Speaker 1 (00:00):
Fifty bucks at Mumu Express car wash for you, just
in time for Father's Day. Now, maybe you don't give
the whole card to Dad. Maybe you just keep it
for yourself. Maybe you take Dad's car and run it
through the car wash. Actually, you know what, that's a
bad idea. Don't do that. As I say that out loud,
don't let Dad wash his own car. I just had
this flash of my seventeen year old son thinking he's
(00:21):
gonna do me a favor and take the truck into
the car wash. I watched your mental breaks squealing as
you were making that car. You know what, don't just
give the card to Dad and say go wash your
own car.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
Yeah yeah, Dad's the same way.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
If I did, I'm going to take that at Now
as a grown man, you're like, no, good, I got it,
I got it, I got it. Yeah yeah, let Dad
do that on his own. In fact, he probably enjoys it.
So either give Dad the card or do whatever the
heck you want with it. But we do have a
fifty dollars gift card to Mumu Express car Wash. And
then by the way, you're you're entered into the drawing
(00:54):
for the car washes.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
For a year from.
Speaker 1 (00:57):
MUMU, so that is coming up around a twenty five
or so this morning. All right, a lot of ground
to cover with Liz Peak on the Legacy Retirement Group
dot com phone line, Liz Fox News contributor, and you
can find all of her stuff at lizpeak dot com.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
Liz, I'm really enjoying the website.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
If people have a moment today to go on and
check out some of your stories and some of your writing.
It's really really a great spot, a lot of great
information at lizpeak dot com. Thank you for spending some
time for it with us this morning. So we want
to get to I want to get to LA and
the debacle there if we have time. I want to
get to the Elon Musk Donald Trump squabble, which seems
to be fading a little bit. But let's start with
(01:35):
the story that I think is being kind of undercovered
this morning, and that is that US and China have
reached a tentative trade deal. This is these high level
trade talks in London. What's the story here?
Speaker 3 (01:48):
Yeah, so very I mean this just came across the
tape literally, and interestingly it does not seem to have
moved Marcus which are opening lower, and I think it's
because probably the outlines of the deal are kind of known.
That is to say, yesterday they were talking about how
really it has to do with allowing exports of high
(02:11):
level semiconductors and a couple of other things including airplane
engines to China, which by the way, not everybody's excited about,
and in return, China is going to unblockade, if you will,
exports of rare earth to the United States. Now, as
I say, that's about all that's known about it, and
(02:32):
Trump is saying that the deal is done subject to
final approval from Trump and g so it's not really
signed off yet by the government of China. But we'll see.
As I say, I'm a little surprised markets aren't up
at eight point thirty. We have the latest CPI news.
The inflation read will come out at that time, and
(02:54):
I think people are expecting to see inflation move a
little higher than it has been. Remember, it's been lower
the last two or three months, actually decelerating and has
been and in the last month with Lois has been
in four years. So it's quite possible that it might
move slightly higher. As some of the Walmarts and other
(03:15):
companies begin to raise prices, So I think maybe investors
are more focused on that than this trade deal, although
I got to say, I think the trade deal is
pretty important.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
Yeah, and it's to me it may be kind of
nebulous at this time, but it seems like there's progress
and it's not like, you know, everyone's taking their ball
and going home. That there is some positive momentum there.
So we'll see how that plays out. We'll see how
the markets play out today with the inflation report, hopefully
hopefully some good news there. So we have now that
the fifth, the fifth night of unrest in Los Angeles,
(03:46):
and the mayor there at, Karen Bass, has put the
curfew in plays. I'm wondering why she didn't do that.
I don't know, maybe on Saturday night, but she's taken
this long to do it. And there's you know, we
now have the looters. They're going in, they're going into
marijuana dispensaries and smashing windows and electronics stores and all
the usual riff raff that you see when this kind
(04:08):
of thing happens. And the people that you know, Gavin Newsome,
Kamala Harris, now Hillary Clinton, all siding they're all on
the wrong side of the law here, Liz, I just
I can't wrap my brain around the fact that somebody
would be for all of this that's going on in
Los Angeles.
Speaker 3 (04:26):
Well, first of all, Karen bath had it was in
a tough position because you can't deny that there's unrest
and violence and looting taking place and then put in
a curfew, right, so you know, the Democrat party line
literally has been nothing to see here. There's no violence,
there's no problem. So you know, anyone with half a
(04:47):
brain must be sitting at home. Well wait a minute,
why did Trump order in National Guard troops if there's
nothing happening. This seems kind of stupid. But anyway, so finally, yeah,
she moved to quell the violence. Obviously, that has some
pretty salubrious effect. I mean, people aren't going to go
out and get arrested for violating curfews, presumably. But to
(05:07):
your point, it is not just the Democrats, Hillary Clinton,
all these people are on the wrong side of the law.
They're on the wrong side of the politics. And it
really does astonish me that once again, and this really
is the Summer of love. Two point zero right defund
the police two point zero block ICE. I mean, that's
basically where they are right now, confronting law enforcement. That,
(05:30):
by the way, most Americans support. This is what boggles
the mind. In March Pugh, which is not by any
means a right wing organization, surveyed Americans eighty four percent
or eighty six percent I forget, which said that they
agree with supporting people in the country illegally. In fact,
(05:52):
some people some over a third, thought every illegal alien
should be deported from the country, which clearly is not
going to happen. Eighty over eighty percent thought some should
be deported. Ninety seven percent said violent criminals should be deported.
That is what ICE was doing on Saturday and Friday.
They were trying to round up, not people suspected of
(06:15):
a crime, people who have been convicted of crimes. Now,
most of the taxpayers of America would rather not spend
I think it's well over one hundred thousand dollars a
year incarcerating people who are sentenced to twenty years in prison.
Why should we do that? Send them home, get them
out of the country. They should be sent out of
(06:35):
the country. We know that that is a popular policy.
So this is an entirely fabricated problem, and the Democrats
have put it in their own lap. But I have
to laugh. The only Democrat who is saying you guys
are nuts is John Fetterman, and boy do they hate.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
Him for it.
Speaker 3 (06:54):
Right.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
I never thought I'd be agreeing with John Fetterman, but yeah,
here we are. And to your point, Liz, on Friday
night last week ICE's sweep in LA they got one
hundred and eighteen individuals, including gang members, drug traffickers, even
a guy convicted of a double murder. These are not
innocent immigrants looking for a better life, you know, these
(07:16):
are folks, and now they're flying the flag of the country.
They're flying their foreign flags, burning the flag of the
country that gives them the right to do that. Which
that you want to talk about boggling the mind. Go
fly an American flag in Guadalajara and see what that
gets you.
Speaker 3 (07:32):
You know, somebody, what's kind of amusing is to watch
the media, because you know, not everybody in the left
wing media is completely stupid. It's just their policies and
politics are pretty stupid. But they saw those pictures of
people on motorbikes with the Mexican flags and I think
some were Venezuelan' flaves wherever, and they said, this is
(07:53):
just pure honey for Donald Trump. This is exactly what
the Republicans want to see and as true. I mean,
those clips are going to be flying at when Steve
Hilton or Robert takes on Gavin Newsom for governor or
whoever runs it. It won't be Ama Newsom but Kamala
Harris or whoever. Guess what I mean. They've got a
(08:14):
pretty good clip there of exactly who is in charge
of Los Angeles. It's not Karen vas not Gavin Newsom.
It's these illegal aliens flying their own nation flags and
flouting law enforcements. So that's the side that the Democrats
are on.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
Yeah, and you're seeing, you're seeing brand new red voters
by the hour.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
Liz Peak. You can see her work at lizpeak dot com.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
All right, I want to talk about Elon Musk and
Donald Trump in their little feud.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
It seems to be fading.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
I'm seeing stories that Elon is starting to show some
regret over some of the tweets that he has posted.
He has deleted a number of them that were critical
of Trump and critical of the Big Beautiful Bill and
all of this, and he deleted the tweet that sort
of started at everything that he suggested that Trump was
on the Epstein list. So I feel like Elon now
(09:05):
is realizing, you know what, is probably better to be
friends with President Trump than enemies.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
Right.
Speaker 3 (09:10):
Well, you know guess what it isn't just that he's
actually tweeted an apology today. I didn't maybe last night. Yeah, yeah,
I go on X and you'll see that he has
basically kind of said, you know, this is wrong, I
was overreacting whatever. So as somebody said, was he on
his meds then or was he honest heads now? I
(09:31):
don't know. But look, I think I am a big
fan of Elon musk As I think you know, I
think he's the most brilliant entrepreneur in the world, literally,
and therefore he's the richest man in the world. I'm
glad that those two things sometimes work out together. Yeah,
he is a genius, but even as Walter Isaacson, his biographer,
has pointed out, that sometimes come with some pretty weird behavior, right,
(09:55):
and he's on the spectrum, he's erratic and sometimes on
a he's a bit childlike. I mean, I think you
can see that with Elon and he he's sort of
his enthusiasms or childlike and sometimes his reactions are and
I think he got way over his keys. But guess what,
at the end of the day, he is not going
to find love in the Democratic Party. And if he
(10:18):
really thinks he's going to team up with Independence create
a third party, that's it's all blooney. It's not going
to happen. So I hope that this is mended. He's
a very useful guy. He's a brilliant guy. Let's have
him on our team, not the other team. And I
hope that Trump accepts his apology and that they kind
of get back to working together on important issue.
