CHARLES: NOW THIS, SALES OF
HARLEY-DAVIDSON MOTORCYCLES HAVE
DECLINED.
I SPOKE OF THE BIKERS FOR TRUMP
CHRIS COX.
LISTEN TO WHAT HE HAD TO SAY.
ROLL TAPE.
>> TOBACCO FOR TRUMP TURN INTO A
PHENOMENON.
HE TRIED TO RAISE THEM HIGH IN
THE MANTLE OF RESPECT IN THE NEW
TURNAROUND IN ITS BEEN
UNACCEPTABLE.
I KNOW HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF
MEMBERS ARE STILL SORE ABOUT
THAT AND THEY CERTAINLY GOT A
LITTLE BIT OF APOLOGIZING TO DO
TO OUR PRESIDENT.
CHARLES: OUR NEXT GUEST DOESN'T
QUITE APPROVE OF THIS.
MIKE SHELBY, OWNER OF SAN DIEGO
HARLEY DAVIDSON.
ONE OF THE LARGEST IN THE
COUNTRY.
YOUR THOUGHTS ON THIS.
>> CHRIS IS ALL WRONG.
I APPRECIATE WHAT HE'S DONE.
I'VE SPOKEN AT THEIR EVENTS.
IT'S ONLY A NEW MOTORCYCLE
SALES.
WE ARE A VICTIM OF OUR OWN
SUCCESS.
WE ARE MAKING BIKES.
HARLEY DAVIDSON, SO WELL.
THEY'RE LAUGHING SO MUCH LONGER.
THEY'RE BIGGER, STRONGER.
YOU COULD PUT A FIVER
SIX-YEAR-OLD MOTORCYCLE FOR 7000
FROM $8000.
OTHER PEOPLE ARE DOING.
A LOT OF PEOPLE I KNOW ARE
SELLING MORE.
THE NEW HARLEYS ARE PHENOMENAL.
IT'S A BARGAIN.
PEOPLE ARE COMING IN FOR THE
BARGAIN.
YOU'RE GOING TO GET WHAT YOU PAY
FOR.
THE NEW ONES ARE AMAZING, BUT
THERE'S A DECLINE IN NEW BIKES
PALES AND THAT'S WHY IT'S
NOTHING TO DO WITH POLITICS.
CHARLES: I'VE GOT HARLEY
DAVIDSON OVER THE DECADES TO DO
RESEARCH ON THIS AND EVEN THEIR
OMISSION IS THE POOL OF BUYERS
HAS BEEN SHRINKING AS THE
DEMOGRAPHIC HAS GOTTEN OLDER AND
OLDER.
THERE'S GOT TO BE SOME TRUTH TO
THAT FROM THAT POINT OF VIEW.
WHAT WOULD YOU SAY TO THOSE
FOLKS WITH THE SOCIAL MEDIA I
HEAR ALL THE TIME AND THEY AGREE
WITH CHRIS IN THE HARLEY
DAVIDSON IS THE WHITE HOUSE AND
PRESIDENT TRUMP FOR PHOTO OPS
AND THEN TURN AROUND AND
DECISIONS MADE ON THE CORPORATE
LEVEL BEFORE TRUMP RAN FOR
PRESIDENT LIKE BUILDING THESE
BIKES OUTSIDE OF THIS COUNTRY
WHILE SHUTTING DOWN AMERICAN
JOBS LANDED ON PRESIDENT TRUMP.
>> IS JUST NOT TRUE.
IN THE FIRST PLACE COME EVERY
HARLEY-DAVIDSON SOLD IN AMERICA
IS MADE IN AMERICA.
EVERYONE SOLD WORLDWIDE IS MADE
IN AMERICA.
WHETHER THEY HAVE THAT FOR?
WHAT ARE THEY BUILDING ON ABOUT?
THEY'RE GOING TO BUILD THE
PLANT.
THEY DO HAVE MANUFACTURING
OUTSIDE IN THIS COUNTRY.
THEY DON'T MANUFACTURE, THEY
ASSEMBLED.
THERE ARE PLACES --
CHARLES: OKAY, THE DOMESTICS
GAME.
ARE AMERICANS GOING TO HAVE
THOSE?
>> THAT'S NOT A SEMANTIC.
EVERY ENGINE, RETRANSMISSION
COMMENT EVERY SINGLE PART
INCLUDING THE CREATIVITY IS MADE
RIGHT HERE IN THE UNITED STATES
OF AMERICA.
THERE ARE PLACES --
CHARLES: WOULD YOU AGREE THERE
IS A SERIOUS ISSUE WITH THE
CELLS AT LEAST, THE
HARLEY-DAVIDSON STOCK IS DOWN
DRAMATICALLY.
IT MAKES SENSE TO DO
MANUFACTURING NEAR THE AREAS.
BUT I THINK THE PROBLEM HERE IS
THEY ARE ON ISSUES THAT ARE
COMPANY SPECIFIC AND THAT'S
WHERE PEOPLE ARE UPSET ABOUT.
>> THEY ARE JUST DOING WHAT WE
HAVE TO DO TO OVERCOME THE
OBSTACLES EXPORTING MIGHT HIGH
TARIFFS AND WE HOPE THIS
PRESIDENT IS SUCCESSFUL.
I THINK HE WILL BE.
LOOK AT THE TEAR US DOWN.
CHARLES: TARIFFS ALREADY EXIST
IN THOSE COUNTRIES ARE EXPORTING
TO.
HE PUT TEARS IN OUR COUNTRY TO
FIGHT BACK AGAINST THAT.
>> YEAH, BUT THEY'RE GOING TO
RAISE THEIR TARIFFS.
CHARLES: WERE GOING TO TAKE A
MAYOR TO -- AMERICAN JOBS, IS
THAT HOW THEY FIGHT?
>> THAT'S NOT TRUE.
WE ARE TAKING AWAY AMERICAN JOBS
TO PEOPLE LIKE CHRIS COX IS
SPREADING THESE CRAZY RUMORS.
IT'S NOT TRUE.
