Speaker 1 (00:03):
It's that time time, time, time, luck and load. Michael
Verie show is on the air.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
It's not a pleasure to get to buy a boat
or chain.
Speaker 3 (00:23):
Thank you.
Speaker 4 (00:32):
This was a huge, I mean a monumental victory for
President Shop the biggest legal win of this administration so far.
A total embarrassment for crazy Judge Bosburg who's been trying
to force this president to bring foreign alien terraces back
onto American soil, trying to turn our planes around, trying
to empty prisons in foreign countries and bring them back
(00:54):
to our soil. This is a monumental, colossal victory for
the rule of law, for the Constitution, for our founding
generation John Adams who signed this law into effect in
seventeen ninety eight, and for President Trump and fulfilling his man.
Speaker 5 (01:10):
Take the long way. You never see what you want
to see. Paying to the gaty, you take the long way,
take the long lay.
Speaker 6 (01:24):
Well, look, I agree the President's planning on this in
the same plan he hadn't do in the first administration.
You concentrate on the public safety threats and the national
security threats first because they're the worst to the worst.
So it's trum be the worst first. That's how it
has to be done. And we know a record number
of people on the terrorist watch it's across this border.
We know recon number of terrorists have been released in
this country. We've already wrestled some planning attacks. So look,
(01:47):
the President is dead on when he says criminal threats,
national security threats.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
Are going to be prioritized.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
And that's the way it's want to be.
Speaker 7 (01:54):
This is pretty remarkable.
Speaker 8 (01:55):
The Trump administration has taken that controversial CBP one cell
phone out for migrants that the Biden administration was using
and they've repurposed it into a self deportation app.
Speaker 2 (02:06):
The app is now called CBP Home.
Speaker 8 (02:08):
It allows illegal aliens in the US to register.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
To self deport.
Speaker 8 (02:13):
They fill out biographical information including their countries of citizenship,
which country they plan to return to, their alien registration numbers,
their contact information, and it allows them to upload photos
of themselves to confirm their identity.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
All of it is then submitted to CBP and they
leave the country.
Speaker 8 (02:30):
So, in a nutshell, Dana Trump just took Biden's program
which was bringing migrants in and.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
Has now totally repurposed.
Speaker 3 (02:36):
It to get them out.
Speaker 9 (02:37):
The media and our friends in the Democrat Party kept
saying we needed new legislation, We must have legislation to
secure the border.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
But it turned out that all we really needed was
a new president. We should be talking about carabs and China.
These are the serious subjects that a serious nation discusses
(03:06):
and confronts and strategizes. President had a cabinet meeting today
that was televised and you heard adults have conversations about
policies for a nation. And this was so arcane. This
can happen. We can actually run the country this way.
(03:29):
It's glorious. It's just glorious. It's like when you've rooted
for a seller dweller forever and then all of a sudden,
they're good. Wow, this is a nice feeling. We don't
have to bring a brown paper bag to the game
with holes cut out for our eyes to show our
shame at supporting a terrible team. We're a winner now.
(03:52):
It feels so good. It feels so good. And on
this same day, Ron Klain, who was unning the White
House for Joe Biden, was asked about Joe Biden falling apart,
and there was a description of Joe Biden walking outside,
falling into the pool that pulled him out of the pool.
(04:14):
He collapses on a lawn chair and takes a nap
there right in the middle of the day, and everyone
nobody knows if he's died or not. And that was
our president. Wow, Wow, And that wasn't very long ago.
Chuck Roacha is the co host of the podcast The
Latino Vote. He was on CNN and he had some
(04:34):
opinions on President Trump's tariffs and what the president is
trying to accomplish.
Speaker 7 (04:39):
I worked at a.
Speaker 10 (04:40):
Factory when de Factory nineteen eighty nine.
Speaker 7 (04:43):
We made radio passenger tires for cars.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
I worked there with my dad, eight of my uncles,
and twelve of my cousins.
Speaker 7 (04:48):
I was a union steward there that.
Speaker 10 (04:50):
Plant mas sets in China because you can import small
radio passion charge pretty cheap because of our failed trade policy.
In this Democrat's opinion, Donald Trump will use that to
say that we need to fight China, need to bring
those jobs back to America.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
Fell a little pain for.
Speaker 7 (05:02):
A little bit, but I'm rejiggering this whole thing to
make it work for you.
Speaker 10 (05:05):
That's what he's betting on against the pain of what
people are really going to feel and this is what
will be determined in eighteen months.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
To your point, at means the American.
Speaker 10 (05:12):
People would decide which one of these philosophies actually is true.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
That's that's true.
Speaker 3 (05:17):
I mean we all agree, we all agree exactly.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
Let's get read that brought everybody again. CNBC's John four
asked a very good question about tariff's. If tariff's always
dramatically raised prices for you as consumers, why didn't that
happen in twenty eighteen. Why didn't it happen in twenty nineteen.
By and large, tariffs are good for us. And let
(05:40):
me break it down.
Speaker 11 (05:41):
If politics were a video game and the president were
a character you could play, tariff would be your most
powerful economic move. But what's the tower Basically a tax,
and the business has to pay to bring goods into
a country. The USA is uniquely a reasonably big country
with a huge consumer class by global standards, so most
every sizeable company in the world world needs to sell here.
The argument against tariffs is that they just tax the
(06:03):
US consumer. If you say I have to pay one
hundred bucks to bring my one hundred dollars widget over
from China, I'll just charge two hundred dollars for it.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
But it doesn't always work that way.
Speaker 11 (06:12):
What tariffs can also do is encourage companies to avoid
the extra charge by making things here in the US.
Or they can level the playing field for US manufacturers
who are getting crushed by cheap imports. So you can't
just swallow these headlines that claim tariffs are just attacked
on US consumers. If tariffs always dramatically raised prices for consumers,
why did that happen in twenty eighteen and twenty nineteen.
(06:32):
The truth is that the US has been so focused
on making it easy to import goods from other countries
that we've made it reflective for other countries to tariff
US products while we while we let's overseize goods flood in,
and tariffs can't stop that.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
Imposing large tariffs on countries with policies targeting our market
to sell their products and closing their market to ours
predatory policies, that two is not new. Nineteen eighty seven,
Ronald Reagan did just that when he imposed a one
hundred percent tariff on Japanese electronics.
Speaker 12 (07:10):
The store rooms that Highland superstores are packed with Japanese products.
Speaker 3 (07:14):
The Japanese seem to control electronics.
Speaker 12 (07:16):
But today the Reagan administration slapped a huge tariff on
three hundred million dollars worth of Japanese goods on the
list color TV sets, laptop computers, power tools, and calculators.
Speaker 3 (07:28):
This tariff is one hundred percent. That means a TV
that cost a store, say three hundred dollars, will now
cost six hundred.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
I think it's fire gets shot over the bile and
then we'll see how they react to it.
Speaker 12 (07:39):
The US General Accounting Office reported yesterday the Japanese violated
an agreement they signed with our government last year. They're
dumping microchips at prices below cost, and that's hurting American producers.
Speaker 3 (07:51):
Because of that Reagan imposed the tariff, consumers.
Speaker 4 (07:54):
Are going to be paying a lot more money for
these goods, and I would expect that to happen immediately.
Speaker 3 (07:58):
But Hyland expects little or no effect.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
A lot of major brands are made our Japanese companies,
but they're manufactured in the United.
Speaker 3 (08:07):
States and those products will not be affected.
Speaker 12 (08:09):
The tariff's effect less than one half of one percent
of all the goods Japan sends to this country.
Speaker 3 (08:15):
According to Senator Benson.
Speaker 12 (08:16):
The tariff is little and it's late, but he hopes
it sends a message that this time this country will fight.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
Down Michael Barry Show.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
If he doesn't say it, them who will.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
America's natural resources are a blessing that we have exploited
through technology and hard work innovation to create wealth for
our people, convenience and comfort the likes of which the
world had never seen before, on a scale we've never seen.
(08:49):
Fortunes were made and families survived. Jobs were created, Schools
were built, community centers were built, small businesses were built
to serve those communities. Hospitals were built, and the American
people and the American dream was alive and well. And
then the Chinese. Oh, these are some devious, devious people.
(09:12):
The Chinese decided, we will undercut America from within. We
will like poisoning a child with fentanyl, which they've done
to our children, the triads through the cartels, like hooking
a kid on drugs, like poisoning them with gender ideology.
(09:33):
We will poison their people by funding the Democrat Party
to oppose energy so that they won't be able to
power their manufacturing. It'll destroy their economy, it'll leave people
jobless and hopeless. But we don't care because their loss
(09:53):
is our game. It's a zero's gain, it's a zero
some gain. So all the while that the Chinese are
contributing to international initiatives to reduce coal mining and fossil
fuel exploration, they have stepped theirs up. That interesting. President
Trump understands that energy is our power. Cheap, readily available
(10:18):
energy is what allows us to move around, to make
things to heat and cool, to live well. President Trump
signed four executive actions intended to reverse policies that had
moved the country away from coal production in order that
we might revitalize America's beautiful clean coal industry.
Speaker 9 (10:40):
The value of untapped coal in our country is one
hundred times greater than the value all the gold and
Fort Knox, and we're going to unleash it and make
America rich and powerful again. Under this order, I'm also
directing Secretary Right to use billions of dollars in federal
funding to invest in the next generation of coal technology,
which is amazing technology in terms of getting the full
(11:03):
potential of coal and also doing it in a very
clean environmental way. Pound for pound, coal is the single
most reliable, durable, secure, and powerful form of energy there
is on Earth today.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
It's big Steve. You never hear those tapements.
Speaker 9 (11:18):
You know, you've never heard that before from a politician,
have you. Well, maybe from that politician, but not from
not too many. But that's the way it is. I
say it again, pound for pound, coal is the single
most reliable, durable, secure and powerful form of energy. It's cheap,
incredibly efficient, high density, and it's almost indestructible. You could
(11:39):
drop a bomb on it and it's going to be
there for you to use the next day, which you
can't say with any other form of energy.
Speaker 3 (11:48):
Virtually indestructible.
Speaker 9 (11:50):
Most importantly, we have more of it here in America
than anywhere else on Earth.
Speaker 1 (11:55):
Why wouldn't we use our natural resources with which we
were blessed? What did Joe Biden tell coal miners in
New Hampshire learn to code, learn new skills, because you're
not going to get to do that. You're going to
need to learn to work a computer.
Speaker 13 (12:12):
I come from a family where an area where.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
It's coal mining his grant.
Speaker 13 (12:18):
Anybody can go down from three hundred to three thousand
feet in the mind. Sure, and how can learn how
to program as well? But we don't think of it
that way. Even my liberal friends. The President asked me
to get Detroit out of its problems, remember in troying
my bankrupt and he gave me authority to do whatever
I needed to do. So I set up with all
the agencies. What is all the money out there Detroit
(12:40):
could qualify for? They didn't ask for.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
They know how to get it.
Speaker 3 (12:43):
They know how to get it.
Speaker 13 (12:45):
The end result was not just because of me, but
because of the team I put together, Detroit got out
of bankruptcy, started to come back.
Speaker 3 (12:54):
We're able to provide everything from.
Speaker 13 (12:56):
Street lighting for them. Didn't know they could have to
excuse me, inter city rail. That because sixty percent of
the people had jobs out of town, but only sixty percent.
Speaker 1 (13:07):
The people had jobs out of town.
Speaker 13 (13:09):
Where most of them are now manufacturing jobs, didn't have
vehicles to be able to get to work, so we
put it in a rail So anyway, to make a
long story short, things really started to move and then
we found out something interesting. Everybody when things hit went bankrupt,
everybody who had any talent in terms of technology left black, white,
(13:30):
Hispanic man and women. We didn't have anybody, not a joke,
who could turn on the street lights.
Speaker 1 (13:36):
You hear me, not a joke. No one who knew
how to turn on the sour system.
Speaker 13 (13:45):
Because it requires computer capability and programming capability.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
And so we went out and.
Speaker 13 (13:52):
Hired this outfit that the major corporations are in the
need it. They went out into the neighborhoods they found
fifty four happened to be all women not buying attention,
mostly women of color, with a few exceptions ages twenty
four to twenty twenty four to fifty two or four.
They went through a nineteen week training program and the
(14:13):
community college there learning how to program it. And I
remember telling people that my liberal friends were.
Speaker 1 (14:18):
Saying, you can't expect that.
Speaker 5 (14:19):
People too, that will.
Speaker 3 (14:21):
Give me a break.
Speaker 13 (14:23):
Anybody who can throw coal into a furnace, you can
learn how to program.
Speaker 1 (14:27):
For God's sake. Remember when Hillary Clinton vowed that she
was going to put coal miners and coal companies out
of business, American coal miners and American coal companies out
of business.
Speaker 14 (14:43):
I'm the only candidate which has a policy about how
to bring economic opportunity using clean renewable energy as the
key into coal country. Because we're going to put a
lot of coal miners and coal companies out of business.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
Imagine you're the leader of a country telling the people
that you're going to make them miserable. See the problem
with a lot of the mindsets of people who get
into politics and media is you need to understand a
couple of things. A coal corporation is investors who put
(15:23):
their money to work. You know who those investors are
going to end up being teachers. It's going to be
teachers retirements because this has always been a safe, a
proven investment vehicle. You're going to have police officer pensions.
You're going to have pensions of public employees who the
Left would tell you that they care about. You know
(15:43):
why their pensions are invested in things like coal companies
Because it's a good investment. It's a good financial vehicle.
These are the ways that we create wealth in our country.
This idea that everything will be green and everything will
be wonderful and everything will be happy. This fairy dust
(16:06):
and rainbows is how you end up a broken socialist country.
But Michael Berry show, please clap, please police class. It's amazing,
isn't it. How much culture comes from what would be
considered the most uncultured areas. How much art comes from
(16:30):
hardship and poverty. I mean, it's true of black artists
who come out of the slums and the ghettos. It's
true of Dolly Parton, It's true of the redd O Lynn.
It's just interesting, isn't It's it's like a phoenix rising
from the ashes. But it's like this beautiful flower rising
(16:54):
from the most hard dry earth. There's a particular cactus. Momay,
is it you like cactus? Or my wife? No, it's you, yeah, yeah,
Because I asked her which one was the one you like?
Prickly pair? Was it prickly pair? You like them all?
You like cacti? What do you like about cacta? Easy? Okay,
(17:16):
that's none. They do you like that? They like to
be left alone? So I watched I watched the program
the other day on Dolly Pardon and Porter Wagner, and
you know, they were together for seven years on his show,
and she really took it to another level. But to
be clear, the Porter Wagoner Show existed before her and
(17:37):
after her, and he did discover her, and he did
promote her and all of that, and then, as often happens,
he didn't want to let her go, and so he
stifled her and it got ugly and so she writes,
I will always love you, and he says, I'll let
you go if you let me record that, because he
knew he had a big hit on his hands, and
(17:59):
they did and he made good money. And that was
seventy three, seventy four, and then seven in nineteen seventy nine.
She has gone on now to write Joe Lean. She's
gone on to great success. She's moved on beyond him.
And Porter is still in a very narrow country and
Western genre, and his audience has grown older, and his
(18:24):
influence has waned, and his show has waned, and he's
very jealous, and he does something that is not a
good look. He sues Dolli for three million dollars. What
does Dolly do? She settles with him for a million
dollars and by the account of this particular program, didn't
(18:46):
have to didn't owe him anything. She settles with him.
He's bankrupt again within three years. He had a spending problem,
including nudy suits that he would pay nudy more than
you'd pay for a car to have these custom suits made.
And he had a big, lavish home and he spent
like a drunken sailor. And he wasn't replenishing, he wasn't
making much money anymore, and he went through the money
(19:08):
that she gave him and he had a breakdown and
he became a raging alcoholic and his career fell apart.
And who should come back to help him get back
on his feet with Dolly pardon? I mean, the woman
is an angel. I know she's got horrible politics, I know,
but by golly, she is otherwise an angel. She's misguided.
(19:31):
She doesn't know. You get these people, you know, they
got a pretty turn of phrase, and they're entertaining, and
they know how to back their eyes and paint themselves
up and shake their boobs, and they become famous, and
they're never really in the middle, so they don't develop
a good ideological foundation, and they say things that make
(19:53):
people happy that are the wrong people. And that's where
I think she is. And that's why you should never
listen to these people on politics, because they don't know
what they're talking about. So let's go back to Hillary
Clinton saying she's gonna put coal miners and coal companies
out of business. Well, she realized she had messed up.
She figured out pretty fast that she had messed up.
(20:16):
She was confronted by one of the coal miners that
she vowed to put out of business. And these guys
are hot, man. These guys work down in the coal mines.
They're not afraid of a fight. You're not gonna tell
them I'm gonna put you out of business. I'm going
to bankrupt your family. This hard scrabble life you've had,
I'm gonna take even that away. They don't go lightly
(20:36):
on that.
Speaker 15 (20:37):
The reason you hear those people out there saying some
of the things that they say is because when you
make comments we're going to put a lot of coal
miners out of dobs. These are the kind of people
that you're affecting. This is this is my family, what
my hope is in God, that's my future. I just
(20:59):
want to know how you can say if you won't
put a lot of coal miners out of out of jobs,
and then come in here and tell us how you're
going to be our friend.
Speaker 7 (21:08):
Because those people out there don't see you.
Speaker 8 (21:10):
As a fan.
Speaker 16 (21:12):
I know that both, and you know I'm I don't
know how to explain it other than what I said
was totally out of context from what I meant.
Speaker 1 (21:24):
It was out of context for what you meant. You
were very clear, we're going to put coal miners and
coal companies out of business. Oh, what would be the
proper context? Could you play that again for me your own.
Speaker 14 (21:38):
I'm the only candidate which has a policy about how
to bring economic opportunity using clean renewable energy as the
key into cold country. Because we're going to put a
lot of coal miners and coal companies out of business.
Speaker 1 (21:53):
Okay, what context would that be? Exactly? President Trump has
long been a proponent of what he has called and
what is accurately called clean coal. Of course it's Trump,
so he calls it beautiful clean coal.
Speaker 9 (22:14):
We have ended the war on American energy, and we
have ended the war on beautiful clean coal.
Speaker 1 (22:25):
I didn't see the memo.
Speaker 17 (22:29):
No, I was too busy thinking about beautiful cold, beautiful cold.
Speaker 7 (22:41):
I want to see a memo butt out again. Stop
thinking about a beautiful.
Speaker 1 (22:49):
Cold, beautiful cold.
Speaker 7 (22:57):
I love it when is gushki.
Speaker 2 (22:59):
I love it from the rusty melting coat.
Speaker 18 (23:05):
I want to spec of tad alone, just human, because.
Speaker 1 (23:13):
Cold is so beautiful.
Speaker 7 (23:16):
I smelled the sparrow's the way it looks at me.
I want some time alone.
Speaker 1 (23:21):
We called.
Speaker 18 (23:25):
Cor Can we get a brood co just being you
call a monslet the bust of your dust from don.
Speaker 1 (23:38):
It till terms beautiful come.
Speaker 3 (23:45):
I loved it with disgusting.
Speaker 2 (23:47):
I love it from the rusty melt coat.
Speaker 18 (23:53):
No, I want to spencle saddle alone to human Because.
Speaker 1 (24:12):
Michael, I heard y'all doing something on coal. I didn't
understand was okay. So the joke was coal is beautiful,
we love coal, we want to marry coal.
Speaker 19 (24:21):
Let's do more coal. Let's it's it's it's the Joe,
It's Michael Barry's shows.
Speaker 1 (24:33):
Tiffany Cross is one of these women. I'm not saying
every idiot who's black is only there because they're black,
because there are plenty of white liberals on these panels
who are also idiots, and they're just idiots. You know,
they're not necessarily a DEI higher, although they don't. They
don't allow many white liberal men, do you notice that?
But anyway, it tends to be white liberal women and
(24:58):
black women and some black men. And then they'll be
like a Scott Jennings, the white guy who's the conservative,
and he just slices and dices and makes fools of them.
It almost it almost feels unfair, you know, like you're
dunking on the kids and you're thirty five years old.
So Tiffany Cross was an MSNBC host and she's not
(25:20):
very smart, and so it's a little unfair because they
dress her up and you know, she sits through makeup
and she has her hair to and she does all
and then she says the dumbest things and Scott Jennings
just makes her look stupid, just stupid.
Speaker 7 (25:38):
But I'm here for it. We are dependent on so
many things to come out of our biggest adversary, and
they are the enemy, and we should not own minerals una, right, But.
Speaker 20 (25:59):
Like that or not from Michael, they are our biggest
trading partner. And if we were to manufacture iPhones here,
iPhones will cost thirty five hundred dollars.
Speaker 3 (26:05):
The American people are not going to tolerate that.
Speaker 2 (26:06):
We have one of the.
Speaker 20 (26:08):
Highest standards of working conditions here. I don't think that
we can say forget you China.
Speaker 17 (26:13):
They're so you're okay, You're okay if we continue to
put our own economic and national security future in the
hands of our biggest enemy, because effectively, they use slave
labor to build stuff, and that makes it better for us,
but it is terrible.
Speaker 3 (26:30):
I am one hundred.
Speaker 20 (26:30):
Parle not okay with that, but I'm feeling in the reality.
Speaker 1 (26:36):
These people they can't make good policy. They're not smart.
Look when you look at the nations of the world,
you realize that most nations, well over half, have to
be in the bottom half. Why are they in the
bottom half? Because they have corruption, because they have idiots.
(26:57):
These are the kinds of people who are the heads
of other We do better than this. We don't allow
people like this to drive our conversation. We have to
be open and honest, and if it hurts people's feelings,
so be it. I mean, look, in two thousand and six,
then Senator Joe Biden stood on the Senate floor and
declared that China owed us. Why would he say this, folks,
(27:22):
we have mortgage our foreign policy. Everyone's out there going,
oh my god, how in God's name?
Speaker 5 (27:28):
You know?
Speaker 3 (27:29):
The Chinese came here, the president didn't get anything.
Speaker 1 (27:32):
Guess what they own us. In twenty eleven, Chuck Schumer
declared that we were in a trade war with China.
Speaker 2 (27:41):
Our economic relationship with China needs a fundamental change. Whether
it's poaching intellectual property, unfairly and illegally subsidizing Chinese businesses,
monopolizing rare earths, not allowing American companies to compete in China.
(28:02):
On issue after issue after issue, Americans have grimaced, shrugged
their shoulders, but never done anything effective to enlarge measure
stop the Chinese pursuit of unfair mercantilism. The Administration must
impose duties on those imports to offset or countervail to
(28:26):
benefit conferred on foreign producers and exporters by government subsidies.
We're already in a trade war with China, and we're
losing China by its mercantilist policies on currency above all,
but on rare earth and intellectual property, on subsidization of
homegrown industries, on exclusion of American exports where we might
(28:48):
have advantage. They're already engaged in a trade war, and
the result is that millions of Americans don't have jobs
that should. The result is that one hundreds of billions
of dollars flow out of America into China. And if
we don't do anything about this, our country will be
(29:09):
hurt badly, perhaps irreparably. Large companies say nothing because most
of them have plants in China, so they can get
around it. But middle and small sized manufacturers are up
against this wall and.
Speaker 1 (29:24):
Puled for paulses from home. This is Chuck Schumer in
twenty eleven.
Speaker 7 (29:32):
Was he lying the enner?
Speaker 1 (29:33):
Is he lying now? Our trade imbalance with China has
grown worse in the fourteen years since he said this.
We've lost industries, we've lost jobs. We've lost our competitive
advantage with them in a number of fields because our
(29:55):
company's closed and moved. We've outsourced so many things to
them that we once did. Small and medium sized American
businesses are struggling in so many fields. It's fourteen years
since he said these things, and Trump's doing something about it,
(30:21):
and they say, no, no, no, China is our dear friend.
Speaker 2 (30:25):
Bible battling subsidized Chinese exports, high end exports. This is
no longer an argument about labor intensive industries alone. I
for one, am not prepared to raise the white flag
on American manufacturing and on American jobs, and neither should
anybody else. I know that American manufacturing can compete successfully
(30:49):
against Chinese competition at home, in China and around the world,
but only if the level if the playing field is level,
But because nobody does anything, China is embolded to pursue
mercantilist policies in other areas, just recently in rare earths,
where they tell American manufacturers, if you want rare earths,
you'd be a lot better off sending your plant to China.
(31:12):
It's just unheard of. Should we continue to sit back
and watch watch while American jobs and American manufacturers, and
even large chunks of American wealth just drift away? Should
we continue to as one of my constituents put it,
(31:35):
be not Uncle Sam, but Uncle Sap. We simply have
no choice but to right the wrong that China is committing.
Any retaliation by China would be further evidence of their
unwillingness to meet their obligations under the WTO in the
global trade community. And by the way, China has a
(31:58):
lot more to lose with retaliation then we do. Because
if there's one country that gains the most by exporting
to the US by international trade, it's China. And they
are very, very smart, and they're not going to cut
their nose despite their face if we don't take concrete
action to address the protectionist practices of foreign governments who
(32:21):
can see tariff rejections only to replace tariffs with massive
currency manipulation, border taxes, and a variety of state subsidies.
It's not a democratic or Republican issue, mister President. Every
one of US has manufacturers, companies that are struggling to
compete at home and abroad with Chinese exports with a
built in price advantage. It's not China bashing. It's about
(32:44):
fairness and defending American job.
Speaker 1 (32:47):
Simply using the Democrats' words against them, Trump is solving
the problem they claim, they want it solved, and they
hate him for it. Zero
It's that time time, time, time, luck and load. Michael
Verie show is on the air.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
It's not a pleasure to get to buy a boat
or chain.
Speaker 3 (00:23):
Thank you.
Speaker 4 (00:32):
This was a huge, I mean a monumental victory for
President Shop the biggest legal win of this administration so far.
A total embarrassment for crazy Judge Bosburg who's been trying
to force this president to bring foreign alien terraces back
onto American soil, trying to turn our planes around, trying
to empty prisons in foreign countries and bring them back
(00:54):
to our soil. This is a monumental, colossal victory for
the rule of law, for the Constitution, for our founding
generation John Adams who signed this law into effect in
seventeen ninety eight, and for President Trump and fulfilling his man.
Speaker 5 (01:10):
Take the long way. You never see what you want
to see. Paying to the gaty, you take the long way,
take the long lay.
Speaker 6 (01:24):
Well, look, I agree the President's planning on this in
the same plan he hadn't do in the first administration.
You concentrate on the public safety threats and the national
security threats first because they're the worst to the worst.
So it's trum be the worst first. That's how it
has to be done. And we know a record number
of people on the terrorist watch it's across this border.
We know recon number of terrorists have been released in
this country. We've already wrestled some planning attacks. So look,
(01:47):
the President is dead on when he says criminal threats,
national security threats.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
Are going to be prioritized.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
And that's the way it's want to be.
Speaker 7 (01:54):
This is pretty remarkable.
Speaker 8 (01:55):
The Trump administration has taken that controversial CBP one cell
phone out for migrants that the Biden administration was using
and they've repurposed it into a self deportation app.
Speaker 2 (02:06):
The app is now called CBP Home.
Speaker 8 (02:08):
It allows illegal aliens in the US to register.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
To self deport.
Speaker 8 (02:13):
They fill out biographical information including their countries of citizenship,
which country they plan to return to, their alien registration numbers,
their contact information, and it allows them to upload photos
of themselves to confirm their identity.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
All of it is then submitted to CBP and they
leave the country.
Speaker 8 (02:30):
So, in a nutshell, Dana Trump just took Biden's program
which was bringing migrants in and.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
Has now totally repurposed.
Speaker 3 (02:36):
It to get them out.
Speaker 9 (02:37):
The media and our friends in the Democrat Party kept
saying we needed new legislation, We must have legislation to
secure the border.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
But it turned out that all we really needed was
a new president. We should be talking about carabs and China.
These are the serious subjects that a serious nation discusses
(03:06):
and confronts and strategizes. President had a cabinet meeting today
that was televised and you heard adults have conversations about
policies for a nation. And this was so arcane. This
can happen. We can actually run the country this way.
(03:29):
It's glorious. It's just glorious. It's like when you've rooted
for a seller dweller forever and then all of a sudden,
they're good. Wow, this is a nice feeling. We don't
have to bring a brown paper bag to the game
with holes cut out for our eyes to show our
shame at supporting a terrible team. We're a winner now.
(03:52):
It feels so good. It feels so good. And on
this same day, Ron Klain, who was unning the White
House for Joe Biden, was asked about Joe Biden falling apart,
and there was a description of Joe Biden walking outside,
falling into the pool that pulled him out of the pool.
(04:14):
He collapses on a lawn chair and takes a nap
there right in the middle of the day, and everyone
nobody knows if he's died or not. And that was
our president. Wow, Wow, And that wasn't very long ago.
Chuck Roacha is the co host of the podcast The
Latino Vote. He was on CNN and he had some
(04:34):
opinions on President Trump's tariffs and what the president is
trying to accomplish.
Speaker 7 (04:39):
I worked at a.
Speaker 10 (04:40):
Factory when de Factory nineteen eighty nine.
Speaker 7 (04:43):
We made radio passenger tires for cars.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
I worked there with my dad, eight of my uncles,
and twelve of my cousins.
Speaker 7 (04:48):
I was a union steward there that.
Speaker 10 (04:50):
Plant mas sets in China because you can import small
radio passion charge pretty cheap because of our failed trade policy.
In this Democrat's opinion, Donald Trump will use that to
say that we need to fight China, need to bring
those jobs back to America.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
Fell a little pain for.
Speaker 7 (05:02):
A little bit, but I'm rejiggering this whole thing to
make it work for you.
Speaker 10 (05:05):
That's what he's betting on against the pain of what
people are really going to feel and this is what
will be determined in eighteen months.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
To your point, at means the American.
Speaker 10 (05:12):
People would decide which one of these philosophies actually is true.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
That's that's true.
Speaker 3 (05:17):
I mean we all agree, we all agree exactly.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
Let's get read that brought everybody again. CNBC's John four
asked a very good question about tariff's. If tariff's always
dramatically raised prices for you as consumers, why didn't that
happen in twenty eighteen. Why didn't it happen in twenty nineteen.
By and large, tariffs are good for us. And let
(05:40):
me break it down.
Speaker 11 (05:41):
If politics were a video game and the president were
a character you could play, tariff would be your most
powerful economic move. But what's the tower Basically a tax,
and the business has to pay to bring goods into
a country. The USA is uniquely a reasonably big country
with a huge consumer class by global standards, so most
every sizeable company in the world world needs to sell here.
The argument against tariffs is that they just tax the
(06:03):
US consumer. If you say I have to pay one
hundred bucks to bring my one hundred dollars widget over
from China, I'll just charge two hundred dollars for it.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
But it doesn't always work that way.
Speaker 11 (06:12):
What tariffs can also do is encourage companies to avoid
the extra charge by making things here in the US.
Or they can level the playing field for US manufacturers
who are getting crushed by cheap imports. So you can't
just swallow these headlines that claim tariffs are just attacked
on US consumers. If tariffs always dramatically raised prices for consumers,
why did that happen in twenty eighteen and twenty nineteen.
(06:32):
The truth is that the US has been so focused
on making it easy to import goods from other countries
that we've made it reflective for other countries to tariff
US products while we while we let's overseize goods flood in,
and tariffs can't stop that.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
Imposing large tariffs on countries with policies targeting our market
to sell their products and closing their market to ours
predatory policies, that two is not new. Nineteen eighty seven,
Ronald Reagan did just that when he imposed a one
hundred percent tariff on Japanese electronics.
Speaker 12 (07:10):
The store rooms that Highland superstores are packed with Japanese products.
Speaker 3 (07:14):
The Japanese seem to control electronics.
Speaker 12 (07:16):
But today the Reagan administration slapped a huge tariff on
three hundred million dollars worth of Japanese goods on the
list color TV sets, laptop computers, power tools, and calculators.
Speaker 3 (07:28):
This tariff is one hundred percent. That means a TV
that cost a store, say three hundred dollars, will now
cost six hundred.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
I think it's fire gets shot over the bile and
then we'll see how they react to it.
Speaker 12 (07:39):
The US General Accounting Office reported yesterday the Japanese violated
an agreement they signed with our government last year. They're
dumping microchips at prices below cost, and that's hurting American producers.
Speaker 3 (07:51):
Because of that Reagan imposed the tariff, consumers.
Speaker 4 (07:54):
Are going to be paying a lot more money for
these goods, and I would expect that to happen immediately.
Speaker 3 (07:58):
But Hyland expects little or no effect.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
A lot of major brands are made our Japanese companies,
but they're manufactured in the United.
Speaker 3 (08:07):
States and those products will not be affected.
Speaker 12 (08:09):
The tariff's effect less than one half of one percent
of all the goods Japan sends to this country.
Speaker 3 (08:15):
According to Senator Benson.
Speaker 12 (08:16):
The tariff is little and it's late, but he hopes
it sends a message that this time this country will fight.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
Down Michael Barry Show.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
If he doesn't say it, them who will.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
America's natural resources are a blessing that we have exploited
through technology and hard work innovation to create wealth for
our people, convenience and comfort the likes of which the
world had never seen before, on a scale we've never seen.
(08:49):
Fortunes were made and families survived. Jobs were created, Schools
were built, community centers were built, small businesses were built
to serve those communities. Hospitals were built, and the American
people and the American dream was alive and well. And
then the Chinese. Oh, these are some devious, devious people.
(09:12):
The Chinese decided, we will undercut America from within. We
will like poisoning a child with fentanyl, which they've done
to our children, the triads through the cartels, like hooking
a kid on drugs, like poisoning them with gender ideology.
(09:33):
We will poison their people by funding the Democrat Party
to oppose energy so that they won't be able to
power their manufacturing. It'll destroy their economy, it'll leave people
jobless and hopeless. But we don't care because their loss
(09:53):
is our game. It's a zero's gain, it's a zero
some gain. So all the while that the Chinese are
contributing to international initiatives to reduce coal mining and fossil
fuel exploration, they have stepped theirs up. That interesting. President
Trump understands that energy is our power. Cheap, readily available
(10:18):
energy is what allows us to move around, to make
things to heat and cool, to live well. President Trump
signed four executive actions intended to reverse policies that had
moved the country away from coal production in order that
we might revitalize America's beautiful clean coal industry.
Speaker 9 (10:40):
The value of untapped coal in our country is one
hundred times greater than the value all the gold and
Fort Knox, and we're going to unleash it and make
America rich and powerful again. Under this order, I'm also
directing Secretary Right to use billions of dollars in federal
funding to invest in the next generation of coal technology,
which is amazing technology in terms of getting the full
(11:03):
potential of coal and also doing it in a very
clean environmental way. Pound for pound, coal is the single
most reliable, durable, secure, and powerful form of energy there
is on Earth today.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
It's big Steve. You never hear those tapements.
Speaker 9 (11:18):
You know, you've never heard that before from a politician,
have you. Well, maybe from that politician, but not from
not too many. But that's the way it is. I
say it again, pound for pound, coal is the single
most reliable, durable, secure and powerful form of energy. It's cheap,
incredibly efficient, high density, and it's almost indestructible. You could
(11:39):
drop a bomb on it and it's going to be
there for you to use the next day, which you
can't say with any other form of energy.
Speaker 3 (11:48):
Virtually indestructible.
Speaker 9 (11:50):
Most importantly, we have more of it here in America
than anywhere else on Earth.
Speaker 1 (11:55):
Why wouldn't we use our natural resources with which we
were blessed? What did Joe Biden tell coal miners in
New Hampshire learn to code, learn new skills, because you're
not going to get to do that. You're going to
need to learn to work a computer.
Speaker 13 (12:12):
I come from a family where an area where.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
It's coal mining his grant.
Speaker 13 (12:18):
Anybody can go down from three hundred to three thousand
feet in the mind. Sure, and how can learn how
to program as well? But we don't think of it
that way. Even my liberal friends. The President asked me
to get Detroit out of its problems, remember in troying
my bankrupt and he gave me authority to do whatever
I needed to do. So I set up with all
the agencies. What is all the money out there Detroit
(12:40):
could qualify for? They didn't ask for.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
They know how to get it.
Speaker 3 (12:43):
They know how to get it.
Speaker 13 (12:45):
The end result was not just because of me, but
because of the team I put together, Detroit got out
of bankruptcy, started to come back.
Speaker 3 (12:54):
We're able to provide everything from.
Speaker 13 (12:56):
Street lighting for them. Didn't know they could have to
excuse me, inter city rail. That because sixty percent of
the people had jobs out of town, but only sixty percent.
Speaker 1 (13:07):
The people had jobs out of town.
Speaker 13 (13:09):
Where most of them are now manufacturing jobs, didn't have
vehicles to be able to get to work, so we
put it in a rail So anyway, to make a
long story short, things really started to move and then
we found out something interesting. Everybody when things hit went bankrupt,
everybody who had any talent in terms of technology left black, white,
(13:30):
Hispanic man and women. We didn't have anybody, not a joke,
who could turn on the street lights.
Speaker 1 (13:36):
You hear me, not a joke. No one who knew
how to turn on the sour system.
Speaker 13 (13:45):
Because it requires computer capability and programming capability.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
And so we went out and.
Speaker 13 (13:52):
Hired this outfit that the major corporations are in the
need it. They went out into the neighborhoods they found
fifty four happened to be all women not buying attention,
mostly women of color, with a few exceptions ages twenty
four to twenty twenty four to fifty two or four.
They went through a nineteen week training program and the
(14:13):
community college there learning how to program it. And I
remember telling people that my liberal friends were.
Speaker 1 (14:18):
Saying, you can't expect that.
Speaker 5 (14:19):
People too, that will.
Speaker 3 (14:21):
Give me a break.
Speaker 13 (14:23):
Anybody who can throw coal into a furnace, you can
learn how to program.
Speaker 1 (14:27):
For God's sake. Remember when Hillary Clinton vowed that she
was going to put coal miners and coal companies out
of business, American coal miners and American coal companies out
of business.
Speaker 14 (14:43):
I'm the only candidate which has a policy about how
to bring economic opportunity using clean renewable energy as the
key into coal country. Because we're going to put a
lot of coal miners and coal companies out of business.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
Imagine you're the leader of a country telling the people
that you're going to make them miserable. See the problem
with a lot of the mindsets of people who get
into politics and media is you need to understand a
couple of things. A coal corporation is investors who put
(15:23):
their money to work. You know who those investors are
going to end up being teachers. It's going to be
teachers retirements because this has always been a safe, a
proven investment vehicle. You're going to have police officer pensions.
You're going to have pensions of public employees who the
Left would tell you that they care about. You know
(15:43):
why their pensions are invested in things like coal companies
Because it's a good investment. It's a good financial vehicle.
These are the ways that we create wealth in our country.
This idea that everything will be green and everything will
be wonderful and everything will be happy. This fairy dust
(16:06):
and rainbows is how you end up a broken socialist country.
But Michael Berry show, please clap, please police class. It's amazing,
isn't it. How much culture comes from what would be
considered the most uncultured areas. How much art comes from
(16:30):
hardship and poverty. I mean, it's true of black artists
who come out of the slums and the ghettos. It's
true of Dolly Parton, It's true of the redd O Lynn.
It's just interesting, isn't It's it's like a phoenix rising
from the ashes. But it's like this beautiful flower rising
(16:54):
from the most hard dry earth. There's a particular cactus. Momay,
is it you like cactus? Or my wife? No, it's you, yeah, yeah,
Because I asked her which one was the one you like?
Prickly pair? Was it prickly pair? You like them all?
You like cacti? What do you like about cacta? Easy? Okay,
(17:16):
that's none. They do you like that? They like to
be left alone? So I watched I watched the program
the other day on Dolly Pardon and Porter Wagner, and
you know, they were together for seven years on his show,
and she really took it to another level. But to
be clear, the Porter Wagoner Show existed before her and
(17:37):
after her, and he did discover her, and he did
promote her and all of that, and then, as often happens,
he didn't want to let her go, and so he
stifled her and it got ugly and so she writes,
I will always love you, and he says, I'll let
you go if you let me record that, because he
knew he had a big hit on his hands, and
(17:59):
they did and he made good money. And that was
seventy three, seventy four, and then seven in nineteen seventy nine.
She has gone on now to write Joe Lean. She's
gone on to great success. She's moved on beyond him.
And Porter is still in a very narrow country and
Western genre, and his audience has grown older, and his
(18:24):
influence has waned, and his show has waned, and he's
very jealous, and he does something that is not a
good look. He sues Dolli for three million dollars. What
does Dolly do? She settles with him for a million
dollars and by the account of this particular program, didn't
(18:46):
have to didn't owe him anything. She settles with him.
He's bankrupt again within three years. He had a spending problem,
including nudy suits that he would pay nudy more than
you'd pay for a car to have these custom suits made.
And he had a big, lavish home and he spent
like a drunken sailor. And he wasn't replenishing, he wasn't
making much money anymore, and he went through the money
(19:08):
that she gave him and he had a breakdown and
he became a raging alcoholic and his career fell apart.
And who should come back to help him get back
on his feet with Dolly pardon? I mean, the woman
is an angel. I know she's got horrible politics, I know,
but by golly, she is otherwise an angel. She's misguided.
(19:31):
She doesn't know. You get these people, you know, they
got a pretty turn of phrase, and they're entertaining, and
they know how to back their eyes and paint themselves
up and shake their boobs, and they become famous, and
they're never really in the middle, so they don't develop
a good ideological foundation, and they say things that make
(19:53):
people happy that are the wrong people. And that's where
I think she is. And that's why you should never
listen to these people on politics, because they don't know
what they're talking about. So let's go back to Hillary
Clinton saying she's gonna put coal miners and coal companies
out of business. Well, she realized she had messed up.
She figured out pretty fast that she had messed up.
(20:16):
She was confronted by one of the coal miners that
she vowed to put out of business. And these guys
are hot, man. These guys work down in the coal mines.
They're not afraid of a fight. You're not gonna tell
them I'm gonna put you out of business. I'm going
to bankrupt your family. This hard scrabble life you've had,
I'm gonna take even that away. They don't go lightly
(20:36):
on that.
Speaker 15 (20:37):
The reason you hear those people out there saying some
of the things that they say is because when you
make comments we're going to put a lot of coal
miners out of dobs. These are the kind of people
that you're affecting. This is this is my family, what
my hope is in God, that's my future. I just
(20:59):
want to know how you can say if you won't
put a lot of coal miners out of out of jobs,
and then come in here and tell us how you're
going to be our friend.
Speaker 7 (21:08):
Because those people out there don't see you.
Speaker 8 (21:10):
As a fan.
Speaker 16 (21:12):
I know that both, and you know I'm I don't
know how to explain it other than what I said
was totally out of context from what I meant.
Speaker 1 (21:24):
It was out of context for what you meant. You
were very clear, we're going to put coal miners and
coal companies out of business. Oh, what would be the
proper context? Could you play that again for me your own.
Speaker 14 (21:38):
I'm the only candidate which has a policy about how
to bring economic opportunity using clean renewable energy as the
key into cold country. Because we're going to put a
lot of coal miners and coal companies out of business.
Speaker 1 (21:53):
Okay, what context would that be? Exactly? President Trump has
long been a proponent of what he has called and
what is accurately called clean coal. Of course it's Trump,
so he calls it beautiful clean coal.
Speaker 9 (22:14):
We have ended the war on American energy, and we
have ended the war on beautiful clean coal.
Speaker 1 (22:25):
I didn't see the memo.
Speaker 17 (22:29):
No, I was too busy thinking about beautiful cold, beautiful cold.
Speaker 7 (22:41):
I want to see a memo butt out again. Stop
thinking about a beautiful.
Speaker 1 (22:49):
Cold, beautiful cold.
Speaker 7 (22:57):
I love it when is gushki.
Speaker 2 (22:59):
I love it from the rusty melting coat.
Speaker 18 (23:05):
I want to spec of tad alone, just human, because.
Speaker 1 (23:13):
Cold is so beautiful.
Speaker 7 (23:16):
I smelled the sparrow's the way it looks at me.
I want some time alone.
Speaker 1 (23:21):
We called.
Speaker 18 (23:25):
Cor Can we get a brood co just being you
call a monslet the bust of your dust from don.
Speaker 1 (23:38):
It till terms beautiful come.
Speaker 3 (23:45):
I loved it with disgusting.
Speaker 2 (23:47):
I love it from the rusty melt coat.
Speaker 18 (23:53):
No, I want to spencle saddle alone to human Because.
Speaker 1 (24:12):
Michael, I heard y'all doing something on coal. I didn't
understand was okay. So the joke was coal is beautiful,
we love coal, we want to marry coal.
Speaker 19 (24:21):
Let's do more coal. Let's it's it's it's the Joe,
It's Michael Barry's shows.
Speaker 1 (24:33):
Tiffany Cross is one of these women. I'm not saying
every idiot who's black is only there because they're black,
because there are plenty of white liberals on these panels
who are also idiots, and they're just idiots. You know,
they're not necessarily a DEI higher, although they don't. They
don't allow many white liberal men, do you notice that?
But anyway, it tends to be white liberal women and
(24:58):
black women and some black men. And then they'll be
like a Scott Jennings, the white guy who's the conservative,
and he just slices and dices and makes fools of them.
It almost it almost feels unfair, you know, like you're
dunking on the kids and you're thirty five years old.
So Tiffany Cross was an MSNBC host and she's not
(25:20):
very smart, and so it's a little unfair because they
dress her up and you know, she sits through makeup
and she has her hair to and she does all
and then she says the dumbest things and Scott Jennings
just makes her look stupid, just stupid.
Speaker 7 (25:38):
But I'm here for it. We are dependent on so
many things to come out of our biggest adversary, and
they are the enemy, and we should not own minerals una, right, But.
Speaker 20 (25:59):
Like that or not from Michael, they are our biggest
trading partner. And if we were to manufacture iPhones here,
iPhones will cost thirty five hundred dollars.
Speaker 3 (26:05):
The American people are not going to tolerate that.
Speaker 2 (26:06):
We have one of the.
Speaker 20 (26:08):
Highest standards of working conditions here. I don't think that
we can say forget you China.
Speaker 17 (26:13):
They're so you're okay, You're okay if we continue to
put our own economic and national security future in the
hands of our biggest enemy, because effectively, they use slave
labor to build stuff, and that makes it better for us,
but it is terrible.
Speaker 3 (26:30):
I am one hundred.
Speaker 20 (26:30):
Parle not okay with that, but I'm feeling in the reality.
Speaker 1 (26:36):
These people they can't make good policy. They're not smart.
Look when you look at the nations of the world,
you realize that most nations, well over half, have to
be in the bottom half. Why are they in the
bottom half? Because they have corruption, because they have idiots.
(26:57):
These are the kinds of people who are the heads
of other We do better than this. We don't allow
people like this to drive our conversation. We have to
be open and honest, and if it hurts people's feelings,
so be it. I mean, look, in two thousand and six,
then Senator Joe Biden stood on the Senate floor and
declared that China owed us. Why would he say this, folks,
(27:22):
we have mortgage our foreign policy. Everyone's out there going,
oh my god, how in God's name?
Speaker 5 (27:28):
You know?
Speaker 3 (27:29):
The Chinese came here, the president didn't get anything.
Speaker 1 (27:32):
Guess what they own us. In twenty eleven, Chuck Schumer
declared that we were in a trade war with China.
Speaker 2 (27:41):
Our economic relationship with China needs a fundamental change. Whether
it's poaching intellectual property, unfairly and illegally subsidizing Chinese businesses,
monopolizing rare earths, not allowing American companies to compete in China.
(28:02):
On issue after issue after issue, Americans have grimaced, shrugged
their shoulders, but never done anything effective to enlarge measure
stop the Chinese pursuit of unfair mercantilism. The Administration must
impose duties on those imports to offset or countervail to
(28:26):
benefit conferred on foreign producers and exporters by government subsidies.
We're already in a trade war with China, and we're
losing China by its mercantilist policies on currency above all,
but on rare earth and intellectual property, on subsidization of
homegrown industries, on exclusion of American exports where we might
(28:48):
have advantage. They're already engaged in a trade war, and
the result is that millions of Americans don't have jobs
that should. The result is that one hundreds of billions
of dollars flow out of America into China. And if
we don't do anything about this, our country will be
(29:09):
hurt badly, perhaps irreparably. Large companies say nothing because most
of them have plants in China, so they can get
around it. But middle and small sized manufacturers are up
against this wall and.
Speaker 1 (29:24):
Puled for paulses from home. This is Chuck Schumer in
twenty eleven.
Speaker 7 (29:32):
Was he lying the enner?
Speaker 1 (29:33):
Is he lying now? Our trade imbalance with China has
grown worse in the fourteen years since he said this.
We've lost industries, we've lost jobs. We've lost our competitive
advantage with them in a number of fields because our
(29:55):
company's closed and moved. We've outsourced so many things to
them that we once did. Small and medium sized American
businesses are struggling in so many fields. It's fourteen years
since he said these things, and Trump's doing something about it,
(30:21):
and they say, no, no, no, China is our dear friend.
Speaker 2 (30:25):
Bible battling subsidized Chinese exports, high end exports. This is
no longer an argument about labor intensive industries alone. I
for one, am not prepared to raise the white flag
on American manufacturing and on American jobs, and neither should
anybody else. I know that American manufacturing can compete successfully
(30:49):
against Chinese competition at home, in China and around the world,
but only if the level if the playing field is level,
But because nobody does anything, China is embolded to pursue
mercantilist policies in other areas, just recently in rare earths,
where they tell American manufacturers, if you want rare earths,
you'd be a lot better off sending your plant to China.
(31:12):
It's just unheard of. Should we continue to sit back
and watch watch while American jobs and American manufacturers, and
even large chunks of American wealth just drift away? Should
we continue to as one of my constituents put it,
(31:35):
be not Uncle Sam, but Uncle Sap. We simply have
no choice but to right the wrong that China is committing.
Any retaliation by China would be further evidence of their
unwillingness to meet their obligations under the WTO in the
global trade community. And by the way, China has a
(31:58):
lot more to lose with retaliation then we do. Because
if there's one country that gains the most by exporting
to the US by international trade, it's China. And they
are very, very smart, and they're not going to cut
their nose despite their face if we don't take concrete
action to address the protectionist practices of foreign governments who
(32:21):
can see tariff rejections only to replace tariffs with massive
currency manipulation, border taxes, and a variety of state subsidies.
It's not a democratic or Republican issue, mister President. Every
one of US has manufacturers, companies that are struggling to
compete at home and abroad with Chinese exports with a
built in price advantage. It's not China bashing. It's about
(32:44):
fairness and defending American job.
Speaker 1 (32:47):
Simply using the Democrats' words against them, Trump is solving
the problem they claim, they want it solved, and they
hate him for it. Zero
