00:00:00.220 Trump, EU's von der Leyen, great name, strike trade deal for 15% tariffs.
00:00:08.680 By the way, this is, Vinny found the clip of everybody being forced,
00:00:14.220 I think one of the clips you find is CNN, being forced to say,
00:00:17.340 how do you argue against this? This is a great victory.
00:00:20.040 Rob, can you first play that clip on the agreement that they made with the other folks?
00:00:23.600 Yes.
00:00:24.420 With Trump and her? Yeah, go for it.
00:00:26.380 The European Union is going to agree to purchase from the United States
00:00:35.520 $750 billion worth of energy.
00:00:40.260 Wow.
00:00:41.360 $750 billion worth of energy.
00:00:44.640 They are going to agree to invest into the United States
00:00:51.820 $600 billion more than they're investing already.
00:00:57.460 So they're investing a large amount of money.
00:01:01.820 You know what that amount of money is.
00:01:03.800 It's very substantial.
00:01:04.880 But they're going to invest an additional $600 billion.
00:01:09.180 They're agreeing to open up their countries to trade at zero tariff.
00:01:18.320 So that's a very big factor, opening up their countries.
00:01:22.480 All of the countries will be opened up to trade with the United States at zero tariff.
00:01:26.980 And they're agreeing to purchase a vast amount of military equipment.
00:01:33.280 We don't know what that number is, but it's...
00:01:35.540 The good news is we make the best military equipment in the world.
00:01:39.040 So sort of you have to do that, I mean.
00:01:40.940 Until somebody taps us, which is what it is.
00:01:43.360 We make bombs, baby.
00:01:44.080 You can pause it right there.
00:01:45.120 And it continues, right?
00:01:46.700 The best part of it is when this reporter...
00:01:49.120 Rob, I just sent you the clip if you can go to it.
00:01:51.200 Reporter asks, are you open to doing better than 15%?
00:01:55.720 This is the best answer.
00:01:57.880 Go ahead, Rob.
00:01:59.060 Can you do better than a 15% tariff rate for the EU?
00:02:04.040 Better meaning lower?
00:02:05.280 Yeah.
00:02:05.640 No.
00:02:06.600 Mr. President...
00:02:07.660 That's good parenting.
00:02:09.220 The power of no.
00:02:09.920 That's good parenting.
00:02:11.080 This is the greatest parenting lesson you can get.
00:02:14.800 Can you give me the ice cream?
00:02:15.900 No.
00:02:17.080 I cannot.
00:02:17.660 Great parenting advice.
00:02:19.100 I'm just telling you.
00:02:19.760 That's the way you do it.
00:02:20.500 And Rob, this is CNN.
00:02:23.400 Okay, go for it.
00:02:24.180 Go ahead.
00:02:24.460 Your views are in on the new trade deal announced with the European Union.
00:02:27.960 The Financial Times says the deal marks a victory for Trump.
00:02:31.440 Is this a fantastic deal then struck by Donald Trump?
00:02:35.000 Absolutely a victory on behalf of the Trump administration.
00:02:37.740 Well, the bottom line is this is the biggest trade deal in President Trump's effort to
00:02:42.820 effectively reshape the global trading order.
00:02:46.000 On this deal, the European Union, this is a big win for the U.S.
00:02:49.220 The bigger picture is that Trump is still very much pursuing his longer-term goal of achieving
00:02:54.980 what he perceives to be fairness for America.
00:02:56.860 It is a triumph of a lot of things.
00:02:58.520 Certainly, the president ought to take a victory lap.
00:03:01.160 I think it ends up being good for the European Union.
00:03:04.620 It's a blow against the conventional wisdom.
00:03:06.500 It's $600 billion.
00:03:08.480 This is so great.
00:03:09.800 And it's so awesome that even Bill Maher, Bill Maher is starting to become more and more
00:03:16.980 reasonable.
00:03:18.360 And this is what Bill Maher had to say about tariffs.
00:03:21.360 You mean RNC spokesman Bill Maher?
00:03:22.980 Pretty much.
00:03:23.780 At this point, the two biggest MAGA guys I know is Adam and Bill Maher.
00:03:26.680 Go ahead and play this.
00:03:27.600 Go ahead.
00:03:27.780 I remember I, along with probably most people, were saying at the beginning, oh, you know,
00:03:33.700 by the 4th of July, somebody had to think how the country was, the economy was going
00:03:39.200 to be tanked by then.
00:03:40.520 And I was kind of like, well, that seems right to me.
00:03:44.100 But that didn't happen.
00:03:47.100 Now, it could happen tomorrow.
00:03:48.980 I'm just saying that's reality.
00:03:51.780 So let's work first from the reality of that, not from I just hate Donald Trump.
00:03:56.720 Because that's boring and doesn't get us anywhere and leads you to dishonesty.
00:04:01.580 Because the truth is, I don't know what his strategy is.
00:04:04.940 But look, the stock market is at record highs.
00:04:08.380 I know not everybody lives by the stock market.
00:04:10.560 But I also drive around.
00:04:12.080 I don't see a country in a depression at all.
00:04:15.400 I see people out there just living their lives.
00:04:17.900 And I would have thought, and I got to own it, that these tariffs were going to fucking
00:04:26.140 sink this economy by this time.
00:04:28.800 And they didn't.
00:04:30.480 You can pause it right there.
00:04:31.400 Tom, what do we know about what happened yesterday?
00:04:33.500 Why is this such a big deal?
00:04:34.680 Well, it's a big deal because Trump said, I'm not America only, but I'm going to be America
00:04:40.240 first.
00:04:40.840 And I'm going to use tariffs.
00:04:42.860 It's a wonderful word.
00:04:43.960 Beautiful word.
00:04:44.640 Remember, he went through all that.
00:04:45.520 And then he rumbled, and there were parts of it that were a little weird, like when
00:04:49.940 the calculation of the tariffs came out and said, wait, are you talking trade deficit or
00:04:54.000 tariff deficit?
00:04:55.580 And there were some moments that the administration had on that, trying to explain how the calculations
00:05:02.300 work.
00:05:02.680 But what he wasn't wrong about was, excuse me, what he did not mislead us about is, I'm
00:05:08.020 going door to door, and I may not be America only, but I'm going to be America first, and
00:05:14.880 I'm going to get deals for us, and I'm going to get things done.
00:05:17.460 And guess what?
00:05:18.380 Now he's got the EU deal done.
00:05:20.560 And there's other deals that he's still talking about that are getting done.
00:05:24.800 And we've had all these other deals get done.
00:05:27.140 So guess what?
00:05:28.140 Bill Maher summed it up correctly.
00:05:30.660 It's not that we thought.
00:05:32.600 We hoped.
00:05:33.360 That's the only word that I would change in Bill Maher.
00:05:35.760 They all hoped.
00:05:36.940 They were betting against America, rooting against America, as we talked about an hour ago
00:05:40.340 on this podcast, and they were hoping bad things would happen.
00:05:42.960 But he takes W after W after W on these things.
00:05:46.980 That's what happened.
00:05:48.100 And guess what?
00:05:49.000 Now it's a more level playing field.
00:05:51.360 And they're $600 billion going to be bought from the U.S., additional $600 billion with
00:05:58.540 the stuff.
00:05:59.140 Now that may be two bombers and a battleship, and it kind of uses up the budget.
00:06:02.600 But, I mean, they're buying more things from the U.S.
00:06:06.080 And guess what?
00:06:07.280 That woman there, she is the head of the EU Economic Commission. 0.56
00:06:14.480 And so she was their spokesperson all spring.
00:06:17.480 We're very concerned about this.
00:06:19.020 This is his ham-handed effect.
00:06:21.500 Remember all that?
00:06:23.200 Guess what?
00:06:24.100 Now she's sitting next very politely.
00:06:25.980 Yeah, hello.
00:06:26.600 Very nice.
00:06:27.260 Yep.
00:06:27.500 We have a deal.
00:06:28.660 Sakai, what do you think about this?
00:06:29.780 Well, all April, I sat through panel after panel after panel being assured that the
00:06:35.160 market was going to collapse.
00:06:36.580 We were going to have a recession that, you know, just like Bill said, the economy was
00:06:40.840 going to be in free fall.
00:06:42.840 You know, we did constant coverage, frankly, the stock market every day.
00:06:46.680 You know, it had a dip.
00:06:48.300 And there's little coverage now of the record highs in the stock.
00:06:52.020 You know, it went down.
00:06:53.140 Now it's at record highs.
00:06:54.100 The market has actually responded to it.
00:06:55.780 But the narrative was tariffs must be bad, and we will tell you how it's going to be
00:07:01.800 bad.
00:07:02.200 They didn't bank on Trump being right about leverage and the fact that every other country
00:07:06.980 in the world wants access to the American market.
00:07:09.120 He had leverage.
00:07:09.960 And these trade relationships needed to be rebalanced.
00:07:13.840 They needed to be rebalanced.
00:07:15.080 The energy sales in this are huge.
00:07:16.800 $750 billion in energy.
00:07:18.640 They're buying it from us.
00:07:19.580 Guess who they're not getting it from?
00:07:20.540 Russia.
00:07:21.360 Perfect.
00:07:22.120 That's a good thing.
00:07:23.220 The military.
00:07:23.800 Airplanes got blown up.
00:07:24.780 The military equipment.
00:07:26.940 Europe has underinvested in its military for decades.
00:07:30.580 That's a good thing.
00:07:32.260 Agriculture and automotive.
00:07:33.360 Those are the two commodities that the president, industries that the president thought would
00:07:36.600 benefit the most from this.
00:07:37.660 So, you know, you couldn't get American cars in Europe.
00:07:39.860 Now, we're going to have a 0% tariff on American cars going that direction.
00:07:44.100 That's a good thing for people who make cars in the United States.
00:07:46.720 He knew he had leverage.
00:07:48.440 And there was a quote in the Financial Times.
00:07:49.940 One of the ambassadors said, he figured out exactly what our pain threshold was.
00:07:56.020 That's their quote.
00:07:57.260 That is their quote in the Financial Times.
00:07:59.600 And in fact, he figured out what our pain threshold was.
00:08:03.920 That is a good negotiator.
00:08:05.800 How much pain can I inflict and still get the deal I want?
00:08:09.400 Maximize my leverage?
00:08:10.460 That's what he did.
00:08:11.800 Even the people who hate Trump are admitting it.
00:08:14.140 Great deal for America. 0.68
00:08:15.200 I love it.
00:08:15.560 Scott, what do you think is going to happen August 1st?
00:08:18.280 Because that was sort of the tariff deadline.
00:08:21.100 You know, they just struck this deal with the EU.
00:08:22.840 They cut a deal with Japan.
00:08:24.040 There's other things in the works.
00:08:25.800 We're three days out.
00:08:26.840 Yeah.
00:08:27.260 What are your expectations?
00:08:28.300 So, Besson is meeting with his Chinese counterparts in Sweden this week.
00:08:31.880 So, obviously, you're looking for news on that.
00:08:33.600 That's a big one.
00:08:34.880 Look, there's about 17 to 20 countries that make up the bulk of our trade.
00:08:38.740 Everything else is very small.
00:08:39.920 And so, you know, my anticipation is there'll be more announcements.
00:08:44.260 And, you know, maybe if you're close on somebody and you don't get it done by August 1st, maybe you give them a week reprieve or whatever.
00:08:49.740 But I think for the 17 to 20 countries that matter the most, he's looking to get it right.
00:08:55.040 And for the rest of the world, they'll want to come to the table.
00:08:57.840 Fine.
00:08:58.120 If you don't, fine.
00:08:58.940 You're going to have to face the consequences.
00:09:00.520 We have all the leverage.
00:09:02.200 You know who looks stupid in all this is Canada.
00:09:04.660 Canada looks stupid in this.
00:09:06.420 All these other countries are cutting deals.
00:09:07.920 We're cutting deals.
00:09:09.220 We're doing deals.
00:09:10.480 We're doing things all over the world at this point.
00:09:13.020 And Canada feels left out to me right now.
00:09:15.580 They need to reevaluate their position.
00:09:17.900 We mean more to them than they mean to us.
00:09:20.360 Oh, yeah.
00:09:20.620 And I think when they see things like the EU deal and maybe we finish up a negotiation with China, maybe they're going to rethink their position.
00:09:26.800 I think they're acting out of emotion and not out of the realization that we mean more to them than they mean to us.
00:09:32.100 Scott, what grade would you give Trump at this point?
00:09:34.140 Because when it was the 100-day mark a couple months ago, three months ago, we all gave our grades.
00:09:39.980 Right now, we're approaching, I think, almost 200 days.
00:09:42.700 That's going to be next week.
00:09:44.440 This was in the thick of the trade stuff.
00:09:46.720 The economy wasn't doing as good.
00:09:48.700 We were kind of collectively in the C range, give or take.
00:09:52.100 I was at an A.
00:09:52.260 But now, I think universally, we're – you're right, Vinny.
00:09:56.760 I did.
00:09:57.140 We're closer to an A.
00:09:58.680 Yeah.
00:09:59.040 Where were you at the 100-day mark?
00:10:00.440 Where were you at the 200-day mark?
00:10:01.720 At the 100-day mark, I was at an I, which was incomplete for the reason that you mentioned.
00:10:06.100 The results of things hadn't yet occurred.
00:10:07.980 Now, I was at an A-plus on immigration because at that point, we already knew the border was effectively closed, and we knew that was working.
00:10:14.620 I was also at an A on his engagement in foreign affairs.
00:10:17.560 I could see where he was headed in trying to settle these issues.
00:10:20.040 But on the economic stuff, it had just happened.
00:10:22.820 It had just happened.
00:10:23.500 They had not passed the big, beautiful bill, but it was a negotiation.
00:10:26.400 The tariffs had just been announced.
00:10:27.580 Now, look where we are.
00:10:28.680 The tax cuts are permanent.
00:10:30.320 We have generational welfare reform.
00:10:32.360 We have deals being cut.
00:10:33.640 The market has responded.
00:10:35.000 Countries are investing in the United States.
00:10:37.340 In my home state of Kentucky, GE announced they're bringing 800 jobs back to Kentucky.
00:10:40.920 Why?
00:10:41.280 Because the CEO said, well, the current tariff environment makes it so we can reshore 800 jobs back to our plan in Kentucky.
00:10:47.520 So it's clearly working.
00:10:48.660 I voted for all this.
00:10:50.480 This is what I voted for.
00:10:52.120 This is what I voted for.
00:10:53.020 The only thing that I wish they had done better in the first six months is a better PR effort on the Doge situation.
00:10:59.960 I like what they're doing, which is going around and finding objectively stupid things and cutting it, and the rescissions package that they passed was a good thing.
00:11:05.940 They need more.
00:11:07.220 I wish there had been better PR around that, but the principles and impulses are correct.
00:11:11.160 So I'm in an A, A-plus.
00:11:13.520 This is what I voted for.
00:11:14.940 I voted for this.
00:11:15.820 I wanted this.
00:11:17.260 I wanted this.
00:11:18.300 Most Republicans, his numbers among Republicans are over 90%.
00:11:21.460 Nobody that voted for this as a Republican is unhappy with it.
00:11:25.440 Respect.
00:11:25.760 PBD, where are you at these days?
00:11:27.000 Because you weren't in the A-plus range three months ago.
00:11:30.160 I'm at B-plus is where I'm at, and it's because, to me, the top five most important things to me, Panama Canal, China, those two haven't been done yet.
00:11:39.340 It's very simple.
00:11:40.140 To me, I am a long-term thinker, a couple decades.
00:11:44.300 China is not going to be a two-year issue.
00:11:46.660 It's going to be a 40-year issue, and we have to trust those guys.
00:11:49.380 And we need leverage.
00:11:50.260 We don't have Panama Canal.
00:11:51.360 That is how they can make America's life hell. 0.87
00:11:53.820 You think COVID was nasty?
00:11:55.900 You know what happens if those guys try to mess with the Panama Canal and create conflicts for themselves that we feel the pain?
00:12:01.320 Well, food's not going to arrive for this much.
00:12:02.700 Well, this is not going to arrive for this much.
00:12:04.420 You think you'd go to a Rolex store.
00:12:06.500 There was no watches.
00:12:07.220 You'd go to dealerships.
00:12:08.800 Used cars were being sold more from brand-new cars at the time because of what they did.
00:12:13.260 I'm not comfortable with the amount of control China has with Panama Canal and the tariffs that are not being done near the trade deal.
00:12:20.600 Those two things get done, I'm going to be a little bit more comfortable there.
00:12:24.600 Once a year, we host a conference called the Vol Conference.
00:12:28.440 We're expecting nearly 12,000 people here at the event.
00:12:32.960 Rob, you can play the clip and just turn off the audio while I'm going through it.
00:12:36.240 And we have special guest speakers that will be there this year.
00:12:38.760 You already know Tony Robbins.
00:12:40.220 If you've never seen Tony Robbins live, you've got to do whatever you can to come to this event.
00:12:44.500 He's going to be speaking for a couple hours and doing a Q&A.
00:12:47.180 And then we have Martha Stewart. 0.57
00:12:48.180 We were able to get Martha Stewart to agree to come out, the first original influencer that became a billionaire in 99. 1.00
00:12:54.380 She's going to share her tips on what she did.
