Full Episode
Welcome to The Megyn Kelly Show, live on Sirius XM Channel 111 every weekday at noon east. Hey everyone, I'm Megyn Kelly. Welcome to The Megyn Kelly Show. Is everyone nursing their Liberation Day hangover? I just, okay. There's going to be a bunch of tariffs. Pretty much everyone is against it.
There's a strain of diehard MAGA that is open-minded to doing something in a different way because while the system has worked well for the top 1%, it hasn't been working that great for the folks in the Rust Belt. I, for one, say we give President Trump a chance.
There's no way he's going to let a bunch of economic pain rain down on the country for the next three and a half years without doing anything about it. He's talking about short-term pain for long-term gain. We got the full announcement last night from Donald Trump about his new tariff plan.
It's basically 10 percent across the board for all countries and higher on top of that, depending on whether you're tariffing us or if there's some sort of trade deficit between our country and yours, even without tariffs that we find unfair.
Like there are certain regulations, for example, in Japan that make it virtually impossible for us to sell certain cars there because we will never pass the regulations. Is that fair? Is it hard to get a Japanese car in America?
So Trump is jacking up tariffs on Japan, not necessarily based on their tariffs, but based on a trade deficit because of regulations they've put in place that make it impossible for us to compete over there in the way they can here. That's what he's trying to rectify. The defenders of the free trade world say, yes, all of that sounds good on paper. The unfairness is a very easy argument to make.
But net net, we're still the strongest economy in the world because of our free trade. We actually don't make a lot of things domestically and won't start to just because of this plan. And that this is going to cause what's called stagflation, where inflation goes up and the economy slows. And eventually we could see job losses. They're predicting all doom and gloom.
Why don't we give them a chance? Why don't we see how this changes things? Because over the last 25 years, our manufacturing industry has been gutted. It's been sliced in half. In half. You know, I heard Adam Carolla talking about this the other day, and it was a good point. He said, as you know, half of L.A. burned. And he was like, you know who's out rebuilding it? Men.
Men in excavators and dump trucks with bulldozers and shovels and bricklayers. Men like that are going to rebuild the Palisades. Men who nobody in the Palisades probably gives two shits about. That's the truth.
