing on the wall 1139 01:02:18.679 --> 01:02:20.519 and is like, hey, bro, we don't want no smoke. 1140 01:02:20.880 --> 01:02:22.599 We're count We're down to come talk with you. And 1141 01:02:22.639 --> 01:02:25.400 he's like, yeah, come on, talk with me, all right. Malaysia. 1142 01:02:26.039 --> 01:02:28.800 Malaysian leaders have also confirmed that they will not retaliate 1143 01:02:28.800 --> 01:02:32.039 against Trump's tariffs. The nation's trade ministry said it is 1144 01:02:32.079 --> 01:02:35.599 looking to actively engage with the US to seek solutions 1145 01:02:35.639 --> 01:02:38.920 that will uphold the spirit of a free and fair trade. 1146 01:02:39.519 --> 01:02:42.039 Very good. We already talked about the EU a little bit. 1147 01:02:42.960 --> 01:02:47.400 Indonesia Trump's administry. Oh god, when that happens, hold only 1148 01:02:47.480 --> 01:02:53.119 on an ad'll pop up and it shifts the entire article. Indonesia. 1149 01:02:53.239 --> 01:02:57.000 Trump's administration smacked Indonesia with a thirty two percent tariff 1150 01:02:57.079 --> 01:03:00.639 last week. The president nope, I'm not even try that one. 1151 01:03:00.880 --> 01:03:04.000 The President of Indonesia has already dispatched a delegation to 1152 01:03:04.159 --> 01:03:07.920 Washington for negotiations before the tariffs take effect on Wednesday. 1153 01:03:08.920 --> 01:03:12.519 So again, as we see, without the use of military force, 1154 01:03:12.599 --> 01:03:16.280 without the threat of violence or anything like that, Trump 1155 01:03:16.360 --> 01:03:20.880 is making moves happen and again this makes me extremely happy. 1156 01:03:21.679 --> 01:03:23.679 You know, before I read any more of these articles, 1157 01:03:23.719 --> 01:03:25.760 I'm gonna go ahead and check out the chat because 1158 01:03:25.800 --> 01:03:27.199 I think there was some Yeah, there was some more 1159 01:03:27.239 --> 01:03:31.719 things dropped on this one. Here. Let's see here, that's 1160 01:03:31.719 --> 01:03:35.400 why I buy American whiskey over foreign whiskey, so says Alex, 1161 01:03:35.599 --> 01:03:39.920 I love it. What if countries were saw or what 1162 01:03:40.000 --> 01:03:44.480 if countries were saw blades? I mean, he didn't Argentina. 1163 01:03:44.519 --> 01:03:46.559 Didn't that prime minister come in with a chainsaw and 1164 01:03:46.639 --> 01:03:49.280 he was gonna cut tariffs and taxes out of his country, 1165 01:03:49.280 --> 01:03:51.239 which he did. He's kind of crazy, but in a 1166 01:03:51.239 --> 01:03:54.000 good way. And then Elon Musk did the exact same 1167 01:03:54.039 --> 01:03:55.679 thing later on, but then when he did it, he 1168 01:03:55.800 --> 01:04:01.480 was a psycho and whatever. Anyway, silks, okay, I had 1169 01:04:02.079 --> 01:04:04.000 I failed to see a problem at all trying to 1170 01:04:04.000 --> 01:04:07.199 consuct the agreed agreed Alex Jesu Pinge really needs to 1171 01:04:07.199 --> 01:04:08.400 suck a fat Richard. 1172 01:04:08.719 --> 01:04:08.840 Uh. 1173 01:04:09.760 --> 01:04:13.000 Let's see. Yeah, and they are communist assholes. WHOA all right, 1174 01:04:13.079 --> 01:04:15.599 so Raven has sent three different articles. Let me go 1175 01:04:15.599 --> 01:04:20.719 ahead and check those out. WHOA, Okay, that is not 1176 01:04:20.800 --> 01:04:23.239 what I thought they were gonna be about. But all right, 1177 01:04:23.360 --> 01:04:25.960 let's go to the next one here, Sorry, y'all. As 1178 01:04:26.320 --> 01:04:31.719 as the conversation goes on, we typically do veer off 1179 01:04:31.760 --> 01:04:35.920 of the main talking points, and that's completely fine. Absolutely 1180 01:04:36.800 --> 01:04:41.360 things going down in Texas, Texas ag probes controversial Muslim 1181 01:04:41.400 --> 01:04:46.199 centric development near Dallas. Oh of course they are. I 1182 01:04:46.199 --> 01:04:47.760 don't know why I'm even shocked anymore. 1183 01:04:48.440 --> 01:04:51.280 Also, all three articles are about the same thing, just 1184 01:04:51.360 --> 01:04:54.760 different perspectives and like different viewpoints. One of them is 1185 01:04:54.760 --> 01:04:57.960 from like inside Dallas that way, Like, there's not just 1186 01:04:58.000 --> 01:04:59.760 like a one sided thing, but there's a whole bunch 1187 01:04:59.760 --> 01:05:01.039 of differ articles about it. 1188 01:05:01.760 --> 01:05:05.400 Wow. Absolutely all right. Now I'm gonna go ahead and 1189 01:05:05.840 --> 01:05:08.440 share this Green woman another again. Let's get back at 1190 01:05:08.480 --> 01:05:12.679 it here. Let's see, we talked about that one already. 1191 01:05:12.719 --> 01:05:17.719 I think possibly possibly. Uh let's see, this is a 1192 01:05:17.920 --> 01:05:19.920 list of the worst hit countries, but I think we 1193 01:05:19.920 --> 01:05:22.280 already talked about that. Oh here's a better graft though, 1194 01:05:22.400 --> 01:05:26.199 which is I like that? Get that add there? Okay, 1195 01:05:26.239 --> 01:05:30.760 So the full list of Trump's reciprocal reciprocal God, why 1196 01:05:30.760 --> 01:05:33.239 do I keep messing that word up? My apology, y'all. 1197 01:05:33.920 --> 01:05:38.280 The full list of Trump's reciprocal tariffs by country, So 1198 01:05:38.760 --> 01:05:41.880 here we go. Here China and this was a couple 1199 01:05:41.920 --> 01:05:43.960 of days ago, because now it's one hundred and twenty 1200 01:05:44.000 --> 01:05:46.199 five percent on China, but as of this article is 1201 01:05:46.199 --> 01:05:48.039 writing eighty four percent. 1202 01:05:48.719 --> 01:05:48.840 Uh. 1203 01:05:48.920 --> 01:05:52.880 You know, I'm gonna move closer because that's tiny. Lesotho. 1204 01:05:53.760 --> 01:05:56.800 I think that's an African country fifty percent, Uh, Saint 1205 01:05:56.800 --> 01:06:01.519 Pierre and McKeon fifty percent, Cambodia forty nine percent, Lous 1206 01:06:01.559 --> 01:06:06.079 forty eight percent, Matta Gascar forty seven percent, Vietnam. 1207 01:06:05.679 --> 01:06:08.199 Forty six percent, Sri Lanka forty four. 1208 01:06:08.039 --> 01:06:12.159 Percent, Miammar formerly Burma forty four percent, which is kind 1209 01:06:12.159 --> 01:06:13.519 of crazy because they're still in the middle of a 1210 01:06:13.559 --> 01:06:16.079 civil war right now. Last I heard, the military hunt 1211 01:06:16.320 --> 01:06:18.800 is like backed up against the coast and they are 1212 01:06:18.840 --> 01:06:23.079 getting onslaughts by the rebel groups, but neither here nor there. 1213 01:06:23.800 --> 01:06:28.039 The Falkland Islands forty two percent, Syria forty one percent, 1214 01:06:28.480 --> 01:06:31.000 and that's another one. Syria has gotten to a point 1215 01:06:31.039 --> 01:06:33.960 where they're not a peaceful nation right now. But the 1216 01:06:34.039 --> 01:06:37.360 guy who's currently the warlord in charge seems to be 1217 01:06:37.440 --> 01:06:40.840 kind of a stamping out the wild things going on there, 1218 01:06:40.880 --> 01:06:43.000 and he's trying to restore some sort of assimbilance of 1219 01:06:43.079 --> 01:06:45.280 law and order. So, like you know, I'm not necessarily 1220 01:06:45.280 --> 01:06:48.239 a big fan of him by any means, but at 1221 01:06:48.320 --> 01:06:51.280 least some order is better than no order, So you know, 1222 01:06:51.320 --> 01:06:55.840 I'll give the props for they're due there. Uh Mauritius 1223 01:06:56.159 --> 01:07:00.480 forty percent, Iraq thirty nine percent, Botswan on A thirty 1224 01:07:00.519 --> 01:07:04.519 eight percent, Guyana thirty eight percent, Bangladesh thirty seven percent, 1225 01:07:04.639 --> 01:07:09.400 Serbia thirty seven percent, Liechtenstein thirty seven percent. That's something 1226 01:07:09.400 --> 01:07:10.800 you don't really hear a lot about is the nation 1227 01:07:10.840 --> 01:07:13.960 of Liechtenstein. But apparently they needed to catch them terraffs 1228 01:07:14.000 --> 01:07:18.960 as well. Reunion thirty seven percent, Thailand thirty six, Bosnia 1229 01:07:19.039 --> 01:07:23.719 and Herzegova thirty six, North Macedonia thirty three, Taiwan thirty two, 1230 01:07:23.840 --> 01:07:27.920 Indonesia thirty two, and Gola thirty two, Fiji thirty two. 1231 01:07:28.840 --> 01:07:35.960 Let's see Switzerland, Libya, and Moldova thirty one percent. South Africa, Nauru, Yep, 1232 01:07:36.039 --> 01:07:41.360 Algeria all of them thirty percent, Pakistan Norfolk Island both 1233 01:07:41.360 --> 01:07:45.000 of them twenty nine percent, Tunisia twenty eight. Let's see 1234 01:07:45.119 --> 01:07:48.760 Kazakhstan and India both twenty seven percent. South Korea and 1235 01:07:48.880 --> 01:07:53.400 Japan twenty five and twenty four percent, Malaysia and Brunei 1236 01:07:53.440 --> 01:07:58.719 twenty four percent, the naw Tou don't know how to 1237 01:07:58.719 --> 01:08:03.320 pronounce that one twenty three percent, the Ivory Coast twenty 1238 01:08:03.360 --> 01:08:07.119 one percent, Nambia twenty one percent, the EU and Jordan 1239 01:08:07.199 --> 01:08:15.320 both twenty percent, Nicaragua, Zimbabwe and my Maloi Yep eighteen percent, Israel, 1240 01:08:15.400 --> 01:08:20.960 the Philippines and Zambia seventeen percent, Mozambique in Norway both 1241 01:08:21.000 --> 01:08:26.039 sixteen percent, Venezuela and Nigeria fifteen and fourteen percent, Chad 1242 01:08:26.159 --> 01:08:30.399 Equatorial Guinea thirteen percent, Cameron twelve percent, and the Democratic 1243 01:08:30.399 --> 01:08:36.319 Republic of the Congo eleven percent. So again, I like 1244 01:08:36.399 --> 01:08:38.119 this a lot. And that's just the ones that got 1245 01:08:38.199 --> 01:08:41.560 hit the hardest. Every country got hit with a ten percent. 1246 01:08:42.039 --> 01:08:43.840 This is just the ones that are outside of that 1247 01:08:43.880 --> 01:08:46.560 ten percent. And again this was as of April nine, 1248 01:08:46.600 --> 01:08:48.960 so yeah, this is updated today. Go ahead, Royce, what 1249 01:08:49.039 --> 01:08:49.359 you got? 1250 01:08:50.119 --> 01:08:52.880 No, So it's interesting as far as that list, one 1251 01:08:52.880 --> 01:08:54.960 country that I didn't see was Iran. 1252 01:08:56.840 --> 01:09:01.159 So we have an embarbaro against Iran. Oh okay, yeah, 1253 01:09:01.199 --> 01:09:03.359 so we're not doing deals with them regardless, And I don't. 1254 01:09:03.920 --> 01:09:06.039 I honestly can't. Can't say the last time I saw 1255 01:09:06.039 --> 01:09:13.479 in Iranian make good in America. Actually, I'm assuming that's 1256 01:09:13.479 --> 01:09:15.760 a thing. I just I think we just have a 1257 01:09:15.760 --> 01:09:18.560 full on embargo against them, so the tarifflaw wouldn't even 1258 01:09:18.800 --> 01:09:21.039 do anything. Plus, I don't even think they make anything 1259 01:09:21.039 --> 01:09:21.800 that we would want. 1260 01:09:22.479 --> 01:09:23.760 I could be right, right, I guess. 1261 01:09:23.760 --> 01:09:25.520 I'm also just trying to think of where else we 1262 01:09:25.560 --> 01:09:28.680 get our fruit oil before we're. 1263 01:09:28.680 --> 01:09:30.600 Able to get our pipeline up and running. 1264 01:09:31.520 --> 01:09:33.840 Well, I mean, for now we buy a lot from 1265 01:09:33.920 --> 01:09:37.880 Saudi Arabia. But I mean, even still, even with that, 1266 01:09:38.640 --> 01:09:42.079 Trump just let out last week that the European Union, 1267 01:09:42.159 --> 01:09:45.359 for all their shit they talk about Russia and how, 1268 01:09:45.359 --> 01:09:47.079 oh my god, it's the biggest threat and all this 1269 01:09:47.119 --> 01:09:50.520 and this and this, they have bought more as far 1270 01:09:50.600 --> 01:09:53.119 as the money is concerned, the true numbers and facts 1271 01:09:53.119 --> 01:09:57.000 and figures, the European Union has spent more money to 1272 01:09:57.279 --> 01:10:00.760 buy Russian oil since the war began then they have 1273 01:10:00.920 --> 01:10:05.640 given to Ukraine to support them. And that's not even 1274 01:10:05.800 --> 01:10:08.159 He said this, and people are like, that's not true. 1275 01:10:08.279 --> 01:10:10.399 There's no way that yo. But if you actually look 1276 01:10:10.439 --> 01:10:13.159 at the numbers, they have spent. I think it's like 1277 01:10:13.199 --> 01:10:17.079 a three to one ratio that the European Union as 1278 01:10:17.079 --> 01:10:20.279 a whole has spent on buying Russian oil, keeping the 1279 01:10:20.359 --> 01:10:23.640 Russian economy afloat, and keeping the war going on longer 1280 01:10:24.319 --> 01:10:26.680 then they've actually given to Ukraine to help them win 1281 01:10:26.720 --> 01:10:31.840 the war. So yeah, the Europeans are buying their oil 1282 01:10:31.840 --> 01:10:34.520 from wherever. We buy a lot from Saudi Arabia, and 1283 01:10:34.560 --> 01:10:36.920 we buy a lot from the Arabic countries. And as 1284 01:10:36.960 --> 01:10:38.640 of right now, Trump is trying to get the whole 1285 01:10:38.720 --> 01:10:41.520 drill baby drill mindset going, which I know a ton 1286 01:10:41.560 --> 01:10:44.000 of guys in the oil field that are super happy 1287 01:10:44.039 --> 01:10:46.760 to hear that. By the way, the roughnecks are getting 1288 01:10:46.760 --> 01:10:51.520 back to work where they belong, I might add. But yeah, 1289 01:10:51.600 --> 01:10:53.399 let's see, there's another list. We already kind of went 1290 01:10:53.439 --> 01:10:55.119 down the list of the numbers and stuff like that, 1291 01:10:56.840 --> 01:10:59.760 but I don't know. I mean, there's multiple places where 1292 01:10:59.760 --> 01:11:02.479 they can get their oil from, and we have since, 1293 01:11:03.039 --> 01:11:05.279 you know, for a good long while. Here is this 1294 01:11:05.279 --> 01:11:07.239 what I yeah, already wrote this article. I can't believe 1295 01:11:07.239 --> 01:11:10.720 I had it up on air twice. Excuse me. The 1296 01:11:11.000 --> 01:11:14.800 Associated Press talking about the one hundred and twenty five 1297 01:11:14.840 --> 01:11:18.600 percent tariff on China. But I mean again, that's we've 1298 01:11:18.680 --> 01:11:22.680 kind of beaten that dead horse here. It says he 1299 01:11:22.760 --> 01:11:24.880 raised the tariffs one hundred and twenty five percent on Wednesday, 1300 01:11:24.920 --> 01:11:28.439 hours after China boasted or boosted the duty on American 1301 01:11:28.479 --> 01:11:31.239 goods to eighty four percent, and an escalating battle that 1302 01:11:31.279 --> 01:11:35.000 threatens to disrupt trade between the world's two largest economies. 1303 01:11:35.680 --> 01:11:38.399 Citing a lack of respect, Trump set China apart from 1304 01:11:38.439 --> 01:11:40.479 the other countries. He said in a social media post 1305 01:11:40.520 --> 01:11:43.800 that he is pausing his so called reciprocal tariffs. Gott 1306 01:11:43.800 --> 01:11:46.960 to write that time boys on many other trading partners 1307 01:11:46.960 --> 01:11:49.840 because they had responded by reaching out for talks rather 1308 01:11:49.880 --> 01:11:52.840 than retaliating. The tip for tat hikes between US and 1309 01:11:52.920 --> 01:11:55.399 China are the latest in an ongoing trade war that 1310 01:11:55.439 --> 01:11:59.039 threatens to raise prices for consumers in America and derailed 1311 01:11:59.079 --> 01:12:03.720 China's attempts to reinvigorate its sluggish economy. The response from 1312 01:12:03.720 --> 01:12:06.479 the Chinese government signals its determination not to been to 1313 01:12:06.520 --> 01:12:12.439 Trump's pressure despite the risks. Again, I really the Associated 1314 01:12:12.479 --> 01:12:17.199 Press being the overtly liberal publication that they are. Of 1315 01:12:17.279 --> 01:12:20.199 course they're gonna have some things about how this is 1316 01:12:20.199 --> 01:12:22.199 gonna hurt the American consumer. 1317 01:12:24.039 --> 01:12:26.600 However, that's not exactly a true statement. 1318 01:12:27.439 --> 01:12:32.359 So if it was, China wouldn't be increasing the price 1319 01:12:32.399 --> 01:12:34.359 of things in their own country to the level they 1320 01:12:34.399 --> 01:12:38.079 have been since Trump's initial tariffs on them took effect. 1321 01:12:38.680 --> 01:12:41.479 But I digress, all right now. I also wanted to 1322 01:12:41.479 --> 01:12:44.680 show this one Sky News Australia is speaking on this matter, 1323 01:12:44.680 --> 01:12:47.520 and again Australia just came to the negotiation table, they're 1324 01:12:47.520 --> 01:12:52.000 talking with Trump, all good things. But this news clip 1325 01:12:52.319 --> 01:12:56.520 shows democrats from years past saying the exact same thing 1326 01:12:56.880 --> 01:13:00.000 that Trump is saying right now, wishing that the president's 1327 01:13:00.119 --> 01:13:02.159 at the time would have done what Trump is doing 1328 01:13:02.279 --> 01:13:05.039 right now. But because it's Donnie t that's doing it, 1329 01:13:05.159 --> 01:13:08.560 obviously it is evil and I think it is worth 1330 01:13:08.640 --> 01:13:09.920 a watch. Let's check it out. 1331 01:13:10.239 --> 01:13:14.359 Nold Trump is not bluffing about tariffs. As most of 1332 01:13:14.399 --> 01:13:16.840 the world scrambles to book a meeting with the President 1333 01:13:16.920 --> 01:13:21.000 to negotiate a trade deal, China is only escalating tensions 1334 01:13:21.000 --> 01:13:22.720 with the United States. 1335 01:13:22.840 --> 01:13:26.840 As you know, against my statement, they put a thirty 1336 01:13:26.880 --> 01:13:31.600 four percent tariff on above what their ridiculous tariffs were already. 1337 01:13:32.479 --> 01:13:36.119 And I said, if that tariff isn't removed by tomorrow. 1338 01:13:35.680 --> 01:13:36.479 At twelve o'clock. 1339 01:13:36.840 --> 01:13:40.760 We're putting a fifty percent tariff on above the tariffs 1340 01:13:40.760 --> 01:13:43.359 that we put on. So they've done for years. They've 1341 01:13:43.399 --> 01:13:46.479 become a rich country because of people. Again that we're 1342 01:13:46.479 --> 01:13:48.279 in the White House that allowed this to happen. 1343 01:13:48.640 --> 01:13:51.359 And true to his word, Donald Trump slapped a further 1344 01:13:51.439 --> 01:13:53.880 tariff on China in a bid to level out the 1345 01:13:53.920 --> 01:13:54.640 playing field. 1346 01:13:55.359 --> 01:13:57.319 How about tariffs, Well, look, I just spoke to the 1347 01:13:57.359 --> 01:13:59.840 President about this, and he believes that China wants to 1348 01:13:59.840 --> 01:14:02.119 make a deal with the United States. He believes China 1349 01:14:02.159 --> 01:14:04.439 has to make a deal with the United States. It 1350 01:14:04.479 --> 01:14:06.439 was a mistake for China to retaliate. 1351 01:14:06.600 --> 01:14:07.199 The President. 1352 01:14:07.720 --> 01:14:10.960 When America is punched, he punches back harder. That's why 1353 01:14:10.960 --> 01:14:14.039 there will be one hundred and four percent tariffs going 1354 01:14:14.039 --> 01:14:17.680 into effect on China tonight at midnight. But the President 1355 01:14:17.680 --> 01:14:19.800 believes that she and China want to make a deal. 1356 01:14:19.800 --> 01:14:21.640 They just don't know how to get that started. And 1357 01:14:21.680 --> 01:14:23.640 the President also wanted me to tell all of you 1358 01:14:23.880 --> 01:14:25.760 that if China reaches out to make a deal, he'll 1359 01:14:25.800 --> 01:14:28.159 be incredibly gracious, but he's going to do what's best 1360 01:14:28.159 --> 01:14:28.960 for the American people. 1361 01:14:29.239 --> 01:14:30.279 China has to call first. 1362 01:14:30.680 --> 01:14:33.000 The Chinese want to make a deal, they just don't 1363 01:14:33.039 --> 01:14:35.239 know how to do it. But the President will be 1364 01:14:35.279 --> 01:14:38.319 implementing these one hundred and four percent tariffs on China tonight. 1365 01:14:38.600 --> 01:14:41.319 He doubled down at a Republican function just hours ago, 1366 01:14:41.600 --> 01:14:44.479 saying China will not be getting away with any more 1367 01:14:44.520 --> 01:14:46.279 abuse under his leadership. 1368 01:14:46.560 --> 01:14:49.880 What other presidents allow China to get away with is 1369 01:14:50.000 --> 01:14:53.119 absolutely criminal. But I'm not like the other presidents, and 1370 01:14:53.560 --> 01:14:56.359 it's not going to happen under President Trump. 1371 01:14:56.399 --> 01:14:57.439 It's just not going to happen. 1372 01:14:57.560 --> 01:15:01.520 After all of the abuses they've purpose traded, China's attempting 1373 01:15:01.600 --> 01:15:06.439 to impose additional unjustified tariffs just so you understand, they 1374 01:15:06.479 --> 01:15:07.800 all got rich because the tariffs. 1375 01:15:07.840 --> 01:15:08.960 You know, now when we do it. 1376 01:15:09.000 --> 01:15:12.319 Oh, it's so terrible what Trump is doing. It's so terrible. 1377 01:15:12.359 --> 01:15:15.960 They got rich, and not only China, many countries. I mean, 1378 01:15:16.000 --> 01:15:18.439 you look at Vietnam, you look at so many. I 1379 01:15:18.439 --> 01:15:23.279 could name fifty right now. Biden couldn't do that. You 1380 01:15:23.279 --> 01:15:26.920 couldn't have any name, one country, name any country. What's 1381 01:15:26.960 --> 01:15:30.199 the name of our country? He doesn't know. That's why 1382 01:15:30.239 --> 01:15:34.000 additional tariffs and Chinese goods are in place effective midnight 1383 01:15:34.039 --> 01:15:38.479 tonight at one hundred and four percent until they make 1384 01:15:38.520 --> 01:15:40.319 a deal with us. That's what it's going to be. 1385 01:15:40.399 --> 01:15:42.159 I think they'll make a deal at some point. 1386 01:15:43.119 --> 01:15:45.960 China will. They want to make a deal, they really do. 1387 01:15:46.079 --> 01:15:46.800 They want to make it deal. 1388 01:15:46.880 --> 01:15:47.960 They just don't know how to get it. 1389 01:15:48.000 --> 01:15:49.239 So, because they're. 1390 01:15:49.119 --> 01:15:55.159 Proud people, China will now pay a big number to 1391 01:15:55.399 --> 01:15:59.039 our treasury. Is all taxes. And don't let them keep 1392 01:15:59.079 --> 01:16:01.560 telling you that this is a tax on our people. 1393 01:16:01.600 --> 01:16:03.199 I hate that, you know, they say it's a text. 1394 01:16:03.319 --> 01:16:05.399 Now often much of it is paid. 1395 01:16:05.560 --> 01:16:07.319 And hey, look what. 1396 01:16:07.359 --> 01:16:09.920 Happened during my first term. We had no inflation. 1397 01:16:10.399 --> 01:16:13.640 And in response to the mammoth tariff, China hit back 1398 01:16:13.680 --> 01:16:18.159 with a very bizarre boycott. Chinese media are reporting that 1399 01:16:18.239 --> 01:16:22.439 they will ban American films, which elicited a hilarious response 1400 01:16:22.479 --> 01:16:27.279 from American commentators. This person said, China is banning Hollywood 1401 01:16:27.319 --> 01:16:30.760 films as a result of the tariffs. If only I cared, 1402 01:16:31.359 --> 01:16:35.279 Hollywood is morally bankrupt and will soon be financially bankrupt. 1403 01:16:35.680 --> 01:16:37.760 Couldn't happen to a better group of people. 1404 01:16:38.600 --> 01:16:42.199 I just want to throw this out here China, the 1405 01:16:42.359 --> 01:16:46.800 communist country, is saying they're going to ban American movies 1406 01:16:46.880 --> 01:16:50.560 in their country. I'm pretty sure they already had pretty 1407 01:16:50.560 --> 01:16:53.760 harsh restrictions on what kind of Western media they allow 1408 01:16:55.800 --> 01:16:59.960 right off the rib. But okay, that's that's a flat 1409 01:17:00.960 --> 01:17:06.000 That's one of the flexes of the century, honestly. And also, listen, y'all, 1410 01:17:06.399 --> 01:17:09.880 anytime that the news puts out these Chinese military parades 1411 01:17:09.920 --> 01:17:12.479 and all of this, I've had this ask to me 1412 01:17:12.560 --> 01:17:14.199 quite a few times, and I'm gonna get back to 1413 01:17:14.199 --> 01:17:17.239 this video. I promise you it gets better. But they've asked, 1414 01:17:17.399 --> 01:17:21.800 why doesn't America do military parades or victory parades like 1415 01:17:21.880 --> 01:17:24.479 this to show America's might and all of these things 1416 01:17:24.560 --> 01:17:26.960 like Russia does it, North Korea does it, China does it. 1417 01:17:26.960 --> 01:17:32.079 Why don't we do it? Because to scale that just 1418 01:17:32.119 --> 01:17:36.439 throwing this out here, for America to send all of 1419 01:17:36.439 --> 01:17:40.439 its humb's just throwing it out to DC and to 1420 01:17:40.640 --> 01:17:45.079 let one of them roll every minute, it would take 1421 01:17:45.159 --> 01:17:46.560 three days. 1422 01:17:48.079 --> 01:17:49.880 That's why we don't do those types. 1423 01:17:49.680 --> 01:17:53.399 Of parades in this country because it's not Why why 1424 01:17:53.439 --> 01:17:55.279 would we do such a thing. We don't need to 1425 01:17:55.359 --> 01:17:58.039 flex our military might It's kind of like that old 1426 01:17:58.079 --> 01:18:01.039 adage from the Game of Thrones, right, he who is 1427 01:18:01.159 --> 01:18:05.720 king doesn't have to tell you he's king. I'm gonna 1428 01:18:05.760 --> 01:18:07.079 leave that there, let's continue. 1429 01:18:07.800 --> 01:18:08.640 But some are. 1430 01:18:08.560 --> 01:18:12.840 Taking the move more seriously, Noting the substantial revenue that 1431 01:18:12.880 --> 01:18:17.800 flows into Hollywood from China. This commentator said recent data 1432 01:18:17.880 --> 01:18:21.640 shows Hollywood films generated more box office revenue in China 1433 01:18:21.960 --> 01:18:26.319 than in the US, highlighting their significant profitability in the market. 1434 01:18:28.279 --> 01:18:31.760 This commentator agreed, saying China to ban Hollywood films in 1435 01:18:31.840 --> 01:18:36.159 retaliation for Trump tariffs five hundred million in US box 1436 01:18:36.199 --> 01:18:38.680 office at risk and whilst the. 1437 01:18:38.600 --> 01:18:42.920 Democrat again, is anybody actually upset by that like any 1438 01:18:42.960 --> 01:18:47.720 normal people? Is anybody, like any normal American citizen like 1439 01:18:47.920 --> 01:18:54.880 super upset that Hollywood might suffer from this? I'm pretty 1440 01:18:54.920 --> 01:18:58.319 sure most of us can't stand Hollywood, But all right, 1441 01:18:58.479 --> 01:19:00.079 moving on, crowd's. 1442 01:18:59.720 --> 01:19:03.840 A deicizing the Trump administration for their courageous tariffs. It 1443 01:19:03.880 --> 01:19:07.960 seems as though they do actually agree with him. Resurf 1444 01:19:07.960 --> 01:19:11.479 It's footage of Chuck Schumer passionately advocating for a twenty 1445 01:19:11.520 --> 01:19:15.359 seven point five percent tariff on China in two thousand 1446 01:19:15.359 --> 01:19:19.079 and five sounds remarkably similar to the point Trump has 1447 01:19:19.119 --> 01:19:19.680 been making. 1448 01:19:20.159 --> 01:19:26.039 It says to the Chinese enough already. It says to 1449 01:19:26.079 --> 01:19:32.319 the Chinese that their unfair trade policies have got to end. 1450 01:19:33.520 --> 01:19:35.439 It says to the Chinese, this. 1451 01:19:35.399 --> 01:19:40.119 Is a shot across your bow reform, because if you don't, 1452 01:19:41.279 --> 01:19:46.560 there are going to be dramatic consequences throughout the world, 1453 01:19:47.199 --> 01:19:52.199 in our country and in your country as well. The 1454 01:19:52.199 --> 01:19:56.279 bottom line is very simple, mister President. The Chinese have 1455 01:19:56.479 --> 01:20:00.880 enjoyed a huge trade surplus with the United States, as 1456 01:20:00.920 --> 01:20:05.640 this chart shows, every year it gets larger and larger 1457 01:20:05.680 --> 01:20:06.319 and larger. 1458 01:20:06.640 --> 01:20:09.479 And if we go further back, Nanci Pelosi echoed the 1459 01:20:09.520 --> 01:20:12.720 same criticism against China in nineteen ninety six. 1460 01:20:13.439 --> 01:20:18.199 How far does China have to go, how much more repression, 1461 01:20:19.119 --> 01:20:22.439 how big a trade deficit and loss of jobs for 1462 01:20:22.479 --> 01:20:26.600 the American worker, and how much more dangerous proliferation has 1463 01:20:26.640 --> 01:20:30.840 to exist before members of this House of Representatives will say, 1464 01:20:31.159 --> 01:20:32.840 I will not endorse. 1465 01:20:32.600 --> 01:20:33.520 The status quo. 1466 01:20:34.720 --> 01:20:37.840 As I mentioned, it's about jobs, proliferation, and human rights. 1467 01:20:37.880 --> 01:20:39.880 And there are those who say we shouldn't link human 1468 01:20:39.960 --> 01:20:42.199 rights in trade and proliferation and trade. 1469 01:20:42.239 --> 01:20:43.159 I disagree. 1470 01:20:43.600 --> 01:20:45.560 But if we just want to take up this issue 1471 01:20:45.560 --> 01:20:50.199 on the basis of economics alone. Indeed, China should not 1472 01:20:50.279 --> 01:20:52.680 receive Most Favored Nation status. 1473 01:20:52.840 --> 01:20:56.039 And in twenty twelve, Barack Obama took a similar hardline 1474 01:20:56.079 --> 01:20:57.880 stance against China. 1475 01:20:58.039 --> 01:21:00.279 We had a tire case in which they were utting 1476 01:21:00.359 --> 01:21:05.279 us with cheap domestic tires or cheap Chinese tires, and 1477 01:21:05.319 --> 01:21:07.880 we put a stop to it and as a consequence, 1478 01:21:08.000 --> 01:21:11.880 saved jobs throughout America. I have to say that Governor 1479 01:21:11.920 --> 01:21:15.560 Romney criticized me for being too tough in that tire case, 1480 01:21:16.079 --> 01:21:18.479 said this wouldn't be good for American workers, and then 1481 01:21:18.520 --> 01:21:21.199 it would be protectionists. But I tell you those workers 1482 01:21:21.279 --> 01:21:22.199 don't feel that way. 1483 01:21:22.520 --> 01:21:25.439 But of course when Trump does it, the Democrats lose 1484 01:21:25.479 --> 01:21:26.159 their minds. 1485 01:21:26.560 --> 01:21:31.319 This newfound hatred of tariffs from the left stands in 1486 01:21:31.479 --> 01:21:34.680 stark opposition to what Democrats were saying in the past. 1487 01:21:37.359 --> 01:21:43.159 Beautifully said, beautifully said, I love it. I absolutely love it. 1488 01:21:43.159 --> 01:21:46.720 They throw shade when it, you know, goes in line 1489 01:21:46.720 --> 01:21:49.720 with them, and then they also take a stance when 1490 01:21:49.720 --> 01:21:52.479 it's not anyway. At home, real quick, we're going to 1491 01:21:52.560 --> 01:21:54.279 check out the chat real quick. If anybody wants to 1492 01:21:54.359 --> 01:21:56.720 chime in with some thoughts. Please feel free to do so. 1493 01:21:56.960 --> 01:22:00.319 No need to raise a hand here. Let's see the hell. 1494 01:22:00.399 --> 01:22:04.359 Now is a perfect time to buy before everything skyrockets. Yes, 1495 01:22:04.600 --> 01:22:07.760 but also I would I am very curious to see 1496 01:22:07.800 --> 01:22:11.319 which items and which types of things actually do skyrocket 1497 01:22:11.399 --> 01:22:14.039 and how many of these things actually go down in price, 1498 01:22:14.760 --> 01:22:18.199 because now that we're imposing tariffs on them, maybe they'll 1499 01:22:18.199 --> 01:22:19.319 come off of it a little bit. 1500 01:22:20.239 --> 01:22:22.760 I don't know that for a fact. I'm excited to 1501 01:22:22.800 --> 01:22:23.720 see what happens next. 1502 01:22:23.720 --> 01:22:26.319 Thus far, it's been nothing but green lights as far 1503 01:22:26.359 --> 01:22:30.159 as my research is shown. Yep, I'm giddy and feel 1504 01:22:30.159 --> 01:22:33.199 better for it. Thank you, Merlin. I agree good things there. 1505 01:22:33.840 --> 01:22:37.119 I'm glad that the trend is lower. Hold on, Raven, 1506 01:22:37.199 --> 01:22:42.960 you sent something here. What is this representative? Marjorie Taylor Green? Okay, 1507 01:22:43.840 --> 01:22:46.960 China should stop murdering Americans with fentanyl instead of trying 1508 01:22:46.960 --> 01:22:49.760 to fight a tariff battle they can't win. God, I 1509 01:22:49.760 --> 01:22:53.079 love when she talks that shit. Absolutely, America is a 1510 01:22:53.079 --> 01:22:56.600 consumption economy and we have the upper hand, and China 1511 01:22:56.680 --> 01:22:59.680 imposes the death penalty for selling drugs in their own country, 1512 01:23:00.039 --> 01:23:03.279 So they need to stop being hypocrites and stop murdering Americans. 1513 01:23:03.600 --> 01:23:06.680 I agree with what Miss Green is saying. However, that's 1514 01:23:06.720 --> 01:23:09.720 also I think that's China's ploy, right. Wasn't it just 1515 01:23:09.760 --> 01:23:13.239 a couple of years ago that they showed that baby 1516 01:23:13.279 --> 01:23:17.640 toys from China actually had lead paint on them, and 1517 01:23:17.680 --> 01:23:20.000 it was, like, I kind of think it was a 1518 01:23:20.039 --> 01:23:23.279 long form way of trying to reduce America's population, whether 1519 01:23:23.319 --> 01:23:25.960 we're at an actual war with China or a Cold 1520 01:23:26.000 --> 01:23:29.399 war or an economic war. Listen, the fact of the 1521 01:23:29.399 --> 01:23:32.800 matter is China is currently our biggest enemy, our biggest 1522 01:23:32.840 --> 01:23:35.520 threat to the American way of life. I know that's 1523 01:23:35.560 --> 01:23:39.439 going to be counterintuitive to what some people believe, and 1524 01:23:39.479 --> 01:23:42.399 that whole situation with Obama, with the with the tires, 1525 01:23:42.520 --> 01:23:46.239 you know, sales and all of that. Mitt Romney one 1526 01:23:46.279 --> 01:23:49.199 of the most prolific rhinos to ever walk through DC. 1527 01:23:50.159 --> 01:23:53.880 Let's not forget his kid was also involved in the 1528 01:23:53.880 --> 01:23:59.000 Beisma scandal in Ukraine alongside Hunter Biden, alongside Chelsea Clinton. 1529 01:23:59.520 --> 01:24:02.000 So to see that he was also super in bed 1530 01:24:02.039 --> 01:24:05.079 with China with a tire deal, that also sounds like 1531 01:24:05.119 --> 01:24:07.279 it's pretty much the standard. 1532 01:24:07.600 --> 01:24:11.359 Mitt Romney's kind of been a cuck for way too long. 1533 01:24:11.399 --> 01:24:14.920 Here, Merlin says, you know, I feel bad about anyone 1534 01:24:15.000 --> 01:24:18.680 whose retirement was in for one case, but I've got 1535 01:24:18.680 --> 01:24:20.800 to say, it's really hard to choose which stock to 1536 01:24:20.840 --> 01:24:25.279 pick since all of them are so low. Yes, I 1537 01:24:25.319 --> 01:24:27.800 agree with that. However, the S and P five hundred 1538 01:24:27.840 --> 01:24:33.960 is currently up three thousand points, So I mean I 1539 01:24:34.000 --> 01:24:38.279 and again I I can't get down with the stock market. 1540 01:24:38.720 --> 01:24:41.319 I'm not good at gambling. I never have been, and 1541 01:24:41.359 --> 01:24:45.760 I understand it's in a style of investing, not knocking it, 1542 01:24:45.880 --> 01:24:48.920 not throwing shade. I just also don't get down with 1543 01:24:48.920 --> 01:24:51.800 it myself because it's nothing that you can actually bank on. 1544 01:24:52.199 --> 01:24:54.720 The stocks go up and down based off of who 1545 01:24:54.760 --> 01:24:58.760 won the last election. You know, it plummets for any 1546 01:24:58.840 --> 01:25:01.439 reason that it just decided to do. Bubbles happen and 1547 01:25:01.479 --> 01:25:04.640 then they burst, and there's so much outside sources that 1548 01:25:04.680 --> 01:25:08.279 can affect it. I don't see that as a viable 1549 01:25:08.319 --> 01:25:11.119 retirement option, although it's the most viable that most people 1550 01:25:11.159 --> 01:25:14.279 deal with. And I agree, there's a lot of people 1551 01:25:14.279 --> 01:25:17.680 that have absolutely lost their ass in the four oh 1552 01:25:17.720 --> 01:25:21.479 one k in the stock markets under Biden since Trump's 1553 01:25:21.479 --> 01:25:24.039 been in. Yeah, it took it took a good spike, 1554 01:25:24.319 --> 01:25:26.640 then it dipped a little bit. Today it's at a 1555 01:25:26.680 --> 01:25:29.399 massive spike. The pendulum is gonna swing both ways on this. 1556 01:25:29.560 --> 01:25:31.800 I know that it's gonna come down, that three thousand 1557 01:25:31.880 --> 01:25:34.560 is not gonna stay where it's at, but I also 1558 01:25:34.600 --> 01:25:37.039 have hopes that it will continue to go up. The 1559 01:25:37.079 --> 01:25:41.000 American economy seems to be in a very upward trajectory, 1560 01:25:41.399 --> 01:25:43.800 especially now that these terrifts are getting put on countries. 1561 01:25:43.840 --> 01:25:48.520 So I have hopes. That's just me here, let's see, 1562 01:25:48.600 --> 01:25:53.720 let's continue here, Raven said super off note, but multiple 1563 01:25:53.800 --> 01:25:58.399 articles dropped women over forty having babies or having babies 1564 01:25:58.800 --> 01:26:03.600 that team for the first time in decades. Oh, women 1565 01:26:03.640 --> 01:26:06.640 over forty are having more babies than teens for the 1566 01:26:06.680 --> 01:26:11.119 first time in decades. I find that to be good. Yes, 1567 01:26:11.560 --> 01:26:13.800 I mean not necessarily the over forty part. Fine, whatever, 1568 01:26:13.840 --> 01:26:15.680 I don't you know, as long as you're doing it 1569 01:26:15.960 --> 01:26:18.560 healthily and you're not putting yourself for the baby at risk. Fine, 1570 01:26:18.560 --> 01:26:21.920 But like, that's good that adults are having more kids 1571 01:26:21.960 --> 01:26:24.680 than teenagers for the first time in a long time. 1572 01:26:24.760 --> 01:26:27.000 That's a very positive step in the right direction of 1573 01:26:27.000 --> 01:26:31.119 my opinion. But hey, positive things here. It's like the 1574 01:26:31.119 --> 01:26:36.319 South Park episode when China was consensoring everything, and Randy 1575 01:26:36.359 --> 01:26:39.359 had to kill Winnie the Pooh. I couldn't give less 1576 01:26:39.359 --> 01:26:42.760 of a fuck about some dumbass communist lepon. Yes, Alex, Yes, 1577 01:26:43.000 --> 01:26:45.680 I absolutely agree. It's good. 1578 01:26:45.760 --> 01:26:48.399 On here it says, uh, what do you mean, Eu Loo, 1579 01:26:48.520 --> 01:26:49.479 She's a total fox? 1580 01:26:49.560 --> 01:26:55.439 Wait? Which one? Pelosi br Okay Merlin, Okay, I'm gonna 1581 01:26:55.439 --> 01:26:58.520 need you to justify that statement. Yes, I know that 1582 01:26:58.640 --> 01:27:01.840 Nancy Pelosi's got them heavy's owner. I wouldn't call her 1583 01:27:01.840 --> 01:27:04.239 a fox. Mighty means dude. I mean maybe in her 1584 01:27:04.279 --> 01:27:08.760 younger days. Maybe, I don't know. 1585 01:27:09.000 --> 01:27:11.960 That's the total opinion. They asked about context. I should 1586 01:27:12.000 --> 01:27:15.520 have put parentheses around total fair. 1587 01:27:15.399 --> 01:27:18.079 Enough, fair enough, fair enough. Although I did find it 1588 01:27:18.159 --> 01:27:23.479 interesting that her and Chuck Schumer and Obama were all 1589 01:27:23.520 --> 01:27:31.199 saying the same thing about tariffs on China that yeah, that's. 1590 01:27:29.720 --> 01:27:32.640 Totally crazy like but that seems to be the cycle 1591 01:27:32.680 --> 01:27:37.119 with everything, Like before Trump was all all against COVID 1592 01:27:37.119 --> 01:27:39.560 and saying it was from China. Everybody was selling him 1593 01:27:39.560 --> 01:27:42.159 to lock down, do this, do that, do this, it's 1594 01:27:42.239 --> 01:27:44.279 China's bah blah blah blah. Can you just say something? 1595 01:27:44.640 --> 01:27:46.199 And then they all turned on him. As soon as 1596 01:27:46.199 --> 01:27:51.119 he started saying something yeah, it was like, hmmm, but 1597 01:27:51.199 --> 01:27:53.359 with that whole thing, that's that's crazy. Like did you 1598 01:27:53.399 --> 01:27:56.319 see how before the COVID virus got locked down and 1599 01:27:56.439 --> 01:27:59.840 the lockdowns happened, that they were actually protesting in China 1600 01:28:00.079 --> 01:28:03.319 because they wanted democracy rights, And then all of a sudden, 1601 01:28:05.199 --> 01:28:08.319 this COVID virus gets put out and everything goes on lockdown, 1602 01:28:08.359 --> 01:28:12.119 shutting down their protests completely. That blew my mind. I 1603 01:28:12.159 --> 01:28:13.000 was like, why isn't that. 1604 01:28:12.920 --> 01:28:13.840 In the news. 1605 01:28:14.319 --> 01:28:19.520 Well, the news that we get out of China is 1606 01:28:19.840 --> 01:28:23.399 very heavily scripted. It's like news from Russia. It's Russian 1607 01:28:23.439 --> 01:28:26.359 state media, So I mean, it's never going to be 1608 01:28:26.359 --> 01:28:30.159 the entire full story. There is currently riots in Moscow 1609 01:28:30.399 --> 01:28:34.039 and in Saint Petersburg all over Russia calling for Putin 1610 01:28:34.079 --> 01:28:37.000 to be brought down. Well, we'll never hear about that, 1611 01:28:37.279 --> 01:28:39.239 or at least not on any kind of mainstream source. 1612 01:28:39.279 --> 01:28:42.119 If anything's going to be fringe and quote unquote tabloid sources, 1613 01:28:42.159 --> 01:28:44.680 because oh no, the Russians love Putin. 1614 01:28:44.920 --> 01:28:51.800 He's there, exalted leader, bro. He has sent how many millions. 1615 01:28:51.039 --> 01:28:54.840 Or to the front lines. I think their death toll, right, 1616 01:28:54.880 --> 01:29:00.279 now is rapidly approaching. Well, I say death toll, it's 1617 01:29:00.319 --> 01:29:05.039 a casualty toll, because not all casualties end in death. 1618 01:29:05.840 --> 01:29:08.960 But yo, they have absolutely lost over half a million, 1619 01:29:09.000 --> 01:29:11.840 if not approaching six hundred thousand right now. And I 1620 01:29:11.880 --> 01:29:14.640 mean that's not a good thing. And nobody in Russia 1621 01:29:14.640 --> 01:29:16.279 won it in the first place, no matter what the 1622 01:29:16.319 --> 01:29:19.479 media will tell you that they wanted. It's yeah, but 1623 01:29:19.640 --> 01:29:21.760 of course we're not going to hear that. China with 1624 01:29:21.840 --> 01:29:25.600 the same thing going on. They had riots all over 1625 01:29:25.760 --> 01:29:29.840 China before the lockdowns happened, then the lockdowns took place, 1626 01:29:29.880 --> 01:29:33.239 and again it's I would rather the lockdowns in China 1627 01:29:33.359 --> 01:29:37.560 over Tianaman square two point oh. But what's to say 1628 01:29:37.600 --> 01:29:39.840 that they didn't have a version of Tianaman square two 1629 01:29:39.880 --> 01:29:42.840 point zero and they just kind of never talked about 1630 01:29:42.840 --> 01:29:47.800 it because China has no problems losing a million people tomorrow. 1631 01:29:47.920 --> 01:29:50.159 They don't care. If anything, I would actually help them 1632 01:29:50.239 --> 01:29:52.760 less mouths to feed, which is the other side of 1633 01:29:52.760 --> 01:29:56.000 this coin. With all these tariffs that America's putting on 1634 01:29:56.079 --> 01:30:00.279 China and China's putting on America, their biggest export from 1635 01:30:00.439 --> 01:30:05.640 US that they require like to survive is soy. They 1636 01:30:05.680 --> 01:30:10.640 buy a metric fuck ton of American soy just to 1637 01:30:10.760 --> 01:30:14.840 feed their people because they are starving there. Maybe not 1638 01:30:14.880 --> 01:30:17.840 to the level of North Korea starving, but like the Chinese, 1639 01:30:18.640 --> 01:30:21.359 the Chinese government cannot produce enough food to feed all 1640 01:30:21.359 --> 01:30:22.760 of the mouths that they've created. 1641 01:30:23.159 --> 01:30:25.600 That's why they put the single child policy in place. 1642 01:30:26.319 --> 01:30:29.000 Now, with that, they screwed themselves out of their biggest 1643 01:30:29.079 --> 01:30:32.720 economic push, which was their manpower, their sweatshop labor force. 1644 01:30:33.159 --> 01:30:36.079 That's gone. That is now, and in the next twenty 1645 01:30:36.079 --> 01:30:38.960 to thirty years, the workforce that will be required to 1646 01:30:39.079 --> 01:30:42.800 maintain what China has won't be there. So that's why 1647 01:30:42.880 --> 01:30:47.119 China's been taking more of an economic approach to capitalizing 1648 01:30:47.119 --> 01:30:49.920 on the situation more than a manpower approach because they 1649 01:30:49.920 --> 01:30:53.359 no longer have that advantage, but they still have these 1650 01:30:53.399 --> 01:30:57.600 mouths to feed, and they are buying American soy. And 1651 01:30:57.680 --> 01:31:00.279 now America just said, Okay, you're gonna charge us this 1652 01:31:00.439 --> 01:31:04.520 much money to buy our products that you require to 1653 01:31:04.600 --> 01:31:08.640 feed your people. Fine, we can play this game. So 1654 01:31:08.760 --> 01:31:12.800 I'm yeah, interesting stuff, interesting stuff across the board here. 1655 01:31:13.680 --> 01:31:16.640 I'm gonna share the screen again one more time, and 1656 01:31:16.680 --> 01:31:19.279 we're gonna hear from mister wonderful. Y'all know that I'm 1657 01:31:19.479 --> 01:31:21.119 a bit of a fan of his as far as 1658 01:31:21.199 --> 01:31:24.399 his uh, his money mind works. And yes, he is 1659 01:31:24.439 --> 01:31:27.359 a dick, I'm aware of that, but he's a dick 1660 01:31:27.399 --> 01:31:29.640 that knows how to make money. And he's the type 1661 01:31:29.680 --> 01:31:31.840 of dude that knows how to make money, make money. 1662 01:31:32.359 --> 01:31:34.680 He's very much like Trump in so many regards. So 1663 01:31:35.000 --> 01:31:36.680 let's see what he has to say about all of this. 1664 01:31:36.880 --> 01:31:38.600 A lot of all AXI leave in the market right now. 1665 01:31:38.600 --> 01:31:42.319 And here's why this uncertainty in terms of how long 1666 01:31:42.399 --> 01:31:45.000 these tariffs will be in place. Everybody understands that Donald 1667 01:31:45.000 --> 01:31:48.720 Trump's a negotiator. He's using these tools to negotiate what 1668 01:31:48.840 --> 01:31:52.359 he wants, in very simple terms, is reciprocal tariffs on 1669 01:31:52.520 --> 01:31:54.359 every product in every country. 1670 01:31:54.520 --> 01:31:55.520 There are different schedules. 1671 01:31:55.520 --> 01:31:57.760 India has a different one than Ireland has, in Canada has, 1672 01:31:57.800 --> 01:32:00.119 in Mexico has. But he's just doing it right across 1673 01:32:00.119 --> 01:32:00.960 the Board's saying, look. 1674 01:32:00.840 --> 01:32:02.640 It's gonna charge us one hundredercent tariffs. We're going to 1675 01:32:02.720 --> 01:32:03.560 charge one hundred percent. 1676 01:32:03.760 --> 01:32:07.039 The idea eventually is to have free trade with no tariffs. 1677 01:32:07.199 --> 01:32:09.439 The question the market's asking is how long is that 1678 01:32:09.520 --> 01:32:13.039 going to take? And that's why you're seeing this volatility. However, 1679 01:32:13.079 --> 01:32:15.840 the economy is still pretty strong, so this may be 1680 01:32:15.920 --> 01:32:17.039 a buying opportunity. 1681 01:32:17.239 --> 01:32:18.039 You just don't know. 1682 01:32:18.199 --> 01:32:22.079 So you layer in, you nibble, as I like to say, 1683 01:32:22.239 --> 01:32:24.159 and I've been doing a little nibbling. But you see 1684 01:32:24.199 --> 01:32:26.359 the volatility in the market, you've got to get used 1685 01:32:26.399 --> 01:32:26.600 to it. 1686 01:32:26.960 --> 01:32:31.399 Yeah, that makes your stomach feel cuasy, Get over it, okay. 1687 01:32:32.079 --> 01:32:34.079 So basically that was in reference to what's going on 1688 01:32:34.159 --> 01:32:35.039 with the stock market. 1689 01:32:35.079 --> 01:32:37.680 And yes, the volatility is not going to feel good, 1690 01:32:37.760 --> 01:32:42.239 especially especially for people that had their entire retirement wrapped 1691 01:32:42.279 --> 01:32:44.159 up in four one k's that are based off of 1692 01:32:44.159 --> 01:32:47.920 the stock spikes. I get it. But at the same time, 1693 01:32:48.520 --> 01:32:51.840 if these other countries can play ball and remove all tariffs, 1694 01:32:52.199 --> 01:32:55.479 that's good for all parties. If they don't and the 1695 01:32:55.520 --> 01:32:58.159 tariffs stay at a ten percent, ten percent, twenty five, 1696 01:32:58.239 --> 01:33:01.319 twenty five, whatever the case would be, then everybody's eating. 1697 01:33:01.079 --> 01:33:05.800 Either way that goes, everybody eats, and all right, that's 1698 01:33:05.840 --> 01:33:07.800 the way it's gotta happen. That's the way it's gotta happen. 1699 01:33:09.279 --> 01:33:11.279 I don't exactly know what the future is gonna hold. 1700 01:33:11.279 --> 01:33:14.159 As far as the stock market's concerned, I don't see 1701 01:33:14.199 --> 01:33:18.960 it going down like into the you know, deficit or 1702 01:33:18.960 --> 01:33:21.800 anything like that. I don't see a crash happening anytime soon. Again, 1703 01:33:22.199 --> 01:33:24.359 speaking completely out of my ass on this, I'm not 1704 01:33:24.399 --> 01:33:27.399 an economist. I don't even fully understand how the stock 1705 01:33:27.439 --> 01:33:30.319 market operates. Watching Wolf of Wall Street taught me that 1706 01:33:30.359 --> 01:33:33.319 it's all ethereal faery dust. It's nothingness that people are 1707 01:33:33.319 --> 01:33:37.760 betting on, basically, and I don't understand it. But that 1708 01:33:37.880 --> 01:33:43.319 being said, what these companies could do, okay, foreign companies, 1709 01:33:43.359 --> 01:33:46.960 American companies, whatever the case. If they were to build 1710 01:33:47.279 --> 01:33:54.720 manufacturing facilities on US soil, the products sold that were 1711 01:33:55.079 --> 01:34:01.319 made in the local facility wouldn't be tariffed. So the 1712 01:34:01.399 --> 01:34:05.399 other side of that would be that name a foreign 1713 01:34:05.520 --> 01:34:09.520 company doesn't matter who makes a product in a foreign country. 1714 01:34:10.000 --> 01:34:13.840 If they were to set up a facility in America 1715 01:34:14.039 --> 01:34:16.720 to make the product and sell it to the Americans, 1716 01:34:17.439 --> 01:34:20.119 the tariff is no longer valid. It goes away. It 1717 01:34:20.159 --> 01:34:24.520 was made in America, probably by American workers for the 1718 01:34:24.560 --> 01:34:30.279 American consumer. So either a, they will give Americans jobs 1719 01:34:31.000 --> 01:34:33.000 if it doesn't get taken over by robotics and AI. 1720 01:34:33.319 --> 01:34:37.039 I understand. I understand. The theory here is that it 1721 01:34:37.039 --> 01:34:41.239 would open up more job opportunities for Americans. B. It 1722 01:34:41.239 --> 01:34:45.520 would equalize the economies to where nobody's getting shafted or 1723 01:34:45.600 --> 01:34:48.119 everybody's getting shafted equally, and by everybody, I mean government 1724 01:34:48.159 --> 01:34:54.079 to government, not the consumer. C. It could potentially make 1725 01:34:54.119 --> 01:34:57.479 it to where all these tariffs go away and it's 1726 01:34:57.560 --> 01:35:01.680 cheaper to buy everything. So, as far as I can tell, 1727 01:35:02.199 --> 01:35:06.399 making it a reciprocal tariff situation will lead to a 1728 01:35:06.399 --> 01:35:09.560 a good option, be an okay option, or see a 1729 01:35:09.560 --> 01:35:14.000 good option. It doesn't seem like a negative at this point. 1730 01:35:14.039 --> 01:35:17.640 Now again, that remains to be seen because this just 1731 01:35:17.680 --> 01:35:20.079 started to take place. Trump hadn't even been in office 1732 01:35:20.119 --> 01:35:22.920 six months yet. Can y'all imagine what we'll be talking 1733 01:35:22.920 --> 01:35:25.119 about when it comes time for his turn to be 1734 01:35:25.239 --> 01:35:28.920 over and all the things that he has done. I'm 1735 01:35:28.960 --> 01:35:31.760 just saying, it's wild things go ahead, Merlin. 1736 01:35:33.520 --> 01:35:35.239 That's one thing I've been thinking about a lot too. 1737 01:35:35.319 --> 01:35:38.680 Like it's a Republican party wants to keep all of 1738 01:35:38.680 --> 01:35:39.720 this implemented. 1739 01:35:41.560 --> 01:35:43.680 They need to start like. 1740 01:35:45.439 --> 01:35:47.479 Going out and hitting the streets now, like finding a 1741 01:35:47.520 --> 01:35:51.159 good candidate to take over for him, because I don't 1742 01:35:51.199 --> 01:35:53.439 really like jd. Vance, Like the boy's got mouth on 1743 01:35:53.520 --> 01:35:55.720 him and he seems to pipe off way too much, 1744 01:35:56.359 --> 01:35:58.920 Like wait, wait he did with Zelenski, Like there's a 1745 01:35:59.000 --> 01:36:05.600 more gentleman way of doing that. Yeah, yeah, I was like, 1746 01:36:06.000 --> 01:36:07.800 do you just kind of watch it from me right there? 1747 01:36:09.479 --> 01:36:12.960 But yeah, in four years, the Democrats are more likely 1748 01:36:13.000 --> 01:36:14.800 going to get back in because the penzel m Away 1749 01:36:14.880 --> 01:36:17.439 swings really far one way goes back the other way. 1750 01:36:18.680 --> 01:36:21.119 I see that at all. I don't even know who 1751 01:36:21.119 --> 01:36:23.840 the Democrats could put up, though, I've heard a few 1752 01:36:23.880 --> 01:36:28.960 different political talking heads say this, dude, the Liberal Party. 1753 01:36:29.319 --> 01:36:32.680 The Democrats have gone so far off the rails with 1754 01:36:32.720 --> 01:36:37.039 the wild and psychotic rhetoric that the only way that 1755 01:36:37.079 --> 01:36:39.479 you could be a quote unquote true Democrat in the 1756 01:36:39.560 --> 01:36:43.399 political sphere anymore is if you side with that far left, 1757 01:36:43.560 --> 01:36:47.159 psycho extremist side of things. All the Republicans have to 1758 01:36:47.159 --> 01:36:50.319 do is put up a semi normal candidate against one 1759 01:36:50.359 --> 01:36:54.439 of these psychopaths. And it's like, I think that I've 1760 01:36:54.479 --> 01:36:57.079 heard some people say that if they just continue down 1761 01:36:57.119 --> 01:37:00.800 this road, the Democrats will never win another election in America. 1762 01:37:01.520 --> 01:37:03.920 I don't know that to be a fact. But I 1763 01:37:03.960 --> 01:37:06.800 could also see a world where Trump is grooming Don 1764 01:37:06.920 --> 01:37:10.680 Junior or Ivanka to run behind him and kind of 1765 01:37:10.680 --> 01:37:16.039 make a Trump dynasty happen. Yeah, I don't. I know. 1766 01:37:16.720 --> 01:37:20.279 AOC seems like a pretty good like. She speaks to 1767 01:37:20.319 --> 01:37:21.279 the younger popularity. 1768 01:37:21.319 --> 01:37:23.800 Like my little brother loves AOC and I don't really 1769 01:37:23.840 --> 01:37:25.119 see why. 1770 01:37:25.359 --> 01:37:30.359 But I don't understand it with AOC, dude, she's a socialist, 1771 01:37:31.079 --> 01:37:35.279 loud and proud proclaimed socialist. I don't think that she 1772 01:37:35.359 --> 01:37:39.560 will win an American election. There's no way. The closest 1773 01:37:39.640 --> 01:37:42.359 that they had to running a socialist was Bernie Sanders, 1774 01:37:42.560 --> 01:37:44.319 and they cut his legs out from under him in 1775 01:37:44.319 --> 01:37:46.880 favor of killery, and then we saw how well that 1776 01:37:46.920 --> 01:37:47.840 worked out. 1777 01:37:48.239 --> 01:37:51.079 AOC speaks to the younger generation. I'll give you that, 1778 01:37:51.680 --> 01:37:54.840 But most of that younger generation hasn't truly entered the. 1779 01:37:54.760 --> 01:37:58.399 Workforce just yet. They may have just broke out, you 1780 01:37:58.399 --> 01:38:00.119 know what I mean, Or they're still in college and 1781 01:38:00.119 --> 01:38:02.199 they haven't really gotten a taste of what the actual 1782 01:38:02.279 --> 01:38:06.199 real world is like yet. I have this weird, sneaking suspicion. 1783 01:38:06.279 --> 01:38:09.039 You notice that too, most of these college kids that 1784 01:38:09.039 --> 01:38:11.840 are like bleeding heart liberals while they're at these universities 1785 01:38:11.840 --> 01:38:16.079 and stuff, become wildly conservative by the time they're thirty five. 1786 01:38:16.840 --> 01:38:18.479 Whenever they get a job that has a four oh 1787 01:38:18.520 --> 01:38:20.920 one K and they realize that their votes actually can 1788 01:38:20.960 --> 01:38:24.239 equate to their retirement possibilities, all of a sudden, they 1789 01:38:24.279 --> 01:38:26.960 start voting a whole different way. Now, aside from the 1790 01:38:27.000 --> 01:38:28.359 big cities. You're never going to get out of it 1791 01:38:28.399 --> 01:38:31.039 with the big cities. But by and large, a lot 1792 01:38:31.039 --> 01:38:34.039 of these people that keep thinking these things, like these 1793 01:38:34.039 --> 01:38:36.840 younger kids that we always see on the news that 1794 01:38:36.920 --> 01:38:40.239 these riots and protests cut to them. Ten years later, 1795 01:38:40.319 --> 01:38:44.920 they sing a completely different tune. I don't really see 1796 01:38:44.920 --> 01:38:47.359 AOC having a snowballs chance in hell of winning an 1797 01:38:47.359 --> 01:38:52.439 election against even a moderate conservative, especially after Donald Trump 1798 01:38:52.439 --> 01:38:56.079 with these types of economic policies. All the Republicans have 1799 01:38:56.119 --> 01:38:59.800 to do is pick any guy that can do what 1800 01:39:00.000 --> 01:39:02.439 Trump did, or at least following those footsteps and kind 1801 01:39:02.439 --> 01:39:05.239 of ride that wave. I see the next two or 1802 01:39:05.239 --> 01:39:07.720 three elections going to the Republican side if they can 1803 01:39:07.800 --> 01:39:09.960 just do that. And again I agree with you, they 1804 01:39:09.960 --> 01:39:12.760 have to start grooming somebody for that position now. But 1805 01:39:12.840 --> 01:39:15.560 I also think that Trump thinks five steps ahead. I 1806 01:39:15.600 --> 01:39:19.119 think that he's probably got somebody in the in the 1807 01:39:19.159 --> 01:39:23.640 line that he's thinking that he would endorse. And I 1808 01:39:23.680 --> 01:39:26.800 also feel like an endorsement from Trump would go a 1809 01:39:26.840 --> 01:39:28.920 hell of a long way as far as the way 1810 01:39:28.960 --> 01:39:32.560 Americans see things in the current standings. But I agree 1811 01:39:32.600 --> 01:39:34.600 with you one hundred percent, go ahead, Royce. 1812 01:39:35.600 --> 01:39:37.840 So the only thing that I have to say about 1813 01:39:37.880 --> 01:39:42.159 AOC is in the chat pretty much. And it seems 1814 01:39:42.239 --> 01:39:46.399 like most people on the Cult of Conspiracy slash Cajun 1815 01:39:46.479 --> 01:39:53.079 night peoples. We know that AOC is vapid, she is 1816 01:39:53.439 --> 01:39:54.680 full of nonsense. 1817 01:39:54.920 --> 01:39:57.000 She's socialists. 1818 01:39:57.159 --> 01:39:59.840 But I think that the people that are just looking 1819 01:39:59.880 --> 01:40:05.359 at her as a container and not what the content is. 1820 01:40:06.319 --> 01:40:08.600 I think that's the thing is people see her as 1821 01:40:08.640 --> 01:40:12.560 being young and oh, look, she came from being a bartender, and. 1822 01:40:12.479 --> 01:40:14.199 She's she is charismatic. 1823 01:40:14.680 --> 01:40:16.720 There's one thing that we can say is that she 1824 01:40:16.840 --> 01:40:20.239 tries to be very charismatic, and unfortunately, people who are 1825 01:40:20.319 --> 01:40:28.960 very charismatic can lure and low people to a horrendous degree. Also, 1826 01:40:29.439 --> 01:40:34.239 people in the opposite party, they're going to say, oh, 1827 01:40:34.520 --> 01:40:37.000 oh my god, we've had all these years of years 1828 01:40:37.000 --> 01:40:38.199 of Trump, But we can't have. 1829 01:40:38.159 --> 01:40:41.279 Any more and no more dynasty, no more of this, 1830 01:40:41.439 --> 01:40:41.720 no more. 1831 01:40:41.800 --> 01:40:45.880 It's like they're going to be doubling down as well, 1832 01:40:45.920 --> 01:40:48.079 because then obviously, but we're going to have you know, 1833 01:40:48.199 --> 01:40:51.239 four years or three and a half four years by 1834 01:40:51.279 --> 01:40:51.800 that point. 1835 01:40:52.239 --> 01:40:53.520 But they're just looking at her. 1836 01:40:53.399 --> 01:41:01.800 As being a young female, charismatic, attractive woman, and they're like, Okay, 1837 01:41:01.880 --> 01:41:04.880 well this is I mean, she's a face, you know, 1838 01:41:05.159 --> 01:41:08.880 just like with some of the other people have been 1839 01:41:09.000 --> 01:41:10.960 for the last you know, X amount of years it 1840 01:41:11.079 --> 01:41:14.279 has been, you know, a puppet. 1841 01:41:15.399 --> 01:41:21.319 I agree, I absolutely agree, And yeah, charismatic quote unquote. 1842 01:41:21.479 --> 01:41:24.720 I'll give you that, she can speak, and yeah, the 1843 01:41:24.720 --> 01:41:27.600 younger population, the younger generation sees her as some sort 1844 01:41:27.600 --> 01:41:34.560 of a i'll use the term inspiration very very loosely here, 1845 01:41:34.600 --> 01:41:37.439 but yeah, I agree with you. But yeah, she's she's 1846 01:41:37.479 --> 01:41:41.600 got nothing of substance, Like even the what was that 1847 01:41:41.640 --> 01:41:43.920 picture with the whole kids in cages thing, and she 1848 01:41:44.000 --> 01:41:46.680 went to the border and was like screaming and wailing 1849 01:41:46.720 --> 01:41:49.720 at the chain link fence because she was so broken hearted. 1850 01:41:49.960 --> 01:41:51.960 Then you pan out and she's outside of a parking 1851 01:41:52.000 --> 01:41:55.479 lot like it was. It was not even pretend it 1852 01:41:55.520 --> 01:41:57.840 was a whole photo op that was trying to be 1853 01:41:57.960 --> 01:42:01.079 used by the media in that way. I don't. And 1854 01:42:01.159 --> 01:42:04.159 besides that, she's also one of the psycholiberals like she 1855 01:42:04.359 --> 01:42:08.640 sides with. And it's not even just the I see you, Alex, 1856 01:42:08.680 --> 01:42:10.479 I see you talking that tranny shit over it. And 1857 01:42:10.560 --> 01:42:13.880 it's not even that. It's not even the LGBTQ element 1858 01:42:13.920 --> 01:42:19.800 O p whatever group, right. It is the socioeconomic policies 1859 01:42:20.199 --> 01:42:23.680 and the social policies and the just day to day 1860 01:42:23.760 --> 01:42:27.800 living standards that that side is now saying should be normal. 1861 01:42:28.600 --> 01:42:32.159 And it's the American people have spoken, we don't want 1862 01:42:32.159 --> 01:42:36.319 that existence, we don't want that reality for ourselves. I 1863 01:42:36.319 --> 01:42:38.439 don't think that she understands that, because I think she 1864 01:42:38.560 --> 01:42:41.880 also lives in an echo chamber of that psychosis, if 1865 01:42:41.920 --> 01:42:44.920 you will. But yeah, no, I agree with you, Royce. 1866 01:42:44.960 --> 01:42:48.800 I don't see her getting the nomination, at least for 1867 01:42:48.840 --> 01:42:49.359 a good bit. 1868 01:42:49.439 --> 01:42:49.600 Now. 1869 01:42:49.640 --> 01:42:56.439 I have heard some again psychopaths say that ilam Omar, 1870 01:42:56.880 --> 01:43:01.600 y'all know who I'm talking about, the the representative from 1871 01:43:01.840 --> 01:43:04.279 was it Michigan or something like that, the one that 1872 01:43:04.319 --> 01:43:07.680 always wears the turban and shit. Never mind the fact 1873 01:43:07.680 --> 01:43:11.640 that she married her brother, which is also confirmed right 1874 01:43:11.800 --> 01:43:15.960 she she married her actual brother to get a visa 1875 01:43:16.000 --> 01:43:18.039 to move to the US and then try to claim 1876 01:43:18.079 --> 01:43:20.199 that in their culture that's very normal. And it's like 1877 01:43:22.039 --> 01:43:26.079 you you understand you said this out loud on the mic, 1878 01:43:26.640 --> 01:43:29.640 and like it's this is what I'm saying, dude, it is. 1879 01:43:29.800 --> 01:43:32.680 It's not even throwing shade. It's more or less just 1880 01:43:32.720 --> 01:43:36.000 like repeating the things that they said out loud, and 1881 01:43:36.039 --> 01:43:38.560 then they say it like we're making fun of them. 1882 01:43:38.600 --> 01:43:41.880 It's like, no, we're you said it. This is a 1883 01:43:41.920 --> 01:43:45.560 you thing, AOC with the same way the whole Yeah, 1884 01:43:45.600 --> 01:43:50.279 it's I don't really see the Liberals having any candidate 1885 01:43:50.439 --> 01:43:56.119 that could potentially even look like a decent option currently anyway. 1886 01:43:56.119 --> 01:43:57.840 Now, maybe they could start shifting gears. 1887 01:43:58.720 --> 01:44:01.119 Maybe they could pull their head out of their collective 1888 01:44:01.119 --> 01:44:04.479 asses and put somebody up that's got, you know, maybe 1889 01:44:04.520 --> 01:44:06.279 a couple of brain cells to rub together. 1890 01:44:07.000 --> 01:44:09.439 Maybe say like, look y'all, I'm just left of center. 1891 01:44:09.840 --> 01:44:11.920 The d by my name isn't like I'm not one 1892 01:44:11.920 --> 01:44:15.239 of those Democrats, I'm like one of these Maybe they 1893 01:44:15.279 --> 01:44:18.520 could do that. I just I don't see it, because 1894 01:44:18.520 --> 01:44:21.279 in order to win the democratic election in your local 1895 01:44:21.319 --> 01:44:23.720 area or whatever the case is, they have to go 1896 01:44:23.840 --> 01:44:26.760 into the realm of talking psycho. So I don't know. 1897 01:44:28.920 --> 01:44:33.600 Zombie slash Raven Lee said, literally the dumbest politician AOC. No, 1898 01:44:33.720 --> 01:44:40.399 I agree, charismatic Ben Carson charismatic like under the bridge 1899 01:44:40.439 --> 01:44:42.840 crack addict looking sug tick for their next hit. 1900 01:44:42.960 --> 01:44:43.079 Yo. 1901 01:44:43.159 --> 01:44:47.479 For real, the AOC does have serious crackhr vibes right, like, 1902 01:44:47.520 --> 01:44:50.960 I'm not trying to be a dick, but like she's 1903 01:44:50.960 --> 01:44:52.239 got those crazy eyes. 1904 01:44:52.920 --> 01:44:54.920 Unronically, she's got crazy eyes. 1905 01:44:54.920 --> 01:45:00.960 Bro, that's a real thing up for real, also says 1906 01:45:01.159 --> 01:45:03.760 Ben Carson, fried her alive. Yeah, and I saw earlier, 1907 01:45:03.800 --> 01:45:08.039 said I hope Ben Carson gets it. I don't dislike 1908 01:45:08.439 --> 01:45:12.720 doctor Ben Carson for his policies or his beliefs. I 1909 01:45:12.840 --> 01:45:16.800 like him a lot. I do that being said, I 1910 01:45:16.840 --> 01:45:20.880 don't know if he's got the stones to do something 1911 01:45:20.960 --> 01:45:25.600 to follow Trump's act. You see what I'm saying. I don't. 1912 01:45:26.399 --> 01:45:30.199 I think he's too moderate for and I mean, at 1913 01:45:30.279 --> 01:45:33.079 one point in time America wanted that we needed a 1914 01:45:33.239 --> 01:45:37.159 moderate conservative to come in and kind of like shift 1915 01:45:37.159 --> 01:45:42.119 things in a more conservative manner. If Trump has shown anything, 1916 01:45:42.199 --> 01:45:46.680 he has shown that America doesn't want moderate we want action. 1917 01:45:48.000 --> 01:45:50.600 I don't know, and I might I could be so 1918 01:45:50.720 --> 01:45:53.920 wrong here. I just don't feel like Ben Carson would 1919 01:45:53.960 --> 01:45:57.520 take enough action that the American people would respond to, 1920 01:45:58.199 --> 01:46:01.159 especially when you're like economically, I'm not saying he's not 1921 01:46:01.199 --> 01:46:04.479 a brilliant guy and a brilliant surgeon and all the things. 1922 01:46:05.359 --> 01:46:08.239 I don't know if he would have the foresight to 1923 01:46:08.359 --> 01:46:10.880 choose a cabinet that could steer him in the direction 1924 01:46:11.000 --> 01:46:13.239 to do things like Donnie t is doing right now. 1925 01:46:14.119 --> 01:46:15.880 I could be wrong. I could be wrong. 1926 01:46:16.359 --> 01:46:18.680 I don't see him as a bad choice, a bad 1927 01:46:18.760 --> 01:46:19.720 candidate to run. 1928 01:46:20.199 --> 01:46:22.920 I think there's probably better people or better people that 1929 01:46:23.000 --> 01:46:26.039 are suited for the role. I should say that. And 1930 01:46:26.119 --> 01:46:27.960 I'm not just saying Trump's kids or anything like that, 1931 01:46:28.000 --> 01:46:30.720 Like I'm I think it'll be very interesting to see 1932 01:46:30.800 --> 01:46:34.000 who Trump nominates or he might actually be the one 1933 01:46:34.000 --> 01:46:36.479 to push a nomination, but at least who he endorses 1934 01:46:36.840 --> 01:46:41.960 for sure. Uh, this is why libtards are called fucking retards. Yeah, 1935 01:46:41.960 --> 01:46:44.720 for real, for real, alex I agree. Uh, Well, plenty 1936 01:46:44.760 --> 01:46:47.520 of people waiting in line for their mouth, oh oo 1937 01:46:48.520 --> 01:46:49.680 for AOC's mouth. 1938 01:46:49.760 --> 01:46:54.359 Dude, is there really people out there that find her attractive. 1939 01:46:56.279 --> 01:46:58.359 That was a dumb question. That was a dumb question. 1940 01:46:58.880 --> 01:47:02.039 Everybody on my six under pound wife has a significant other, 1941 01:47:02.199 --> 01:47:04.680 so of course there's somebody that thinks AOC's attracted. That 1942 01:47:04.760 --> 01:47:06.880 was a silly question of me. Sorry about that. She's not. 1943 01:47:06.920 --> 01:47:09.479 She's also not the worst looking woman in the world. 1944 01:47:09.680 --> 01:47:11.279 You have to admit that she's not. 1945 01:47:11.399 --> 01:47:11.680 She's not. 1946 01:47:11.800 --> 01:47:13.640 She's not a ten, she's not a seven. 1947 01:47:14.199 --> 01:47:22.399 But I try, I was, I was trying there. 1948 01:47:23.239 --> 01:47:26.439 No, I mean, but I like my women with meat 1949 01:47:26.439 --> 01:47:29.920 on their bones. She's a twig. So she's completely not 1950 01:47:30.000 --> 01:47:33.079 even in the realm of like even semideas and looking 1951 01:47:33.079 --> 01:47:35.239 to me personally. But I know I'm a little different 1952 01:47:35.279 --> 01:47:35.880 in that regard. 1953 01:47:37.520 --> 01:47:39.880 I don't you just gotta put a little coc in her. 1954 01:47:42.520 --> 01:47:50.479 I'm good, all yo, for real, it's the eyes for me. 1955 01:47:51.039 --> 01:47:54.199 I can't deal with the crazy eyes. Like that's that's 1956 01:47:54.239 --> 01:47:58.479 too much. You know, there's like she's dead inside. She 1957 01:47:59.640 --> 01:48:03.520 either she's possessed or b she's like fully dead inside. 1958 01:48:03.560 --> 01:48:06.319 And she's a puppet, like an actual somebody's got their 1959 01:48:06.359 --> 01:48:08.840 hands shoved up her, moving her mouth forward because like 1960 01:48:09.399 --> 01:48:11.640 no person with a brainstem would be able to say 1961 01:48:11.640 --> 01:48:14.840 these things as often as she does. She went on 1962 01:48:14.960 --> 01:48:21.000 Facebook Live and gave hints to the illegal immigrants on 1963 01:48:21.039 --> 01:48:28.359 how to evade ice. A normal politician, elected official would understand, like, hey, 1964 01:48:29.000 --> 01:48:33.319 that's illegal, maybe you shouldn't do that. But of course 1965 01:48:33.319 --> 01:48:35.760 it was for the it was for the eyes, right, 1966 01:48:35.760 --> 01:48:37.920 it was to get her name and keep her relevant 1967 01:48:38.039 --> 01:48:40.960 and all these things. But it's like, yeah, it's it's 1968 01:48:41.640 --> 01:48:45.640 it's silliness. It's absolute silliness, all right. She reminds me 1969 01:48:45.680 --> 01:48:48.239 of my ex Merlin. For real, AOC reminds you of 1970 01:48:48.279 --> 01:48:51.840 your ex. You dated a psycho Latina, didn't you, Yep, 1971 01:48:52.239 --> 01:48:54.439 that's hort. Did she try to stab you? 1972 01:48:55.720 --> 01:48:56.720 No, but my mom did. 1973 01:48:58.399 --> 01:48:59.319 Her mom did. 1974 01:48:59.760 --> 01:49:02.720 No, my mom tried to stab me. My mom's full 1975 01:49:02.800 --> 01:49:07.399 blood Mexican. Dude, she's crazy, like old school mom. Like, 1976 01:49:08.319 --> 01:49:10.239 didn't get hit with a broomstick. I got hit with 1977 01:49:10.279 --> 01:49:12.920 a frying pan. I I talked back. She was like, motherfucker. 1978 01:49:13.520 --> 01:49:16.560 Yeah, no, lies detected. Latina women are known to pull 1979 01:49:16.640 --> 01:49:19.840 sharp objects when things get a little emotional and heated. 1980 01:49:20.159 --> 01:49:23.800 No lies detected. I just I don't know, AOC, Actually, 1981 01:49:23.880 --> 01:49:25.920 I think I don't know if she would even consider 1982 01:49:25.960 --> 01:49:28.279 herself to be Latina enough to grab a knife and 1983 01:49:28.279 --> 01:49:31.239 try to staber significant other. I think she's been too Americanized. 1984 01:49:31.279 --> 01:49:35.239 Does she even speak Spanish? Yeah, a little bit, a 1985 01:49:35.239 --> 01:49:35.800 little bit. 1986 01:49:36.439 --> 01:49:38.720 But I have a feeling it would beat her selling needles. 1987 01:49:41.199 --> 01:49:44.880 Yeah maybe. Oh, let's see. He's a really good balance 1988 01:49:44.920 --> 01:49:48.199 and he's very strong and presenting his ideas. I think 1989 01:49:48.239 --> 01:49:50.680 you were talking about Ben Carson their Raven, and I'm 1990 01:49:50.720 --> 01:49:54.840 again I don't dislike him at all. Who knows, maybe 1991 01:49:54.880 --> 01:49:57.720 after Trump, the Republican Party will want somebody a little 1992 01:49:57.760 --> 01:50:00.680 more moderate in their beliefs and maybe not so over 1993 01:50:00.720 --> 01:50:03.479 the top with everything. It's very possible the pendulum's got 1994 01:50:03.479 --> 01:50:05.479 a swing in certain regards. Maybe we could keep it 1995 01:50:05.479 --> 01:50:07.800 on this side, but maybe not to the farthest extreme 1996 01:50:07.840 --> 01:50:10.239 of it. May we'll come a little closer to quote 1997 01:50:10.319 --> 01:50:12.479 unquote normalcy in some way. I don't know. 1998 01:50:13.399 --> 01:50:16.520 Uh. All right, so we are getting ready to wrap up. 1999 01:50:16.520 --> 01:50:19.319 But I did want to read at least one of 2000 01:50:19.359 --> 01:50:22.880 these articles that Raven sent because yeah, I saw this 2001 01:50:22.920 --> 01:50:27.680 one too. For the record, elan Omar reacts to the news, 2002 01:50:27.680 --> 01:50:31.239 claiming to confirm that she married her brother. By the way, 2003 01:50:31.279 --> 01:50:33.640 if anybody wants to go check that out. It's not 2004 01:50:33.720 --> 01:50:39.840 a joke. She absolutely legally married her brother, and the 2005 01:50:39.880 --> 01:50:43.199 story goes that they may not have parented any children, 2006 01:50:43.319 --> 01:50:46.760 but per that culture, they had to consummate the marriage. 2007 01:50:46.760 --> 01:50:50.359 But I digress. I digress. So now we're gonna read 2008 01:50:50.359 --> 01:50:54.800 this from the Times now world. Is Texas getting a 2009 01:50:55.000 --> 01:50:58.279 what the hell's state records?

Wow, Texas getting a yep, all right, we 2012 01:51:09.800 --> 01:51:12.680 you simply must read about this one.

Epic City is 2029 01:52:15.520 --> 01:52:19.279 more than just a neighborhood. It's a way of life. 2030 01:52:19.560 --> 01:52:23.680 A meticulously designed community that brings this alarm to the forefront, 2031 01:52:24.439 --> 01:52:28.279 a community that blends with nature, crafted to elevate your 2032 01:52:28.319 --> 01:52:34.880 living experience with single family homes, multi family town homes 2033 01:52:34.920 --> 01:52:38.600 and apartments, senior living, and in the heart a mosque 2034 01:52:38.960 --> 01:52:39.640 and a school. 2035 01:52:42.079 --> 01:52:44.439 Okay, I know I'm not the only one that heard 2036 01:52:44.439 --> 01:52:47.279 the very loud a lowha snack bar on that one, right, 2037 01:52:47.600 --> 01:52:51.960 Oh for sure, Oh my god. And also the blending 2038 01:52:51.960 --> 01:52:55.760 of nature. And I didn't see one tree. It's just 2039 01:52:56.079 --> 01:52:59.159 it's a gaety community. It's a it's a giant, fancy neighborhood. 2040 01:53:00.000 --> 01:53:03.720 Any kind of blending of nature. But okay, that's that's 2041 01:53:04.159 --> 01:53:08.600 a claim. Let's go here. Epic announced plans for in 2042 01:53:08.680 --> 01:53:11.399 early twenty twenty four for what it described as a 2043 01:53:11.600 --> 01:53:16.600 historic project, quote unquote, a residential and commercial development near Josephine, Texas, 2044 01:53:16.640 --> 01:53:20.000 roughly thirty minutes from its Plano based mosque. As reported 2045 01:53:20.000 --> 01:53:22.880 by The Daily Mail, the project includes proposals for one 2046 01:53:22.960 --> 01:53:26.479 thousand homes, a school, a shopping complex, and a central 2047 01:53:26.520 --> 01:53:31.439 mosque intended to serve a growing Muslim population. However, the 2048 01:53:31.439 --> 01:53:36.079 proposal has encountered stiff resistance. No bruh for real, you 2049 01:53:36.239 --> 01:53:39.159 think like this ain't this ain't Deer Park, Michigan. 2050 01:53:39.199 --> 01:53:41.520 Bro, this is this is Dallas, Texas area. 2051 01:53:42.359 --> 01:53:47.800 Okay. A recent public meeting at the Collin County Commissioner's 2052 01:53:47.840 --> 01:53:52.840 Court saw dozens of residents voicing objections, raging from infrastructure 2053 01:53:52.880 --> 01:53:56.920 concerns to allegations that the development could promote religious extremism, 2054 01:53:57.239 --> 01:54:00.920 reported Daily Mail. While the property lies out outside Josephine 2055 01:54:01.000 --> 01:54:04.079 City limits, locals have expressed worry over noise from the 2056 01:54:04.119 --> 01:54:07.199 call to prayer, with some stress on water supply and 2057 01:54:07.239 --> 01:54:09.640 a few other issues. Yeah, unless you like the call 2058 01:54:09.680 --> 01:54:11.960 to prayer that I could see that getting old real quick. 2059 01:54:13.399 --> 01:54:16.319 Texas Governor Greg Abbott has taken a tough stance, directing 2060 01:54:17.039 --> 01:54:19.279 state agencies to investigate the development. 2061 01:54:19.560 --> 01:54:22.159 In a statement last week, Abbott accused EPIC. 2062 01:54:21.880 --> 01:54:25.880 Of multiple legal violations, including operating a funeral home without 2063 01:54:25.880 --> 01:54:31.560 a license and failing to obtain necessary construction permits. EPIC representatives, 2064 01:54:31.560 --> 01:54:34.359 while declining to comment directly, to The Daily Mail, told 2065 01:54:34.399 --> 01:54:36.720 CBS Texas that they intend to comply fully with the 2066 01:54:36.760 --> 01:54:40.079 legal requirements and characterize much of the backlash as rooted 2067 01:54:40.680 --> 01:54:42.680 Oh Jesus hey when it does that in rooted in 2068 01:54:42.760 --> 01:54:47.199 misinformation direct quote here. We understand that there has been 2069 01:54:47.239 --> 01:54:51.119 a lot of rumor milling and misinformation circulated by many 2070 01:54:51.199 --> 01:54:53.760 who are uninformed. We look forward to working with the 2071 01:54:53.760 --> 01:54:56.960 Attorney General to ensure we are in legal compliance every 2072 01:54:56.960 --> 01:54:59.800 step of the way, said the mosque in a statement. 2073 01:55:00.840 --> 01:55:03.520 No construction has begun on the site, and the project's 2074 01:55:03.560 --> 01:55:06.800 official website lists twenty twenty six or twenty twenty seven 2075 01:55:06.840 --> 01:55:09.399 as a potential move in timeline, as per The Daily Mail, 2076 01:55:09.720 --> 01:55:13.439 with the permit vote by Collin County scheduled for April fourteenth, 2077 01:55:13.479 --> 01:55:16.760 the future of the epic city remains uncertain, so that 2078 01:55:16.880 --> 01:55:19.840 vote is coming up. While the viral video claims the 2079 01:55:19.840 --> 01:55:24.960 community aims to establish independent governance based on religious law, okay, 2080 01:55:25.680 --> 01:55:30.319 no official documentation has confirmed such intent. At present, the 2081 01:55:30.399 --> 01:55:32.880 project appears to be a large scale housing and community 2082 01:55:32.880 --> 01:55:39.319 development initiative with religious affiliation pending state and county approval. Okay. 2083 01:55:39.680 --> 01:55:43.039 That is that is absolutely a thing. That's happening right now, Merlin, 2084 01:55:43.079 --> 01:55:45.239 I saw your hand raise go ahead. 2085 01:55:46.399 --> 01:55:48.640 Is this going anybody else a bad feeling? Because it's 2086 01:55:48.680 --> 01:55:51.239 gonna be a bad feeling. I'm kind of curious to 2087 01:55:51.239 --> 01:55:53.560 see that overhead layout of the area to see if 2088 01:55:53.560 --> 01:55:57.159 there's any symbolism in it, because that's kind of like, 2089 01:55:57.640 --> 01:56:00.359 how are you going to operate a separate community inside 2090 01:56:00.399 --> 01:56:04.119 of the United States, Like they're gonna like that's like 2091 01:56:04.159 --> 01:56:07.920 putting something of the Vaticans, which I mean church just considered, yes, 2092 01:56:08.279 --> 01:56:11.920 but like if you move Vatican into the United States, 2093 01:56:12.359 --> 01:56:16.479 that doesn't really feel logistical. 2094 01:56:15.880 --> 01:56:16.439 You know what I mean? 2095 01:56:17.319 --> 01:56:23.600 So, Okay, to straw Man, this, the Amish operate a 2096 01:56:23.760 --> 01:56:28.039 cut off community. That is, they operate off of religious 2097 01:56:28.159 --> 01:56:31.960 law and they're completely off the beaten path. They're doing 2098 01:56:32.000 --> 01:56:34.800 their own thing. They sell their goods in the regular world, 2099 01:56:34.880 --> 01:56:37.439 but then they live in their own world. So there 2100 01:56:37.600 --> 01:56:40.159 is at least some sort of historical precedence for this 2101 01:56:40.239 --> 01:56:46.920 in America. I get that. That being said, I have 2102 01:56:47.079 --> 01:56:51.720 a really really hard time envisioning a gated community where 2103 01:56:51.760 --> 01:56:57.520 sharial law is the law of the land just happening. 2104 01:56:57.920 --> 01:57:00.520 I have a really hard time seeing that and acially, 2105 01:57:00.640 --> 01:57:03.479 bro It's not like you're going off into the desert 2106 01:57:03.640 --> 01:57:07.640 of Arizona where there's nobody for like one hundred miles, 2107 01:57:07.720 --> 01:57:09.880 and you're like building a community out that way. You 2108 01:57:09.960 --> 01:57:14.399 might get away with it. Then Texas, of all the 2109 01:57:14.439 --> 01:57:17.119 places where you think that's gonna go down, they are 2110 01:57:17.199 --> 01:57:24.560 choosing Texas that uh hmm. Yeah. I have a real 2111 01:57:25.000 --> 01:57:29.079 real hard time believing that Governor Abbott is going to 2112 01:57:29.159 --> 01:57:31.479 even allow that to go down. 2113 01:57:32.560 --> 01:57:35.119 Let's see here, Alex said, speaking of the Amish. 2114 01:57:35.119 --> 01:57:37.680 This last weekend, I went into Amish County and PA 2115 01:57:38.199 --> 01:57:43.039 went to a shady maple. Okay, I have had I 2116 01:57:43.079 --> 01:57:45.600 have bad feelings towards the Amish to an extent, but 2117 01:57:45.680 --> 01:57:48.159 I loved that whole area. Fair enough. Fairno, they take 2118 01:57:48.159 --> 01:57:51.680 care of their area. I'll give them that. They really 2119 01:57:51.800 --> 01:57:55.640 make it look good. And then Raven said, yeah, but 2120 01:57:55.760 --> 01:57:59.840 Amish aren't told to kill and repopulate anyone that isn't there. 2121 01:58:00.399 --> 01:58:04.840 See, that's my issue, that's my issue. And I know, 2122 01:58:05.079 --> 01:58:07.039 oh my god, I'm such a big blah blah blah. 2123 01:58:07.520 --> 01:58:13.199 The Quran is a book of conquest. Muhammad was a warlord. 2124 01:58:13.720 --> 01:58:16.920 His generals that continued his work after he died were 2125 01:58:16.960 --> 01:58:20.520 all warlords. Yes, I understand the Islamic Golden Age gave 2126 01:58:20.560 --> 01:58:24.439 us a lot of scientific breakthroughs as far as philosophy 2127 01:58:24.880 --> 01:58:28.920 and human anatomy and medicine. I'm not negating that not. 2128 01:58:31.439 --> 01:58:35.279 But also, and I know they're always like, that's misquoted 2129 01:58:35.680 --> 01:58:39.319 conversion at sword point, it's about the context. You can 2130 01:58:39.399 --> 01:58:43.000 look at the context of it, and it's exactly what 2131 01:58:43.039 --> 01:58:46.199 you think it is when it talks about shove hooks 2132 01:58:46.199 --> 01:58:48.279 in their bellies and drag them into the streets and 2133 01:58:48.359 --> 01:58:52.159 all these like, that's no, no, that's pretty much exactly 2134 01:58:52.159 --> 01:58:54.800 what they're talking about there. Now, I don't think that 2135 01:58:54.880 --> 01:58:58.960 every single Muslim alive gets down with it. I get 2136 01:58:59.000 --> 01:59:01.199 that a lot of them that most of the Muslims 2137 01:59:01.239 --> 01:59:06.039 I've met have been generally good people, just trying to 2138 01:59:06.039 --> 01:59:08.640 live their daily lives and earn their daily bread. But 2139 01:59:08.680 --> 01:59:13.640 they've also all been Americanized Muslims. I've never had the 2140 01:59:14.800 --> 01:59:18.800 experience of meeting a Muslim in a Muslim country who 2141 01:59:19.039 --> 01:59:23.000 may have a different set of cultural ideas as far 2142 01:59:23.039 --> 01:59:26.920 as that's concerned. Even with all of that being said, 2143 01:59:27.520 --> 01:59:30.000 like if you were to try to do this in Michigan, 2144 01:59:30.079 --> 01:59:32.720 where there is a massive Muslim population, you'd probably have 2145 01:59:32.800 --> 01:59:37.119 a better time of it Texas though. Go ahead, Royce. 2146 01:59:37.840 --> 01:59:40.640 So the only thing I have to say is I 2147 01:59:40.920 --> 01:59:44.880 completely agree with everything you're saying and everyone else in 2148 01:59:44.960 --> 01:59:50.680 the chad saying. So let's just say, hypothetically, if this thing, 2149 01:59:50.720 --> 01:59:54.640 we're able to come to fruition and they created this community, 2150 01:59:55.680 --> 02:00:00.520 so what about visitors? So if it's if it's under 2151 02:00:00.560 --> 02:00:03.600 sureial law, So does that mean that any woman who 2152 02:00:03.720 --> 02:00:06.920 doesn't have her hair covered with a hidgehob is going 2153 02:00:07.000 --> 02:00:09.399 to be raped killed? 2154 02:00:10.840 --> 02:00:13.399 You know? So I think that I know that there 2155 02:00:13.399 --> 02:00:15.680 are the order of the day for that. Other countries 2156 02:00:15.720 --> 02:00:17.720 take it to the extreme. But yeah, that's a good point. 2157 02:00:17.840 --> 02:00:21.359 So I doubt they'll let taurusts into this area. It 2158 02:00:21.399 --> 02:00:24.319 will be like one hundred percent cut off from society 2159 02:00:24.359 --> 02:00:28.279 thing optimistically, But does that mean that we're gonna have 2160 02:00:28.319 --> 02:00:30.119 stonings on American soil? 2161 02:00:32.479 --> 02:00:36.079 That would be murder American. 2162 02:00:35.199 --> 02:00:38.239 Law right, And like the homage, don't even give the 2163 02:00:38.279 --> 02:00:39.000 death penalty. 2164 02:00:39.119 --> 02:00:44.000 They shun people. That's that's their biggest penalty, is that 2165 02:00:44.039 --> 02:00:45.960 you are shunned and cut off from every member of 2166 02:00:46.000 --> 02:00:49.119 the society and even your own family, which is not ideal. 2167 02:00:49.479 --> 02:00:53.319 I get that, but it's not a death sentence. Sharia 2168 02:00:53.399 --> 02:00:57.079 law calls for death a lot. It's not even like, oh, 2169 02:00:57.119 --> 02:01:00.800 only in extreme cases. No, No, read the law, and 2170 02:01:01.319 --> 02:01:05.680 I mean not all of it. The majority of Sharia law. 2171 02:01:06.680 --> 02:01:10.560 I don't mean to throw shade Royce. You know, I 2172 02:01:10.600 --> 02:01:12.680 love you. You know I love my Jewish brothers out there. 2173 02:01:13.680 --> 02:01:17.079 Sharia law is for the most part, comparable to the 2174 02:01:17.119 --> 02:01:22.239 law of Moses. Comparable. Okay, the atments that are doled 2175 02:01:22.319 --> 02:01:26.479 out go into different categories, for sure, But as far 2176 02:01:26.560 --> 02:01:30.239 as modesty, how to treat others, all these things, Sharia 2177 02:01:30.319 --> 02:01:32.520 law is a kind of one to one comparison. Not 2178 02:01:32.560 --> 02:01:35.279 in all cases, but in most blood we're extreme. 2179 02:01:36.000 --> 02:01:38.279 That's I mean, yeah, I mean even when it comes 2180 02:01:38.319 --> 02:01:41.039 to modesty, is like a woman is so allowed to 2181 02:01:41.079 --> 02:01:44.319 go out outside of her house. She she like if 2182 02:01:44.319 --> 02:01:46.239 a woman is not married, she doesn't have to keep 2183 02:01:46.239 --> 02:01:50.159 her hair covered. So, I mean, I do understand that 2184 02:01:50.920 --> 02:01:55.680 on a simple level, they are comparable because it is 2185 02:01:55.720 --> 02:02:00.079 a it is a religious law, not necessarily just a 2186 02:02:00.199 --> 02:02:04.920 secular but they are so much more extreme, so much 2187 02:02:05.000 --> 02:02:07.880 working the Jewish. 2188 02:02:06.760 --> 02:02:10.279 Oh, by all metrics for sure. And that's the thing 2189 02:02:10.319 --> 02:02:13.560 they'll use the ninety five percent of the Sharia law 2190 02:02:13.640 --> 02:02:15.640 to justify it and be like, show me what's wrong 2191 02:02:15.680 --> 02:02:17.479 with this, showing like this and this and this. But 2192 02:02:17.520 --> 02:02:21.239 it's like, yo, show me the uh punishment for that crime, 2193 02:02:21.640 --> 02:02:24.840 and then it's a whole different conversation, right, the crime 2194 02:02:24.920 --> 02:02:28.680 being a crime quote unquote crime stepping out of the 2195 02:02:28.720 --> 02:02:33.279 bounds of of acceptable whatever. Fine, fine, but the punishment 2196 02:02:33.319 --> 02:02:37.399 doled out it's never just a shunning. It's never just 2197 02:02:37.439 --> 02:02:41.800 a paying a fine. It's cutting your hand off for 2198 02:02:41.920 --> 02:02:45.960 being a thief. It's uh stoning a woman for being 2199 02:02:46.000 --> 02:02:54.319 a victim of rape. It's it's yeah, they bro I'm 2200 02:02:54.359 --> 02:02:56.680 surprised that they I'm not surprised that they bought the land. 2201 02:02:57.039 --> 02:02:59.680 I'm not surprised that they tried that they're developing it 2202 02:02:59.760 --> 02:03:03.920 into a Muslim community. Even I get that. I see it. 2203 02:03:03.960 --> 02:03:06.600 Fine a thousand houses. Hell, the subdivision I live in 2204 02:03:06.760 --> 02:03:09.680 is a thousand houses, like, and I hate it. I 2205 02:03:09.720 --> 02:03:13.800 hate it so much, so much, But fine, Okay, you 2206 02:03:13.840 --> 02:03:16.239 want to have a community unto yourselves where you can 2207 02:03:16.279 --> 02:03:18.760 be around people with your culture and y'all speak that 2208 02:03:18.880 --> 02:03:21.760 language and like, fine, cool things. I believe in religious 2209 02:03:21.760 --> 02:03:27.319 freedoms in this country one thousand percent. But like, you know, 2210 02:03:28.239 --> 02:03:28.960 go ahead stuff. 2211 02:03:32.319 --> 02:03:36.840 So as far as I can tell, if they do 2212 02:03:36.960 --> 02:03:39.359 go through with it, which it sounds like they are. 2213 02:03:40.680 --> 02:03:43.199 I'm all for people believing what they want to believe, 2214 02:03:43.640 --> 02:03:47.680 and you know, being in a population of people with 2215 02:03:47.880 --> 02:03:53.680 like minded I think community is great. But I think 2216 02:03:53.760 --> 02:03:57.159 what could potentially happen is like what has happened with 2217 02:03:57.680 --> 02:04:00.800 Southern Utail with some of these offshoots of the mainstream 2218 02:04:01.720 --> 02:04:07.640 LDS church. They have and I want to say it's 2219 02:04:07.640 --> 02:04:11.279 like Moab, not Moab Saint George. They have the Jeffs 2220 02:04:11.520 --> 02:04:16.680 Commune in northern Utah, they have the Kingston Plan, they 2221 02:04:16.720 --> 02:04:21.399 got the all Red Group. So there's different offshoots. The 2222 02:04:21.439 --> 02:04:25.640 ones that are most well known are the Jeffs in 2223 02:04:25.680 --> 02:04:31.680 southern Utah. They got you know, the pastel dresses with 2224 02:04:31.880 --> 02:04:38.840 the long braided hair, and it very much creates conflict 2225 02:04:39.079 --> 02:04:45.520 in the community with other people and even though they 2226 02:04:45.560 --> 02:04:49.680 all believe in the same ship anyway. 2227 02:04:49.840 --> 02:04:52.199 But no, you know what, I'm actually glad you chimed 2228 02:04:52.199 --> 02:04:52.560 in on this. 2229 02:04:53.199 --> 02:04:58.960 It's what I see happening is so what happens They're 2230 02:04:59.079 --> 02:05:02.439 so well funded, they have so much money that they 2231 02:05:02.560 --> 02:05:05.399 hire their own police department pretty much, and they've kind 2232 02:05:05.399 --> 02:05:09.560 of infiltrated the government in that southern Utah area so 2233 02:05:09.680 --> 02:05:13.560 that they can propose laws and have you know, privacy 2234 02:05:14.119 --> 02:05:17.760 for certain areas so that they can and that's there's 2235 02:05:17.800 --> 02:05:21.199 a ton of child labor laws that are violated, there's 2236 02:05:21.279 --> 02:05:26.520 a ton, there's a ton of sexual abuse that happens, 2237 02:05:27.399 --> 02:05:31.600 and so that will one hundred percent, without a doubt 2238 02:05:31.800 --> 02:05:35.520 happen in that community in Texas when they build it, 2239 02:05:35.600 --> 02:05:40.880 whatever they believe in, you know it kind of whatever 2240 02:05:40.920 --> 02:05:44.079 they believe in, they'll probably do that. There there's going 2241 02:05:44.119 --> 02:05:47.760 to be some secrecy. But over time, like you know, 2242 02:05:48.279 --> 02:05:52.119 I'm I'm imagining that some Muslims will join the police department, 2243 02:05:52.840 --> 02:05:57.279 and they'll join the judicial brands, and you know, over 2244 02:05:57.399 --> 02:06:02.760 time it becomes it will kind of certainly like having 2245 02:06:02.760 --> 02:06:06.319 an impact on the area, and there's going to be 2246 02:06:06.359 --> 02:06:10.239 some awful things, illegal shit happening, and they get away 2247 02:06:10.279 --> 02:06:13.800 with it because over time they start to kind of 2248 02:06:13.840 --> 02:06:17.119 immerse themselves in the community and they will turn a 2249 02:06:17.159 --> 02:06:21.399 blind eye to because of their ideology, they'll turn a 2250 02:06:21.399 --> 02:06:25.960 blind eye to all the abuse and human suffering happening 2251 02:06:26.000 --> 02:06:29.880 and illegal illicit acts. So it happens all the time. 2252 02:06:29.960 --> 02:06:35.479 It happens with mainstream Mormonism too. But that's the example 2253 02:06:35.560 --> 02:06:38.880 I thought of, was just that group in southern Utah, 2254 02:06:39.159 --> 02:06:43.079 although it's you know, it happens probably for every you know, 2255 02:06:43.199 --> 02:06:45.000 extreme religious viewpoint. 2256 02:06:45.840 --> 02:06:48.920 No, I agree. I mean to that point, are we 2257 02:06:48.960 --> 02:06:51.399 going to have to start keeping an extra eye out 2258 02:06:51.439 --> 02:06:56.439 for child brides in this neighborhood outside of Josephine, Texas? 2259 02:06:56.960 --> 02:06:59.920 Because according to their law and even to their below, 2260 02:07:00.079 --> 02:07:03.000 the prophet Mohammad married a girl when she was nine 2261 02:07:03.079 --> 02:07:05.600 years old, but he waited to consummate the marriage until 2262 02:07:05.680 --> 02:07:07.399 she was eleven because that was the right thing to do, 2263 02:07:07.479 --> 02:07:10.279 of course. And it's like, you know, I I just 2264 02:07:10.439 --> 02:07:13.000 I have I take issue. I take issue with it, 2265 02:07:13.359 --> 02:07:13.840 that's all. 2266 02:07:13.960 --> 02:07:15.159 Also, what about polygamy. 2267 02:07:15.840 --> 02:07:18.319 There are a lot of mobile wives, so the woman's 2268 02:07:18.319 --> 02:07:19.920 also believe in polygamy, right. 2269 02:07:23.479 --> 02:07:25.000 I can't I can't confirm. 2270 02:07:26.359 --> 02:07:31.279 So I mean, yeah, they made a legal one legal 2271 02:07:31.319 --> 02:07:35.680 wife quote unquote, but they will have multiple mothers of 2272 02:07:35.720 --> 02:07:37.760 their children that they'll all have in the same And 2273 02:07:37.800 --> 02:07:38.119 that's thing. 2274 02:07:38.119 --> 02:07:41.239 Those single those homes didn't look big enough to maintain 2275 02:07:41.359 --> 02:07:43.479 like two or three different wives that did look like 2276 02:07:43.520 --> 02:07:45.760 single family homes, Like maybe no, but that's no. 2277 02:07:45.920 --> 02:07:48.199 That was actually something they said, and the and the 2278 02:07:48.279 --> 02:07:51.439 actual advertisement it said single family homes, which I kind 2279 02:07:51.439 --> 02:07:55.119 of found ironic thinking about the whole Poligamia actist so 2280 02:07:55.560 --> 02:07:57.399 as it could be like a whole community people they 2281 02:07:57.399 --> 02:07:58.479 need to live together. 2282 02:07:58.520 --> 02:08:03.319 So like you know, you have home A, B, C, 2283 02:08:03.359 --> 02:08:05.520 and D, so depending on what day of the week 2284 02:08:05.560 --> 02:08:05.840 it is. 2285 02:08:07.640 --> 02:08:09.960 I mean, that's how certain places in Utah get down. 2286 02:08:10.079 --> 02:08:12.560 If I'm not mistaken stuff. There was a what was 2287 02:08:12.560 --> 02:08:15.000 that show? There was a there was a TV show. 2288 02:08:17.640 --> 02:08:22.960 Yeah, that's not really Mormonism. That's I don't know that 2289 02:08:22.960 --> 02:08:23.920 that that's not it. 2290 02:08:25.079 --> 02:08:26.600 Were they I thought they were Mormons. 2291 02:08:27.479 --> 02:08:31.039 It's yeah, yeah they're Mormons, but they're kind of doing 2292 02:08:31.079 --> 02:08:35.760 their own thing. And they're really so far from the ideology. 2293 02:08:37.640 --> 02:08:39.880 You can tell it by the mannerisms, the way they dress, 2294 02:08:39.960 --> 02:08:47.960 the way they most like Mormons that practice polygamy are 2295 02:08:48.119 --> 02:08:52.640 either from from these like you know, pioneer families. That's 2296 02:08:52.640 --> 02:08:55.840 why I say the Jeffs group, like there's thousands of people, 2297 02:08:56.079 --> 02:08:59.640 tens of thousands of people in southern Utah, and then 2298 02:08:59.640 --> 02:09:02.239 the all Red group and they all kind of have 2299 02:09:02.399 --> 02:09:07.560 their roots into the old school Mormonism. That was like 2300 02:09:07.600 --> 02:09:10.960 a show about a family, and yeah, they all. I 2301 02:09:10.960 --> 02:09:13.840 don't know, I just didn't think that like, I just 2302 02:09:13.880 --> 02:09:17.159 thought that was it had nothing to do with like 2303 02:09:17.680 --> 02:09:21.239 what most people are experiencing in these groups. But the 2304 02:09:21.279 --> 02:09:25.680 one that I thought was the most accurate was Escaping Polygamy, 2305 02:09:26.279 --> 02:09:32.119 where these two these two young women, I think they're 2306 02:09:32.119 --> 02:09:35.880 in their early twenties, maybe late teens, I can't quite remember, 2307 02:09:36.760 --> 02:09:40.119 but they would help people escape polygamy because a lot 2308 02:09:40.199 --> 02:09:44.680 of these especially young boys, if they're not given a wife, 2309 02:09:44.800 --> 02:09:46.920 which most of them aren't, because the women will go 2310 02:09:47.039 --> 02:09:51.640 to the older men. So they kind of get kicked 2311 02:09:51.680 --> 02:09:55.119 out of the community because they're no good, right, they're 2312 02:09:55.159 --> 02:09:57.600 not old enough, they don't have any trades, they don't 2313 02:09:57.600 --> 02:10:01.000 have any skills, and they're not they're not going to 2314 02:10:01.119 --> 02:10:04.399 let these boys, you know, get wives because they're controlling 2315 02:10:04.439 --> 02:10:07.439 the whole thing, and so they kick them out all 2316 02:10:07.439 --> 02:10:10.960 the time. There's a lot of resources that they're developing 2317 02:10:11.079 --> 02:10:14.079 now to help these people that are that are kicked 2318 02:10:14.119 --> 02:10:19.199 out of the community. But there is if you're driving 2319 02:10:20.399 --> 02:10:25.239 to if you're driving south on I fifteen and you 2320 02:10:25.319 --> 02:10:29.880 get past like Probo, and you're going all the way 2321 02:10:29.920 --> 02:10:32.359 like I fifteen, it just cuts down the middle of Utah, 2322 02:10:32.439 --> 02:10:35.600 goes straight down and once you get past Provo, you'll 2323 02:10:35.600 --> 02:10:38.960 see all these duplexes on the west and those are 2324 02:10:39.000 --> 02:10:42.000 all Polygamus's houses. So you're one hundred percent right, Jacob. 2325 02:10:42.560 --> 02:10:47.159 They do duplexes because legally it's like two individual families, 2326 02:10:47.159 --> 02:10:50.159 but one wife will be on one side, another wife 2327 02:10:50.159 --> 02:10:53.399 will be on the other side, and so that's like 2328 02:10:53.439 --> 02:10:56.039 a huge community right there. Most people don't know it 2329 02:10:56.079 --> 02:11:01.520 because they dress like regular people. So but so there's 2330 02:11:02.319 --> 02:11:04.600 and because I worked for the state, I had tons 2331 02:11:04.600 --> 02:11:10.159 of training on each you know, each group, the individual 2332 02:11:10.199 --> 02:11:13.239 things that they believed in and stuff like that. So 2333 02:11:13.319 --> 02:11:16.159 it goes a lot into it. But you know, to 2334 02:11:16.279 --> 02:11:20.800 think that this you know, Muslim group in like I 2335 02:11:20.840 --> 02:11:23.079 think it originally, you know, it was probably gonna be 2336 02:11:23.119 --> 02:11:25.880 a cool community for some people, but give it ten 2337 02:11:26.000 --> 02:11:30.199 twenty fifteen, you know, twenty years down the road and 2338 02:11:30.239 --> 02:11:33.800 you're gonna have some big problems with people outside the community, 2339 02:11:33.920 --> 02:11:34.720 if that makes sense. 2340 02:11:35.359 --> 02:11:38.960 One hundred percent understand this, and I mean taking away 2341 02:11:39.079 --> 02:11:43.520 all of the stigma in the Some might call it 2342 02:11:43.560 --> 02:11:47.640 bigotry of saying that having a Muslim community will inherently 2343 02:11:47.720 --> 02:11:51.000 lead to having terrorist attacks. Okay, fine, let's let's remove 2344 02:11:51.039 --> 02:11:54.479 that from the conversation, because not all Muslims are terrorists 2345 02:11:54.560 --> 02:11:57.199 or even have terrorist ideologies or fine. 2346 02:11:57.439 --> 02:12:03.159 Fine, I just again got no problem with Muslim people. 2347 02:12:03.720 --> 02:12:05.479 Most of the ones that I have met have been 2348 02:12:06.479 --> 02:12:07.680 typically good people. 2349 02:12:08.000 --> 02:12:10.159 They just happen to pray five times a day and 2350 02:12:10.199 --> 02:12:14.319 they have a certain way about them. Fine. Fine. Them 2351 02:12:14.359 --> 02:12:18.720 wanting to live in a community unto themselves, Okay, I'm 2352 02:12:18.720 --> 02:12:22.680 good with that too. The fact that they are trying 2353 02:12:22.720 --> 02:12:28.800 to make this community operate under religious law, that's what 2354 02:12:28.840 --> 02:12:31.319 I have an issue with. And even as a Christian, 2355 02:12:31.840 --> 02:12:35.399 I don't want the law of America to operate under 2356 02:12:35.520 --> 02:12:37.600 Christian law. And I know there's going to be people 2357 02:12:37.600 --> 02:12:39.039 that will argue with me on that and say that 2358 02:12:39.079 --> 02:12:42.159 we already do. Some will say that we don't anyway, 2359 02:12:42.199 --> 02:12:44.760 and this is not a Christian nation, even though all 2360 02:12:44.760 --> 02:12:47.880 the founding fathers happen to be of the Judeo Christian 2361 02:12:47.960 --> 02:12:51.640 belief system. I don't want that. I do believe in 2362 02:12:51.640 --> 02:12:54.800 separation of church and state a one hundred percent as 2363 02:12:54.800 --> 02:12:57.840 far as America is concerned other countries operate their own ways, 2364 02:12:58.119 --> 02:13:01.079 not going to throw shade one of us. One country 2365 02:13:01.119 --> 02:13:03.079 has won two World wars, the other ones have. Not 2366 02:13:03.279 --> 02:13:05.720 Take that for what you want. I don't want the 2367 02:13:05.960 --> 02:13:09.039 unison of church and state. That's the whole reason why 2368 02:13:09.079 --> 02:13:11.960 the Puritans made their way over here. But well, I 2369 02:13:12.000 --> 02:13:15.880 should say the Pilgrims, but neither here nor there. That 2370 02:13:16.079 --> 02:13:20.680 just reads like so at that point, what's the difference 2371 02:13:20.680 --> 02:13:23.119 between them and any of these other cults that took 2372 02:13:23.159 --> 02:13:27.239 place Waco, Texas? At this point, what is the difference 2373 02:13:27.239 --> 02:13:31.600 between a cult buying land, doing their own religious law 2374 02:13:31.680 --> 02:13:34.880 outside of the American law and it becoming a problem. 2375 02:13:35.359 --> 02:13:38.960 And then these people, right, the Amish are allowed to 2376 02:13:39.000 --> 02:13:42.239 do what they do because they are inherently nonviolent, Like 2377 02:13:42.279 --> 02:13:46.439 that's a whole thing about them. And the Mormons, I think, 2378 02:13:46.479 --> 02:13:48.720 are allowed to do what they do because you don't 2379 02:13:48.720 --> 02:13:54.960 hear of Mormon uprisings and Mormon terrorist attacks. Maybe they'll 2380 02:13:55.000 --> 02:13:59.520 attack you with their over niceness, you might get smile bombed, 2381 02:14:00.039 --> 02:14:05.800 but like that's about it. I oh, yeah, exactly, does 2382 02:14:05.880 --> 02:14:11.479 the set exactly exactly? I mean? And look at au 2383 02:14:11.800 --> 02:14:13.920 Royce helped me out here. It's a section of New 2384 02:14:14.000 --> 02:14:16.800 York City that's like is it the Upper East side 2385 02:14:16.960 --> 02:14:19.720 of New York that is like Hasidic Jewishville. 2386 02:14:20.920 --> 02:14:23.600 So I mean, I'm not from New York, so I 2387 02:14:23.600 --> 02:14:26.560 couldn't tell you exactly, but I do know that there 2388 02:14:26.640 --> 02:14:33.840 are some towns that are heavily definitely populated. So Crown Heights, 2389 02:14:34.159 --> 02:14:41.000 for example, so Habad they their like home based operation 2390 02:14:41.600 --> 02:14:46.000 is seven to seventy Eastern Parkway, Like that's very, very, 2391 02:14:46.079 --> 02:14:48.560 very popular. Like the entire world well for the most part, 2392 02:14:48.680 --> 02:14:50.880 knows about Crown Heights and labab Drebby. 2393 02:14:52.560 --> 02:14:55.840 You also have like Borough Park and the five. 2394 02:14:55.680 --> 02:15:02.960 Towns there are, there are some very Jewish places for sure. 2395 02:15:03.239 --> 02:15:07.399 Right, but those places operate under United States law. Now, yes, 2396 02:15:07.720 --> 02:15:11.800 people living there might culturally operate under the law of 2397 02:15:11.840 --> 02:15:13.399 Moses and do their things. 2398 02:15:13.399 --> 02:15:16.319 So I will tell you that that so sentence, the 2399 02:15:16.359 --> 02:15:22.319 Sanhedrin is no, like the Jewish Courtsism basically doesn't have 2400 02:15:22.880 --> 02:15:24.640 the power that it used to. 2401 02:15:25.159 --> 02:15:27.199 Right, So thousands of. 2402 02:15:27.279 --> 02:15:31.399 Years ago, the Jewish court systems used to be able 2403 02:15:31.439 --> 02:15:36.359 to theoretically put people to death. They used to, you know, 2404 02:15:36.800 --> 02:15:41.640 like now pretty much whenever you have any kind of 2405 02:15:41.760 --> 02:15:45.439 rabbi or group of rabbis, a baking involved, it's arbitration 2406 02:15:45.640 --> 02:15:48.680 between a couple of people's because there's some sort of 2407 02:15:49.359 --> 02:15:54.880 financial dispute. Hardly ever, I mean not hardly ever, there 2408 02:15:55.000 --> 02:15:59.239 is no case where there's any kind of bit being 2409 02:15:59.800 --> 02:16:04.640 that can authorize or condemn someone to death. Like it's 2410 02:16:04.800 --> 02:16:07.920 it's not a thing, right, not a thing whatsoever. 2411 02:16:08.720 --> 02:16:11.159 And so that's my point. We don't have these Yes, yes, 2412 02:16:11.239 --> 02:16:13.560 I know the Jews in New York City were digging tunnels. 2413 02:16:13.600 --> 02:16:16.000 Look fine, but hold on, by the way, hold on, 2414 02:16:16.119 --> 02:16:18.399 hold on. That was so can I actually tell you 2415 02:16:18.439 --> 02:16:22.199 what that was about? Because I actually so, I do 2416 02:16:22.279 --> 02:16:25.800 actually know, because I because I have a so my 2417 02:16:26.359 --> 02:16:29.800 rabbi happens to be from Kabad, and I asked him, 2418 02:16:29.840 --> 02:16:31.600 I said, what the hell is going on? There's all 2419 02:16:31.600 --> 02:16:35.520 these videos about these people, you know, digging these tunnels. 2420 02:16:36.639 --> 02:16:39.879 All right, So this goes back to the lavavrop. 2421 02:16:40.079 --> 02:16:45.280 So the seven seventy is comprised of a synagogue and 2422 02:16:45.440 --> 02:16:47.239 like based measures, which is kind of where you go 2423 02:16:47.319 --> 02:16:52.319 study and there's kind of like different buildings. It's like 2424 02:16:52.319 --> 02:16:56.360 it's the same building, like there's different parts portions. Anyways, 2425 02:16:56.399 --> 02:16:59.079 So at one point in time, I guess the Rebbie 2426 02:16:59.120 --> 02:17:03.520 said something to the effect of these everything is going 2427 02:17:03.520 --> 02:17:06.920 to get combined like into into one gigantic building. 2428 02:17:07.440 --> 02:17:10.360 So there were there were some kids. 2429 02:17:10.680 --> 02:17:14.680 When I say kids are like young adults who basically 2430 02:17:15.879 --> 02:17:21.000 wanted to connect everything together, and so like they were 2431 02:17:21.040 --> 02:17:24.399 tunneling from one shool. 2432 02:17:23.840 --> 02:17:26.680 To the other to connect them. 2433 02:17:26.879 --> 02:17:28.879 Like that's literally all it was about. 2434 02:17:28.920 --> 02:17:31.399 So they were they were hiding it in there because 2435 02:17:31.440 --> 02:17:34.079 they it was all clandestine and like they were trying 2436 02:17:34.079 --> 02:17:37.639 to be like like kind of like one of those things. 2437 02:17:37.680 --> 02:17:40.760 It's easier to ask for forgetness and permission. They so 2438 02:17:40.959 --> 02:17:43.680 they did it with that intense oh brook through break 2439 02:17:43.719 --> 02:17:46.159 through the walls. Hey look we we all have one 2440 02:17:46.200 --> 02:17:49.680 building now. It was completely blown out of proportion. It 2441 02:17:49.719 --> 02:17:55.760 has absolutely zero to do with any kind of trafficking, 2442 02:17:56.680 --> 02:17:59.479 especially that that that area, and and we even when 2443 02:17:59.479 --> 02:18:02.920 it came to when somebody was saying, all right, well 2444 02:18:02.959 --> 02:18:06.280 what about all of the all the mattresses, and like 2445 02:18:06.760 --> 02:18:10.440 you anybody who's not a part of that world doesn't 2446 02:18:10.559 --> 02:18:12.120 understand that pretty much. 2447 02:18:13.479 --> 02:18:17.120 A lot of people have spare. 2448 02:18:16.799 --> 02:18:22.120 Mattresses because Judaism, and especially in a Hasidic environment, it 2449 02:18:22.239 --> 02:18:25.879 revolves around family and community to where like, yo, so 2450 02:18:26.079 --> 02:18:28.639 let's just say so you're my friend, right, So okay, 2451 02:18:28.680 --> 02:18:30.600 so you're gonna come over to my house and your 2452 02:18:30.760 --> 02:18:32.879 two friends are gonna come over, and like there's a 2453 02:18:32.920 --> 02:18:36.280 lot of people. So what they do is they have 2454 02:18:36.399 --> 02:18:40.719 spare mattresses for those people. So you have something that's 2455 02:18:40.879 --> 02:18:45.799 very cultural as far as being everybody being together, which 2456 02:18:45.879 --> 02:18:48.079 is the reason why they're the mattress. And then you 2457 02:18:48.520 --> 02:18:53.440 don't people don't understand the behind the scenes of why 2458 02:18:53.879 --> 02:18:56.440 these people were digging these tunnels and what was about. 2459 02:18:56.680 --> 02:19:00.680 Like they didn't care because because in the new all 2460 02:19:00.719 --> 02:19:01.319 it said is. 2461 02:19:01.360 --> 02:19:03.360 Oh my god, Jews are bearing. 2462 02:19:03.920 --> 02:19:05.799 They have they have tunnels and they and they have 2463 02:19:05.920 --> 02:19:12.120 mattresses like this just just to make Jews look bad 2464 02:19:12.520 --> 02:19:16.399 and they didn't want to even do fair research on it. 2465 02:19:16.479 --> 02:19:20.600 Hey, what's going on? All right, here's this is what happened. 2466 02:19:20.920 --> 02:19:24.239 But why it was just all the tabloids of oh 2467 02:19:24.280 --> 02:19:26.760 my god, like they were blowing it out of proportion 2468 02:19:27.079 --> 02:19:33.440 because they liked Unfortunately, if it seems like Jews are 2469 02:19:33.440 --> 02:19:38.639 doing something wrong, whether they are or not, these you 2470 02:19:38.680 --> 02:19:42.239 have their the actual truth and the perceived truth, and 2471 02:19:42.280 --> 02:19:47.120 in that case, the perceived truth was that the Jews 2472 02:19:47.120 --> 02:19:52.399 were doing something and they were trafficking individuals as opposed. 2473 02:19:51.879 --> 02:19:56.159 To the actual truth of all right, well, these few 2474 02:19:56.200 --> 02:20:00.639 people were doing that and once it was discovered, like 2475 02:20:00.920 --> 02:20:04.239 they were going to be filling it with concrete because 2476 02:20:04.239 --> 02:20:07.360 they realized, like, stop it, this is this is not 2477 02:20:07.879 --> 02:20:08.959 what we're supposed to do. 2478 02:20:09.840 --> 02:20:13.600 It made for good headlines, I'll give you that, I mean. 2479 02:20:13.600 --> 02:20:18.239 For for sure, But nobody ever inquired anything more than 2480 02:20:18.280 --> 02:20:19.520 the surface level topoid. 2481 02:20:21.399 --> 02:20:24.239 I don't. This is the first I've heard of this. Honestly, 2482 02:20:24.239 --> 02:20:26.680 I'd kind of forgotten about the Jews digging tunnels in 2483 02:20:26.719 --> 02:20:29.000 New York until this conversation just kind of came up. 2484 02:20:29.040 --> 02:20:33.079 But yeah, I mean, but but my point was to 2485 02:20:33.159 --> 02:20:36.360 that you don't hear about some sort of a Jewish 2486 02:20:36.680 --> 02:20:39.959 uh you know, uprising or some sort of a Jewish 2487 02:20:40.040 --> 02:20:44.559 violent attack or violence from the Jews stemmed from the 2488 02:20:44.639 --> 02:20:47.799 Upper East Side of New York that that happened. So 2489 02:20:47.879 --> 02:20:51.159 even other examples of these communities that live unto themselves, 2490 02:20:51.159 --> 02:20:55.319 that are allowed to do so, don't have a uh 2491 02:20:55.479 --> 02:20:59.639 stigma around them because they haven't earned that stigma. This 2492 02:20:59.680 --> 02:21:02.799 neighbor is coming from a culture in a society that 2493 02:21:02.879 --> 02:21:06.879 has earned that stigma. I don't know what to make 2494 02:21:06.920 --> 02:21:12.040 of it. I don't know. It is getting late. We 2495 02:21:12.079 --> 02:21:13.959 have kind of made this episode longer than we've done 2496 02:21:13.959 --> 02:21:16.239 in the past, and I'm here for it. But I 2497 02:21:16.239 --> 02:21:17.959 do need to wrap this up because I do need 2498 02:21:18.000 --> 02:21:19.959 to start editing it so it can come out on 2499 02:21:20.120 --> 02:21:24.000 the tomorrow. So thank y'all everybody for coming and joining 2500 02:21:24.000 --> 02:21:26.120 in on this conversation.
