00:00Fox News host Maria Bartiromo through a complete and total tantrum when they interviewed a car

00:06dealer who said, oh, no, no, Trump's tariffs are going to be terrible for our industry. This is

00:13really good stuff. I it's a couple of minutes long. It's worth setting up and really watching

00:19the whole thing. They've got, you know, reporter on the street at a car dealership talking to

00:24car dealer guy. And the guy starts to explain, you know, if you add what these tariffs are going

00:31to add to the cost of these vehicles, to the retail price of the vehicles, no one's going to

00:37buy these vehicles. It's just they're going to be too expensive. It's going to exceed their market

00:42value and their perceived utility. Maria Bartiromo doesn't like it. Stick with it. When they go back

00:47to her, they go. They don't have these cars in Europe and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

00:50There's a reason why. OK, check this out. It is a complete and total meltdown from exactly who

00:56you would expect it to come for Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge Ram. Yeah. Impact. Dramatic, dramatic. I

01:05sold order for a customer. Eighty thousand dollar truck. It's a hundred thousand dollars now. So

01:10he's not going to buy the truck. It's going to sit on my lot. And, you know, the higher interest

01:15rates we're paying right now for floor plan and nobody's going to buy the truck because

01:19it just had a twenty thousand dollar price increase. Kelly Blue Book will put the number

01:24up. They say the average vehicle will go up by about three thousand dollars. Does it sound right

01:28to you? No, no, no. We don't have the broad. We don't have the linear, the tight strokes. But

01:36to me, it's a twenty five percent in tariff. So that affects our parts that come from over

01:43these countries and a whole bunch of our cars. And you've been basing your business model on

01:51free trade, basically. This is what the American Automakers Policy Council says, Maria,

01:57in response to this. They say our American automakers invested billions in the U.S.

02:01to meet the requirements of the current free trade agreement. They shouldn't have their

02:05competitiveness undermined by tariffs that will raise the cost of building vehicles in the U.S.

02:10and stymie investment in the American workforce while competitors from the outside

02:14of North America benefit. The German no tariff on the German cars. No, no. They're Japanese.

02:20They're going to be OK. But but think about it. We built our business around that. The OEMs built

02:26their business around that. And now it changes on a dime. And we can't build a four billion

02:32dollar plant overnight in the United States. So I think building in the United States is great.

02:39I think enhancing the participation from the other countries on the other things. But we this

02:46is pretty radical. I hear you. So the diagnosis is pretty dire. Now let's go to Maria. There you go,

02:53Maria, where the rubber meets the road here. All right. Great. Yeah. Pennsylvania.

02:59Exactly. Jeff, thank you. Thank you so much. Jeff Locke at the Dodge Ram plant. I mean,

03:06uh, not plant. It's not a plant. Chris, they're selling cars. Thank you. Dealership. But you know

03:12what? Let me let me ask you this, OK? Yes. How many Dodge Rams do you see driving around Europe?

03:18OK. How many Dodge Rams do you see driving around India? I mean, not many. I bet. Why?

03:25Because they don't buy our cars. And that's what President Trump is trying to change.

03:29Maybe Dodge should start building them here. The reason that you don't see Dodge Rams,

03:37OK, in Belgium and in Paris is because these stupid monster trucks don't fit on their roads

03:46because they don't subsidize gasoline the way we do, meaning that what they pay for gas is closer

03:53to the real total cost of a gallon, meaning it would be nuts to have a Dodge Ram monster truck.

04:00And it has nothing to do with what Maria Bartiromo wants. You believe to believe that it is about

04:07and tariffs are sure as hell not going to fix it. This is you know, it I've said this before.

04:14I don't know that Maria Bartiromo is this dumb because she was a really good financial reporter

04:20back in the CNBC days when I was in high school and I was starting to get a little bit involved in

04:24the stock market and understanding how some of these things work. She did excellent interviews

04:29with CEOs, held them to account, reported from the floor of the New York Stock Exchange, first

04:33woman to do so. All these different things. I struggle to believe she could be this dumb.

04:39And so that makes me think she's playing a character for Fox News and to placate Trump,

04:43which is arguably in some way even worse.
