Trump's Bold Moves in Tariff Negotiations plus Judge Rules Against Pro-Hamas Activist · The Ben Ferguson Podcast

0:01
Speaker 1: I want to give you a very important update on
0:03
Speaker 1: what's going on with tariff negotiations. This is a story
0:08
Speaker 1: that the media is not going to want to tell
0:10
Speaker 1: you about because of the number that I'm about to
0:13
Speaker 1: disclose to you. You may remember the other day there
0:17
Speaker 1: was reports out that there were fifty countries that had
0:21
Speaker 1: lined up to negotiate their tariffs to the Trump administration.
0:25
Speaker 1: Then that number went to seventy, and that is when
0:28
Speaker 1: the media started getting quiet on the story. We now
0:31
Speaker 1: have a new number, and the Trump administration has told
0:35
Speaker 1: us that they are now negotiating with one hundred and
0:39
Speaker 1: thirty countries on tariffs. Now, I want you to hear
0:43
Speaker 1: this back and forth with liberal Jake Tapper over at
0:46
Speaker 1: seeing and on say the Union talking with the n
0:49
Speaker 1: Aasroeconomic Council Director Kevin Hassett. And here is what Jake
0:53
Speaker 1: Tapper tried to say when he was dating him into
0:56
Speaker 1: a false narrative. Take a listen.
1:00
Speaker 2: Can you say to small business owners or even big
1:02
Speaker 2: business owners who say they're having difficulty making long term
1:05
Speaker 2: business decisions because the country seems right now to be
1:08
Speaker 2: run by capricious whim Oh.
1:10
Speaker 3: I'd think at all it's run by Capriciu's whim. The
1:13
Speaker 3: way that I would think about it is that in
1:15
Speaker 3: the previous administration, you can sort of say, if you're
1:18
Speaker 3: thinking about it into football analogy is that they were
1:20
Speaker 3: running out the clock, and what's going on now and
1:23
Speaker 3: the Trump administration is across a wide array of policy areas.
1:27
Speaker 3: We're in a two minute offense, and the two minute
1:29
Speaker 3: offense is pushing, as you've seen, the reconciliation build through,
1:33
Speaker 3: so that we get tax relief for America people, deregulation,
1:36
Speaker 3: and of course trade policy. Now in the trade policy,
1:40
Speaker 3: the whole point of the trade policy is to address
1:43
Speaker 3: the national emergency that we're too dependent on foreign products
1:47
Speaker 3: in the US, especially if we were at a time
1:50
Speaker 3: of conflict, and we're doing something about that. And the
1:52
Speaker 3: Reciprocal Act was basically, guys, if you come to the
1:55
Speaker 3: table and negotiate us with us and treat us the
1:58
Speaker 3: same way we treat you, then we'll get your rate
2:02
Speaker 3: really low. And so right now one hundred thirty countries,
2:04
Speaker 3: one hundred thirty countries have responded and we're negotiating with them,
2:08
Speaker 3: and they've got their rate down to ten percent. And
2:11
Speaker 3: so really it's kind of almost a two world system.
2:14
Speaker 3: There's a process about China, and that's very very nascent,
2:18
Speaker 3: if at all, and then the process for everybody else.
2:21
Speaker 3: So the process for everybody else is orderly. It's clear
2:24
Speaker 3: people are coming to town with great, great offers. We've
2:28
Speaker 3: got Japan, Korea, India. I was just talking to the
2:32
Speaker 3: Foreign Minister of India and everything is moving forward very quickly,
2:36
Speaker 3: and so I guess the bottom line is that the
2:39
Speaker 3: small business owner has experienced over the last few weeks
2:43
Speaker 3: the start of a process that's settling down really quite quickly.
2:46
Speaker 3: Gave them a hundred thirty countries are at ten percent now.
2:49
Speaker 1: So if you want to know if the administration is
2:51
Speaker 1: working hard to get these deals done, the answer is yes.
2:54
Speaker 1: And are there people that are coming to the table.
2:56
Speaker 1: The answer is yes. And are there a few? No?
2:59
Speaker 1: Are there some? Noh? Are there a lot? Man? Maybe
3:01
Speaker 1: you could go even beyond that, as I quote the administration.
3:06
Speaker 1: So right now there are one hundred and thirty countries.
3:09
Speaker 1: One hundred and thirty countries have responded and we're negotiating
3:12
Speaker 1: with them, and they've got their rate down to ten percent.
3:16
Speaker 1: So really it's almost a two world system. There's a
3:21
Speaker 1: process that they said about countries that are not willing
3:23
Speaker 1: to come to the table, places like China, and those
3:27
Speaker 1: are going to be tough, But everyone else, they seem
3:30
Speaker 1: to be wanting the best deal they can get with
3:32
Speaker 1: the American government, and that means it's an amazing deal
3:35
Speaker 1: for the American people. So don't buy into the fear mongering.
3:40
Speaker 1: Look at the actual results, and it's clear that there's
3:44
Speaker 1: one hundred and thirty countries that are dying to get
3:46
Speaker 1: a deal done with a Trump administration who is putting
3:50
Speaker 1: American workers and businesses first instead of last. Now that's
3:55
Speaker 1: not the only piece of good news. The President is
3:57
Speaker 1: also listening to his advisors and now know that there
4:00
Speaker 1: is going to be some exemptions on some important products
4:04
Speaker 1: that do affect Americans. Right now, smartphones, computers, and electronic
4:09
Speaker 1: devices are being exempt from the Trump administration's tariffs on China.
4:15
Speaker 1: The administration announcing that various electronic devices such as smartphones
4:19
Speaker 1: and computers will have the exemption from the tariffs that
4:23
Speaker 1: have been imposed on China. In a bulletin that was
4:26
Speaker 1: posted late Friday night by the US Customs and Border
4:29
Speaker 1: Protection Agency, it was revealed that certain products quote would
4:33
Speaker 1: be exempted from the tariffs. The tariff exemptions on certain
4:37
Speaker 1: products apply retroactively to April to fifth. According to Axios,
4:43
Speaker 1: the products would be exempt from recent applied tariffs, while
4:46
Speaker 1: other pre April second tariffs would still apply. The White
4:51
Speaker 1: House Press Secretary Caroline Levin explained in a statement, the
4:54
Speaker 1: President Donald Trump has made it clear that the United
4:57
Speaker 1: States cannot rely on China to you manufacture critical technologies semiconductors, chips, smartphones,
5:06
Speaker 1: and laptops, saying President Trump has made it clear America
5:10
Speaker 1: cannot rely on China to manufacture critical technologies such as
5:15
Speaker 1: those semiconductors, chips, smartphones, and laptops, and that's why the
5:20
Speaker 1: President has secured trillions of dollars in US investments from
5:24
Speaker 1: the largest tech companies in the world, including Apple, TSMC,
5:29
Speaker 1: and NA Video. CNBC also reported that the guidance for
5:34
Speaker 1: the USCBP includes exclusions for other electronic devices and components,
5:40
Speaker 1: including semiconductors, solar cells, flat panel TV display, flash drives,
5:46
Speaker 1: and memory cards. The White House Deputy Press Secretary explained
5:50
Speaker 1: that quote companies are hustling to onshore their manufacturing the
5:55
Speaker 1: United States as soon as possible. The outlet explained that
5:58
Speaker 1: the top twenty product categories listed in the CBP guidelines
6:03
Speaker 1: are apparently exempt from the one hundred and twenty five
6:06
Speaker 1: percent tariffs that Trump is imposed on Chinese imports. The
6:11
Speaker 1: twenty product categories listed in the CBP guidelines are apparently
6:15
Speaker 1: exempt from the one to twenty five tariffs and the
6:18
Speaker 1: ten percent baseline tariff on imports from other countries. A
6:22
Speaker 1: twenty percent tariff on all Chinese goods remains in effect
6:26
Speaker 1: quote unquote and a presidential memorandum. Trump explained in the
6:30
Speaker 1: Executive Order fourteen two fifty seven that regulations imports with
6:35
Speaker 1: a reciprocal tariff to rectified trade practices that contribute to
6:40
Speaker 1: large and persistent annual United States good trade deficits. I
6:45
Speaker 1: declare national emergency arising from conditions reflected in large and
6:49
Speaker 1: persistent annual US goods trade deficits, and imposed additional ad
6:56
Speaker 1: belorum duties as I deem necessary and appropriate to deal
7:01
Speaker 1: with the unusual and extraordinary threat which has its source
7:05
Speaker 1: and hohold our substantial part outside of the US. The
7:09
Speaker 1: national security and economic of the United States of America.
7:13
Speaker 1: Is what is stated in this Executive Order. Now here's
7:17
Speaker 1: what we know. The present's being clear that he's not
7:20
Speaker 1: going to allow China to get away with much of
7:22
Speaker 1: what they've been doing, but there are certain things that
7:25
Speaker 1: America does need in the near term as we start
7:29
Speaker 1: manufacturing in this country. This is also another example of
7:33
Speaker 1: the President listening to those around him and listening to
7:36
Speaker 1: the American people and industry that are saying, we love
7:40
Speaker 1: that you're fighting for us, but there may be some
7:42
Speaker 1: certain things will need some help on in the short term.
7:45
Speaker 1: And this is proof that the President is obviously putting
7:48
Speaker 1: Americans first yet again. A major victory this week for
7:54
Speaker 1: the Trump administration who said they were going to hold
7:58
Speaker 1: student protesters accountable if they were standing up for terrorists,
8:01
Speaker 1: especially if they are here from another country. Now, you
8:05
Speaker 1: may remember that the Senate Democrats came out and said
8:08
Speaker 1: we stand with the pro terrorists pro Hamas Columbia graduate,
8:12
Speaker 1: a guy by the name of Mahmud Khalil. Why did
8:16
Speaker 1: they do it, because, well, the Democratic Party has no
8:18
Speaker 1: problem standing with people that are advocating and supporting for
8:21
Speaker 1: the destruction of Israel and those that advocate for actual
8:25
Speaker 1: terrorist organizations. This is not all. We also found out
8:29
Speaker 1: that the Senate Judiciary Democrats went all in in supporting
8:33
Speaker 1: him as a political decision. This is the latest of
8:37
Speaker 1: six separate posts that they put out on social media
8:41
Speaker 1: promoting his cause, declaring free Muhammad Khalil well he was arrested.
8:47
Speaker 1: He was a leader of last spring's pro Hamas protests,
8:51
Speaker 1: and just last week he participated in the Barnard protests
8:55
Speaker 1: in which activists were handing out Hamas propaganda booklets justifying
9:01
Speaker 1: the October seventh attacks. This again was during the week
9:05
Speaker 1: when Democrats supported him. Now, it's fair to debate where
9:09
Speaker 1: the line is between free speech and due process, and
9:12
Speaker 1: there's no doubt that that is an important conversation half
9:16
Speaker 1: But let's be clear, Democrats have no problem looking the
9:19
Speaker 1: other way when it comes to immigration laws, and they
9:22
Speaker 1: look the other way when it comes to protecting Jewish
9:25
Speaker 1: students on campus as well, which brings us to the
9:29
Speaker 1: victory that all of us should be excited about. An
9:32
Speaker 1: immigration judge has now ruled that Mike Mood Khliel can
9:38
Speaker 1: be deported from the US due to his involvement in
9:41
Speaker 1: leading last year's pro Palestinian protests at Columbia University. The
9:47
Speaker 1: judge coming out and this news breaking on Fox where
9:51
Speaker 1: Democrats lost their minds yet again.
9:55
Speaker 4: So the thingson that we have been waiting for. A
9:57
Speaker 4: judge has just ruled that the Trump administration's effort to
10:02
Speaker 4: deport Mahmoud Khalil can move forward. Correspondent Brook Taylor live
10:08
Speaker 4: right near that courthouse, and Jeana Louisiana tell us what
10:11
Speaker 4: the judge is saying in there.
10:12
Speaker 5: Brook, Hi, Martha, Yeah, this has been long anticipated and
10:16
Speaker 5: some major news. Just to first give you some perspective,
10:18
Speaker 5: we're down the street from the Ice Attention Center. The
10:21
Speaker 5: courtroom is inside of there. They didn't allow any phones
10:24
Speaker 5: or cameras, so we're finding out this information from our
10:27
Speaker 5: reporter who's over there down the street. She tells us,
10:30
Speaker 5: as you just mentioned, the immigration judge has found Mahmoud
10:34
Speaker 5: Khalil removable. Khalil's attorneys have until April twenty third to
10:39
Speaker 5: file relief applications. I asked that reporter what the immigration
10:44
Speaker 5: judge was able to say. She cited those d Jess
10:47
Speaker 5: papers and said that the Secretary of State Marco Rubio
10:51
Speaker 5: was able to meet that burden, and again they have
10:54
Speaker 5: decided that Mahmoud Khalil is removable. The next question, Martha,
10:59
Speaker 5: of course, is attorney are going to fight this, but
11:01
Speaker 5: how long that process is going to take right now
11:03
Speaker 5: for him to be deported.
11:05
Speaker 4: We'll send it back to you, right breaking news book.
11:07
Speaker 4: Thank you you hear that report.
11:10
Speaker 1: Democrats are angry because they wanted to make sure that
11:13
Speaker 1: they could have as many of these activists that have
11:16
Speaker 1: come into the United States of America stand up for
11:18
Speaker 1: terrorists and advocate for death and destruction of the Jews
11:22
Speaker 1: all over the world. This judge ruling on Friday that
11:26
Speaker 1: this thirty year old again can be deported, saying the
11:29
Speaker 1: US government med its burden of proof to remove him. Quote.
11:33
Speaker 1: I would like to quote what you said last time,
11:36
Speaker 1: that there's nothing that's more important to this court than
11:39
Speaker 1: do process rights and fundamental fairness. That is what mcmood
11:44
Speaker 1: told the court, saying, quote clearly what we witnessed today,
11:48
Speaker 1: neither of these principles were presented today or in the
11:52
Speaker 1: whole process. Quote. This is exactly why the Trump administration
11:56
Speaker 1: has sent me to this court one thousand miles away
12:00
Speaker 1: from my family. I just hope that the urgency that
12:03
Speaker 1: you deemed fit for me are afforded to the hundreds
12:08
Speaker 1: of others who have been here without hearings for months now.
12:12
Speaker 1: His attorneys again have until April the twenty third to
12:16
Speaker 1: file relief applications. During the hearing, the Department of holand
12:21
Speaker 1: Security attorneys also spoke about how this individual misrepresented himself
12:27
Speaker 1: on his green card application lying to get into the US.
12:31
Speaker 1: The Department of Homeland Security attorneys said that the man
12:34
Speaker 1: was not upfront about some of the organizations that he
12:38
Speaker 1: was involved with. Mack Mood, they said, willfully failed to
12:43
Speaker 1: disclose his employment with Assyrian Office in the British Embassy
12:47
Speaker 1: in Beirut when he applied for permanent US residency. Federal
12:52
Speaker 1: officials alleged that Mackmuod was inadmissible at the time of
12:56
Speaker 1: his adjustment because of fraud or willful misrepresentation of material
13:03
Speaker 1: facts in his status application. In other words, this Skuy's
13:07
Speaker 1: a pathological liar to get into the US is what
13:10
Speaker 1: they're accusing him of. The agency also accused him of
13:13
Speaker 1: failing to disclose his work for the United Nations Relief
13:16
Speaker 1: and Work Agency, specifically for Palestine refugees, and membership in
13:22
Speaker 1: Columbia University's apartheid divest Now, this is another example of
13:28
Speaker 1: the Trump administration saying we're willing to dig We're willing
13:32
Speaker 1: to look and we're willing to make sure that people
13:34
Speaker 1: that come to this country are not wishing harm on
13:37
Speaker 1: anyone and aren't advocating for terrorist organizations. This ruling, no
13:42
Speaker 1: doubt will have major precedent in allowing the administration to
13:46
Speaker 1: continue to go after those that were violent or advocating
13:51
Speaker 1: for violence on college campuses coast to coast. Now, let
13:55
Speaker 1: me also be clear about something else, because if you
13:58
Speaker 1: think Democrats are going to lie down on this one,
14:00
Speaker 1: the radicals are going to stop, they're not. Because following
14:03
Speaker 1: the ruling, mcmood's immigration attorney called the decision quote unjust
14:09
Speaker 1: as it is alarming, saying, quote, this is a blatant
14:12
Speaker 1: violation of the First Amendment and a dangerous present for
14:15
Speaker 1: anyone who believes in free speech and political expression. Mac
14:20
Speaker 1: mood is currently imprison in Louisiana, a state that detains
14:24
Speaker 1: over seven thousand people daily and serves as the second
14:29
Speaker 1: largest hub for immigration attention in the US. Louisiana's nine
14:33
Speaker 1: detention centers, eight of which are privately operated, as attorney said,
14:37
Speaker 1: include the only ice facility in the country directly connected
14:41
Speaker 1: to an airport, thus streamlining mass deportations. Across the state.
14:46
Speaker 1: The Department of homeand Security Secretary Christy Noam also weighed
14:49
Speaker 1: in on the ruling, saying that the Columbia University graduate
14:52
Speaker 1: quote hates America, saying this, it is a privilege to
14:57
Speaker 1: be granted visa or green card to live and study
15:00
Speaker 1: in the United States of America. When you advocate for violence,
15:04
Speaker 1: glorifying and supporting terrorists, and relish the killing of Americans
15:10
Speaker 1: and harassed Jews, that privilege should be revoked and you
15:14
Speaker 1: should not be in this country, she said, and then
15:17
Speaker 1: she added good riddance now. On Tuesday, his attorneys also
15:22
Speaker 1: ordered the federal government to quote provide evidence by Wednesday
15:26
Speaker 1: justifying their attempt to deport Mike Mood. The Secretary of State,
15:32
Speaker 1: Marco Rubia responded on behalf of the government and roughly
15:36
Speaker 1: a one and a half page letter sent to the
15:38
Speaker 1: court on Wednesday. He cited a provision in the Immigration
15:42
Speaker 1: Nationality Act of nineteen fifty two to justify the removal
15:46
Speaker 1: from the US. The provision allows the Secretary of State
15:50
Speaker 1: to deport non citizens if the Secretary determines their presence
15:54
Speaker 1: in the US quote would have serious adverse foreign policy consequences.
16:00
Speaker 1: Rubio accused the man of participating in anti Semitic protests
16:04
Speaker 1: and disruptive activities which fosters a hostile environment for Jewish
16:09
Speaker 1: students in the United States. He said anti Semitic conduct
16:13
Speaker 1: and disruptive protests the United States would severely undermine the
16:16
Speaker 1: significant foreign policy objective Rubio stated in his letter. The
16:22
Speaker 1: attorneys for the individual have argued that the government's attention
16:26
Speaker 1: of the Columbia University graduate is extraordinary and unprecedented, and
16:31
Speaker 1: that the Immigration and Nationality Act of nineteen fifty two
16:34
Speaker 1: scope is quote breath taking translation. They can't stand the
16:40
Speaker 1: fact that we have a leader in this country and
16:43
Speaker 1: people under him who are willing to put Americans first
16:46
Speaker 1: and not allow for people to come into this country
16:49
Speaker 1: as a privileged individual to go and study at our
16:52
Speaker 1: universities who are then actually attacking and trying to radicalize
16:56
Speaker 1: those around them. Quick break, Ben Ferguson should oh much more.
17:00
Speaker 1: Coming up. One thing that Donald Trump promised was he
17:04
Speaker 1: was going to give the power back to the people. Well,
17:08
Speaker 1: Doge is leading that effort, and the President is now
17:11
Speaker 1: saying it is a top priority to make sure that
17:13
Speaker 1: you can go to your government when there is a
17:16
Speaker 1: problem Americans apparently that are witnessing crippling federal regulations are
17:23
Speaker 1: now going to be allowed to go directly to DOGE
17:25
Speaker 1: to report the red tape issues. The Department of Government
17:29
Speaker 1: Efficiency launching a new website where you or people you
17:34
Speaker 1: know can directly report and suggest how to deregulate and
17:39
Speaker 1: the policies within the federal government that are holding Americans back.
17:44
Speaker 1: Quote your voice in federal decision making is important impacted
17:49
Speaker 1: by an existing rule or regulation, Well, then share your
17:53
Speaker 1: ideas for deregulation by completing this new DOGE form. Now
17:59
Speaker 1: this way website is now live, and I want you
18:02
Speaker 1: to know about it, and I want you to share
18:04
Speaker 1: it wherever you can on social media. The website is
18:07
Speaker 1: Regulations with an ass dot gov. DOGE worked with the
18:13
Speaker 1: Government Services Administration that is an independent agency tasked with
18:17
Speaker 1: helping support the functioning of other federal agencies, as well
18:22
Speaker 1: as the Office of Management and Budget, which is the
18:26
Speaker 1: federal office frequently charged with overseeing deregulation efforts to launch
18:31
Speaker 1: the website, and again that website is Regulations dot gov. Quote.
18:37
Speaker 1: DOGE is combining the administration's goals of adding transparency and
18:43
Speaker 1: slashing waste fraud and abuse by offering the American people
18:48
Speaker 1: the unique opportunity to recommend more deregulatory actions. This doge
18:54
Speaker 1: led effort highlighting President Trump's top priority to put the
18:59
Speaker 1: people for and the government bureaucrats last. That is what
19:03
Speaker 1: the White House spokesman said over the weekend. The website's
19:08
Speaker 1: main page will direct users to a form where you
19:12
Speaker 1: can report de regulatory suggestions, which provides users with more
19:16
Speaker 1: than a dozen prompts regarding their issue. The prompts include
19:20
Speaker 1: describing which federal agency has promoted a regulation at issue,
19:25
Speaker 1: if the regulation is finalized or in the midst of
19:28
Speaker 1: the rulemaking process, and justification for the deregulation, the history
19:33
Speaker 1: of how the regulation operates, and the title and name
19:37
Speaker 1: of the agency's leader, as well as other detailed information
19:41
Speaker 1: on the regulation. The form prompts users also to provide
19:45
Speaker 1: their name, but the box is not mandatory to complete
19:48
Speaker 1: before submission, meaning that if you're, in essence a whistleblower,
19:52
Speaker 1: they'll happily take your suggestion. The person who submits a
19:56
Speaker 1: deregulatory suggestion could see the Trump administration name the recession
20:02
Speaker 1: of the rule after the individual. So if you would
20:05
Speaker 1: love to have your name official. Well, the Trump administration,
20:09
Speaker 1: if they take your vice, is going to give you
20:11
Speaker 1: credit for it. Quote only answer, if you would like
20:15
Speaker 1: the recession to be named after you or your organization,
20:18
Speaker 1: providing your name does not guarantee that it will appear
20:21
Speaker 1: on any final agency action. And we reserve the right
20:24
Speaker 1: to refrain from using names that are inappropriate or offensive.
20:28
Speaker 1: This again going back to what Donald Trump said, I'm
20:32
Speaker 1: putting Americans first and the bureaucrats last in my administration,
20:37
Speaker 1: and it's another win for the American people. Now, this
20:40
Speaker 1: also goes back to what Elon Musk has said. And
20:43
Speaker 1: by the way, if you miss what Elon Musk had
20:45
Speaker 1: to say to myself and Senator Cruz, go back and
20:48
Speaker 1: listen to that podcast. It was a two part series
20:51
Speaker 1: about what Doe is doing, and it was truly incredible
20:53
Speaker 1: to hear exactly what Elon Musk has uncovered. And Elon
20:57
Speaker 1: Musk has railed against regulation since the very beginning. It
21:03
Speaker 1: was actually before the administration took office, when he was
21:06
Speaker 1: helping Donald Trump win the White House, when he joined
21:09
Speaker 1: President Trump's campaign in battleground Straits, he said, we have
21:13
Speaker 1: a government that is not working for the people. In
21:16
Speaker 1: a Pennsylvania rally ahead of the election, Must recounted how
21:20
Speaker 1: his company, SpaceX was wrapped up in quote a bunch
21:23
Speaker 1: of nutty stories related to government over regulation, including studying
21:27
Speaker 1: the probability of the company's Starship rocket hitting a whale
21:32
Speaker 1: or shark, and facing lofty fines from the EPA for
21:36
Speaker 1: dumping fresh water on the ground quote unquote, I'll tell
21:40
Speaker 1: you like a crazy thing, like we got fined one
21:43
Speaker 1: hundred and forty thousand by the EPA for dumping fresh
21:47
Speaker 1: water on the ground, drinking water. It's crazy. I'll just
21:51
Speaker 1: give you an example of just how crazy it is.
21:54
Speaker 1: And we're like, well, we're using water to cool the
21:57
Speaker 1: launch pad during launch. You know, we're going to cool
21:59
Speaker 1: the lad so it doesn't overheat, and an excess of caution,
22:03
Speaker 1: we actually brought in drinking water, so clean, super clean water,
22:08
Speaker 1: Must said to the audience of the time in Pennsylvania
22:11
Speaker 1: last year. And the FAA said, no, you have to
22:15
Speaker 1: pay a one hundred and forty thousand dollars fine. And
22:19
Speaker 1: we're like, but Starbase is in a tropical thunderstorm area,
22:24
Speaker 1: skywater falls all the time, Must recounter, referring to SpaceX
22:28
Speaker 1: headquarters in Texas. Quote that is the same as the
22:32
Speaker 1: water we use. So it's like, well, there's no harm
22:35
Speaker 1: to anything. And they said, yeah, but we didn't have
22:39
Speaker 1: a permit. We're like, you need a permit for fresh
22:42
Speaker 1: water must set at the time. The Trump regulations three
22:47
Speaker 1: to one. And these are the types of stories that
22:51
Speaker 1: now Musk and the President are looking from you, the
22:54
Speaker 1: American people. You have to remember that Trump went on
22:57
Speaker 1: a deregulation blitz target energy and climate regulations last week
23:02
Speaker 1: in a series of executive orders aim to unleash the
23:06
Speaker 1: power of coal energy in the US, including ending a
23:09
Speaker 1: pause to coal leasing on federal lands, promoting coal and
23:14
Speaker 1: cold technology exports, and encouraging the use of coal to
23:18
Speaker 1: power artificial intelligence activities. Quote. President Trump knows that the
23:24
Speaker 1: bureaucracy is built to regulate, not deregulate. The results are
23:30
Speaker 1: an ever increasing number of regulations that stifle innovation and
23:35
Speaker 1: limit American freedom. That is what the White House said
23:39
Speaker 1: this week. At the end of the day, what it's
23:41
Speaker 1: very clear is happening is the President saying, look, we
23:44
Speaker 1: know there's so many things that are happening that we
23:47
Speaker 1: may not know about because of so many government regulations
23:51
Speaker 1: that we are asking you to help. We're giving you
23:55
Speaker 1: a website that you can go to and you can
23:58
Speaker 1: be the whistleblower to tell us what we can do
24:00
Speaker 1: to help you. Never before in our government's history have
24:05
Speaker 1: we had a place for men and women just like
24:08
Speaker 1: you and I to go and then tell about how
24:12
Speaker 1: a regulation is hurting you your business or a industry
24:17
Speaker 1: that you're involved in. You've also never had a president
24:21
Speaker 1: encourage the American people to stand up to its own
24:24
Speaker 1: government and advocate for you, telling exactly what's happening wherever
24:29
Speaker 1: you are now. Democrats are already criticizing the website, calling
24:34
Speaker 1: it a ridiculous notion that the American people would be
24:39
Speaker 1: able to understand what's actually happening and they won't understand
24:43
Speaker 1: how important the regulations actually are. Well, let me say
24:48
Speaker 1: this to the Democrats. The American people know good and
24:51
Speaker 1: well what good businesses look like and what regulations are
24:55
Speaker 1: doing to destroy their businesses, especially small businesses. And Jon
25:00
Speaker 1: must put it, it's time for the American people to
25:02
Speaker 1: have a government that listens to them, that works for them,
25:05
Speaker 1: that advocates for them, and that makes it easier for
25:09
Speaker 1: them to succeed than to fail. In business. Make sure
25:13
Speaker 1: you share this podcast wherever you can on social media,
25:16
Speaker 1: and I will see you back here tomorrow
