| 0:00.0 | Mark Simone on 710 W.WOR. |
| 0:05.9 | Well, Steve Moore, one of the great, great economist thinkers, brilliant columnist, and he runs the committee to unleash prosperity. |
| 0:16.0 | Now, they put out the best daily briefing of issues, analysis. You want to sound really smart. |
| 0:22.1 | Sign up for it. It'll come free to your email every morning. Just go to Unleashprosperity.com. Also, get his books. |
| 0:28.3 | The latest book is the Trump Economic Miracle. Steve Moore, how you doing? |
| 0:34.1 | Well, I'm doing pretty well, Mark. I guess the big, has Trump done his press conference yet? |
| 0:40.0 | I know he's supposed to announce this new trade deal with Britain, but I haven't heard the details yet. |
| 0:45.2 | Oh, it's supposed to be this morning, the UK deal. |
| 0:48.3 | You know, when they say, oh, it could take four or five years or three years to do a trade deal, |
| 0:52.5 | they said the same thing with the vaccine. |
| 0:54.5 | You could do these quickly, can't't you that's a great point that's a really good point so uh that's an |
| 1:01.5 | excellent point i'm going to steal that line from you um you're right i remember when they said it |
| 1:06.2 | would take the new york times front page take four to five years to get a vaccine and trumped it in nine |
| 1:10.5 | months um so uh i think this could be a real breakthrough, though, Mark. I don't know the details, but if it's as big as Trump is saying it is, then that's spectacular because it means other countries that are going to line up. I mean, I bet that the switchboard at the White House is to lighten up right now. Yeah. We want a deal. We want a deal. Well, but let me ask you a question. As he started, they had this crazy formula. They mixed in with the tariffs, the trade deficit, the this deficit. It was too. Yeah, I didn't like that. Well, let's say he gets in there and they just say, look, forget all that. Just drop your tariffs. We'll drop our tariffs. Can you just be that simple and that's it? I hope so. I mean, that would be the right solution. Let's both, it's like, you know, it's a day top. Remember day time? Yeah. You know, the missile chase. You know, we'll lower ours if you lower yours i think that would be a |
| 2:02.0 | fantastic thing and then in the end of the day then because you know me i'm a free trade guy i'm not |
| 2:06.5 | a big fan of terrorists but if trump succeeds you're talking about lower terrorists for everybody so |
| 2:11.2 | it makes everyone better off and not just you know american workers but the people in these countries that don't have access to these products because of the high taxes, their own country is imposed. |
| 2:22.9 | Yeah. |
| 2:23.3 | And if they get a deal with the UK that's pretty good, simple, clean, can't they just use that as a boilerplate? |
| 2:29.9 | Every country just take the same deal? |
| 2:32.9 | Well, again, I want to see what the deal is, but if it's the deal that you and I are hoping it is, then yeah. I mean, then he's just to say, look, we did this with the Brits. Where are you, Canada? Where are you, Mexico? Where are you? Mexico? Where are you? Korea. And I like that. It could be like the boilerplate. and then, of course, the one country that we're going to be really tough on is China, |
| 2:52.9 | but I think everybody agrees China is in a separate category. |
