But it's usually the Democrat-run companies. big cities where this problem is taking place. And I don't say that as a Republican. I just say, you look at the 25 cities, the top problems, they're just about all Democrat, the Democrat run. And they're also high tax, high regulation states. Yeah, no cash bail, all these different things that have taken place. They're phenomena. It's a phenomena.
What's going on? Nobody's ever seen anything like it. And it has to be stopped. It's a horrible quality of life. And on top of that, you can't walk to a store. You end up getting shot or mugged or something. The level of crime in the cities, in these big cities, is out of control. Nobody has ever seen anything like it.

Well, let me say that I respect Larry Summers a lot. He's been right about a lot of things and Obama and Biden have been wrong. certain things that he said turned out to be true, certain things. And he really, I do have a good respect for him. He's a different kind of a guy and he speaks his mind. I happen to be a big believer in tariffs because I think tariffs give you two things.

They give you economic gain, but they also give you a political gain. If a country is out of control and something having nothing to do with economics or having nothing to do with money coming in or money going out, but other things that are very political, because there are a lot of other things involved in countries, you have tremendous power over a country.

Now, not everybody can say that, but we can because we're the big piggy bank. But our piggy bank is going to get smaller and smaller all the time because we're losing power. We're losing a lot of countries on the dollar. I mean, they're going like flies. If we ever lose that, that's the equivalent of losing a war. That would be unbelievable. That would really make us third world.

We have lost so many countries. I looked the other day. So Russia's gone. Russia's gone. You take a look. Ukraine doesn't sort of exist in a sense. Nobody knows what's going on there. But when you look at China, it's essentially gone. They're trying to get out of it. They're a primary competitor. Iran is not there.

The other day, I read where Saudi Arabia is willing to now go in various different currencies instead of the dollar. This is a tragedy. This is a big thing that's happening against our country. And we cannot let that happen. With tariffs, it gives you a tremendous power as an example not to let that happen. You say, you want to do that?

We're going to put tariffs on your product coming into the United States. But more importantly, and that's a big importance, but probably of more importance is they tax us We tax them, reciprocal trade. I think we should have a reciprocal trade act. If China's gonna charge us $100 tariff or 100% tariff on a car, then we should say, you gotta pay 100% to us.

You know, I put on a large tariff on China cars coming in, and it had a huge impact, a huge positive impact. And Biden only is doing the electric cars. I don't know why that is, because the electric cars, they're gonna end up all being made in China, by the way. They're not gonna be made here. The United Auto Workers are gonna take a blow like no unions ever.

Between that and people coming in, pouring into our country, unions are getting absolutely decimated. Absolutely. President Trump. But the reciprocal act is, I think, a very important thing when these countries, and I don't mean just China. We have other countries. You could take the European Union. They don't want our farm product, and they don't want our cars, and they don't want anything.

We have a massive deficit right there. But you could go with many countries, and they essentially do things to us, and we should do things to them. Basically, it should be reciprocal.
