Trump waging an ECONOMIC EMBARGO war against the USA
| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
Yippee!
Trump has threatened Russia with secondary tariffs, 100% secondary tariffs on countries that do business with Russia or purchase energy from Russia.
That if Russia doesn't sign some peace agreement that Trump is demanding, and it's not even clear what the terms of that are yet because the last negotiations that I think happened in Istanbul didn't really turn up obvious solutions.
So Trump has just lashed out verbally, said in 50 days, if Russia doesn't declare peace or something or sign something, that the U.S. is going to slap 100% secondary tariffs on the countries that do business with Russia.
Okay.
So you all know what tariffs are.
That is, you know, straight tariffs, direct tariffs, like a tariff on China, would be that when China exports goods to the United States, there's a surcharge on those goods as they enter the United States before U.S. customs will release them to the marketplace.
And then those fees are paid by the Chinese manufacturers, right?
And then, of course, the prices go up in the U.S. And so ultimately, U.S. consumers end up paying a lot more for those Chinese products.
So that would be a tariff on China.
Trump cannot put a tariff on Russia because it's already illegal for anybody to import anything from Russia.
So, you know, because that's all been cut off and Russia's been cut off of the SWIFT system, etc.
So Trump wants to punish Russia more, or at least threaten to punish them.
So he's announcing secondary tariffs.
Now, so secondary tariffs means you're going to put tariffs on countries that do business with Russia.
So now you're talking about one step removed from Russia.
Now, we need to know what this means.
Which nations specifically is Trump talking about slapping 100% tariffs on?
And Lindsey Graham wants it to be 500% tariffs.
I mean, Flimsey Graham, he should just announce, let's make it a gazillion percent tariff.
I mean, it doesn't matter.
Because as you'll see, none of this is going to matter anyway.
So who buys the most energy from Russia?
Okay, let's start there.
Let's just go with, oh, I don't know.
Oh, how about this?
Let's go with the top four buyers of Russian energy.
Okay.
Who are they?
China, India, Turkey, and the European Union.
That's right, the EU.
Now, Trump already slapped 30% tariffs on the EU just in the last few days, which is very frustrating because my company was trying to purchase a very large, expensive automation machine from Italy.
This machine would have really seriously improved our efficiency and helped us keep prices down.
It would have been part of our production line in our warehouse.
And we were about ready to pull the trigger on the purchase, and then Trump announced this.
And so 30% tariff makes that machine unaffordable.
So unfortunately, we cannot purchase that machine at all because there is no such machine like that made in America.
Doesn't exist.
In fact, it's only made in Italy.
It's like the Ferrari of the warehouse.
Is Ferrari, is that, that's, that's an Italian brand, isn't it?
I think it is.
Anyway, yeah, pretty sure that is.
I don't know.
I'm not a car buff, so don't give me flack about that, please.
So Trump's tariffs just blocked us from being able to buy from Italy because it's a tariff on the EU.
Well, now Trump wants to add another 100% onto the EU, which already has 30%.
So imagine that if you're going to buy something from the EU, let's say 50 days from now, if Trump keeps his promise, you're going to pay 130% tariff plus the original price of the thing you're buying.
So if you're buying something for 100K, right, you're going to pay, what, $230,000 for that thing.
Woo.
But let's go down the list.
So China, India, Turkey, and then the EU.
So Trump's going to slap 100% tariffs on China?
Well, okay, let's start there.
Because I wish this were Tuesday, because I would love to say this is Trump Taco Tuesday.
Because you know what taco means when it comes to tariffs.
You know Trump's taco name, right?
Taco T-A-C-O.
Trump always chickens out.
I wish it were Taco Tuesday.
Unfortunately, it's Taco Wednesday, which is not nearly as much fun.
So Trump says he's going to put 100% tariffs on China because China's purchases account for about 43% of Russia's monthly exports in oil and energy.
Okay?
You got that?
43%.
So China's the number one buyer from Russia.
China is also the number one buyer of energy out of Iran.
Ah, that's important to know.
All right.
So if Trump puts 100% tariff on China, that's on top of the current tariff, which is already what?
I've lost track.
I'm pretty sure there's like a 20% surcharge because of the fentanyl issue.
And then there's another tariff on China that's like 20% or 25%.
So that's almost 50%.
And then Trump's going to put 100 on that.
So you're going to have 150% tariff from China.
Basically, that's going to end trade with China.
I mean, it's going to end exports from China.
Well, this time, I'm not going to be fooled by Trump because when he announced this stuff in, what was it, early April.
I thought he meant it.
Silly me.
And I was buying a bunch of extra Chinese-made hardware parts for my ranch.
I've got like stacks of washers and bolts and nuts and like tractor parts and stuff.
Cotter pins.
You know, I don't regret it.
I love having extra hardware, but I did buy extra pairs of shoes thinking that China was going to be totally cut off.
Turns out the shoes that I really like that fit my feet are made in China, like almost all shoes.
So I bought some extra pairs, right?
And then Trump backed off of the Chinese tariffs a few weeks later.
That's how he got the name, you know, Trump Taco Tuesday.
But now he's saying we're going to slap 100% on China again.
Well, this time I'm not going to run out and buy cotter pins and shoes.
I don't think this is going to happen.
That's my guess.
This is just another negotiation tactic.
It's another threat.
I don't think, I mean, look, even when Trump tried this in April, what happened?
What happened?
The automobile manufacturers called the White House in a panic and they said, Trump, Trump, Trump, Taco Trump.
We can't make cars, Trump.
We can't make trucks.
We need parts from China.
We need neodymium magnets.
It turns out Ford had to shut down its entire production line because it didn't have magnets from China.
So Trump had to back down.
Okay, okay.
So we'll let you buy if you're a car maker.
And it had to have all these exceptions.
And then there were exceptions to the exceptions.
And it became this total mess.
The bottom line is U.S. companies cannot function without parts from China.
And I even talked about this even in our operation.
We have, for many of our health products, we have like the screw-on tops.
We have the pump tops for the like personal care products, squeeze tubes and certain kind of special lids, like pop-open lids, little plastic lids.
To my knowledge, those are not made in the USA.
They're made in China.
Somebody did contact me and said there's somebody in California that's making some of this stuff.
I don't know all the details on that, but in terms of the whole product line, it's all made in China.
So if Trump puts 130% tariff on China, U.S. manufacturing grinds to a halt.
That's the first thing to recognize in this.
The second nation, the second most prolific purchaser of oil from Russia is India.
India is a U.S. ally.
India is a very strong trading partner with the United States.
Now, India, like China, is also a member of BRICS.
And Trump is very unhappy with BRICS nations too.
He might slap another 100% on BRICS nations.
200%.
So what does India export to the United States that would be subjected to this new 100% tariff?
Well, medical devices, face masks, sterile gloves, surgical tools, agricultural products, all kinds of spices and fruits and vegetables, rice, textiles, I'm looking this up, automotive components, engine parts, transmission components, chemicals, petrochemicals.
Also, I happen to know India exports a lot of nutritional supplements and essential oils and extracts of different plants.
Actually, India is one of the world leaders in making plant extracts like curcumin, an extract from turmeric, for example, or EGCG from green tea.
India has some of the best scientists in the world.
They have some of the best extraction technology.
India also exports machinery.
And I mentioned this the other day.
They have a whole line of so-so tractors called Mahindra.
Mahindra, yeah.
M-A-H-I-N-D-R-A.
I'm not brave enough to buy a Mahindra tractor.
It just seems too risky to me.
But some people love the value of Mahindra because it's much lower cost.
And I hear that they run.
Look, I'll tell you my bias.
I just prefer to buy tractors and heavy equipment made in Japan.
I've told you my stories about my John Deere equipment and, you know, the whole sprocket, the drive sprocket breaking off in the first 50 hours of owning a compact track loader and all the hydraulic fluid spraying out.
Look, John Deere has crap quality.
It's just the way it is.
You want quality in equipment.
You buy Kubota.
You buy Japanese engineered equipment.
It's just, I mean, everybody who actually does this knows exactly what I'm talking about.
And nobody that I know who has a farm that needs to have everything running is buying Mahindra, but maybe I'm wrong.
Maybe they're going to have a breakthrough.
Whatever.
Anyway, India is exporting a lot of Mahindra, which is bright red.
They're like fire engine painted tractors.
So you can see them very far away.
And last time I checked the Mahindra tractors, they did run.
You have to feed them a lot of oil because all their seals and gaskets don't quite line up, you know?
Exactly what you might expect from manufacturing in India.
Yeah, pretty much.
Whereas you buy something out of Japan, it's like, wow, that's precise to the micrometer, you know?
Japanese engineering, I love that.
Indian engineering, yeah, it's going to leak oil all over the place.
It's just cheaper.
All right, and then let's go to Turkey now.
So Turkey exports some interesting things to the United States.
All of these will have 100% tariffs as well.
Oh, and by the way, Mahindra, going back to India for a moment, If Mahindra tractors get 100% tariff on them, nobody will buy them because the only reason to buy Mahindra is because it's way cheaper than everything else.
If it's not cheaper, forget it.
Right?
So there goes Mahindra if Trump follows through on this.
All right, going back to Turkey.
So what does Turkey manufacture and export to the United States?
So let me say something about the Turkish culture.
So the Turkish culture is actually, they have very respectable technology and I would say above average quality control.
Not as good as Germany or Switzerland or Japan, but above average.
Definitely higher quality than India.
I'm not trying to insult India.
It just cultures are different.
I have some commentary about that coming up.
But Turkey manufactures, let's see here, industrial machinery, production equipment, agricultural products, electrical equipment, medical equipment, clothing, furniture, decorations, home and garden, automotive, transportation goods, health and beauty products, hotel and restaurant equipment.
Cars, automotive parts.
Have you ever bought a Turkey car, a Turkish car?
I have not.
I have not seen that.
Automotive parts, jewelry, and petroleum oils, etc.
That's interesting.
Turkey also does export certain nutritional items such as oregano oil.
That's right.
I just happen to know that from my industry.
And again, I have a lot of respect for the nation of Turkey.
They're also world-class leaders in unmanned aircraft, you know, drones, military drones, surveillance drones, search and rescue drones, etc.
And they have very advanced aircraft engineering.
So for us to lose access to Turkey's exports because of this 100% tariff, this is going to be a very big deal.
And then we have the EU, like I said earlier.
So, you know, the EU, all kinds of things come out of the UK and Germany, etc.
Hey, I just bought a high-end Leica range-finding binocular that also has a built-in ballistics computer for long-range shooting.
And because you know, I'm a long-range shooter.
It's a science that I really enjoy putting rounds on steel a thousand yards away or whatever.
And the Leica company out of Germany makes this just kick-ass rangefinder.
It's got all the software built in with really clear, excellent Leica glass, obviously.
I have not received them yet, but when I do, I'll probably, I don't know, I'll probably show you how they work.
I've got other kind of lower-end stuff from SIGSauer, which is more sort of consumer-grade, but these rangefinders from Leica are pretty much military grade.
They're probably not marketed that way, but it's, I mean, they'll give you range on a target that's 3,000 meters away.
How about that, huh?
3,000 meters.
That's a long-ass shot.
Longer than any shot I've made.
All right, so bottom line is what's going to be the impact if Trump and Flimsey Graham, if they keep their word and they slap this 100% tariff, secondary tariffs, on these countries that do business with Russia?
Well, U.S. consumers will lose, they will either lose access to all these products from China, from India, Turkey, and the European Union, or they will have to pay more than double the normal price for those products.
Either way, it's bad.
Either way, it's going to cause inflation.
It's going to cause supply chain chaos.
And will it hurt Russia?
No, it won't hurt Russia.
You know why?
Because China is not going to stop buying oil from Russia.
That's why.
China is going to keep buying oil from Russia.
China is not going to cave to this, nor is India.
I doubt Turkey will cave.
And the EU is starving for energy.
They don't have much of a choice.
I mean, sure, they can buy it from the UAE and they can ship it through the Strait of Hormuz until Israel starts bombing Iran again and Iran shuts the strait.
And then what are you going to do, EU?
You're going to be out of luck.
You're going to be out of energy.
You're going to beg Russia to sell you energy.
And that's going to put you on the tariff list, you see.
By the way, also Japan buys LNG from Russia.
And so does Brazil.
And Trump's already got a 50% tariff on Brazil.
Is that going to be 150% now?
The U.S. also traditionally had purchased a lot of energy, LNG, from Russia.
Is the U.S. going to put tariffs on the U.S.?
We have to pay ourselves 100% more.
So here's what will actually happen, almost certainly.
If Trump insists on pushing these tariffs, then what you're going to do, you're going to have all these oil-carrying, these tanker ships.
They're going to be registered to some little island somewhere that nobody's ever heard of.
You know, St. Croix III or whatever.
And they're going to fly the St. Croix flag.
And they're going to go to Russia.
They're going to fill up with oil.
And then they're going to sail into the Black Sea.
And then they're going to meet up with another tanker from India or whatever.
And then they're going to transfer the oil to the Indian tanker.
They're going to forge the paperwork.
And now it's Indian oil.
And then the Indian Tanker is going to sail to Turkey or whatever, and they're going to offload it in Turkey.
And yeah, there's going to be a little bit of a price increase because of the, you know, the extra cost of pumping it from one ship to another, but you're not going to stop Russian oil.
That's because the world needs energy, and the world will find ways to move oil around.
Unless you're going to have the U.S. Navy try to police every waterway in the world, which is impossible, doesn't work anymore.
You can't police the whole world like that.
So you can't stop Russia from exporting oil.
All you're going to do is actually make other people in the middle, you know, the middlemen, they're going to make a lot of money by marking up the price.
I mean, India's been doing this since 2022.
Everybody knows that.
And don't forget about all the oil tankers that are registered to Greece.
You know, Greece is famous for shipping and also forging paperwork when necessary to get the job done.
So, you know, don't put it past the Greeks to counterfeit whatever paperwork is necessary to meet the current tariff demands.
So you're not going to stop oil out of Russia.
That's number one.
Secondly, all these trading partners are already embracing BRICS and increasingly rejecting the dollar and de-emphasizing U.S. markets.
So China, India, Russia, Iran, and even to some extent Turkey and other players, they are trading with each other without using the dollar currency.
And they're developing each other's markets, increasingly ignoring the U.S. anyway.
And Trump's threats are only going to accelerate that process as more nations move away from both U.S. markets and also from U.S. currency, the dollar.
So most of the trade, for example, between China and Russia takes place in their own currencies.
They don't use the dollar.
Why would they?
I mean, they did before because the dollar was kind of a neutral world reserve currency and SWIFT was the international financial plumbing that was available to everybody, but not anymore.
So these countries are no longer using the dollar in most trades.
I think between China and Russia, far fewer than 10% of the trade is conducted in the dollar.
I think it might be only 4%, something like that.
A similar thing is happening with India.
Turkey is a little more amenable to the West for the moment because Turkey is a NATO member.
I doubt that's going to last very long, obviously.
And Japan is very subservient to the demands of the U.S. So Japan is using the dollar.
But even though Japan does what the U.S. wants it to do, Trump punishes Japan with 25% tariff, which seems completely insane.
You know?
Should take it easy on your friends.
Japan is a great friend of the United States.
Why are we treating Japan like it's 1939?
What?
What's going on?
My other prediction in this is that Trump's going to back down.
So when we approach day 50, I mean, let's do the math on this.
What is it?
It's the middle of July.
So let's say sort of, that's going to put us right near the beginning of September.
Is that about right?
So the beginning of September rolls around.
Trump's either going to delay the 50 days or he's going to back down or he's going to announce some kind of victory.
Massive victory.
We have an agreement.
And meanwhile, you notice that every time Trump has an announcement, the markets whipsaw.
That's because the people that are close to Trump are all engaged in insider trading.
They're making fortunes on the markets moving up and down.
Every time Trump says something, we're going to slap a tariff on copper.
What happens to the copper market?
Skyrockets, right?
You think they didn't front load that with a bunch of futures options on copper?
Of course they did.
Come on.
And then, you know, a month later, Trump will say, well, we're dropping the tariff on copper.
And then copper prices will plummet.
And then guess who benefits?
Oh, all the people who had sold futures on copper.
You know, I mean, this is massive insider trading taking place right now.
Massive scale.
It's abundantly clear.
So Trump's announcements, I think, are more designed to enrich his own family and his associates by pretending that these tariffs are coming into play.
I'm talking about the 100% tariffs.
I don't think he's going to actually do that.
In fact, I'm certain he's not.
I'm so certain I'm not buying another pair of shoes from China.
I'm not buying more tractor parts.
I don't think he's going to follow through on this.
Not this time.
You know, fool me once, shame on you.
Fool me twice, shame on me.
I'm not falling for it.
I don't think this is going to happen at all.
And it's extraordinary to me that Trump and Lutnick, who else is involved in all this, Witcoff and others, they're still stuck in like 1985 or something.
They think the U.S. is the manufacturing hub of the world and that we don't need parts from any other countries in order to build things in America.
They have no idea.
I mean, that would have been true in 1985 for the most part.
Not today.
Not even.
Don't even think about it.
Like I said, I need a piece of equipment from Italy.
Can't get it now.
There are other times I need circuit board replacement from Taiwan on some other equipment.
You know, I don't want to be paying 100% tariff on things from Taiwan.
I buy food and essential oils and nutritional raw materials from all these countries, you know, India and Turkey.
I buy goji berries from China, the high elevation Himalayas, right?
That's where the goji berries come from.
I buy all kinds of things from Japan.
And if you buy from us, you're getting the world's best high-density nutrition, you know, from all over the planet.
Wherever we source it from, it's the best place to get that.
And we do the lab testing, et cetera.
But Trump is going to make our business very difficult to function because one day, you know, you're going to log into HealthRangerStore.com.
You're going to be like, whoa, why is this essential oil double price?
Oh, well, that's Trump's tariffs on Turkey, let's say, whatever.
So he's going to destroy supply chains and he's going to gut American businesses and manufacturers, almost none of which can make anything entirely based on U.S. sourced products.
You know, even the knife company that we work with, Dawson Knives, they operate out of Arizona.
And yeah, they make knives in Arizona, but they got to get the powdered steel, MagnaCut in particular.
Well, the MagnaCut powdered steel, which is an incredible space age, you know, technology corrosion resistance on top of high rockwell hardness.
And, you know, it's an amazing metal for knives and blades and hatchets and machetes and so on and even kitchen knives.
You can no longer get it in America.
It comes out of the EU now because the Syracuse, New York steel company got bought out by this European company and then that company moved the MagnaCut out of New York.
So that's why the prices on the MagnaCut knives is going up 80%.
Remember that?
And that's before Trump's tariffs.
So if Trump is going to slap another 100% on that, well, that means that a knife is going to go up 180% if it's made out of MagnaCut.
Think about that.
If you were paying $300 for a quality knife before, thanks to Trump, you're going to be paying $900.
Or more than likely, you just won't buy it because you're like, I'm not paying $900 for a knife.
Yeah.
See?
That's what's going to happen all over the U.S. economy.
People are going to say, I'm just not, I just can't justify paying that.
So there you go.
Now, why are the supply chains global?
Why?
Let me read you a tweet I put out here that was pretty well received.
Here it is.
I recently heard Jim Rickards say that comparative advantage in the context of international economics is not a real thing.
He says that any country is just as good as making anything as any other country.
Although brilliant on many topics, Rickards is wrong on this one.
If his statement were true, I would be buying avocados from Canada instead of Mexico.
And nobody would bother trying to do business with African nations in order to acquire rare minerals.
If comparative advantage weren't real, then automobiles made in America would have the same quality and longevity as automobiles made in Japan.
But they don't.
Culture matters.
You can move a factory to a different nation, but you can't move a work ethic or attention to detail to another nation.
That's why I buy laboratory microscopes made in Japan.
It's why I buy high-end rangefinder binoculars made in Germany.
America can never make them nearly as well, nor can Mexico or Vietnam for that matter.
When you want Japanese engineering or Swiss accuracy or German engineering, you buy from Japan, Switzerland, or Germany.
Everybody seems to know that except Trump, who thinks everything can be made in America just the same.
He's wrong.
So is Rickards.
America is good at manufacturing debt, GMOs, pesticides, entertainment films, and processed junk food, but little else.
Boeing can't even make airplanes that don't fall out of the sky on a regular basis.
They are good, however, at making things that explode.
From time to time, some of those explosions are even intentional in the form of bombs.
The culture of quality and detail is about two generations long gone in the USA, for the most part.
Heavy drug addiction, processed junk foods, widespread pharmaceutical use have turned America's workforce into a festival of obese chemical junkies who have few skills, very little productivity, and an attitude of privilege that precludes them from being manageable in any environment requiring actual labor.
This is why Amazon is rushing to replace every last one of them with robots, by the way.
So, yeah, it sounds pretty harsh, but it's true.
It's true.
You can't just take a factory and put it in America and get the same quality that you would get out of Japan or Germany or, you know, these other countries, like I said.
You can't just start mining minerals everywhere.
You can't start growing tropical fruit everywhere.
Different countries are better at making different things.
I don't know why Jim Rickards would say that's not true.
He should know basic economics.
I mean, it's a fundamental economic truism, comparative advantage.
Some countries are better at making things than other countries.
Trump thinks that if he punishes these other nations enough, that people will set up factories in America and they'll make everything in America.
And it just doesn't work that way.
It doesn't work that way.
It might have been possible in the 1950s or even the 1970s, but not today.
Not a chance.
Most Americans don't even want to work at all.
I mean, even the white-collar workers refuse to show up in any office.
Ever since COVID, they just want to remote work, which means I want to stay home and not work, but collect a paycheck, for the most part.
Right?
You know what I'm talking about.
And have you ever tried to hire labor in America?
You know, if you dare run a criminal background check on your applicants, they're all felons with drug abuse problems.
I mean, it's unbelievable.
I mean, it's so interesting.
You ask a typical American, like, do you want to buy Made in America?
And they're like, yes, made in America.
And then you ask them, do you want to work in a factory in America?
Oh, God, no.
We don't work in factories in America.
Well, how do you suppose it's going to be made in America if nobody's working in the factories in America?
Oh, well, you didn't think about that one.
Yeah, of course you didn't.
You can't buy everything made in America if nobody's willing to work in factories in America.
And the factories don't exist and the supply chains don't exist and the infrastructure doesn't exist and the rare earth minerals don't exist in America, etc.
And, you know, even that announcement, they announced Wyoming is going to open up a rare earth mining facility where they're going to extract rare earths out of coal, by the way.
Do you have any idea how much coal you have to process in order to get like one gram of neodymium?
You have any idea?
I'm just guessing, but it might be a thousand tons of coal.
I don't know to get one gram.
I mean, that's just a guess.
I don't know the actual ratio.
It depends on the mine.
It depends on the extraction methods, etc.
But you're not going to be cranking out, you know, metric tons of rare earths.
You're going to have like grams of rare earths.
Like today we have, you know, 15 grams of, you know, whatever, whatever rare earth you need.
Yeah, tomorrow, man, we hope to produce 12 grams.
Great.
You know, by the year 2030, you could fill a bucket.
That's awesome.
You know, and then economically illiterate people, sometimes part of the administration is like, this is how we're going to compete with China.
You know, we're going to have our own rare earths.
Not at that scale.
You're not.
I mean, you're not making a dent in the demand.
Not even a dent.
It's incredible.
Yeah, elements matter.
Yeah.
Double meaning.
Elements matter.
Okay.
Enough of the nerd jokes.
But, you know, you can just, you can imagine people in the Trump administration.
Why can't we just take, you know, nickel and tell the nickel to self-identify as neodymium?
We just, we just take nickel and we just tell it, you're neodymium now.
Because they both start with N. Does that work?
You know?
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
These people failed high school physics.
Not to mention college economics.
What are we going to do?
So if you bring up the table of elements, the chart, do you know why there are different columns and different rows?
Because each element is different, it turns out.
Imagine, imagine that.
Each element is actually different.
And that means they behave differently, they have different properties, different chemistry, different atomic masses, different levels of stability or instability, etc.
So that's my report on the 50-day threat of 100% tariffs on all these countries that buy energy from Russia.
I think Trump is going to cave.
I think we're going to have Trump Taco Tuesday coming up here by early September or sooner.
And I think that Trump and his crew have no idea how U.S. manufacturing actually functions.
They are absolutely clueless.
And that's why car manufacturers call the White House in a panic and say, you just cut off our supply chain.
You do realize, Trump, we can't make cars in America without these metals from China, right?
You do realize that.
You know, you can imagine Trump's people like, no, we had no idea.
We thought it's all made in America.
No, Ford has to educate them.
When we say, quote, made in America, what we mean is we buy all the parts from China and Vietnam and Turkey and all these other.
And then we bring those parts to America.
And then we hire American workers, the ones that aren't on meth, to assemble them.
We put them together in America.
That's called made in America, Mr. Trump.
That's how that works.
You know, Trump's people are like, are you serious?
Like, they don't even know this.
They have no idea how things are made in America.
You got to get parts from the whole world.
I mean, the bottom line in this is that, you know, how in World War II, the U.S. Navy embargoed the nation of Japan, had an energy embargo on Japan?
Like, no oil for you, no soup for you, right?
Today, Trump, he's issuing an embargo against his own country, a trade embargo.
It's like, no parts for America.
Oh, are you at war with America?
Because we did that in World War II to punish Japan, right?
Now you're punishing us.
It's an embargo against America.
No supply chain for you.
Okay, that's going to get really interesting.
I'm actually very interested to see how that goes.
How long it lasts before Trump caves?
Because Trump is the taco.
He is the taco man.
It's Orange Taco Tuesday.
Trump is going to cave.
He's going to chicken out.
Mark my words.
Because U.S. manufacturing cannot function Without a global supply chain, period.
Period.
If Trump doesn't know it yet, he's going to learn.
Because he's going to hear it from every major corporation that manufactures anything in this country.
So my guess is that will happen before the first week of September.
We'll see.
But thanks for listening.

And we've got a new batch of turmeric in stock now.
After a long search, the supply chains are really becoming more difficult.
And turmeric, as you know, is often contaminated with lead.

We found an ultra-clean batch and we have it available for you now.
I have it on my desk.
We've got turmeric root powder, certified organic laboratory tested, identity confirmed, all that.
E. coli tested, microbiology, you name it.

We do not have turmeric tincture back in stock.
We're working on that, but we do have the turmeric root powder.
And as you know, I, of course, I include turmeric root powder in my own smoothie, which is why it's orange.

And it's got a multitude of uses and benefits and support mechanisms for human health.
Athletes use it.
Lots of people use it.

And it's believed to help support the natural athleticism and the endurance and stamina of salmon.
That's just one of the many benefits of the king of carotenoids.
