Yeah. And so what that means is that let's say, let's take China as an example. I believe as a free trader that when we have free trade with China, we generally both, you know, they bring in a lot of cheap stuff and that, you know, that's good for American consumers and we sell them things, but they're not playing by the rules.

If they can't trade with us, they go into Great Depression. And Trump understands that. And that's why he's so effective at using these threats of terror. Same thing with Mexico. And I look, I love the Mexicans. I'm told Mexico. But the Mexicans have to trade with the United States. They must.

And so Trump is saying, if you want to have that access to the biggest consumer market in the world, you are going to help on the fentanyl crisis. You're going to help on the border. You're going to do the other things that they should do anyway.

I'm not an expert on the agriculture industry, but I will say this, that, you know, he wants us to be dominant in energy. Incidentally, we should also be, we can and should be dominant in minerals. You know, we just did a study of unleashed prosperity. You know what country in the world has the most minerals?

We've got the mountains of Dakota. We got Utah. We got Colorado. But we can't get them. I know. You know why? For the last 20 years, the radical environmentalists have not allowed us to mine. And that's why I'm a little frustrated, even with Trump a little bit. We said, well, we've got to get these precious minerals from China. From Ukraine. Well, in the short term, he's right.

And we should become more self-sufficient. We have we should not just do that. When you said, you know, plant, baby, plant, because we are going to drill, baby, drill. And we should mine, baby, mine. We should use.
