Speaker 1 (00:05):
Well, Mindy's on location yet again, because you know what,
we're making a point if she need to see every
one of Cammy's games. She's in Pennsylvania and the watching
the Buckeyes kick some button a softball. I didn't see
the scores yet today. But Cammy, Cammy has two hundred
consecutive starts at a high stage. She's going to be
in the record books. That's unusual, be a starter for

(00:25):
two hundred games, whether it be softball, football, baseball, basketball,
all of them. So anyway, lads in the house from
stand and speak our buddy. You know Zach can't make
it from the Mold Masters superstar. I wonder what's wrong
with him. We're going to start giving him. We'll put
Sissy in a corner.

Speaker 2 (00:42):
I'm sure it's not mold mold related to.

Speaker 1 (00:44):
Right now you probab family, it's Sundays are hard. Sundays
do make it hard. But so your show before we
get too much deep into him. One of the things
when I have you do today is explain all the chaos.
Because I turned on all the big channels this morning
surfing surfing, and I was like, oh, I can't take
any of it. Because I went over to MSNBC first
because I always get a kick out of the weirdness.

(01:04):
And they were just Trump Trump, Trump, Tom He said,
you kin level and I want to see an n Hey,
they were a little bit more they had. CNN has
been pulling back a little bit and having a change
of opinions a lot of their guests. I don't know
if you ever.

Speaker 2 (01:16):
Watch it, but I've seen some highlights.

Speaker 1 (01:19):
Yeah, there's been a gentleman I can't think of his
name right now, but he comes on that late show
on the panel board and he stands up all the libs.

Speaker 2 (01:26):
Oh Scott, Jenny Scott, yet loving legend.

Speaker 1 (01:28):
Gosh, he's awesome. And then I jumped over to Fox,
and I think about Fox and I'll give the libs
and the them something on that they're so right that
I can't even I just want a news channel that
I can go to, like your podcast and hit the facts.
So when we when we get into this, I want
you to cover just tell us what's going on. So,
because my buddy's a being a point being sway farm

(01:50):
or whatever about farm as much as nobody, but he
was explaining yesterday that you know he's these terroriffs are
killing his business and and you said something very important
to me at the being the show. It's just going
to take a while to get through this, right, We're.

Speaker 2 (02:04):
Gonna have to sh It's gonna take a while to
shake out. China is cornered right now. But we have
a ninety day pause on all of the rest of
the countries in on tariffs. But China has decided to
fight a trade war with US, which won't end well
for them. But in the in the mint, in the interim,

(02:24):
I mean, we're gonna have to we'll have to endure
some price hikes in some areas.

Speaker 1 (02:29):
So say I'm selling you handkerchiefs, there's no tariffs there.
I mean there's third tariffs on. So you're China, I'm
selling you a ten dollars handkerchief. I don't know why
I'm thinking of that. And then you sell me back
a pair of tennis shoes. I don't charge you any
tariffs for the tennis shoes, correct, but you charge me
something to sell you a handkerchief.

Speaker 2 (02:49):
So, just to backup for a second, the United States
has historically low tariff rates. As an average, it's one
point four to seven percent before Trump took off, which
was in the bottom third of all tries in the world.

Speaker 1 (03:03):
Point on handkerchiefs twenty CENTSAH roughly roughly okay, one hundred
dollars per tennis shoes come from China would be.

Speaker 2 (03:10):
So if we were if we were sending tennis shoes
to China, they would be charging us significantly more than
two percent on those. And what Trump continually and I'm
not sure exactly what that would be, but what Trump
has been saying is there's not just tariff rates, but
there are non tariff barriers that a lot of countries

(03:32):
have imposed, like lots of inspections or environmental rules or
something like that.

Speaker 1 (03:37):
China has environmental rules.

Speaker 2 (03:39):
I don't think so, No, I'm just talking broadly across
a lot of countries. So what what is going to
happen is that already we have a ninety day pause
and these other countries are coming to the Trump administration
and saying, let's let's negotiate. We've been charging you guys
a lot more than you've been charging us for.

Speaker 1 (03:59):
A long Who's that, by the way.

Speaker 2 (04:01):
That would be a European Union, Japan, South Korea, Vietnam
was one of the first to pick up.

Speaker 1 (04:07):
So it's kind of like too much of a good
thing to be too good to be true, and they're
finally like, okay, finally caught us as make up. That's right,
that's right way put in.

Speaker 2 (04:14):
I was arguing with somebody the other day about Vietnam.
Vietnam's tariffs roughly were ten times what our tariffs on
their goods are, So.

Speaker 1 (04:24):
How what were they arguing about?

Speaker 2 (04:26):
They were arguing that Vietnam's tariffs are justifiable because they're
so much more poor than we are. We're so rich,
you know, we could just give it all away.

Speaker 1 (04:38):
That's insane right there. Someone would say that he or
she said to you, they are poor in US, so
we should pay them more.

Speaker 2 (04:44):
That's exactly the mentality of the give it all away
because we're rich America.

Speaker 1 (04:49):
But does shear he understand that the workers don't get it,
the owners of the shoe company gets it, or whoever's
that's right?

Speaker 2 (04:57):
Well, what I said is we're thirty six trillion dollar
that and and we don't need to be giving everything
away to everybody, you know, going forward.

Speaker 1 (05:09):
So I can't believe someone say if someone said that
to you, just roll your eye. What's your facial expressions,
I go, are you some sort of stupid?

Speaker 2 (05:15):
I would say furrowed brow would be a good.

Speaker 1 (05:18):
There you go. I mean I I was telling you
for the show. I had a friend that has a
relative and I heard them talking, well, she doesn't do anything,
but she makes over one hundred grand a ear and
what kind of job is she going to get if
they get rid of her job? And I just looked
at him like, huh. I mean, if you the COVID scrimmage,
the social scrimmage, I call it socialism scrimmage for America,

(05:41):
how they're going to maintain us in the government's going
to control us? Do you really? I mean, anyone who
could sit there and say that my job is worthless,
but I should still get paid I consider a complete
self centered idiot.

Speaker 2 (05:56):
Well, they should be looking over their shoulders wondering when
somebody's going to tap them on this show old and
say you're not needed here anymore because you're not adding
any value.

Speaker 1 (06:04):
Now, we're going to bring up some hairy subjects and
we will be talking people of different years, makes and models.
And I'm sorry, and I'll start out where we go
to break. My buddy worked for the State of Ohio.
I'm gonna say exactly what department, because I don't want
to get him. He's retired now happy. There was a
phone out at the end of the hallway landline phones

(06:25):
for cell phones, and he had some people using that
phone calling long distance. Well, out of the five ladies
in his office that were abusing that phone, two happened
to be of color. They went to HR filed charges
against him, even though he got in trouble for the
long distance bill that they were accumulating over time, which

(06:47):
was really high by the way. He got in trouble
and almost got fired from the state because they made
him into a racist. He said, but you came after
me because of the phone bill, and these five ladies
were abusing that phone. Two happen to be of color,
So you're saying I'm racist. What about the other three? Well,
we're not worried about them. So guess what. He had

(07:10):
to plug the phone. They eventually took the phone away
and hit it. He plugged it back in and they
kept abusing it. And the words that have never brought up.
So that was government waste right there. I would love
to say his name and what it was, but you
know what, I can't, but I can tell you he's
a really close friend of mine and every time we
bring up story, he gets boiling and one of the
nicest guys ever meet. He don't hate anybody.

Speaker 2 (07:31):
Yeah, I've been saying four months now that Ohio needs
their own Department of Government Efficiency. You know, I personally
think that one of our gubernatorial candidates will do a
really good job if he's elected. Vivick A toorise him
a thousand. There is so much waste and an abuse

(07:51):
in Ohio. And we can talk about the Ohio Civil
Rights Commission, which is nothing but a shakedown organization of business.

Speaker 1 (07:58):
So we'll go to break get back, won cover this.
So it's going to get ugly. So sorry if if
your sensitive, go away, But most six to ten listeners
are not. We were going to get to the topics.
We'll call my studio sixty one four seven nine three
nineteen fifty seven if you want to weigh in on
other than Dana and Scoop. I love you guys, but
your mind I want I want a Democrat to call in.
I know you're listening. I want you to call in

(08:20):
and say, well, this isn't fair and explain to me
how you think we should waste this money because I
got to hear it because I don't get it, because
unfortunately all my friends think pretty much like us. But
I need to hear the other side. I'm not going
to fight with you. I just want to hear how
you believe the garbage that's the left puts out there.
This is raw Mini and boots and we're always brought
to you by and protected by Tattletale alarm Systems from

(08:42):
heartlet Bank Studios on News Radio six ten WTVN. And

(09:06):
all right, I know we're all over the board, but
I wanted to set up anything you guys wanted to
talk about. So we're going to keep on the tariffs
for now because we're going to educate everybody listening about
the tariffs. So so you know, stand and speak. I
got lad with me and and man, his podcast is
amazing and it educates you. Now. I know the truth hurts.
You know when your wife asked me if you look

(09:26):
fat in a stress and you say, yes, you're in
the doghouse. So this is kind of the avenue we're
going down today. We're going to give you the truth.
You look fat in the dress, so well, we got it.
Tell me what's going on with this tariff words? Explain
it for the average guy that's not a big you know,
educated gentleman or umb dumb it down will call. So
tell me exactly what's going on. What Trump's trying to accomplish.

Speaker 2 (09:48):
So since Liberation Day is what he called April second,
and what he is trying to do is he boosted
tariffs across the board on all basically all countries, saying,
in effect, which is true, that they're charging more than
we're charging for tariffs, so they're charging.

Speaker 1 (10:05):
How did that happen? And why did that happen?

Speaker 2 (10:07):
So after World War Two, the United States tried to
push free trade, did push free trade on the rest
of the world, trying to get those economies to recover
in Germany and Japan and the UK, and it just
kind of left in place. So why deftly speaking, it's
because the United States is a benevolent, uh, you know,

(10:29):
wealthy country and no one has had the guts to
try to recalibrate our tariffs with the rest of the world.
So Trump said, I'm going to boost it on everybody
and basically see who comes back to US and negotiates
for lower or freer or fairer trades.

Speaker 1 (10:50):
People as country stepped up to the plate.

Speaker 2 (10:52):
Yet so I think what I've heard lately is about
one hundred countries have contacted the White else, some of
them very aggressively, to say, let's negotiate a new deal.
Let's negotiate some lower tear hundred countries. That's what I've heard.
I've heard fifty and one hundred. I don't know which
one is right. The exception to that is China. China

(11:16):
is one of our biggest trading partners. I think they
sell US four hundred and fifty billion dollars of goods
every year. We sell them two hundred and some billion dollars,
and they have responded by jacking up their own rates.
So right this moment, Trump has raised tariffs on China
up to one hundred and forty five percent on their goods.

(11:38):
And I do believe that electronics PCs and cell phones
are exempt from that for a period of time.

Speaker 1 (11:46):
And by the way, they're the most if you believe
in global warming, making the equipment is the most harmful.
If you believe what the left says about global warming,
the stuff that we're not putting the tariffs on or
the stuff it's most harmful to the earth to what
they say, okay, fair enough to say, I mean that
stuff takes more chemicals and poor kids building them with

(12:06):
feet grown out of their face.

Speaker 2 (12:07):
Lithium and okay. And so China has a at the
moment an eighty four percent tariff on our goods and
they're going to increase that to or already did to
one hundred and twenty five percent by yesterday.

Speaker 1 (12:23):
The only thing we sell them, the thing everything we
sell them, it'll be one hundred and twenty five percent.
So it's ten dollars, it's eleven dollars and twenty times so.

Speaker 2 (12:30):
And like I was saying in the last segment, what
that doesn't entail is the non tariff, the non tariff
restrictions to doing business in their country. If you go
to India, China, Japan and you try to just put
something on the shelves there or build a factory, it
is pretty hard to do and there's a lot of costs.
And then with China there's a lot of intellectual theft

(12:53):
that goes on as well, Like they steal our stuff,
they they reconfigure it, they sell it back to us.
This has been a problem for decades, but no one
has really taken it on seriously. We've just sort of
complained about it.

Speaker 1 (13:06):
So wait, they don't have to honor copyrights in China.

Speaker 2 (13:09):
Or I mean, the copyright laws are owned and operated
by the Communist Party over there by like everything else. Okay,
the Communist Party of China, And we have to all
be honest about this. Their objective is to see the
demise of the United States and the capitalist system and
the Western democracies. They are out to get us. So

(13:32):
when you see that made in China on a broomstick
or a shirt or something like that, just think of
that as you are paying for them to build up
a military that's aimed at us, aimed at our demise.
Made in China effectively means build up our enemies. You know,
if you saw something in nineteen thirty nine that said

(13:54):
made in Nazi Germany, would.

Speaker 1 (13:56):
You go buy it? Ah? You know, that's a good point.

Speaker 2 (13:58):
That's kind of okay, it's a tough, it's tough, but
it's true.

Speaker 1 (14:02):
They So how much did Trump put on China then
for stuff coming to us?

Speaker 2 (14:07):
So at the moment, it's at one hundred and forty
five percent. So that's that's a big that's equal. Well,
it's a little bit more. But they're they're ratching it up.
You know, we ratchet it up, they ratchet up. It's
it's a full on trade war between China and the
United States.

Speaker 1 (14:24):
I don't why, Okay, So would you recommend that maybe
who's had of China right now?

Speaker 2 (14:30):
Jizin Ping, mister Pain, go.

Speaker 1 (14:32):
Figure, mister g Ping, have Ping ping and Trump ching
and have them get together and have a meeting. Why
haven't they done it yet?

Speaker 2 (14:40):
I think you'd have to ask them, Okay. I mean,
I I think Trump may be waiting for GI's call
on this, and and g I'm hearing more and more
that he's, you know, thinking of himself as as really
an emperor, like a mause Dong kind of guy. And
you know, I study Chinese history in college, and they

(15:02):
think of themselves as as the center of the universe.
They call themselves the Middle Kingdom. And they don't feel
like they have to bend because they have a lot
of money. They have no rules. They have our debt.
They have rules that are set by the Communist Party,
which means whatever they feel like doing.

Speaker 1 (15:20):
Wow, Well, let's take let's go to Dana. Dana, what
you got brother?

Speaker 3 (15:27):
Well you uh, the Chinese economy right now is spiraling
out of control. Especially they are the financial protect when
it comes to property and houses and stuff like that.
They have over built and nobody's living in them, nobody's
shopping in them, Okay, and they are really a death

(15:51):
spiral and this could really seal their faith permanently. I
hope it does. I hope it cuts their legs off,
and I hope that people rise up and throw that.
That is usually a being out of lots of sat right.
He thinks he is an an emperor. You know. I've
talked to people who've been over there and they went

(16:12):
to these shopping centers who were filled completely with merchandise,
but nobody's allowed to shopping them. And that's what's happened
to their economy. Uh. They think they're going to win,
but they're not going to win because Trump is crazy,
like Fox.

Speaker 1 (16:28):
Yeah, he's good. He sets it up.

Speaker 3 (16:30):
I watched right right, He set them a big time
and they're going down with the count. I mean, look,
I can't wait to see that happen, and I want
to see those people rise up and and throw them
out of there because they are vicious people.

Speaker 1 (16:49):
Right, And I think you know, the main kingdom is money.

Speaker 3 (16:53):
That's right.

Speaker 1 (16:54):
The biggest evil on the planet is money. We all
need it, we all want to.

Speaker 3 (16:59):
And they don't know. They don't know who God is,
you know, especially him. He is just a vile de
man therese. Don't tell him how many people he has.
I'd killed done Joeping when he was the one who
uh did the revolution against the emperor there. Uh he
killed one hundred million people.

Speaker 1 (17:20):
Sure, yeah, they're they're different. The Americans try to be
super sensitive and understand crazy worlds, crazy countries. We don't
understand the like the gay community here. I have gay
friends that stick up for the Middle East. I said,
you understand, if you go over there, they would throw
you off a building in five minutes. They don't think
they would take.

Speaker 3 (17:42):
Them into the soccer field and they would behead.

Speaker 1 (17:44):
Them right right, And we don't. We can't wrap our
head around that because we don't want an opun intended,
because we don't do that stuff here in this country.
We love everybody. We we want everybody to love. Hey,
thanks Dana, but we want everybody to be happy. I
don't care what you're making, model. I don't care if
you're you know. The only thing I care about when
it comes to any topics right now is boys should

(18:04):
not be in girls' sports. But if two dudes want
to get married, two girls want to get married, I
don't care. I mean, I don't care. It's none of
my business. Whatever you do at your house is your business. Now,
some people may disagree with me on that, but I
don't care. I've had I've been in two gay weddings.
Really yeah, they were friends of mine. Yeah, I don't care.
They were gay and they wanted to get married and

(18:26):
asked me being their wedding and I was a groom's it.
I don't care. But for some reason it has to
always be a topic and I don't understand that. But
a boy in girls sports that takes me over the edge. Indeed,
got kid, You'll never ever be able to sell me
on that. But anyway, when we get back, one more
of than when we got back, we're going to talk
about some other goodies because I want to talk about
the stock markets, like do you have any opinion on that?

(18:47):
And you're well versed in all this. I love having
you so This is raw Indian boots. Roy's brought you
