The days of the two bags were 8 00:00:26.160 --> 00:00:29.879 free finished starting today thirty five dollars for checking in 9 00:00:29.960 --> 00:00:34.039 one bag, forty five for a second bag, a third bag. 10 00:00:34.079 --> 00:00:36.600 If you happen to have three, try one hundred and 11 00:00:36.600 --> 00:00:37.439 fifty dollars. 12 00:00:38.200 --> 00:00:40.799 I mean crazy. And also the. 13 00:00:40.759 --> 00:00:45.439 State Department, starting yesterday suspended foreign students visa appointments. 14 00:00:46.000 --> 00:00:49.159 It looks like foreign students are going to be in. 15 00:00:49.359 --> 00:00:51.320 A little bit of trouble, not trouble so much, but 16 00:00:51.359 --> 00:00:53.359 won't be able to come here on student visas or 17 00:00:53.439 --> 00:00:56.520 will be severely restricted part of the new policy. 18 00:00:56.079 --> 00:00:56.840 Of the administration. 19 00:00:57.679 --> 00:01:04.400 Now we know that Canadians are boycottings because well principally 20 00:01:04.480 --> 00:01:09.439 because the Trump administration. President Trump said we want to 21 00:01:09.519 --> 00:01:13.760 annex Canada. We want Canada to become the fifty first state. 22 00:01:13.920 --> 00:01:17.920 You'll you Canadians will do so much better as American citizens. 23 00:01:17.959 --> 00:01:22.920 You'll make more money, you'll spend less if you are 24 00:01:22.959 --> 00:01:25.680 part of our family. Of course, Canada is a sovereign 25 00:01:25.760 --> 00:01:27.920 country and Canada likes being Canada. 26 00:01:28.519 --> 00:01:30.519 Canadians are not into being Americans. 27 00:01:30.519 --> 00:01:34.400 So the boycott is happening from Canada to the United States, 28 00:01:34.959 --> 00:01:38.400 where Canadian tourists are dropping like flies. How about the 29 00:01:38.439 --> 00:01:43.319 other way around. Canada has a huge number of American tourists. 30 00:01:43.319 --> 00:01:47.120 Matter of fact, the majority seventy nine percent of international 31 00:01:47.200 --> 00:01:52.120 visits in the third quarter of last year were Americans. 32 00:01:52.799 --> 00:01:57.040 And so since the boycott is going one way, Canada 33 00:01:57.680 --> 00:02:01.079 is doing everything it can not to have it the 34 00:02:01.400 --> 00:02:04.799 other way. And the reason Americans are not going is 35 00:02:04.840 --> 00:02:12.240 because anticipating anti American sentiment and therefore they're holding back. Well, 36 00:02:12.800 --> 00:02:17.879 Canada saying, don't hold back. We want you here. We 37 00:02:18.000 --> 00:02:21.840 are going to welcome you with open arms. 38 00:02:22.680 --> 00:02:24.400 We don't care about the politics. 39 00:02:24.439 --> 00:02:28.599 Now, this is a tourism business, saying politics are different. 40 00:02:29.759 --> 00:02:33.000 We may not like the administration, but we love you 41 00:02:33.080 --> 00:02:34.039 as individuals. 42 00:02:34.960 --> 00:02:36.560 And that happens all over the world. 43 00:02:36.759 --> 00:02:41.159 Vietnam, for example, if an American goes to Vietnam, American 44 00:02:41.240 --> 00:02:46.400 is treated wonderfully in Vietnam. They've always liked Americans, they 45 00:02:46.479 --> 00:02:51.400 just don't like americ cu or didn't. Vietnam had the 46 00:02:51.759 --> 00:02:56.560 very bad luck to win a war against the United States, 47 00:02:57.360 --> 00:03:02.360 which cost them decades of being labeled a pariah nation 48 00:03:02.560 --> 00:03:04.840 for the most part, being cut off in terms of 49 00:03:04.879 --> 00:03:06.120 any financial help. 50 00:03:06.639 --> 00:03:08.319 It took decades for. 51 00:03:08.280 --> 00:03:12.960 The United States and Vietnam to begin having relations, and 52 00:03:13.319 --> 00:03:19.199 finally when the US recognized Vietnam, which is basically North Vietnam, 53 00:03:19.840 --> 00:03:23.400 and Americans started going there and business started happening from 54 00:03:23.520 --> 00:03:27.280 minute one. You know, Americans are just treated wonderfully. You know, 55 00:03:27.319 --> 00:03:30.680 there's a lot of ham handed politics and propaganda about 56 00:03:30.719 --> 00:03:33.719 the Vietnam War, which they call the American War. But 57 00:03:33.759 --> 00:03:38.759 the bottom line, they realize that tourist dollars, that's free 58 00:03:38.840 --> 00:03:42.879 money to the country. There's no infrastructure they build. They 59 00:03:42.919 --> 00:03:47.120 don't build new new factories or new roads. They don't 60 00:03:47.120 --> 00:03:50.319 build new sewage plants, which they have to do when 61 00:03:50.680 --> 00:03:55.800 their country is growing, when people come in and their 62 00:03:55.919 --> 00:04:00.360 native population is spending money. Tourist dollars are the best 63 00:04:00.439 --> 00:04:05.039 dollars out there because it's just money coming in and 64 00:04:05.120 --> 00:04:08.960 a lot of money coming in. So the Canadian tourist 65 00:04:09.039 --> 00:04:12.240 industry is saying, hey, forget politics. 66 00:04:13.039 --> 00:04:14.199 You know, the politics are. 67 00:04:14.039 --> 00:04:17.720 So bad that at NHL games National Hockey League games, 68 00:04:17.720 --> 00:04:20.360 which a lot of Canadians play against Americans because the 69 00:04:20.480 --> 00:04:24.279 NHL is both Canadian teams and the American teams, when 70 00:04:24.279 --> 00:04:27.199 the national anthem is played the American you know, our 71 00:04:27.279 --> 00:04:31.519 national anthem is played. Both anthems are played, you know, Canadian, 72 00:04:32.480 --> 00:04:35.839 the Canadian anthem. Find everybody plays. Everybody stands up. When 73 00:04:36.040 --> 00:04:42.040 the Star Spangled Banner is played in Canada, everybody starts 74 00:04:42.240 --> 00:04:47.079 booing like crazy. That is not a fun position to 75 00:04:47.160 --> 00:04:47.519 be in. 76 00:04:47.920 --> 00:04:50.720 Boo It's a lot. 77 00:04:50.639 --> 00:04:55.600 Like Neil booz me whenever I say something that's questionable. 78 00:04:55.920 --> 00:04:56.680 Also hissing. 79 00:04:56.839 --> 00:05:02.720 Also all right here, there's a question can you disappear? 80 00:05:03.160 --> 00:05:06.000 And I'm not talking about David Copperfield disappearing. I'm talking 81 00:05:06.040 --> 00:05:08.120 about your identity disappearing? 82 00:05:08.959 --> 00:05:10.439 And is it possible? 83 00:05:12.360 --> 00:05:18.399 Maybe kinda sorta, but man, is it difficult. And I'm 84 00:05:18.399 --> 00:05:20.399 going to tell you a story when we come back. 85 00:05:20.600 --> 00:05:24.439 It is a Wednesday morning, May twenty eighth. 86 00:05:24.600 --> 00:05:26.279 Still a lot going on today. 87 00:05:27.199 --> 00:05:29.319 One of the questions that I'm asked all the time, 88 00:05:29.800 --> 00:05:31.600 and it's particularly on the Saturday Show, and we talk 89 00:05:31.639 --> 00:05:33.759 about it all the time. Is the lack of privacy? 90 00:05:34.439 --> 00:05:39.000 You know, how come we have absolutely no privacy? Well, 91 00:05:39.519 --> 00:05:43.480 think about your privacy and think about the world we 92 00:05:43.560 --> 00:05:47.839 live in. We've surrendered a lot of our privacy over 93 00:05:47.879 --> 00:05:48.959 the past two decades. 94 00:05:49.000 --> 00:05:50.600 Why because we want conveniences. 95 00:05:50.959 --> 00:05:55.639 We want free email, supercomputer in our pockets called phones, 96 00:05:56.240 --> 00:05:59.480 same day package delivery, the names of third and fourth cousins. 97 00:05:59.519 --> 00:06:03.720 We've never heard of doorbell cameras, traffic cameras, Google street 98 00:06:03.800 --> 00:06:08.600 view cameras, police cameras, phone cameras, retail security cameras. 99 00:06:08.639 --> 00:06:12.160 Nothing happens without someone video it, video it. The ray 100 00:06:12.199 --> 00:06:15.759 band made a smart glasses and. 101 00:06:15.759 --> 00:06:21.360 Glocating, geolocating phones and air tags, Sirius, Cyrus and Alexa. 102 00:06:21.839 --> 00:06:26.240 Evesdropping on us are televisions when they're off able to 103 00:06:26.439 --> 00:06:29.800 evesdrop on conversations. We have much less know exactly what 104 00:06:29.920 --> 00:06:33.759 we are we go shopping. There are programs out there 105 00:06:34.079 --> 00:06:36.759 that know exactly what we've shopped, how long we're in 106 00:06:36.759 --> 00:06:39.759 a store, where we've stayed in front of If we 107 00:06:39.839 --> 00:06:43.079 spend a lot of time looking at which cereal we want, 108 00:06:43.199 --> 00:06:43.800 they know that. 109 00:06:45.279 --> 00:06:50.720 So how do you stay private? Is it possible. 110 00:06:51.959 --> 00:06:53.879 Well, let me tell you the story of a guy 111 00:06:53.959 --> 00:07:00.319 named Alec Harris and his job, his tradecraft. His company 112 00:07:01.040 --> 00:07:04.920 is devoted to you being unfindable, and. 113 00:07:04.920 --> 00:07:09.439 Here's what he has to do. Mail addressed to him 114 00:07:09.639 --> 00:07:13.519 goes to a UPS store. When he buys online, he 115 00:07:13.759 --> 00:07:14.959 uses ubikey. 116 00:07:15.720 --> 00:07:18.160 It's a piece of hardware looks like a thumb drive 117 00:07:18.519 --> 00:07:24.480 to open Bitwarden, a password manager that stores hundreds of unique, long, 118 00:07:24.639 --> 00:07:28.279 random passwords. You've seen those when you get the spam 119 00:07:28.319 --> 00:07:30.639 calls and the spam emails, where you have. 120 00:07:30.680 --> 00:07:36.319 These incredibly long, ridiculous passwords that no one could ever ever. 121 00:07:38.240 --> 00:07:41.480 Ever figure out or certainly keep track of unless you've 122 00:07:41.480 --> 00:07:46.720 write him down individual. He strictly limits access to his work, 123 00:07:46.839 --> 00:07:50.759 which is to keep people private. He has personal phone 124 00:07:50.839 --> 00:07:55.600 numbers associated his main phone with ten different numbers, so 125 00:07:55.639 --> 00:07:58.160 you're calling his number if you can ever find it, 126 00:07:58.199 --> 00:08:02.199 and it goes to ten different numbers. He has burner numbers, 127 00:08:03.079 --> 00:08:07.519 project specific numbers, a local area code number to give 128 00:08:07.560 --> 00:08:11.600 out to workers coming to his house, a dedicated number 129 00:08:11.759 --> 00:08:15.199 just for the two factor authentication, and a number from 130 00:08:15.240 --> 00:08:17.920 a city where he previously lived that he doesn't use 131 00:08:18.000 --> 00:08:25.040 much anymore, but is helpful in confusing identity databases. That's 132 00:08:25.160 --> 00:08:33.639 the start of trying to remain private and disappearing. His 133 00:08:33.799 --> 00:08:39.039 mobile carriers can't associate with his device. He opens up 134 00:08:39.120 --> 00:08:42.559 multiple browser sections on the phone, each showing a different 135 00:08:42.600 --> 00:08:47.919 IP address, which limits tracking and prevents websites from getting 136 00:08:47.960 --> 00:08:49.320 the information on him. 137 00:08:49.360 --> 00:08:50.600 Because there is. 138 00:08:51.440 --> 00:08:54.360 There's so much out there, they're so disparate that it 139 00:08:54.399 --> 00:08:58.639 all doesn't connect. Look what he has to do. He 140 00:08:58.679 --> 00:09:02.840 has prepaid a nonymous debit and gift cards like Apple 141 00:09:03.159 --> 00:09:07.720 and Google Play. He has prepaid SIM cards. He has 142 00:09:07.799 --> 00:09:11.240 phones for use just in Europe. He has a Faraday 143 00:09:11.279 --> 00:09:15.080 bag to shield wireless devices from hacks and location tracking. 144 00:09:17.879 --> 00:09:23.679 We haven't started yet. He carries a passport card. He 145 00:09:23.720 --> 00:09:24.960 has a burner laptop. 146 00:09:27.879 --> 00:09:33.080 He has a wallet sized government issued ID, which, unlike 147 00:09:33.120 --> 00:09:38.159 a driver's license, doesn't show an address. It's like your 148 00:09:38.240 --> 00:09:43.000 passport doesn't have an address, but that's ID. When he's 149 00:09:43.080 --> 00:09:47.039 using Uber, he provides an intersection near his house, not 150 00:09:47.159 --> 00:09:50.759 his home, but a couple of blocks away as his 151 00:09:50.840 --> 00:09:54.519 pickup or drop off point for food deliveries. He'll give 152 00:09:54.519 --> 00:09:57.799 a random neighbors address, and after the order is accepted, 153 00:09:58.480 --> 00:10:01.279 he messages the driver, which of course we can do. 154 00:10:02.000 --> 00:10:05.360 And and he literally says, oops, I typed out the 155 00:10:05.399 --> 00:10:06.200 address wrong. 156 00:10:06.840 --> 00:10:08.639 Let me know when you're here, and I. 157 00:10:08.600 --> 00:10:12.080 Will run out and get the groceries at the wrong address. 158 00:10:14.519 --> 00:10:15.639 It doesn't stop. 159 00:10:16.759 --> 00:10:20.080 He's the CEO of a company called haven X, and 160 00:10:20.159 --> 00:10:24.039 what it does is provide the clients with extreme privacy 161 00:10:24.080 --> 00:10:25.279 and security services. 162 00:10:25.320 --> 00:10:26.759 Now is it just being paranoid? 163 00:10:27.440 --> 00:10:29.480 Is it just him saying, oh my god, I just 164 00:10:29.480 --> 00:10:32.879 don't want anybody to know about me. No, no customers 165 00:10:33.399 --> 00:10:36.240 and sometimes who pay tens of thousands of dollars a month 166 00:10:36.679 --> 00:10:43.600 face serious threats. Summer celebrities, some are very wealthy people, 167 00:10:43.919 --> 00:10:48.320 business executives. After the killing of the United health Care CEO 168 00:10:48.399 --> 00:10:53.679 Brian Thompson last year, executive CEOs the companies hired haven X. 169 00:10:53.720 --> 00:10:56.080 Boy. Let me tell you his is a growth company. 170 00:10:56.759 --> 00:11:01.559 He has done it, and lots of companies are in 171 00:11:01.600 --> 00:11:04.480 the security business. So you think he has a lot 172 00:11:04.519 --> 00:11:10.399 of competition. He doesn't. Look what he did when he 173 00:11:10.399 --> 00:11:13.519 bought a house. He set up a trust using a 174 00:11:13.559 --> 00:11:17.399 friend as a trustee. Once the home purchase was complete, 175 00:11:17.399 --> 00:11:21.080 the friend resigned and named Harris as his successor. So 176 00:11:21.200 --> 00:11:23.600 the house is in the name of the trust. But 177 00:11:23.799 --> 00:11:26.600 he's not the trustee. But he chansored the name of 178 00:11:26.639 --> 00:11:30.240 the trust.

But confusing, all right, 243 00:14:33.200 --> 00:14:37.120 fair enough, just all kinds of crazy stuff. I mean, 244 00:14:37.159 --> 00:14:40.600 I've gone through that where I've had chest pains and 245 00:14:40.639 --> 00:14:43.759 it turned out to be no big deal.

These track biometric data 253 00:15:06.279 --> 00:15:10.000 body temperature, heart rate, blood oxygen levels and others. Just 254 00:15:10.000 --> 00:15:14.240 what you need to know if you are a completely 255 00:15:14.320 --> 00:15:19.000 paranoid in a hypochondriac, and there is people are. 256 00:15:18.919 --> 00:15:19.879 Now starting to look at this. 257 00:15:19.960 --> 00:15:23.200 Experts are saying, wait a minute, Psychologically, this isn't very 258 00:15:23.240 --> 00:15:27.559 healthy because it gives you parameters that are considered normal, 259 00:15:27.720 --> 00:15:30.639 and not everybody is quote normal. 260 00:15:31.399 --> 00:15:33.639 People do bounce up and down. 261 00:15:33.679 --> 00:15:37.559 For example, take a blood pressure exam at the doctor's 262 00:15:37.759 --> 00:15:41.279 or at home, and the first time it's really high, 263 00:15:41.960 --> 00:15:44.399 and so then you calm down and all of a 264 00:15:44.440 --> 00:15:46.840 sudden it drops twenty points. I just did that with 265 00:15:47.240 --> 00:15:49.559 my doctor where it was really high, and I have 266 00:15:49.639 --> 00:15:53.279 controlled blood pressure. Granted I'm on some medication, which I 267 00:15:53.320 --> 00:15:57.840 have been forever, but it shouldn't be one forty over 268 00:15:58.200 --> 00:15:58.960 ninety five. 269 00:15:59.559 --> 00:16:00.960 So I'm going, oh my god, I'm in trouble. 270 00:16:00.960 --> 00:16:04.840 And the nurse said, you know what, sit down, think 271 00:16:05.159 --> 00:16:07.240 of some great thoughts. 272 00:16:08.879 --> 00:16:09.799 So there I was. 273 00:16:09.919 --> 00:16:12.399 I pitched a tent and I was thinking of nice thoughts, 274 00:16:13.159 --> 00:16:16.240 and she took my blood pressure again. It had dropped 275 00:16:16.279 --> 00:16:22.000 thirty points. So things do go up and down. Your 276 00:16:22.000 --> 00:16:25.720 body temperature goes up and down, your heart rate jumps 277 00:16:25.840 --> 00:16:27.960 up and down, and all of a sudden you're looking 278 00:16:28.000 --> 00:16:30.879 at this and going, oh my goodness, I'm in trouble. 279 00:16:31.679 --> 00:16:33.399 And so there's a couple of stories at New York 280 00:16:33.440 --> 00:16:35.159 Times did a couple of articles on this and went 281 00:16:35.200 --> 00:16:39.000 and interviewed some doctors and some people who were these 282 00:16:39.200 --> 00:16:45.720 or ring hypochondriacs. And the doctors basically said to these folks, 283 00:16:46.039 --> 00:16:48.879 you know what, here's the advice. I'm going to give 284 00:16:48.919 --> 00:16:52.399 you one piece of medical advice. As a result of 285 00:16:52.440 --> 00:16:58.000 this information you're getting Ditch the ring that or a ring, 286 00:16:58.639 --> 00:17:03.720 get rid of it.

Recently, one 355 00:20:34.680 --> 00:20:40.000 of the things that President Trump has requested required made 356 00:20:40.000 --> 00:20:44.079 a massive move towards is bringing manufacturing to the United States. 357 00:20:45.160 --> 00:20:47.640 And you know, I don't know how many people are 358 00:20:47.640 --> 00:20:52.720 against that, putting American workers on the payroll. We don't 359 00:20:52.720 --> 00:20:56.480 have much of unemployment, but okay, we want to bring factories, 360 00:20:56.480 --> 00:20:59.079 spending the money here and spending instead of spending it overseas. 361 00:21:00.200 --> 00:21:02.799 Now it's easy to say, hey, I want you to 362 00:21:03.000 --> 00:21:07.119 bring your company the manufacturing to the United States. And 363 00:21:07.160 --> 00:21:09.759 in the case of what President Trump has said, if 364 00:21:09.799 --> 00:21:13.400 you don't to Apple, it's a twenty five percent tariff, 365 00:21:14.400 --> 00:21:17.920 teriffs paid by the consumer or the companies that are 366 00:21:18.000 --> 00:21:20.279 importing him. He says, Oh, it's the other it's the 367 00:21:20.319 --> 00:21:24.279 countries themselves who manufacture and ship over here that pay 368 00:21:24.279 --> 00:21:24.720 the tariffs. 369 00:21:24.720 --> 00:21:25.799 That's absolutely not true. 370 00:21:26.559 --> 00:21:28.720 If you buy an iPhone, you buy a product, and 371 00:21:28.759 --> 00:21:31.799 I do this, I buy a product from China, which 372 00:21:31.799 --> 00:21:36.839 I do, and for everye hundred dollars of money I 373 00:21:36.880 --> 00:21:39.200 spend on the product, I pay a tariff on that. 374 00:21:39.799 --> 00:21:41.240 On that, I pay the tariff. 375 00:21:42.160 --> 00:21:44.759 And so for a period of time with China and 376 00:21:44.839 --> 00:21:48.400 its stainless steel cookware, it was one hundred and seventy 377 00:21:48.400 --> 00:21:52.279 five percent tariff. So I brought in one hundred dollars. 378 00:21:52.759 --> 00:21:54.720 I had to write the government of the United States 379 00:21:54.799 --> 00:21:58.599 one hundred and seventy five dollars. Didn't work out so well, 380 00:21:59.160 --> 00:22:03.079 not for a lot of company. So what the President 381 00:22:03.119 --> 00:22:06.839 then reduced it because it was so untenable. So Apple 382 00:22:07.240 --> 00:22:10.519 is going to be hit with tariffs, or we're going 383 00:22:10.559 --> 00:22:13.720 to be hit with tariffs of twenty five percent and 384 00:22:13.799 --> 00:22:15.880 so okay, so let's move to the United States. 385 00:22:15.960 --> 00:22:17.920 Well, let me tell you what it takes. 386 00:22:17.640 --> 00:22:21.519 To move iPhones, the iPhone manufacturing to the United States, 387 00:22:22.240 --> 00:22:27.359 shifting away from China India, for example, that have highly 388 00:22:27.400 --> 00:22:32.839 specialized workforce and skills that are needed to produce these 389 00:22:33.440 --> 00:22:36.480 Apple phones. We don't have people that have those skills. 390 00:22:36.599 --> 00:22:40.160 We can, we will. But you think that happens overnight, 391 00:22:40.960 --> 00:22:47.680 it does not. China has a system of factories, plants, 392 00:22:47.799 --> 00:22:54.279 distribution tailored specifically for assembling electronics. The big company fox Con, 393 00:22:54.400 --> 00:23:02.279 which assembles the iPhone, employs nine hundred thousand people. It 394 00:23:02.440 --> 00:23:07.079 manufactures other stuff, but nine hundred thousand people, of which 395 00:23:07.079 --> 00:23:08.119 a huge percentage. 396 00:23:08.799 --> 00:23:12.839 Is it a factory that manufactures people? Yeah? 397 00:23:12.880 --> 00:23:16.759 Probably during break Well, it's not just a factory. It's 398 00:23:17.440 --> 00:23:21.920 obviously as campus is full of factories. But senior vice 399 00:23:21.960 --> 00:23:26.240 president of an international market research company, Kantar, says that 400 00:23:26.440 --> 00:23:30.880 the expertise to make each of the components is something 401 00:23:30.920 --> 00:23:34.240
