These are the kind of questions I have. And I don't think they're really reciprocal tariffs. If they were, they would look a lot different.

I was listening to the Treasury Secretary today on one of the talk shows in the morning. And he made it clear his goal is to bring back industry back to our country. So he laid it out pretty clearly. I've talked to the president and hear him talk. He often talks about level playing field. These guys are blocking our products. And so we don't have a fair deal.

So you hear a little bit of both, depending on who you're talking to. I believe... I'll give you an example. I've already mentioned that Europe has lots of rules that block our exports. We should try to knock those down and talk to them about it.

And I wouldn't go to tariffs right away, but I would, you know, form some meetings and say, hey, it's not fair that you get to sell anything you want in our country, and we can't get corn and beef and pork into your guys' countries. And we should have that dialogue. Well, looking at the Treasury Secretary today, it sure sounded like their goal is to bring back manufacturing.

And there was a lot of questions in my mind on that. We have two workers for every retiree now. It's not like we were 30 years ago where we had 10 workers for every retiree. I'm not sure we have that kind of workforce anymore, but I think it's a high-risk move what they're doing here.

Yeah, we would be—you'd see a depression in the beef market here, the beef industry. And we have a great market because people like Nebraska beef. It's world-renowned. That is the one area that you do find some buyers in Europe. If you say Nebraska beef, they'll buy it, and they put it on their menu as such. Omaha Steaks.

I mean, you know, many a holiday, we've all gotten our Omaha Steaks box, right? So we would probably— still has some markets in Asia, but even then we're putting tariffs on them and they're going to reciprocate that. And so it's going to, the ag industry suffers in a trade war because this is the low-hanging fruit for other countries to go after when it comes to America.
