Speaker 1 (00:00):
Previously on your morning show with Michael Del Chrono, is
all right, all this ground funnel that.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
Is the news, and that's why more peopel are watching
the cartoon networks Stunge Robbery runs right now.
Speaker 1 (00:12):
I'm a big ad Democrat. This is like a gold
stall in a.
Speaker 3 (00:16):
Pass a government that just minds its own damn business
and leaves people alone.
Speaker 4 (00:20):
All right, Let's start with George stepanophilis one of the
strategists of the Clinton campaign who went on to be
a staff member of Bill Clinton. He's a political operative
disguised as a Morning Smiley host and then on the
weekend for ABC this week he asks this bias loaded
(00:43):
question of the Trump top economic advisor.
Speaker 1 (00:46):
Listen to his question and the answer.
Speaker 5 (00:47):
On right away now he's saying, hang tough, it won't
be easy.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
How higher price is going to go? How long will
they stay there?
Speaker 2 (00:55):
I actually saw it in this story that you just gave, George.
There's kind of like a logical connect between the stories,
the competing stories that your team is using to attack
President Trump. On the one hand, you're saying that the
countries are really angry and they're going to have to retaliate.
On the other hand, you're saying that consumers are going
to bear the cost and it's going to drive and
place it up. But if US consumers are bearing the costs,
(01:16):
there's no reason for the countries to be angry. So
the fact is the countries are angry and retaliating and
by the way, coming to the table. I got a
report from the USDR last night that more than fifty
countries have reached out to the President to begin a negotiation.
But they're doing that because they understand that they bear
a lot of.
Speaker 4 (01:33):
The tariff and they're bearing the brunt too. Because it's
predicted that the Dow will be down four percent in
the futures, although it's only down about one point seven
as we speak, so it may not even get to four.
But the futures market in China the market closed down
thirteen percent, Japan seven point nine, Germany nine, London five
point two. All evidence to the contrary as to who's
(01:57):
going to get hurt. And that's even if it's permanent
narratives versus reality. They're always fun to follow no matter
where you fall on the issue. Well, thanks to kid Rock,
Bill Maher had his meeting with Donald Trump. Here's Bill
Maher responding to how that meeting went.
Speaker 6 (02:14):
People may not be aware of is that there has
been a sea change who is running the college. It
used to be the professor, right, and now it's administrators.
Some of the numbers I find mind boggling. Yale has
five three hundred and seven undergrads and thirty five hundred administrators.
(02:37):
Stanford has ten thousand, eight hundred and ninety six managerial
and professional staff. These are not the professors ten thousand.
First of all, what do these people do well?
Speaker 4 (02:51):
The focus isn't on education. That's the problem. By the way, careful,
Bill Maher, you may be making the case for Doge now.
In that same episode, he did talk about his meeting
with Trump list. I mean Trump really.
Speaker 6 (03:03):
Interested one of the most effective politicians, whatever you think
of the policy, and him as a person, just as
a politician, just understanding that always lean in to being
more who you are. The people are not savvy about issues,
but they smell a phony a mile away, and that
(03:26):
kind of nobody else does it. Like when he did
that thing where the guy came in from the Taliban
and he said, this is an aerial picture of your house.
If during our withdrawal when American is hurt. Just now
I know where you live. I was like, oh, can
we just play the music now, because I don't care.
(03:47):
It's Donald Trump and he's the worst person ever.
Speaker 1 (03:49):
Blah blah blah. I love that.
Speaker 4 (03:53):
So that's Bill Maher and Chris Cmo talking about the
effectiveness of Donald Trump. Publicans are kind of divided this
morning over Donald Trump and tariffs. Sensible Democrats are starting
to sense the consistency of his wisdom and how nobody
plays the chess game better in a world of checkers.
(04:16):
Here's more bias in a loaded question, this time Marco Rubio,
who continues to shine in representing the administration on tariffs.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
Listen, what is your reaction and what is the impact
on Europeans.
Speaker 7 (04:28):
You want them to spend more on defense, which they
are agreeing to finally, but how can they do that.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
When their economies are crashing and they are now no, no, no, no, no.
Speaker 7 (04:38):
Other economies are not crushing. Their markets are reacting. No,
their economies are not crushing. Their markets are reacting to
a dramatic change in the global order in terms of trade,
and so what happens is pretty straightforward. If you're a
company and you make a bunch of your products in China,
and all of a sudden, shareholders are people that play
the stock market realize that it's going to cost a
lot more to produce in China.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
Your stock is going to go down.
Speaker 7 (05:01):
But ultimately, the markets as long as as long as
they know what the rules are going to be moving forward,
and as long as that's sentenced and you can sustain
where you're going to be, the markets will adjust businesses
around the world, including in trade and global trade.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
They just need to know what the rules are.
Speaker 7 (05:15):
Once they know what the rules are, they will adjust
to those rules. So I don't think it's fair to
say economies are crashing. Markets are crashing because markets are
based on the stock value of companies who today are
embedded in modes of production that are bad.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
For the United States, we have to be a.
Speaker 7 (05:29):
Country that thinks we're the largest consumer market in the world,
and yet the only thing we export is services, and
we need.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
To stop that.
Speaker 7 (05:35):
We need to get back to a time of worry
country that can make things, and to do that we
have to reset the global order of trade.
Speaker 4 (05:41):
So what's interesting is you can take whatever side you
want to take on the tariffs. You just can't use
the stock market as your proof, because that's not the economy.
That's a stock market reacting to uncertainty, and certainty will
come and companies will adjust and markets will correct to
(06:04):
face the nation. We go more loaded by his question
and balance an answer.
Speaker 8 (06:11):
Like why are the Herd and McDonald Islands, which don't
export to the United States and are quite literally inhabited
by penguins, why do they face a ten percent tariffs?
Did you use AI to generate this?
Speaker 4 (06:24):
This is trying to discredit the ten percent for everywhere
and the ridiculous Herd Island and McDonald Island example.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
Watch how the White House responds, No, No, the idea.
Speaker 5 (06:39):
Look, the idea is why you're on the list off
because the idea what happens is if you leave anything
off the list, the countries that try to basically arbitrage
America go through those countries to US, any country, like
we had tariffs.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
That president put tariffs on China right in twenty eighteen.
Speaker 5 (07:00):
And then what China started doing is they started going
through other countries to America. They just built through other
countries through America. And so the president knows that he's
tired of it and he's.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
Going to fix that.
Speaker 5 (07:11):
So basically he said, look, I can't let any part
of the world be a place where China or other
countries can shoot through.
Speaker 4 (07:19):
Them, you know, kind of like setting up all the
cheap evs from Mexico to flood our country. Fox Sundy
and Shannon Breem had her tough question of a Republican senator.
Speaker 9 (07:29):
Listen, Well, what we have wrong here, Shannon, is this
isn't a trade war. This is balancing our economy with
countries that have taken advantage of us. There's countries for
decades that have got rich over the backs of.
Speaker 1 (07:44):
The workers here in America.
Speaker 9 (07:46):
What's happened is we've lost manufacturing jobs where because of
our unfreed, unfree, unfair trade deals that have left America
went to other countries, building their products and tournament background
and selling it to our economy. The countries need access
to our economy because we're the largest and the greatest
economy in the world. The problem is it's costing us
(08:08):
manufacturing jobs. It is time for someone to stand up.
And I applaud President Trump for having a backbone and
being the first president to ever stand up and say,
hold on a second, it's not about today's economy. It's
about the future of America's economy going down the road.
We know the trade deficits have spread, They've only got
worse year after year after year, and at some point
(08:29):
someone had to do something about it. And President Trump
is finally doing that.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
You know.
Speaker 4 (08:33):
I think part of the strategy is that Donald Trump
really doesn't want to, you know, level the playing field
with enemies. He doesn't think they're going to cooperate anyway.
He probably will to the degree of flooding evs through Mexico,
but in the end, he just wants to at least
get some fair deals with our supposed friends. So I
(08:55):
can see a strategy where the President does across the
board ten everywhere, and then for those that are the
worst in attacking US with unfair trade percentages, a reciprocal
that is on average half of what they're imposing already.
And the White House says some fifty nations have already
come to the table to renegotiate. Watch them slowly renegotiate
(09:18):
with Mexico, with Canada, with the EU, with Japan, and
the only one left out is China. I think that's
where he's headed. And I think the Senator gets that
this is an interesting twist because here's Coach Timmy tim
Waltz on State of the Union with Jake Tapper, And
(09:41):
this is where the narratives kind of get twisted and
blow up in their face because there's portions of the
Republican Party that can hate what's happening nothing else based
on their portfolios and the market temporarily. But how can
Democrats can them what Donald Trump is doing? After all,
(10:02):
he's doing what they've been talking about for so long.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
Listen you.
Speaker 10 (10:06):
The UAW called his auto tariffs quote a long overdue
shift away from a harmful economic framework that has devastated
the working class. It signals are return to policies that
prioritize the workers who build this country rather than the
greed of ruthless corporations unquote. I have to say that
sounds a lot like language you would use.
Speaker 3 (10:25):
What do you say to the UAW, Yes, it is
what I would use. And here's the thing that Democrats
have to figure out Donald Trump's language around this. He's
not wrong that we've had manufacturing gutted. He's not wrong
that we saw in outshowing people of my generation were told,
you know, there aren't going to be any manufacturing jobs,
so you need to go to college and rack up
student loan debt. The problem is Donald Trump's solution to
(10:47):
this is not the solution. Now that uaw's right, certain tariffs,
if they're on to steal or if they're targeted correctly,
do make a difference.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
That's not what we're dealing with here.
Speaker 3 (10:56):
So just last week, six hundred and fifty taconite miners
are laid off. Those aconite miners are mining the attack
andite to make the steal to build the automobiles.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
So I don't disagree.
Speaker 3 (11:05):
Where they're at, and I think this is the democratic dilemma.
Donald Trump talks about the things that are real in
the angst of people's lives.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
He doesn't do a damn thing about it.
Speaker 3 (11:15):
In fact, he does just the opposite, and he pals
around with the people that caused the problem, and we
don't offer them a solution.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
So it looks like we're not hearing them.
Speaker 3 (11:23):
So I disagree with Sean Fain and UAW on this issue.
I don't disagree with them on that we made decisions
over the last thirty to forty years that I don't
think helped America. But this is not the solution to it.
Isolating ourselves not the solution. We need to make sure
that we're focusing it again. I would just end with this, Jake,
Donald Trump has not once ever cared about workers. This
(11:44):
is why you need to support unions across the board, support.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
The unions that of course are supporting him. I got
to end with this.
Speaker 4 (11:50):
Kamala Harris, she's still out there making world word salad bars.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
Listen to this one. They people stay quiet.
Speaker 10 (12:00):
We are seeing organizations stay quiet.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
We are seeing.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
Those who are contitulating.
Speaker 4 (12:11):
To clearly unconstitutional threats.
Speaker 1 (12:19):
And these are the things that we are witnessing each
day in.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
These last few months in our country.
Speaker 5 (12:28):
And it understandably creates a great sense.
Speaker 9 (12:31):
Of fear, because you know, there were many things that
we knew would happen.
Speaker 4 (12:41):
Anything.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
I'm not used.
Speaker 11 (12:42):
I've told you so, all right, everybody, Look a look,
you just got to try harder not to sub and
to have the opportunity for a brief civics lesson.
Speaker 5 (12:57):
You're a fashion perhaps you'd like to be alone with
you have to a deteriorating mental condition.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
Oh always revealing often entertaining. That's yourself, miss a little,
miss a lot, miss a lot, and will miss you.
