01:32People that are China oriented.
01:35People that have business in China that want to rip us off and keep ripping us off.
01:40And the tariffs have stopped us.
01:43And not only China, other countries too.
01:47People from other countries like Canada and others, they sue us.
01:52Canada has ripped us off for years.

02:28I have the right to put tariffs on for national security purposes.
02:34Countries that have been ripping us off for years.
02:37You know what they were doing?
02:39Using tariffs.
02:41What a country.
02:42So sad.
02:44So just one year ago, under crooked Joe Biden, and he was crooked as hell.
