So we are living by the agreement.
Well, what you've seen him do is fine-tune the efforts with individual countries or regions like the EU, UK, Japan, for example.
I want to see the consolidate the wins from those agreements that he's done over this first year in the first place.
Secondly, you've seen him roll back some tariffs on commodities that we don't make here in the United States, but we need to use, whether it's a fruit or vegetable or a coffee, for example.
And I think that makes sense.
You don't want to burden the consumer as you're attempting to change trade policies in other countries or compel them to follow America's lead on something like transnational drug cartel, countering those drug cartels.
But on the affordability side, Lisa, I think the most important thing we can do is stay focused on the supply side.
The one big beautiful bill last year signed into law by President Trump will see real wage increases this year for American families.
In Arkansas, we expect some $10,000 in benefit to a family of four from the increased child tax credit, the lower taxes on tips.
the use of the standard deduction, lower taxes on seniors' social security.
So on that supply side, combined with what we're doing on regulations and the proposal I made for housing in the 21st Century Housing Act, we got 390 votes on the House floor for that this week.
Oh, Lisa, I hope not.
I just, look, it was so hard on my TSA agents in Little Rock and up in the tower at Little Rock National Airport, the air traffic controllers.
That was a bad 42 days.
That's not how to run the government.
President Trump has used Tom Holman as a leader to consolidate both ICE and CBB operations in Minneapolis, bring transparency to the operations, streamline it, make sure the training is in place, make sure the operation...
It's consistent with federal law.
They're using body cams.
Let's take that as the right direction and keep our government funded in homeland security.
So important to so many people.
