Transcript
00:00The Press on the tariff issue, so you've talked about India coming, but then a couple days ago you issued a new tariff spread to members of the BRICS countries for, if they aligned with anti-American policies, that would be India, Brazil, that's right, they have to pay 10 percent, if they're in BRICS, because BRICS was set up to hurt us.
00:22BRICS was set up to degenerate our dollar and take our dollar as the standard, take it off as the standard.
00:30And that's okay if they want to play that game, but I can play that game too.
00:33So anybody that's in BRICS is getting a 10 percent charge.
00:36Is that immediate, sir? Or is that if they engage in some behavior?
00:40Well, if they're a member of BRICS, they're going to have to pay 10 percent tariff, just for that one thing. And they won't be a member alone.
00:47I thought BRICS was, you know, I said this about a year ago, and it largely broke up.
00:53But, you know, there are a couple that hang around, but I thought it largely broke up.
00:58BRICS is not, in my opinion, not a serious threat. But what they're trying to do is destroy the dollar so that another country can take over and be the standard.
01:07And we're not going to lose the standard at any time. If you have a smart president, you will never lose the standard.
01:13If you have a stupid president, like the last one, you would lose the standard.
01:17You wouldn't have the dollar as you. And if we lost the world standard dollar, that would be like losing a war, a major world war.
01:28We would not be the same country any longer. We're not going to let that happen.
01:32The dollar, you ever hear the expression, dollar is king? The dollar is king. We're going to keep it that way, okay?
01:38I'm just saying, if people want to challenge it, they can, but they're going to have to pay a big price.
01:45And I don't think any of them are willing to pay that price.
01:48It's going to stay in the same way.
01:49Since I thought it was a very negative sign that's not having that storm because it's a big deal, it's worth apit.
01:59I don't know, But the soldiers have to go all right, but the ones are really likely to fear.
02:04But the Civil War is right...
02:06The presser is warned!
