PM Show Hr 2 | Border Security Used to be Common Sense to Democrats

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:01):
It's that time, time, time, time, luck and load. Michael
Very Show is on.

Speaker 2 (00:11):
The air, probably then jet place.

Speaker 3 (00:17):
And i've him.

Speaker 2 (00:18):
Back and.

Speaker 1 (00:21):
I hate two.

Speaker 4 (00:22):
The president of Columbia refused to accept a flight of migrants.

Speaker 5 (00:30):
He said he wouldn't take them.

Speaker 4 (00:32):
Donald Trump said, We're going to enter the f around
and find out portion of this conversation. Within an hour
of making that threat, the President of Columbia said, whoa, whoa,
I'll send my own plane to pick these people up.

Speaker 5 (00:45):
L two zero nin er, you are clear for takeoff, Roger, huh.
Departure frequency one two three point niner Roger, time request
factor over. But flight two zero nin er clear for
a victor at three two four.

Speaker 1 (00:58):
We have clear starts, Roger, Roger, what's our victor?

Speaker 5 (01:01):
Victor?

Speaker 1 (01:04):
But opening up to anyone who's in the country illegally
and going into schools and grabbing them to that kids don't.

Speaker 5 (01:10):
Message needs to be clear. This consequences enter a country legally.

Speaker 4 (01:14):
If we don't show those consequences, you'll never go pick
the border process.

Speaker 2 (01:17):
Right. But we are a country of laws. For our
immigration policy to make sense, it is necessary to make
distinctions between those who obey the law and those who
violate it.

Speaker 1 (01:35):
Therefore, we disagree with.

Speaker 2 (01:37):
Those who would label any effort to control illegal immigration
as somehow inherently and immigrants unlawful immigration is.

Speaker 1 (01:46):
Not excited.

Speaker 6 (01:54):
If they've committed a crime, to port them, no questions asked,
They're gone. If they if they've been working and are
law abiding, we should say, here are the conditions for
you staying. You have to pay a stiff fine because
you came here illegally.

Speaker 1 (02:08):
You have to pay back taxes.

Speaker 6 (02:10):
And you have to try to learn English, and you
have to wait in line to go in with some mesitation.

Speaker 3 (02:18):
You know that you probably noticed, but in case you
didn't identify every voice there. That was a montage of
some prominent Democrats talking about how we have to secure
our border, deport the illegals, and keep them from coming here,
including Barbara Jordan, a long time, not that long actually,

(02:45):
black woman congressman from Houston, Texas.

Speaker 1 (02:49):
Sadly she had MS.

Speaker 3 (02:53):
She had multiple sclerosis that she contracted or was became
aware of in nineteen seventy three, her first year as
a congressman. And she didn't get to serve very long
as a congressman. And I say that because she was
very well respected as this black woman Democrat in seventy

(03:15):
three and through the seventies, in fact, all the way
into the eighties, she retired and taught at the University
of Texas School of Government.

Speaker 1 (03:21):
There because she.

Speaker 3 (03:23):
Spoke in this very regal manner in which an highly
educated black woman or man of that time would, And
part of that was these were the first This was
the first era of the black intellectual on the mass scene.

(03:44):
This wasn't at an HBCU where they're teaching to students.
These were black intellectuals speaking on the national and international
stage as Americans, and they wanted to a very august appearance.

(04:05):
Clarence Thomas still does that, and they did not relax.
It was always very serious, very image conscious.

Speaker 1 (04:14):
And she was so well.

Speaker 3 (04:16):
Respected was Barbara Jordan that in nineteen seventy six she
was chosen to give the keynote address at the convention
where Jimmy Carter would speak. Now, mind you, Nixon wins
in sixty eight. Nixon wins in seventy two. Democrats haven't
won a presidential election since going back to sixty four,

(04:40):
which they win twelve years earlier, which they win. Really,
Johnson doesn't win that so much as they guilt the
nation into it. Because JFK has been assassinated. They marginalized
Goldwater as some sort of a nut job.

Speaker 1 (04:56):
He wasn't.

Speaker 3 (04:57):
In fact, Goldwater was a far more moderate Republican by
today's standards than you would believe, especially on social policy.
But they made him out to be a guy that
just wanted to drop bombs, much as they did of
Donald Trump.

Speaker 1 (05:11):
Turned out not to be true.

Speaker 3 (05:13):
So it's seventy six and the keynote address is delivered
by Barbara Jordan, this black woman from the South who's
relatively conservative for a Democrat and certainly for a Black
Democrat and a woman. This is the era of the
Shirley Chisholms. Little after Shirley Chishom, but this is the era.
This is a very different black woman national stature leader

(05:37):
than her later successor, Sheila Jackson Lee, who tried to
constantly cloak herself in the eighteenth Congressional District representative.

Speaker 1 (05:46):
But she was no Barbara Jordan. She tried to be.

Speaker 3 (05:49):
Maxine Waters, Eddie Bernice Johnson, Jasmine Crockett. Now, these black
women you know today are are the There's a certain
category of them. There's certainly not true of all of them,
who are just loud mouthed race baiting.

Speaker 1 (06:07):
And they're dumb. They're dumb dumbs.

Speaker 3 (06:10):
And I know you're not supposed to say that if
somebody's black, but if it's true, truth is a defense
to libel defamation, and what I say on the air,
they're dumb dums. Maxine Waters is a dumb dumb Sheila
Jackson Lee was a dumb dumb Eddie, Bernice Johnson dumb dumb.
Now they are also three of them very corrupt. But
in any case, Barbara Jordan speaks in seventy six to

(06:34):
represent a new South, a more conservative South. She was
a black woman Democrat who could be presented to white
labor and say, hey, the new Democrats, even the Black Democrats,
are not radical. You can reason with them. They share
your values. So there is Barbara Jordan explaining things like,

(06:58):
you're not a nation unless you enforce your borders. If
you come to this country illegally, you must be removed
and deported for the good of our people and for
those standing in line.

Speaker 1 (07:13):
This was a Democrat saying this.

Speaker 3 (07:16):
Imagine that today Barbara Jordan was so well regarded that
seventy six, she's this star congressman. Now she's in the
throes of multiple scroses at the time, so her fingers
are closing, they're becoming gnarled. Her gait was unsteady, starts
walking with a cane and she's struggling. And yet she's

(07:40):
still so well respected. She was so well respected even
into in the eighties. As she steps down from Congress
because her health couldn't hold up, she goes to the
University of Texas where she's teaching at.

Speaker 1 (07:51):
The School Government.

Speaker 3 (07:53):
Nineteen ninety two, sixteen years later, she hadn't been a
congressman for years. Bill Clinton has her give the speech there,
kind of rekindling the Carter seventy six of you know,
a southern white male who's a new Democrat and when
you and then she chaired the committee, the Commission on Immigration.

(08:14):
Go look up what she said about securing on our border.
She sounds like Trump today.

Speaker 5 (08:18):
Die.

Speaker 1 (08:19):
I will die for discraft. Michael Barry, Joe, He's the.

Speaker 5 (08:22):
Big honor to be living in the United States.

Speaker 3 (08:27):
Scott Jennings has done such a wonderful job at CNN.

Speaker 1 (08:30):
A lot of people want.

Speaker 3 (08:30):
Him plucked from CNN put into the white House Press team,
and I think when Carolyn Levitt is done, he would
be on the short list of people. But I have
to tell you he is so useful in his so
influential in his role at CNN. Now their ratings have

(08:52):
absolutely cratered. But what Jennings is able to do is
be a voice of reason in a sea of insanity
on CNN and a lot of people who would never
be exposed to the type of thought that is expressed
every day on talk radio through some of the guests

(09:13):
and hosts on Fox News, people are exposed to what
is what are very reasoned arguments by someone who's not
on the payroll of big government, big arms, big Military
Industrial complex, big pharma, big immigration, the way the Catholic

(09:33):
Church has been sold out to.

Speaker 1 (09:36):
Illegal immigration, which we'll get to.

Speaker 3 (09:38):
If you're a Catholic, you don't need to send me
an email that you're offended because you're a Catholic. And
I called for accountability among the Catholic Church receiving money,
the Catholic charities receiving money from the government for resettlement,
which has become a big industry.

Speaker 1 (09:51):
You don't need to do that because all I'm going
to do is tell you.

Speaker 3 (09:55):
Need to be holding the Catholic Church accountable, not me.
I'm not a parishioner. I'm not paying their bills. But
I'm going to call it out because guess what, I
love my country more than I love your church, and
I don't believe it's the one true church.

Speaker 1 (10:09):
Just so you know, Southern Baptist here.

Speaker 3 (10:10):
One week into his second term, President Trump already achieved
legend status. Scott Jennings tells the CNN panel how the
President of Columbia learned the hard way well.

Speaker 4 (10:21):
Number One, the reason Donald Trump had to resort to
these tariffs and sanctions and punishments today is because the
president of Columbia refused to accept a flight of migrants.
He said he wouldn't take them. Donald Trump said, We're
going to enter the f around and find out portion
of this conversation, and he hit him with.

Speaker 5 (10:38):
Sanctions and tariffs.

Speaker 4 (10:39):
And now tonight the Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson
says Congress is going.

Speaker 5 (10:43):
To back him up on that.

Speaker 4 (10:43):
He's putting Columbia, He's putting the rest of this hemisphere
on notice that you are not dealing with the same
president that you were. You're dealing with someone who is
taking illegal immigration seriously. Now, within an hour of making
that threat, the president of Columbia said, whoaa, whoa, I'll
send my own plane to pick these people up. So
obviously he got their attention. I don't think there's actually
going to be any terrriff for between the United States

(11:05):
and Columbia, because as long as they come get their people,
I doubt Donald Trump's can end up tariffing them, and
they won't tariff US, and they'll have learned a valuable
lesson that Donald Trump is taking immigration illegal immigration seriously.
This is real leadership, but it sends a message to
everybody else in the hemisphere, do not test us. This
is not Biden and Harris. This is Trump Advance. We

(11:27):
mean business. And you know it happened under Barack Obama.
Actually he deported millions upon millions of people. And I
don't have any recollection of the US economy collapsing and
no Republican and I don't think most Americans are taking
seriously the argument that the US economy is underpinned by violent,
criminal illegal immigrants. I mean, if our entire economy is
underpinned by people who are rapists and murders and commit

(11:48):
other violent acts.

Speaker 5 (11:49):
Then you know, we got a whole other set of issues.

Speaker 4 (11:51):
Going on in the economy we are to talk about today.

Speaker 5 (11:55):
I mean on people, people just aren't. People just aren't
buying that argument.

Speaker 4 (11:59):
So the populations that they're starting with are violent, criminal
illegal aliens.

Speaker 5 (12:04):
Then they also have a million and a half.

Speaker 4 (12:05):
People who have existing fully adjudicated in orders. And beyond that,
I would just point out that if you came to
this country illegally, you're already a criminal illegal immigrant. You've
already broken our laws, even if you haven't been arrested
yet or charged with it. If you're here illegally, if
you broke our laws, then you're going to be targeted. Now,
maybe you're not going to be a top priority today

(12:26):
because there's other more dangerous people here. But we cannot
send a message that, well, some illegal immigration is okay.
And that's been the problem by the last four years.
Basically Biden and Harris were like, Eh, just get here
and it'll probably work out for you. That is no
longer the communication strategy of the US government.

Speaker 5 (12:44):
The strategy is don't try us.

Speaker 4 (12:46):
Whether you're the president of Columbia or somebody who.

Speaker 5 (12:49):
Just walked across the border illegally. Do not try us.
It is not going to work out for you, period.

Speaker 3 (12:54):
And a Navarro is a woman who used her Hispanic
woman status to climb the social stature social ladder in
Republican politics, much as Michael Steele.

Speaker 1 (13:07):
Did as a black man in Maryland.

Speaker 3 (13:11):
Because if you're a minority and you call yourself a Republican,
it doesn't matter whether you share the values or aren't.

Speaker 1 (13:18):
You just say I'm a.

Speaker 3 (13:19):
Minority, I'm a Republican, I'm real loud, and you'll be elevated.
It's a problem we have in the Republican Party because
white Republicans are so scared of being called a racist
that if they find a minority who says I'm for
George H. W. Bush or I'm for George W. Bush,
then they get so excited. They're like, well, let's put
you in charge. You should run for president. We did

(13:41):
this with Colin Powell, remember, and then I had people
telling me as late as two thousand and six that
Colin Powell should be our nominee after George W. Bush
and eight, and I said, you don't know what he
stands for on anything. He just looks good in a uniform,
and he's black and he doesn't spout power to the
people with a clinched fist, and you think, oh, let's

(14:03):
make him president. And then in two thousand and eight,
you know, we ended up supporting Barack Obama. Now, anybody
that can support Barack Obama for president wasn't a guy
you wanted to be president.

Speaker 1 (14:14):
Can we agree with that? Anna Navarro was a.

Speaker 3 (14:18):
Was the toast of the town in monst republiccause now
she's on the view and she made the statement that
if we put tariffs on Colombian products, our coffee's gonna
cost too much. Fine, we'll buy our coffee from Indonesia
and Ethiopia. There are plenty of places to get coffee
in the world. And by the way, they they're more
hungry for our coffee. Anyway, we drink Ethiopian coffee. Ramon

(14:40):
likes Indonesian cour It doesn't matter. The point is we
hate illegal immigration and the violence on our people more
than we love your coffee. So whoever wants the Colombian
coffee can pay more for it because they're going to
be subsidizing the illegal aliens at Columbia won't take back.

Speaker 1 (14:56):
But Anna Andavarro made the point, your.

Speaker 3 (14:59):
Coffee's gonna cost and guess what Valentine's Day is going
to come up, and all your flowers come from Columbia.
You know that's true. And do you know why? Because
under George H. W. Bush, in nineteen ninety one, the Andian.

Speaker 1 (15:12):
Trade Promotion and Drug Eradication Act.

Speaker 3 (15:17):
Eliminated or devastated the cut flower industry in California. Do
you know that over two thirds of the flowers you
bought for Valentine's Day in this country came from California
until nineteen ninety one when that.

Speaker 1 (15:32):
Act was passed. You know what we did.

Speaker 3 (15:35):
We allowed them to dump their product on our market
on very favorable terms, and within ten years, our cut
flower industry, a four billion dollars a year industry.

Speaker 1 (15:48):
Was devastated.

Speaker 3 (15:49):
You take a drive from Pescadero in Monterey, California, and
you will see what was a once very proud regional economy.
That is, it's now dilapidated. Greenhouses and and and fields
that are now fallow that were once a thriving industry,

(16:09):
The lands worth less, there's no jobs, all of it
because Bush's quote unquote free trade gave that industry to Columbia.

Speaker 1 (16:18):
Let's bring it back.

Speaker 3 (16:19):
What you say Maddy kuris Omede to damasul Man, Goer
Bety Show, super Me, well Weather, Lee Majors. Is Heath
Barkley to you from Big Valley? Or Steve Austin from

(16:40):
The six Million Dollar Man? Or Colt Sievers on The
Fall Guy depends a lot on when you were born
and when you hit the age where that was. Of course,
he was in a number of other movies as well,
and something of a legend. Qout some of them. He's
a legend, and he's also a dear friend of mine.

(17:01):
He lives in Houston. If he doesn't get a dang,
I don't know who does remote? Oh you doing something else? Oh?
Ramone got himself carried away watching the opening of six
Million Dollars Man.

Speaker 1 (17:14):
Hey, you know what that can happen. I'm not mad
at you. He got distracted. That's an easy thing to do.
He will be my guest tomorrow morning.

Speaker 3 (17:21):
Most of you know, I do a morning show of
three hours long that is not nationally syndicated. It's a
Houston show that also picks up some South Texas stations
Love Utt and some other stations. And then this our
evening show is a nationally syndicated show. They're different shows,

(17:41):
and occasionally I do something in the morning that I
think I want to share on the evening show. I
don't do it often because some folks listen to all
five hours live and then our podcast listeners typically listen
to Morning and the evening show and they get aggravated
that we've repeated something. So I'm warning you that tomorrow

(18:02):
evening there will be a segment or two from the
morning show that I will play on this the evening show.
And the reason I'm telling you this is I have
a specific reason. He's our guest tomorrow. But if there
is a question you've always wanted me to ask Lee Majors,
the six million Dollar Man, if you email it to
me tonight, I will put it in my stack of
questions for him from listeners and he enjoys answering those questions.

(18:26):
And remember, you can always email me through our website,
which is Michael Berryshow dot com Michael m I C
H A E L B E R R Y Michael
Berryshow dot com.

Speaker 1 (18:36):
You can email me there.

Speaker 3 (18:37):
I will read those and use them to prep for tomorrow,
and you'll hear that tomorrow on the Evening Show. So
you're gonna hear, including from some Republicans, Conservatives, economists, people
that you think are on our side, that we cannot
use the tariffs.

Speaker 1 (18:58):
Tariffs are gonna hurt us. And let me tell you why.

Speaker 3 (19:01):
That is faulty logic because I am not necessarily a
huge fan of governmental intervention in trade, but I am
also something of a realist. While I have the idealism
of free trade, when you understand that you operate in

(19:22):
a world where there is not free trade and you're
engaged in free trade, but the other side is not.
Once you understand that and you're trying to get people
to tear down barriers to our products, then you have
to operate in a different world, all the while hoping

(19:46):
to achieve the idealism. You can't let the grape be
the enemy of the good, and you can't give up
hope that you can achieve a world where American manufacturing,
American industry competes level playing field with other countries. But
too often our political leadership has allowed our industries. I

(20:09):
told you the story about the California flower industry. The
industry is referred to as cut flower because these are
flowers that are literally cut and presented. So if you
go to the flower market and fellas I know a
lot of you are, in the next couple of weeks,
you're going to go to buy roses or you know whatever.

Speaker 1 (20:30):
You're my wife's an orchid girl.

Speaker 3 (20:32):
But whether you're roses or whatever, that might be ponees
or whatever else. All of that over two thirds of
it was raised in California. Well, probably the biggest national
florist is a family out of California that are very,

(20:53):
very politically connected that now they're coming under quite a
bit of attack because they own Fiji. They owned a
number of agricultural interests. They dominate the pistachio market.

Speaker 1 (21:07):
All of which you see.

Speaker 3 (21:09):
The reason Californians didn't protest when they lost their competitive
advantage in agriculture is because the Left was being funded
by foreign interests to push against agriculture.

Speaker 1 (21:25):
Because guess what, it takes.

Speaker 3 (21:27):
One point one gallons per per day to raise one pistachio,
that's what I read.

Speaker 1 (21:35):
I don't know that for a fact.

Speaker 3 (21:36):
I read that, and it takes even more than that
for a number of other crops that we use, and
that sounds horrible. So What happens is these foreign interests
who want our business. They want to supply us bananas,
or they want to supply us all these number of
different products. They hire former congressmen who when they leave office,

(22:01):
they got access to all their buddies. They chase the
same girls, They sit in the same hot tubs with
the same prostitutes every night.

Speaker 1 (22:08):
They fly on the same junkets.

Speaker 3 (22:09):
Now they have a card where they can take them
to nice steakhouses and sit on the front row of
the baseball game, and they go, hey, let's shut down
American ag in California and we'll win you some votes
from the Liberals, from the greeny whenies well. As a

(22:30):
result of that, that gives a competitive advantage to foreign
interest to supply us things like avocados from Mexico or
cut flowers from Colombia. America's loss of the ability to manufacture,
to create, to build, it's not entirely.

Speaker 1 (22:54):
Because we're lazy or our wages are too high.

Speaker 3 (22:59):
It is in many cases so convoluted, so complicated. What
our government did to sell us out, and what all
of these nonprofits whose CEO is making millions, what they
did to create these distractions so that the people of
California would say, yes, stop using.

Speaker 1 (23:21):
Water for agriculture. You're destroying the earth.

Speaker 3 (23:24):
They actually require more water to raise those flowers in Colombia.

Speaker 1 (23:29):
And if you're a citizen of the Earth, which is
what the.

Speaker 3 (23:32):
Global green movement's all about, what do you care if
it's California water or Colombian water that's raising the flower.

Speaker 1 (23:39):
And by the way, what do you.

Speaker 3 (23:41):
Think is more efficient to have flowers raised in California
that we use across the country to present to our
girl for Valentine's Day or to have flowers raised in
Colombia that then have to be shipped, flown trucked here.

Speaker 1 (24:00):
And that's what happened. We were fart hard for the
freedom to vote.

Speaker 5 (24:04):
That Michael Arries show.

Speaker 1 (24:10):
What's the point about the tariffs? I've we have had.

Speaker 3 (24:16):
Tariff and quota and subsidy discussions throughout the course of
American history, government picking winners and losers, and many times
government intervention in an industry are related to a country
and them exporting to us, which they're export is our import.

Speaker 1 (24:39):
I know I'm speaking down to you, but I want
to make.

Speaker 3 (24:41):
Sure we all understand a tariff is the imposition of
a fine on a product coming in from an industry
or a country. In this case, it is tariffs on
Colombian goods coming into the United States as a punishment
for Columbia REFU using to take back their citizens who

(25:01):
were here illegally. When we deposit them back to their
rightful place, which is in Colombia, Well, they don't want
them because.

Speaker 1 (25:12):
They're murderers and rapists.

Speaker 3 (25:15):
Last thing they need is more murderers and rapists on
Colombian soil. They were glad to get rid of them.
They don't want them back. These people cost you a
lot of money. They cost you crimes, they cost you
loss of life, and then if you eventually catch them
and imprison them, they cost you to feed them every day.

Speaker 1 (25:35):
I mean, it's a mess.

Speaker 3 (25:37):
So for Trump to say We're going to impose a
tariff of twenty five percent on Colombian goods coming here, well,
the big items coming here are as I told you,
cut flowers, coffee. A big Colombian good to the United
States is oil. Well, I'll leave that conversation because I'm

(26:00):
about to go off on a tangent on that, and
I don't want to do that. People will tell you, well,
if you impose a tariff of twenty five percent and
then fifty percent after a week, which was a threat,
he won't have to make good on it now because
the Columbian president saw the light, shall we say? And

(26:22):
people will say, well, that's just a tax that Americans
are going to pay. That's inflation twenty five percent. Products
that we were buying are just going to cost twenty
five percent more.

Speaker 1 (26:33):
It's just going to be passed on to the consumer.
And that is true.

Speaker 3 (26:37):
However, there isn't what economists will tell you, there is
an elastic demand for products based on their price. If
I told you I'll sell you this ribbi for one dollar,
this twelve ounce beautiful ribbi for cooked for one dollar,

(27:03):
you'd buy as much as you could get. You might
buy the whole, your whole neighborhood one of them. If
I told you I'd sell you the same rib i cooked,
delivered onto your plate, delicious, for four hundred dollars, I
wouldn't have any takers. Price is how we communicate. At

(27:25):
one dollar, you tell me I really want it at
one dollar.

Speaker 1 (27:29):
The stake doesn't change. The price changes.

Speaker 3 (27:34):
We communicate as buyers and sellers as to the price,
we communicate without vocalizing, based on our behavior. So you
can go write a Yelp review and all that. The
greatest thing you can do to help a business is
buy from them. The best way you can tell a
business what they're doing is wrong is to refuse to

(27:56):
go there. That's how the market speaks, That's how the
buyer can unicates with the seller. So with that twenty
five percent increase, if you say, well, I don't know
what the cost of cost of coffee beans is right now,
I've got a show sponsor in Houston called Cat's Coffee
Katz Cat's Coffee, Abby catches his name, and he gets

(28:19):
beans from all over the world and he rows them
in Houston and he provides these gourmet, you know, incredible
blends for restaurants, churches, corporations. He does one for PTSD Foundation,
which is Camp Hope, which is for veterans with PTSD,
and we raise a lot of money for them. I
guess I could call him. I should have called him

(28:39):
before the show and asked him what the price of
coffee beans. The market for certain beans is and it
depends on where it's from, you know, the java that
the beans from Indonesia and the beans from Ethiopia and
the beans from Columbia have different prices and different you know,
levels of you know, price points and brag factor and
all that. But if you increase the price of Colombian

(29:02):
coffee beans twenty five percent, the price elasticity may be
so much that that would cost them ninety percent of
their business.

Speaker 1 (29:16):
It might.

Speaker 3 (29:18):
Because people might be so price conscious that they would say,
I'm not going to pay another twenty five percent for
a cup of coffee. And in that case, these beans,
I don't know how long it takes, but if you
think about how long it takes to plant the crop,

(29:39):
harvest it, ship it, that would mean that in very
short order they would be left with a lot of beans.

Speaker 1 (29:51):
And I don't know how long out the bean is purchased.

Speaker 3 (29:54):
I don't want to go too deep into this, but
that would be in pretty short order they'd be stuck
with a lot of beans in an economy that can't
afford the loss, and a big portion of their economy
that would hurt. And if twenty five percent went to
fifty percent, it wouldn't take long till people would change
what they eat. So whether you love Waterburger or McDonald's

(30:18):
or whatever your fast food restaurant is. If you spend
eight dollars on your burger, fries and coke, and that
eight dollars went to ten twenty five percent increase, you
may say, I'm not going to do that anymore.

Speaker 1 (30:32):
And that's true of everything.

Speaker 3 (30:33):
There comes a point where the elasticity related to the
price is so much.

Speaker 1 (30:39):
In luxury goods, you don't see it like that.

Speaker 3 (30:42):
A Rolls Royce that costs three hundred thousand dollars, they
could go up to three twenty five. That buyer is
probably not going to flinch because they want the status
of the Rolls Royce and the fact that it goes
higher gives them more status. But in commoditized products, products
that can be replaced toilet paper, socks, coffee.

Speaker 1 (31:07):
And Trump understands this.

Speaker 3 (31:09):
So for the Wall Street Journal to be screaming and hollering,
oh my god, not terriffs, not tariffs. He's never gonna
have to impose the tariff. For your entire life. You've
been told we can't fix this problem. We can't fix
this problem. They're too entrenched, it's too complicated. We can't

(31:30):
solve the border crisis. We can't fix the legal immigration
and whatever you suggest.

Speaker 5 (31:36):
Yeah we can.

Speaker 1 (31:36):
We'll build a wall. We won't let them in. Oh,
that won't matter. People need them here as laborers.

Speaker 3 (31:42):
Okay, well, we won't allow companies to hire people without
social security. Well, that won't matter because there's too many
people here that it becomes a moving target.

Speaker 1 (31:52):
It's too bit.

Speaker 3 (31:53):
We got to have an omnibus bill, and then we
never get approval on that. Trump is showing you don't
need commissions, you don't need blue ribbon committees, you don't
need to study it, you don't need the shuttle diplomacy,
you don't need to go back and forth in the media.
You punch them in the face and they go, you
know what, you're right, we'll solve this problem. Bring illegals

(32:14):
in here. Yeah, yeah, give us all our Columbias back,
because otherwise you crush their economy. And Trump understands that
what you're seeing is a businessman who says it can
be done in a bureaucracy that says, well, if we
ever solve the problem, we've got to planned obsolescence here.
We don't ever want to solve the problem. We're the government.
We're here for life. Why would we want to fix

(32:35):
the problem, then what would do y'all might ask us
to fix another problem

Speaker 1 (32:41):
To help us us a little thank you and good
night
