Punks Atani 11 00:00:50.479 --> 00:00:54.520 phil Saw's Shadow. You know what that means? Six more 12 00:00:54.520 --> 00:00:57.000 weeks of winter. Of course, that happened yesterday. We're used 13 00:00:57.000 --> 00:00:59.479 to doing the big announcement because it happens right about 14 00:01:00.359 --> 00:01:03.719 right about nowish or even a little bit earlier when 15 00:01:03.759 --> 00:01:06.840 we're on the air. But it was Sunday, so I 16 00:01:06.879 --> 00:01:10.920 didn't know until yesterday afternoon. Oh darn more winter. We're 17 00:01:10.920 --> 00:01:12.840 actually going to get some winter. We've got some rainstorms 18 00:01:12.879 --> 00:01:17.560 on the way and fog. It was like key soup 19 00:01:17.680 --> 00:01:20.640 in my neighborhood this morning, like super dark, and I 20 00:01:20.680 --> 00:01:22.200 was like, where are my fog lights? Where are my 21 00:01:22.200 --> 00:01:23.959 fog lights? And then I tried to find them and 22 00:01:24.040 --> 00:01:26.480 ended up turning off my headlines. I was like, wow, 23 00:01:26.480 --> 00:01:30.359 it's really dark out there. But anyway, so if you 24 00:01:30.400 --> 00:01:34.159 are heading out, the fog in some areas is very thick. 25 00:01:34.200 --> 00:01:36.040 By the time I got to Burbank, it was nice 26 00:01:36.040 --> 00:01:38.959 and clear, so no big deal, but be careful out there. 27 00:01:39.319 --> 00:01:42.000 Here's what's ahead on your Monday morning wake up call. 28 00:01:42.079 --> 00:01:45.560 PCH will fully reopen today, almost four weeks after the 29 00:01:45.599 --> 00:01:49.120 wildfire broke out in Pacific Palisades, with clean up efforts 30 00:01:49.120 --> 00:01:52.799 continuing and construction getting underway. Drivers are being told to 31 00:01:52.920 --> 00:01:57.519 avoid PCH if at all possible due to expected heavy traffic. 32 00:01:58.159 --> 00:02:01.439 Police have cleared streets and freeway in downtown LA after 33 00:02:01.480 --> 00:02:04.480 thousands of protesters took to the streets to protest President 34 00:02:04.480 --> 00:02:08.560 Trump's new immigration policies and deportations. The one to one 35 00:02:08.560 --> 00:02:11.159 was blocked by protesters off and on through the afternoon, 36 00:02:11.199 --> 00:02:16.280 causing a huge backup. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is 37 00:02:16.400 --> 00:02:18.800 headed to the US to meet with President Trump. That 38 00:02:18.879 --> 00:02:21.319 meeting it's going to happen tomorrow. He'll be the first 39 00:02:21.360 --> 00:02:24.800 foreign leader to visit the White House since Trump took office. 40 00:02:24.840 --> 00:02:28.719 For his second term. Netanyahoo's visit comes as negotiations for 41 00:02:28.759 --> 00:02:31.639 Phase two of the cease fire deal between Israel and 42 00:02:31.680 --> 00:02:34.080 Hamas are set to get underway. We're going to be 43 00:02:34.080 --> 00:02:36.639 talking to Jordana Miller. Get the latest on that. In 44 00:02:36.800 --> 00:02:38.960 just a second, Let's get started with some of the 45 00:02:38.960 --> 00:02:41.439 stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. 46 00:02:41.759 --> 00:02:44.680 Thousands of people have marched in downtown LA to protest 47 00:02:44.759 --> 00:02:49.639 President Trump's immigration and deportation policies. Gayfi's Phil Farars's The 48 00:02:49.639 --> 00:02:52.960 group started on Alvera Street yesterday in what police called 49 00:02:53.039 --> 00:02:54.719 a non permitted demonstration. 50 00:02:54.879 --> 00:02:58.520 Demonstrators joining in unity near Los Angeles City Hall a 51 00:02:58.599 --> 00:03:02.120 block traffic at Spring and Temple Streets. By afternoon, marchers 52 00:03:02.120 --> 00:03:04.800 had blocked all lanes of the busy one oh one, 53 00:03:05.039 --> 00:03:07.680 causing traffic to back up in both directions. 54 00:03:07.719 --> 00:03:10.599 The demonstrations went on into the night. A few demonstrators 55 00:03:10.639 --> 00:03:14.360 were caught on video spring graffiti on freeway walls and 56 00:03:14.439 --> 00:03:17.240 appeared to vandalize at least one car that was stopped 57 00:03:17.240 --> 00:03:19.919 in the middle of the crowd. The crowd was broken 58 00:03:20.000 --> 00:03:24.319 up after an unlawful demonstration was declared. That happened just 59 00:03:24.319 --> 00:03:28.039 after six o'clock. La City and County have differing views 60 00:03:28.120 --> 00:03:31.120 on the reopening of Pacific Coast Highway near the Pacific 61 00:03:31.159 --> 00:03:35.800 Palisades fire area. Mayor Bass delayed the removal of checkpoints 62 00:03:35.800 --> 00:03:38.319 along the highway that was supposed to happen yesterday, saying 63 00:03:38.360 --> 00:03:40.840 it was in the interest of safety, but the county 64 00:03:40.919 --> 00:03:44.960 has open pch in Malibu and unincorporated areas as planned. 65 00:03:45.439 --> 00:03:48.960 Supervisor Lindsay Horvath says sheriff's deputies are still patrolling so 66 00:03:49.039 --> 00:03:50.840 residents can go back to their properties. 67 00:03:50.919 --> 00:03:56.199 Keeping our community safe, coordinated, and in clear communication is critical. 68 00:03:56.400 --> 00:03:59.680 She says communities in the LA area deserve consistency and 69 00:03:59.759 --> 00:04:03.479 core nation as they recover from the wildfires and start rebuilding. 70 00:04:03.879 --> 00:04:06.599 Back to back storms are headed towards southern California. The 71 00:04:06.639 --> 00:04:09.680 first expected to roll in tomorrow and Wednesday, with light 72 00:04:09.800 --> 00:04:13.400 rain expected in La County, heavier rain in Ventura County. 73 00:04:13.800 --> 00:04:16.800 The second storms expected Thursday and Friday, with heavier rain 74 00:04:16.879 --> 00:04:20.800 and possible thunderstorms for La Inventuria, Ventura counties, and then 75 00:04:20.879 --> 00:04:25.079 lighter rain expected in Orange County and the IE. Thousands 76 00:04:25.120 --> 00:04:28.600 of feet of k rails and sandbags have been installed 77 00:04:28.600 --> 00:04:31.560 as a precaution, but La City council Woman Tracy Park 78 00:04:31.600 --> 00:04:33.000 says that might not be enough. 79 00:04:33.120 --> 00:04:35.319 I don't know that there is enough k rail or 80 00:04:35.360 --> 00:04:39.720 sand bags in the world that will stop this from 81 00:04:39.879 --> 00:04:44.399 moving and potentially harming our ocean if we get a storm. 82 00:04:44.439 --> 00:04:48.079 That's bad enough. She says. There are already active landslides 83 00:04:48.079 --> 00:04:52.040 in the Palisades area because burned scars do not absorb water. 84 00:04:52.560 --> 00:04:55.399 So Britty Carpenter is this year's Grammy winner for Best 85 00:04:55.600 --> 00:04:58.959 Pop Vocal Album. The award for Carpenter Short and Sweet, 86 00:04:59.519 --> 00:05:02.800 is her first Grammy win. She beat out Billie Eilish, 87 00:05:02.879 --> 00:05:07.079 Ariana Grande, Chapel Rome. Did I say it wrong? Chappelle 88 00:05:07.519 --> 00:05:12.240 Chappelle Rone, I'm so hip, it's you're saying Chapel. 89 00:05:13.000 --> 00:05:13.240 Yeah. 90 00:05:14.079 --> 00:05:16.639 I just did the pronunciation online and it said she 91 00:05:16.879 --> 00:05:20.720 was the expert on pop names. Okay, yes she is. 92 00:05:20.879 --> 00:05:27.920 Chappelle Chapel, you can tell. I'm a big fan, and 93 00:05:28.000 --> 00:05:30.879 Taylor Swift as well. Let's say good morning now to 94 00:05:31.040 --> 00:05:35.959 ABC's Jordana Miller. Jordana. So far, the ceasefire between Israel 95 00:05:36.000 --> 00:05:39.480 and Hamas has been holding. Hostages are being released and 96 00:05:39.600 --> 00:05:42.120 gosins are being allowed back into their neighborhoods. So what's 97 00:05:42.120 --> 00:05:45.160 happening now, right? 98 00:05:45.240 --> 00:05:50.759 We saw another successful release of three Israeli hostages and 99 00:05:51.040 --> 00:05:56.160 Israel also releasing over one hundred almost two hundred actually 100 00:05:56.240 --> 00:06:02.160 Palestinian prisoners that unfolded on Saturday, and it included the 101 00:06:02.199 --> 00:06:07.759 first American hostage, a native of North Carolina, Keith Siegel, 102 00:06:07.800 --> 00:06:10.079 that moved to Israel a few decades ago. He was 103 00:06:10.199 --> 00:06:14.079 kidnapped by Hamas on October seventh, and the sixty five 104 00:06:14.160 --> 00:06:19.319 year old was finally released on Saturday, looking kind of 105 00:06:19.319 --> 00:06:23.000 weak and thin, but able to walk and doctor State 106 00:06:23.439 --> 00:06:26.839 say he's in a stable condition. So that's all good news. 107 00:06:27.319 --> 00:06:33.720 Now we're looking forward to another hostage release three men 108 00:06:33.879 --> 00:06:39.079 coming up on next Saturday. Israel again will release more 109 00:06:39.399 --> 00:06:44.879 of Palestinian prisoners. In between, though, very important meetings will 110 00:06:44.920 --> 00:06:48.240 take place between the Israeli Prime Minister and President Trump, 111 00:06:49.040 --> 00:06:52.040 and they're being described here those meetings which are set 112 00:06:52.040 --> 00:06:57.120 for Tuesday as really the most critical for Natanyahu in 113 00:06:57.160 --> 00:07:03.000 his long and already you know, storied a political career. 114 00:07:03.600 --> 00:07:07.480 A lot on the line here. The President interested in 115 00:07:07.759 --> 00:07:13.000 Agaza seasfire, staying and holding enduring. Moving into phase two, 116 00:07:13.120 --> 00:07:15.240 what is supposed to end the war, bring all the 117 00:07:15.279 --> 00:07:19.079 hostages home, and remember there's still six Americans in Gaza, 118 00:07:19.480 --> 00:07:23.439 and a full Israeli withdrawal from the Gaza strip. The 119 00:07:23.480 --> 00:07:26.040 President wants that as soon as possible, but the Israeli 120 00:07:26.079 --> 00:07:30.480 Prime Minister his timeline it may not be as quick, 121 00:07:30.519 --> 00:07:33.000 and he has a lot of fears about what's coming next, 122 00:07:33.920 --> 00:07:37.040 and he's still weighing another round of fighting in Gaza. 123 00:07:37.639 --> 00:07:41.720 So of course the President and the Israeli Prime Minister 124 00:07:42.040 --> 00:07:43.759 see eye to eye on a lot of issues, but 125 00:07:43.800 --> 00:07:47.639 they're going to have some tough talks on Gaza on 126 00:07:47.720 --> 00:07:48.800 what comes. 127 00:07:48.480 --> 00:07:54.040 Next, Okay, And then that's that's the big question because 128 00:07:54.120 --> 00:07:56.879 as we know that part of the ceasefire is that 129 00:07:57.279 --> 00:07:59.319 Israel's got to get all the way out of Gaza. 130 00:07:59.399 --> 00:08:04.040 Right, That's right, And you know the problem right now, 131 00:08:04.199 --> 00:08:07.759 Nathaniel's two central problems. The first is that he's part 132 00:08:07.800 --> 00:08:12.360 of a coalition with the far right and they are 133 00:08:12.839 --> 00:08:16.000 basically threatening to pull out of the government if he 134 00:08:16.120 --> 00:08:19.480 goes through and progresses to phase two of this deal, 135 00:08:19.720 --> 00:08:23.439 which will essentially end the war. The second issue that 136 00:08:23.800 --> 00:08:26.680 and that would push Natanielle out of power. The second 137 00:08:26.720 --> 00:08:30.079 issue that Nathaniel's facing and it's a very real issue 138 00:08:30.079 --> 00:08:32.000 whether you're on the right or the left here in 139 00:08:32.039 --> 00:08:36.480 Israel is that Hamas appears to be reasserting their control 140 00:08:36.519 --> 00:08:39.759 over the Gaza Strip and they're not signaling at all 141 00:08:39.879 --> 00:08:42.279 that they're going to step back and let somebody else 142 00:08:42.399 --> 00:08:45.519 run the Gaza Strip. And that's critical to phase two 143 00:08:45.559 --> 00:08:46.039 of the deal. 144 00:08:46.320 --> 00:08:46.519 Right. 145 00:08:47.000 --> 00:08:49.360 The United States and Israel do not want to see 146 00:08:49.519 --> 00:08:54.519 Hamas in power anymore, and Hamas seems to be trying 147 00:08:54.519 --> 00:08:58.120 to hold on, to survive in some way and even 148 00:08:58.159 --> 00:09:02.279 say hey, we're here for good. So these are very 149 00:09:02.360 --> 00:09:06.080 thorny issues. And israel I do not believe this is 150 00:09:06.120 --> 00:09:08.840 going to withdraw from the Gaza Strip until these issues 151 00:09:08.879 --> 00:09:12.399 of post war Gaza are settled, and they may take 152 00:09:12.480 --> 00:09:16.519 some time, more time than President Trump has the patients for. 153 00:09:16.600 --> 00:09:18.399 And I think that's where we're going to see some 154 00:09:18.480 --> 00:09:22.279 of the tension between the President and the Israeli Prime Minister. 155 00:09:22.679 --> 00:09:24.559 Okay, well, we'll see what they do and if they 156 00:09:24.559 --> 00:09:28.080 present a united front. That meeting happening tomorrow. ABC Stredona Miller, 157 00:09:28.080 --> 00:09:28.799 thank you so much. 158 00:09:30.240 --> 00:09:30.720 Talk soon. 159 00:09:30.879 --> 00:09:32.960 All right, we'll talk to you soon. Let's get back 160 00:09:33.000 --> 00:09:34.639 to some of the stories coming out of the KFI 161 00:09:34.679 --> 00:09:37.559 twenty four hour newsroom. Officials in the DC area say 162 00:09:37.600 --> 00:09:40.919 the bodies of fifty five people have now been recovered 163 00:09:40.960 --> 00:09:44.600 from the commuter plane and army helicopter that collided midair 164 00:09:44.679 --> 00:09:48.039 over the Potomac River. DC Fire and EMS Chief John 165 00:09:48.080 --> 00:09:50.759 Donnella says some were found over the weekend. 166 00:09:50.559 --> 00:09:54.120 During our salvage surveys and preparation to lift the aircraft. 167 00:09:55.200 --> 00:09:59.240 Additional remains were located and removed from the river and 168 00:09:59.320 --> 00:10:01.720 taken to the Meta Examiner's office. 169 00:10:01.879 --> 00:10:04.679 Crews are preparing to raise the wreckage as they worked 170 00:10:04.720 --> 00:10:07.519 to find the other twelve people presumed killed in the 171 00:10:07.519 --> 00:10:10.679 collision last week. There were sixty seven people on board 172 00:10:10.720 --> 00:10:13.840 the plane and three on the helicopter. The NTSB says 173 00:10:13.840 --> 00:10:16.399 the black box from a medical jet that crashed in 174 00:10:16.440 --> 00:10:20.720 Philadelphia has been recovered. It was found eight feet underground 175 00:10:20.840 --> 00:10:24.480 at the impact site. Kfi's Mark Mayfield says seven people 176 00:10:24.519 --> 00:10:27.480 were killed in the fiery crash on Friday evening, including 177 00:10:27.480 --> 00:10:29.360 an eleven year old patient and her mother. 178 00:10:29.519 --> 00:10:32.399 The head of the National Transportation Safety Board says it 179 00:10:32.480 --> 00:10:35.480 was a high impact crash and that the plane is 180 00:10:35.759 --> 00:10:36.840 highly fragmented. 181 00:10:36.960 --> 00:10:40.039 The lear Jet crashed shortly after taking off from Northeast 182 00:10:40.080 --> 00:10:44.279 Philadelphia Airport. It went down in a residential area, setting 183 00:10:44.320 --> 00:10:48.759 off at least six house fires. President Trump is getting 184 00:10:48.759 --> 00:10:54.240 more criticism for firing federal prosecutors involved in January sixth prosecutions. 185 00:10:54.600 --> 00:10:57.440 On Friday, he ordered more than a half dozen FBI 186 00:10:57.519 --> 00:11:01.519 senior executives to retire or be fired or be demoted 187 00:11:01.840 --> 00:11:05.360 by today. Former New York, New Jersey Governor Chris Christie 188 00:11:05.360 --> 00:11:08.080 says Trump doesn't care if the move ends up in lawsuits. 189 00:11:08.200 --> 00:11:08.799 He gets to. 190 00:11:08.720 --> 00:11:12.960 Make the statement, the aggressive statement of doing firing inspectors 191 00:11:12.960 --> 00:11:15.000 general or in this case, what he's doing at the 192 00:11:15.120 --> 00:11:17.519 Justice Department of the FBI, and then it gets handed 193 00:11:17.519 --> 00:11:19.639 over to the courts, and if the court's overturn him, 194 00:11:19.720 --> 00:11:20.840 he blames it on the courts. 195 00:11:21.039 --> 00:11:24.320 ABC News says thousands of FBI employees have been sent 196 00:11:24.440 --> 00:11:28.879 questionnaires to determine their roles in investigations or prosecutions related 197 00:11:28.879 --> 00:11:32.279 to January sixth, and have until this afternoon to fill 198 00:11:32.320 --> 00:11:35.840 them out. Childcare providers across the US are reporting an 199 00:11:35.919 --> 00:11:40.519 increase in applicants. One likely factor is that government workers 200 00:11:40.559 --> 00:11:42.039 have to go back to the office and need to 201 00:11:42.080 --> 00:11:46.200 find childcare for their kids. Liz Levitt, Tofty runs a 202 00:11:46.240 --> 00:11:49.639 daycare center, says she relies on federal funding to increase 203 00:11:49.639 --> 00:11:53.480 her workforce, but that the Trump administration's proposed freeze on 204 00:11:53.600 --> 00:11:55.039 grants would make that difficult. 205 00:11:55.120 --> 00:11:57.399 We need more funding as it is so ending what 206 00:11:57.480 --> 00:12:01.279 we do have right now that happen or we're going 207 00:12:01.320 --> 00:12:03.559 to fall apart as a childcare system. 208 00:12:03.399 --> 00:12:05.960 She says. If federal loans and grants end, it would 209 00:12:06.000 --> 00:12:10.159 be catastrophic. The head of Meta says he sees twenty 210 00:12:10.279 --> 00:12:13.440 twenty five as a really big year for his Company's 211 00:12:13.480 --> 00:12:16.720 AI assistant Mark Zuckerberg says he thinks it'll be the 212 00:12:16.720 --> 00:12:20.360 most widely used in the industry. At the same time, 213 00:12:20.480 --> 00:12:24.000 soft Bank is reportedly in talks with Open Ai about 214 00:12:24.039 --> 00:12:26.519 investing up to twenty five billion dollars in that company. 215 00:12:26.960 --> 00:12:30.200 A recent survey shows bathroom anxiety affects a lot of 216 00:12:30.200 --> 00:12:33.759 people in the US. The survey by Talker Research shows 217 00:12:33.840 --> 00:12:38.879 ninety two percent of people admit having pnxiety, meaning they 218 00:12:38.919 --> 00:12:41.559 deliberately put off going into the bathroom so they won't 219 00:12:41.559 --> 00:12:43.919 miss out on what they see as an exciting or 220 00:12:44.639 --> 00:12:47.639 important moment. On the flip side, it shows thirty five 221 00:12:47.639 --> 00:12:50.679 percent of people have missed things like a baby's first steps, 222 00:12:51.039 --> 00:12:55.960 photo ops or concert finales because of unavoidable bathroom urgency. 223 00:12:56.039 --> 00:12:58.399 I know I shouldn't laugh about it, but what the heck? Oh? 224 00:12:58.440 --> 00:13:01.759 And I got a note from from editor Carlo. She says, 225 00:13:01.759 --> 00:13:04.240 think of going to the chapel. I'm going to get married, 226 00:13:04.679 --> 00:13:09.279 so that's how I'll remember chapel. Rowing entry restrictions into 227 00:13:09.279 --> 00:13:13.559 Pacific Palisades were briefly lifted, but then quickly reinstated. Officials 228 00:13:13.559 --> 00:13:16.159 say residents were worried that their homes or what's left 229 00:13:16.159 --> 00:13:18.720 of them, would be looted. Among other things, many of 230 00:13:18.720 --> 00:13:20.759 the homes still standing can't be lived in because of 231 00:13:20.840 --> 00:13:24.159 smoke and other fire damage. The CHP and National Guard 232 00:13:24.200 --> 00:13:26.720 will be manning checkpoints to make sure only residents are 233 00:13:26.759 --> 00:13:29.320 allowed into the area. Protesters had blocked the one on 234 00:13:29.320 --> 00:13:33.240 one freeway through downtown LA. The group protesting Trump's deportation 235 00:13:33.480 --> 00:13:37.840 policies gathered on Alvara Street yesterday, marched to City Hall 236 00:13:37.879 --> 00:13:40.799 and then walked out onto the freeway, blocking traffic in 237 00:13:40.840 --> 00:13:43.879 both directions off and on for hours. Police in riot 238 00:13:43.919 --> 00:13:46.759 gear moved in shortly after six when the LAPD declared 239 00:13:46.799 --> 00:13:51.679 the demonstration unlawful. Both Canada and Mexico have responded to 240 00:13:51.759 --> 00:13:55.799 President Trump's announcement that twenty five percent tariffs would be imposed. 241 00:13:56.320 --> 00:13:59.720 Canada's Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said his country will implement 242 00:13:59.720 --> 00:14:04.799 twenty five percent tariffs against US goods. Mexica's Mexico's President, 243 00:14:04.840 --> 00:14:08.799 Claudia Shinbaum also our. Shinbaum also said she plans to 244 00:14:08.879 --> 00:14:12.080 implement tariffs on US goods. At six oh five, it's 245 00:14:12.159 --> 00:14:15.639 handled on the news. President Trump admits that Americans may 246 00:14:15.639 --> 00:14:18.080 feel some pain from the tariffs, which are scheduled to 247 00:14:18.120 --> 00:14:21.919 go into effect at midnight tonight. And let's continue talking 248 00:14:21.960 --> 00:14:24.600 about tariffs and say good morning to you. Kfi's White 249 00:14:24.600 --> 00:14:29.039 House correspondent John Decker, And so it begins, John. President 250 00:14:29.039 --> 00:14:34.159 Trump announced those tariffs against Canada and Mexico, and both 251 00:14:34.200 --> 00:14:35.440 of them have something to say. 252 00:14:35.200 --> 00:14:39.519 Back, Well, that's right, Retali. It's very tariffs, as you 253 00:14:39.679 --> 00:14:43.159 just mentioned, Amy, and we can also expect that coming 254 00:14:43.240 --> 00:14:46.960 from China as well, ten percent tariffs placed upon Chinese 255 00:14:46.960 --> 00:14:50.600 goods coming into the US. And President Trump has acknowledged, 256 00:14:50.600 --> 00:14:54.679 not on social media, but also upon landing in Washington yesterday, 257 00:14:55.000 --> 00:14:58.759 there will be short term pain that American consumers feel 258 00:14:59.240 --> 00:15:02.799 because of these carrits. Whether it is items that you're 259 00:15:02.840 --> 00:15:05.759 buying at the grocery store forty percent of our produce 260 00:15:06.200 --> 00:15:10.600 comes from Mexico or Canada, or whether it's gasoline a 261 00:15:10.679 --> 00:15:13.879 significant amount of crude oil comes from Canada, or even 262 00:15:13.960 --> 00:15:18.279 electronics coming from China. When you factor in so much 263 00:15:18.480 --> 00:15:23.279 in terms of the electronic industry has its origin in China, 264 00:15:23.799 --> 00:15:26.919 it will be impacted on the products that we buy 265 00:15:26.960 --> 00:15:27.480 every day. 266 00:15:28.759 --> 00:15:31.519 Well, and I think that one of the tough things 267 00:15:31.559 --> 00:15:34.559 about that is once prices go up, it's hard to 268 00:15:34.600 --> 00:15:36.000 get them back down again. 269 00:15:38.399 --> 00:15:41.840 Well, we've seen that, you know, we've seen inflation as 270 00:15:41.919 --> 00:15:45.720 high as nine percent under President Biden. It's about two 271 00:15:45.759 --> 00:15:49.679 point four percent right now, and there are many economists 272 00:15:49.679 --> 00:15:52.799 on Wall Street that predict that in the short term 273 00:15:52.799 --> 00:15:56.039 we're going to see inflation go up once again to 274 00:15:56.279 --> 00:15:59.840 about three percent in the short term. So prices going up, 275 00:16:00.360 --> 00:16:03.159 whether it's gasoline that you're filling up your car with 276 00:16:03.360 --> 00:16:07.600 or it's produce at the supermarket, You're going to notice 277 00:16:08.039 --> 00:16:11.919 some increases in prices for sure over the course of 278 00:16:11.960 --> 00:16:14.720 the next few weeks. Once those terraffs go into effect. 279 00:16:14.720 --> 00:16:15.720 And that will be tomorrow. 280 00:16:16.080 --> 00:16:20.200 Okay, and then John, you mentioned gas, and you mentioned produce, 281 00:16:20.279 --> 00:16:24.440 you mentioned electronics from China. But what are some of 282 00:16:24.440 --> 00:16:27.960 the other things that will be affected by these tariffs. 283 00:16:28.639 --> 00:16:31.240 Well, you have to figure that when you're talking about 284 00:16:31.279 --> 00:16:34.480 the price gas, everything is impacted by gas, you know, 285 00:16:34.519 --> 00:16:38.759 in terms of being transported by the trucking industry in particular, 286 00:16:39.080 --> 00:16:41.399 and so all of this will have an impact on 287 00:16:41.679 --> 00:16:44.960 just about anything you can possibly think of. The item itself, 288 00:16:45.879 --> 00:16:49.600 you know, may have its origins in Canada, but when 289 00:16:49.639 --> 00:16:54.399 you think about auto parts in particular or autos specifically, 290 00:16:54.600 --> 00:16:58.120 you're going to see prices increase. There. There's an estimate 291 00:16:58.200 --> 00:17:00.200 that I've seen that you could see the price of 292 00:17:00.200 --> 00:17:02.720 a new cargo up as much as three thousand dollars 293 00:17:03.200 --> 00:17:06.359 because of these tariffs. Obviously it depends upon which kind 294 00:17:06.359 --> 00:17:09.519 of car you're you're purchasing, but the President is also 295 00:17:10.559 --> 00:17:13.880 pledged to impose tariffs on the European Union, so we 296 00:17:13.920 --> 00:17:16.319 could see even more pain when you think about all 297 00:17:16.359 --> 00:17:19.480 the products that come from Europe. And then you know 298 00:17:19.559 --> 00:17:22.519 that Europe is already planning or I certainly do, because 299 00:17:22.559 --> 00:17:25.279 I've spoken to the EO ambassador to the United States. 300 00:17:25.640 --> 00:17:29.319 Europe is already preparing for retaliatory tariffs on American goods 301 00:17:29.359 --> 00:17:32.400 if indeed those tariffs are placed upon their goods coming 302 00:17:32.440 --> 00:17:33.559 into the United States. 303 00:17:34.079 --> 00:17:36.240 Okay, John, I have a question for you about tariffs. 304 00:17:37.119 --> 00:17:40.799 So we slap a twenty five percent tariff on We're 305 00:17:40.799 --> 00:17:42.839 just going to use Canada for right now, on gas 306 00:17:42.880 --> 00:17:47.039 coming in. So that twenty five percent tariff that goes 307 00:17:47.079 --> 00:17:49.920 to the US government. It's a fee that's charged as 308 00:17:49.960 --> 00:17:50.480 they come in. 309 00:17:52.119 --> 00:17:56.319 Well, the tariff is paid by the entity that is 310 00:17:56.400 --> 00:18:00.359 receiving the product. You mentioned gasoline. Let's mentioned an item. 311 00:18:01.279 --> 00:18:06.119 Let's well gasolene. Fine, yes, but the entity that is 312 00:18:06.200 --> 00:18:10.359 receiving that product would be paying that tariff indeed to 313 00:18:10.480 --> 00:18:13.720 the US government. That is true. But the entity that 314 00:18:13.839 --> 00:18:16.359 is receiving that product is not going to eat the cost. 315 00:18:16.480 --> 00:18:19.480 Amy They're going to pass that cost along to the 316 00:18:19.599 --> 00:18:23.880 US consumer. They're they're in it for profit, and that's 317 00:18:23.920 --> 00:18:28.039 the reason why those costs typically are then you know, 318 00:18:28.119 --> 00:18:31.119 added on to the product of as it relates to 319 00:18:31.119 --> 00:18:32.920 the final cost that Americans pay. 320 00:18:33.119 --> 00:18:37.400 Oh okay, so then maybe I'm understanding tariff's incorrectly. So 321 00:18:37.519 --> 00:18:40.720 let's go to produce because that's that's a smaller one 322 00:18:40.759 --> 00:18:45.119 to take a bite out of. So if Ralphs and 323 00:18:45.720 --> 00:18:51.799 Safe way By produce from Canada, they have to pay 324 00:18:51.799 --> 00:18:55.359 twenty five percent, like a twenty five percent fee or 325 00:18:55.400 --> 00:18:57.680 twenty five percent more to get it from Canada. 326 00:18:58.799 --> 00:18:59.480 That is correct. 327 00:19:00.000 --> 00:19:03.400 Oh okay, So it doesn't go to the government, it's 328 00:19:03.440 --> 00:19:09.440 that they have to pay. I'm just so confused. Who 329 00:19:09.440 --> 00:19:10.319 does the money go to. 330 00:19:10.440 --> 00:19:14.279 Well, yeah, the money, the money would the money that 331 00:19:14.400 --> 00:19:17.880 is derived from those tariffs, the money that is added 332 00:19:17.880 --> 00:19:20.799 onto the product that does go to the US government. 333 00:19:21.240 --> 00:19:23.640 And indeed that that's one of the reasons why President 334 00:19:24.000 --> 00:19:27.640 Trump has advocated a trade tariff's policy. He thinks it's 335 00:19:27.680 --> 00:19:32.480 putting more money into, you know, the coffers of our government. 336 00:19:33.079 --> 00:19:36.680 The problem is is that does it indeed bring down 337 00:19:36.720 --> 00:19:39.960 the trade and balance that exists? You know, certainly if 338 00:19:40.000 --> 00:19:42.559 you're talking about higher costs on products, it does have 339 00:19:42.599 --> 00:19:46.720 an impact on demand and maybe consumers may say, you 340 00:19:46.759 --> 00:19:49.880 know what, I'm not going to buy avocados for my 341 00:19:49.960 --> 00:19:53.960 Super Bowl party. They're too expensive. I'm not going to buy, 342 00:19:54.039 --> 00:19:57.000 you know, a new home. Because the cost of lumber 343 00:19:57.079 --> 00:20:00.359 coming from Canada has increased the cost of that home, 344 00:20:00.400 --> 00:20:05.079 and so it has an impact ultimately on our GDP 345 00:20:05.599 --> 00:20:10.279 when you're talking about the demand on products that Americans purchase, 346 00:20:10.559 --> 00:20:12.559 and that's not a good thing when we want a 347 00:20:12.599 --> 00:20:17.640 strong economy to increase the labor pool in America and 348 00:20:17.720 --> 00:20:19.240 all the things associated with it. 349 00:20:19.519 --> 00:20:21.920 Okay, well, we know that Trump is talking with both 350 00:20:22.000 --> 00:20:25.720 the Trudeau and the leader of Mexico today, so. 351 00:20:26.440 --> 00:20:29.000 Who knows, But you know what, it's not going to 352 00:20:29.039 --> 00:20:32.880 be a conversation which will lead to President Trump removing 353 00:20:33.359 --> 00:20:36.160 the tariffs which are due to go into effect tomorrow. 354 00:20:36.200 --> 00:20:39.319 I mean, I think it's just a call saying essentially, 355 00:20:39.440 --> 00:20:43.839 these tariffs will remain in place until we see a 356 00:20:43.960 --> 00:20:46.680 lowering of the trade deficit that exists between the US 357 00:20:46.720 --> 00:20:52.400 and Canada, the US and Mexico, or we see a 358 00:20:52.480 --> 00:20:56.000 decrease in the amount of fentanyl coming into the US. 359 00:20:56.000 --> 00:20:58.640 That's another reason that the President has said that he's 360 00:20:58.680 --> 00:21:00.680 imposing these tariffs on both countries. 361 00:21:00.799 --> 00:21:04.559 Okay, ABC not ABC's I don't know why I go 362 00:21:04.640 --> 00:21:07.960 to ABC. It's kfi's the White House correspondent, John Decker. 363 00:21:07.960 --> 00:21:10.759 I'm just used to saying, all right, John Decker, thank 364 00:21:10.759 --> 00:21:12.279 you so much for the information we'll talk to you 365 00:21:12.279 --> 00:21:15.880 again very soon.
