And we're going to talk about tariff, surprised. So even people who don't have stocks and they don't have any skin in the game, they're starting to get a little nervous. And those of us who are invested in our capitalist system, painful. It is. Because it's uncertain. We don't know. We have no control over it. We work

hard for our money, we trust the system somewhat, we put our money into companies, we feel are going to be prosperous, and then we see the tariff war, which we didn't know was even going to happen, bang us out of nowhere, and you're like shell shop. Even somebody like me who's seen it all, you know, it's annoying. Now, the first thing to do when you're annoyed is you blame somebody. Well, it's Trump. He did it. And Trump did it. Nobody else, farmers didn't do it. There's nobody inside the Trump administration who could possibly have done it. J.D. Vance didn't do it. He is a true believer. He believes that he is going to win the tariff war and bring a whole new level of prosperity to this country. That's what he believes. He's putting his

entire legacy on the line for that. Now, if you watch my daily TV broadcasts, the NOSPN News, I get involved with that. I'm not going to do that here because this analysis is more general, and I pick up things that other people might not want to pick up. But I just want to tell you two things. If you are apprehensive about the stock market, that's natural. I think it's going to work out, but I don't know. That's just my feeling that when we saw the EU come in and say, you know, maybe we don't need any tariffs on Monday. That is a good thing, right?

Now, will they carry through? I don't know. You always take the good news, a little bit of, good news to push forward. I think it'll work out. If I thought we're going into a depression and stocks are going to fall off the cliff, I tell you, that's what I do, that's why I'm successful. I don't care about political parties. I'm going to tell you what I believe is happening and why. I think. But again, it's not in stone. So there was a lot of chatter on the foolish television networks, and they're all foolish to some degree. There really are.

But on Fox News, who is a person, I don't know her, Baria Ungar Sargon, she is a writer for the free press, which is an internet media company. I've checked it, and it doesn't look like it's ideological like most of these internet things are. It just looks like they have a bunch of smart people, they do, doing analysis. But when I heard Ms. Sargon say something, it caught my attention. Roll the tape. It's not just the destruction of the economic vitality of the working class, but there has been a spiritual decimation that has come along with that. A crisis in masculinity because we shipped jobs that gave men who work with their hands for a living

and rely on brawn and physicality off to other countries to build up their middle class. class, and then we imported millions and millions of illegals to work in construction, to work in, yes, manufacturing what's left here, to work in landscaping, to work in janitorial services, to work in a whole bunch of jobs that used to give men access to the American dream. Well, here's why that's kind of loopy, all right, what she just said. So she's saying that there is an attack on masculinity caused by outside forces in the United States. But the companies that moved abroad taking manufacturing jobs, the government or society, we can't stop them. This is a free country. So if you're making stuff and you can make it for 50% less in El Salvador, you ship down there.

Trump and the government can't go, you can't. All I can do is put tariffs on, which is what they're doing. But it's not like a design to say, hey, we're going to take all the work away from the men, you know, the handwork, the strong work. Who's we? These are individual decision. That's number one. Okay. Number two, importing, we don't import workers. We allow them to work here if industries need the work. So there is no doubt that American men do not want to do farm work, generally speaking. They don't. So, migrant labor is needed. And the same thing in a lot of other jobs, Americans don't want them. They're low paying, they're hard, backbreaking, hot, whatever it may be. If you are an articulate person and you go into a landscaping company on Long Island where

I live, and you go, hey, Larry, I'd like to work for you for $25 an hour or whatever, I'm fairly articulate and smart. I'll do a good job. And I like the labor. You're going to get hired in two seconds. Two seconds. Okay, when can you start? We want you. So it's not like back door. Let's get everybody from Honduras in here illegal. That's not what happened. What happened was that President Biden, for reasons that are still unknown, said, I'm not stopping anybody. You all come. Why? Why did you do that? Created unbelievable chaos, crime, fiscal irresponsibility. And there's Biden. Never, never did he give an answer? But it wasn't like Congress said, yeah, okay, let's get all these people in here. The Democrats didn't

oppose it, of course, because they want to be noble. They want a virtue signal. But what that woman on Fox, Argon, was basically implying is this is all a big design to drive down masculinity in America. Look, when I hear stuff like that, it's not ideological. It's like, no. Masculinity in America is not what it used to be. I think everybody knows that. But what it used to be, but what it used to be was so great. Okay, a lot of violence attached to it, a lot of unfairness attached to it, this rampant masculinity. It was. Let's tell the truth. And now it's been overcompensated. Now, you know, little boys who should be allowed to run around and play guns and cowboys and Indians and everything like that now they're now that's wrong now you're downgrading masculinity because you're a fool

but it's not by design i raise my son to be a man and i know what it takes and i pass it along and thank god and i mean that literally the boy is now a young man and he has You know, he's going to do great things in this life. And he understands the virtues of masculinity. We're plenty of them. It's a song by the Four Tops, The Keeper of the Castle. If you've never heard, there was a minor hit for them. Great group, by the way.

Love the Four Tops. Keeper of the Castle, listen to it. That just nails what masculinity is all about. It had nothing to do with the government or this kind of conspiratorial. Oh, they brought these people in and they took these jobs out. Like, that's not what it was about. And if you are really a man, there are rules for that road. Okay?

There are. And I just, I actually listened to that song last night, keeper of the castle by the four tops and they really nailed it so anyway i thought you'd find that a little bit interesting that uh the tariffs are now uh being tied to masculinity i know when i heard it i went wow that's pretty interesting but no that's not what's happening
