We have, in Kentucky, we have the second largest dependency per capita on international trade.

And a lot of it has to do with our bourbon industry, our aerospace industry, our farming.

But our state's largest market is,

for exports was Canada.

Kentucky exported $9 billion in goods in 2024, so two years ago.

That's 20% of the goods that we export goes to Canada.

And it's crazy.

And it just hurts our state.

And then on top of it, there was a new study that came out just this past week that said that 96% of the burden of tariffs

So who pays for tariffs?

96% are paid by Americans.

Well, I mean Rand Paul has come out and said tariffs are a tax.

You're right, a bit.

But the vast majority of Republicans here in Kentucky, I mean they are lockstep.

They are just hugging on Mar-a-Lago.

I mean – and every – people need to know every dollar of tariff revenue that they tout is extracted.

From American businesses, American households, everyday people.

It's a tax.

And, you know, Donald Trump wants Republicans to run on this in 2026.

I guess he brought them together for a retreat.
