What I try to do is see problems and solve them. And the problem I saw crystal clear is the unfair trade that was driving up these large trade deficits. and shutting down our factories and creating just all sorts of misery for blue-collar workers.

It was always the same, like Mnuchin and Cohn and Kudlow and all these people, they just didn't buy in. And the defining moment for me in terms of when I finally was able to, um, began doing what the president wanted me to do, it was about four months in, and he made the famous where's my Peter call.

It's like he's sitting around with these guys, four months in, nothing's happening at all, and he goes, where's my Peter? I go over there, and I have this like battle with Cohn and whatever, and then some months later, I'm able with Wilbur Ross to get the steel and aluminum tariffs in, and Cohn leaves like a crying little baby in a huff.

So just to clarify, I went to prison not because I didn't want to cooperate with an investigation, but because it was my duty— as a senior White House official, to refuse to appear when issued an unlawful congressional subpoena. That case is being litigated. It was unfortunate. They put me in prison until they should have waited until my appeal ran its course.

But I want to be really clear about why I went to prison. I was defending the Constitution. Now, to your point,

So from the review of my book, there's been a steady evolution of thought amongst the public, even on Wall Street, about what I've been saying, what the president has been saying, what others in our camp have been saying. And I guess I'm mainstream now. That's scary. Yeah.

All the ones that were wrong about Trump, you know, like the biggest... Ones that you don't believe in and that you kind of felt... Well, but I think it's fair, Anna, for you to go back and look at those analyses who said it and then look what they said, for example, when Trump came into office and how they predicted there would be chaos and

recession, inflation, stagnation that has never happened. I think my point here is that the academic community can't be trusted to critique Trump economics. And they have a credibility problem because they've been crying this wolf. They did it all through the first term. None of that happened. They're just wrong. We're right. They're wrong. End of story.
