00:00So the White House team has been discussing their economic achievements today,

00:05the price of eggs falling and more jobs created. But do you think Scott Besant ignored the big

00:11questions, especially on tariffs, which is causing global economic uncertainty? And we've also seen

00:19the U.S. markets struggling through this period. No, I think what he's focused on, again, and I

00:25personally call this economic equity. You know, here in Democrats, in America, I should say,

00:31Democrats speak often of equity. Well, President Trump is delivering on equity when it comes to

00:36our economy. The question should be, why have so many foreign countries taking full advantage of

00:44the American consumer for years, if not decades, as it relates to their tariffs on American products?

00:51So to me, when President Trump came into office, this is kind of what he had was a deal dealt with

00:58international countries on the tariffs that they were putting on American products, and the U.S.

01:04tariffs were here. President Trump is just bringing our tariffs to the same level playing field as the

01:12American consumer has been dealing with. Why is he doing this? Because ultimately, the goal is just to

01:17bring down the tariffs on all sides of the equation to negotiate better opportunities and better deals

01:24for the American people and for the American worker.
