[English]

Taiwan will not accept Washington's

proposal to locally manufacture half the

chips it currently supplies to the US.

The island's top trade negotiator says

speaking to reporters. Uh Changi Chuan,

also the country's vice premier said on

Wednesday that the proposal for 5050

split and semiconductor production was

not even discussed as she returned from

trade talks in the US. According to

Taiwan Central News Agency, Shank said

the talks were focused on reducing

levies on Taiwanese exports. And Taiwan

currently faces a reciprocal tariff rate

of 20%.

Washington has held discussions with

Taipei about the 50/50 split in

semiconductor production, which would

cut American reliance on Taiwan.

Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnik said

last Wednesday in an interview to News

Nation that adding that currently 95% of

US demands was met via chips uh produce

within Taiwan. My objective and this

administration objective is to get chip

manufacturing significantly on short. We

need to make our own chips. Lutnik said

the idea that I pitched Taiwan was let's

get 50/50. We're producing half and

we're you're producing half. Donald

Trump also has spoken taken aim at the

islands dominance and chip earlier this

year accusing it of stealing the US chip

business. Interesting, Tom. It's very

simple. Taiwan says, "I wanted you to

prot this is incredibly simple. Taiwan

said, "I wanted you to protect me from

from China, but I don't want you to take

the revenue by building some of the

chips over at your house. Please don't

do that." And that was the deal that the

Trump uh and Howard Lutton have put in

front of him. Hey, we're going to build

chips in the US. It'll be 50/50. we'll

move the tariff back and then we'll

diplomatically work with China and

they're like no I still want to make

everything and I want you to protect me.

That's what it came down to. I think

Lutnik's being very smart here.

>> I think Lutnik is being smart but I

think Lutnik and them are also

leveraging the fact that you need you

need their protection

>> to Tom. You good?

>> That Ray JJ thing really got him fired.

>> Tom Tom Tom's

>> Tom just walked down. Was it wait was it

Taiwan or he was like and that's it and

there's a chance you know Tom's trigger

it's semiconductors

let me

>> the last time we will cover the

semiconductor story ever again. Go ahead

Tom's got a semi on right now.

>> Go ahead.

>> Um well Tom is actually right. I wish he

was here to receive this credit and

accolade. Uh ch Taiwan can't have it

both ways. It's kind of like Ukraine.

It's like, you want our money, you want

our funding, you want our help, you want

our hard power, soft power, the whole

deal, but we're going to need a little

bit of them minerals. Uh, Mr. Zalinski,

what Taiwan is saying is like, uh, yeah,

we we need your protection, but you're

not getting any of our chips.

>> Were you now Vinnie's leaving?

>> Adam, what's your point?

>> Shut up, Tom. Go back to your seat.

Okay. But the point is, uh, Taiwan is

going to have to, uh, come to the

bargaining table, and we can't have 95%

of our chips manufactured in Taiwan. Did

you know that number, Pat? 95%.

>> That's a lot.

>> That's a monopoly on our chips. It's

kind of like when China was

manufacturing all our goods and we

learned during COVID. Oh my god.

>> But the leverage is on us though.

>> The protection cuz we're like the big

mafia boss.

>> Are you kidding me? What are you talking

about? So, how are they saying no, we're

not going to give you a

>> They're going to get it. US is going to

get what they want. It's just maybe a

longer plan, but US is going to get what

they want. They don't have They don't

have a lot of choices of what to do

here.

>> They They need America, period.

>> That's true.

>> They need America in a big way. Last

night was a great night.

>> The Yankees beat the Red Sox. 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

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 gonna be

playing.

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 us

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 you're not 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 up. 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

afterwards? Oh my god.

>> They chase the ump.

>> They're holding the Pirates players back

from destroying this ump

>> because of couple bad pitches that that

Cubs obviously.

>> Yeah. It's done, guys.

>> Next year it's a robot.

>> Yeah. Yeah, it's true.
