0:00 amid these very urgent concerns the White House issued this statement yesterday afternoon The president won his second round matchup of the senior club championship today in Jupiter Florida and advances to the championship round on Sunday Where are the consequences for the sheer not just indifference but just the the the aloofness and what they are doing to the American people If if Obama if Joe Biden if Joe Biden was on Rahobitis Beach while the stock markets were crashing and people were like what's going on my 401ks and companies are uh stockpiling stuff left and right and countries are threatening reciproc recipro retalatory tariffs and retalatory tariffs the
0:46 cameras and the papers would not be kind I got nothing because why you don't have anything I got no look The most important thing that happened yesterday was Donald Trump won the second round of his championship golf match with the Saudis and Liv That's it That's his focus Folks how many different ways do we have to tell you he don't care about you and the pain you think you're feeling now Oh baby boy and girl guess what When you get into May June July when you call an agency and nobody's there to pick up the phone just
1:31 know Donald Trump is on a golf course thinking about you and concerned about you boo Come on now I mean look Elon Musk on his way out the door is saying "Oh I hope I hope we can all come to an arrangement There should be a trade free zone between the United States and Europe Dude you're complicit in this Your fingerprints are all over this And now you're going to act like because your companies are beginning to feel the pinch Oh just warming up So you know I don't want to hear this from people about you know how painful this is You know all these folks who voted for this and ignored it and the members of Congress running away from town halls Donald Trump's on a golf course you
2:18 should be happy In in that same interview where he talked about the fact that he wanted to have more trade um between the two continents he also talked about how he wanted people to be able to move more freely between the the two continents And I was like oh So really are have you paid any attention to what this administration is doing when it comes not just to tariffs but to immigration But I digress Maybe they're just all out to lunch Joining us now are some people who are in the studio Former Republican Congressman Denver Wgleman and founder of Democratic Majority Action Pack and retired Lieutenant Colonel Amy McGrath Well Colonel this is what we do That's what we Yeah there it is on the table This Pick Pick
3:06 a topic Go for it Well I call it economic vandalism M okay because you're taking um an economy that look it's not perfect but you're ruining it and here I can speak for you know I live in Kentucky you talked about Kentucky farmers uh Kentucky farmers were hurt during the first Trump administration and Trump had to bail I don't even say Trump Trump didn't bail him out the American taxpayers y bailed him out with the over20 billion dollars And now we're we're doing the same thing And here's the thing We're those farmers are not going to get those markets back So So the markets that have left soybeans grain they've left They're gone
3:54 Other countries are going to fill in that gap and we're not going to get them back In Kentucky uh auto auto industry Toyota Ford not only is it going to hurt the industry it's going to hurt the consumers We're talking about three to$10,000 more per car when you buy a car But Trump said he doesn't care He doesn't care That's it's exactly your car prices go up Yeah Althia I just I mean remember when I we were talking the other day and I was like why is UAW supporting this when they are going to feel the pinch They're they're going to feel the pinch And I thought you know there's the point that you make uh Amy McGrath about what it is going to mean right now for consumers what it is going to mean right now for workers But Denver Ringleman I think one of the things we
4:39 have to be honest about is there are choices that are being made today that are going to have implications for generations to come I was struck by this from Politico farmers reacting to what is happening in this trade war We have an example of what happened in the past It's a very similar situation except the farm economy at that time was much stronger than it is now We don't have any margin for error This is the part I want to talk about We're going to lose a generation of young farmers That's what you hear We're going to use We're going to lose a generation of young research scientists We're going to lose a generation of folks who want to do intelligence gathering in this country We used to be the world leader in a variety of sectors and piece by piece that is being dismantled It really is And you know the farmers are are
5:26 starting to bow up You know the American Farm Bureau is coming after Donald Trump That's crazy Farmers are not considered woke I haven't heard them define themselves that way Um also when you look at the farmers for free trade they're starting to bow up And you know most farmers do vote for Donald Trump And what gets me right as we move forward is what is that what is that generational effect not only for farmers but also for this weird thing that conspiracy theorists call globalization because guess where guess who buys the goods of farmers global countries countries in this thing called the world right and that's what farmers are talking about what happens with China our soybeans have already been destroyed you know Amy was talking about Kentucky the soybean market's destroyed right what do we do now where's the money going to be for any type of subsidies for farmers now how are you going to fund it I mean if you're defunding the IRS how you going to get monies to actually come in to actually pay for all
6:11 the subsidies for farmers Right now there's a cascading effect of stupid and stupidity is terminal right And that's that's the issue that we have right now is you have a terminal administration that thinks that stupidity is policy right And fantasy is fact And when you have people that are like that making policy choices we're in really big trouble I that's gonna be the name of this episode What Stupidity is terminal Decascading the effects of stupid So uh here's here's my here's my rub Amy that you you have this environment in which and you both have in case people are missing what you're saying you're making it very clear that the markets as we once knew them the markets as we as we currently have them are not going to be
6:59 there when all of this is over Right Right And here's why because our trading partners are now saying you are unreliable You we can't trust anymore You we actually don't want to do business with So those markets to both your points don't come back So here's the great irony Someone you ran against in 2020 Mitch McConnell put out a statement saying quote "Tariffs make it more expensive to do business in America driving up costs for consumers an average of an additional $1,200 per year Free trade is essential to Kentucky." Thought you just said that too Yeah Essential to economic success Many thousands of jobs in our biggest industries auto manufacturing bourbon
7:45 production one of my favorite levels of production and agriculture rely on America's export economy I am proud to join my colleagues in support of bipartisan legislation which would require Congress to approve any new trade policies and tariffs Yeah too late Too late Um you know and and Senator Grassley uh Ran Paul you know all these people voted for Trump and supported him and you know he said he was going to do this He said he was going to do it and I you know did they not believe him But but here's the thing It's not just trade Uh it's it's our alliances It Donald Trump is weakening America on the global
8:30 stage And Denver and I you know we both serve our country Denver and the Air Force myself and the Marine Corps we care about American power And Donald Trump is is the the value of the dollar is going down Oh my goodness Yes Anybody that understands power understands that the American dollar that gives us a lot of power and Donald Trump is responsible for that lowering for for that uh for that dollar going down Also our alliances overseas uh our security commitments to countries to our we have uh Canada is is now our our economic adversary really because because we picked on them first We picked on them We we decided to call Canada our economic enemy because it seems as though the United States is looking to bully Canada um to their knees
9:17 economically so that they've been to the will of the president Here's the thing I am actually really distraught about the the golf situation Okay I'm distraught that he was on the course Uh the the putting out the statement really burned by britches yesterday because I couldn't believe what was going on And that is on top of him skipping the dignified transfer of the four service members who died in Lithuania while on a training exercise He he he did not go to the dignified transfer Pete Hexath went um and I just remember during the Biden administration when the soldiers came back from af from Afghanistan the bodies of the service members who were killed at Abbeby Gate during the dignified transfer when they returned Uh the president checked his watch once and
10:02 literally Republicans ran ads on it There were all these people talking about the disrespect of the military What more does Donald Trump have to do to let the service members know that he don't care about them I Denver I look it it's stunning to me Look at him on the golf course Look at this I I it's hard to watch The most important thing Donald Trump had to do yesterday was what you just saw sit his behind in a golf course golf cart and ride around um while you know the the funeral procession for our servicemen and women um servicemen um took place I I don't I don't the disconnect to me and of course this is the same man who when
10:49 advised to go visit the the cemetery in France I you know I just I don't want to do that I don't want to go you know I don't like weak The the worst thing when you are a veteran you've served um overseas you know you look at Amy's 89 combat missions You look at me deploying literally 10 days after 911 when it happened I also had friends and Amy knows this too when they're actually on one of those honor flights coming back and you have flag draped coffins it's very difficult to get that out of your head Um I've had a good friend of mine um broke down a bit um after he was with 11 of them coming back uh in the late 90s um coming back on an honor flight And to have a and to have a president on
11:34 that day after a 6.6 6 trillion drop in the market after the chaos and the destruction that he wreaked on this country and then not even to have the the honor um to to be there for those troops I it's almost to the point that you're wondering what else do we have to do in this world of the same to convince other people that the president doesn't care as you said Um the other thing too you said that you know he won what the senior tour portion right It's not hard to win when you're the only person in that group right So so that's the that's the thing that you're hap that you have right You know when you cheat and you're the only person in the group it's very difficult to lose But we have troops coming home He's hitching up his drawers to hit a
12:20 freaking golf shot People need to understand that we are in a very bad time in this country when you have somebody with that lack of emotion and that lack of care for our troops to even be there when they return
