The overall market we know has come down still up here.
voice-verified
Ford and General Motors kind of went off a cliff after inauguration, down 10% for General Motors, about 7.5% for Ford.
voice-verified
And here's a quote from the Ford CEO before yesterday.
voice-verified
Tariffs will blow a hole in the industry that we have never seen.
voice-verified
And so he said in his speech just now that he had spoken to all three automakers and they were happy.
voice-verified
Well, a day later, they called the White House and said, no, we're really not so happy.
voice-verified
We need you to at least pause these tariffs and hopefully get rid of them.
voice-verified
He later said that farmers go have fun, but Steve, you say that they'll lose a huge market to actually sell their goods.
voice-verified
Well, he may love the farmers.
voice-verified
I'm not so sure they love him at the moment.
voice-verified
Let's just go back to Trump 1 for a second, because he also put tariffs on, as you remember then, and there were retaliatory tariffs.
voice-verified
In 2018 and 19, the government collected a total of $50 billion from all the tariffs that we imposed on things coming into this country.
voice-verified
We then gave back $24.5 billion to the farmers to compensate them for their lost exports.
voice-verified
So that did not go so well.
voice-verified
Let's see why.
voice-verified
We export a huge amount of soybeans, 7.7 billion, and even more of corn, 13.1 billion.
voice-verified
We export virtually none of it.
voice-verified
So if we lose these exports, this stuff stays in the American market.
voice-verified
Americans are already buying all the soybeans and corn they want to buy.
voice-verified
So I don't really see how this is great for American farmers, how this sort of allows them to, quote, sell things at home when we're already selling everything we can at home and sending the rest of it overseas as one of our major exports.
