I want to talk to you a little bit about the tariffs because Donald Trump said tariffs are saving the country.
Yeah.
And tariffs are paid for by foreign countries.
And then he said eventually they will replace the income tax.
I mean, how stupid do you think he thinks we are?
No, and when he says that prices are down, Kentucky costs for the average Kentuckian have gone up $1,500 per household last year.
Yeah.
So when he says prices are plummeting down, it's just a flat-out lie.
And when he says incomes are rising fast, no, they're not, unless you're for the top 1%.
And he's claimed that he's lowered prices on every product that just has gone up over the last year.
It's a ton of lies.
And, you know, going back to the tariffs, I just want to put another stomp on this.
When you say that tariffs have revived American manufacturing, it is the opposite of that.
We've lost manufacturing jobs.
that when you say tariffs have eliminated trade deficits, it's just not true.
And it's not drove down inflation.
You know, it didn't drive down inflation.
The only thing it does is cause chaos.
So one of the things we have to do in the Senate, in Congress, is make sure that, you know, after the midterms, you win back Tower and you stop this madness.
because it's hurting everybody.
