WHOLESALE CHANGE AT LEADERSHIP
LEVEL OF THE BUREAU AND THE DOJ.
>> YOU TOO, TRISH.
TRISH: EVERYONE AS BLAKE
REPORTED EARLIER PRESIDENT TRUMP
HAS SLAPPED NEW TARIFFS ON
IMPORTS AND WASHING MACHINES AND
SOLAR PANELS.
THE WHEN IT COMES TO WASHING
SOME WARN IT WILL HURT CONSUMERS
AND DRIVE PRICES UP.
IT IS ALL ABOUT PUTTING AMERICA
FIRST, HIRING MORE AMERICAN
WORKERS TO MAKE MORE AMERICAN
PRODUCTS.
HERE TO DEBATE THE ISSUE,
CONSERVATIVE TOM BORELLI, AND
JESSICA STRATEGIST JESSICA
TRADE.
BASICALLY IF YOU LOOK AT TRADE
DATA GOING BACK TO THE 190'S,
AMERICANS STARTED TO SEE THIS
SHIFT AND WE GOT A SHORTENED OF
THE STICK.
>> THE RUST BELT HAS A NAME FOR
A REASON.
WHAT PRESIDENT TRUMP IS DOING,
KEEPING PROMISES OF AMERICAN
FIRST AGENDA FOR FORGOTTEN MEN
AND WOMEN OF THE UNITED STATES.
THIS IS NOT HIS FIRST ACTION.
PARTNERSHIP.
THAT WAS ROUND ONE.
THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN ANOTHER
HORRIBLE HUGE TRADE DEAL.
NOW HE IS DOING TARIFFS.
HE IS PUTTING ACTIONS BEHIND
WORDS.
THAT IS WHAT A REAL LEADER DOES.
THEY MATCH THEIR WORD WITH
STEALING YOUR THUNDER.
WHAT ARE UNIONS GOING TO DO NOW?
WASHERS DRYERS COMING FROM CHINA
OR MEXICO.
TRISH: WHOLE NEW WAY OF
THINKING, IS HE GOING TO SCOOP
UP ALL THOSE VOTERS THAT
PREVIOUSLY WOULD HAVE WANTED THE
DEMOCRATS TO DO THIS.
>> I'M NOT SURE.
I THINK WE'LL HAVE TO SEE HOW
THIS PLAYS OUT.
I CERTAINLY BELIEVE THIS IS THE
PRESIDENT FULFILLING ONE OF HIS
PROMISE.
CAMPAIGN TRAIL.
HE WOULD GET US BETTER DEALS.
MAKE SURE WE BROUGHT JOBS HOME.
THE CONCERNS AS YOU POINTED OUT
WHEN YOU INTRODUCED THE SEGMENT
ABOUT THE COST TO THE CONSUMER
ARE INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT BECAUSE
WE MIGHT HAVE SOME MORE JOBS BUT
IF PEOPLE ARE PAYING A TON MORE
FOR THE PRODUCTS THAT WILL BE A
TRISH: I WANT TO STOP YOU THERE.
>> PEOPLE LIKE LOW PRICES ON
THEIR PRODUCTS.
TRISH: WE HAVE REALLY LOW
PRICES.
SUPER LOW PRICES.
ONE OF THE REASONS NO INFLATION
IN THIS ECONOMY RIGHT NOW
BECAUSE THE COMPETITION WHICH
STIFF WE HAVE REALLY SEEN
CONSUMER GOODS JUST PLUMMET IN
BETTER STANDARD OF LIVING.
LET ME ASK YOU THIS.
IF FOR EXAMPLE, IF THIS iPHONE
WITH KANSAS IF THEY MADE IT IN
KANSAS, AND IT COST $5,000, I
WILL STILL NEED IT, YOU ARE
STILL GOING TO NEED IT, JESSICA
WILL STILL NEED IT, IT WILL COST
US A LOT MORE MONEY, BUT MONEY
AMERICANS MAY NOT HAVE, HERE IS
THE DIFFERENCE, THAT MONEY IS
GOING TO SUPPORT A FAMILY IN
THEIR FAMILY.
GUESS WHAT YOU AND I DON'T HAVE
TO FOOT THE BILL FOR THE
DISABILITY PAYMENTS OR THE
MEDICAID OR THE CHIP PROGRAM OR
ANYTHING ELSE THAT COMES WITH A
LARGE PERCENTAGE OF PEOPLE NOT
WORKING.
>> WITH TRADE IT IS ALWAYS THE
DEVIL IS IN THE DETAILS.
THESE MASSIVE TRADE AGREEMENTS
WERE NEVER REALLY GOOD FOR THE
AMERICAN PEOPLE, AND THIS IS
WHAT PRESIDENT TRUMP IS DOING.
THERE IS A GOOD POLICY AND
OBVIOUSLY GOD POLITICS BEHIND
THIS REMEMBER HE WON MICHIGAN,
WISCONSIN, OHIO.
THIS IS IMPORTANT FOR THE
LONG, OUR COUNTRY REALLY WAS THE
PUNCHING BAG OF THE WORLD AND
PRESIDENT TRUMP SAID NO.
THERE IS A NEW SHERIFF IN TOWN.
I DON'T EXPECT IT BE A HUGE
CANADA, TO MEXICO, THAT I WILL
HAVE ACTION.
WAR, I CAN TELL YOU, JESSICA,
I'M LOOKING AT A MARKET PRETTY
MUCH AT THE FLAT LINE.
TESTIMONIES YOU INVESTORS ARE
NOT TOO WORRIED.
DO YOU THINK THE TRADE WAR
RHETORIC IS IN HERE BECAUSE HE
PUT A FEW TARIFFS ON WASHING
MACHINES?
>> IT IS SIGNAL TO MOVE IN THE
BIG DIRECTION.
CHINA WOULD BE HUGE LOSER IF WE
HAD A TRADE WAR WITH THEM.
THEY ARE ACUTELY AWARE OF THAT.
DOESN'T MEAN LIKE SOLAR PANELS
AND WHATEVER ELSE PRESIDENT
TRUMP WOULD MOVE ON TO.
THE MARKET IS RESPONDING TO THAT
BUT NOT JUST RIGHT NOW.
HE SAID HE WILL ROLL OUT A LOT
OF MORE PROPOSALS AND EXECUTIVE
ORDER FROM THIS.
WE HEARD CANADIAN PRIME MINISTER
JUSTIN TRUDEAU WITH DAVOS, THEY
PUT TOGETHER A NEW TRADE DEAL
WITHOUT US IN THE TPP WE'LL SEE
THESE COUNTRIES.
YOUR EXAMPLE 5,000-DOLLARS
IPHONE OUT OF KANSAS THAT WOULD
COST TOO MUCH FOR AMERICANS.
WE WOULD LOVE IT IF WE COULD
HAVE AMERICAN-MADE PRODUCTS FOR
VAST MAJORITY.
SHOULD WORK WITH OTHER COUNTRIES
BUT $5,000 FOR AN iPHONE.
TRISH: I'M MAKING $5,000 UP.
>> WE COULD HAVE INFLATION.
TRISH: MAYBE 3,000.
THE POINT I'M MAKING MAYBE WE
ALL SCALE BACK A LITTLE.
MAYBE WE HAVE A LITTLE LESS.
THINK ABOUT AMERICA IN THE 1950S
AND OPTIMISM EXISTED AND PEOPLE
VERSION OF THE COUNTRY THAT
DOESN'T EXIST ANYMORE BECAUSE
TODAY, IF YOU'RE LUCKY ENOUGH TO
HAVE TWO PARENTS AND ONE
HOUSEHOLD THEY MAY BE BOTH
WORKING.
KID MAY LET THEMSELVES IN AT
NIGHT.
PEOPLE HAVE SIX TV SNOOZE IT'S A
GREAT THING TO HAVE WOMEN IN THE
WORK PLACE.
WE'RE SITTING HERE, A FABULOUS
TIME.
TRISH: I'M NOT SUGGESTING WOMEN
NOT WORK.
YOU KNOW ME.
>> THAT IS WHY I'M SAYING WE
KNOW THERE HAVE BEEN ADVANCING
IN SOCIETY.
SOME OF THAT IS FROM TWO-PARENT
HOUSEHOLDS, TWO-PARENT WORKING
HOUSEHOLDS.
NO ONE WANTS KIDS LETTING
THEMSELVES IN AT NIGHT.
WE WANT TO MAKE SURE WE COVER
ALL THE EXPENSES.
TRISH: SOMETIMES WE MEANDERED
OFF INTO THE BOONIES HERE.
THE POINT BEING THERE WAS A TIME
IN THIS COUNTRY WHEN YOU COULD
GET A HIGH SCHOOL EDUCATION AND
GET A GOOD, DARN JOB AND TAKE
CARE OF YOUR FAMILY AND GO ON A
VACATION ONCE A YEAR.
TOM, THOSE DAYS ARE GONE.
CAN THEY COME BACK, AND IF WE'RE
MORE PROTECTIONIST, CAN THEY
COME BACK?
>> PRESIDENT TRUMP IS LEVELING
THE PLAYING FIELD.
HE GOT THE NIGHTS OUT OF THE
CLIMATE PARIS ACCORD WHICH IS
HUGE.
NATURAL RESOURCES.
WAGES AND HELPS OUR NATIONAL
NATURAL GAS TO POLAND THAT
DOESN'T MAKE THE RUSSIANS FEEL
VERY COMFORTABLE.
TRISH: I DON'T KNOW THE ANSWERS
ON THIS BUT I THINK IT'S
FASCINATING WE'RE TALKING ABOUT
IT IN VERY DIFFERENT WAYS AND IT
IS IMPORTANT FOR AMERICANS WE
