Speaker 1 (00:02):
See you right here for our final news roundup and
Information overload.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
That's right, News round Up, Information Overload Hour eight hundred
and ninety four one sean our number. You want to
be a part of the program. You know, first of all,
the Democratic media's predictions of Wall Street Black Monday a
bloodbath seemed to a fizzle today. It doesn't mean there
won't be some hiccups because what Donald Trump is doing
(00:30):
is out of the box. It breaks what is decades,
fifty sixty years worth of stupidity, which is allowing both
friend and foe countries to put these massive tariffs on us.
And it is a shock to the system. Wall Street
doesn't like shocks to the system. But you know, I
go back to what I said earlier in the program.
Number one new poll by the Daily Mail completed after
(00:53):
the President announced his tariff policy. Yeah, his approval rating
went up four points fifty three percent. And most Americans
are not impacted by the stock market in major ways.
Speaker 3 (01:05):
Most people, a lot.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
Of working men and women have irais, but it's not
something that they're going to be touching in the next
five or ten years. Otherwise, usually if you're five years out,
any good financial advisor is going to tell you, Okay,
time to put it now. It's about wealth preservation, and
you've got to manage how much risk you are willing
to take. If you go in the stock market, you're
willing to take a risk. I have not been a
(01:28):
market person most of my adult life. I don't like
the uncertainty of it.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
I just prefer something I could feel and touch, bricks
and mortar. And that's just my own personal that's just
my own personal belief system. You know, there was not
that long ago you can get a one two year
treasury for paying five plus percent return, which is not
only wealth preservation, but staying ahead of inflation. At that point,
(01:55):
Scott Bessem pointed out, eighty eight percent of the stock
market's owned by the wealthiest percent of Americans, and they're
the loudest ones. That's why I'm more confident than ever
the people that work in Wall Street. You know, remember
a lot of these guys that work on Wall Street.
They make money when the stock market goes up, and
they make it when the stock market goes down, Linda,
(02:17):
true statement or false statement, they do. Joe Biden like
Trump's twenty eighteen tariffs so much that he not only
kept them in place, he increased some of them. Oh,
how come there wasn't a panic then? And now that
China put a thirty four percent increase above their already
long term trading abuse and intellectual property theft and saber rattling.
(02:41):
I predict even the Chinese they're going to want access
to American markets, and that that is where the strength
of the President's position lies right there. But they were predicting.
And by the way, why anybody would ever listen to
this dope Jim Kramer on CNBC is beyond any comprehension.
I have you ever watched the guy, Linda, he's like
the dumbest guy on Wall Street.
Speaker 3 (03:02):
I don't think he's like the guy.
Speaker 4 (03:04):
I actually think he's he's reckless and he's dangerous to
people because they listen to him and they actually think
he knows what he's talking about, and he does not.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
I'm getting out of crypto. What was it at like
forty fifty thousand dollars? Problem less forever? It's ridiculous, Okay,
it's it's it's on the downside at seventy eight you know, thousand.
Speaker 4 (03:26):
Don't warm me about me getting wet when I can
look out the window at see it's rain and do
me a favor please exactly.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
Anyway, so he was one of the people out there
predicting a Black Monday bloodbath. Okay, so the down was
that was down today three forty five Nasdak was in
positive territory.
Speaker 3 (03:42):
And I'm not jumping the gun.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
I think things can you know, will be a little
topsy turvy while people the market absorbs the new what was,
what is going to be, and what will become a
new normal. It will become a new normal. That's why
as much as I really do like Bill Lackman, I
like him a lot. I think is very very smart.
He wanted a ninety day you know, break from this,
(04:04):
and I'm like, a ninety day timeout to give people
without the pressure they're not this is worth my area
of disagreement with them, and it's slight. It's if you
give them a ninety day time out, they're gonna think
Trump's caving, and I don't think that's the whole purpose
of this is to make the world know that if
that they have a choice, free fair trade, open markets
(04:27):
to the US. But it's got to we've got to
have free, fair, reciprocal trade back with them. If they
want to tariff us, We're going to tariff them back.
It really is that simple, and this is our outlet.
Speaker 3 (04:40):
You know.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
Germany, the car example is the perfect one ten percent tariff.
We only charge them a two and a half percent
tariff on their cars. They charge just ten percent. Then
they've got a value added tacks and national sales tax
that means that any American made cars thirty percent higher
than what the sticker price would normally be. That's why
they sell nearly ten cars to our one car. Germany
(05:03):
sells ten cars in America. Are one car being sold
in Germany. It's it's unsustainable.
Speaker 3 (05:07):
Now.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
One point that Acman makes that I kind of agree
with is and I know he relies on his advisors,
but I think they should acknowledge, maybe make a slight
course correction. And as much as I think that when
we talk about terroriffs, we should only talk about terrorists,
there are other calculations in the reciprocal tariff chart, which
(05:34):
by the way, are legitimate, but I would bifurcate it
out separately so people can understand it. People understand free
and fair trade versus reciprocal tariffs. That would be my
only And that's not even really a criticism as much
as it is that or you can be of the
mindset that, well, we could do nothing and let America
(05:54):
continue to get ripped off. I mean, really, our friends
in Japan two hundred plus percent tariff on rice, Okay, why?
Speaker 3 (06:04):
Why is?
Speaker 2 (06:04):
Why do we have two hundred plus percent? You know,
after we sell x small amount of dairy products to Canada?
Why are they whacking us with tariffs?
Speaker 3 (06:13):
You know?
Speaker 2 (06:13):
Why are European Union countries hitting us with all these
tariffs when in each instance we provide for the national
defense and the security that they need as they all
battle their various enemies. So let's be real here, you know,
and the President made a couple of points today that
nobody's paying attention to wholesale eggs. MEMBERY came in an
(06:34):
office day one. You said, on day one, egg prices
are coming down. You know, egg prices have declined forty
three percent since Donald Trump became president.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
Oh, why would we give that.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
We have cattle ranchers, you know, they're very very happy
about this because they don't have access to some of
the markets around the world and there's basically a boycott
on that, and the same thing with our dairy and
our farmers and our produce and our dairy and our
poultry in this country. And so if you look at
(07:09):
the people, if you work in the auto industry, if
you work in manufacturing, if you're a rancher, if you're
a farmer, if you are basically if you work for
a living, you're going to do better. Vietnam Taiwan are
ready to capitulate offer to remove all US tariffs. Israel
has done the same thing. The President mentioned today, fifty
(07:29):
sixty other countries are begging. Over the weekend, it was fifty.
Now I believe the numbers up to sixty countries coming
to the US. The Agricultural Secretary Brook Rowlands said it.
US Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick said it. Elon Musk, he's right,
he hopes. And they tried to create a wedge between
Elon and President Trump. But Elana say, and he hopes
(07:50):
with zero tariffs, free of the trade zone between the
US and Europe. Well, I hope for the same thing too,
But the decision is going to be Europe's, it's not
going to be ours, you know. And Politico had an
interesting piece today. You know how Trump may get away
with it, and many countries are shifting through the details.
But you know, I can't be the last one to
(08:12):
reach a deal with Trump, because if I'm the last one,
then I'm the one who's going to get screwed. One
foreign diplomat said, like others, the diplomat was granted anonymity
to be candid about the sensitive issue. If I'm the
first one to reach the deal, then it might be
the most advantageous possible thing compared to other countries. It'll it'll,
it'll pay off. They're taking him seriously. For four years,
(08:36):
they've they've basically run roughshod over this country and over
the president of the United States. But literally for decades
and decades, this has been the policy. Okay, little shock
to the system. I can understand, little shock to the system.
I know the institutionalists and those that live in Washington,
they're not used to it. We're actually going to hit
(08:59):
something else. I'm so tired of kind of talking about tariffs,
to be very honest with you, because I think this
is going to play out naturally, and I just say,
you got to give this a little bit of time
to kind of penetrate into the consciousness of people not here,
not only here at home, but abroad. And people are
going to understand pretty soon this is a new normal.
(09:19):
And meanwhile, the radical Left, their supportive domestic terrorism, their
silence against domestic terrorism, keeps getting louder and louder. I mean,
they're bringing out old hippies like Joan Baiez and Neil
Young joining Bernie Sanders and AOC for their anti oligarchy
rally in La. What is an anti aligarchy rally? They
(09:41):
had these these protests all over the weekend. We've got
some great tape we're going to show you on Hannity tonight.
And on the other hand, as domestic violence continues around
the country, a pregnant female Tesla driver was seriously injured
after an unknown attacker shattered the windshield with a rock.
And these people are nuts. By the way, are Tesla
Dealhannity dot com. I'm gonna give a the Tesla of
your choice to unlucky winner now through April the eleventh, which,
(10:05):
by the way, is the end of the week.
Speaker 3 (10:07):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
But you can register every day between now and the eleventh.
Today's word of the day is Hannity. You go to
hannity dot Com, click on the Tesla contest icon, takes
you to the contest page and when you get there,
just put in the word Hannity. But the left has
just gone absolutely nuts. James Carvel, with all due respect
for the guy that accused, I think Trump's has syphilis.
(10:29):
I'm like, okay, whatever, James, he's lost his mind. He's
the guy. Here's why Kamala Harris can't lose so his
prognostications and not particularly where they once were. This is
a guy that was part of administration that understood triangulation
and understood the era of big government's over and the
(10:50):
end of welfare as we know. And so take that
for what it's worth. He's now, he says, Trump collaborators,
you know, saying, well, let me just play for it.
Speaker 3 (11:01):
I'll explain it.
Speaker 5 (11:03):
Do you know what's going to happen?
Speaker 1 (11:04):
Do you know how this end? Do you know these
collaborators with the country is going to feel toward collaborators
with this regime? Maybe you need to go in history
and see what happened in August of nineteen forty four,
after Paris was liberated. They didn't take very kindly to
(11:26):
the collaborators. No, it was not a very pretty site
in the streets of Paris. I'm not saying that these
people should be placed in pajamas and have their head shaved,
marched down Pennsylvania Avenue and spin off. I'm not saying that,
But I'm saying that that did happen, and I'm saying
(11:50):
that these people betrayed the French nation in the same way.
And I think that these law firms and these giant
corporate conglomerates are betraying the United States. And we're going
to continue talking about collaborators. I think I'm going to
start here as we go forward and give it a
little book time. But we should have a collaborator's hall
(12:12):
of fame. There's some people that.
Speaker 3 (12:14):
Just I can't take it.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
If you like Trump, or if you were involved in
some of the lawfare against Trump and you're coming to
a settlement, you're a collaborator, or else you're going to be,
you know, treated like a Nazi. Chuck Schumer claims, well,
Trump may not be an anti semi, but he certainly
tolerates it because somebody called him Schumer feure. I don't
even know who's Bernie Moreno said it, and I'm like,
(12:39):
is this the same Chuck Schumer that has been sitting
idly by and doing nothing while leaders in his party
are so openly pro hamas an anti Semitic. We don't
need lectures from him. But that's the that's the radical
left today anyway. I think he's worried anyway, because AOC
(13:03):
is now ahead of Chuck Schumer by double digits, nineteen
points fifty five. What was it, I think it was
fifty five thirty six in a poll that came out
last week. I think AOC is going to primary Chucky,
I really do. I think that's coming and the left
is just full of rage. We're actually gonna delve into
(13:23):
this very deeply tonight. And that is the rise of
the radical left in this country. They are now, I mean,
with their protests and this does not represent the mainstream.
They are now accepting violence from hamas. They are sympathetic
towards those that have murdered, raped, been responsible for kidnapping,
(13:44):
beheadings and torture. The radical left sits idly by while
Tesla dealerships are being shot at, while Tesla cars are
being fire bombed, while Tesla charging stations are being fire bombed.
These are the ones that are calling for violence, and
yet they're the very people that for five years lectured
(14:05):
the country about January sixth. They're the same people that
said the riots in the summer of twenty twenty five
hundred and seventy four of them were mostly peaceful, and
we're supposed to believe take them for, you know, for
their word that they're against violence. No, they're just they're
only peaceful when it works for them. They're only peaceful.
(14:26):
Let's be blunt about this. They're only peaceful when it
works in their benefit and they win elections, then all
of a sudden they can be peaceful. Eight hundred nine
four one, Shawn, if you want to be a part
of the program, twenty five now to the top of
the hour. Eight hundred ninety four one, Sean, if you
want to be a part of the program. Prime Minister
net and Yahoo back in the White House today. Why
(14:49):
does my gut tell me that he's there for a
very specific reason that we probably won't know about in
the short term, meaning the next week or two. Anyway,
Israel has been under attack. It's been going on over
eighteen months, tens and tens of thousands of Israelis are
in desperate need, dire need of humanitarian assistants. They're taking
(15:10):
missile fire, they're fighting for their very existence against radical
Islamis that attack them. October seventh, twenty twenty three. On
top of that, this threat never seems to end. And
thankfully there are groups like the ones we have partnered
with the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews. Not only
(15:30):
do they provide that life saving humanitarian aid and security essentials,
but your gift is providing bomb shelters, black jackets, bulletproof vests,
first responders, armored security vehicles, ambulances. I mean, their need
is so great because this battle, this war is real,
(15:51):
and that reality exists for every Israeli. Anyway, whatever you
can do to help our friends in Israel, please give
them a call right now. It's eight eight eight four

Today's word of the day is Hannity Again. Register once
a day every day through April eleventh, and hopefully you'll
be the lucky winner and you get to pick the
Tesla of your choice, which is the greatest driving vehicle
of all time. So I took my kids this weekend,
Linda and I took them. Well, first we played a
little golf, which is weird because I never have time
(16:44):
to play golf anymore. I didn't play bad for somebody
that doesn't play much hardly ever as a matter of fact.
But anyway, so we were playing a little golf and anyway,
then we got something to eat, which was pretty cool.
And then I'm getting my car and I said, like, watch,
this was in a parking lot, I don't know, pretty
far away, and I summoned the car to drive to
(17:06):
me like a valet, except nobody's in the car.
Speaker 3 (17:09):
And then I put it.
Speaker 2 (17:10):
Then I drove my kids, and this thing goes from
zero to sixty to one point nine to nine seconds,
and this thing's got over a thousand horse power, And
they were like freaking out that I put it in
self drive mode and I just, you know, take my
hands off the steering wheel.
Speaker 3 (17:24):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (17:24):
I'm not touching the brake, I'm not touching the accelerated nothing.
And it's making right turns and left turns and changing
lanes and putting the blinker on. I mean, they were
just blown away. My daughter goes, wow, the future is coming.
I said, honey, the future is here, right here in
front of you. They were blown away by this technology.
(17:46):
It is the most like in the car though. How
is it? It's It's awesome, it really is. You could
easily fit four people on the back. It's very comfortable.
And I got the s plaid. But whoever wins the
contest and get whatever they want, and I'm going to
be buying one lucky winner in Tesla. So I'm pretty excited.
I love to give stuff away. Do you want to
(18:06):
hear something funny. Our friend of your car broke down
and you need a new car keep in driving for
fifty years.
Speaker 3 (18:15):
No, no, No.
Speaker 4 (18:16):
Our friend Tim Stewart, who's the president of the US
Oil and Gas Association, obviously pretty friendly on guests, you know,
cars and so on and so forth, and this weekend,
he texted me, sent me his tweet, and he was like,
we went out and bought a Tesla because we want
to buy an American made car and we're so disgusted
(18:36):
by what they're doing to Elon. He said, I don't
care if I'm the president of the you know, the
US Oil, Petroleum and Gas Association. He's like, I'm going
to go out there and support what they're doing for America,
which I thought was very cool.
Speaker 2 (18:49):
It's the most American made car in our country, meaning
more parts made in America. It's not one hundred percent,
about eighty six percent. I think Ford is about eighty. Said,
I'm not sure. GM's in the seventies. And in fairness
to even some companies like Conda and Toyota, they do
have plants here that create high paying career jobs for
(19:10):
Americans and they build their cars here, but there is
a profit center that goes back to another country. I'm
all about buying an American and I have been my whole career.
And I remember earlier in my career taking taking guff
from people saying, yeah, but those cars are earning. You know,
our cars aren't as good. American manufacturers have caught up,
(19:31):
but Tesla is in a whole league of its own.
This is an entire different experience. It's the coolest thing
I've ever driven in my life. It is the best
muscle car I've ever driven. And you know, my friends
were all muscleheads, and I'm driven all their cars because
they're obsessed with it. And when I tell them that
my car will beat them zero to sixty, you know,
and on a drag race or in a real longer race,
(19:55):
and I show them videos of Tesla the s plaid
beating Bugatti, any of my beloved Corvette Z six with
the Z seven package and Ferraris, they can't and Porsche's
they can't believe it. Anyway, to our phones, we go
Diane and Florida. Diane, how are you glad you called?
Thank you for your patience.
Speaker 5 (20:15):
Oh, thank you so much. I appreciate it. Sean, I
just wanted to share some thoughts on the stock market
impacts due to the tariffs predominantly, and I want to
first say thank you for allowing the sending opinions to
come onto your show, because I'm probably in a different
position than many others may be who have called in,
and maybe even your position. I am sixty seven years old.
(20:38):
I recently retired. I have mode grass for a living.
I have waited on tables for a living, retired as
an officer with a large company. Because I worked very,
very hard. I never asked for a penny from the
federal government. I've been a Republican as long as I
can remember. I've never been anything else, and I have
been a steadfastorter of Trump, and I'm trying to maintain
(21:04):
as best that I can that level of support. I
know i'm speaking for well, I'm not speaking for others.
I'm speaking for myself, but I do know of multiple
others who are in the same position that I'm in,
and I just wanted to share my view because I
do think Republicans are in trouble. So I have invested
(21:24):
in the stock market pretty heavily. I live off the proceeds.
That's how I've been able to afford the lifestyle that
I have, which I don't go on a lot of vacations,
and I have, as I mentioned, lived below my means
for many many years so that I could do this now.
This issue with tariffs, in my opinion, it's not the
what that I disagree with it's the how, in my opinion,
(21:48):
what Trump has done. It's been, in my opinion, sloppy,
taking the tariffs, the percentage rates of all these companies
having it, and then implementing it. The night before he
was announcing it, he did let all of us know
that it was going to be great news for us.
It was going to create a lot of wealth for
all of us. He was going to be nicer than
(22:10):
what he initially had planned. And then all of a
sudden this happens and completely wiped out a very large
portion of our investments. Enough, frankly, and I feel fortunate
in a way, but enough to I could pay cash
with what I lost for a brand new lakefront home,
and I'm not happy about that. I'm not happy, not
(22:31):
because of the what, but the how to let Americans
know this is going to be great news, that it's
going to create well for you as Americans. I'm going
to be nicer than planned, So I'm thinking fat, dumb,
and happy. Then I'm not going to lose my shirt
the next day and then continue to lose other clothing
items through the week, because that's exactly what happened. I
(22:52):
think that Trump has been unfortunately disingenuous. He's not going
to stand on the campaign trail for me and you're
going to lose your shirt that way. I would never
expect him to say that. But frankly, the way the
tariff process was implemented and how he communicated it, what
it did is it took people like me off guard
(23:13):
where I could not effectively plan so that I could
manage through the implications of the tariff. That's my concern.
Had he been more had he been honest with us,
had he that night before he announced it said listen,
this is going to be a shock to this country.
It's necessary. Long run is going to be good for you.
Speaker 3 (23:34):
But he did say that, he said all of that part.
Speaker 5 (23:38):
No, he wasn't clear enough, Sean, he really wasn't. He minimized.
Speaker 2 (23:43):
He said, he's used the words it would be short
term pain, and at one point even said Americans will
have to, you know, withstand that and then then the
growth part would come on the other side of it. Listen,
I don't want to be unsympathetic towards where you are
with your investments. Can I just ask you a couple
of questions?
Speaker 5 (24:03):
Sure? And I did want to say one other thing,
if you don't mind too. Of course, in my opinion,
and I've been a steadfast supporter of Trump, I voted
for everyone that he suggested in my jurisdiction. And I
will tell you for whatever this is worth for me
anyway as a voter and my husband and many of
my friends, if this market isn't cleaned up very quickly,
(24:25):
like within a few months, back on track where it
was and moving forward, the midterms are going to be
implicated very negatively for Republicans, because even if he fixed
it today, there's going to be residual negative sentiment toward
Republicans as far as their ability, not their ability to
identify what needs to be done, but their ability to
(24:47):
execute in the most effective way for Americans. So I'm
one of those people who if it's not really cleaned
up very quickly, and when we face the midterms, if
I don't feel that we've made for lost time, then
I've never felt like this. But I know who I am,
I know what I stand for. I would not bring
(25:08):
myself right.
Speaker 2 (25:08):
I've given you a lot of time, Diane. I got
to ask you questions because you're I hear what you're saying.
Now I want to address it one by one. How
did how did your stock market? How would your portfolio
perform under Biden, especially when you account for inflation?
Speaker 5 (25:25):
Actually, under Biden compared to Trump, I was probably about
three or four percent off every year, So it performed
better under Trump.
Speaker 2 (25:33):
There's well Trump after Trump went up sixty percent in
four years. The NASDAK doubled in four years. You know that, right, right?
Speaker 5 (25:40):
And sixty percent is what you know you did.
Speaker 2 (25:42):
You did not come anywhere near when you when you
factor in inflation Biden inflation, you didn't come anywhere near
the returns you got on Trump's first term. Let's start there.
So you already made a lot of money on the
stock market in those years. Well, hang on, no, no, no,
I've given you a long time to tell you a story,
but we got to get some facts on the table here.
Speaker 3 (26:00):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (26:01):
Now, when you invest in money, do you talk to
a financial advisor or do you do it by yourself?
Speaker 5 (26:06):
I talked to a financial advisor.
Speaker 2 (26:09):
Every financial advisor I know does he not give you
this warning that if any money that you might need
in the next ten years should not be in the.
Speaker 5 (26:18):
Market, any money that you might know, Absolutely not.
Speaker 2 (26:21):
No, every every good financial guy that I know you
have to be very careful in terms of because stock market.
You do know that there is boom and bust, bullet
and bear, and that there are corrections. Correct Do you
understand that part?
Speaker 5 (26:36):
Of course, I've been in a long time. I'm what
I would consider almost an expert at it. I've been
in it that long, all right.
Speaker 2 (26:42):
If you're an expert, then you would you would know
that you have to play long ball in the in
the end, in spite of the president's you know, the
three day you know what the last three days of
the markets and the volatility, et cetera. Now we have
a choice that we have to make as a country.
Here do nothing and you see what other countries are
(27:06):
charging us in terms of tariffs. And you see, for
I use the Germany example, I can use the Japan example.
Japan two hundred percent tariffs on our rice. For crying
out loud, Japan ninety four percent of their cars are
made in Japan. Or Canada won't allow seeds to be
brought in or after they sell a certain amount of
(27:26):
dairy or poultry in Canada. The Canada imposed of the
two hundred and fifty percent tariff true or false? Has
has friend and foe alike been ripping us off with
unfair trade practices.
Speaker 5 (27:40):
I'm not complaining about the what Sean I said.
Speaker 3 (27:42):
It's Diane. I'm Diane. We can't have a conversation if
you're not going to answer me.
Speaker 5 (27:46):
We are.
Speaker 2 (27:47):
Yes, we've been ripped We've been ripped off really badly,
haven't we? And for the last fifty years pretty much
it's been American policy to institutionalize this. So the question is,
and the choice we have as a country, is we
do nothing and continue to get ripped off by other countries.
Now you're thinking about your stock portfolio, but guess what
(28:11):
auto manufacturers are thinking about their products and the men
and women that work on the line. The UAW guys,
they're thinking about their families and their high paying career jobs.
So farmers and ranchers are thinking about theirs as well.
Here's my prediction, and let's see if I turn on
(28:31):
to be right, is that we have over fifty countries,
according to Scott Peasant and others in the Trump administration,
that now want to negotiate with this country for free
and fair trade. Why don't we let this play out
for a couple of months and let's see. Let's let
it play out a year and let's see. Now, if
you don't have the stomach to be in the stock market,
(28:52):
I would recommend when it goes back up, and it will,
you probably should pull your money out and put it
in treasuries, because this is what the stock market does.
It goes up, and it goes down, it goes boom,
it goes bust, it goes bullet, goes bare. And I
definitely have sympathy for people. However, it's either that or
institutionalized getting ripped off. And Donald Trump decided to rip
(29:17):
off the band aid and make changes that I think
in the end are going to be proven to be
well thought out and beneficial for American workers and the
American consumer. But we'll find out. I'm sorry that some
people like you are going through a little bit of
pain now, but anybody that puts money in the stock
market know you're taking a risk. I appreciate you call.
(29:38):
You know, while everyone else wants to talk Harris endlessly. Well,
the Dow only was down a couple hundred points today,
NASDAK actually in positive range. I think in the next
few days a couple of weeks that things will be.
Speaker 3 (29:50):
Back to normal.
Speaker 2 (29:51):
The new normal will be, you know, will kind of
enter people's consciousness. We'll have full coverage of this rise
of left wing radical Joe Conscious, Stephen Miller, Charlie Kirk.
I don't know if you saw what they did to
Charlie Kirk's group. We've got video of it. Speaker Mike Johnson,
Mark Meadows, Boris Cooper, Laura Trump at you DVR, Hannity
(30:12):
nine Easter. We'll see you tonight, back here tomorrow. Thank
you for making the show possible.
See you right here for our final news roundup and
Information overload.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
That's right, News round Up, Information Overload Hour eight hundred
and ninety four one sean our number. You want to
be a part of the program. You know, first of all,
the Democratic media's predictions of Wall Street Black Monday a
bloodbath seemed to a fizzle today. It doesn't mean there
won't be some hiccups because what Donald Trump is doing
(00:30):
is out of the box. It breaks what is decades,
fifty sixty years worth of stupidity, which is allowing both
friend and foe countries to put these massive tariffs on us.
And it is a shock to the system. Wall Street
doesn't like shocks to the system. But you know, I
go back to what I said earlier in the program.
Number one new poll by the Daily Mail completed after
(00:53):
the President announced his tariff policy. Yeah, his approval rating
went up four points fifty three percent. And most Americans
are not impacted by the stock market in major ways.
Speaker 3 (01:05):
Most people, a lot.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
Of working men and women have irais, but it's not
something that they're going to be touching in the next
five or ten years. Otherwise, usually if you're five years out,
any good financial advisor is going to tell you, Okay,
time to put it now. It's about wealth preservation, and
you've got to manage how much risk you are willing
to take. If you go in the stock market, you're
willing to take a risk. I have not been a
(01:28):
market person most of my adult life. I don't like
the uncertainty of it.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
I just prefer something I could feel and touch, bricks
and mortar. And that's just my own personal that's just
my own personal belief system. You know, there was not
that long ago you can get a one two year
treasury for paying five plus percent return, which is not
only wealth preservation, but staying ahead of inflation. At that point,
(01:55):
Scott Bessem pointed out, eighty eight percent of the stock
market's owned by the wealthiest percent of Americans, and they're
the loudest ones. That's why I'm more confident than ever
the people that work in Wall Street. You know, remember
a lot of these guys that work on Wall Street.
They make money when the stock market goes up, and
they make it when the stock market goes down, Linda,
(02:17):
true statement or false statement, they do. Joe Biden like
Trump's twenty eighteen tariffs so much that he not only
kept them in place, he increased some of them. Oh,
how come there wasn't a panic then? And now that
China put a thirty four percent increase above their already
long term trading abuse and intellectual property theft and saber rattling.
(02:41):
I predict even the Chinese they're going to want access
to American markets, and that that is where the strength
of the President's position lies right there. But they were predicting.
And by the way, why anybody would ever listen to
this dope Jim Kramer on CNBC is beyond any comprehension.
I have you ever watched the guy, Linda, he's like
the dumbest guy on Wall Street.
Speaker 3 (03:02):
I don't think he's like the guy.
Speaker 4 (03:04):
I actually think he's he's reckless and he's dangerous to
people because they listen to him and they actually think
he knows what he's talking about, and he does not.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
I'm getting out of crypto. What was it at like
forty fifty thousand dollars? Problem less forever? It's ridiculous, Okay,
it's it's it's on the downside at seventy eight you know, thousand.
Speaker 4 (03:26):
Don't warm me about me getting wet when I can
look out the window at see it's rain and do
me a favor please exactly.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
Anyway, so he was one of the people out there
predicting a Black Monday bloodbath. Okay, so the down was
that was down today three forty five Nasdak was in
positive territory.
Speaker 3 (03:42):
And I'm not jumping the gun.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
I think things can you know, will be a little
topsy turvy while people the market absorbs the new what was,
what is going to be, and what will become a
new normal. It will become a new normal. That's why
as much as I really do like Bill Lackman, I
like him a lot. I think is very very smart.
He wanted a ninety day you know, break from this,
(04:04):
and I'm like, a ninety day timeout to give people
without the pressure they're not this is worth my area
of disagreement with them, and it's slight. It's if you
give them a ninety day time out, they're gonna think
Trump's caving, and I don't think that's the whole purpose
of this is to make the world know that if
that they have a choice, free fair trade, open markets
(04:27):
to the US. But it's got to we've got to
have free, fair, reciprocal trade back with them. If they
want to tariff us, We're going to tariff them back.
It really is that simple, and this is our outlet.
Speaker 3 (04:40):
You know.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
Germany, the car example is the perfect one ten percent tariff.
We only charge them a two and a half percent
tariff on their cars. They charge just ten percent. Then
they've got a value added tacks and national sales tax
that means that any American made cars thirty percent higher
than what the sticker price would normally be. That's why
they sell nearly ten cars to our one car. Germany
(05:03):
sells ten cars in America. Are one car being sold
in Germany. It's it's unsustainable.
Speaker 3 (05:07):
Now.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
One point that Acman makes that I kind of agree
with is and I know he relies on his advisors,
but I think they should acknowledge, maybe make a slight
course correction. And as much as I think that when
we talk about terroriffs, we should only talk about terrorists,
there are other calculations in the reciprocal tariff chart, which
(05:34):
by the way, are legitimate, but I would bifurcate it
out separately so people can understand it. People understand free
and fair trade versus reciprocal tariffs. That would be my
only And that's not even really a criticism as much
as it is that or you can be of the
mindset that, well, we could do nothing and let America
(05:54):
continue to get ripped off. I mean, really, our friends
in Japan two hundred plus percent tariff on rice, Okay, why?
Speaker 3 (06:04):
Why is?
Speaker 2 (06:04):
Why do we have two hundred plus percent? You know,
after we sell x small amount of dairy products to Canada?
Why are they whacking us with tariffs?
Speaker 3 (06:13):
You know?
Speaker 2 (06:13):
Why are European Union countries hitting us with all these
tariffs when in each instance we provide for the national
defense and the security that they need as they all
battle their various enemies. So let's be real here, you know,
and the President made a couple of points today that
nobody's paying attention to wholesale eggs. MEMBERY came in an
(06:34):
office day one. You said, on day one, egg prices
are coming down. You know, egg prices have declined forty
three percent since Donald Trump became president.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
Oh, why would we give that.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
We have cattle ranchers, you know, they're very very happy
about this because they don't have access to some of
the markets around the world and there's basically a boycott
on that, and the same thing with our dairy and
our farmers and our produce and our dairy and our
poultry in this country. And so if you look at
(07:09):
the people, if you work in the auto industry, if
you work in manufacturing, if you're a rancher, if you're
a farmer, if you are basically if you work for
a living, you're going to do better. Vietnam Taiwan are
ready to capitulate offer to remove all US tariffs. Israel
has done the same thing. The President mentioned today, fifty
(07:29):
sixty other countries are begging. Over the weekend, it was fifty.
Now I believe the numbers up to sixty countries coming
to the US. The Agricultural Secretary Brook Rowlands said it.
US Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick said it. Elon Musk, he's right,
he hopes. And they tried to create a wedge between
Elon and President Trump. But Elana say, and he hopes
(07:50):
with zero tariffs, free of the trade zone between the
US and Europe. Well, I hope for the same thing too,
But the decision is going to be Europe's, it's not
going to be ours, you know. And Politico had an
interesting piece today. You know how Trump may get away
with it, and many countries are shifting through the details.
But you know, I can't be the last one to
(08:12):
reach a deal with Trump, because if I'm the last one,
then I'm the one who's going to get screwed. One
foreign diplomat said, like others, the diplomat was granted anonymity
to be candid about the sensitive issue. If I'm the
first one to reach the deal, then it might be
the most advantageous possible thing compared to other countries. It'll it'll,
it'll pay off. They're taking him seriously. For four years,
(08:36):
they've they've basically run roughshod over this country and over
the president of the United States. But literally for decades
and decades, this has been the policy. Okay, little shock
to the system. I can understand, little shock to the system.
I know the institutionalists and those that live in Washington,
they're not used to it. We're actually going to hit
(08:59):
something else. I'm so tired of kind of talking about tariffs,
to be very honest with you, because I think this
is going to play out naturally, and I just say,
you got to give this a little bit of time
to kind of penetrate into the consciousness of people not here,
not only here at home, but abroad. And people are
going to understand pretty soon this is a new normal.
(09:19):
And meanwhile, the radical Left, their supportive domestic terrorism, their
silence against domestic terrorism, keeps getting louder and louder. I mean,
they're bringing out old hippies like Joan Baiez and Neil
Young joining Bernie Sanders and AOC for their anti oligarchy
rally in La. What is an anti aligarchy rally? They
(09:41):
had these these protests all over the weekend. We've got
some great tape we're going to show you on Hannity tonight.
And on the other hand, as domestic violence continues around
the country, a pregnant female Tesla driver was seriously injured
after an unknown attacker shattered the windshield with a rock.
And these people are nuts. By the way, are Tesla
Dealhannity dot com. I'm gonna give a the Tesla of
your choice to unlucky winner now through April the eleventh, which,
(10:05):
by the way, is the end of the week.
Speaker 3 (10:07):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
But you can register every day between now and the eleventh.
Today's word of the day is Hannity. You go to
hannity dot Com, click on the Tesla contest icon, takes
you to the contest page and when you get there,
just put in the word Hannity. But the left has
just gone absolutely nuts. James Carvel, with all due respect
for the guy that accused, I think Trump's has syphilis.
(10:29):
I'm like, okay, whatever, James, he's lost his mind. He's
the guy. Here's why Kamala Harris can't lose so his
prognostications and not particularly where they once were. This is
a guy that was part of administration that understood triangulation
and understood the era of big government's over and the
(10:50):
end of welfare as we know. And so take that
for what it's worth. He's now, he says, Trump collaborators,
you know, saying, well, let me just play for it.
Speaker 3 (11:01):
I'll explain it.
Speaker 5 (11:03):
Do you know what's going to happen?
Speaker 1 (11:04):
Do you know how this end? Do you know these
collaborators with the country is going to feel toward collaborators
with this regime? Maybe you need to go in history
and see what happened in August of nineteen forty four,
after Paris was liberated. They didn't take very kindly to
(11:26):
the collaborators. No, it was not a very pretty site
in the streets of Paris. I'm not saying that these
people should be placed in pajamas and have their head shaved,
marched down Pennsylvania Avenue and spin off. I'm not saying that,
But I'm saying that that did happen, and I'm saying
(11:50):
that these people betrayed the French nation in the same way.
And I think that these law firms and these giant
corporate conglomerates are betraying the United States. And we're going
to continue talking about collaborators. I think I'm going to
start here as we go forward and give it a
little book time. But we should have a collaborator's hall
(12:12):
of fame. There's some people that.
Speaker 3 (12:14):
Just I can't take it.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
If you like Trump, or if you were involved in
some of the lawfare against Trump and you're coming to
a settlement, you're a collaborator, or else you're going to be,
you know, treated like a Nazi. Chuck Schumer claims, well,
Trump may not be an anti semi, but he certainly
tolerates it because somebody called him Schumer feure. I don't
even know who's Bernie Moreno said it, and I'm like,
(12:39):
is this the same Chuck Schumer that has been sitting
idly by and doing nothing while leaders in his party
are so openly pro hamas an anti Semitic. We don't
need lectures from him. But that's the that's the radical
left today anyway. I think he's worried anyway, because AOC
(13:03):
is now ahead of Chuck Schumer by double digits, nineteen
points fifty five. What was it, I think it was
fifty five thirty six in a poll that came out
last week. I think AOC is going to primary Chucky,
I really do. I think that's coming and the left
is just full of rage. We're actually gonna delve into
(13:23):
this very deeply tonight. And that is the rise of
the radical left in this country. They are now, I mean,
with their protests and this does not represent the mainstream.
They are now accepting violence from hamas. They are sympathetic
towards those that have murdered, raped, been responsible for kidnapping,
(13:44):
beheadings and torture. The radical left sits idly by while
Tesla dealerships are being shot at, while Tesla cars are
being fire bombed, while Tesla charging stations are being fire bombed.
These are the ones that are calling for violence, and
yet they're the very people that for five years lectured
(14:05):
the country about January sixth. They're the same people that
said the riots in the summer of twenty twenty five
hundred and seventy four of them were mostly peaceful, and
we're supposed to believe take them for, you know, for
their word that they're against violence. No, they're just they're
only peaceful when it works for them. They're only peaceful.
(14:26):
Let's be blunt about this. They're only peaceful when it
works in their benefit and they win elections, then all
of a sudden they can be peaceful. Eight hundred nine
four one, Shawn, if you want to be a part
of the program, twenty five now to the top of
the hour. Eight hundred ninety four one, Sean, if you
want to be a part of the program. Prime Minister
net and Yahoo back in the White House today. Why
(14:49):
does my gut tell me that he's there for a
very specific reason that we probably won't know about in
the short term, meaning the next week or two. Anyway,
Israel has been under attack. It's been going on over
eighteen months, tens and tens of thousands of Israelis are
in desperate need, dire need of humanitarian assistants. They're taking
(15:10):
missile fire, they're fighting for their very existence against radical
Islamis that attack them. October seventh, twenty twenty three. On
top of that, this threat never seems to end. And
thankfully there are groups like the ones we have partnered
with the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews. Not only
(15:30):
do they provide that life saving humanitarian aid and security essentials,
but your gift is providing bomb shelters, black jackets, bulletproof vests,
first responders, armored security vehicles, ambulances. I mean, their need
is so great because this battle, this war is real,
(15:51):
and that reality exists for every Israeli. Anyway, whatever you
can do to help our friends in Israel, please give
them a call right now. It's eight eight eight four
A eight IFCJ eight eight eight foury at eight IFCJ,
or on the web, it's one word support IFCJ dot org,
SUPPORTIFCJ dot org. Don't forget our Tesla contest. Just go
(16:13):
to Hannity dot com. You can register every day now
through April the eleventh. You click on the Tesla contest Icon.
It'll bring you to the contest page you put in
the word.
Speaker 3 (16:23):
Of the day.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
Today's word of the day is Hannity Again. Register once
a day every day through April eleventh, and hopefully you'll
be the lucky winner and you get to pick the
Tesla of your choice, which is the greatest driving vehicle
of all time. So I took my kids this weekend,
Linda and I took them. Well, first we played a
little golf, which is weird because I never have time
(16:44):
to play golf anymore. I didn't play bad for somebody
that doesn't play much hardly ever as a matter of fact.
But anyway, so we were playing a little golf and anyway,
then we got something to eat, which was pretty cool.
And then I'm getting my car and I said, like, watch,
this was in a parking lot, I don't know, pretty
far away, and I summoned the car to drive to
(17:06):
me like a valet, except nobody's in the car.
Speaker 3 (17:09):
And then I put it.
Speaker 2 (17:10):
Then I drove my kids, and this thing goes from
zero to sixty to one point nine to nine seconds,
and this thing's got over a thousand horse power, And
they were like freaking out that I put it in
self drive mode and I just, you know, take my
hands off the steering wheel.
Speaker 3 (17:24):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (17:24):
I'm not touching the brake, I'm not touching the accelerated nothing.
And it's making right turns and left turns and changing
lanes and putting the blinker on. I mean, they were
just blown away. My daughter goes, wow, the future is coming.
I said, honey, the future is here, right here in
front of you. They were blown away by this technology.
(17:46):
It is the most like in the car though. How
is it? It's It's awesome, it really is. You could
easily fit four people on the back. It's very comfortable.
And I got the s plaid. But whoever wins the
contest and get whatever they want, and I'm going to
be buying one lucky winner in Tesla. So I'm pretty excited.
I love to give stuff away. Do you want to
(18:06):
hear something funny. Our friend of your car broke down
and you need a new car keep in driving for
fifty years.
Speaker 3 (18:15):
No, no, No.
Speaker 4 (18:16):
Our friend Tim Stewart, who's the president of the US
Oil and Gas Association, obviously pretty friendly on guests, you know,
cars and so on and so forth, and this weekend,
he texted me, sent me his tweet, and he was like,
we went out and bought a Tesla because we want
to buy an American made car and we're so disgusted
(18:36):
by what they're doing to Elon. He said, I don't
care if I'm the president of the you know, the
US Oil, Petroleum and Gas Association. He's like, I'm going
to go out there and support what they're doing for America,
which I thought was very cool.
Speaker 2 (18:49):
It's the most American made car in our country, meaning
more parts made in America. It's not one hundred percent,
about eighty six percent. I think Ford is about eighty. Said,
I'm not sure. GM's in the seventies. And in fairness
to even some companies like Conda and Toyota, they do
have plants here that create high paying career jobs for
(19:10):
Americans and they build their cars here, but there is
a profit center that goes back to another country. I'm
all about buying an American and I have been my whole career.
And I remember earlier in my career taking taking guff
from people saying, yeah, but those cars are earning. You know,
our cars aren't as good. American manufacturers have caught up,
(19:31):
but Tesla is in a whole league of its own.
This is an entire different experience. It's the coolest thing
I've ever driven in my life. It is the best
muscle car I've ever driven. And you know, my friends
were all muscleheads, and I'm driven all their cars because
they're obsessed with it. And when I tell them that
my car will beat them zero to sixty, you know,
and on a drag race or in a real longer race,
(19:55):
and I show them videos of Tesla the s plaid
beating Bugatti, any of my beloved Corvette Z six with
the Z seven package and Ferraris, they can't and Porsche's
they can't believe it. Anyway, to our phones, we go
Diane and Florida. Diane, how are you glad you called?
Thank you for your patience.
Speaker 5 (20:15):
Oh, thank you so much. I appreciate it. Sean, I
just wanted to share some thoughts on the stock market
impacts due to the tariffs predominantly, and I want to
first say thank you for allowing the sending opinions to
come onto your show, because I'm probably in a different
position than many others may be who have called in,
and maybe even your position. I am sixty seven years old.
(20:38):
I recently retired. I have mode grass for a living.
I have waited on tables for a living, retired as
an officer with a large company. Because I worked very,
very hard. I never asked for a penny from the
federal government. I've been a Republican as long as I
can remember. I've never been anything else, and I have
been a steadfastorter of Trump, and I'm trying to maintain
(21:04):
as best that I can that level of support. I
know i'm speaking for well, I'm not speaking for others.
I'm speaking for myself, but I do know of multiple
others who are in the same position that I'm in,
and I just wanted to share my view because I
do think Republicans are in trouble. So I have invested
(21:24):
in the stock market pretty heavily. I live off the proceeds.
That's how I've been able to afford the lifestyle that
I have, which I don't go on a lot of vacations,
and I have, as I mentioned, lived below my means
for many many years so that I could do this now.
This issue with tariffs, in my opinion, it's not the
what that I disagree with it's the how, in my opinion,
(21:48):
what Trump has done. It's been, in my opinion, sloppy,
taking the tariffs, the percentage rates of all these companies
having it, and then implementing it. The night before he
was announcing it, he did let all of us know
that it was going to be great news for us.
It was going to create a lot of wealth for
all of us. He was going to be nicer than
(22:10):
what he initially had planned. And then all of a
sudden this happens and completely wiped out a very large
portion of our investments. Enough, frankly, and I feel fortunate
in a way, but enough to I could pay cash
with what I lost for a brand new lakefront home,
and I'm not happy about that. I'm not happy, not
(22:31):
because of the what, but the how to let Americans
know this is going to be great news, that it's
going to create well for you as Americans. I'm going
to be nicer than planned, So I'm thinking fat, dumb,
and happy. Then I'm not going to lose my shirt
the next day and then continue to lose other clothing
items through the week, because that's exactly what happened. I
(22:52):
think that Trump has been unfortunately disingenuous. He's not going
to stand on the campaign trail for me and you're
going to lose your shirt that way. I would never
expect him to say that. But frankly, the way the
tariff process was implemented and how he communicated it, what
it did is it took people like me off guard
(23:13):
where I could not effectively plan so that I could
manage through the implications of the tariff. That's my concern.
Had he been more had he been honest with us,
had he that night before he announced it said listen,
this is going to be a shock to this country.
It's necessary. Long run is going to be good for you.
Speaker 3 (23:34):
But he did say that, he said all of that part.
Speaker 5 (23:38):
No, he wasn't clear enough, Sean, he really wasn't. He minimized.
Speaker 2 (23:43):
He said, he's used the words it would be short
term pain, and at one point even said Americans will
have to, you know, withstand that and then then the
growth part would come on the other side of it. Listen,
I don't want to be unsympathetic towards where you are
with your investments. Can I just ask you a couple
of questions?
Speaker 5 (24:03):
Sure? And I did want to say one other thing,
if you don't mind too. Of course, in my opinion,
and I've been a steadfast supporter of Trump, I voted
for everyone that he suggested in my jurisdiction. And I
will tell you for whatever this is worth for me
anyway as a voter and my husband and many of
my friends, if this market isn't cleaned up very quickly,
(24:25):
like within a few months, back on track where it
was and moving forward, the midterms are going to be
implicated very negatively for Republicans, because even if he fixed
it today, there's going to be residual negative sentiment toward
Republicans as far as their ability, not their ability to
identify what needs to be done, but their ability to
(24:47):
execute in the most effective way for Americans. So I'm
one of those people who if it's not really cleaned
up very quickly, and when we face the midterms, if
I don't feel that we've made for lost time, then
I've never felt like this. But I know who I am,
I know what I stand for. I would not bring
(25:08):
myself right.
Speaker 2 (25:08):
I've given you a lot of time, Diane. I got
to ask you questions because you're I hear what you're saying.
Now I want to address it one by one. How
did how did your stock market? How would your portfolio
perform under Biden, especially when you account for inflation?
Speaker 5 (25:25):
Actually, under Biden compared to Trump, I was probably about
three or four percent off every year, So it performed
better under Trump.
Speaker 2 (25:33):
There's well Trump after Trump went up sixty percent in
four years. The NASDAK doubled in four years. You know that, right, right?
Speaker 5 (25:40):
And sixty percent is what you know you did.
Speaker 2 (25:42):
You did not come anywhere near when you when you
factor in inflation Biden inflation, you didn't come anywhere near
the returns you got on Trump's first term. Let's start there.
So you already made a lot of money on the
stock market in those years. Well, hang on, no, no, no,
I've given you a long time to tell you a story,
but we got to get some facts on the table here.
Speaker 3 (26:00):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (26:01):
Now, when you invest in money, do you talk to
a financial advisor or do you do it by yourself?
Speaker 5 (26:06):
I talked to a financial advisor.
Speaker 2 (26:09):
Every financial advisor I know does he not give you
this warning that if any money that you might need
in the next ten years should not be in the.
Speaker 5 (26:18):
Market, any money that you might know, Absolutely not.
Speaker 2 (26:21):
No, every every good financial guy that I know you
have to be very careful in terms of because stock market.
You do know that there is boom and bust, bullet
and bear, and that there are corrections. Correct Do you
understand that part?
Speaker 5 (26:36):
Of course, I've been in a long time. I'm what
I would consider almost an expert at it. I've been
in it that long, all right.
Speaker 2 (26:42):
If you're an expert, then you would you would know
that you have to play long ball in the in
the end, in spite of the president's you know, the
three day you know what the last three days of
the markets and the volatility, et cetera. Now we have
a choice that we have to make as a country.
Here do nothing and you see what other countries are
(27:06):
charging us in terms of tariffs. And you see, for
I use the Germany example, I can use the Japan example.
Japan two hundred percent tariffs on our rice. For crying
out loud, Japan ninety four percent of their cars are
made in Japan. Or Canada won't allow seeds to be
brought in or after they sell a certain amount of
(27:26):
dairy or poultry in Canada. The Canada imposed of the
two hundred and fifty percent tariff true or false? Has
has friend and foe alike been ripping us off with
unfair trade practices.
Speaker 5 (27:40):
I'm not complaining about the what Sean I said.
Speaker 3 (27:42):
It's Diane. I'm Diane. We can't have a conversation if
you're not going to answer me.
Speaker 5 (27:46):
We are.
Speaker 2 (27:47):
Yes, we've been ripped We've been ripped off really badly,
haven't we? And for the last fifty years pretty much
it's been American policy to institutionalize this. So the question is,
and the choice we have as a country, is we
do nothing and continue to get ripped off by other countries.
Now you're thinking about your stock portfolio, but guess what
(28:11):
auto manufacturers are thinking about their products and the men
and women that work on the line. The UAW guys,
they're thinking about their families and their high paying career jobs.
So farmers and ranchers are thinking about theirs as well.
Here's my prediction, and let's see if I turn on
(28:31):
to be right, is that we have over fifty countries,
according to Scott Peasant and others in the Trump administration,
that now want to negotiate with this country for free
and fair trade. Why don't we let this play out
for a couple of months and let's see. Let's let
it play out a year and let's see. Now, if
you don't have the stomach to be in the stock market,
(28:52):
I would recommend when it goes back up, and it will,
you probably should pull your money out and put it
in treasuries, because this is what the stock market does.
It goes up, and it goes down, it goes boom,
it goes bust, it goes bullet, goes bare. And I
definitely have sympathy for people. However, it's either that or
institutionalized getting ripped off. And Donald Trump decided to rip
(29:17):
off the band aid and make changes that I think
in the end are going to be proven to be
well thought out and beneficial for American workers and the
American consumer. But we'll find out. I'm sorry that some
people like you are going through a little bit of
pain now, but anybody that puts money in the stock
market know you're taking a risk. I appreciate you call.
(29:38):
You know, while everyone else wants to talk Harris endlessly. Well,
the Dow only was down a couple hundred points today,
NASDAK actually in positive range. I think in the next
few days a couple of weeks that things will be.
Speaker 3 (29:50):
Back to normal.
Speaker 2 (29:51):
The new normal will be, you know, will kind of
enter people's consciousness. We'll have full coverage of this rise
of left wing radical Joe Conscious, Stephen Miller, Charlie Kirk.
I don't know if you saw what they did to
Charlie Kirk's group. We've got video of it. Speaker Mike Johnson,
Mark Meadows, Boris Cooper, Laura Trump at you DVR, Hannity
(30:12):
nine Easter. We'll see you tonight, back here tomorrow. Thank
you for making the show possible.
