00:00U.S. President Donald Trump is now targeting films made abroad in the latest expansion of
00:08his ongoing tariff war. He has threatened 100% tariffs on international productions,
00:14accusing other countries of destroying Hollywood's film industry.
00:18Hollywood is being destroyed. Now, you have an incompetent, grossly incompetent governor
00:23that allows that to happen. So I'm not just blaming other nations, but other nations,
00:28a lot of them, have stolen our movie industry. And I'm saying, if they're not willing to make a
00:34movie inside the United States, then we should have a tariff on movies that come in.
00:40Trump also announced that he wants to reopen the notorious and long-shuttered Alcatraz prison,
00:46suggesting illegal immigrants could be detained there without trial.
00:50And I guess because the judges, so many of these radicalized judges,
00:54they want to have trials for every single thing of it. Every single person that's in our country
01:01illegally that came in illegally, that would mean millions of trials. And it's just so ridiculous
01:06what's happening. And it's long been a symbol, Alcatraz, of whatever it is. I mean, it's a sad
01:15symbol, but it's a symbol of law and order. Bringing Alcatraz up to modern day standards would likely be
01:23an expensive and challenging endeavor. It was shut more than 60 years ago due to crumbling
01:28infrastructure and high maintenance costs.
