Transcript

00:00:00.000 So Trump opens up the door to 600,000 Chinese students amid Beijing trade talk.
00:00:06.840 So first, Trump threatens 200% tariffs on China over a key part that shut down U.S. car
00:00:13.160 plants.
00:00:13.880 Okay, so this is straight up the same day he's doing this, he's doing the other side.
00:00:19.160 He says, Trump says, if I wanted to destroy China, I would, but I want to have a great
00:00:23.260 relationship with them.
00:00:24.720 Rob, I know I just called you Ji-Rob.
00:00:26.740 If we have a couple of these clips, I want to go through it.
00:00:29.420 Is this the one I want to have a good relationship with them?
00:00:31.480 This is the 200% tariffs.
00:00:33.380 I also have that one as well.
00:00:34.580 Okay, so let's go with the 200% tariffs and we'll go through these and we'll react.
00:00:38.120 But we have a very strong relationship, Howard, I would say, economically with China now getting
00:00:43.780 much better.
00:00:45.460 They have to give us magnets.
00:00:47.000 If they don't give us magnets, then we have to charge them 200% tariff or something, you
00:00:52.260 know?
00:00:52.900 But we're not going to have a problem, I don't think, with that.
00:00:55.820 I think that's perhaps behind us.
00:00:58.140 General China intelligently went and they sort of took a monopoly of the world's magnets.
00:01:03.620 And nobody needed magnets until they convinced everybody 20 years ago, let's all do magnets.
00:01:08.380 There were many other ways that the world could have gone.
00:01:10.640 But so far, it'll take us probably a year to have them.
00:01:14.380 We're heavy into the world of magnets now, only from a national security standpoint.
00:01:18.800 But we have a powerful thing.
00:01:22.620 It's airplane parts.
00:01:24.020 They have many Boeing jets.
00:01:25.560 You know, they had 200 jets that didn't fly.
00:01:28.120 And I've sent them all.
00:01:29.360 Based on his word, I sent them all of the parts so their planes can fly.
00:01:35.780 I could have held them back.
00:01:36.860 I didn't do that because of the relationship I have.
00:01:40.040 And their planes are now flying.
00:01:42.200 You know, we had 200 of their planes were unable to fly because we were not giving them Boeing
00:01:48.200 parts purposely because they weren't giving.
00:01:50.760 You can pause that right there.
00:01:51.700 So he's doing this.
00:01:52.700 He's doing the Trump negotiation thing.
00:01:55.000 The magnets, they convince.
00:01:56.260 I hope they don't do that.
00:01:57.260 We'll see if they don't.
00:01:58.380 200% tariffs.
00:01:59.180 We don't want to do that.
00:01:59.940 We want to have a good relationship.
00:02:01.640 And this is what?
00:02:02.180 This is him and Xi?
00:02:03.080 This is where he says he could destroy China.
00:02:05.060 Go ahead.
00:02:05.520 In front of them.
00:02:06.360 We're going to have a great relationship with China.
00:02:08.200 I mean, it's happening.
00:02:09.380 You see it.
00:02:09.980 It's happening.
00:02:12.380 They have some cards.
00:02:13.720 We have incredible cards.
00:02:15.260 But I don't want to play those cards.
00:02:16.440 If I played those cards, that would destroy China.
00:02:19.540 I'm not going to play those cards.
00:02:21.740 It's so typical of Trump.
00:02:23.820 All the guys sitting right there.
00:02:25.520 Tom.
00:02:25.680 You saw the face of the other guy?
00:02:26.780 The other guy's just like.
00:02:28.040 So, Tom, three things here.
00:02:30.720 600,000 Chinese students.
00:02:32.460 Rob, do you have that one?
00:02:33.500 That's this one right here.
00:02:34.540 Go ahead.
00:02:34.980 Keep going.
00:02:35.660 President Xi would like me to come to China.
00:02:38.260 It's a very important relationship.
00:02:40.900 As you know, we're taking a lot of money in from China because of the tariffs and different
00:02:45.740 things.
00:02:46.240 And it's a very important relationship.
00:02:48.900 We're going to get along good with China.
00:02:51.000 I hear so many stories about we're not going to allow their students.
00:02:53.860 We're going to allow their students to come in.
00:02:56.000 We're going to allow.
00:02:56.660 It's very important.
00:02:57.520 600,000 students.
00:02:59.040 It's very important.
00:03:00.180 But we're going to get along with China.
00:03:01.600 But it's a different relationship that we have.
00:03:04.380 Tom, three topics, specifically China relationship, 600,000 students, 200 percent tariffs.
00:03:11.160 Thoughts on this?
00:03:12.060 So, first of all, the president's making nothing signed.
00:03:14.840 And the president is trying to set the table to have a relationship with China or to have
00:03:20.640 some kumbaya here to get to the real meat.
00:03:23.520 This is just this is just the hors d'oeuvres and the salad.
00:03:25.780 The meat of the meal is the big time trade deal and what's going on.
00:03:30.760 And magnets is one of the key items.
00:03:32.760 That's why he's bringing it up.
00:03:34.040 Chips is one of the others.
00:03:35.500 Security for Taiwan is one of the others.
00:03:37.340 So there is a big negotiation coming up.
00:03:40.480 Step one, make everybody feel good.
00:03:42.100 However, in one of these steps, 600,000 students coming to the U.S., China has been trying to
00:03:50.380 get more students here as part of their cradle to the grave spy program.
00:03:55.620 And so it seemed to me that if we suddenly open the doors to 600,000 Chinese students, good grief, they buy up land next to our military bases.
00:04:06.200 They're buying up farmland.
00:04:08.180 It seems to me that this particular item, I want to see the fine print PBD, but it would concern me that you're basically giving them the ability to say, oh, these 600,000 students.
00:04:20.160 But some of them are obviously spy plants.
00:04:23.140 And so that makes me kind of nervous because I know what he's trying to do.
00:04:29.240 Relationship first, where he got a good relationship, get some parts for airplanes, step one, get the big trade deal.
00:04:36.260 But along the way, this to me just seems very...
00:04:39.960 The 600 makes you uncomfortable?
00:04:41.380 Yeah, it makes me damn uncomfortable because they're trying to get here.
00:04:44.420 Do you think that is one of the chips that China is putting in here, that in order for them to agree to X, Y, Z, you have to allow 600,000 of our students to come to you, they get trained here, and then come back to China?
00:04:57.160 Do you think that's one of China's important asks?
00:05:00.460 I think so.
00:05:01.200 Okay.
00:05:01.680 Because I know that Xi thinks long.
00:05:03.360 I know.
00:05:04.020 China thinks long term.
00:05:05.000 We only have three and a half years left with President Trump, and that's a long time for him.
00:05:09.700 But a longer time is these Chinese students in the next 30 years are going to be in politics.
00:05:14.960 They're going to have influence in companies, and they're going to report things back to China.
00:05:18.360 Their loyalty is going to be to possibly them.
00:05:21.880 Would you put that as one of the chips if, in return, you're able to get Panama Canal?
00:05:29.380 Let's process that.
00:05:30.680 You're representing Trump.
00:05:32.260 I'm representing China.
00:05:34.100 Hey, Tom, we will allow the C.K. Hutchinson deal to go through, and that's going to give you the Panama Canal, okay, which is a big risk for us.
00:05:43.980 Some would even say it's a greater risk.
00:05:45.900 But in return, you have to allow me to have 600,000 students of ours to come to you and be educated in your country.
00:05:51.880 I would do that deal, and I'll tell you why.
00:05:54.120 Because I get the canal done, and then I get my people and Panama's people and the joint military exercise there.
00:05:59.760 So now it's secure.
00:06:00.860 And then later, I can filter, and I can put restrictions on who's coming in, and I can do monitoring.
00:06:09.720 So if it's canal first and then everything else, I can always change the immigration status and the observation, my surveillance later.
00:06:18.260 Vinny?
00:06:18.580 I have a problem with it.
00:06:20.100 I have a huge, huge problem, and I get the tactical business negotiation standpoint, but that 600 students from China is not America first.
00:06:30.240 600,000.
00:06:31.020 My bad.
00:06:31.720 600,000 is not.
00:06:33.300 Let's not forget, China, I hate the word adversary.
00:06:37.200 I know everybody wants to tell us that it's Russia and Israel.
00:06:40.200 No, no.
00:06:40.920 China is our number one enemy.
00:06:43.260 Period.
00:06:43.960 Pat, to me, end of story.
00:06:45.120 Okay, this is the same country that unleashed COVID.
00:06:48.240 Still, not one piece of accountability.
00:06:51.340 Tom, you nailed it.
00:06:52.500 Stealing all of our stuff, buying land next to all of our military bases, which I'm happy that they freaking finally banned.
00:06:57.900 This news just came out.
00:06:59.100 Buying farmland, sending spies over with crop contaminations.
00:07:03.040 Crop point to try to ruin our agriculture.
00:07:04.800 This just came out today.
00:07:05.780 Chinese doctor accused of stealing confidential U.S.-funded cancer research.
00:07:09.400 Now you're going to let in 600,000 of these students?
00:07:11.480 And Tom, just students, and I know he said that he might, he's going to vet them and stuff.
00:07:16.700 You can't really trust them.
00:07:17.980 I can't.
00:07:18.800 And by the way, American kids can't afford college.
00:07:22.000 Okay, our kids are drowning in debt.
00:07:23.440 All this is happening.
00:07:24.440 And you're going to give over half a million of these kids?
00:07:27.820 No, I don't like that, Pat.
00:07:29.020 They've been robbing us for decades.
00:07:30.600 I think America first is America first.
00:07:32.800 Not China.
00:07:33.780 Not Xi.
00:07:34.780 Not Gavin Newsom.
00:07:35.900 When this guy comes to freaking San Francisco, you toss out all the homeless people and wave Chinese flags.
00:07:41.140 Not American flags.
00:07:42.360 I'm not with it at all, bro.
00:07:43.560 This is, and I get, everybody's always like, are you supposed to, you love Trump?
00:07:47.580 No, no.
00:07:47.960 I'm calling him out.
00:07:48.740 I don't like it.
00:07:49.880 Put, you know, yesterday we're having a conversation.
00:07:54.300 I was obviously joking.
00:07:56.500 And I said, there's the emotional voter.
00:07:58.740 There is the logical voter.
00:08:01.000 Okay.
00:08:01.860 And we all first start off with which one?
00:08:03.760 Emotion.
00:08:04.280 All of us.
00:08:04.840 100%.
00:08:05.360 Me more than anybody.
00:08:06.600 Not you.
00:08:07.260 I'm just saying every one of us.
00:08:08.840 One of the things that, what is the benefit of being a comedian?
00:08:14.520 We emotionally fall in love with you.
00:08:16.480 Like I have emotionally fallen in love with, when I sat in my bed and I'm showing all the
00:08:20.680 clips to Jen, 30 clips back to back to back.
00:08:22.880 And I'm laughing my ass off.
00:08:23.900 I'm in the office.
00:08:24.420 I'm like, this guy's freaking good.
00:08:26.600 I love this guy.
00:08:27.680 I've never met you in my life.
00:08:28.660 I don't know who you are.
00:08:29.580 I didn't even know there was an Assyrian comedian.
00:08:31.480 Then you come in and then we sit.
00:08:33.980 And then the relationship logically is like, this could actually turn into something, right?
00:08:39.180 Okay.
00:08:39.900 Think, put a business hat on.
00:08:41.920 Even though you've not been in business, you're making more money than you've ever made before
00:08:44.800 in your life.
00:08:45.240 So it's a special month, half a million.
00:08:47.200 I know what's coming.
00:08:48.000 All this stuff that you're doing, right?
00:08:49.500 You're actually finally making real money for yourself.
00:08:52.080 Okay.
00:08:52.220 So you have the offer.
00:08:56.960 I'm asking to represent America long-term threats.
00:09:00.280 You're saying China's long-term threat.
00:09:02.600 You're trying to negotiate with this country and get them to do certain things they typically
00:09:06.840 wouldn't do.
00:09:07.880 You have one of two choices.
00:09:09.760 You want me to approve the C.K.
00:09:11.820 Hutchinson to allow BlackRock and whoever to buy it.
00:09:14.000 So it's a U.S.-owned property, the Panama Canal.
00:09:16.900 Massive.
00:09:17.380 The 43 ports.
00:09:18.420 Very important.
00:09:19.120 You have to allow me to send 600,000 students to be able to get educated in your country.
00:09:23.700 Go to the school.
00:09:24.940 Which of those two is more important to you?
00:09:27.340 The Hutchinson thing.
00:09:28.240 So that means if the only thing to get that done was the 600, you'd have to do it on a
00:09:33.940 business standpoint.
00:09:34.460 But do you know why, though?
00:09:35.380 Do you know why, though?
00:09:36.680 So do you remember when all of a sudden, like, you couldn't get chips for cars?
00:09:39.900 You'd go to a Rolex store.
00:09:41.060 They don't have any watches.
00:09:42.100 You'd go to stores.
00:09:43.140 There was nothing.
00:09:44.180 Used cars were selling more than brand new cars because you just couldn't find anything,
00:09:48.160 right?
00:09:49.360 That's because there was no access to supply.
00:09:52.080 What if all of a sudden China's like, oh, really?
00:09:54.340 No problem.
00:09:55.280 Close the canal.
00:09:57.020 Now what?
00:09:58.780 Slow things down 30 days.
00:10:01.540 Give a headache to U.S.
00:10:02.900 Now what do you do?
00:10:04.100 Now you have to go 14,000 miles instead of 9,000 miles.
00:10:07.500 Now you have to go all the way down and come up versus boom and boom, come up, right?
00:10:11.440 I think what we don't know that's being negotiated behind closed doors, we don't know what are
00:10:18.380 the 20 things that are on the table.
00:10:19.660 We don't know.
00:10:22.200 And you have to decide for yourself, negotiating on behalf of America is there's no way I'm
00:10:27.600 giving up these five things.
00:10:29.100 These five things, I can't have them believe we'll give them up.
00:10:32.320 But we'll say, we'll think about it.
00:10:33.740 But already in your mind, you're like, what?
00:10:35.380 We'll give them up.
00:10:35.900 No problem.
00:10:36.460 Of course.
00:10:36.780 But these five things we have to get.
00:10:38.560 What are these five things?
00:10:39.520 These five things are da-da-da-da-da.
00:10:41.000 I think that's kind of where they're at.
00:10:42.800 And I don't like the 600,000.
00:10:44.560 Makes me extremely uncomfortable.
00:10:46.800 But if we're giving that up to get three things that are going to protect us more long-term
00:10:50.740 for another black swan event to happen by China, I'm more interested in that.
00:10:55.020 Adam, thoughts?
00:10:55.840 So I just have a question for you and then I'll make my point.
00:10:58.920 You know how we do the STAR system, which stands for what?
00:11:02.160 Systems, Tech, Action, or Relationships?
00:11:06.140 Is that the four?
00:11:06.620 So people who are structured, like Tom, overly organized.
00:11:09.940 People who are technical, like Tom.
00:11:12.440 People who are action-oriented, competitive, psycho-competitors.
00:11:16.240 And in R, relationship people.
00:11:18.500 Biz Dev people.
00:11:19.360 You're in R.
00:11:19.860 You're a relationship guy.
00:11:20.900 Yeah, I'm also somewhat of an S guy.
00:11:22.400 What do you think Trump is?
00:11:24.180 A.
00:11:24.660 All the way.
00:11:25.600 A is Trump is A first.
00:11:27.520 Yes.
00:11:28.560 I would probably put his...
00:11:31.220 R second.
00:11:32.160 I would put A first.
00:11:33.120 I would put probably S and R second, T last.
00:11:39.540 I agree.
00:11:40.140 You know why S?
00:11:41.020 Look at the way he dresses.
00:11:42.720 Look at the way he likes glasses to be set when he's doing a video.
00:11:45.680 Sure.
00:11:45.960 He is so organized and that needs things to be done in a certain way.
00:11:49.720 He's a maniacal S, but his A is an aggressive A.
00:11:54.440 Yeah.
00:11:54.740 I actually agree with you.
00:11:55.540 The reason I ask that is because he's go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go.
00:11:58.700 You know, they were playing a video the other day of him falling asleep when he got to, I think, Saudi.
00:12:03.100 It's like, all right, after traveling for 15 hours, the guy does sleep.
00:12:05.780 But I think we can all appreciate how hard this guy works.
00:12:09.320 I also agree with you that he's got a system and a structure, but I would say that Trump is a big relationship guy.
00:12:15.480 And if you're nice to him, he'll be nice to you.
00:12:17.860 If you're mean to him, he'll be mean to you.
00:12:19.540 That's pretty basic with Trump.
00:12:20.940 He said nice things about me, Kim Jong-un, so now we're best friends.
00:12:24.220 We understand that right there.
00:12:25.620 So with this relationship with China, who was that, some higher up person in the Communist Party that came here?
00:12:32.500 It wasn't she, obviously, right, that he was meeting with.
00:12:34.800 Trump will say the exact opposite things about you in the same sentence.
00:12:40.300 I love this guy.
00:12:41.360 I'll kill him in a second if I have to, but I don't want to have to do that.
00:12:44.680 I wouldn't do that.
00:12:45.600 Love you, but I hate you.
00:12:46.760 It doesn't matter.
00:12:47.800 He could be your best friend or he can be your worst enemy.
00:12:49.740 He's a dealmaker and he's transactional.
00:12:51.940 So Shane Gillis did a great impression of Trump when he was on SNL.
00:12:57.520 And it was like Trump doing the dating game.
00:12:59.300 He's like, I think you're hot.
00:13:00.480 I think you're great.
00:13:01.820 And she goes, no, I'm not interested.
00:13:03.240 You're ugly.
00:13:03.860 You're disgusting.
00:13:05.400 Why would I ever?
00:13:06.960 He'll turn on you real quick.
00:13:08.660 So if you want to play Trump, like if you actually want to do a deal with Trump, you kind of have to kiss his butt.
00:13:15.800 This is why we see these world leaders, like when he goes to Saudi, they put up a portable McDonald's, right?
00:13:21.060 Okay, obviously pandering to Trump.
00:13:22.920 Qatar gave the guy a plane, right?
00:13:26.460 The UK, when Keir Starmer came over here, he's like, I mean, this is very special.
00:13:33.280 We're giving you a free night's day at Buckingham Palace.
00:13:35.900 Like nobody gets this.
00:13:37.020 He's like, well, thank you.
00:13:38.040 The guy from South Africa, he came over and he's like, we gave you a book about golf.
00:13:45.080 You could see it in Trump's face.
00:13:46.220 He's kind of just like, I'd be happy with a golf course, not a book.
00:13:50.060 But Trump is very transactional and he's relationship driven.
00:13:53.500 Totally get it.
00:13:54.040 But I mean, look, the reality of it is we don't have a clue what's going on behind closed doors and what's being negotiated.
00:13:59.460 Once a year we get together.
00:14:00.820 I can't wait to see everybody this year.
00:14:03.180 This is going to be the biggest one by a mile.
00:14:05.520 Record-breaking attendance coming to this event here from all over the world.
00:14:08.840 Three and a half day strategy session, business, all the stuff that we'll be doing.
00:14:12.780 It's just, it's a very unique experience if you haven't been to it.

00:14:57.480 I'm going to whisper you for the last time.
00:14:59.420 If you're around the Florida area, you want to come to the networking event tonight on the campus.
00:15:03.940 Do you know we're going to have Ferrari SP3s here?
00:15:07.180 I don't know if you know what an SP3 is.
00:15:08.680 Rob, can you pull up what an SP3 is, Ferrari SP3?
00:15:11.460 You're talking about Ferrari SP3.
00:15:13.760 It's a modern homage to a classic shape.
00:15:17.100 Finding this car, Vinny.
00:15:18.620 Holy moly.
00:15:19.240 It's a $5 million car.
00:15:21.120 It'll be on the lot.
00:15:21.880 It's just pulling up.
00:15:22.540 We will have a LaFerradi on the lot.
00:15:25.160 We will have multiple $5 million cars on the lot for you to come by and see.
00:15:30.060 You'll have Senna's 1989 McLaren car.
00:15:33.240 You'll have jets to get on and see.
00:15:34.820 For some of you guys that have CEOs and founder tickets, you will see the hangar opened up.
00:15:39.500 Bunch of new things that nobody's seen before.
00:15:41.520 Anybody that's a platinum and an executive, you'll get a tour.
00:15:46.000 Founders and CEOs, you'll get a tour from me.
00:15:47.760 And then right afterwards, anybody that's platinum and executive up, you will be able to go to the cigar lounge to hang out with each other, have drinks, have conversations at the boardroom, obviously on the other side.
00:15:59.100 And then platinum will be on the back.
00:16:01.100 The members, boardroom members.
00:16:02.760 But you'll get a chance to actually see the cigar lounge.
00:16:04.860 This is the manual, by the way.
00:16:05.900 Rob, if you want to play this clip, this year's Vol Conference.
00:16:08.700 Gang, for those of you guys that are going to the Vol Conference, manual is here.
