Our target is $2 trillion. What Rick Scott is wanting to do is up to $10 trillion, which probably isn't feasible for us to do, but we'll land somewhere in between there. So by the time we're done with reconciliation, we'll cut more than the House budget is.

But you just have to be patient with us and make sure that we can get the budget passed, because without the budget passed, we can never get to reconciliation to begin with.

Well, first of all, people support President Trump and understand President Trump is not looking at this like a politician. The reason why we've allowed these countries to take advantage of us is because no one had the stones to stand up to these other countries and quit letting them take advantage of us.

We understand that President Trump is looking at this as long term, not just to the next election. but long-term. So that's our future economy. We're talking about a generational change in our economy. For the last 40 years, we've allowed, actually the last 60 years, we've allowed countries to take advantage of our true economy, which is the strongest and the best economy in the world.

And what we've done is made these other countries rich. China wouldn't exist if they didn't have access to us. The president is saying it's time to right the wrong. So yes, there's going to be a little short-term gain, or short-term pain, but it's going to be a long-term gain for us in our economy because the president understands the economy better than any other president out there.

So let's talk about what's going to happen. When we start talking about reciprocal tariffs, not just tariffs that are one for one. For instance, I use Japan for this. Japan has zero tariffs on American manufactured vehicles going into Japan. However, you cannot actually buy an American-made vehicle in Japan because of their rules.

Japan has zero tariffs on American manufactured vehicles going into Japan. However, you cannot actually buy an American-made vehicle in Japan because of their rules.

So even though they have zero tariffs, you cannot find a single dealership in Japan that sells Fords and Chevys. but we have Japan vehicles driving all over our country. So what the president is saying, reciprocal means not only do you have the same tariff level, but we have the same access to your economy. If you want access to us, we're gonna have access to you.

If you want free trade with us and free access to our economy, we want free trade with you and access to your economy too, because we know that America can compete and actually beat any other country out there on manufacturing goods. And for farmers and ranchers, Charlie, I'm a rancher, generational rancher. We've been in our land raising cattle since the 1840s. Is the market great? No.

Is it wonderful right now? No. But you can talk to any farmer and any rancher out there right now. They're tired of countries like Brazil and like Canada and even Mexico that are subsidizing their farmers and giving them access to our market, which is driving down our prices.

Well, you got to have regulation reform because regulation can be a tax on the consumer too and tax on the manufacturer. So if we have zero taxes on manufacturers and we have high regulations, it doesn't make any difference. But the developed world average for taxes on corporations, 15%. We're sitting at 21%.

Yet people still want to do business with us because they want to have access to our economy. So we have to we got to hold the taxes for corporations at where they're at. We can't increase like Chip Roy wants to increase corporate tax rates. We can't do that because we still got to be competitive. At the same time, we've got to have labor tax rates that are actually favorable to corporations.
