where we're going with this it relates
to the stock market because if the
slowdown occurs like I think it will and
and still some people now are talking a
little bit about the probability of a
recession i think it's over 90% this
year so as a result of a slowdown of
course sales go down and profits go down
the Smoot Holly tariff was announced in
March of 1930 and then the stock market

the Smoot Holly tariff was announced in
March of 1930 and then the stock market
started really crashing until July of
1932 it hit a low that it was 83% lower
than it was when the tariffs were
announced and let's get back to the
earnings thing a little bit and withrecession sales go down and as sales go
down profits go down earnings go down
and the consensus on earnings was 15%
growth this year then they brought it
down to 13% and most recently they
brought it down to 10% i think it's
going to be zero
i've always said I thought the consensus
is too optimistic and what does a tariff
i've always said I thought the consensus
is too optimistic and what does a tariff
do a tariff is a tax on international
transactions so it drives a wedge into
those profits or those benefits or the
surplus resulting from the trade and it
takes it away like any tax and puts it
in the government's pocketbook so that's
why earnings go down the trade aspect it
tariffs take away some of the surplus
1:30
generated by international transactions
1:33
it's just that simple the money supply
1:36
is the fuel for the economy and when the
1:39
money supply contracts like it's done
1:41
since the summer of 2022 that slowdown
1:44
gets transmitted into the economy and
1:47
the economy slows down that's why I keep

using this expression well a slowdown is
baked in the cake and it has nothing to
do with whether who's president or any
of those things it's just a function of
what the money supply is doing so we had
that coming on us this year most people
by the way haven't seen this coming at
all because they don't pay any attention<
by the way haven't seen this coming at
all because they don't pay any attention
to the money supply or the quantity
theory of money and then all of a sudden
we get a second aspect coming in and
that's the Trump tariff and that is
really throwing a lot of sand in the
2:20
gear shall we say and that will just
2:22
make the slowdown even worse and
2:24
probably will have a technical recession
2:27
and so that's why people are concerned
2:30
the other reason is that something I
2:32
call regime uncertainty and that is that
2:34
when you get tremendous activism in a
2:38
government where they're changing kind
really throwing a lot of sand in the
gear shall we say and that will just
