00:01:19.000 Incredibly unbroken sentence, moving from topic to topic.

00:01:24.000 No one had a chance to interrupt.

00:01:26.000 It was quite hypnotic.

00:01:28.000 Incredibly unbroken sentence, moving from topic to topic.

00:01:32.000 No one had a chance to interrupt.

00:01:34.000 It was quite hypnotic.

00:01:36.000 That's an interesting twist.

00:01:55.000 Welcome to the lineup exclusive here on Rumble.

00:01:57.000 That means it's 11 a.m. Eastern, 10 God's Time Central.

00:02:02.000 I'm on God's Time, so that's us.

00:02:04.000 And then Tim Pool is going to be after us.

00:02:06.000 We're actually going to have Viva Frye on the show today, who is actually up at 3 p.m. 0.99

00:02:12.000 God's Time, so 4 p.m. Eastern.

00:02:14.000 Guys, don't correct me.

00:02:16.000 You don't need to correct me right away.

00:02:17.000 So welcome Bongino army, and of course those people coming in from Vince, which comes from the, you know, the romance language is Vincente, which means that's, I think it translates to, that's not a rug.

00:02:28.000 Today, we're going to be discussing Liberation Day.

00:02:32.000 President Trump's tariffs.

00:02:33.000 Who are the winners?

00:02:34.000 Who are the losers?

00:02:35.000 There's a lot of speculation out there, and the math is a little more complicated than how it was initially presented, but it's actually pretty easy to figure out.

00:02:44.000 Also, there was a A really tragic stabbing that took place in my home state here in Texas and there's a media blackout on it though it's trending on social media that shows you that sort of chasm between what affects people or what matters to people versus what the media chooses to cover and they don't want you to acknowledge that there's perhaps a racial component or dynamic but There is, and that's why we're not on YouTube.

00:03:11.000 We can discuss it today.

00:03:12.000 Also, a German cop found a murder victim, but it's not what you think.

00:03:15.000 We'll talk about that and more.

00:03:16.000 Enjoy this first.

00:03:29.000 Protests continue across the country this evening, and we want you to know, of course, that though there are some individual protesters who are agitated, It is not the norm.

00:03:38.000 These protests are largely peaceful.

00:03:41.000 Many people look back at the demonstrations at Selma and wonder, what would I have done?

00:03:46.000 Would I have marched across that bridge?

00:03:48.000 Or would I be standing on the other side?

00:03:51.000 Well, I have an answer for you.

00:03:53.000 And my answer is a question.

00:03:56.000 What are you doing now?

00:03:58.000 Now, Tanya, how would you describe the attitude on the ground there?

00:04:02.000 We go now live to our woman in the field, Tanya Franks.

00:04:04.000 Tanya? Well, Chris, first I want to say that was inspiring.

00:04:08.000 As far as the attitude on the ground, you know, folks are entirely peaceful, but far from happy.

00:04:13.000 Just imagine if every day when you left home, you didn't know whether you'd be coming back.

00:04:18.000 You might be a little upset, too.

00:04:20.000 Well, Tanya, in my line of work, that's always a possibility, but I know that many in the audience might not understand what that's like.

00:04:28.000 No. Tanya, hold...

00:04:30.000 Was that a man on...

00:04:31.000 Was that a man on fire?

00:04:32.000 Hard to tell with the flames, Chris.

00:04:33.000 Might have been a really muscular lady. 1.00

00:04:35.000 So, Tanya, um, what are the people on the ground saying there? 0.98

00:04:39.000 Yeah, we gonna burn this mothafucka down! 1.00

00:04:41.000 3-1-3, bitch! 1.00

00:04:42.000 That's right! 1.00

00:04:43.000 CVS is open for business, y'all!

00:04:45.000 Take what you need, mothafuckas! 1.00

00:04:48.000 A fitting tribute to the memory of George Floyd, Chris.

00:04:51.000 Yo, who that?

00:04:52.000 Yo, that's a mothafucka with a grill! 0.99

00:04:53.000 Charged evening, to be certain.

00:04:55.000 Now, some people are asking, why is this happening now?

00:04:59.000 Haven't things gotten better?

00:05:01.000 But there are still persistent and pervasive inequities in this country, and these protests are a reaction to that.

00:05:08.000 And aside from a string of isolated incidents, very small, things have been pretty peaceful.

00:05:14.000 Very tame.

00:05:15.000 Any final thoughts, Tanya?

00:05:18.000 Oh, uh, hello sir, uh, what's your name?

00:05:26.000 I'm sorry, that was unfair.

00:05:27.000 Allow me to reframe the question.

00:05:30.000 Good, sir.

00:05:31.000 Where, might I ask, is Tanya?

00:05:33.000 Oh, she dead.

00:05:38.000 Yo! Yo, I got an Apple Watch, doc!

00:05:41.000 Yeah, man!

00:05:43.000 The language of the unheard.

00:05:45.000 We'll be right back.

00:06:41.000 Question of the day.

00:06:43.000 Did any of you sleep last night?

00:06:45.000 Because, I don't know if there's a pressure change or something, but I went out to dinner.

00:06:48.000 It was a birthday dinner with family, and I never fell asleep.

00:06:52.000 And then my father came.

00:06:53.000 Everyone who was there said, hey, did you have trouble sleeping?

00:06:55.000 I said, yeah.

00:06:55.000 And they said, we never fell asleep.

00:06:57.000 And we didn't eat anything out of the ordinary.

00:06:58.000 It was just, you know, we had a nice steak dinner for a birthday.

00:07:01.000 Somebody put drugs in your food? 0.68

00:07:03.000 I think I was dosed.

00:07:05.000 Well, I took a- I popped a fentanyl after dinner, and I was out.

00:07:07.000 Did you?

00:07:08.000 Oh, careful.

00:07:09.000 Stock up while you can.

00:07:10.000 Those tariffs spare nobody.

00:07:11.000 I'll sell you some.

00:07:12.000 It's 11 a.m.

00:07:46.000 Start some stuff.

00:07:46.000 No, they're good people.

00:07:47.000 Give me a reason.

00:07:48.000 I should be waiting to promote it, but yeah, I promise I'll be there.

00:07:52.000 It's not a joke.

00:07:53.000 All right, all right. 0.99

00:08:02.000 So, we have a lot to get to today.

00:08:03.000 We already talked about that, and we have Viva Frey- Frey, son of a- Admonish me.

00:08:06.000 There you go.

00:08:07.000 Viva Fry.

00:08:08.000 Right off the bat.

00:08:08.000 Viva Fry.

00:08:10.000 Boom. Admonish.

00:08:11.000 But, this is a clip to start us off- I haven't seen this, so I'm experiencing this with you.

00:08:18.000 We have shared experiences together.

00:08:20.000 Although I don't know your lived experience because I'm a privileged white man.

00:08:23.000 So, the urban jungle is a place that's, you know, always full of surprises, and this video that I've not seen is living proof that you never know what to expect in the big city.

00:08:33.000 Bad boys, bad boys What you gonna do?

00:08:38.000 Okay, oh it's a pause, so what do we, oh you're playing a game with me?

00:08:42.000 Yes, we uh, we have to guess what happens next.

00:08:45.000 Okay. You did A. Ding, Billy.

00:08:48.000 The man carjacks the person filming the video.

00:08:50.000 Okay. Is it B?

00:08:51.000 The man gets destroyed by a vehicle.

00:08:54.000 Well, that could be funny.

00:08:54.000 Or is it C?

00:08:56.000 He arrives on time for his job at the local mechanic engineering firm.

00:08:59.000 Oh, come on now. 0.98

00:09:00.000 Mechanical engineering firm?

00:09:01.000 You're laying it on thick.

00:09:02.000 This is a trick question.

00:09:03.000 The answer is D. All the kids at the party get scared and...

00:09:09.000 I saw this movie.

00:09:10.000 This is Signs.

00:09:11.000 I tell you what.

00:09:12.000 I tell you what.

00:09:13.000 It makes a giraffe balloon. 0.73

00:09:15.000 If it is A, And he carjacks a man, completely nude.

00:09:19.000 He's earned the car.

00:09:21.000 If that's me, have it.

00:09:22.000 You can have it.

00:09:23.000 Yeah, exactly.

00:09:24.000 He's like, come on.

00:09:25.000 I mean, he's like, nothing up my sleeve.

00:09:26.000 Well, you have no sleeves!

00:09:29.000 Alright, give me the answer tool, man.

00:09:31.000 Alright, here we go.

00:09:33.000 a Eliminated by a Prius?

00:09:42.000 Well, he never heard it coming. 0.99

00:09:44.000 Black man can get hit by a Prius. 0.99

00:09:47.000 It looks like he anticipated, like he deliberately ran in to get hit by that car. 0.99

00:09:51.000 He was looking that way.

00:09:52.000 Yeah, like he was like, I want to ruin someone's day.

00:09:55.000 Prius! That would be a weird insurance fraud case.

00:09:59.000 Like the insurance agent can be like, you should, if you could have clothes, what's the clothes problem?

00:10:05.000 Yeah, you hit someone?

00:10:06.000 No, he hit me, really.

00:10:08.000 Yeah. No, you're calling all states here.

00:10:10.000 You meant to call some state. 0.90

00:10:11.000 That's are you in good handjobs? 0.97

00:10:12.000 It hit me so hard my clothes fell off. 0.98

00:10:18.000 That would be hilarious if he was only wearing shoes and when he got hit there was nothing but a pair of shoes.

00:10:23.000 You know what?

00:10:24.000 My dunks! 0.93

00:10:26.000 If you zoom in you can see a condom though.

00:10:29.000 Maybe he was running away.

00:10:30.000 Maybe he got caught with somebody else's wife or something.

00:10:33.000 He misinterpreted protection.

00:10:35.000 Yeah, absolutely. 0.89

00:10:35.000 He definitely got caught having sex with somebody he shouldn't have been having sex with. 0.89

00:10:38.000 This is an Afro man song. 0.99

00:10:41.000 Daddy was way with a 2x4. 1.00

00:10:45.000 I weep for society.

00:10:47.000 It doesn't get any better with this next one, but this just shows you that America's the last bastion of hope.

00:10:52.000 In Germany, police, well they made what they thought was a pretty grisly discovery.

00:10:58.000 Don't worry, it's okay.

00:11:00.000 In Rostock, Germany, there's a twist.

00:11:04.000 I think it's a dead body.

00:11:22.000 Okay. Drone brought into the country?

00:11:31.000 What? Pause.

00:11:35.000 To people listening on audio, yes, you heard correctly. 0.73

00:11:38.000 It turned out that the murder victim that was found turned out to be a sex doll after a five-hour investigation.

00:11:44.000 But here's what's most interesting.

00:11:46.000 Stay right. 0.64

00:11:46.000 Most interesting, a sex pulpit. 0.64

00:11:50.000 Because, like, there's often some crossover with English, French, or Spanish, like, coffee is café, right?

00:11:56.000 Right. Almost none with German, except for sex puppet. 1.00

00:12:03.000 Sexpulpit, which of course is German for Pinocchio. 0.99

00:12:09.000 What must that sexpulpit have done to deserve this treatment? 1.00

00:12:13.000 Look at that! 0.99

00:12:13.000 His nose wouldn't grow. 0.99

00:12:14.000 That's the last time I ever do this with you! 0.96

00:12:18.000 Sets it on fire.

00:12:19.000 Nothing else.

00:12:20.000 There's no crossover between German and English.

00:12:22.000 No. Except sexapulpit. 0.68

00:12:24.000 Sexpulpit. Alright, sorry. 0.97

00:12:27.000 I just want to hear it again.

00:12:28.000 And they take it so seriously.

00:12:29.000 Okay. I'll rewind you a little bit.

00:12:31.000 There we go. 0.94

00:12:32.000 ...sondern eine Sexpuppe. 0.91

00:12:33.000 *lacht* In the kiosk's Tatort, so will I say it, the big thing

00:12:39.000 It was assumed to not be a living person?

00:12:53.000 which was needed to be a health care worker. 1.00

00:12:54.000 "The health care needed the Einsatzes in this case not. 0.89

00:12:58.000 The documents were assigned.

00:13:00.000 And also a already asked for a bestater was assigned.

00:13:03.000 These art morticians are all mad that it's not a dead body. 0.97

00:13:06.000 I don't know, right? 0.99

00:13:08.000 Ridiculous. I love how they still try to add an element of mystery. 0.93

00:13:13.000 Like, only one thing remains is why would they dispose of a sex puppet in this manner?

00:13:19.000 We will get to the bottom of this! 1.00

00:13:21.000 It's a pervert. 0.95

00:13:21.000 There you go. 0.95

00:13:22.000 There's a choose your own path. 0.99

00:13:24.000 What does a sex puppet do to you? 0.57

00:13:27.000 He just didn't want his mom to find out. 0.96

00:13:29.000 I know! 0.99

00:13:30.000 I can picture them interrogating it, like, sex puppet, are you cheating? 0.97

00:13:38.000 It's just, it's a silly, silly place, and we should take nothing that they say or do seriously, not only because of the historical timeline of Germany, if you're a history buff, but even today they can't get it right. 0.97

00:13:50.000 more proof. 0.95

00:13:51.000 The Rostock police, they nicknamed the doll Selena.

00:13:56.000 Come on.

00:14:03.000 She's a Latin icon, come on!

00:14:06.000 What, that doll can't like Selena? 1.00

00:14:08.000 Come on! 0.61

00:14:08.000 It's fine. 0.61

00:14:09.000 And it went missing overnight.

00:14:11.000 Yeah, it's not in the evidence locker.

00:14:16.000 I will take this home for further investigation.

00:14:19.000 You're gonna want to swab that.

00:14:22.000 I hope they cleaned it.

00:14:24.000 The police chief's like, they're on to me.

00:14:25.000 I will solve this case or my name is not Iwinterkake-Schnick-Schnick-Werk!

00:14:33.000 By the way, this is the sixth...

00:14:35.000 the sixth reported...

00:14:38.000 No. Sex puppet that was confused for a murder victim in Germany. 0.98

00:14:42.000 Shouldn't they have a protocol? 0.99

00:14:44.000 Yeah. Like after the first verse two or three?

00:14:47.000 Like the first question when they show up looking like the third act of E.T. Yes.

00:14:51.000 Should be the police chief like, okay, now first to save everyone's time, is this a sex puppet? 0.99

00:14:56.000 Is this like the Zodiac Killer of sex puppets? 0.99

00:15:00.000 He's sending letters to the media. 1.00

00:15:04.000 A picture of two sex puppets having a party. 0.95

00:15:11.000 You know, it's not exclusively a German problem, either. 0.97

00:15:24.000 Really? Which is disturbing, yeah, because I was hanging out on the railroad tracks earlier.

00:15:27.000 What? Yeah, I was hanging out on the railroad tracks and I found this!

00:15:31.000 That's terrible.

00:15:32.000 What were you doing in the bushes, though?

00:15:37.000 Yeah, so why were you in the bushes?

00:15:39.000 Charlesie! I hang out there sometimes.

00:15:43.000 Another survival guy thing?

00:15:45.000 Yeah. Yeah, I was out there hanging out.

00:15:47.000 You know what?

00:15:48.000 Earlier I pulled up some of the footage and I put it in the system.

00:15:52.000 Oh. See you all along!

00:16:15.000 Well, well, well.

00:16:18.000 What do you have to say to Gerald C.?

00:16:20.000 yeah what are you doing here?

00:16:22.000 laughter laughter laughter laughter laughter The sex pulpit came back the very next day! 0.98

00:16:35.000 You should have burned it, Gerald.

00:16:37.000 Here's the thing.

00:16:38.000 I didn't know that was part of the protocol!

00:16:39.000 This is funny, and I know if you're watching, you're older.

00:16:42.000 This is actually a real problem.

00:16:43.000 That's why they're finding more and more sex in movies. 1.00

00:16:47.000 You need to understand, this has become a huge industry because of, yeah, you can trace it back to feminism, because of male-female dynamics, where a lot of men, young men, are checking out of the dating pool.

00:16:58.000 44% of Generation Z males, well, 13, they've never dated.

00:17:03.000 According to a study in 2023, 63% of men aged 18 to 29 are single.

00:17:09.000 And 10% of men between the ages of 22 and 34 have never had any type of sexual relations, which is, by the way, the highest ever.

00:17:18.000 It would be good if it was an abstinence choice of, like, waiting for marriage.

00:17:21.000 It's probably not driven by that.

00:17:23.000 And then on the flip side of that, the global sex doll market is set to increase from $3 billion to $10 billion by the year 2030.

00:17:32.000 Wow. I think that's just improvements in technology.

00:17:34.000 It is improvements in technology.

00:17:36.000 Well, the thing is, you know, people will say, yeah, is it, do we have a pornification of culture?

00:17:40.000 Sure. Yeah, absolutely.

00:17:41.000 We do.

00:17:42.000 But a lot of young men, it's not worth the risk.

00:17:45.000 I mean, for example, you use like Harry Sisson, who I get it.

00:17:48.000 No one, we're not fans of him. 0.99

00:17:49.000 He's a, he's a Democrat activist and he's a moron, but I will say this. 1.00

00:17:54.000 He was consensually sexting women. 1.00

00:17:57.000 And then that was used against him as though he was a predator.

00:18:00.000 And a lot of men are going, unless I happen to meet the woman who I'm going to spend the rest of my life with, anything consensual can be used against me. 0.86

00:18:08.000 And so now with the innovations in AI and I would imagine textiles, I'm just going to go with a sex puppet. 0.66

00:18:17.000 Pretty soon they're going to have, these sex puppets are like really good in detail.

00:18:22.000 That's what I understand. 0.93

00:18:23.000 You know, pretty soon they're going to have, like, anatomy, so these people, these murderers can go cut them up and dispose of them and still get the same feeling.

00:18:31.000 I would imagine.

00:18:32.000 That probably makes them feel godlike, as I understand it.

00:18:35.000 Yeah, I don't know.

00:18:35.000 It's a healthy outlet, I guess?

00:18:36.000 Read the Green River Killers book.

00:18:37.000 I don't know.

00:18:37.000 Let me ask you this.

00:18:39.000 What's the weirdest thing you've ever found in public? 0.91

00:18:41.000 Not a sex puppet.

00:18:43.000 No, definitely. 0.96

00:18:43.000 Well, no. 0.96

00:18:44.000 I did have a waiter at a restaurant, and I told you this story.

00:18:48.000 We both know the restaurant.

00:18:50.000 He has a side gig as a sex puppet sales person and does, I guess, very well with them.

00:18:56.000 Yeah, I can imagine.

00:18:57.000 It's incredibly scary that that person is serving me.

00:18:59.000 He's so good, he's a waiter.

00:19:01.000 Yes, exactly.

00:19:02.000 He's just getting started.

00:19:04.000 Which is kind of surprising.

00:19:05.000 I would imagine that's the easiest job in the world.

00:19:07.000 They basically sell themselves.

00:19:08.000 I mean, you're just a fulfillment guy, right?

00:19:10.000 Yeah, exactly. 0.98

00:19:12.000 I bet you watch, there's going to be some new, like, Direct-order sex puppet. 1.00

00:19:16.000 A disruptor in the industry.

00:19:17.000 They cut out the middleman. 0.99

00:19:19.000 It's a sex puppet in a box. 1.00

00:19:22.000 Weirdest thing I ever found in public was an Afghan guy masturbating in a port-a-potty. 1.00

00:19:26.000 Oh, I found that too at a gas station in Manhattan. 0.99

00:19:30.000 Did he stop?

00:19:31.000 Because this guy didn't stop.

00:19:32.000 No, he looked me in the eyes.

00:19:35.000 We need a palate cleanse.

00:19:36.000 How about this?

00:19:37.000 Easter is coming up.

00:19:38.000 Thank God.

00:19:41.000 We can move away from all the sex talk!

00:19:44.000 Well, the reason we wanted to have some levity is because the next story is pretty heavy.

00:19:46.000 Yes, it really is.

00:19:48.000 The Jesus is Risen shirt, go to kradershop.com.

00:19:55.000 Help us please, Lord, this place is terrible!

00:19:57.000 As funny as it is, it really is foundational to society.

00:20:00.000 You lose the male-female dynamics, you lose the nuclear family, you lose Western civilization. 0.80

00:20:06.000 This is a problem, and people can scream until they're blue in the face. 0.80

00:20:09.000 I mean, I will say this, with feminists, and we're seeing, funny enough, a shift now. 1.00

00:20:14.000 Feminists, and you remember the Me Too, Time's Up movement, and of course, we're not talking about monsters who actually raped people. 1.00

00:20:18.000 We all agree those people should be buried beneath the prison. 0.98

00:20:20.000 Okay, we get it.

00:20:21.000 But there were a lot of people who were falsely accused and it became a witch hunt.

00:20:25.000 And feminists in the 21st century, it's the only movement that will literally create gatherings, events centered around protesting compliments as catcalling. 1.00

00:20:38.000 And then turn around two, three, four years later now and say there are no good men left and why is chivalry dead?

00:20:45.000 Well, take a guess.

00:20:48.000 You're killing it. 0.82

00:20:49.000 Yeah. Yeah. 0.99

00:20:50.000 Take it.

00:20:50.000 And I, but catcall.

00:20:51.000 I get it.

00:20:52.000 They come over.

00:20:52.000 I understand.

00:20:54.000 A compliment, holding the door, I've had women complain if I hold the door for them. 1.00

00:20:58.000 Yes, or trying to go talk to somebody.

00:20:59.000 We've talked about this before in the Gillette commercial.

00:21:01.000 That was kind of the peak of it where I was like, are you kidding me?

00:21:03.000 Yeah. Like seeing an attractive girl walk by and going, oh, I'm going to go talk to her. 1.00

00:21:07.000 That's a problem.

00:21:08.000 Yep. What do you want us to do?

00:21:09.000 It's like just holding a door open.

00:21:11.000 She's like, I'm not getting in your van.

00:21:12.000 I'm like, all right.

00:21:13.000 Yeah. I was trying to be nice, you know.

00:21:17.000 Not even a new van.

00:21:19.000 No. Well, that's expensive.

00:21:20.000 You gotta max your looks and then she'd get in the paneled van. 1.00

00:21:25.000 Next story here, this is one that, and this is a, let me know, comment below if you have seen this story, because if you've already seen the story, that means that you're not watching Legacy Media.

00:21:37.000 This is one of the top trends on pretty much all the social platforms right now, and it has not been covered by Legacy Media.

00:21:43.000 So-called mainstream news outlets.

00:21:46.000 This really does show that divide, and I have a hunch as to why.

00:21:51.000 Yesterday, and I warn you, this is a heartbreaking story, a boy named Austin Metcalf, a white student was stabbed to death by Carmelo Anthony, a black student, and I know what you're thinking, another basketball player went broke and is robbing high school students?

00:22:09.000 That would be...

00:22:11.000 Oh, wrong Carmelo Anthony.

00:22:12.000 Different Carmel.

00:22:14.000 I don't follow the sports, so Josh told me...

00:22:16.000 It's okay.

00:22:17.000 It's funny.

00:22:19.000 He plays basketball, correct?

00:22:20.000 The story's so sad, we have to find a way.

00:22:21.000 Yeah. So, there was a black student, and this was at a track meet, a stabbing.

00:22:27.000 People use the term senseless killing, and yeah, most killing is senseless, but often you can find a motivation, or you can find some kernel of Warped as it may be, reasoning from the killer's point of view.

00:22:44.000 Now, I understand they're psychopaths, they can be sociopaths, but sometimes there's something we go, okay, this is where it went wrong.

00:22:50.000 In this case, it truly does meet the definition of a completely senseless killing.

00:22:56.000 And that's why it's so heartbreaking.

00:22:57.000 It happened in Frisco, Texas.

00:22:58.000 Here's a briefing.

00:22:59.000 Frisco Memorial High School community will honor a student today after he was stabbed to death at a track meet.

00:23:04.000 Yesterday morning, 17-year-old Austin Metcalf was at a District 11 5A track meet at Kukendall Stadium.

00:23:12.000 Frisco police say around 10 a.m., 17-year-old Carmelo Anthony stabbed Metcalf in the chest after some sort of fight.

00:23:19.000 It's unclear how Anthony got the knife into the meet or exactly what led up to the fight.

00:23:24.000 Anthony now facing first-degree murder charges.

00:23:27.000 It's tragic.

00:23:27.000 And actually, here's a look at, of course, this has touched a lot of people, the violent protests in reaction to the stabbing.

00:23:39.000 Starting to get the picture?

00:23:41.000 Now, I'm going to be quite clear about this.

00:23:44.000 This is not racially motivated, as far as we know, but to act as though there isn't a component or a pattern that people recognize, that would only serve to breed more racism.

00:23:54.000 We do need to have an honest conversation about this, especially as white Americans who have been browbeaten as the greatest domestic terror threat, as what white supremacy, of course, labeled as the greatest threat to national security.

00:24:07.000 We've seen that.

00:24:10.000 And it's untrue.

00:24:12.000 And you can't solve a problem if you don't actually understand the nature of the problem.

00:24:16.000 So social media trending everywhere, top five, certainly right now on X. As of the time of this broadcast, The mentions of this story on national media, one on CNN online, zero at MSNBC, and the local headlines conspicuously omit the race of the perpetrator.

00:24:38.000 Let's look at Dallas Morning News.

00:24:39.000 Frisco ISD student fatally stabbed at high school track meet.

00:24:44.000 Fort Worth Star-Telegram, North Texas student stabbed at track meet dies.

00:24:48.000 Suspect arrested, Frisco police say.

00:24:52.000 And this isn't just whataboutism.

00:24:54.000 This is recognizing social engineering for an agenda.

00:24:59.000 It would be one thing to say, well, the race doesn't matter.

00:25:02.000 I don't agree with that if you see a statistical trend.

00:25:06.000 And I certainly don't agree with that when you understand this in context.

00:25:09.000 Do we have an apples-to-apples comparison?

00:25:11.000 Yeah, let's look at the media headlines when it's black on white.

00:25:14.000 Last week, viral video depicts unprovoked assault at Ashbrook High School.

00:25:21.000 Right? We can look at it when it's white on black, but this is another one.

00:25:26.000 Last week, okay.

00:25:28.000 So you see that headline, and I warn you, this is very upsetting.

00:25:32.000 Here's the video.

00:25:43.000 And here's the thing.

00:25:51.000 You heard the laughing, right?

00:25:53.000 You heard the laughing?

00:25:54.000 By the way, that boy Ethan, he had a broken skull bone.

00:25:59.000 This happened at LeBron James' I Promise school.

00:26:02.000 There were three young black men involved.

00:26:06.000 I don't know exactly what has happened with this stabbing here in Frisco, but I do know this.

00:26:12.000 Someone who stabbed somebody over asking for them to, what we know is, move seats.

00:26:18.000 Like, hey, you're sitting in the wrong place.

00:26:20.000 That's someone who has had a simmering, festering hatred that has been instilled in them.

00:26:27.000 So it begs the question, why?

00:26:30.000 This is not something that we typically see.

00:26:32.000 We don't see someone stab another student simply for being asked to move chairs.

00:26:37.000 And we in this country, let's be honest, we've seen beatings at schools.

00:26:44.000 We didn't see that once upon a time in this country, and we certainly would never expect to hear a third of the classroom laughing.

00:26:51.000 Right. And just to be clear, the Ethan thing, that was a separate incident.

00:26:53.000 That wasn't from that.

00:26:54.000 Oh, I'm sorry.

00:26:55.000 Separate. It's fine.

00:26:55.000 No, outside.

00:26:56.000 And the perps were obviously, in this case, for the example, three black men. 0.90

00:26:59.000 Yeah. You don't hear that. 0.94

00:27:01.000 You just see the headline there.

00:27:02.000 Oh, this is a different story.

00:27:03.000 I'm sorry.

00:27:03.000 I have the way I have it in my notes.

00:27:05.000 So there's another one.

00:27:05.000 Yeah. Three black men.

00:27:06.000 Here's another one. 0.99

00:27:07.000 Teen girl allegedly slugs Asian woman, attacks witnesses in possible hate crime on Instagram.

00:27:13.000 NYC subway.

00:27:14.000 Again, they mentioned the victim, but they don't mention the perpetrator.

00:27:19.000 Do you remember the stop Asian hate?

00:27:21.000 Remember that when that was going on?

00:27:22.000 And that died away.

00:27:23.000 That died off really quickly because Asian Americans were no longer a useful pawn from the left. 0.86

00:27:28.000 They don't study interracial crime the way they used to.

00:27:32.000 They changed the method of sort of registering these crimes.

00:27:35.000 I believe it was in 2018.

00:27:36.000 We've covered that before.

00:27:38.000 So we had to use a sample study that showed over 80% of all violent crimes in the Bay Area were black against Asian.

00:27:46.000 That matters. 0.62

00:27:47.000 Let's contrast this with media headlines when it's white perpetrators and black victims. 0.97

00:27:52.000 White teen allegedly tried to drown black child in racially charged attack. 0.94

00:27:57.000 Here's another one.

00:27:58.000 Three white men are found guilty of murder in the killing of Ahmaud Arbery.

00:28:01.000 Here's another one.

00:28:02.000 White man will stand trial for shooting black teen Ralph Yarle, who went to wrong house.

00:28:07.000 Judge rules.

00:28:09.000 Now, again, if it was consistent, okay.

00:28:12.000 But why does it statistically, observably, only take place when there's a specific race involved?

00:28:20.000 Yeah. As far as, if you're white, it will be listed.

00:28:23.000 If you're a black criminal, probably not. 1.00

00:28:27.000 And that, just like legacy media, there's a huge chasm between what they are covering and what you care about with this story. 0.97

00:28:36.000 There's a huge difference in the coverage here, in labeling perpetrators and victims, versus statistical reality.

00:28:43.000 According to the FBI, black offenders, if you look at crimes, blacks against whites in this country, blacks are two and a half times more likely to commit a crime against a white person than a white person against a black person.

00:28:55.000 Look, if you were to add up All of the Klan's lynchings, as horrible as they are, just to be clear, it wouldn't amount to the kind of violence that you see from black people in this country against white people and Asian people. 0.96

00:29:10.000 Doesn't that matter?

00:29:12.000 Do you think you're going to quell hatred by breeding more of it?

00:29:16.000 And I do actually have this here.

00:29:17.000 Yeah, it was sent in 2008.

00:29:19.000 Is when the Bureau of Justice stopped publishing data on interracial crime.

00:29:23.000 Why? And you see a trend before that going, oh, more black against all other races. 0.99

00:29:28.000 Now this is not, of course, to say all black people.

00:29:31.000 This is to say that there is a reality, and when there's a trend, anywhere else you would study this to see, okay, what's the causation?

00:29:40.000 Here we don't.

00:29:41.000 You can comment, why do you think that is?

00:29:44.000 And do you think that that is doing a gross disservice to The next generation in this country.

00:29:48.000 I do have a hunch, though, too.

00:29:51.000 Sometimes it's because of the reaction from those directly involved with the crimes, the victims.

00:29:57.000 And I would state that there's a noticeable difference between the reaction.

00:30:03.000 Here's the father of Austin, the victim here, discussing his son's death, and we'll contrast that with what you're often used to.

00:30:11.000 The sad part about it is he died in his brother's arms.

00:30:13.000 They were twins, identical twins.

00:30:15.000 And his brother was holding on to him, trying to make it stop bleeding.

00:30:20.000 And he died in his brother's arms.

00:30:22.000 I'm not trying to judge, but...

00:30:25.000 What kind of parents did this child have?

00:30:28.000 What was he taught?

00:30:29.000 He brought a knife to a track meet, and he murdered my son by stabbing him in the heart.

00:30:35.000 And you know what?

00:30:37.000 I already forgave this person.

00:30:39.000 Already? Already.

00:30:41.000 God takes care of things.

00:30:43.000 God's gonna take care of me.

00:30:45.000 Guys don't take care of my family.

00:30:47.000 Well, that's not catnip for the media.

00:30:50.000 Like George Floyd's family.

00:30:52.000 Remember, I think his father showed up, who they hadn't seen in a very long time.

00:30:54.000 Remember Jordan Neely, who was choked by Sergeant Penny on the subway?

00:31:00.000 Of course, he was exonerated completely because Jordan Neely was violent and threatening people on the subway.

00:31:05.000 Well, let's contrast what we just saw there in Frisco with Jordan Neely's dad and how he reacted after his son died.

00:31:13.000 This was everywhere.

00:31:14.000 I didn't have to go through this either.

00:31:18.000 It hurts.

00:31:20.000 Really, really hurts.

00:31:23.000 What are we gonna do, people?

00:31:26.000 What's gonna happen to us now?

00:31:32.000 I had enough of this.

00:31:34.000 The system is rigged.

00:31:37.000 Even though your son was actually the criminal?

00:31:40.000 That man's son was the criminal and he was blaming everyone else.

00:31:43.000 The media covers it.

00:31:44.000 It's the same dude who kicked that same son out of his home.

00:31:46.000 Yep. Yep.

00:31:47.000 They want everything to do with him.

00:31:49.000 In Frisco, this man's son was a...

00:31:51.000 There's no gray area.

00:31:52.000 Was the victim of a senseless killing.

00:31:55.000 And he forgave him.

00:31:58.000 What kind of a society do you want to live in?

00:32:00.000 What kind of a society...

00:32:01.000 Let's take...

00:32:02.000 Now let's take race out of it. 0.97

00:32:04.000 Which kind of dad do you want to emulate?

00:32:07.000 Hey, what kind of dad do you want to emulate?

00:32:08.000 Which kind of dad do you want to have clout to affect political change?

00:32:13.000 You lived through the Black Lives Matter riots, right? 0.81

00:32:16.000 You know the end result of the policy changes, the defunding police, the catch and release, the no cash bail?

00:32:20.000 We lived through that.

00:32:23.000 How do we want to structure our society?

00:32:27.000 What do we want it to look like?

00:32:29.000 It's very clear where the media lines up.

00:32:31.000 It's very clear where your intelligence agencies, where your three-letter agencies line up.

00:32:34.000 And to me, it's very clear how you, the American people, by the way, of all races, line up.

00:32:40.000 That's what I notice with this.

00:32:42.000 That's the dynamic I see.

00:32:43.000 Now, let's move on to something a little bit more technical and a little less heavy.

00:32:49.000 Yes. If you guys have anything to add, but I think we...

00:32:51.000 It's hard.

00:32:51.000 It's just hard to talk about something like that.

00:32:53.000 You know, your heart breaks the whole situation.

00:32:57.000 Yeah. It's just absolutely terrifying as a father.

00:33:01.000 Respect to that father too, by the way.

00:33:02.000 Yeah, absolutely.

00:33:03.000 He's a better man than I am.

00:33:04.000 I wouldn't have such words to say.

00:33:05.000 Yeah, especially so quickly after.

00:33:06.000 I mean, but that's, you know, that's what somebody's faith can do.

00:33:09.000 It can be, it literally can be the bedrock in your life.

00:33:12.000 And, uh, unfortunately that bedrock was tested in this man's life, but.

00:33:16.000 Obviously he's he looked at this there was another clip and he was talking about a sweet moment with his son and it's again hard to talk about this because I have kids and yeah you just you imagine them in these scenarios and it makes you angry and he's talking like hey it's not goodbye it's I'll see you later mm-hmm it's a different it's a different thing and don't have that kind of faith don't mistake our you know Christians our compassion for weakness or that we don't seek justice because I don't want us to be sitting ducks either no you can forgive someone and Still be perfectly fine

00:33:47.000 with our system, you know, setting up the meeting between that person and God.

00:33:51.000 The rest of it is between them.

00:33:52.000 So that's the problem, is we have had a society that has been based on Christian principles for a very long time. 0.75

00:33:57.000 It kind of had to be an unwritten agreement, otherwise this doesn't work.

00:34:02.000 But you can't have one group, and I mean progressive left, I mean the propaganda that is being pushed, the race baiting.

00:34:07.000 You can't have one group taking advantage of the compassion and empathy of the group that has come before them.

00:34:14.000 That's the dynamic that we see today, and there needs to be compassion, forgiveness, sure, as a Christian, but there also needs to be a strong sword as well, because this is a problem that's not going to go away unless we address it.

00:34:28.000 Political correctness be damned.

00:34:30.000 So let's go to, hey, Liberation Day.

00:34:32.000 Yeah, that was yesterday.

00:34:33.000 President Trump's Liberation Day, which means tariffs for everyone, and there's a lot of math going around.

00:34:39.000 A lot of people saying it's the end of the world.

00:34:41.000 Some people saying this is a good thing.

00:34:43.000 Overall, I will tell you, there's a lot of good news.

00:34:45.000 There are some winners.

00:34:46.000 There are some losers. 0.96

00:34:47.000 The biggest loser is China, which I'm a fan of. 1.00

00:34:50.000 Not because they're Chinese, but because the country is communist. 0.95

00:34:53.000 It's time for the latest installment of the Terrifier.

00:34:59.000 Sir.

00:35:07.000 Okay, I'm back.

00:35:09.000 I know.

00:35:10.000 It's still funny.

00:35:12.000 It's never not going to be funny. 0.99

00:35:15.000 So like we said, biggest loser, China. 1.00

00:35:16.000 Biggest winner, surprisingly, Mexico, because they kind of showed you how to handle this right. 1.00

00:35:20.000 Yeah. They screwed Canada twice, and they're doing a pretty good job.

00:35:25.000 Canada was omitted from the master list because they're individually going to be stuffed.

00:35:33.000 We're not even going to be addressing Canada, but there are some dynamics here that maybe people aren't considering.

00:35:40.000 For example, if you look at a lot of these poor South American countries like Nicaragua, I don't think you maybe know this, if these countries have to end their reciprocal tariffs, it may allow them to come out of the third world if some of these countries can for the first time have Actual access to affordable American goods.

00:35:58.000 I'm not talking about an iPad and Grock.

00:36:00.000 I'm talking about basic appliances, things that we take for granted that they can't access because their government is protectionist.

00:36:06.000 So that's an underlying theme here that I'm not hearing a lot of people talk about.

00:36:10.000 But of course, we do have here to discuss this because he's, I guess, yeah, let's just say expert on cable news.

00:36:17.000 I say expert even if they're not on international policy and relations.

00:36:21.000 It's Lane the Brain.

00:36:27.000 All right, laying the- I'll take it.

00:36:29.000 And in short sleeves with the overhead lights.

00:36:30.000 Look at that!

00:36:31.000 There you go.

00:36:32.000 That's a Mr. Universe.

00:36:34.000 I'm red-headed.

00:36:35.000 They wouldn't let me in.

00:36:35.000 That's true.

00:36:37.000 I know you don't really tan, but what have you- Freckle?

00:36:40.000 Have you ever tried the fake tan?

00:36:42.000 Like the body?

00:36:42.000 Like, what if you put that on you?

00:36:43.000 Yeah, when I did the Jacked Up commercial.

00:36:45.000 Oh, that's- For Santa Claus.

00:36:46.000 Okay. It wasn't bad, but- No, you looked good.

00:36:48.000 You looked really good.

00:36:50.000 Hey, Josh.

00:36:52.000 Enough about your van, Josh.

00:36:55.000 Elaine's already said no.

00:36:57.000 Before we get to everything else here, for those of you who maybe missed it, yesterday President Trump announced the new tariffs from the White House Rose Garden and presented a chart, and this has been the source of controversy.

00:37:10.000 We'll actually clarify that first as far as what the math is and how these tariffs have been calculated, because you've no doubt heard the reaction, but here's his announcement.

00:37:18.000 My fellow Americans, this is Liberation Day.

00:37:22.000 China, first row.

00:37:23.000 China Sixty-seven percent.

00:37:25.000 That's tariffs charged to the USA, including currency manipulation and trade barriers.

00:37:33.000 So, 67 percent.

00:37:35.000 I think you can, for the most part, see it.

00:37:37.000 Those with good eyes, with bad eyes.

00:37:38.000 We didn't want to bring the — it's very windy out here.

00:37:41.000 We didn't want to bring out the big charts because it had no chance.

00:37:44.000 So we're going to be charging — Someone there is nearsighted.

00:37:46.000 — a discounted reciprocal tariff of 34 percent, I think.

00:37:49.000 In other words, they charge us, we charge them, we charge them less, so how can anybody be upset?

00:37:54.000 And again, I don't blame the people for doing it.

00:37:57.000 I think they're very smart in doing it.

00:37:58.000 I blame the people that sat right in that Oval Office, right over there, right behind the Resolute Desk or whichever desk they chose.

00:38:06.000 And I know some of you, it's always funny how he has to toss something.

00:38:09.000 And for those of you who have bad eyes, you may, you think initially that seems like it might be petty.

00:38:13.000 It's even worse when you know that he went a step further.

00:38:19.000 Your lies, your fake news, bad eyes. 0.99

00:38:22.000 You have bad eyes! 0.99

00:38:24.000 He sent that...

00:38:24.000 He sent that to a journalist.

00:38:27.000 He did, yes.

00:38:28.000 In the moment, they were like, hey, what the...

00:38:30.000 Airdrop? Why?

00:38:32.000 I hope he's not talking about me.

00:38:36.000 Who could it be?

00:38:37.000 I left my contacts at the hotel.

00:38:40.000 You can't afford LASIK?

00:38:43.000 Human stigmatism, you know that.

00:38:46.000 And we're going to get to...

00:38:47.000 because one thing is there's been a lot of misinformation about there, and this is one of those areas where This is why you can line up a hundred economists and you'll have 50 say that this is awful, it's the end of the world, and 50 say, well, hold on a second, there's actually something here that you're not taking into consideration.

00:38:59.000 So some of what I'm going to present here, both of us, is our opinion and speculation.

00:39:05.000 Here's what is not speculation.

00:39:07.000 The media has taken a side, absolutely, and told you that this is the rapture.

00:39:14.000 President Trump announcing a massive worldwide series of tariffs.

00:39:18.000 In fact, bringing tariffs to levels that have not been seen, according to Fitch, since just before the first quarter.

00:39:26.000 Wrong. Bitch! 1.00

00:39:35.000 No. Now, before we go to some key facts here, Lane, I know you just said no, and honestly, that's all it really warrants. 1.00

00:40:04.000 No, that's incorrect. 1.00

00:40:05.000 It was so stupid. 1.00

00:40:06.000 But it is kind of amazing sometimes, even I'm surprised. 1.00

00:40:10.000 We usually use leftist sources because we want you to know what they're saying.

00:40:14.000 That's why we provide all the references, link in the description, today as every day.

00:40:18.000 There is no rational argument that they make.

00:40:21.000 Rachel Maddow.

00:40:22.000 He purposefully is tanking the economy.

00:40:25.000 Let me ask you this.

00:40:26.000 Even if you hate him, why would he do that?

00:40:31.000 You say he's a bloviating egotist.

00:40:34.000 Sure. Then he cares about his legacy.

00:40:37.000 Stalin didn't want to tank his economy. 1.00

00:40:41.000 He was an idiot. 1.00

00:40:43.000 Communism fails. 1.00

00:40:44.000 But he wanted to be exalted.

00:40:46.000 He wanted a bunch of statues.

00:40:48.000 Hitler didn't try and tank his economy. 0.85

00:40:51.000 No one would have a vested interest in tanking their economy, guaranteeing that their legacy is tarnished forever and their party has not a chance at midterms.

00:40:59.000 There's no rational argument to be presented for that statement.

00:41:03.000 only blind hatred.

00:41:06.000 Yes. She was a journalist that couldn't see very well.

00:41:08.000 Yes. I want to go to his point.

00:41:11.000 So the lady on CNN. 1.00

00:41:12.000 Yeah, that's what I do want to make that point because you mentioned we use leftist sources to kind of bolster our own arguments, which you should.

00:41:18.000 The source she's citing for China, South Korea, and Japan getting along is Chinese Central Television.

00:41:23.000 Which is the Chinese state media.

00:41:25.000 And immediately, the trade minister from Japan came out and said, uh, yeah, no, that didn't happen.

00:41:29.000 By the way, didn't she say Taiwan?

00:41:31.000 She very well could have.

00:41:32.000 She did say Taiwan.

00:41:34.000 Of course Chinese TV was like, and Taiwan also very happy.

00:41:38.000 And Japanese would be like, this a lie! 1.00

00:41:41.000 It's not true! 1.00

00:41:42.000 Shut up, you fangui! 1.00

00:41:43.000 Chinese are a liar! 1.00

00:41:45.000 Hey, all the Japanese talk, How can you tell when a Chinaman is lying? 1.00

00:41:51.000 His mouth is moving! 1.00

00:41:53.000 You look like the racist caricature off the ramen restaurant. 0.97

00:41:56.000 If they can find it, it's too funny. 0.95

00:41:57.000 Yes, very good.

00:41:59.000 Hey, Lane, who knew to take out literally hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of years of wars and hatred and violence, thousands, All we had to do was have terrorists.

00:42:08.000 Literally, before Jesus was on the planet, this was a war that was going on.

00:42:11.000 China and Korea are like, hey, we can be friends. 0.96

00:42:13.000 Literally, the basis for the entering into, you know, for World War II with the Japanese is wanting to create a superior pan-Pacific race, which specifically does not include Chinese people. 0.87

00:42:25.000 You think that our racism is bad?

00:42:27.000 Just look at how Asians treat other Asians. 1.00

00:42:29.000 To you, they look far more similar than Me, or even Lane, and a black American.

00:42:34.000 You don't know hatred until you see Japanese-Chinese. 1.00

00:42:38.000 But that ended up on CNN as by-God news! 0.92

00:42:41.000 My Korean coworker called Japanese devious little monkeys publicly and felt good about it. 1.00

00:42:46.000 Well, they weren't black, so it doesn't have the same connotation. 0.77

00:42:51.000 No, but I was like, I can't believe you said that.

00:42:53.000 Thanks, Gerald.

00:42:54.000 I can.

00:42:55.000 Well, I could, but yeah.

00:42:56.000 No, I'm saying it would have been.

00:42:57.000 Oh, sure.

00:42:58.000 So, let's go to some questions.

00:43:00.000 Key facts here is, okay, number one, like, what are reciprocal tariffs, right?

00:43:05.000 And the White House, along with that chart, presented some math that got community noted.

00:43:10.000 Their math equation is very complex.

00:43:12.000 We do actually have kind of the net result as far as what the math equation should look like.

00:43:18.000 We haven't been able to verify theirs.

00:43:19.000 But let's first go, what are reciprocal tariffs?

00:43:23.000 That's according to Donald Trump, not the media, who says it's the end of the world.

00:43:26.000 They're basically tariffs imposed on a country according to Whatever rate or penalty they charge us.

00:43:33.000 For nations that treat us badly, we will calculate the combined rate of all their tariffs, non-monetary barriers, and other forms of cheating.

00:43:41.000 And because we are being very kind, we're kind people.

00:43:46.000 Very kind.

00:43:47.000 But we will charge them approximately half of what they are and have been charging us.

00:43:53.000 And China will say, Thank you, Shermey!

00:43:56.000 Have another! 0.97

00:43:57.000 So, they presented this math saying this is how they came to the number because it's not just about the actual tariffs that they actually put up.

00:44:06.000 It's about a trade deficit, too.

00:44:07.000 So, in reality, this is what the math equation seems to be.

00:44:10.000 It's a trade deficit with the country divided by the imports from said country.

00:44:14.000 If you do that, all of these numbers add up.

00:44:17.000 And you know it works because the ones that are all 10% are all countries that we have trade surpluses with, and he's like, screw it, 10% for all of you.

00:44:24.000 Well, 10% was the base.

00:44:26.000 Yeah, 10% was the base.

00:44:27.000 That's what he's saying.

00:44:27.000 Why? No, no, no, I'm just saying, that's what he's saying.

00:44:29.000 10% was just the base, so it's just the number that they do.

00:44:31.000 That's why Brazil and Australia both have 10%.

00:44:33.000 Yeah, right.

00:44:34.000 So, and it brings us to, like, why is President Trump doing this?

00:44:37.000 Okay, here's the, that's key fact number two here, is the real reason is to try and reshore manufacturing.

00:44:44.000 To cut some trade deficits and ultimately to punish China.

00:44:49.000 And that's pretty important because we've talked about this my whole life, especially being around people in finance.

00:44:54.000 Well, China is the next great superpower.

00:44:56.000 And everyone just assumed it.

00:44:57.000 Everyone knows that this has been going on.

00:44:59.000 But for some reason, it was never covered.

00:45:01.000 For some reason, people were not aware of just how unfair the trade was with China.

00:45:06.000 And if nothing else, Donald Trump is drawing attention to it.

00:45:09.000 This almost seems like everything is designed to revolve around its Catering straight to China.

00:45:14.000 Yeah, and I think Lane to some of the points that you've made about this He's definitely taking aim at imbalances.

00:45:19.000 Yeah in trade, right?

00:45:21.000 But he's also looking at people who are doing things with tariffs against us that he's trying to just correct in general because they're hurting us Yeah, it's bigger than that Well, yeah, then to Stephen's point, there are other things that are not just tariffs like, you know, greenhouse gas emission regulations or environmental regulations that make our products impossible to sell places.

00:45:38.000 But with the two points, like to re-shore manufacturing near shore to a place like Mexico and punish China, they're one and the same because China has taken our manufacturing base by manufacturing things very cheaply, subsidizing them, and then flooding other markets with them, even when they're taking losses, just so they can occupy market space. 0.70

00:45:55.000 Right. It's called overcapacity, and it's what their entire economy is based off of.

00:45:59.000 Yes. And that is why there's no longer a middle class in Ohio or a place like Gary, Indiana, because of this problem.

00:46:06.000 Right. Well, just like we've said that as far as national defense for the Western world, you, the American taxpayer, you subsidize it, right?

00:46:12.000 It's you.

00:46:13.000 You, the American worker, subsidize it. 0.57

00:46:15.000 Same can be said for putting people out of work in the United States.

00:46:18.000 That's the Chinese government subsidizing.

00:46:20.000 For decades.

00:46:21.000 Yeah. It's not capitalism versus capitalism.

00:46:23.000 No. A designed market specifically, it's not even designed to turn a profit, it's designed to destroy American economic stability.

00:46:32.000 I don't like to use the term elites, but this was the elites in America that were fine with this happening because they were going to reap the short-term benefits of it.

00:46:38.000 It's the McKinsey method, it's the people, they don't care about growing a middle class, they care about patting their pocketbooks and that's why the Clintons and the Bushes and the World Trade Organizations Push to get China involved in this world system.

00:46:49.000 Right. And one thing I want to address too is, you know, the math.

00:46:51.000 The reason that that's necessary, you have some people going, well, why don't they just show the actual tariffs?

00:46:55.000 Okay. It's very difficult.

00:46:58.000 And I know this is going to sound nerdy.

00:46:59.000 We covered the Canadian dairy, for example, it's 250 something percent, right?

00:47:02.000 And people would argue, well, actually, that's only the top tier tariff.

00:47:05.000 And so, and we don't export enough dairy.

00:47:07.000 Well, yeah, because of that top tier tariff.

00:47:10.000 So if you're going to look at the average tariff, you're going to look at the average penalties, for example, in a place like Canada.

00:47:15.000 The average would be taken down because you go, well, hold on a second, we're only in that first tier because there's only about a 3% tariff for tax on dairy.

00:47:23.000 It's like, well, yeah, but there are more dairy farms, there's more dairy production in Wisconsin than all of Canada.

00:47:28.000 If not for that tariff, we'd be exporting a whole lot.

00:47:32.000 So what really is 250-something percent looks like zero, and that throws off the average.

00:47:37.000 So you can't just list a tariff.

00:47:39.000 It's a little more difficult.

00:47:40.000 And I do think that actually looking at that trade imbalance is an important metric.

00:47:44.000 And I think that Donald Trump knows that.

00:47:46.000 If nothing else, this is kind of his strong suit.

00:47:49.000 He understands this pretty well.

00:47:50.000 He's the only president, he is the only president, at least in the last two centuries, who has direct experience with this, in dealing with manufacturing, in dealing with supply chains, because of his businesses.

00:48:03.000 The other ones before him, they wouldn't.

00:48:05.000 They didn't have that experience in the private sector, and certainly not to this degree.

00:48:08.000 So some of this is new, and yeah, I get it, there's some instability in these uncertain times.

00:48:13.000 It's a good idea to be prepared for anything.

00:48:14.000 This is so nice.

00:48:16.000 Next time, it'll be even better, because I'll take you to a real restaurant, with real people, and a real building in the city.

00:48:25.000 What city?

00:48:26.000 The city?

00:48:51.000 I got three months of this My Patriot Supply.

00:48:54.000 My hero.

00:48:57.000 How's that?

00:48:59.000 So good.

00:49:00.000 Oh, I know.

00:49:01.000 It's my favorite.

00:49:41.000 Let's go back and we have Viva Frye coming on. 1.00

00:49:44.000 We've talked about this, but the biggest loser significantly here is China, right? 0.98

00:49:48.000 They've been hit with a 34% tariff on top of an existing 20%.

00:49:52.000 And by the way, back-door countries like Vietnam have also been hit with a huge rate.

00:49:58.000 for those who don't know, backdoor countries are countries that China uses to funnel their goods like this.

00:50:02.000 *laughter*

00:50:07.000 And you were telling me this, you know, President Trump also cancelled the de minimis protections for...

00:50:12.000 Places like Timu and Shine, that's where, if it was below a certain amount, it was exempt.

00:50:16.000 Yeah, it allowed the cheap manufacturers like Timu and Shine to export their goods under $800 without any duties.

00:50:22.000 Right. And so, basically, by getting rid of that protection, it will effectively ruin those companies' ability to export to the U.S., which is great.

00:50:29.000 You mean the ones that sell flammable children's onesies?

00:50:31.000 Those are the ones I'm talking about.

00:50:32.000 Don't buy from Timu.

00:50:33.000 Do not.

00:50:35.000 Yeah, don't.

00:50:35.000 That's huge.

00:50:37.000 Those companies will, if this sticks, will not exist.

00:50:39.000 Right. They will go out of business.

00:50:41.000 And I didn't know this, but are Taiwan semiconductors exempt?

00:50:44.000 So if you actually look at a lot of these countries, there's a whole list of products that are exempt from these tariffs that he didn't really talk about because it doesn't drive home his point, but semiconductors being one of them.

00:50:52.000 So almost like 60% of Taiwan's exports to the United States are in the semiconductor industry, so they're a little bit more protected than you'd initially think.

00:51:00.000 Is there something similar like that with Japan?

00:51:03.000 No, Japan, because most of theirs is automobiles.

00:51:06.000 Korea's getting similar cuts, too, because they have a lot of semiconductor exports to the United States.

00:51:09.000 Okay, so that's good to know.

00:51:11.000 And the biggest winner you're talking about here is Mexico.

00:51:14.000 This is something you're pretty passionate about, because all of the USMCA, the compliant goods, they're exempt.

00:51:20.000 So the same is true, by the way, for some of the auto tariffs that were announced last week.

00:51:24.000 Only the goods originating in other countries like China will be affected, which by sheer coincidence timed perfectly with the unveiling of China's newest gift to Mexico, the province of Guangdong.

00:51:41.000 It's racist two ways.

00:51:42.000 It's a nice workaround.

00:51:45.000 Guangdong is very hot and humid there.

00:51:46.000 It's a lot like Houston.

00:51:47.000 Is it?

00:51:48.000 It is, yes. 0.92

00:51:49.000 Except not as many fat people. 0.94

00:51:50.000 Prettier girls. 1.00

00:51:53.000 According to some.

00:51:55.000 They speak Cantonese, so do with that what you will.

00:51:57.000 I don't know what to do with that.

00:51:59.000 I hadn't really thought about it, to be honest with you.

00:52:01.000 But you made this point, too.

00:52:02.000 In Houston, they can't feel their knees.

00:52:03.000 When people talk about, oh, you're trying—one of the greatest things for the United States, or at least what could be a very big positive from this, would be an economically prosperous Mexico.

00:52:11.000 Correct. And now, if you have a chance for U.S. investment to come in there, they're still going to be able to export to the United States.

00:52:17.000 Their president has been very cordial in this whole deal.

00:52:20.000 She showed you how to deal with it, why the Canadians have showed how to act like children. 1.00

00:52:23.000 Yeah. And I think this will really benefit kind of that bilateral trade system.

00:52:27.000 And yeah, if you want the cartel gone, there's nothing better than every Mexican to have a, you know, a good paying job. 0.95

00:52:32.000 Yeah. Yeah.

00:52:32.000 Really. Also, uh, hopefully, uh, guns.

00:52:36.000 We can manufacture those.

00:52:37.000 Yeah. I mean, you know, Mexican citizens, not just the cartels, otherwise you end up with your head in a turtle.

00:52:42.000 It's one-sided.

00:52:43.000 The kind of, the biggest question mark, I guess, most uncertainty, right?

00:52:46.000 You're talking about this countries like Japan, Korea, Taiwan.

00:52:50.000 Right. This is one people are concerned about like they already have some pretty low tariff rates comparatively It's already very quite outside of a couple specific products like Japan has a high rice levy But I don't mind that because we don't export and we export a lot to them But the point is they can't really lower their tariffs much more I guess they could start increasing defense expend or defense buys But they're already doing that the Japanese are already investing a ton of money into the United States So I don't really know it I would like

00:53:20.000 us, and I think behind the scenes you'll get this in negotiations, but you're not seeing at least forward facing what is the ask from these countries that have apparently up until this point done everything that they've been asked to do.

00:53:30.000 So I can see where there'd be some confusion.

00:53:32.000 In those capitals, unless there's backdoor negotiations.

00:53:35.000 And historically, Donald Trump has been very amenable to negotiations with allies.

00:53:38.000 Correct. I would imagine this is a bargaining chip.

00:53:40.000 Look. The one thing I just, I'm sorry, I know we have time, is Vietnam is the one that's screwed in this. 1.00

00:53:45.000 Because so many companies reshored, or went from China to Vietnam to avoid this exact kind of tariff.

00:53:51.000 Right. Well now, that's not going to help them.

00:53:53.000 Vietnam already dropped all tariffs, and they can't really afford to buy anything else from us because they're not, they don't have the per capita GDP to do so.

00:54:03.000 Right. So, I don't know what they can do, maybe give us a naval base or something, but I feel very bad for the Vietnamese right now, and especially, that's the one country I'm looking at the most kind of hyper-focused because we really need that Vietnamese help if we're going to, you know, work vis-a-vis China in that region.

00:54:21.000 So, I wouldn't want to be in Hanoi today.

00:54:24.000 Hey, Vietnam, we won. 0.99

00:54:26.000 The long game.

00:54:26.000 Yeah, exactly.

00:54:27.000 I don't think that's the...

00:54:28.000 You think we forgot?

00:54:29.000 We didn't forget.

00:54:30.000 How's the tiny shoe feel on the other foot?

00:54:32.000 Let's pull a Korea, let's invest in the country, build it up, make it a first world country, then they can start buying our stuff. 0.98

00:54:37.000 There you go.

00:54:38.000 Well, what's fascinating too when we're talking about this, like the communism in China is they don't have the ability, right?

00:54:42.000 Their citizens don't have the ability to purchase a whole lot of U.S.

00:54:44.000 goods. And here's what's funny.

00:54:46.000 Like communism...

00:54:47.000 If people, you know, it's not a bunch of hipsters in coffee houses.

00:54:49.000 The idea is, okay, you're talking about the proletariat.

00:54:52.000 They're going to seize means of control and production, right?

00:54:54.000 And then they're going to be the ones to benefit from this instead of the business owners.

00:54:58.000 In China, they just get the worst parts of communism without even the false perks. 0.51

00:55:03.000 Like, there's very little social safety net.

00:55:05.000 So it's like, yeah, yeah, yeah, we're going to be communists, but all you workers, you're actually not going to be able to enjoy the fruits of your labor at all.

00:55:11.000 You're going to be in these factories.

00:55:13.000 Okay, we're going to control everything.

00:55:15.000 You're not going to have a social safety net. 0.91

00:55:16.000 And as soon as it's done, you get to make all the cool crap and it's gone to America. 0.92

00:55:21.000 So it's got to be, I often wonder how much this Chinese citizens have bought into the problem. 0.99

00:55:27.000 I don't know.

00:55:28.000 It's hard to tell, but someone referred to this as being like a Hiroshima moment for the Chinese economy, because what you're doing is you're taking away their ability to export, which is what their entire economy is driven off of, because they don't consume.

00:55:41.000 They've been trying to switch to a consumer market, but if you're a communist government, you can't give your consumers that much power, because then they start being able to dictate policy.

00:55:49.000 So what do they do?

00:55:50.000 They can't absorb the consumption from the other countries, and they can't export their way out of this anymore, because They don't have any place, they have massive tariffs even going to the other third-party countries.

00:56:02.000 This is a really great move as far as hedging against China.

00:56:05.000 Well, I do want to, maybe we can bring you back because we have Viva Frye on the line, of course, and we can go back, because I want to discuss South America.

00:56:11.000 A lot of people are sort of glossing past this.

00:56:13.000 I'd love to.

00:56:13.000 And a lot of Americans don't realize these places haven't even had their Industrial Revolution.

00:56:17.000 You have people who are sleeping in hammocks and still, you know, warming a can of beans over an old ironing board.

00:56:23.000 Some of these countries do have some purchasing power where if their own nations, if their own governments took off some of these tariffs, there would be American companies that sure would be great if they invest in manufacturing, but even before that could create some affordable goods and services that these people could finally use.

00:56:38.000 Things that we take for granted.

00:56:39.000 I'm talking about like an electric tea kettle could do something.

00:56:43.000 You know, I'm talking about these people are washing things all the time.

00:56:45.000 On washboards to this day.

00:56:47.000 They don't even necessarily have access to soap because it can be so expensive.

00:56:51.000 And these kinds of things could be exported that could fundamentally shift the economies for some of these nations that people are overlooking.

00:56:58.000 Also, look, guys, nothing's...

00:56:59.000 But we often complain that people don't do anything.

00:57:02.000 What did you think was going to change?

00:57:04.000 People say, I don't like the method.

00:57:06.000 Okay, you don't...

00:57:06.000 For 50 years, nothing has happened and these people are taking advantage of the United States.

00:57:10.000 You think one more ask, one more meeting, one more letter was going to make a difference?

00:57:15.000 We've tried it one way for over half a century.

00:57:19.000 Let's try it another way.

00:57:20.000 Unless you believe that he's simply trying to deliberately torpedo the economy as Rachel Maddow does.

00:57:25.000 I don't see how that makes sense.

00:57:27.000 But I do want to go back with you and I don't know if you have to go there and come back in or you can sit there.

00:57:31.000 I'll sit here.

00:57:32.000 I'll listen to you.

00:57:33.000 I like this guy.

00:57:33.000 I want to hear what he has to say.

00:57:36.000 Okay, he's gonna be here for about five minutes, then we're gonna send you to Tim Pool, but of course, if you're a Rumble Premium member, you get to continue with us interviewing Viva Frye.

00:57:45.000 You click that button right there to join Rumble Premium.

00:57:47.000 None of this happens without you.

00:57:49.000 Toolman, are you gonna hit? 0.77

00:57:51.000 I will. 0.69

00:57:53.000 All right.

00:57:54.000 Can you do the stinger?

00:57:55.000 Yes, I can do the stinger.

00:57:56.000 Okay, we have him on the line.

00:57:57.000 I hope he's there and make sure I can see him.

00:57:59.000 It's time to bring on Viva Frye! 1.00

00:58:06.000 All right, Mr. Frey, and you are at 4 p.m. Eastern on the Rumble exclusive lineup.

00:58:12.000 Can you see me, hear me, sir?

00:58:14.000 I can see and hear you.

00:58:15.000 That picture's a little not outdated, but that's back when I was young and naive.

00:58:19.000 Running for federal office in NDG, Steve.

00:58:22.000 Oh, that's right.

00:58:23.000 Yes, NDG. 1.00

00:58:24.000 What a silly place. 1.00

00:58:26.000 Look, Canada's looking mighty silly in general now, and only looks like it's getting worse. 0.99

00:58:31.000 But yeah, Notre-Dame de...

00:58:32.000 NDG Westmount was the riding that I ran in For the federal election in 2021.

00:58:37.000 And I thought things had gotten as crazy as they were going to get back in 2021.

00:58:40.000 Yeah. Four years later, it's on steroids.

00:58:42.000 I know.

00:58:43.000 So people who don't know Montreal, that's where I was raised.

00:58:45.000 My mom is from there.

00:58:47.000 And now, like many French Canadians, except I don't think you're wearing the Speedos and have an old hockey cut. 1.00

00:58:54.000 You're in Florida.

00:58:54.000 How do you like Florida compared to the cesspool that is Canada?

00:58:58.000 Every time I go back, it gets worse.

00:59:01.000 It feels more and more like an insane asylum.

00:59:03.000 I'm born and raised in Westbound, lived in NDG for a bit, lived in Quebec City, which is the Capital National, where I studied French for four years.

00:59:10.000 Every time I go back to Montreal, it's like a different city.

00:59:13.000 Homelessness is out of control. 0.96

00:59:15.000 They have now their safe injection sites two kilometers from where I used to live.

00:59:20.000 It's spiraling down the drain.

00:59:22.000 But the boogeyman is Donald Trump, apparently.

00:59:24.000 Yes, exactly.

00:59:25.000 And one thing, too, that's an interesting dynamic to me is, you know, you're here on the Rumble lineup, right?

00:59:28.000 Exclusively, you're at 4 p.m. Eastern, where people can livestream.

00:59:32.000 I think you follow Jeremy at the Quartering.

00:59:34.000 And in Canada, we only had the CBC, when I was there, we only had the CBC for news, which is, of course, basically propaganda.

00:59:41.000 It's like Pravda, but Canadian, so it seems nicer.

00:59:45.000 It was entirely funded by the government.

00:59:47.000 There were no other options.

00:59:48.000 When people complain about the corporate media, and I have my problems with corporate media, I go, well, the alternative is government media?

00:59:54.000 That's what we had in Canada, and look what you're doing right now.

00:59:56.000 Wouldn't it have been nice when we were there to have some kind of an alternative?

01:00:00.000 Well, it's an amazing thing.

01:00:01.000 Corporate media is government media in Canada.

01:00:04.000 You've got CBC, which is the Canada Broadcasting Corporation, or the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation.

01:00:08.000 Radio-Canada, which is Radio-Canada, the French version.

01:00:11.000 Then you've got CTV News, Global News, whatever else the local branches are.

01:00:15.000 It's all government-funded, either directly or indirectly, through government advertising, COVID subsidies, bailouts for print, advertising for digital.

01:00:25.000 It's all government run, government owned, government controlled.

01:00:28.000 And now we're entering into an election where the competition to the government is the one promising to defund the state funded media.

01:00:35.000 Well, that's what happened with Trudeau, right?

01:00:41.000 I think he promised a hundred and...

01:00:42.000 He either promised a hundred or a hundred and fifty million, and I think the NDP candidate promised like fifty or a hundred million.

01:00:47.000 There was a discrepancy of about fifty million, and they were like, I don't go with Trudeau!

01:00:51.000 Well, the NDP, which is the New Democratic Party, is tanking.

01:00:54.000 It looks like everyone that was voting for them is going to vote for the liberals now.

01:00:57.000 But yeah, it's a question of who can give the state-funded media more money compared to the conservative party, which wants to defund the CBC.

01:01:04.000 And you see it in the way they control the narrative, suppress dissident voices in the upcoming election and the 2021 election.

01:01:11.000 Yeah, it's it's insanity.

01:01:13.000 If people want to know what the left would do here in the United States, I mean, they would be at least Canada in a heartbeat if they had complete unfettered power.

01:01:19.000 And it's terrifying.

01:01:21.000 I know we're going I know people can tune in at 4pm for you.

01:01:23.000 We do have to go to Rumble Premier here.

01:01:25.000 But just let people know, what is Canada's end goal?

01:01:28.000 What do you think you sort of vis a vis the United States in this in this trade war right now?

01:01:33.000 Well, I don't know.

01:01:34.000 It looks like, I mean, if you go by the markets, it looks like Mark Carney, who now has a commanding lead in the markets and a ridiculous lead in the polls, but I don't trust the polls.

01:01:43.000 It looks like they're going to try to make enemies out of America, ally with Europe or Yeah, we're good.

01:01:54.000 themselves to be the enemy of the United States.

01:01:56.000 And it starts as fun and games on the tariff war.

01:01:59.000 But when it becomes actual issues for national security in terms of Chinese infiltration into Canadian government, Indian, uh, Terrorist elements infiltrating Canadian government, fentanyl, terrorists crossing the border.

01:02:10.000 Well, then it goes from being a tariff war to being something much more serious as far as national security goes for the United States.

01:02:15.000 Yeah, and it also makes me question their judgment because Canada has the United States to their south, right?

01:02:19.000 They've been a horrible neighbor, but they decide to ally with Europe. 1.00

01:02:22.000 Those guys are fags! 0.99

01:02:23.000 We're going to continue here on Rumble Premium with Viva Frey. 1.00

01:02:25.000 Fry! Fry! 1.00

01:02:26.000 Fry! For those of you who are not...

01:02:27.000 Don't worry!

01:02:28.000 Don't worry!

01:02:28.000 Keep watching.

01:02:29.000 You'll go straight to Tim Pool.

01:02:31.000 Let's go!

01:03:32.000 Hey guys, breaking!

01:03:33.000 Stocks are on sale!

01:03:35.000 Unless, oh sorry, or you could say it's the end of the world.

01:03:39.000 American goods are also on sale right now apparently too.

01:03:42.000 Yeah, so Viva, and I know we have a bunch of people here who, I'm sure a lot of them have questions, but let me ask you this though, because you were in law in Canada, is it just the judges or did you have to wear the silly outfits and wigs?

01:03:54.000 No, they don't have the wigs anymore in Canada.

01:03:56.000 They have the wigs still in the UK. 1.00

01:03:58.000 We do have those stupid things that are called frocks. 1.00

01:04:00.000 They're like, I don't have my gown anymore. 0.99

01:04:02.000 It's got like a black gown with a little white thing. 0.98

01:04:04.000 And apparently there's a difference between the men's and the women's frock. 0.98

01:04:07.000 And once upon a time, my father was wearing the female frock and apparently the judge said, you know.
