Transcript
- 0:02Speaker 1: Here's your host, Alex Garrett. All right, well, all this
- 0:07Speaker 1: talk about tariff pauses and I gotta say, is it
- 0:10Speaker 1: possible here on the One Leg Up Network that these
- 0:13Speaker 1: pauses have helped the One Leg Up Network stock rise.
- 0:18Speaker 1: I don't know if you saw my X feed, but
- 0:21Speaker 1: Alex jnsc one, but yeah, I checked my My portfolio
- 0:26Speaker 1: is how many plays I get in a day? To
- 0:27Speaker 1: be honest, that's my stock portfolio. How's the stock of
- 0:30Speaker 1: the podcast doing? Well? It jumped by two hundred and
- 0:33Speaker 1: fifty four plays. So did these tariff pauses and the
- 0:36Speaker 1: ninety day pause on most ten percent reciprocal tariffs help
- 0:42Speaker 1: my podcast out? I never knew if there were tariffs
- 0:45Speaker 1: on this podcast because I guess my tariff will be
- 0:47Speaker 1: the ads you listened to before the podcast begins. But hey,
- 0:52Speaker 1: if the tariff pauses can help this stock rise, all
- 0:55Speaker 1: for it. And look, while the Dow en six hundred
- 0:58Speaker 1: points above. And while I'm happy Trump paused the tariffs
- 1:05Speaker 1: except on China, because I do think when China starts
- 1:09Speaker 1: wanting to take our lands away, which is a true story,
- 1:11Speaker 1: when they start wanting to meddle with our enemies, and
- 1:20Speaker 1: yet we let them go and literally everything says made
- 1:23Speaker 1: in China, So why not tax all those exports and imports.
- 1:28Speaker 1: I'm all for that. One hundred and forty five percent
- 1:30Speaker 1: might be a little wild, but it's the tariffs against
- 1:34Speaker 1: penguins and islands that are not even really occupied that
- 1:40Speaker 1: bother me. I mean, I get you're trying to make
- 1:43Speaker 1: a point, President Trump, I really do, but the tariffs
- 1:49Speaker 1: on everything, including islands of penguins, is not the right move.
- 1:59Speaker 1: I think the tar tariffs on our allies is also
- 2:03Speaker 1: what helped the markets go crazy this week because everyondey's like,
- 2:06Speaker 1: oh my god, he's taxing our allies. Well, look, we
- 2:10Speaker 1: do want a fair share and we do need more
- 2:12Speaker 1: American made products. We do, and if tariffs help make
- 2:17Speaker 1: that happen, so be it. But not this way, not
- 2:21Speaker 1: in the way that makes everything fluctuate and then defluctuate
- 2:25Speaker 1: and then get back to normal. And now and on
- 2:28Speaker 1: a high note, six hundred points after a record rally Wednesday,
- 2:32Speaker 1: can the media stop misreporting to cause these out of
- 2:37Speaker 1: your saw this earlier in the week, but the DC Examiner,
- 2:39Speaker 1: who I really trust a lot for everything, said that
- 2:43Speaker 1: CNBC propagated this fake news about ninety day tariff fake
- 2:50Speaker 1: news earlier on the week the White House sets according
- 2:53Speaker 1: to and this was on Monday. According to DC examiners
- 2:57Speaker 1: said at the time, there was not a ninety pause
- 3:00Speaker 1: on the table on as sweeping tariff policy, despite an
- 3:03Speaker 1: erroneous report amplified by CNBC claiming it was open to
- 3:08Speaker 1: doing so. I guess Kevin Hasset said yes, we're open
- 3:11Speaker 1: to it, and CNBC ran with it. White House had
- 3:13Speaker 1: to reel it back. But the point is, if we're
- 3:16Speaker 1: letting the media dictate how the stock markets reacting, we're
- 3:20Speaker 1: in trouble. They're supposed to just report the news, not
- 3:24Speaker 1: with the slant, not with anything else. So I do
- 3:28Speaker 1: believe Monday's craziness was because of that one report that
- 3:33Speaker 1: wasn't true. Now, of course Trump did end up pausing
- 3:36Speaker 1: it a few days later, but we got to take
- 3:38Speaker 1: this day by day. This is Trump time, This is
- 3:41Speaker 1: not CNBC time, CNN time. You could do all the
- 3:45Speaker 1: town halls in the world. By the way, what is
- 3:47Speaker 1: that with the dem congressman saying she didn't want to
- 3:49Speaker 1: vote for Lake and Raleigh's law in her name? I mean,
- 3:54Speaker 1: shouldn't we want violent illegals off the streets, I digress,
- 3:57Speaker 1: these town halls, these back and forth on these networks,
- 4:01Speaker 1: I don't listen to anymore. I tune them out because
- 4:03Speaker 1: of this. It causes chaos and causes lined up cameras
- 4:10Speaker 1: outside the Stock Exchange wondering what's happening next. But we
- 4:14Speaker 1: are now officially on Trump time, So we got to
- 4:16Speaker 1: take this day by day, minute by minute and not speculate, because,
- 4:20Speaker 1: as you saw, speculation cause the volatility not so much.
- 4:25Speaker 1: I believe Trump's tariffs in the long run. So I'm
- 4:29Speaker 1: just happy because the day of the pauses announcing my
- 4:32Speaker 1: podcast gets a rally of two hundred and fifty four
- 4:34Speaker 1: plays in a day, with more to come and some
- 4:37Speaker 1: more news to break as we go along with regard
- 4:40Speaker 1: to this podcast, as I've been accepted to what they
- 4:44Speaker 1: call the Idea Spark, which is a program in partnership
- 4:50Speaker 1: with Ioni University and my alma man at the Ascarti Center.
- 4:53Speaker 1: So stock is rising with this podcast. I hope you
- 4:56Speaker 1: keep listening, and I'm so thankful that you do two
- 4:59Speaker 1: hundred and fifty four plays. Onward, let's get to five
- 5:02Speaker 1: hundred a day. I would love that. I don't know
- 5:05Speaker 1: if I have a reward for you, but maybe y'll
- 5:06Speaker 1: think about it. Let's get the five hundred plays a
- 5:08Speaker 1: day first, and let's stop speculating before it causes the
- 5:11Speaker 1: markets to go in chaos. At the end of the day.
- 5:15Speaker 1: He put the pause on for ninety days except on China,
- 5:18Speaker 1: and I like that. And then the markets end. Fine.
- 5:22Speaker 1: It's Friday afternoon. Markets are up. That's all you gotta know,
- 5:26Speaker 1: and we're gonna keep this ship going, right. I think
- 5:29Speaker 1: so here in the United States of America, I do
- 5:33Speaker 1: want to see things made back home again. I do
- 5:36Speaker 1: want to see, you know, more production here and if
- 5:40Speaker 1: it forces that even better. We need more American made things.
- 5:44Speaker 1: And maybe we'll get some on some folks on who
- 5:46Speaker 1: make American products right here in our country, because that's
- 5:49Speaker 1: who we got to promote, not so much the main
- 5:51Speaker 1: in China stuff. If you get my drift here on
- 5:54Speaker 1: the one Look Up network, maybe these pauses are truly helping,
- 5:57Speaker 1: and maybe these tariffs at the end of the day
- 5:59Speaker 1: will help them have one leg up on everyone else,
- 6:02Speaker 1: and that we want as Americans. I think, so, have
- 6:05Speaker 1: a great Friday and enjoy your weekend.
