00:00What if the government sent you a check for just paying your bills?
00:03President Trump just teased something big, tariff rebate checks for Americans.
00:08He says, a lot of money is coming in from the tariffs,
00:11and hinted at turning that into cash dividends for the people.
00:15Sounds like free money, right?
00:17But hold on.
00:18This idea isn't solid yet.
00:20Trump says it's a concept, not a plan.
00:24He wants to pay down the national debt first,
00:26but admits there's a chance that some of the $300 billion in revenue could go back to you.
00:32In fact, one proposal from Senator Josh Hawley could give $600 per adult and child,
00:37meaning a family of four could receive $2,400.
00:41But experts are sounding the alarm.
00:44Some say sending out checks during full employment could fuel inflation.
00:48Others warn it might backfire and raise prices even more,
00:51since tariffs are already inflationary.
00:53So, will these checks ever come?
00:56For now, it's a big maybe.
00:58But with $100 billion already collected and more on the way,
01:02it's a story worth watching.
01:04Because when money talks, people listen.
