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 – they bring in a lot of cheap stuff, and that's good for American consumers, and we sell them things. But they're not playing by the rules. They cheat. They steal. They are predatory, and they're dangerous.

So we can say to them, look, you're going to do X, Y, and Z, or – we're going to slap you with a 30% tariff. Now they could say, well, we're going to slap you, but they can't do that. They can't win a tit for tat war with us because if we can't trade with them, it would hurt us. 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 pro 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? Probably us. 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, uh, Ukraine. Well, in the short term is right, but let's, why would we do that when we'd have them in Montana?

Why wouldn't we just go and, you know, why do we have to be dependent on, on, uh, China, Russia and, and Ukraine for our minerals? Uh, and we should become more self-sufficient. We have, we should not just do that. I was thinking that when you said, you know, plant baby plant, because we are going to drill baby drill and we should mine baby mine.
