Trump threatens 100% tariffs on
foreignade movies. Okay. Foreignmade
movies. Here's CNN talking about the
story. Go ahead, Rob.
Now taking on the film industry in a new
way. In a social media post just moments
ago, he wrote that he will be imposing a
100% tariff on, as he put it, any and
all movies made outside of the US. He
also said California has been hit hard
by movie productions moving outside the
United States. And you, this may sound
familiar. He did start threatening this
back in May. It seems that he's now
moving towards it and for years
filmmakers have been leaving Hollywood
for destinations outside the US
including UK and Canada in order to
lower costs. Several big movies of
recent were produc produced by US
studios shot outside of America
including Deadpool and Wolverine,
Wicked, Gladiator 2. Thing about it is
the president did not say when or how
the tariffs would happen. So stand by to
stand by on that.
Stand by standby to stand by on standby.
Uh, President Donald Trump said in the
truth social post on Mike Brown, okay,
good idea, bad idea, Tom, what's going
on here? You look happier, but what a
good or a bad idea about what happened
with some movies.
So, I think this is a good idea because
I think what Trump is saying, hey,
multiple states are giving tax
incentive. Georgia gives you them,
Florida gives you them, um, Texas will
give you them, uh, Washington's got a
lot of editing in, uh, um, Vancouver
area. So Trump is like, "Hey, make the
movies here in the US. Make them here in
the US." There's all these places to
make in the US. Even if they're trying
to get out of California because of the
unions and things that are happening
that you've seen, Vinnie, you've
personally seen it. Everything from
comedy shows, and I don't mean like on
location comedy shows where you're, you
know, you're in New York at at some
classic comedy place. So you're filming
it there, of course. I'm talking about
just doing, you know, live HBO comedy
jam or doing it live, getting out. And
what Trump is saying, look, American
jobs, American manufacturing, make
movies in America just like washing
machines.
I think that is the angle. That is the
real message here. Now then, here's
where I feel weird about this. I love
the fact that like the Last Bond movie
was shot on location and you can see
that it's Croatia and it's not CGI and
it's beautiful. There's places all over
the place to go. And so I feel kind of
weird. I'm kind of weird about that way,
but I understand what he's trying to do.
They're kind of treating it, you know,
like, hey, make make your washing
machines, make your appliances, make
electronics here in America American
jobs. I get that part, but there's a
part of the creative side I think you
got to give him grace.
Yeah, I think Trump is just throwing
this out there to make waves to kind of
make a point. I don't I don't know if
Trump truly on his list of, you know,
you talk about his top agenda, 20
things. If American Movies is on this, I
think this is the first time that he's
implemented a proposed tariff on a
service rather than a good. Everything
is goods, goods, goods, goods.
Everything the manufacturing, this is a
service now. Uh I don't know. I think
that maybe he throws this out there just
like many other tariffs in many other
countries. It's a negotiation tactic and
then you meet somewhere in the middle. I
think it'd be great if all movies were
made in America, you know, made in
America, but that's not the reality of
it. Like you gave the James Bond
example, like certain places they're
going to we're going to need for the
movie to have actual uh like the proper
scene, the proper vibe. You might need
to go to New Zealand or you might need
to go to Italy, whatever it is. Uh I
think
Lord of the Rings was shot all in New
Zealand.
Exactly. So I think this is a threat
that he'll eventually tamper down and
meet in the middle. But if we know
anything about Trump, he throws a
grenade out there, see who reacts, and
then he kind of takes it from there. But
uh
but I think I think they should they
should do something like at least a
50/50. Like if you're going to shoot
five of them there,
we want you to shoot five of them here.
Like because the the the job market in
Los Angeles for all the people that are
working on movies and everything, bro,
on sets and drivers and everything, it
is it is bad, bro. It is really, really,
really bad.
I'd love to know what Gavin Newsome
thinks about something like this. Does
he want to keep jobs in California?
Gavin Newsome is becoming pro oil
because he wants to run for office.
Kevin's got a bigger problem to deal
with. But
when it comes down to creative,
I am a little bit more
uh uh you you got to you got to Yeah.
You got to let you got to creative go do
do where they want to produce the movie
and then encourage some states in
America that want more movies to be shot
there. Give better benefits.
Period. By the way, some people may not
want that. Some states are like, I don't
want Hollywood to come to my state. No
problem. You pick and choose what values
you want to build on.
Last night was a great night. The
Yankees beat the Reds out. Okay, notice
one person not clapping. Okay, and that
is none other than Tom Ellsworth. So,
here's what we want to do with you.
Here's what Look at that. Look at that.
Look at the look. Zoom in on his face.
By the way, I want people Can you zoom
in on his face? Zoom in on his face and
tell me everybody in the group text last
night was texting back except for one
guy. And the one guy who didn't respond
back was this guy. He says he doesn't
have hate towards the Yankees.
I believe he does. Having said that, the
pitcher of the Yankees yesterday pitched
a
lights out
12 strike. You know, he hasn't pitched a
12 strikeout. Not in a minor leagues.
Not this is the first time he does it.
Lights out. Great stuff.
But here's what we like to see. For some
of you guys that are Dodger fans, you're
from LA and you're on Tom's side. We got
the Dodger blue future. Looks
brighthead. Check this out. Look at the
timing of it.
What a sick hat that is. By the way,
whether you're a Dodgers fan or not,
that is legit one of the sickest blue
colored Future Looks Bright hat we have.
But if you're a Yankees fan, folks, we
also got the Yankees hat.
The navy blue future looks bright hat.
So, here's a contest we're going to be
playing.
We're going to be watching to see which
of these two is going to get more love.
Now, Yankees Tom was upset cuz Tom said
people in LA are sleeping, Pat. Yankees
fans are up.
Yeah, we are.
But but listen, California is one of the
biggest viewers of the podcast. So Rob,
we have to find a way to put the links
of both hats there. Folks, if you're
searching it, you could put navy hat.
It'll come up. And what's the other
hat's title? If somebody is searching
this or they want to find it, it's royal
royal hat. You type in royal, but both
hats are colors. Maybe you're somebody
that's kind of like, you know, you're
you're neither the Yankees or the
Dodgers. Some of you guys may be
watching this. You're pirates. You're
ready to go after the ump.
Some of you guys are like, "Where's
that? Give me the I want to go find that
man. I want to go chase that man. I
don't know if you guys saw it or not.
They were chasing. Did you see that
afterward? Oh my god.
They chased the
They're holding the Pirates players back
from destroying this ump
because of couple bad pitches that that
