00:00We're taking in so much money with the tariffs now that it's such a pleasure.

00:05Without it, we wouldn't be able to help you.

00:08We're making a country, we're the richest country in the world now.

00:12And, you know, we have a big decision.

00:15Hopefully we're going to get the right decision.

00:18Such a big thing in the Supreme Court right now.

00:20We have a lot of bad people opposed to those people that hate our country.

00:25Other countries are involved, some real sleazebags that I know, political sleazebags.

00:29And they're trying to take that away from us.

00:34We have other methods, but they're not as powerful.

00:38They're not as quick.

00:40Some of the wars that I solved wouldn't have been solved using those methods.

00:44So it's a very important thing, the tariff.

00:45The decision of the Supreme Court is a very important thing.

00:49And, Scott, we can do it other ways, but it's slow and it's cumbersome.

00:55And it doesn't have the power, it doesn't have the national security power that,

00:59well, we have.

01:00So I hope we're going to be successful.

01:01That's all I can tell you.

01:02Austin, please.

01:03Thank you, John.

01:04First of all, President, thank you for the selection of Brooke Rollins as Secretary of Agriculture.

01:09That was a big first step.

01:13You want to keep her?

01:14Absolutely.

01:15Can I butt in and second that?

01:18She's not only her, but her staff does a tremendous job.

01:22I agree.

01:23Remember eggs?

01:23Remember when we came in and the people in the media, I'm going to be nice, people in the media

01:30were three days into offices here, right?

01:33They say egg prices are up like 90% more than that.

01:37And I said, I just got here.

01:38I didn't know about it.

01:39I just don't know.

01:40Anyway, she got those prices down to below what they were before.

01:45She's doing a great job.

01:46Now beef is starting to come down and some other things are starting to come down.

01:50Again, we inherited these problems, but we're getting them down.

01:53Go ahead, please.

01:54You're a fact-based decision maker and the egg issue is where I learned about her.

01:58She said we're not going to use a vaccine that doesn't work.

02:00We're going to develop a vaccine that does.

02:02And that is 100% what it takes, and so we have to make decisions based on facts.

02:07And now, President Trump, the trade issues, I want to thank you for exposing what other

02:12countries are doing to us.

02:13I want to mention one specifically for the benefit of Kevin and Scott.

02:16I hope they're paying attention to it, but this European Union deforestation regulation,

02:21where they are imposing on our landowners rules that were established for Brazil,

02:27and now they're telling the American farmer what they can and can't do on their own land

02:32through this European Union deforestation regulation.

02:34Now what does that tell you?

02:37Explain that.

02:37They are telling the American farmer that if their timber is cut and they are going to use

02:43that land for pasture land or for production agriculture, that they will not take the timber

02:47or the byproducts from the sale of that timber.

02:50And I have talked with James a little earlier about we need to make it clear to Europe, Mr. President.

02:58If you could give me a two-paragraph statement on that, I will give that to them,

03:03and they will do what they have to do.

03:05Yes, sir.

03:06We're always helping them, and they do this kind of stuff.

03:10You know, they pass little regulations that cost billions of dollars.

03:14It takes them two minutes to do it, they do it.

03:18Very tough, no good.

03:19You give me a couple of paragraphs or so.

03:22We'll have to do a lengthy study, and I'll get that changed.

03:25Let's do it, Zebari.
