00:00Adam it's good to see you mate. Good to see you Jack. Hey I wanted to talk to you about Trump's
00:07proposed tax on foreign-made films apparently a hundred percent tariff. He thinks this is
00:15going to you know revitalize the film industry here other people worry that maybe it'll be bad
00:20for the industry what are your thoughts? Well my thoughts are we used to do a lot of films in Los
00:26Angeles and then we drove up all the tariffs and the taxes and the prices and then they move right
00:34so you know Hollywood claims to be all about you know the people and the little people and
00:44pay your fair share but the second they up the taxes they go to Prague they go to Canada they go
00:51to New Mexico they're hypocrites so they lower everything they'll bring it back and it'll work
00:58so that's my that's my thought because that's what that's what they do that's all they do that's all
01:04they ever do so you know Brian France is a friend of mine Brian they were supposed to shoot Breaking
01:12Bad in Riverside California but they the taxes were too high or the tariffs were too high so they went
01:19to New Mexico so I drove him to the Burbank Airport and he went to New Mexico and that's where they
01:26shot it because they charge too much so if they charge too much people leave and if they lessen it
01:33people stay see I think it'll end up working but it'd be nice to be shot in town you know and weren't incentivized to leave town so
