Speaker 1 (00:00):
Now we're here. Relax, everybody, you're here, present, sir. The
year was nineteen ninety two. Countries global economic powers, the
United States and China, when placed side by side, had
slightly different numbers of countries in which they were the
top exporter. The United States at the time was the
top exporter to one hundred and seventy five countries. We
(00:23):
were producing products and distributing them to a triple digit
number of countries, three over one hundred and seventy five.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
Is this going to be on the test? Yes? Yeah,
you should write this down. I've got to take notes.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
China at the time had eight countries. They were the
top exporter too.
Speaker 3 (00:40):
Eight.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
Uh, that's say stupid China.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
As time went on, this number began to change. In
the two thousands, our country dropped about twenty top exporterer
to one hundred and fifty five countries. China gained some
countries fifteen. By the twenty tens, it was getting neck
and neck. Here we were the top export to eighty
five countries. They were the top exporter to fifty five.
And then over the past fifteen years or so, by
(01:04):
twenty twenty four, we became the top export to thirty
five countries. China became the top export to one hundred
and twenty five countries. Huh, roles are reverse, Yeah completely,
And one may wonder, well, how did that happen. It
happened with tariffs, trade wars.
Speaker 4 (01:24):
But it was the good kind of tariffs, the ones
that other countries put on us, and we're supposed to
just bend over and take that and say yes. Because
America is so great and so wealthy. We feel guilty.
It's like that white guilt that we have, you know,
so around the world we just felt so bad for
the other countries.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
We let them take advantage of us.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
Yeah, these tariffs were inclusive, they were egalitarian, they were
LGBTQ supportive, they were trans friendly.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
They were allies to the BLM movement.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
These were tariffs everything you ever wanted in a right
whereas Donald Trump's tear effs. Now, they're just rich and white,
that's all they are. Do you remember during Trump one
point zero twenty seventeen to twenty twenty, something that you
heard over and over again from people on the left
was that what happens on Wall Street isn't what happens
(02:18):
on Main Street, just because Trump's stock market's doing great. Yep,
that was not a sign of a good economy at all.
It wasn't a sign of a good economy. What about
the things for the working class? And now his economic
strategy is obviously shifted, and clearly what's going on right
now is not necessarily good for Wall Street. Of course,
(02:39):
it's supposed to be good for Main Street in the
long run, and nobody knows if it will be yet.
I will say this, if you're a day trader and
you made some good bets yesterday with all that volatility,
there is actually a chance you made money. But I
don't think anybody knows how to predict what's going on
with this market right now. Marjorie Taylor Green yesterday posted
a list of all the stocks she was buying well
(03:01):
things are on sale, as she put it, and it's
quite an interesting list. It includes a lot of the
biggest companies in America, Nike, for example, Google, things like
that were on the list. If I'm not mistaken, Some
people thought that was an odd strategy for her to
do that. She didn't explain how much she bought. She
just explained that she bought it, and I don't know,
(03:24):
I mean, she's probably right. Marjorie Taylor Green making stock
market plays.
Speaker 4 (03:29):
No matter what she bought. She's attempting to show her
confidence in the economy, in the future of the stock market,
and the fact that she believes these moves, these tactics
are going to work.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
The list includes things like what is this Amazon, Caterpillar,
Dell Computers. I don't claim to know all these tickers,
but is Lulu? Is that Lululemon? She bought Lulu Lemon stock? WHOA,
that's really offensive to the Japanese. There's Apple, I recognize
that one. I will tell you I'm not a professional
stock trader, but I bought some of this stuff yesterday.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
Is one of them.
Speaker 4 (04:03):
I say, it looks like UPS, and I've been kind
of bullish, as they say, without actually doing anything about it.
Of all that, I just quit. I don't I don't
bother doing all that. I've always thought these delivery services,
the FedEx, the Ups, they've got to be making some money.
(04:24):
I mean, just in the neighborhood. In the last five years,
everywhere you go anybody's neighborhood, there's Ups and FedEx trucks
up and down the street, parked in front of the driveways,
they're everywhere all the time. How are they not just
cashing in on all this. I don't want to leave
the house to go shopping anymore. I don't want to
(04:45):
leave the house to get food anymore. I just want
everything brought to my door. I do the same thing.
I'm not criticizing. I'm just saying, look look at the
traffic out there.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
It is kind of wild how much stuff you can
get delivered to your house if you want. Are there
are people now just driving cars around all day long
telling you how they can't find a job, but they're
working for Uber or Left or whatever.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
Door dash Yep.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
It's an The economy is odd right now because it
seems like this gap between the upper and upper middle
class and the working class is pretty widely divided. If
there's a group of people out there that can't be
bothered to buy their own groceries, and then and also
a group of people that are so desperate to find
work they'll go pick up the groceries for you for
(05:30):
a ten dollars tip, right, And there seems to be
plenty of people in both groups.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
But what about that middle group there?
Speaker 1 (05:39):
The working class and the upper middle class used to
have another group in between them. What happened to those guys?
They're still around, We still have a trying to get
rid of that. Yeah, yeah, let's maybe we could get
that middle class on life support.
Speaker 4 (05:52):
Well, I just I'm happy to know that with all
these problems that we're having, AOC is doing everything she
can to fight the oligarchy, which is government with the
power in the government rests in the hands of the few,
(06:13):
the small number of people ruling the large number of people.
That just sounds like any kind of government really, But
AOC says, you know, she is all about income inequality.
Got to fight that, climate change, got to fight that.
So she hops on a first class jet blue flight
(06:34):
to Vegas from d C.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
Sure, first class.
Speaker 4 (06:37):
Yeah, in first class, where a she can ignore any
of the constituents that might happen to be on the plane.
That smart could you know, maybe have a conversation with
and find out what the regular people out in the
world are doing. But the regular people are in first
class with her. She's going to fight the oligarchy. At
a Bernie Sanders event, who is how do they yesterday
(07:00):
somebody referred to me as like the richest.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
Millionaire socialist.
Speaker 4 (07:07):
Well, anti capitalist in the United States, and so to
fight climate change, she jets off in first class. By
the way, first class is worse for the climate.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
You know that. I mean, claritats are bigger.
Speaker 4 (07:21):
You can't more legrom wueeze as many people into the
not to mention.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
The carbon footprint from all the food they're going to
give you.
Speaker 4 (07:27):
That's right now. The income equality is obvious. That flight
was probably over one thousand dollars. Sure it would be
for me anyway, but not for her. And then the
whole hypocrisy thing, which she learned hypocrisy from some of
the best hypocrites that the United States has ever produced.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
Yeah, that's well articulated, my friend. And yesterday Louisiana's Senator
John Kennedy had a retort to what was going on
with little Alexandria Casio Cortez.
Speaker 3 (07:56):
What do you think of the new leadership, Jasmine aoc
and Ernie I can shoed her Congresswoman Okayo court Tez
to be the leader of the Democratic Party. She's entitled
to her opinion. I'm entitled to man. As I've said
about him before, I think she's the reason there are
directions on Shampoova.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
Here, early rise and grind. That's what you do, is
what that is? Just what day it is? You know
what today is day Bolton and Johnson Radio Network.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
So we're negotiating trade deals right now with Japan, and
now this reminds me of this time of year.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
The Japanese are up to some weird stuff.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
We've spoken in the past about the excuse me, adults
with young kids in the car. I'm going to use
a word here. It's gonna need to get used more
than once. I'm sorry. The Kanamara Matsuri is I think
it is, the Japanese annual penis festival. It happens in
the spring, usually happens in April. Let's see twenty two.
(08:56):
It just happened. It was April six, so it would
have been three days ago.
Speaker 4 (08:59):
If year we say we're gonna go next year and
then we forget and it's too late to get tickets.
Speaker 1 (09:05):
The Shinto Kanamara Matsuri is an annual Japanese festival held
each spring at the kana Yama Shrine in Kawasaki, Japan,
and the festivities basically revolve around the celebration of the
phallic human.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
Member. I guess penis.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
Yes, the penis, yes, exactly, and it's it's not exactly
what you'd think. It's not like a gay pride parade
or whatever often features children and like families and stuff
enjoying popsicles shaped like.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
And it's not. I don't know.
Speaker 1 (09:37):
I've never been a part of it, so but I've
just looked at it on the internet. So it doesn't
seem like it's sexual in nature. It seems kind.
Speaker 4 (09:44):
Of you if you can separate the penis from sexual.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
How how you just did? You said it doesn't seem
sexual in nature.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
But I'm not the one doing it, you know. Now,
It's not even the only thing weird going on right now.
Speaker 4 (09:57):
You see, you know, like little eight, nine, ten year
old girls and boys too, maybe having those penis suckers. Yeah,
that just seems a little awkward to.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
People that go on like pedophile vacations to tie land
and stuff, because that's the thing that exists. I gotta
think they get very confused about that when they see
it on the internet. They would think they think, should
I attend to this? I don't know anyway, it'd be
a good way to arrest the bad guys. But in
the meantime, Japan also have hosted their naked festival a
little earlier this year.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
Oh, they don't do that on the same weekend.
Speaker 1 (10:29):
Huh yeah, apparently it's uh just giant crowds of completely
naked people. And then there's one guy in the middle
who's picked us, the chosen one. Uh oh, and everyone
tries to grab him and while he walks through a
naked crowd. And I don't know if that guy even
knows he's part.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
Of the fund. This is the naked festival.
Speaker 5 (10:47):
Hundreds of nadi push and shove all to try and
touch the chosen nun, a man chosen by the shrike. Oh,
I know, I was here for vacation, checking out some doodles.
I out to know where this naked Asian guy points
at me and says that's the chow man.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
Next thing I know, there is an army of naked.
Speaker 5 (11:02):
Japanese guys chased me down the street, groping my, driving
my I guess I prefer it.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
Please call in the street.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
Why do you think Ray Stevens chose to include a
slide whistle right there?
Speaker 2 (11:16):
What did the slide whistle? Hmm?
Speaker 4 (11:18):
What's the significance? A little bit cartoonish in some ways.
I wonder what it was supposed to imply. Anyway, what
was the point of this whole segment. Oh, yeah, we're
negotiating trade deals right now with Japan. That suns right,
and you know they have their ways, we have our ways.
We gotta we gotta kind of find a way to
make those two work together.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
What if, in an effort to try to work out
better tariffs for us here on this side of the Pacific,
we look the other way while they do some creepy,
weird naked stuff.
Speaker 4 (11:46):
You know, what if we were to start to have
our own penis festival here just to say, hey, we
think you guys are cool.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
We're gonna do that too.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
You know, we still got some corn dogs left over
from the rodeo last month.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
Maybe we could use that stuff. You're right, let's do that.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
Yeah, it's been that kind of weak girlfriend, But hey,
t g I hump day.
Speaker 3 (12:04):
Huh.
