WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.600 --> 00:00:02.839 This is Gary and Shannon and you're listening to kf 2 00:00:02.879 --> 00:00:05.360 I AM six forty, the Gary and Shannon Show on 3 00:00:05.440 --> 00:00:07.280 demand on the iHeartRadio app. 4 00:00:10.000 --> 00:00:12.320 Welcome to Tuesday, April eighth. For those of you who 5 00:00:12.400 --> 00:00:12.759 are listening. 6 00:00:12.800 --> 00:00:18.000 At the end of the show yesterday I caught this. 7 00:00:19.160 --> 00:00:23.640 Oh it's a big thank you so much. 8 00:00:23.679 --> 00:00:26.039 You're welcome. I didn't worry your. 9 00:00:27.839 --> 00:00:31.399 Your voice is very gravelly today. Do you have allergies? 10 00:00:31.760 --> 00:00:36.399 Mine is yeah, really no, no, don't you know have allergies? 11 00:00:36.399 --> 00:00:38.560 You want to disclose a lot of people have allergies 12 00:00:38.560 --> 00:00:39.399 this time of year, so. 13 00:00:39.399 --> 00:00:40.960 You're excusing me of having allergies. 14 00:00:41.280 --> 00:00:42.679 I just think it's one of those things you wouldn't 15 00:00:42.679 --> 00:00:45.960 want to admit to, and partly. 16 00:00:45.880 --> 00:00:50.600 Weak people have allergies exactly, all right, So the White 17 00:00:50.640 --> 00:00:55.000 House is now saying as many as seventy countries want 18 00:00:55.079 --> 00:00:57.359 to negotiate trade tariffs. 19 00:00:57.880 --> 00:01:00.439 This was the plan. This was Trump's plan all along. 20 00:01:00.560 --> 00:01:04.200 There have been some other discussions from other economic advisors 21 00:01:04.239 --> 00:01:06.680 of his that have kind of muddled the waters as 22 00:01:06.719 --> 00:01:08.719 to exactly what with the plan was. 23 00:01:08.879 --> 00:01:10.079 But here's the thing. 24 00:01:10.480 --> 00:01:15.920 Not China, and much like the global warming issue, if 25 00:01:15.959 --> 00:01:18.480 you don't get China and India to sign up for 26 00:01:18.599 --> 00:01:26.599 your global climate change initiatives. Your piss c you're purinating 27 00:01:26.680 --> 00:01:31.359 into the ocean. It means nothing, It means nothing. You've 28 00:01:31.359 --> 00:01:33.400 got to get China to come to the table. That's 29 00:01:33.439 --> 00:01:36.400 where we get our stuff. They take our stuff. Everyone 30 00:01:36.480 --> 00:01:40.400 knows this. That is the primary Who cares if Lithuania 31 00:01:40.400 --> 00:01:41.599 comes to the bargaining table? 32 00:01:41.959 --> 00:01:42.159 Right? 33 00:01:42.519 --> 00:01:44.120 That is the primary thing. 34 00:01:45.120 --> 00:01:47.879 And the secondary, as we mentioned yesterday, was the concern 35 00:01:47.959 --> 00:01:50.239 that China is going to then sort of reformulate where 36 00:01:50.280 --> 00:01:54.040 they give who they trade with, who becomes sort of 37 00:01:54.079 --> 00:01:58.879 their major trading partners. We've talked also about I've said 38 00:01:58.879 --> 00:02:00.920 it a couple of times. There are differ different stories 39 00:02:00.959 --> 00:02:04.680 out there about exactly what the policies are supposed to be. 40 00:02:04.760 --> 00:02:07.239 Peter Navarro, of course, is a White House senior counselor. 41 00:02:07.319 --> 00:02:11.680 He says this is not about negotiation. He said, this 42 00:02:11.719 --> 00:02:14.719 is a national emergency based on a trade deficit that's 43 00:02:14.759 --> 00:02:18.520 gotten out of control because of cheating. Then Kevin Hassett, 44 00:02:18.520 --> 00:02:21.039 a guy we mentioned yesterday, he says these are a 45 00:02:21.159 --> 00:02:25.199 temporary tactic for leverage in negotiations, so he believes they 46 00:02:25.199 --> 00:02:28.479 are negotiation. Mike Lee Senator Mike Lee, not part of 47 00:02:28.520 --> 00:02:32.400 the administration, but obviously a big supporter of these. He said, 48 00:02:32.680 --> 00:02:36.120 there will be zero trade barriers. The goal is to 49 00:02:36.199 --> 00:02:41.199 eliminate trade barriers, not just negotiate. Scott Bessant, he is 50 00:02:41.240 --> 00:02:44.000 your Secretary of the Treasury. He said that this will 51 00:02:44.000 --> 00:02:47.479 create new, long lasting supply of revenue for the government 52 00:02:47.560 --> 00:02:51.240 because remember, supposedly we'd be bringing in six hundred billion 53 00:02:51.280 --> 00:02:54.599 dollars a year on the tara. Sorry, the tariffs are 54 00:02:55.199 --> 00:02:58.360 tariffs that we would be charging. But if we negotiate 55 00:02:58.400 --> 00:03:02.199 all that down, that money is gone. And then Howard Lutnik, 56 00:03:02.280 --> 00:03:06.000 Secretary of Commerce, says this whole thing as a national 57 00:03:06.039 --> 00:03:08.879 security tool. He says, this is a national security issue. 58 00:03:09.840 --> 00:03:11.719 He points out the fact that we don't make enough 59 00:03:11.759 --> 00:03:15.400 medicine in this country anymore. Now, again, those that's you know, 60 00:03:15.680 --> 00:03:20.199 five different high profile either members of the administration or 61 00:03:20.240 --> 00:03:22.840 supporters of the tariff policies that have been put in place, 62 00:03:23.199 --> 00:03:26.520 and none of them have the same message. They're all 63 00:03:26.560 --> 00:03:28.879 talking about different things. Now that's not to say that 64 00:03:28.919 --> 00:03:33.719 they're mutually exclusive. They can all be somewhat correct. It's 65 00:03:33.800 --> 00:03:36.759 that one of the major issues with the way the 66 00:03:36.800 --> 00:03:40.599 White House has done. This is they have not set 67 00:03:40.639 --> 00:03:44.879 the message clearly. They have not set the intention and 68 00:03:44.960 --> 00:03:46.800 sold it to the American people very clearly. 69 00:03:46.919 --> 00:03:48.840 What do you mean, well, I mean I thought the 70 00:03:48.879 --> 00:03:51.280 intention was to get everyone to the table, so America 71 00:03:51.319 --> 00:03:52.800 starts getting fed over. 72 00:03:53.120 --> 00:03:55.960 Right, which is which is what Kevin Hasset said it is. 73 00:03:56.120 --> 00:03:58.439 But Peter Navarro, one of the other advisors that's in 74 00:03:58.520 --> 00:04:01.680 all of this, has said that negotiation is not the policy, 75 00:04:01.719 --> 00:04:03.080 that's not why we're doing it. 76 00:04:03.199 --> 00:04:08.199 Now. He may be saying that as again the negotiations. 77 00:04:08.280 --> 00:04:11.039 Buddy, Well, it's all about what time do they say this, 78 00:04:11.639 --> 00:04:14.080 because if he said that before people started coming to 79 00:04:14.080 --> 00:04:16.160 the table, it's saving your ass because people are not 80 00:04:16.160 --> 00:04:19.639 coming to the table right. There are a number of people, Republicans, 81 00:04:19.680 --> 00:04:22.000 cracks in the system where people are raising their hand 82 00:04:22.040 --> 00:04:24.720 and saying enough is enough, Elon Musk being one of them. 83 00:04:25.120 --> 00:04:26.199 And they'll get into that. 84 00:04:26.439 --> 00:04:33.160 There were private conversations right this weekend and after that 85 00:04:33.279 --> 00:04:37.000 as well. But whether it's whether it's the rumor that 86 00:04:37.079 --> 00:04:41.079 Trump may be pausing these tariffs or the rumor that 87 00:04:41.120 --> 00:04:44.160 seventy countries have come to the negotiating table, Like I said, 88 00:04:44.160 --> 00:04:46.199 it doesn't matter as long as a big one like 89 00:04:46.319 --> 00:04:49.639 China is not. In fact, China's moving the other way, 90 00:04:49.680 --> 00:04:52.199 which is troubling. But when you look at Wall Street, 91 00:04:52.800 --> 00:04:54.959 they're seeing the cracks in this as well. 92 00:04:55.079 --> 00:04:56.240 There is some relief. 93 00:04:56.360 --> 00:04:59.800 Stocks bouncing to recover a little bit today, S and 94 00:04:59.839 --> 00:05:02.519 p UP S and P five hundred up three point 95 00:05:02.560 --> 00:05:05.759 seven percent in morning trading. The bounce, by the way, 96 00:05:05.879 --> 00:05:10.240 was global as well. Stock indexes were up in Tokyo, Paris, Shanghai, 97 00:05:10.639 --> 00:05:14.040 so that's good. Crude oil bouncing back a little bit 98 00:05:14.160 --> 00:05:17.959 as well. The big question remains how long will this 99 00:05:18.079 --> 00:05:21.879 tariff nightmare end? How long will Trump stay in firm 100 00:05:21.920 --> 00:05:25.240 with this. Is it enough for other countries that are 101 00:05:25.240 --> 00:05:26.839 not China to come to the table. 102 00:05:27.199 --> 00:05:28.639 We're going to have to wait and see. 103 00:05:28.720 --> 00:05:33.000 And in terms of the ranking of each of these countries, 104 00:05:34.079 --> 00:05:40.439 will it take some of those mid level countries to capitulate. 105 00:05:40.759 --> 00:05:44.680 I guess to what we're demanding that China finally does 106 00:05:44.800 --> 00:05:46.720 get the sense of, well, if. 107 00:05:46.680 --> 00:05:49.879 China doesn't care, China does not care about these other countries. 108 00:05:49.600 --> 00:05:55.360 But if they if we impose restrictions on for example, 109 00:05:56.079 --> 00:05:59.319 we're not going to trade with Vietnam. If Vietnam continues 110 00:05:59.360 --> 00:06:04.319 to trade with China or some policy. 111 00:06:03.879 --> 00:06:04.800 Along those lines. 112 00:06:04.800 --> 00:06:06.199 I mean, I don't know how it works and when 113 00:06:06.199 --> 00:06:09.040 you get into secondary trading partners like that, but that's 114 00:06:09.040 --> 00:06:11.600 something that this president has already talked about. You do 115 00:06:11.720 --> 00:06:14.600 business with those guys Tara free, You're not going to 116 00:06:14.639 --> 00:06:16.199 be Tara free when you do business with us. 117 00:06:16.279 --> 00:06:17.759 Well, this is when everyone gets on the phone to 118 00:06:17.800 --> 00:06:18.279 their friends. 119 00:06:18.319 --> 00:06:20.959 That's why you saw Benjamin Netanyahu at the White House 120 00:06:21.040 --> 00:06:23.639 breaking bread in the Oval office with Donald Trump yesterday. 121 00:06:24.079 --> 00:06:26.160 China's doing the same thing with their friends, be a 122 00:06:26.240 --> 00:06:27.639 Vietnam or anybody else. 123 00:06:28.040 --> 00:06:29.759 So we'll see what happens. 124 00:06:29.759 --> 00:06:31.360 But as long as I mean, and I do want 125 00:06:31.360 --> 00:06:33.240 to get into what China has had to say in 126 00:06:33.279 --> 00:06:35.480 the past twenty four hours since we last talked about it, 127 00:06:36.279 --> 00:06:38.879 because that is I think that's what you're playing for here, 128 00:06:39.079 --> 00:06:42.079 and that's why you're hearing the President say it with 129 00:06:42.160 --> 00:06:44.480 even more emphasis China. 130 00:06:44.519 --> 00:06:47.639 He's pissed. He is pissed, and it shows. 131 00:06:48.120 --> 00:06:51.279 That story about I mentioned Peter Navarro, one of the advisors, 132 00:06:51.399 --> 00:06:54.759 and Elon muskoing after each other is interesting. 133 00:06:54.839 --> 00:06:55.199 It's good. 134 00:06:55.279 --> 00:06:57.600 It's a good story, and I don't know if the 135 00:06:57.639 --> 00:07:00.000 president likes it, he's got two people that are fighting 136 00:07:00.319 --> 00:07:01.439 for he loves it. 137 00:07:01.839 --> 00:07:02.560 He loves it. 138 00:07:02.920 --> 00:07:05.000 But if he doesn't have Musk on this tariff train, 139 00:07:05.360 --> 00:07:07.920 that's gonna be that's going to be a relationship issue. 140 00:07:07.959 --> 00:07:08.720 So we'll talk about that. 141 00:07:08.759 --> 00:07:12.439 This discussion between Elon Musk and Peter Navar about them gators, 142 00:07:12.959 --> 00:07:14.079 that's fine, good on them. 143 00:07:14.720 --> 00:07:15.639 I watch any of that. 144 00:07:15.839 --> 00:07:19.279 No, I didn't watch any of it. It's not football season. 145 00:07:19.920 --> 00:07:20.800 It's just not fair. 146 00:07:21.040 --> 00:07:23.959 And you know what, it's beginning to show. It's beginning 147 00:07:23.959 --> 00:07:25.759 to show that it's not football season in my life. 148 00:07:27.120 --> 00:07:31.879 How I need? You're taking care of yourself? Excuse me? 149 00:07:33.879 --> 00:07:36.879 I mean she's you know, she's got some time, she's running, 150 00:07:36.959 --> 00:07:37.920 she's working out. 151 00:07:38.959 --> 00:07:42.079 Oh my god, that was so accurate. Well, all right, 152 00:07:42.120 --> 00:07:43.439 Gary and Channa will reading. 153 00:07:43.519 --> 00:07:49.759 You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI 154 00:07:50.000 --> 00:07:51.560 AM six forty. 155 00:07:52.680 --> 00:07:54.279 I just got a text from one of my best 156 00:07:54.279 --> 00:08:00.680 friends group text here and she says, my CR what 157 00:08:00.720 --> 00:08:06.519 does that mean, chief Chief recruitment recruitment officer.

We'll talk about China a second. 274 00:13:25.960 --> 00:13:28.679 There is an update from the Supreme Court that just 275 00:13:28.720 --> 00:13:32.279 came in today. The court the Supreme Court handed yet 276 00:13:32.320 --> 00:13:38.279 another victory to the Trump administration, stopping a federal judge 277 00:13:38.279 --> 00:13:42.519 that required several federal agencies reinstate about sixteen thousand workers 278 00:13:42.559 --> 00:13:47.320 that the Trump administration's trying to fire. The decision to 279 00:13:47.320 --> 00:13:51.360 grant the administration's request means these the federal government does 280 00:13:51.519 --> 00:13:54.200 not have to take any steps to bring back some 281 00:13:54.279 --> 00:13:57.279 of those workers who were laid off while their litigation 282 00:13:57.440 --> 00:14:00.919 moves forward before the federal judge that's out here in California. 283 00:14:00.919 --> 00:14:05.200 Apparently this was a seven to two decision. The only. 284 00:14:07.600 --> 00:14:10.879 The only two or at least two that actually said 285 00:14:10.919 --> 00:14:11.600 they dissented. 286 00:14:11.639 --> 00:14:13.240 This was an unsigned decision. 287 00:14:13.639 --> 00:14:17.000 So Sonya sotomayor Ka Tanji Brown Jackson were two who 288 00:14:17.080 --> 00:14:18.159 noted that they dissented. 289 00:14:18.360 --> 00:14:21.080 Here's a fun exercise to go through reading the news 290 00:14:21.159 --> 00:14:25.559 every morning. Is the headlines where they say President Trump 291 00:14:25.639 --> 00:14:28.480 secured a major victory at the Supreme Court, and then 292 00:14:28.480 --> 00:14:31.320 you go to another publication President Trump at a major 293 00:14:31.360 --> 00:14:32.600 setback of the Supreme Court. 294 00:14:33.000 --> 00:14:35.279 It's a fascinating exercise. 295 00:14:34.840 --> 00:14:38.000 Just to see how they exactly just keep an open mind. 296 00:14:38.039 --> 00:14:39.720 Reading the news every morning is all I'm saying. 297 00:14:39.759 --> 00:14:42.720 All right, the Elon Musk this direct appeals to Trump 298 00:14:42.840 --> 00:14:45.879 to reverse the tariffs, his fight with Peter Navarro, and 299 00:14:46.039 --> 00:14:49.159 why China is the number one target in all of this. 300 00:14:49.399 --> 00:14:52.600 Yeah, you think you think Trump is standing his ground 301 00:14:52.639 --> 00:14:54.759 and he's tough when it comes to China, Meet Chi 302 00:14:54.840 --> 00:14:58.960 Jinping because he's carbon copy, carbon copy. 303 00:14:59.000 --> 00:15:01.000 These two are not going to back down. 304 00:15:02.399 --> 00:15:05.879 You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI 305 00:15:06.080 --> 00:15:07.320 AM six forty. 306 00:15:08.759 --> 00:15:12.799 Garyan Shannon KFI AM six forty Live everywhere on the 307 00:15:12.919 --> 00:15:15.559 iHeartRadio app. One of the big developments that we saw 308 00:15:15.600 --> 00:15:18.399 from yesterday was President Trump made the announcement that the 309 00:15:18.480 --> 00:15:21.759 United States in Iran are going to have some sort 310 00:15:21.759 --> 00:15:25.840 of nuclear talks. President Trump said the meetings that begin 311 00:15:25.919 --> 00:15:29.879 on Saturday would involve direct negotiations between high level US 312 00:15:29.879 --> 00:15:34.080 and Iranian officials. Iran's foreign minister, however, says they will 313 00:15:34.120 --> 00:15:37.120 be indirect talks taking place in Oman. 314 00:15:37.480 --> 00:15:39.919 Just devastation and the Dominican Republic. 315 00:15:40.240 --> 00:15:44.320 Twenty seven people killed right now, but the rescue effort continues. 316 00:15:45.159 --> 00:15:46.279 I don't know if you heard. 317 00:15:46.120 --> 00:15:50.240 About it, but a roof collapsed at a big deal nightclub. 318 00:15:50.600 --> 00:15:54.960 This is a place politicians and athletes, everyone goes. It's 319 00:15:55.000 --> 00:15:59.240 a merangue concert last night and it's called the jet 320 00:15:59.279 --> 00:16:03.840 Set Nightclub in Santa Domingo. And nearly twelve hours after 321 00:16:03.879 --> 00:16:07.480 that club collapse down on to the people. Rescue crews 322 00:16:07.480 --> 00:16:10.159 are still pulling out survivors, but you know, it's a 323 00:16:10.200 --> 00:16:14.120 race against the clock. But they are going through broken 324 00:16:14.679 --> 00:16:18.200 concrete and wood. They're using that as planks to lift 325 00:16:18.240 --> 00:16:22.080 heavy debris. Noise of drills is all you can really 326 00:16:22.120 --> 00:16:26.279 hear from the scene, but it was It's just a 327 00:16:26.320 --> 00:16:32.480 sheer tragedy. The governor of the area and the sister 328 00:16:33.120 --> 00:16:35.960 of seven time Major League Baseball All Star Nelson Cruz, 329 00:16:36.039 --> 00:16:37.000 was among the victims. 330 00:16:37.080 --> 00:16:37.840 Nelsi Cruz. 331 00:16:38.759 --> 00:16:42.240 Octavio d'hotel, a former pitcher for the Cardinals, was also 332 00:16:42.320 --> 00:16:44.960 said to be trapped in there. But was still alive, 333 00:16:45.840 --> 00:16:50.679 so there may be some other recognizable names as that continues. Well, 334 00:16:50.679 --> 00:16:56.000 we're talking about the continuing aftermath from the trade tariffs 335 00:16:56.120 --> 00:16:59.759 that have been imposed by the United States. We saw good, 336 00:17:00.159 --> 00:17:04.279 significant rebound in stock prices around the world. Actually, the 337 00:17:04.359 --> 00:17:07.000 Dow is up about five hundred points right now, SMP 338 00:17:07.119 --> 00:17:10.240 five hundred, Nasdaq also up. Gold has rebounded quite a bit, 339 00:17:10.279 --> 00:17:14.359 oil has rebounded off of its lows from yesterday. And 340 00:17:14.599 --> 00:17:17.960 one of the issues that has cropped up is there 341 00:17:18.039 --> 00:17:21.039 is some dissension in the ranks. There are some Republicans 342 00:17:21.319 --> 00:17:24.920 very close to the president who disagree with the way 343 00:17:25.000 --> 00:17:28.000 things are going. In fact, the Washington Post today says 344 00:17:28.000 --> 00:17:33.680 that Elon Musk has asked specifically President Trump to reverse 345 00:17:33.960 --> 00:17:38.079 these trade tariffs. Now, he clearly this is not his 346 00:17:38.240 --> 00:17:41.039 lane in that that's not why he was brought on 347 00:17:41.160 --> 00:17:44.720 as an advisor. His advisory role for the president, at 348 00:17:44.799 --> 00:17:47.759 least in this administration so far has been to head 349 00:17:47.839 --> 00:17:50.519 up DOGE and to go after waste, fraud and abuse 350 00:17:50.559 --> 00:17:52.359 that they find within the federal government. 351 00:17:52.359 --> 00:17:56.680 But you cannot separate the businessman from the move fast 352 00:17:56.680 --> 00:17:57.480 and break things guy. 353 00:17:57.680 --> 00:18:00.480 He's clearly got an opinion on something like this now. 354 00:18:00.640 --> 00:18:05.119 So he's going out. He has gone after specifically Peter Navarro, 355 00:18:05.279 --> 00:18:09.440 the trade advisor to President Trump, because Peter Navarro, among 356 00:18:09.559 --> 00:18:12.759 other things, was held up as a as an expert 357 00:18:12.799 --> 00:18:14.960 on all of this. He has a degree from Harvard, 358 00:18:15.480 --> 00:18:18.599 although Elon Musk said the degree from Harvard is not 359 00:18:18.680 --> 00:18:20.839 a good thing, it's a bad thing. So then Peter 360 00:18:20.960 --> 00:18:25.119 Navarro goes on CNBC yesterday and kind of pushes back 361 00:18:25.160 --> 00:18:27.960 against Elon Musk and says, well, he doesn't really know 362 00:18:28.000 --> 00:18:29.160 exactly what he's talking about. 363 00:18:29.200 --> 00:18:32.119 Have you spoken to him, No, but we'll speak. I'll 364 00:18:32.119 --> 00:18:34.279 probably see him today in the OVA. It's no big deal. 365 00:18:34.680 --> 00:18:41.480 Here's the thing. It's like, Look, Elon Musk and his 366 00:18:41.839 --> 00:18:45.640 Doge team is making a contribution to America in terms 367 00:18:45.680 --> 00:18:47.920 of waste, fraud, and abuse, and that's a very good 368 00:18:47.960 --> 00:18:50.200 thing for this country and the American people. But he's 369 00:18:50.200 --> 00:18:53.559 not a car manufacturer. He's a car assembler. In many cases, 370 00:18:53.559 --> 00:18:56.440 if you go to his Texas plan, A good part 371 00:18:57.000 --> 00:19:00.519 of the engines that that he gets, which in the 372 00:19:00.720 --> 00:19:04.039 EV case is the batteries come from Japan's true and 373 00:19:04.079 --> 00:19:09.400 come from China. CEOs come from the tires. 374 00:19:09.440 --> 00:19:13.200 He's right, and that's the thing people like Elon Musk. Yes, 375 00:19:13.319 --> 00:19:16.960 they make things here, they send them to places like 376 00:19:17.119 --> 00:19:20.200 China and Japan and Vietnam and there like economically. 377 00:19:21.160 --> 00:19:21.640 It is. 378 00:19:22.640 --> 00:19:26.359 But and then Elon Musk goes on to say, after 379 00:19:26.400 --> 00:19:30.759 that CNBC appearance by Navarro, Navarro is truly a moron, 380 00:19:31.440 --> 00:19:35.000 dumber than a sack of bricks, and then following up 381 00:19:35.000 --> 00:19:37.839 by defending Tesla, he said it's the most vertically integrated 382 00:19:37.839 --> 00:19:41.960 auto manufacturer in America with the highest percentage of US content. 383 00:19:42.240 --> 00:19:45.119 I mean Navarro does not is running a foul a 384 00:19:45.160 --> 00:19:47.880 little bit by saying because he's opening up the conversation 385 00:19:48.000 --> 00:19:50.359 now I'm opening it up because he says he's a 386 00:19:50.400 --> 00:19:54.920 car assembler, not a manufacturer. Musk like him himself to 387 00:19:55.000 --> 00:19:58.240 a manufacturer. Very different things. And there's a lot of 388 00:19:58.279 --> 00:20:00.799 people who do business in America say that they are 389 00:20:00.799 --> 00:20:02.880 manufacturers and they manufacture in America. 390 00:20:02.920 --> 00:20:03.319 They do not. 391 00:20:03.440 --> 00:20:06.279 They put the stuff together in America, which is great, 392 00:20:06.480 --> 00:20:08.519 but you're still sending it out to the other countries. 393 00:20:08.559 --> 00:20:11.480 But it's not the definition of from one hundred years ago. 394 00:20:11.559 --> 00:20:14.319 Yeah, let's not pretend it's one hundred percent American made here. 395 00:20:15.400 --> 00:20:16.079 But go ahead. 396 00:20:16.160 --> 00:20:18.759 The twenty five percent tariff auto tariff that went into 397 00:20:18.759 --> 00:20:21.559 effect at the beginning of the month is part of 398 00:20:21.599 --> 00:20:25.000 the larger trade war, and there was some concern that 399 00:20:25.200 --> 00:20:29.839 we we sorry that Tesla would take a hit because 400 00:20:29.880 --> 00:20:33.079 of the global market route. The company stockfel nineteen percent 401 00:20:33.279 --> 00:20:36.400
