Full Episode
The markets absolutely crashed on Friday. Once again, the Dow was down 2200 points, the S&P down 322 points, the Nasdaq down 962 points. And of course, this follows another horrific day. On Thursday, Donald Trump sent his
uh propagandist from the his regime out on fox to give these very bizarre statements after the fact like his labor secretary lori chavez dreamer former congresswoman she says what the goal of all of this is is to try to bring the kind of manufacturing jobs that exist in vietnam and cambodia and she says that americans are going to be working those jobs very soon here play this clip
Just to take one example, I was hearing about companies that make shirts and garments in Vietnam and Cambodia, that it's very difficult. There are certain things that we can ramp up fairly quickly, as I said a moment ago about car manufacturers and lines that they can kind of kick open fairly quickly.
But will American workers make shirts and garments for the same... Obviously, the labor cost is so much cheaper overseas in those places. So how's that going to work, Secretary?
Well, I think that that's exactly what the president talked about in the Rose Garden when he was talking to the American worker and to the people and saying, we're going to onshore repatriate some of these companies to invest in America directly so that we can build that workforce, we can retrain, we can upskill, and we can have the American worker be paying attention to what's happening on the ground.
They want to make America like Cambodia and Vietnam. That's part of the plan. Also, you see the stock ticker there showing 38,000. Just a few weeks ago, it was 44,000, 45,000, heading to 50,000. Here's, by the way, Senator Sheehy of Montana talking about, again, it's going to be a lot of pain, but it's going to teach us all to be self-sufficient.
And Americans need to learn how to become self-sufficient. We're too reliant on world economies. Here, play this clip.
How is that going to impact our access to those things, Senator? It's certainly going to have a negative impact shortly, but the reality is, Martha, this is because generations of us incentivizing companies to invest elsewhere. And that's exactly what the president is trying to do, is bring critical industries back to America.
Because when we have our next national emergency, whether it's a world war or whether it's another pandemic, we have to be able to be safe.
