oh four seven in Washington, d C. We'd love to
have you join us live in the morning, even take
us along on the drive to work. But better late
(00:22):
than never. Enjoyed the podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
Two three starting your morning off right, A new way
of talk, a new way of understanding because we're in
the stigold. This is your morning show with Michael O'Dell.
Speaker 3 (00:39):
Chornan well before they physically harmed him and abused him.
Puts a tony phil size shadows. So six more weeks
of winter at you Beat.
Speaker 4 (00:49):
Updated seven minutes after the hour. Welcome to February the
third Monday. Thanks for waking up with your morning show
on the air and streaming live on your iHeartRadio app.
Who was the talkback? It was about if the Democrats
have a better idea, they should speak up. I mean,
nobody should be for status quo. Thirty six trillion in debt,
(01:11):
that's why. I want to start with which one was it?
It was Gabe. Gabe. Let's start with Gabe.
Speaker 5 (01:15):
So I'm thinking these tariffs far. The plan behind it is,
if we got to spend more on't boarder goods, why
wouldn't we buy America goods? Right?
Speaker 4 (01:29):
I think that's part of the all of the above,
Not Big John, but the other one I believe that
is Roger. Would they would they come back? Oh Roger? Okay, Hey,
just a little follow up on the tariff talk.
Speaker 6 (01:44):
I like how these politicians that are against it just
come out and say, no, we just want what's going
on currently. If these guys have a better idea, I
would love to hear it, because we got.
Speaker 4 (01:55):
To do something. You know, I never see Roger in
Red or the guy from the Dunk Donuts commercial with
the semis in the same place that the same Oh
it does sound like red, doesn't he h? Yeah, No,
that's a that is a certain point. Look, I think
I think it's all of the above. I think from
a national security standpoint, the President's disgusted and by the way,
(02:17):
I was I talked earlier about this. This husband and
wife from Canada that do reviews of vehicles and they
were discussing this issue, and the wife was like, look,
first of all, we need to be addressing our ports
in the borders for our own national security in terms
of drugs and terrorism. We should be doing this anyway,
(02:38):
And if that's what Donald Trump is wanting, then let's
stop going down this painful road of tariff threats. And
I do think it's about the border. I do think.
I am one of the few people that have said
I think ultimately the president knows China's plan is to
build cheap evs in Mexico and flood the market with
(03:01):
them right over our border. I think that's what he's blocking.
But I do think it's all of the above. I
think he's wanting to readdress this trade agreement. I think
he's wanting to address national security and what they've allowed
at the border in terms of drugs and terrorism and
dangerous people entering our country. And I do think the
(03:22):
push is to buy American and stop sending these countries
that are taking advantage of US billions and billions of
our dollars. Now, it's going to create some pain and
his American I can understand that pain. And I will
say this and go back to my analogy of the
husband and wife that review cars, and they will tell
you from Canada, very few vehicles will be affected by this.
(03:45):
There's only about I think three models that are actually
manufactured in Canada, and they're not ones on the top
of your list. And as far as buying American, that's
not painful anymore. Go look at all the ratings on reliability.
Ram is number one. Chevy is right there and many
(04:07):
believe it'll take over the number one spot when the
three year report comes out. Buick is right there. We're
making some of the best cars. If you're going to
have the conversation about vehicles, I'm wrong with buying American,
and go by where it's assembled. I know there's some
parts that are mingled. Mexico and Canada have a lot
(04:29):
to lose and both can make it painful for us.
So let's get to what we're really trying to negotiate,
sooner or the better. And then we went over the
president's approval ratings and they're very high. That's January. If
America starts feeling I cost on produce, I cost on
gas heating because winter isn't over. Remember the groundhog sawe
(04:52):
shadow it could get a little painful. How will that
affect him? That's why we asked the Republican consultant, Scott
Chris Walker to join us. I think they talk about
Canada being a fifty first state is a little antagonistic.
How much of this is something I brought up earlier
because we had one of our listeners as a Channon
or Sharon, forgive me whichever it is. I think it's
(05:14):
Sharon from Ottawa say he really even should shouldn't even
bother talking to Trudeau, just wait and talk to Pierre. Well,
that election is until October. But then again, this could
be helping make sure Pierre wins in October, this little
fight depending on how Canada views it. I mean, what
do you think Donald Trump's up to and is this
going to be smart or risky?
Speaker 5 (05:37):
More than Michael, you know, obviously, I think Trump's very smart.
I think he obviously plays a very big chessboard. So
I'll give him the benefit.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
Of doubt on some of this.
Speaker 5 (05:49):
You know, Ultimately, I think it's as simple as your
first call. That guy was President Trump's first priority is America.
For President Trump's first priority is American workers, an American
job than you know, the idea of buying American is
more important to him than buying you know, China, though.
You know, creating an environment where it's easier and cheaper
(06:10):
for folks to buy American is something that is you know,
isn't that positive and creating, you know, upending the idea
that somehow America has to be the credit card for
the rest of the world. It's kind of changing it.
Speaker 4 (06:22):
You know.
Speaker 5 (06:22):
Trump is about wealth creation and wealth generation, and you know,
finding people coming in and paying tariffs to do business
with the United States. Taxing, taxing other countries rather than
ourselves is a pathway towards prosperity. That is the vision
that he is trying to cast to in terms of
policies he's trying to enact.
Speaker 4 (06:41):
It's interesting because you know, the temporary impact and even
the President was warning of this could be higher, especially
produced from Mexico, especially crude from Canada. Most of that
crewds you've used for home heating, a little bit for
jet fuel, and a lot for for shipping. So you
(07:03):
might see gas prices go up, and I think they've
already begun two dollars a barrel. But in the long run,
if you want to impact inflation and cost of living.
You've got to manufacture more. You've got to create more
and sell more and pay workers to build more. That's
how you ultimately address it. And this would do that.
So I think it's to me, it's all how he
(07:25):
explains it, and is he the right one to explain it,
or is JD More the right one to explain it
or all of the above. That's the difference between. It's
smart no matter what. But that's that's what would address
the risky, right.
Speaker 5 (07:39):
I mean, I think it's all the above for sure
in terms of explanation. And you've got Robert Leithheiser, You've
got JD. You've got Marco Rubio, You've got you know,
a lot of people within the Republican Party and conservative
sphere that's trying to change the conversation. Look like we'd
been at one hundred years plus of this kind of
you know, open trade situation that where a lot of
(08:01):
countries over the last particularly thirty years to take an
advantage of the United States, according to President Trump, and
so in a way, you know, trying to rebalance that
and trying to take control of our own destiny and
trying to create an environment where Americans are first rather
than you know, everyone else. I think is just going
to take some time and some change. And obviously there's
going to be people who have been very very much
(08:25):
you know, accolytes to the idea of free trade forever
is you know, it's going to change. And you know,
look like one thing that do thing is important. I
can't remember who who heard this from, but you know,
if goods don't cross borders, soldiers usually do. And so,
you know, I think trade creates positive and you know,
relationships with our neighbors, positive relationships with our countries, which
(08:47):
is a good thing to do. A pro business, pro
trade country is a friend, not a not an adversary.
And so you know, we're in a little bit of
a you know, kind of a noise phase right now
with Canada and other trying to push back on some
terrif ideas, and I think that will subside over time.
But the true goal here is to continue to foster
good relationships with our friends and our neighbors, because we
(09:08):
need more allies than non allies in the world.
Speaker 4 (09:10):
Would it make sense that Trudeau would get pressure from
the liberal portion of his party to not let this
go too far because it could tip the balance of
already a balance that's looking pretty favorable at a conservative opponent.
How much of this has to do with, you know,
the shift in politics in Canada. How much this has
(09:31):
to do with a new trade agreement with Mexico and Canada.
How much of it has to do with buy American
and manufacture in America. I mean, it's just one big
all the above, right, And I think I think Donald
Trump has got a lot of leverage because you can
create some pain I'm produced from Mexico and some on
crude from Canada, but not nearly the pain you can
(09:52):
create for them, right, that's right.
Speaker 5 (09:55):
I mean we're Canada relies on twenty six percent. I
think of their goods come from the United States. I
think less than one one point two percent comes from
Canada to US. I mean, you know, the numbers are
a little different because we obviously have much higher GDP.
But at the end of the day, you know, Canada
will feel this a lot more than the United States will.
But you know, to answer your question, I never underestimate
(10:18):
a liberal politician's ability to screw things up, irrespective of
whether or not they're in Canada, the United States I've
seen a lot of crazy ideas coming out of Canada
over the last year in response to things Donald Trump said,
Rather than having a sober, you know, thoughtful response, a
lot of times these guys just go to crazytown. And
(10:38):
so we're not surprised to Trudeau also goes to follows
them right off the cliff to crazytown.
Speaker 4 (10:43):
It just seems to be in their nature. All right.
We're visiting with Chris Walker, republican consultant and analyst and
weekly contributor here on your morning show for the president.
Were you shot? We were looking at the approval ratings.
This president's strongest approval ratings are younger. The younger you go,
the higher the approval, and it doesn't get even until
(11:04):
you get to sixty plus. So when you're looking at
eighteen to twenty nine year olds, forty six percent approve
of the job the president's been doing. This is as
of January, thirty eight percent disapprove, thirty to thirty nine,
forty seven percent approve, thirty nine disapprove, forty to forty nine,
forty nine to thirty eight percent, fifty to fifty nine,
fifty two to thirty four percent. But then when you
get older sixty to sixty nine forty nine forty eight
(11:26):
seventy plus forty nine percent disapproval forty eight percent approval.
Since well, hey, to me, it screams, this has been
an Orange wave, not a red wave, a Trump victory,
not a Republican Party victory, and he's now doing better
with younger and worse with older. How different does that
(11:46):
look from the past.
Speaker 5 (11:49):
Well, I mean, let's if you're the majority of your
post schooling life has been Joe Biden's America, you know
he certainly would be rushing towards a different opinion too. So,
I mean, it does not surprise me to see that
the gen z and younger folks are gravitating from shortwards
Trump because the liberalism and the failures of the Biden administration.
Speaker 4 (12:10):
Have hurt the young the worst.
Speaker 5 (12:11):
I mean, you know, the older generations have houses and
have have lived a quality of life that have generally
been fine, and so they're a little happier than you know,
the younger folks who felt a failed promise from what
they've seen from liberalism.
Speaker 4 (12:26):
So let me, let me, let me just interrupt and
ask this real quick. How much of this has to
do with well, twofold one you and doctrinate kids from
K through twelve and then at higher education than with
every music and every movie and every actor and every show.
So you get Hollywood, the intelligentsia, let alone parents with
all this woke stuff that they think is crazy. And
(12:47):
then couple that with the loss of the dream of
being able to afford a home someday. That might explain
these numbers huge.
Speaker 5 (12:55):
Absolutely. I mean again, we have a we have a
failure of institutions, we have a failure of ideology, we
have a failure of education for these kids.
Speaker 4 (13:06):
Let's not forget.
Speaker 5 (13:06):
These are the kids that grew up in COVID and
saw the disaster of the global health establishment trying to
force masks on them for ten years. You know, this
is that is that is that is their their their
defining moment. So of course they would embrace freedom an
opportunity coming from President Trump versus the you know, the
ball and chain of a Biden administration in liberalism that
(13:29):
wants people to live to live in a box throle.
Speaker 4 (13:31):
But this is a perception Trump bones not necessarily the
Republican Party. As for Democrats, when asked, thirty one percent
view the Democrat party favorably, fifty seven percent view it unfavorably. Wow.
And have they learned I mean anything yet?
Speaker 5 (13:51):
Well, judging by the DNC, you know, no, they you know,
kumbaya auting we saw this weekend. I don't think they've
learned what I hope they don't they continue down this path,
but you know, they clearly they're going to have to
figure out something to to try to kind of communicate
to folks who have rejected their their worldview and rightfully so,
(14:14):
the world's use terrible and so that's that's a necessary
change that needs to continue to happen with amongst younger
generation of individuals.
Speaker 4 (14:22):
That and the other question is is the Republicans learned
that this is a Trump perception reality, not their party reality,
and they got to make it their party reality. And
they got about two years to accomplish that or both
parties there.
Speaker 5 (14:34):
I mean, I've not been more impressed with JD. Vance.
I mean it continued to be impressed by what he
does and media interviews and everything else. I think JD
is a is a true great voice for President Trump.
And I think as we continue to see this administration
grow and flourish, you know, the future looks bright there too.
Speaker 4 (14:51):
Yeah, and I think it hands off to the Republicans.
It should anyway comfortably. All right, we appreciate it. We'll
talk again next Monday or sooner if conditions weren't. Republicans
out in an analyst and your Morning Show contributor, Chris Walker,
thanks for your time.
Speaker 2 (15:04):

Michael del Jorona. Jeffrey's got control of the sounds. Red's
got control of what's left of his ego. After being
compared to a Duncan Donuts spokesperson in nineteen well it
(17:42):
turned out to be the eighties, as one critical listener
called up to remind us a lot of critical listeners today,
have you noticed that? Well, yeah, but listen, are they
not entertained? There's here's that, here's that at the time.
Are you not attained on up? If you're just waking up.
I know, after the weekend, you're probably wondering what's the
(18:03):
latest on both crash sites, the news out of DC.
And again it was a very, very long and frustrating
news conference Saturday night because I think the NTSB is
trying to be very transparent and give you the very
latest information they know, because so many people have been
touched by this crash. Normally you don't know anything for
(18:23):
a month, You get a preliminary investigative report, and then
you don't get conclusive findings for anywhere up to a
year or longer. So I think rushing things a bit
put them in this moment. But they did retrieve the
black boxes from the plane. That's number one, both of them,
number two, and yes, before anybody critically calls and says
(18:44):
they're orange, I get their orange, but they still call
them black boxes. It turns out this black Hawk had
a black box and they did retrieve it. It was
to take on some water. That's not a big deal.
They have a process in which they get that out
and they'll get the information. But Saturday night, preliminarily they
were telling you the black box from the American Airlines
(19:05):
flight showed the plane at three hundred and twenty five
feet give or take twenty five, so it could have
been three fifty, could have been three hundred, but some
we're in that range.
Speaker 5 (19:15):
Now.
Speaker 4 (19:16):
The radar, not the black box from the black Hawk,
but the radar in the tower showed the black Hawk
at two hundred feet, So the question becomes by the discrepancy,
which is more accurate as best I could tell from
the NTSB lead on this, The black box on the
plane is accurate. So the plane was at three hundred
(19:39):
and twenty five feet give or take twenty five plus
or minus. The Blackhawk altitude is coming from the sweep
in the tower, and it hasn't been refined and further defined.
Number one, number two. It's a sweep, so where it
was in its sweep. So the indication along and the
(20:01):
short from most of the experts, is that the chopper
was at two hundred feet, But did it rise or
was the plane lower than the black box indicates, And
the likelihood is that the chopper had been rising and
the sweep, whether it's four seconds sixteen seconds, hadn't come
(20:21):
around yet. Obviously they were at the same altitude to collide,
so that will all come out in further information. So
that's number one, and then there's so many things that
people have long conversations about. Is it I still think
there's something about switching to runway thirty three that I don't.
(20:42):
I mean that speaks to the staffing size, that there
was only five people in the tower, and that one
person was handling both the helicopters, which is the UAHF
channels and then the VHS channels, you know both, And
was there any communications? Now, originally when they would play audio,
you would hear the tower ask them if they had
(21:04):
the aircraft in sight, and then there was no response.
That's because the response came on a different frequency than
the one that went out, but the chopper did respond.
So if the chopper ends up at three three hundred
and twenty five feet somewhere in that range to make contact,
it obviously rose. So that's kind of where everything is.
(21:27):
So the big thing to look forward today and in
the coming days is to start getting a more defined
data from the tower and then get the black box
data from the Blackhawk. Then we can compare that with
the black box data from the American Airlines flight. Then
we have fifty five of the sixty seven bodies that
have been recovered. Today's a big day. They started at
sunrise taking debris out and the optimism is that the
(21:52):
other twelve bodies will be collected during this process, and
the sooner the better for the families. So that's kind
of the latest on that. In the Philadelphia investigation, you know,
it sure does scream that something happened on that plane.
(22:12):
So it takes off, it's only in the year thirty seconds,
it gets to fifteen hundred feet and then boom straight down.
There have been reports that it appeared to be on
fire as it was coming to the ground. Maybe there
was an explosion. We can tell you this. There were
no responses. They were all Mexican nationals. It was a
pediatric procedure that was done and they were returning to Mexico.
(22:34):
I think by way of Kansas City, or at least
that was a preliminary report because of the lear capability.
So the assumption is that was going to Kansas City
and Kansasity back to Mexico. There was no response to
the tower, so that would indicate some questions about the pilots.
Were they even conscious thirty seconds into the flight? Was
(22:57):
there an explosion of some type. Was there a fire
of some type. There were many many videos that surfaced.
Some I will tell you you couldn't tell. It looked
like it was on fire, or it could have been light.
There were others where there wasn't that, and it didn't
appear to be on fire at all. But it did
appear that no one was operating the plane and that
(23:19):
it was accelerating, not just from gravity, but you could
hear the engine roar as if somebody you know, may
have lost consciousness with it. Way too early to know.
All we know, goes up fifteen hundred feet, comes straight down.
The black box has been recovered. It was found eight
feet underground. To give you just I mean the impact
(23:45):
for the black box to be eight feet underground and
it crashed into cement. So in Philadelphia we have the
six on board dead and one on the ground reported dead.
At this point, black box has been recovered. So that's
the latest on those two. Got to pulls the plenty.
There was one on a forty three percent approval of
Biden's pardon of Fauci. I found that interesting. Half of
(24:11):
America disapproves of this, So I don't know that I
would have led with three percent approve as much as
the majority of America disapproves should have been the headline
of this Thirty eight percent strongly disapprove former President Joe
(24:33):
Biden's decision to give Fauci a full and unconditional pre
Barden pre pardon. Again, we don't even know if this
is constitutional, if it would stand up constitutionally, the fact
that it's dated back to twenty fourteen. Now you're getting
into gain a function. Now you're getting into the beginning,
the beginning phases of not just the development in the
(24:56):
Wuhan lab, but also the mr NA technology that they
were trying to push of which he stood to gain
personally and as a family. So, look, a virus that
took the lives of this many Americans should be looked
(25:21):
at in depth. And there's most people that see a
pre unconditional pardon of any crimes dating back to twenty
fourteen as an admittance of a crime that was certainly
known and committed beginning in twenty fourteen. We'll see how
that plays out. The last poll was forty three percent
(25:44):
of likely US voters approved of Biden's handling. Twenty seven
percent strongly approved compare that to forty eight percent of
disapprove in thirty eight that strongly disapproved the other ones
on the immigration rates. And I know this bothers a
lot of people, the majority of America. Despite you know,
we had an incident where somebody made a comment concerning
(26:05):
kids at school being afraid that by the time school's
over that when they get home, you know, their parents
might not be there. At this point, the only people
being rounded up and deported are most virtually all of
them are people that have committed felony crimes. They're gang members,
they're proven criminals. Just not picking up everybody yet. But
(26:26):
at this point there's an eighteen point margin. Fifty seven
percent of America approves of the immigration rates, thirty nine
percent disapprove. That's nearly a mandate majority. But I mean,
fifty seven thirty nine is a huge majority. I mean,
there's not much we agree on in America anymore. America
(26:48):
is taking a very reasonable look at Donald Trump's handling
of securing the border, stopping the bleeding, weeding out the
most dangerous proven criminals beyond the crime of breaking into
the country and returning them or putting them at Guantanamo Bay.
Fifty seven percent of likely voters approof of the raid,
(27:09):
thirty eight percent strongly, thirty nine percent disapproved, twenty four
strongly disapprove, so thirty eight to twenty four twelve point
on the strong passionate, agree to disagree, and overall fifty
seven to thirty nine. Now, it'll be interesting to see
how this plays out in the future when we look
at overall support for the president in January, forty six
(27:30):
percent approve, thirty eight disapprove eighteen to twenty nine. Donald
Trump's doing well with young people thirty to thirty nine.
Forty seven percent approve, thirty nine disapprove forty to forty nine.
Forty nine percent approved, thirty eight disapprove, fifty to fifty
nine to fifty two percent approve, thirty four percent disapproved.
Fifty to fifty nine is the numeral uno sweet spot,
(27:53):
and for eighteen to twenty nine year olds to be
plus ten percent. Virtually that's unheard of for a Republican.
Some are alongline, not Republicans, but Donald Trump is captured
youth support. When you get older sixty to sixty nine,
it's a one point advantage in support forty nine to
forty eight for Trump. And when you go seventy plus,
(28:14):
it's negative one, forty nine disapproved, forty eight uproof. And
then the big question of the day is and then
how does all that look a month or two from
now if these tariffs in this negotiation process continues to
result in higher cost of living? Is America willing to
hurt a little and pay a little more, whether it's
produce gasoline in order to do something that's a real
(28:37):
solution down the road. Some of that's messaging and some
of that is perceptions of the American people. But heading
into February before the tariffs, these numbers couldn't be stronger
for the president. And you know the historic low numbers
Biden left with, and that's your polls of plenty sounds
the day we had earlier today, because you know, we
(28:58):
had this one last poll that shows a negative view
of the Democrat Party fifty seven percent view the Democrat
Party unfavorably, thirty one percent favorably. The Democrat Party itself
is upside down twenty six percent. That's huge. And have
(29:21):
they learned anything from their mistakes, whether it's majoring in
minor issues, ignoring the big issues, meddling and disrespecting their
voters in the primary process. Well, if anybody watched the
DNC chair forum this weekend, the answer is no, they
have not, and they plan to continue to meddle, continue
with wokeness, continue to major in minors. I said five
(29:47):
years ago people thought I was crazy. One or both
parties will be gone by the end of the decade.
One's sure looking like it based on the outcome of
this election and these favorability numbers if they don't change,
and change soon.
Speaker 2 (30:04):
This is your Morning Show with Michael del Chrono.
Speaker 4 (30:08):
Obviously we've covered a lot this morning. The Grammys. We
explored whether I'm just getting old or their act is
getting old? More about shock and outrage than really talent,
And in this day where the only thing left shocking
life is the truth is really not much. So you
showed up with your wife naked. Okay, So the new
Artist of the Year has a rapunzel hat on, is
(30:30):
dressed like graggedy ann All right, but does anybody talented?
Does anybody have anything to say? Is there been any
great music this year? And did the Grammys help sell that?
Not so certain? We also talked about the DC and
Philly crash, investigations. Plus, have the Democrats learned anything from
their big loss in twenty twenty four? After watching the
DNC forums, it doesn't appear so. And finally, tariffs could
(30:50):
lead to some pain, but is it worth it to
achieve the ultimate economic solutions? That was an hour three?
All three hours are available in the podcast section of
your iHeartRadio app. Just search Michael Dell Journal or your
Morning Show. By the way, when you find it, get
subscribe that way. It's waiting for you every morning, because
sometimes if you miss a little, you miss a lot.
All Right, we're talking about the tariffs. The presidents signed
(31:11):
them on Saturday. I believe they go in effect tomorrow.
What are we looking at here? If this plays out
and plays out for a great length of time, how
much can we expect to pay an increase prices? Rory
O'Neill is back with the details and the story. Good morning, Rory,
Hey there, Michael, good morning. Yeah.
Speaker 7 (31:30):
And it's tough to figure out exactly when we might
start to feel the pinch. I think at the supermarket first,
and the vegetable aisles and the fruit stile because a
lot of that obviously is much more time sensitive than say,
lumber from Canada.
Speaker 4 (31:44):
Right, Well, and then you know we're towards the mean
bocks of Tony phil Saw's shadows, so six more weeks
of winter, but we're at the tail end of that.
A lot of that crude that comes, and it's about
a million barrels a day or more, I think from Canada.
A lot of that is used for home heating oil.
Some of that is used for aviation fuel, some of
that is used for shipping fuel, but a good majority
(32:07):
of it is what we use. That type of crude
is for home heating. That won't really be affected unless
this is still going on a year from now, right
and we drill more, process more, refine more. Some question
whether that's possible already maybe at maximum lens. And then
the automobile. I delved into that over the weekend just
to take a peek because I saw online somebody asked
(32:27):
the question, well, will this create you know, a greater
expense for new vehicles, so people will turn to pre
owned vehicles and then you'll start having a shortage and
they'll drive up pre owned vehicle prices. Well know that,
and there really isn't that. But he makes the models
that come out of Canada. I don't see this as
an automotive story, but I do see it as a
Mexican produce story, and I see it as a crude
(32:49):
oil story, don't you.
Speaker 7 (32:51):
Well, if a lot of the parts come from Mexico
and Canada, is sort of the problem or they're assembled
in one or the other, and it gets a little
bit great and difficult to track. It's not as like,
it's not as easy as saying, well, it's made in
Detroit from lockstock and barrel.
Speaker 5 (33:07):
Is that.
Speaker 4 (33:07):
No, this stuff is coming in from all over the world.
Speaker 5 (33:09):
And.
Speaker 7 (33:10):
So cars, because they're so complicated, that is a bit
more difficult to track. Whereas you know, an avocado, we
can see that avocado prices are probably gonna.
Speaker 4 (33:20):
Be going up. You know, the big question has always
been what do people think this is a you know,
what is Donald Trump's end game and play on this.
It could be to relook at the Canadian American Mexican
trade agreements. It could be over border security and poorest
borders that they have not done more to help us
protect or even protect their own country with you get
(33:43):
a made in America putting America first. I mean, we've
done the laundry list of the brainstorm and then sometimes
it's just all the above, but you get a sense
it's a negotiation. Does that negotiation begin today with the
talks with Canadian Mexican leaders?
Speaker 7 (33:55):
Yeah, I suppose, just trying to figure out what the
endgame here is and what's he try to get out
of this. I mean, I know he's pointing to to
we subsidize Canada two hundred billion dollars a year and
blah blah blah. Well, look, Canada's got forty million people.
We've got three hundred and forty million people. Yeah, we're
going to buy more of their stuff from them versus
the other way around. So a lot of that trade
(34:16):
imbalanced talk doesn't really land. And then fentanyl. I think
the US sends more fentanyl into Canada than the other
way around.
Speaker 4 (34:24):
So you know, I'm not sure really what this is
all about. Well, time will tell. But the key, the
key to the issue is how long it lasts. He's
not gonnaeel anything unless it lasts for a long period
of time. Hopefully this is a negotiation, and hopefully it's
one that's going to be resolved. Certainly, all parties have
skin in the game, that's for sure, very good reporting.
We'll talk again tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (34:44):
We're all in this together. This is Your Morning Show
