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.

Nobody can produce beef, pork, corn, soybeans at a price that we can in the Midwest because we do it at a scale that nobody else can do it at. You know, we have one rancher here in Nebraska that has 200,000 head of cattle. Our governor does like 1,500 piglets every day born. It takes 1,500 to the market.

You know, it's a good question. First of all, I love the history of I'm a history guy. So, you know, the Republicans are very protectionist, particularly in the late 1800s. We wanted high tariffs. Was the smooth... The – I can't think of the last name.
