00:00So how long do you anticipate this tariff chaos is going to be going on?
00:0430 days, 60 days, 90 days?
00:09Well, first of all, Jake, thank you for having me.
00:10I think it's really important to realize that last Wednesday was when the president announced
00:16this new American order, the new American economic plan.
00:20We're now two days in, right?
00:21You've got two days of data.
00:23Everyone, especially on your side, on the left, is freaking out.
00:26I'm not on the left.
00:27But at the end of the day, listen, this whole concept—all right, Jake, thank you—this
00:32whole concept is about rebuilding an American economy around American goods, around American
00:37industry.
00:38We do already live under a tariff regime in this country, but it's the tariff regime of
00:43China, of Mexico, of Brazil, of Australia, of countries that Mexico won't take our corn,
00:48Australia won't take our beef.
00:50The country of Honduras takes more pork than the entire European Union does American pork,
00:55I should say.
00:56So from our farming and ranching perspective, which is what I'm focused on, but happy to
00:59talk about anything, that it has to—it is time for a change.
01:03And that's what this president evoked last Wednesday.
01:07So I think we'll see, in short order, a really positive outcome from this.
01:11We already have 50—5-0—50 countries that have come to the table over the last few days,
01:17over the last weeks, that are willing and desperate to talk to us.
01:20We are the economic engine of the world.
01:23And it's finally time that someone—President Trump—stood up for America.
