President Donald Trump has said that there is going to be a liberation in this country. There will be tariffs put on every country that has tariffs against us. There will be reciprocity and there will be tariffs across the board. The Trump administration is planning its biggest round of tariffs yet this Wednesday. Now, do not look at your stock portfolio. Do not do that this week. Make a promise to yourself. Take the app off your phone. Do not look at your stock portfolio. Say, this week and maybe for a couple weeks, I am not going to look at it because it's going to get a little bit bumpy. We're in for some turbulence. Now, we already have tariffs on Canada and Mexico, but what we're getting now is a big wave of reciprocal tariffs.
Charlie Kirk 2:44
These are tariffs that President Trump is imposing as retaliation for similar tariffs that have imposed on American goods in other countries. For example, India has a huge tariff on Harley Davidsons, just stuff like this. Big screen TV tariffs in Japan. If we are going to be tariffed, then we will tariff back. Last year, the U.S. trade deficit with the rest of the planet passed $1.2 trillion. That's a record, and there are no signs of things getting better unless we took dramatic action. America has been becoming a country that produces nothing and only buys. That ends in national bankruptcy. We are seeing a geopolitical restructuring on our terms. We have a choice. We could ignore what is obviously the rebalancing of the international world order and continue to be a consumer economy.
Charlie Kirk 3:39
If you are strictly a consumer economy, you are subservient and held hostage to the internationalist and globalist forces. We are tired of being cheated, and President Trump has talked about this issue for decades. We have one shot and one shot only to fix this. We have one opportunity. While we are still the wealthiest nation in the world and the incumbent economic player, we have one chance to do this. You see, post-World War II and the World War II-based order, America decided to become a consumer economy. We don't really make much in this country anymore. We make mobile apps. We build homes. And we have a banking sector that is robust and the best on the planet for now. What else do we actually physically make? Now, there are some small manufacturing companies that have still persisted. But we signed a series of trade agreements. The North Atlantic Free Trade Agreement, NAFTA. We allowed China to go into WTO in the late 1990s.
