The View thinks that the eclipse was caused by climate change. Elon Musk is being sued by the Brazilian government. China is looking to crush Tesla. And a guy named Nick DiPaolo is here to talk about it all.
00:01:44.000Bad girls, bad girls, whatcha gonna do?
00:01:51.000Whatcha gonna do when they come for you?

00:02:29.000You know, I watch your show, I look at the clips that come out, and I'm very appreciative that there's another person, and I use the term loosely, person out there that's fighting the good fight.
00:03:42.000Brazil, the government, the Supreme Court of Brazil is now coming for Elon Musk for X, formerly Twitter, and a lot of parallels there between what Brazil has done and the United States government, including, by the way, going after Elon Musk and X, because it turns out that freedom of speech is kind of an important thing.
00:03:58.000They only start persecuting Elon Musk once he starts standing up for your right to speak freely.
00:04:03.000This is the guy... Can you name me anyone?
00:04:04.000Comment below anyone who's done more for electric vehicles, which is what the Green Movement has been touting, for really decades now, than Elon Musk.
00:04:20.000Sometimes the quality coming out of China now is actually pretty good.
00:04:22.000The problem is them subsidizing and artificially Flooding a market to try and drive prices down for American goods.
00:04:29.000There's a difference between Made in America, meaning good, and Chinese government officials, the CCP, not the Chinese people, though they're all tiny, deliberately destroying the... I haven't introduced... If you're on YouTube and you see this at some point...
00:04:46.000Head on over to Rumble because I don't know how long we're going to be on the YouTube.
00:06:20.000And Cap Morgan is still out because they just had their new baby, so in the second spot here today is, you know him, you love him, Funny Bones Syracuse, New York, April 12th on Friday, jfirestein.com.
00:07:38.000It's very, very interesting to see exactly the Brazilian government doing what the Biden
00:08:08.000It sort of makes you realize, oh wow, our nation can't point the finger anymore because our government is corrupt.
00:08:15.000First though, very interesting, and by interesting I mean mind-numbingly stupid, the women of the view, let me be clear here, I don't just say dumb because I don't like somebody.
00:08:47.000Yes, so They believe that earthquakes cicadas or cicadas and the eclipse all of these things are being caused by You're the science denier, but they claim climate change Karen Dupiche, our wonderful makeup artist, when the earthquake was happening, she put her coat on and she was like, Jesus is coming.
00:09:21.000You'll hear me do this where if I'm reading a name, for example, for talking about people in Brazil for the first time, but you know I'm saying, I don't know how to pronounce this.
00:09:28.000She's trying to say that conversationally as though it's an issue for her.
00:09:59.000Yeah, the Cicada's shut your legs, they'll go away.
00:10:24.000Joy Behar, she's like, she's getting a quip and she's like, the good cicadas and the bad cicadas!
00:10:29.000Yes, she was referring to, of course, the recent blockbuster, Cicadazilla vs. Cicada Kong, which, you know, hey, I guess... That is awesome.
00:12:25.000If you, and I've always said this, it's not about what the left does, what Democrats do in this country right now, it's what would they do if they had unchecked power?
00:12:34.000If they could have their way, if we didn't have three branches of government, if we didn't have checks and balances, what would they do?
00:12:39.000Well, I think a pretty good indicator, I've always pointed to Trudeau as a good one because Canada is basically America Light.
00:12:46.000You can see what he does when he's unchecked or unfettered, relatively speaking.
00:12:56.000This will be, I think, translated into Brazilian Portuguese, not Portuguese Portuguese.
00:13:00.000You guys have a thing about that, but I don't understand.
00:13:02.000So, the Supreme Court there in Brazil is demanding right now that Elon Musk censor and remove what they consider, and it's a moving target, far-right, not just content, accounts.
00:13:15.000He will challenge an order by a Supreme Court judge in Brazil who ordered his company X, formerly known as Twitter, to block some accounts.
00:13:23.000In a post on X, Musk accused the judge of violating Brazil's constitution and he called for him to resign or be impeached.
00:13:30.000The judge has been involved in efforts to crack down on misinformation in Brazil and threatened to impose heavy fines for any reactivation of the accounts in question.
00:13:40.000Okay, and you know, as you well know, Rumble, the company that we partner with, they've had their run-ins with Brazil and they said, no, we're not going to do it.
00:13:45.000Just like they've been banned from France, UK Parliament is trying to.
00:13:47.000There are a few key people right now standing up for all of you.
00:15:41.000This is just what's happening in Brazil.
00:15:42.000So a guy gets a conviction, overturned Supreme Court, Then tries to go back to, let's be honest, nationalizing to some degree, or socializing state-owned media, set up a panel to combat fake news, which includes pretty much any far-right content, which means any content that's to the right of him, and then go after Elon Musk and X. Are you seeing the similarities?
00:17:41.000And I counted this morning, it includes about 20 to 25 people who I know, who I've either trained with, rolled with, or are friends, family friends.
00:17:51.000Over 20, only one I know, doesn't like Bolsonaro and he's a journalist.
00:17:56.000I thought it was a guy that did your waxing.
00:20:45.000What's so concerning about that is he's waging a disinformation campaign by simply providing a platform.
00:20:51.000And not only by providing a platform, but by providing a platform and saying, no, no, we're not only going to do the White House's bidding, we're not only going to do the bidding of the government of Brazil, we're going to allow people to communicate on this platform.
00:21:06.000That is what they consider waging a disinformation campaign.
00:21:10.000You have the Twitter Files journalist, I believe it's Matt Schellenberger, he specifically called out Marias for acting unconstitutionally.
00:22:21.000That is clearly, not only is it dishonest, it means that you know what you're doing is not only wrong, but you know there would be backlash.
00:22:29.000This is how dictators, this is how fascism actually grows.
00:22:33.000And we're at a point in this country where once upon a time we'd go, yeah, Brazil can't get anything right.
00:22:36.000We're screwing it up the same way in the United States.
00:22:39.000That's why I think a lot of people, when they look at Putin and Ukraine, they think we don't have a leg to stand on.
00:22:43.000They go, well, we have just as much corruption here.
00:24:04.000I had actually a Brazilian, I won't say who, a Brazilian coach and we were at a tournament and there was a, clearly what seemed to be like a woman who might be transitioning but wasn't trans, very overweight.
00:26:36.000Before we get to Donald, when people say Donald Trump fascist, can you point me to an example of Donald Trump, uh, trying to have, back when Twitter, when he was on, uh, he was on Twitter and it was still, um, still run by, I don't know if it was Dorsey, the CEO's changed hands a little bit.
00:26:50.000Did he try and arrest any employees of Twitter?
00:26:54.000Did he try and arrest any individual employees?
00:27:20.000You're an employee of Twitter, which is a platform And if you don't actually remove, actively remove voices of dissent, you as an employee can be arrested.
00:27:31.000Are you still trying to make the argument out there, Libertarians, that it's a private platform, they can do whatever they want?
00:27:36.000When you have governments threatening to arrest employees of a platform where they're not even expressing their own opinion, they're just not removing opinions with which they disagree.
00:27:45.000That makes it impossible to have a dialogue.
00:27:48.000Hey, not only can you not have that opinion, not only can that opinion not be permitted in the Digital Town Square, but if the people who simply operate the platform of the Digital Town Square don't ban you, we are going to prosecute them to the fullest extent of the law.
00:30:06.000That's what I'm saying, because if this leftist movement that seems to be taking the globe over, and if the people want to fight back, you do need platforms.
00:30:20.000I see what you're saying, and I agree with you.
00:30:37.000And by the way, this also tomorrow we're going to have Paolo Figueredo on the program.
00:30:41.000He's actually a prominent journalist and one of the far-right journalists there in Brazil, who's been targeted actually by the Supreme Court.
00:30:49.000So he's had his passport canceled, they've frozen his bank accounts, and he's been suspended on social media.
00:30:54.000So we'll have him on tomorrow to talk about this more.
00:30:55.000And Figueredo, just in case you don't know, that's like Smith as a last name in Brazil.
00:33:19.000Sometimes you can't get what you need in the United States because it's simply not manufactured here.
00:33:24.000And sometimes Chinese goods can actually be higher quality than their American counterparts if you're talking about union made here in the USA.
00:33:31.000Made in America doesn't necessarily mean quality.
00:33:32.000That's not the issue we're talking about.
00:33:34.000The issue we are discussing is the Chinese government subsidizing products to deliberately overproduce them and flood foreign markets.
00:33:44.000They are doing this to basically price private competitors, let's say in free countries, out of the market through their subsidizing of these specific products, goods or services, so that then they can have a stranglehold on it.
00:34:18.000The issue is corrupt government, both in the United States with the unions and, of course, the Communist Chinese government.
00:34:24.000So Tesla is a perfect example here of where this can go wrong.
00:34:28.000During a recent trip to China, actually, it's so bad that Janet Yellen even said this is threatening, completely threatening, global markets.
00:34:36.000China is now simply too large for the rest of the world to absorb this enormous capacity.
00:34:46.000Actions taken by the PRC today can shift world prices.
00:34:51.000And when the global market is flooded by artificially cheap Chinese products,
00:34:56.000the viability of American and other foreign firms is put into question.
00:35:02.000So, just because what she just described, hey, that's Obamacare, right? It's, oh, let's provide
00:35:14.000an Obamacare option that will, well, hold on a second.
00:35:47.000Right here what we're talking about is, the term you'll hear me use is overcapacity, and that's when something is produced in quantities that far exceed what is needed in the market.
00:35:58.000And with China that happens because of government subsidies.
00:36:37.000We have China subsidizes these industries.
00:36:39.000The industry becomes oversaturated or at overcapacity.
00:36:41.000Then they export those goods abroad at super, super cheap prices so it drives other companies, who have to actually operate an honest business, drives them out of business.
00:39:39.000No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no You better run, catch it!
00:39:45.000That's half their recipes involve catching.
00:39:48.000You look at the menu, now it says rescue.
00:41:27.000But the problem is they act like barnacles, and they'll actually, they'll accumulate around pipes, and they'll close up pipes, like pipeways.
00:44:19.000My frank observation is that China spends a lot of resources and efforts applying the latest digital technologies in different industries, including the automobile industry, making China a global leader in digitalization.
00:44:30.000Tesla will continue to expand investment and R&D efforts in China.
00:44:36.000Tesla hopes to contribute to build a digitized future of shared benefits, responsibilities and governance.
00:44:41.000Let's see how that worked out because now Tesla has had to reduce their output and they've had to cut hours at the Shanghai factory.
00:46:55.000At a certain point in time, Chinese electric vehicles, right, they couldn't compete at all on a global level.
00:46:58.000Well, now, Chinese automaker, the one we've discussed, BYD, they've actually passed Tesla as the world's top electric vehicle maker, really globally.
00:47:09.000And of course, here's why this matters.
00:47:11.000If it was just, all right, a better mousetrap, Fine.
00:47:17.000And this is why the next election matters, because we've been told that China is going to be the next great economic superpower for many, many years.
00:47:23.000There's only been one president who's done anything about it in our lifetime.
00:47:32.000All of this was facilitated not by creating better products, not by innovating, but by massive subsidies from the Chinese Communist government.
00:47:41.000We've arguably never seen anything like this in terms of, you know, the amount of support that China has extended to automakers specifically pertaining to EVs.
00:47:53.000Beijing has given an estimated $30 billion of tax exemptions to the industry since 2010, and may waive a further $97 billion by 2027.
00:48:04.000China actually takes a carrot and stick approach.
00:48:08.000They set mandatory EV output targets for automakers, but they also offer cheaper loans and cheaper land and R&D subsidies to all those EV makers.
00:48:20.000And here's the thing, there's no way to compete against that.
00:48:23.000You know, this is an international version of, you've heard me talk, too big to fail.
00:49:19.000No private American company can compete.
00:49:22.000So, what might happen in this scenario?
00:49:24.000Unless we have some kind of trade tariffs, barriers established, what could happen is China continues to do this, American companies can't compete, and so, good news, a federal government steps in and says, we'll subsidize our own industries, and you're now one step closer to it being nationalized.
00:49:39.000China has a vested interest in this going on, and socialists across the globe have a vested interest in this going on.
00:49:45.000This would be the best way, as a Trojan horse, to backdoor in the nationalization of a lot of intensely important private companies.
00:51:05.000I've known people who, they would go to trade shows, and they would actually have to have someone assigned to protect their intellectual property.
00:51:12.000They would have to stop people coming in from China to take pictures of their products and then try and basically reverse-engineer it.
00:51:26.000Let's be subsidized, or somehow the government will allow us through tax breaks.
00:51:29.000Let's drive them out of the market because they can't compete with our cheap knockoff, subsidized by the government, and then we can gradually raise the prices once they're out of the competitive field.
00:51:58.000I mean, when they talk about stealing intellectual property, I go, well, we kind of steal theirs when we're as kids sitting next to them on a biology test or something.
00:53:17.000happened to actually with motorcycles in it was Reagan I believe
00:53:21.000I believe Harley was at the AMF days, right?
00:53:24.000And, uh, they couldn't compete, and so Japan was bringing in motorcycles like Honda, Kawasaki.
00:53:27.000They were far, far better than what Americans were used to.
00:53:29.000And so they put tariffs on a lot of these Japanese motorcycles, which hurt Americans because they wanted better bikes that would actually last.
00:53:35.000Problem is, you have to take into account that in Japan, they were doing the same thing first to American.
00:53:42.000So you can't be saying, well hold on a second, I guess we'll bring yours in because we actually believe in fair trade if the other nation doesn't.
00:53:48.000That's the problem with libertarianism and that's why I'm no longer a libertarian.
00:53:51.000That's why I am a conservative with a very strong leaning towards nationalism because today, in 2024, if you are not a nationalist, you are siding with, if you want to use the term globalist, internationalists.
00:54:03.000Something has to be done to protect the United States From China encroaching.
00:54:11.000Unless you want the United States to become like China, to become like Europe, to become like these nations, then you need to protect your nation.
00:54:18.000You need to protect your nations with borders.
00:54:20.000You need to protect your nations with policies.
00:54:22.000And throughout all of my entire lifetime, I remember everyone saying it's going to be the next Great Tear.
00:55:44.000At a certain point, you do have to ask yourself, how does the media, and of course they're lackeys in the DNC, how do they always line up with communist opposition?
00:56:17.000Yeah, like it's a little bit of a difference in corporate tax rates by two or three percent like it used to be.
00:56:22.000No, you're actually, you're helping prop up an economy, well not economy, there is no, it's the government of a nation that actively seeks to do us harm and enslaves their own people.
00:56:32.000Right, and that's where we're headed here.
