| Hi, this is Dr. this is Dr. Steve Pachanek and this is Steve Talks. | |
| Hi, I'm Dr. Pachanek. | |
| Pichetti. | |
| Today I'd like to talk about Trump and certain things that are happening with Trump and presumably against Trump. | |
| Let me talk about the first thing Trump is going to do tomorrow on July 9th. | |
| he's going to announce who the Supreme Court justice is going to be. | |
| Tonight, it is my honor and privilege to announce that I will nominate Judge Brett Kavanaugh to the United States Supreme Court. | |
| Thank you. | |
| Judge Kavanaugh has impeccable credentials, unsurpassed qualifications and a proven commitment to equal justice under the law. | |
| A graduate of Yale College and Yale Law School, Judge Kavanaugh currently teaches at Harvard, Yale and Georgetown. | |
| Throughout legal circles, he is considered a judge's judge, a true thought leader among his peers. | |
| He's a brilliant jurist with a clear and effective writing style universally regarded as one of the finest and sharpest legal minds of our time. | |
| And just like Justice Gorsuch, he excelled as a clerk for Justice Kennedy. | |
| That's great. | |
| Thank you. | |
| Thank you. | |
| President, thank you. | |
| Mr. | |
| President, I am grateful to you. | |
| And I'm humbled by your confidence in me. | |
| Thank you. | |
| Thirty years ago, President Reagan nominated Anthony Kennedy to the Supreme Court. | |
| The framers established that the Constitution is designed to secure the blessings of liberty. | |
| Justice Kennedy devoted his career to securing liberty. | |
| I am deeply honored to be nominated to fill his seat on the Supreme Court. | |
| If confirmed by the Senate, I will keep an open mind in every case. | |
| And I will always strive to preserve the Constitution of the United States in the American rule of law. | |
| Thank you, Mr. | |
| President. | |
| Now to a second point. | |
| Trump has said that Harley-Davidson, the famous motorcycle maker, are leaving the United States. | |
| The entire 7 billion corporation wants to leave because of Trump's increase in taxes and tariffs on aluminum and steel. | |
| What Harley-Davidson hasn't said and didn't say anything about in their history is the fact that under the Reagan administration, when I was there, they had pled and begged Reagan to increase the tariff on Japanese motorcycles coming into the United States from 4% to 44%. | |
| Now, that was not just a slight suggestion. | |
| That was a major issue for Harley-Davidson. | |
| At the same time, within a few years, they went into bankruptcy and major economic failure, not because of a tariff, but because they were not competent to handle the financial sheets, the balance sheets and the production capacity for Harley-Davidson. | |
| And what happened? | |
| Over a period between 2000 and 2009, they asked for 33 different federal grants in order to sustain their financial accountability in the markets. | |
| Not only did they have a tariff to protect them, but they also had over $2.2 billion In American funding in order to preserve Harley-Davidson. | |
| As a result of all of this welfare that we, the American taxpayer, paid Harley-Davidson, the present CEO is only making $8.9 million. | |
| The present vice CEO or the vice president there is only making $2.9 million. | |
| As well as the other members of Harley-Davidson. | |
| So we have a welfare company which never paid back the $2 billion as well as all of the 33 grants that we, the United States government, gave them in order to preserve them. | |
| So let them get out and they will go under again. | |
| A third element. | |
| Trump is going to be meeting Putin. | |
| And many people are saying, you know, Putin will take advantage of Trump and this is going to be a giveaway of some sort. | |
| I don't agree. | |
| Again, I go back to a very simple issue that occurred in 2018 in February when under Trump over 500 Russian mercenaries were killed. | |
| Because they were attacking our Delta and our special forces in Syria. | |
| The key issue for Trump now is to allow Putin to solve the problem in Syria with Israel, Iran, and Russia. | |
| And that can be solved very quickly by Putin. | |
| Let me quote Trump. | |
| He says, if you're going to fight, fight tough, fight hard, and fight angry. | |
| And that's what I believe. |
