WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.520 --> 00:00:03.919 K f I am sixty. You're listening to Later with 2 00:00:04.000 --> 00:00:11.800 Moe Kelly on demand on the iHeartRadio app. Now on 3 00:00:11.919 --> 00:00:14.640 Garyan Shannon is time for swamp Watch. 4 00:00:14.839 --> 00:00:17.359 I'm a politician, which means I'm a cheat and a liar, 5 00:00:17.760 --> 00:00:20.600 and when I'm not kissing babies, I'm stealing their lollipops. 6 00:00:20.679 --> 00:00:21.399 Here we got. 7 00:00:21.280 --> 00:00:24.239 The real problem is that our leaders are dumb. 8 00:00:24.359 --> 00:00:25.640 The other side never quits. 9 00:00:25.719 --> 00:00:30.559 So what I'm not going anywhere so that now. 10 00:00:30.519 --> 00:00:33.280 You train the swap, I can imagine what can be 11 00:00:33.479 --> 00:00:34.880 and be unburdened by what has been. 12 00:00:35.039 --> 00:00:38.560 You know, Americans have always been going at president. They're 13 00:00:38.560 --> 00:00:39.159 not stupid. 14 00:00:39.200 --> 00:00:42.119 A political plunder is when a politician actually tells the truth. 15 00:00:42.119 --> 00:00:44.840 Why have the people voted for you? With not swamp Watch? 16 00:00:45.039 --> 00:00:45.880 They're all counter on. 17 00:00:47.520 --> 00:00:49.759 Watch today brought to you by the Good Feet Store. 18 00:00:49.840 --> 00:00:52.039 Are you living with foot pain? Have you been diagnosed 19 00:00:52.039 --> 00:00:55.119 with plantar fasci? Iis visit the Good Feet Store and 20 00:00:55.200 --> 00:00:59.119 learn how you can find relief without shots, surgeries or medications. 21 00:01:00.359 --> 00:01:02.600 I got to ask you a question, how well do 22 00:01:02.679 --> 00:01:05.359 you know your civics? How well do you know how 23 00:01:05.400 --> 00:01:07.719 your own country works? 24 00:01:08.359 --> 00:01:12.359 You know? Three ring circus three branches of government that 25 00:01:12.480 --> 00:01:13.040 kind of stuff. 26 00:01:13.599 --> 00:01:15.159 And I think a lot of times we get married 27 00:01:15.239 --> 00:01:19.159 about stuff because we don't know how things actually work. 28 00:01:20.239 --> 00:01:27.159 Donald Trump is our president. He was elected by more 29 00:01:27.200 --> 00:01:31.560 people is than the popular vote, and he amassed more 30 00:01:31.920 --> 00:01:35.480 Electoral College votes. He is the president and to the 31 00:01:35.560 --> 00:01:39.400 victor go the spoils. And although many people may not 32 00:01:39.560 --> 00:01:45.439 agree with his legislative agenda, he has the right to 33 00:01:45.920 --> 00:01:48.719 enact it. Now, there are ways in which you can 34 00:01:48.760 --> 00:01:50.680 push back against that in the legal sense. You can 35 00:01:50.719 --> 00:01:53.680 offer legal challenges, you can try to force it up 36 00:01:54.040 --> 00:01:56.959 the court system, the pellet courts and the appeals court, 37 00:01:57.239 --> 00:01:59.040 and then it goes to the Supreme Court. Then the 38 00:01:59.079 --> 00:02:01.519 Supreme Court rules, and after that it's done. And one 39 00:02:01.560 --> 00:02:06.519 of those examples is having to do with firing federal workers. 40 00:02:06.959 --> 00:02:09.680 There was a challenge to what Doeze was doing. Whether 41 00:02:10.159 --> 00:02:16.840 they could the Trump administration legally fire federal workers. And 42 00:02:16.879 --> 00:02:20.800 that's separate and distinct from whether they had the autonomy 43 00:02:20.919 --> 00:02:25.439 and the power to move different budget items around, in 44 00:02:25.439 --> 00:02:29.240 other words, take federal funding. Just talking about firing federal workers, 45 00:02:30.159 --> 00:02:32.680 and for weeks now we've waited on the Supreme Court 46 00:02:32.759 --> 00:02:36.120 to make a decision whether the Trump administration had the power, 47 00:02:36.719 --> 00:02:41.680 the legal right to fire federal workers. Scota said, yes, 48 00:02:41.719 --> 00:02:45.360 the president has that power, and the Trump administration is 49 00:02:45.400 --> 00:02:48.800 going to move ahead with these mass layoffs. This is 50 00:02:48.840 --> 00:02:51.120 what I would say, and this goes back to what 51 00:02:51.159 --> 00:02:54.800 I said earlier about the federal government versus state and 52 00:02:55.120 --> 00:02:57.960 local governments. I look at the federal government as the 53 00:02:58.080 --> 00:03:02.039 insurance policy. Reason why we have the FDA is it's 54 00:03:02.319 --> 00:03:06.159 an insurance policy to make sure that bad actors aren't 55 00:03:06.199 --> 00:03:09.039 messing with our food, for example. The reason why we 56 00:03:09.159 --> 00:03:11.759 had the EPA, and I say had as in past tense, 57 00:03:11.800 --> 00:03:14.919 because it's been basically dismantled, is to make sure that 58 00:03:14.960 --> 00:03:18.639 we're not doing things to environment which long term could 59 00:03:18.680 --> 00:03:22.000 really really be bad for us, be bad for us individually, 60 00:03:22.120 --> 00:03:25.039 be bad for us collectively and as a community. The 61 00:03:25.080 --> 00:03:27.879 reason why we have these federal agencies because it's not 62 00:03:28.039 --> 00:03:34.000 realistic to have states monitor quote unquote the environment, the food, 63 00:03:34.319 --> 00:03:34.960 and so forth. 64 00:03:34.960 --> 00:03:37.400 That's why you have these federal agencies. 65 00:03:37.439 --> 00:03:40.560 The Trump administration has come from the standpoint that there's 66 00:03:40.560 --> 00:03:42.800 too much blow. We don't need to have these agencies. 67 00:03:42.879 --> 00:03:45.800 We don't need to have the Department of Education. I 68 00:03:45.800 --> 00:03:49.120 personally disagree with that. I'm really big on education, but 69 00:03:49.159 --> 00:03:52.560 the Trump administration has taken the stand that there is 70 00:03:52.639 --> 00:03:55.080 too much bloat and we don't need this size of 71 00:03:55.120 --> 00:04:00.080 federal government, and so pursuing to the election and so 72 00:04:00.400 --> 00:04:02.719 that we are in a democracy, Well, let me stop 73 00:04:02.759 --> 00:04:04.800 right there. Yes, I know we're in a constitutional republic. 74 00:04:04.840 --> 00:04:08.400 But constitutional republic is a form of democracy. It's a 75 00:04:08.439 --> 00:04:13.840 representative democracy. It's shorthand. Okay, so you can use either interchangeably. 76 00:04:13.879 --> 00:04:16.399 It's not a true democracy is one person in one 77 00:04:16.480 --> 00:04:20.240 vote and so forth. But a constitutional republic is a 78 00:04:20.279 --> 00:04:23.759 form of democracy. We use democracy as a shorthand. I 79 00:04:23.800 --> 00:04:26.120 don't need you to correct me. Can't stand that. Learn 80 00:04:26.199 --> 00:04:30.199 your civics. But my point is since Donald Trump won 81 00:04:30.279 --> 00:04:34.160 and became president, these are some of the steps that 82 00:04:34.199 --> 00:04:37.160 he is taking as president. And they're moving ahead with 83 00:04:37.240 --> 00:04:40.720 these mass layoffs, going back to my analogy of how 84 00:04:40.759 --> 00:04:44.439 the federal government, I believe is an insurance policy. We 85 00:04:44.600 --> 00:04:49.680 won't see the direct and indirect effect of these mass 86 00:04:49.759 --> 00:04:54.480 layoffs until down the road. We talked earlier about how 87 00:04:54.920 --> 00:04:58.680 FEMA has a role and to what extent a role 88 00:04:58.800 --> 00:05:01.959 it should play in the MA management of disasters. When 89 00:05:02.120 --> 00:05:07.720 states themselves are unable to handle the size of them. 90 00:05:08.199 --> 00:05:11.720 If you think that Mississippi can handle a hurricane disaster 91 00:05:12.040 --> 00:05:16.879 in the same way that maybe Texas could, you're deluding yourself. 92 00:05:17.319 --> 00:05:19.680 There is a role for the federal government to play, 93 00:05:20.160 --> 00:05:24.519 but we won't see the true effects of a diminished 94 00:05:24.879 --> 00:05:28.920 or an eradicated FEMA in the short term. Most likely 95 00:05:29.360 --> 00:05:31.439 we would see it in the long term when we 96 00:05:31.639 --> 00:05:36.720 have a mass casualty event or some sort of disaster 97 00:05:36.839 --> 00:05:40.439 of mother Nature and thousands of people have been impacted, 98 00:05:40.680 --> 00:05:43.240 and oh like, for example, what's going on in North 99 00:05:43.240 --> 00:05:46.600 Carolina right now and how they're trying to rebuild, and 100 00:05:46.639 --> 00:05:50.040 they have been petitioning the federal government. Alabama's been petitioning 101 00:05:50.079 --> 00:05:54.120 the federal government for more aid in light of the tornadoes. 102 00:05:54.319 --> 00:05:59.800 This is something that could impact states and communities for years. 103 00:06:00.079 --> 00:06:02.680 Think about what happened with Hurricane Katrina in the city 104 00:06:02.720 --> 00:06:05.160 of New Orleans, and I visited New Orleans, and it 105 00:06:05.199 --> 00:06:08.399 took New Orleans at least ten years with the help 106 00:06:08.439 --> 00:06:11.839 of FEMA the federal government to get back to some 107 00:06:12.079 --> 00:06:16.639 sense of normality. But we won't know the importance of 108 00:06:16.680 --> 00:06:20.360 FEMA until down the road. We won't know until we 109 00:06:21.120 --> 00:06:25.480 have an issue which impacts tens of thousands of people 110 00:06:26.000 --> 00:06:28.519 we won't know, and so in the short term the 111 00:06:28.519 --> 00:06:32.240 Trump administration, they will be firing people left and right, 112 00:06:32.279 --> 00:06:35.319 thousands and thousands of people. And there's an argument to 113 00:06:35.319 --> 00:06:37.600 be made, a good argument as far as whether all 114 00:06:37.680 --> 00:06:41.720 these federal employees are necessary. That is a good argument. 115 00:06:41.920 --> 00:06:44.720 There is an argument to be made about our budgeting, 116 00:06:44.800 --> 00:06:46.959 whether we are spending the money in the right way, 117 00:06:47.000 --> 00:06:48.959 on the right things, on the right people, at the 118 00:06:49.040 --> 00:06:53.279 right time, and under the right circumstances. Those are legitimate arguments. 119 00:06:53.759 --> 00:06:57.000 But there's also a legitimate argument as to whether this 120 00:06:57.160 --> 00:07:03.600 wholesale slashing of departments and agencies without real analysis of 121 00:07:03.680 --> 00:07:07.439 their impact and import has unintended consequences down the road. 122 00:07:07.639 --> 00:07:10.800 And again, I like the insurance analogy because I remember, 123 00:07:11.040 --> 00:07:13.240 and if you're over the age of forty, you remember 124 00:07:13.279 --> 00:07:15.759 as well. Elmer, I think you're under the age of forty, 125 00:07:16.040 --> 00:07:18.759 so he may not be there yet, but I remember 126 00:07:18.800 --> 00:07:21.000 when I was twenty one twenty two years old, I 127 00:07:21.120 --> 00:07:24.439 never got sick. I was in perfect health. I was 128 00:07:24.480 --> 00:07:28.319 working out every day. The whole idea of carrying health 129 00:07:28.360 --> 00:07:31.040 insurance is like you want me to pay for health 130 00:07:31.040 --> 00:07:33.839 insurance when I'm healthy all the time, I don't need 131 00:07:33.920 --> 00:07:37.160 health insurance. And this is actually before they even mandated 132 00:07:37.160 --> 00:07:41.360 car insurance. I said, I don't need car insurance. You 133 00:07:41.399 --> 00:07:43.480 know how much money I could save. 134 00:07:44.959 --> 00:07:45.879 Waste, fraud, and abuse. 135 00:07:46.040 --> 00:07:47.839 You know how much money I could save if I 136 00:07:47.839 --> 00:07:50.399 didn't pay for health insurance, if I didn't pay for 137 00:07:50.519 --> 00:07:51.399 car insurance. 138 00:07:51.600 --> 00:07:53.759 My car is just fine. I'm a good driver. 139 00:07:53.959 --> 00:07:57.360 I'm not gonna get any accidents, and I'm not gonna 140 00:07:57.360 --> 00:08:00.839 get sick. I don't need long term dissabl ability on 141 00:08:00.959 --> 00:08:02.120 my work insurance. 142 00:08:02.120 --> 00:08:02.959 I don't need any of that. 143 00:08:03.680 --> 00:08:05.240 And then you get a little older, and then you 144 00:08:05.279 --> 00:08:10.560 start understanding how and why you need it there just 145 00:08:10.639 --> 00:08:16.199 in case you need it there for actual disasters or emergencies. 146 00:08:16.720 --> 00:08:19.560 And you get older and you understand the long term 147 00:08:19.560 --> 00:08:25.000 applications of not having health insurance, not having car insurance, 148 00:08:25.480 --> 00:08:27.920 whether you can afford it or not, but not having 149 00:08:27.959 --> 00:08:31.040 it can make a disaster even worse. And this is 150 00:08:31.040 --> 00:08:35.840 what I think may happen here in America with all 151 00:08:35.960 --> 00:08:41.759 this wholesale cutting of agencies and employees for the sake 152 00:08:41.840 --> 00:08:45.759 of numerology, for the sake of budgets, for the sake 153 00:08:45.799 --> 00:08:51.279 of line items saving money. Sometimes you can cut off 154 00:08:51.320 --> 00:08:52.960 an arm and the leg and then you end up 155 00:08:53.000 --> 00:08:56.759 killing the body all together. Gary Shannon Show, I'm O 156 00:08:56.879 --> 00:08:57.320 Kelly here. 157 00:08:58.080 --> 00:09:01.679 You're listening to Later with Mo Kelly on Demand from 158 00:09:01.759 --> 00:09:07.039 KFI AM six forty. 159 00:09:05.080 --> 00:09:06.679 And the second portion of Swamp Watch. 160 00:09:06.679 --> 00:09:10.720 I want to talk about tariffs generally and specifically. We 161 00:09:10.879 --> 00:09:16.080 know our president is really focusing on using tariffs to 162 00:09:16.919 --> 00:09:21.679 i'll say realign our trade relationships all around the world. 163 00:09:21.840 --> 00:09:25.399 Originally he had talked about some ninety trade deals in 164 00:09:25.679 --> 00:09:28.600 ninety days, didn't quite make it there. He has the 165 00:09:28.679 --> 00:09:32.000 framework on three different trade deals and maybe one another 166 00:09:32.559 --> 00:09:35.200 in the pipeline. But for any trade deal to be 167 00:09:35.240 --> 00:09:37.799 consummated has to be passed by Congress, going back to 168 00:09:37.799 --> 00:09:40.960 Civics first and foremost, So saying we have a deal 169 00:09:41.000 --> 00:09:43.480 and even the announcement of a deal does not mean 170 00:09:43.519 --> 00:09:46.559 we actually have a deal until the deal is consummated 171 00:09:46.960 --> 00:09:50.639 via of Congress. And when you watch these things, when 172 00:09:50.639 --> 00:09:52.120 you listen to things, I always want to make sure 173 00:09:52.159 --> 00:09:55.799 that people know what they're listening to or what's being 174 00:09:55.919 --> 00:09:58.279 told to them. You can come to your own conclusion, 175 00:09:58.759 --> 00:10:03.000 but you should know. But is factual and what is fiction? 176 00:10:03.600 --> 00:10:06.759 And as far as tariffs are concerned, I hope people know. Like, 177 00:10:06.960 --> 00:10:09.200 let's say Elmer. I'm gonna pick on Elmer for a second. 178 00:10:09.399 --> 00:10:13.480 And Elmer has his business, Elmer's Widgets. Elmer's widgets is 179 00:10:13.519 --> 00:10:16.720 doing real well, and he sells widgets for maybe a 180 00:10:16.799 --> 00:10:22.320 dollar each. And President Trumps said, we're putting a tariff 181 00:10:22.759 --> 00:10:27.840 on all widgets. But Elmer has to buy his widgets 182 00:10:28.440 --> 00:10:33.360 from China. In this hypothetical, so for you, Elmer, you 183 00:10:33.799 --> 00:10:37.279 sell your widgets at a dollar each. Yeah, you buy 184 00:10:37.320 --> 00:10:39.679 excuse me, you sell them. You have to buy them 185 00:10:39.679 --> 00:10:42.080 for a dollar each. Okay, you purchase each unit a 186 00:10:42.159 --> 00:10:44.360 dollar each. And then the President says, we're gonna put 187 00:10:44.360 --> 00:10:50.039 a twenty five percent tariff on your widgets, which means you, 188 00:10:51.120 --> 00:10:55.240 as Elmer's widgets, have to pay the dollar twenty five 189 00:10:55.879 --> 00:11:01.720 for each widget wholesale costs. No, because that's how you 190 00:11:01.720 --> 00:11:05.399 get your widgets from China. That twenty five percent is 191 00:11:05.399 --> 00:11:09.399 a cost that you have to incur. China's not paying it. 192 00:11:10.399 --> 00:11:12.799 China is saying, hey, Elmer, if you want these widgets, 193 00:11:12.840 --> 00:11:16.240 they're gonna cost more because there's a tariff, which means 194 00:11:16.320 --> 00:11:20.399 the importer. You as the importer, you're bringing the widgets 195 00:11:20.440 --> 00:11:23.679 into the country, you have to pay for them. Now 196 00:11:23.720 --> 00:11:26.960 you have a decision to make elmore. You can purchase 197 00:11:27.000 --> 00:11:31.039 those widgets at a dollar twenty five and either eat 198 00:11:31.080 --> 00:11:33.360 it or pass it along. 199 00:11:33.120 --> 00:11:36.120 To the consumer. That's up to you. 200 00:11:37.480 --> 00:11:44.240 Oh, I see, but China does not pay that tariff. 201 00:11:45.039 --> 00:11:51.200 China is only offering you the opportunity to purchase your 202 00:11:51.240 --> 00:11:56.559 goods from China. The whole point of a tariff is 203 00:11:56.600 --> 00:12:01.279 to make or i should say, level a competitive playing 204 00:12:01.360 --> 00:12:06.600 field where let's say you have United States manufacturers domestic 205 00:12:06.759 --> 00:12:11.240 manufacturers of widgets. Then you can say, okay, since it's 206 00:12:11.399 --> 00:12:16.080 more expensive to import your widgets, you may look for 207 00:12:16.120 --> 00:12:21.039 an American supplier of widgets and let's say a cost 208 00:12:21.120 --> 00:12:24.960 maybe a dollar fifteen to provide that same widget to you, 209 00:12:25.480 --> 00:12:29.159 and you know, USA widgets is now a better option. 210 00:12:30.279 --> 00:12:34.759 But as far as paying the tariff, China doesn't pay it. 211 00:12:35.639 --> 00:12:39.600 Anyone who would then want to import those widgets pays 212 00:12:39.639 --> 00:12:42.840 the tariff. So when someone says China's going to pay 213 00:12:42.879 --> 00:12:44.759 the tariff for these other countries is going to pay 214 00:12:44.759 --> 00:12:49.360 the tariff, that is actually not true. The importer pays 215 00:12:49.440 --> 00:12:52.039 the tariff, and the importer then has to make a 216 00:12:52.080 --> 00:12:56.480 decision whether the importer Elmer's Widgets, is going to pass 217 00:12:56.639 --> 00:13:00.919 that on to me as a cost who wants to 218 00:13:00.960 --> 00:13:05.720 buy widgets, or Elmer's Widgets can eat that and just 219 00:13:05.840 --> 00:13:06.879 still sell. 220 00:13:06.639 --> 00:13:07.879 It at a dollar. 221 00:13:08.120 --> 00:13:10.720 That means you're losing money because you're paying more than 222 00:13:10.720 --> 00:13:13.399 what you're selling it for. Whatever your margins were beforehand. 223 00:13:13.440 --> 00:13:15.799 You may even shrink your margins. Let's say you were 224 00:13:15.840 --> 00:13:19.720 selling that widget at a dollar fifty. Originally you're paying 225 00:13:19.799 --> 00:13:22.399 for it for a dollar per unit and selling it 226 00:13:22.399 --> 00:13:24.399 for a dollar fifty. Now you're paying a dollar twenty 227 00:13:24.399 --> 00:13:26.799 five per unit. You can still sell it for a 228 00:13:26.799 --> 00:13:30.480 dollar fifty. That would mean you're eating the cost the 229 00:13:30.519 --> 00:13:33.600 price increase because of the tariff. Or you can say, 230 00:13:33.679 --> 00:13:35.240 now I'm going to sell it for a dollar seventy 231 00:13:35.240 --> 00:13:37.759 five and get my twenty five cents back twenty five 232 00:13:37.799 --> 00:13:41.399 cents extra. And that is how we should look at 233 00:13:41.399 --> 00:13:44.360 these stories about teriffs. When the President says that a 234 00:13:44.399 --> 00:13:48.080 fifty percent tariff on copper imports is coming, and he 235 00:13:48.200 --> 00:13:52.600 threatens a two hundred percent want on pharmaceuticals, that only 236 00:13:52.720 --> 00:14:00.320 matters relative to what the importer decides to do, said 237 00:14:00.360 --> 00:14:03.840 at the Cabinet meeting yesterday, quote, we're doing copper and 238 00:14:03.879 --> 00:14:06.559 the added they who believe the rate would be fifty percent. 239 00:14:07.600 --> 00:14:09.960 And we know that most imported cars in car parts 240 00:14:10.240 --> 00:14:13.919 are facing a twenty five percent tariff. Imported steel and 241 00:14:14.000 --> 00:14:19.919 aluminum both face fifty percent tariffs. So importers, car companies, 242 00:14:20.559 --> 00:14:23.840 or any company which uses copper now has to make 243 00:14:23.879 --> 00:14:28.200 a decision. They can either purchase and import the copper 244 00:14:28.480 --> 00:14:32.399 or the other parts for cars at the increased price 245 00:14:32.480 --> 00:14:36.200 point and then decide to pass that on to consumers 246 00:14:36.240 --> 00:14:39.879 like you and me, or they can find an American 247 00:14:40.000 --> 00:14:42.600 supplier to get their copper from and depending on the 248 00:14:42.720 --> 00:14:45.279 raw goods and materials. We don't have that in America, 249 00:14:46.600 --> 00:14:48.200 but if you have the option, then you can look 250 00:14:48.240 --> 00:14:51.919 to an American supplier and buy from them. The thinking 251 00:14:52.000 --> 00:14:55.320 behind the tariff is if you put a high enough tariff, 252 00:14:55.639 --> 00:14:59.919 then people will have no choice but to buy America. 253 00:15:01.000 --> 00:15:05.759 That works in theory provided you can buy American. Like 254 00:15:05.799 --> 00:15:09.000 for example, if you have a smartphone. Everybody has a smartphone. 255 00:15:09.000 --> 00:15:12.200 You might be listening on the iHeartRadio app. Those chips, 256 00:15:12.240 --> 00:15:17.240 those semiconductor chips are all made in China and Taiwan, 257 00:15:17.960 --> 00:15:21.200 so that phone is most likely going to cost more 258 00:15:21.559 --> 00:15:25.399 no matter what. China's not paying for that, Taiwan is 259 00:15:25.440 --> 00:15:30.480 not paying for that. You as a consumer are most 260 00:15:30.519 --> 00:15:35.279 likely going to pay that unless Apple or Google decide 261 00:15:35.360 --> 00:15:42.039 to eat that tariff because the smart the smartphone semiconductor 262 00:15:42.120 --> 00:15:47.919 chips now cost more because of these tariffs. It's complicated 263 00:15:48.000 --> 00:15:51.919 and at the same time it's simple. The tariffs are 264 00:15:51.919 --> 00:15:54.480 going to be passed on to us most likely, and 265 00:15:54.519 --> 00:15:56.639 we're going to be paying more for the goods and services. 266 00:15:57.039 --> 00:16:00.159 But it does open up the door the possibility in 267 00:16:00.200 --> 00:16:03.480 certain industries, depending on what it is, for us to 268 00:16:03.759 --> 00:16:08.600 instead buy American. But they're almost virtually no products which 269 00:16:08.600 --> 00:16:13.039 are completely constructed and manufactured here in America. You can 270 00:16:13.080 --> 00:16:16.360 go get a Ford, which is a quote unquote American 271 00:16:16.440 --> 00:16:19.679 made car, and that crosses the border many times. It 272 00:16:19.720 --> 00:16:22.840 has all sorts of parts which are made outside the country, 273 00:16:22.879 --> 00:16:27.039 which are brought into the country, which are which will 274 00:16:27.039 --> 00:16:29.639 have a tariff put on them, and it still makes 275 00:16:29.679 --> 00:16:33.200 the final product the Forward automobile, which is quote unquote 276 00:16:33.240 --> 00:16:36.279 an American company. That car is still going to cost 277 00:16:36.320 --> 00:16:40.480 more because it's its internal parts were made overseas and 278 00:16:40.519 --> 00:16:42.840 they're not made here. They still cross the border from 279 00:16:42.840 --> 00:16:45.440 maybe Canada, and they go back and forth in their 280 00:16:45.559 --> 00:16:49.039 tariff each time that they cross the border. So even 281 00:16:49.039 --> 00:16:52.080 though you may be buying American, not every part in 282 00:16:52.120 --> 00:16:54.919 it is made in America or is available to be 283 00:16:55.000 --> 00:16:56.720 purchased in America. 284 00:16:57.519 --> 00:16:58.360 This is another thing. 285 00:16:58.240 --> 00:17:00.600 Where it's going to take I would say months, maybe 286 00:17:00.639 --> 00:17:04.759 even years to see the full impact of this tariff war, 287 00:17:04.880 --> 00:17:07.400 if you will, and see whether it's good for economy 288 00:17:07.799 --> 00:17:09.960 or not. If you're trying to make a decision right now, 289 00:17:10.160 --> 00:17:12.720 you're not really paying attention because it's going to take 290 00:17:12.720 --> 00:17:16.440 some time for the markets to settle and decide whether 291 00:17:16.559 --> 00:17:19.839 we want to pay the prices that importers are passing 292 00:17:19.920 --> 00:17:23.160 along to us or whether we're going to just not 293 00:17:23.279 --> 00:17:26.759 buy anything at all. So keep on watching. It's a 294 00:17:26.799 --> 00:17:29.480 Garyan Shannon show. Mo Kelly Here, I am six forty. 295 00:17:29.480 --> 00:17:32.240 We're live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. 296 00:17:32.640 --> 00:17:36.240 You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from 297 00:17:36.359 --> 00:17:37.920 KFI AM six forty. 298 00:17:40.839 --> 00:17:42.519 We're live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. 299 00:17:42.559 --> 00:17:45.039 And I love the opportunity if I should be filling 300 00:17:45.079 --> 00:17:47.160 in for Gary and Shannon to talk to people like 301 00:17:47.319 --> 00:17:52.240 Justin Wersham, Huh, because not only do they sometimes forget 302 00:17:52.319 --> 00:17:55.559 how fricking funny you are. Oh that's very kind, but 303 00:17:55.640 --> 00:17:57.799 you're a good dude, and we need to talk more 304 00:17:57.960 --> 00:18:01.839 just in general. So let's talk about parenting with Justin Worsham. Yeah, 305 00:18:02.359 --> 00:18:03.799 where do you want to start today? 306 00:18:04.440 --> 00:18:06.039 I think you're I think you and I are gonna 307 00:18:06.039 --> 00:18:08.880 have a lot of mileage in these eighties tropes of 308 00:18:08.960 --> 00:18:12.039 parenting that are long gone that they would be illegal 309 00:18:12.559 --> 00:18:15.319 today because when I first saw this, I didn't know 310 00:18:15.359 --> 00:18:17.799 you were filling in, and I like to find things 311 00:18:17.839 --> 00:18:21.000 that will sometimes trigger Gary. But when I found out 312 00:18:21.000 --> 00:18:22.799 you were here, I'm like, this is gonna more than 313 00:18:22.839 --> 00:18:25.200 trigger MO, Like, I think this is this excites you 314 00:18:25.279 --> 00:18:27.000 like it does because I was a kid who was 315 00:18:27.119 --> 00:18:29.519 raised on the belt, and I'm a firm believer of 316 00:18:29.559 --> 00:18:30.559 physical discipline. 317 00:18:30.880 --> 00:18:32.519 Beat your kids before they grow up and break in 318 00:18:32.559 --> 00:18:36.559 my house. I'm serious. I would rather That's part of 319 00:18:36.559 --> 00:18:40.759 why it's so funny. I'm not to get I'm so serious. 320 00:18:40.960 --> 00:18:44.359 I would rather they learn strict physical discipline than smash 321 00:18:44.400 --> 00:18:45.440 again grabby right. 322 00:18:48.119 --> 00:18:51.240 I wonder you know that is interesting? I wonder what 323 00:18:51.279 --> 00:18:54.039 the over under is on people who are incarcerated of 324 00:18:54.160 --> 00:18:57.519 like if they had physical discipline in their like. I 325 00:18:57.519 --> 00:18:59.640 also like they call it corporal punishment, which I think 326 00:18:59.720 --> 00:19:00.920 is interesting. 327 00:19:00.960 --> 00:19:03.519 We had teachers wrap my knuckles with a ruler. Yeah, 328 00:19:03.759 --> 00:19:05.319 in school, But I'm a firm believe it to be 329 00:19:05.359 --> 00:19:07.960 real serious and not taken away from you. My father 330 00:19:08.279 --> 00:19:10.720 was very strict with me, and he was teaching me 331 00:19:11.079 --> 00:19:15.319 parameters boundaries that the world if it were to treat 332 00:19:15.640 --> 00:19:17.359 teach me later, I would end up in jail or 333 00:19:17.359 --> 00:19:19.359 did He was saying that I need you to teach 334 00:19:19.359 --> 00:19:20.960 you this. If you do this and go too far 335 00:19:21.279 --> 00:19:23.759 and you get your ass whipped by me, is because 336 00:19:23.759 --> 00:19:27.880 I'd rather it come from me than the prison. 337 00:19:27.640 --> 00:19:29.079 Or the morgue or both. Yep. 338 00:19:29.640 --> 00:19:32.160 Yeah, well here let's go down these. Just to give 339 00:19:32.200 --> 00:19:35.359 you some more rant stuff is letting kids ride in 340 00:19:35.400 --> 00:19:37.599 the front seat just at General. 341 00:19:38.559 --> 00:19:39.440 I was always so bad. 342 00:19:39.480 --> 00:19:41.880 I told you before we came back that I had 343 00:19:41.960 --> 00:19:43.640 my son was maybe five months old. We're going to 344 00:19:43.640 --> 00:19:45.519 a road trip to Denver to take my. 345 00:19:45.480 --> 00:19:47.880 Son to sea. Young children saying, oh, he he was 346 00:19:47.960 --> 00:19:48.440 very young. 347 00:19:48.799 --> 00:19:50.799 But I'm saying this is anybody, But I'm just giving 348 00:19:50.799 --> 00:19:53.279 the example as an extreme example. We were driving through 349 00:19:53.279 --> 00:19:55.759 a snowstorm. I was doing maybe fifteen to twenty miles 350 00:19:55.759 --> 00:19:57.839 an hour. My son was five months old. He needed 351 00:19:57.839 --> 00:20:00.039 either a diaper change or to eat, and my wife's like, 352 00:20:00.079 --> 00:20:01.920 you gotta pull over so I could feed him or whatever. 353 00:20:02.039 --> 00:20:03.519 I was like, no, I go just do it in 354 00:20:03.519 --> 00:20:06.160 the car. We're barely moving. She's like, we can't do that, 355 00:20:06.160 --> 00:20:08.599 that's illegal. I'm like you and I didn't have car seats. 356 00:20:08.640 --> 00:20:11.319 We we sat like. I did a three day road 357 00:20:11.359 --> 00:20:13.240 trip to Texas where they just put like a spot 358 00:20:13.240 --> 00:20:14.960 where a suitcase would go in the trunk of a 359 00:20:15.000 --> 00:20:17.960 station wagon, and that is where I lived for three days. 360 00:20:18.039 --> 00:20:19.720 I will do you one better. I bet you have 361 00:20:19.920 --> 00:20:21.039 far father's car. 362 00:20:21.200 --> 00:20:23.680 It had a bench as a back seat, and a 363 00:20:23.680 --> 00:20:26.039 bench is a front seat. Didn't have bucket seats. I 364 00:20:26.039 --> 00:20:29.200 don't think it even it had a lap seat belt. 365 00:20:29.240 --> 00:20:31.000 It didn't have a shoulder seat belt. 366 00:20:31.000 --> 00:20:32.200 Swinging loose. Nobody woreried. 367 00:20:32.920 --> 00:20:35.599 It was just follow you while you're rolling in the 368 00:20:35.640 --> 00:20:38.319 side and he stabled the brakes and I bounce off 369 00:20:38.359 --> 00:20:39.400 the front bench seat. 370 00:20:40.000 --> 00:20:42.440 Like the old con put you off, jarm out. That's you. 371 00:20:42.640 --> 00:20:45.240 That was your parental seat belt smoking around the kid. 372 00:20:45.319 --> 00:20:47.640 This was my entire childhood, to the point where my 373 00:20:47.720 --> 00:20:50.599 dad passed away. I took up smoking again just as 374 00:20:50.640 --> 00:20:51.480 a way of remembering. 375 00:20:52.519 --> 00:20:53.400 Both my parents. 376 00:20:53.200 --> 00:20:56.160 Smoked until they were forty and my father's mother had 377 00:20:56.200 --> 00:20:59.240 come to live with us, my grandmother, and she smoked 378 00:20:59.279 --> 00:21:01.759 until the day she died. She would smoke in the 379 00:21:01.799 --> 00:21:03.920 car with the windows rolled up, and I'm the kid 380 00:21:04.000 --> 00:21:06.680 she'd picked me up from school, and I'm thinking, Wow, 381 00:21:06.759 --> 00:21:08.359 this is what it's like to smoke, because the whole 382 00:21:08.359 --> 00:21:09.240 car was filled with smoke. 383 00:21:09.359 --> 00:21:11.559 Talk about second half smoked. I should be dead at 384 00:21:11.599 --> 00:21:15.920 lump cancer by my head turn while you're kindergarten. This 385 00:21:15.960 --> 00:21:17.359 is one that I think is interesting. 386 00:21:17.400 --> 00:21:20.519 But because there's no like a physic like official age 387 00:21:20.519 --> 00:21:22.960 in the law, but letting kids stay home alone at 388 00:21:23.000 --> 00:21:24.960 a very young age, like I was in third grade, 389 00:21:25.000 --> 00:21:27.200 probably seven eight years old, when I was home alone 390 00:21:27.319 --> 00:21:28.880 after school for a while, how about you. 391 00:21:28.920 --> 00:21:31.519 I got two words for you. That's key. Kid. 392 00:21:33.160 --> 00:21:35.720 If you were home and could lock the door, you 393 00:21:35.759 --> 00:21:38.599 were good because the instructions were don't open the door 394 00:21:38.640 --> 00:21:40.799 for anyone and don't turn on the stove. 395 00:21:40.920 --> 00:21:42.960 But I was like today's kids. I think they feel 396 00:21:43.000 --> 00:21:45.559 traumatized if they get left alone. I thought it was magical. 397 00:21:45.599 --> 00:21:47.519 I can watch whatever I wanted on TV, I could 398 00:21:47.519 --> 00:21:50.000 eat whatever I wanted. I never felt neglected at all 399 00:21:50.000 --> 00:21:50.240 by it. 400 00:21:50.319 --> 00:21:52.039 What did you do for sick days? My parents went 401 00:21:52.079 --> 00:21:55.359
