Thank you. So this goes back to, uh, not in way even before Milton Friedman was one of my greatest, my favorite economist, but, but Adam Smith and Adam Smith and his great book, the wealth of nations talked about this idea of comparative advantage. And I'm going to keep this really simple. Okay. So, uh, Brazil and Columbia have great coffee beans, right? The best coffee beans in the world.

We have the best microchips. So it makes sense that we would buy our coffee beans from Brazil and we would sell them microchips. You see what I'm saying? Yeah. And so that's why trade is so important. I mean, if Art Laffer, another one of my mentors were on, he'd say, you know, free trade is one of the pillars of prosperity. The freedom to trade makes everybody better off.

But all Trump is saying is we want a level playing field here. We're the lowest tariff country. Did you know that, Glenn?

Yep. And I think in the end of the day, and this is my, you know, when I say my prayers at night, I hope this is the way it turns out. After two or three years of this Trump administration, I believe we will move more towards freer and fairer trade.

Well, you know, so far so good. I do miss being in West Virginia and dealing with sane people in the state of West Virginia. But, you know, it's something I certainly prayed on a lot and certainly need a lot of prayers and God's protection when you're down here. I know. There's no doubt about it.

Yeah, so I am very supportive of the president's tariffs. I've actually introduced what's called the U.S. Reciprocal Trade Act. And specifically, what the president's trying to do here and what I'm trying to address in my bill is, in short, we're getting taken for a ride. The American people and the American worker have been getting taken for a ride for a very long time.

Now, what my bill does is it addresses non-tariff trade barriers that are there. So that could be a VAT. That could be a regulation. It could be government subsidies. that act like a tariff for our manufacturers to be able to enter into that marketplace, right? A lot of hidden costs in there.

Now, the president, what he wants to do is be able to reciprocate with all these countries that have high tariffs. And what I want to do is allow them to give more latitude to be able to reciprocate on these non-tariff barriers, because at the end of the day, nobody wants high tariffs.
