<v Speaker 1>always please to welcome with the fifty five PERC Morning Show,

22
00:01:02.359 --> 00:01:05.719
<v Speaker 1>Senator Rand Paul. Senator Paul, Welcome back, my friend. It's

23
00:01:05.719 --> 00:01:07.319
<v Speaker 1>always a pleasure to have you on the program.

24
00:01:08.159 --> 00:01:09.400
<v Speaker 3>Good morning, Brian, thanks for.

25
00:01:09.439 --> 00:01:11.280
<v Speaker 1>Having me and I guess you more than anyone, are

26
00:01:11.280 --> 00:01:14.280
<v Speaker 1>so disappointed that the Anthony Fauci Museum exhibit has been

27
00:01:14.280 --> 00:01:16.159
<v Speaker 1>canceled thanks to the work of dads.

28
00:01:16.959 --> 00:01:19.599
<v Speaker 3>Can't you imagine? And the thing is is, this kind

29
00:01:19.640 --> 00:01:22.519
<v Speaker 3>of craziness has been going on for decades and nobody's

30
00:01:22.560 --> 00:01:25.879
<v Speaker 3>pointed it out. Every administration comes in and just doesn't

31
00:01:25.959 --> 00:01:28.319
<v Speaker 3>know where to look and doesn't look hard enough. I've

32
00:01:28.319 --> 00:01:30.920
<v Speaker 3>been pointing it out for a decade, but they've been ignoring,

33
00:01:31.120 --> 00:01:33.599
<v Speaker 3>you know, the fact that now we've got Elon Musk's

34
00:01:33.640 --> 00:01:36.680
<v Speaker 3>help and the loudest and biggest microphone in the world,

35
00:01:37.120 --> 00:01:40.719
<v Speaker 3>and so it's coming to light and people are rightfully outraged.

36
00:01:41.159 --> 00:01:43.159
<v Speaker 1>And you know, the interesting thing about it, the most

37
00:01:43.200 --> 00:01:45.079
<v Speaker 1>one of the most interesting components of it is the

38
00:01:45.120 --> 00:01:49.159
<v Speaker 1>outrage expressed by the Democrats trying to defend the indefensible.

39
00:01:51.000 --> 00:01:53.079
<v Speaker 3>This is where they're so out of touch. Somebody wrote

40
00:01:53.079 --> 00:01:56.000
<v Speaker 3>an article the other day saying Trump takes every eighty

41
00:01:56.120 --> 00:01:58.560
<v Speaker 3>twenty issue an issue where eighty percent of the public

42
00:01:58.640 --> 00:02:02.359
<v Speaker 3>is outraged and percent is not, and the Democrats are

43
00:02:02.439 --> 00:02:05.040
<v Speaker 3>standing up for the twenty percent. On all of these issues,

44
00:02:05.079 --> 00:02:08.560
<v Speaker 3>like should boys play in girls sports? Almost nobody believes

45
00:02:08.599 --> 00:02:10.759
<v Speaker 3>that it's probably a ten percent issue, and the Democrats

46
00:02:10.800 --> 00:02:14.719
<v Speaker 3>are loudly supporting this. Should a thirteen year old be

47
00:02:14.759 --> 00:02:17.280
<v Speaker 3>able to make a decision him remove part of their

48
00:02:17.319 --> 00:02:21.319
<v Speaker 3>body parts against their parents' wishes, and the Democrats are

49
00:02:21.360 --> 00:02:23.159
<v Speaker 3>standing up for that as well. Should we have an

50
00:02:23.199 --> 00:02:27.360
<v Speaker 3>anti Anthony Fauci museum? They want to have that too.

51
00:02:27.400 --> 00:02:32.479
<v Speaker 3>They just their outrage is so misplaced because the American

52
00:02:32.520 --> 00:02:36.159
<v Speaker 3>people are frankly thinking most of this stuff is ludicrous.

53
00:02:36.719 --> 00:02:39.879
<v Speaker 1>They do, and then I guess it's illustrative of the

54
00:02:39.960 --> 00:02:44.520
<v Speaker 1>impossible reality of trying to follow each and every allocation

55
00:02:44.879 --> 00:02:48.479
<v Speaker 1>out to every non governmental organization that is a recipient

56
00:02:48.520 --> 00:02:51.280
<v Speaker 1>of this, regardless of how stupid the program is. I mean,

57
00:02:52.280 --> 00:02:55.280
<v Speaker 1>if fifty five thousand dollars for a climate change presentation

58
00:02:55.599 --> 00:03:00.479
<v Speaker 1>in you know, for an LGBTQ journalist, now nobody look

59
00:03:00.479 --> 00:03:03.080
<v Speaker 1>in to see how the money was actually spent. That's

60
00:03:03.120 --> 00:03:06.319
<v Speaker 1>like the tail end of the receipt. The receipt's bad enough,

61
00:03:06.360 --> 00:03:08.879
<v Speaker 1>the allocation's bad enough. But didn't that go to pad

62
00:03:09.000 --> 00:03:12.560
<v Speaker 1>someone's fat five oh one to three c salary.

63
00:03:13.280 --> 00:03:16.319
<v Speaker 3>Or went to a convention in Los Angles or something.

64
00:03:16.400 --> 00:03:19.479
<v Speaker 3>I mean, it's just it's just such an insult to

65
00:03:19.520 --> 00:03:22.280
<v Speaker 3>the hard working people of America. And this is going,

66
00:03:22.479 --> 00:03:24.680
<v Speaker 3>you know, this bridge is any kind of party affiliation.

67
00:03:24.840 --> 00:03:27.520
<v Speaker 3>If you are a working person in America, you are

68
00:03:27.560 --> 00:03:30.159
<v Speaker 3>outraised that your tax dollars are going to this. And

69
00:03:30.280 --> 00:03:34.120
<v Speaker 3>it's also why the uh, you know, extreme action of

70
00:03:34.199 --> 00:03:37.560
<v Speaker 3>closing down USID completely locking the door and pushing all

71
00:03:37.599 --> 00:03:40.960
<v Speaker 3>the people out is necessary because they've been using this

72
00:03:41.080 --> 00:03:45.120
<v Speaker 3>as their own fiefdom for for decades to not spread

73
00:03:45.120 --> 00:03:48.879
<v Speaker 3>diplomacy and not spread American will to spread you know,

74
00:03:49.400 --> 00:03:53.080
<v Speaker 3>you know, ideology on sex and gender that really some

75
00:03:53.240 --> 00:03:56.639
<v Speaker 3>in other countries, particularly some conservative Muslim countries, aren't too

76
00:03:56.680 --> 00:03:59.159
<v Speaker 3>interested in this. It actually repels some of those countries.

77
00:03:59.199 --> 00:04:02.759
<v Speaker 3>It really shouldn't be part of diplomacy. I mean, spending

78
00:04:02.800 --> 00:04:07.400
<v Speaker 3>three million dollars on girl centric climate change education in Brazil,

79
00:04:07.960 --> 00:04:09.960
<v Speaker 3>what kind of person thought that that was a good

80
00:04:10.039 --> 00:04:11.960
<v Speaker 3>use of our money, and.

81
00:04:11.919 --> 00:04:14.719
<v Speaker 1>Who thinks girls are more impacted by if climate change

82
00:04:14.759 --> 00:04:17.800
<v Speaker 1>even exists? Climate change anyhow, well.

83
00:04:17.639 --> 00:04:20.040
<v Speaker 3>It also is insulting to girls because what are they

84
00:04:20.040 --> 00:04:21.879
<v Speaker 3>going to do? Have barbiees talking to each other that

85
00:04:21.920 --> 00:04:24.480
<v Speaker 3>girls can only listen if barbies are involved. I mean,

86
00:04:24.480 --> 00:04:32.160
<v Speaker 3>it's very sexist, it's incredibly you know, unreasonable. So yeah,

87
00:04:32.279 --> 00:04:33.680
<v Speaker 3>but it just goes on and on. I mean, we

88
00:04:33.720 --> 00:04:38.680
<v Speaker 3>spend four point eight million on social media influencers in Ukraine.

89
00:04:39.800 --> 00:04:42.319
<v Speaker 3>You know, we sent a bunch of Ukrainian fashion designers

90
00:04:42.319 --> 00:04:46.839
<v Speaker 3>to the Paris Fashion Show. It just doesn't end. And

91
00:04:46.920 --> 00:04:49.759
<v Speaker 3>with every new outrage, though, I think the people are saying,

92
00:04:49.959 --> 00:04:52.839
<v Speaker 3>I think we chose Wiley wisely, and the whole thing

93
00:04:52.879 --> 00:04:57.279
<v Speaker 3>does need to be disrupted. And ultimately, though Congress have

94
00:04:57.399 --> 00:05:01.279
<v Speaker 3>to do something. The President can and Elon and all

95
00:05:01.360 --> 00:05:04.480
<v Speaker 3>that gang can temporarily stop stuff, but eventually the commerce

96
00:05:04.519 --> 00:05:06.800
<v Speaker 3>has to stand up and say, we'll accept the money

97
00:05:06.839 --> 00:05:09.879
<v Speaker 3>back for the treasury through like what's called a recision package.

98
00:05:10.120 --> 00:05:12.720
<v Speaker 3>We'll quit spending it, and ultimately you just have to

99
00:05:12.720 --> 00:05:15.560
<v Speaker 3>spend less. You can't expect to have better people in government,

100
00:05:15.959 --> 00:05:17.639
<v Speaker 3>you know, because there may be people on the right

101
00:05:17.680 --> 00:05:19.399
<v Speaker 3>there as bad as people on the left, as far

102
00:05:19.399 --> 00:05:21.439
<v Speaker 3>as where they want to spend the money. You have

103
00:05:21.519 --> 00:05:24.160
<v Speaker 3>to give the agencies less money. This is what I've

104
00:05:24.160 --> 00:05:26.319
<v Speaker 3>been saying forever. It's not a matter of well, this

105
00:05:26.399 --> 00:05:28.959
<v Speaker 3>is wasteful because a bad person spent it. No, if

106
00:05:29.399 --> 00:05:31.879
<v Speaker 3>you gave them a billion dollars last year, you need

107
00:05:31.920 --> 00:05:33.959
<v Speaker 3>to give them less than a billion dollars this year.

108
00:05:34.199 --> 00:05:36.920
<v Speaker 3>You need to give them eight hundred million, twenty percent less,

109
00:05:37.160 --> 00:05:39.079
<v Speaker 3>and then they need to figure out, you know, what

110
00:05:39.519 --> 00:05:42.040
<v Speaker 3>ends up going away is the worst of the worst stuff.

111
00:05:42.439 --> 00:05:44.319
<v Speaker 3>But you have to give people less money. That almost

112
00:05:44.360 --> 00:05:48.240
<v Speaker 3>never happens because the big spenders in both parties, you know,

113
00:05:48.360 --> 00:05:50.839
<v Speaker 3>are clamoring for more of your money. I mean, look,

114
00:05:50.879 --> 00:05:53.560
<v Speaker 3>the first package the Republicans are putting forward right now

115
00:05:53.639 --> 00:05:56.600
<v Speaker 3>is a three hundred and twenty five billion dollars spending

116
00:05:56.639 --> 00:05:59.480
<v Speaker 3>package they're going to spend, and they're going to increase

117
00:05:59.480 --> 00:06:01.920
<v Speaker 3>spending by three hundred and twenty five million dollars in

118
00:06:01.959 --> 00:06:03.000
<v Speaker 3>their first package.

119
00:06:03.519 --> 00:06:05.360
<v Speaker 1>Well at one of the areas of government that I

120
00:06:05.360 --> 00:06:08.319
<v Speaker 1>hope that Elon Musk and his career unleashed on. And

121
00:06:08.360 --> 00:06:10.680
<v Speaker 1>I've been a critic of the size of the American

122
00:06:10.720 --> 00:06:13.920
<v Speaker 1>military budget. Not the American military, but eight hundred and

123
00:06:13.920 --> 00:06:17.240
<v Speaker 1>thirty or forty billion dollars annually, biggest expenditure out of

124
00:06:17.279 --> 00:06:20.800
<v Speaker 1>government beyond payment of our interest on the national debt.

125
00:06:21.079 --> 00:06:24.360
<v Speaker 1>You know, Senator Paul, that there is a gob a

126
00:06:24.480 --> 00:06:28.199
<v Speaker 1>heapload of fraud, wasted abuse in that multi billion dollar

127
00:06:28.240 --> 00:06:29.199
<v Speaker 1>spending package.

128
00:06:29.759 --> 00:06:31.720
<v Speaker 3>Did you see the interview with John Stewart and that

129
00:06:32.480 --> 00:06:35.959
<v Speaker 3>ridiculous woman. I think she was a Pentagon apologist, and

130
00:06:36.000 --> 00:06:38.879
<v Speaker 3>she was saying, well, you know, the audit doesn't find

131
00:06:39.040 --> 00:06:42.240
<v Speaker 3>waste and fraud, and you know, Stuart was won. He said, well,

132
00:06:42.240 --> 00:06:44.759
<v Speaker 3>if it can't be audited, doesn't that implied that there's

133
00:06:44.800 --> 00:06:47.360
<v Speaker 3>waste in fraud And she just didn't seem to get it.

134
00:06:47.439 --> 00:06:49.639
<v Speaker 3>She was so arrogant and didn't seem to get it.

135
00:06:50.079 --> 00:06:52.920
<v Speaker 3>And we still to this day have not had a

136
00:06:52.959 --> 00:06:55.879
<v Speaker 3>full audit of the Pentagon. So I've been for years

137
00:06:55.920 --> 00:06:58.680
<v Speaker 3>on board with the built audit the FED. But I've

138
00:06:58.680 --> 00:07:01.000
<v Speaker 3>also been on board with the build audit the Pentagon.

139
00:07:02.079 --> 00:07:06.199
<v Speaker 3>But instead of saying, well, maybe we should hold the

140
00:07:06.240 --> 00:07:08.600
<v Speaker 3>line on spending with the military so they can find

141
00:07:08.639 --> 00:07:11.279
<v Speaker 3>the waste and be forced to find the waste, the

142
00:07:11.959 --> 00:07:14.600
<v Speaker 3>you know, the Hawks up here are adding one hundred

143
00:07:14.600 --> 00:07:17.519
<v Speaker 3>and fifty billion dollars in new military spending, and that's

144
00:07:17.560 --> 00:07:19.839
<v Speaker 3>on top of a three percent increase. So you just

145
00:07:19.920 --> 00:07:22.680
<v Speaker 3>got a three percent increase, and now they're getting another

146
00:07:22.680 --> 00:07:24.560
<v Speaker 3>one hundred and fifty billion added to that. And the

147
00:07:24.560 --> 00:07:28.439
<v Speaker 3>Republicans that are for this are gleefully rubbing their hands together, saying,

148
00:07:28.480 --> 00:07:30.399
<v Speaker 3>we get to give it to military without giving it

149
00:07:30.399 --> 00:07:31.120
<v Speaker 3>to welfare at this.

150
00:07:31.120 --> 00:07:33.680
<v Speaker 4>Time because we don't have to have the Democrats votes,

151
00:07:34.079 --> 00:07:36.480
<v Speaker 4>but they need the Republican votes, and I've told them, frankly,

152
00:07:37.399 --> 00:07:40.040
<v Speaker 4>I'm not voting to increase spending by three hundred billion dollars,

153
00:07:40.279 --> 00:07:41.560
<v Speaker 4>particularly if it has a.

154
00:07:41.519 --> 00:07:44.000
<v Speaker 3>Fake cut, you know, if there's a fake pay for.

155
00:07:45.040 --> 00:07:48.199
<v Speaker 3>What they're talking about as a pay for is ending

156
00:07:48.319 --> 00:07:52.240
<v Speaker 3>Biden's forgiveness of student loans. The problem is is that

157
00:07:52.319 --> 00:07:54.879
<v Speaker 3>never went into effect, so it's not really a savings.

158
00:07:54.920 --> 00:07:57.839
<v Speaker 3>The course ruled it illegal, it never went into effect,

159
00:07:57.839 --> 00:08:00.240
<v Speaker 3>and Trump was going to cancel it. So how how

160
00:08:00.240 --> 00:08:02.639
<v Speaker 3>in the world is that in actual savings? You know

161
00:08:02.680 --> 00:08:05.959
<v Speaker 3>what it is is it's money that you know, we

162
00:08:05.959 --> 00:08:07.959
<v Speaker 3>were going to lose if Biden got his way, but

163
00:08:08.000 --> 00:08:10.040
<v Speaker 3>it never happened, and then they can say, oh, well,

164
00:08:10.079 --> 00:08:12.560
<v Speaker 3>that all sets the three hundred billion dollars in new spending,

165
00:08:12.920 --> 00:08:15.279
<v Speaker 3>and that's why the debt keeps getting bigger and bigger.

166
00:08:15.279 --> 00:08:18.639
<v Speaker 3>But you know, the ten year estimate for interest is

167
00:08:18.680 --> 00:08:21.839
<v Speaker 3>fourteen billion dollars in interest over the next ten years.

168
00:08:22.199 --> 00:08:25.680
<v Speaker 3>I mean fourteen trillion. I'm not not a billion. Fourteen trillion.

169
00:08:26.399 --> 00:08:29.360
<v Speaker 1>So lost a few zeros there on that one sentator.

170
00:08:29.920 --> 00:08:31.839
<v Speaker 1>It's easy to do when you're talking about this kind

171
00:08:31.879 --> 00:08:36.399
<v Speaker 1>of money. A billion dollars is nothing anymore, one thousand

172
00:08:36.519 --> 00:08:40.399
<v Speaker 1>million dollars. They just spit it out like it's nothing anyhow.

173
00:08:40.440 --> 00:08:42.279
<v Speaker 1>You know, I have I have an idea, and I'm

174
00:08:42.279 --> 00:08:44.039
<v Speaker 1>not quite sure if it would work, But someone's got

175
00:08:44.039 --> 00:08:45.720
<v Speaker 1>a ferret this out. There has to be a number

176
00:08:45.759 --> 00:08:48.240
<v Speaker 1>of people assigned to the task of going through all

177
00:08:48.360 --> 00:08:50.279
<v Speaker 1>of the following the money show and figure out where

178
00:08:50.279 --> 00:08:52.159
<v Speaker 1>it is and what happens. How about turning loose the

179
00:08:52.200 --> 00:08:54.919
<v Speaker 1>eighty seven thousand new IRACE agents and rather than having

180
00:08:54.919 --> 00:08:57.799
<v Speaker 1>them audit the American people, have them look inwardly and

181
00:08:57.879 --> 00:08:59.200
<v Speaker 1>audit the federal government.

182
00:09:00.399 --> 00:09:02.440
<v Speaker 3>Yeah. I think that would be a good idea actually,

183
00:09:02.480 --> 00:09:04.679
<v Speaker 3>because they they've never been able to master it. Him.

184
00:09:04.759 --> 00:09:07.840
<v Speaker 3>This is kind of what Doja's doing. And you have

185
00:09:07.919 --> 00:09:10.759
<v Speaker 3>to see who the Democrats are on this. The Democrats

186
00:09:10.799 --> 00:09:13.279
<v Speaker 3>have Docks one of the young men. They've exposed his

187
00:09:13.440 --> 00:09:16.879
<v Speaker 3>name and his address, and they're trying to, you know,

188
00:09:16.960 --> 00:09:20.039
<v Speaker 3>get public outrage and perhaps even violence to stop this

189
00:09:20.159 --> 00:09:23.000
<v Speaker 3>young man from helping. But think of the genius of

190
00:09:23.039 --> 00:09:25.879
<v Speaker 3>this young man. He went to somewhere University of Nebraska,

191
00:09:26.519 --> 00:09:29.399
<v Speaker 3>and they have these scrolls that are a couple thousand

192
00:09:29.480 --> 00:09:31.639
<v Speaker 3>years old. I think they're from Israel and they were

193
00:09:31.639 --> 00:09:35.000
<v Speaker 3>burned maybe when the you know, the Roman siege of

194
00:09:35.039 --> 00:09:38.480
<v Speaker 3>sixty eight ADS at two thousand years old. They were burned,

195
00:09:38.480 --> 00:09:40.559
<v Speaker 3>but they're intact and if you take them, if you

196
00:09:40.600 --> 00:09:43.519
<v Speaker 3>try to unroll them, they fall apart with an MRI.

197
00:09:43.679 --> 00:09:46.360
<v Speaker 3>They took MRI of this, they still couldn't figure out

198
00:09:46.360 --> 00:09:49.840
<v Speaker 3>how to read them. He developed a program for automated

199
00:09:50.120 --> 00:09:53.360
<v Speaker 3>artificial intelligence, and he can. He has discovered how to

200
00:09:53.399 --> 00:09:55.320
<v Speaker 3>read these scrolls that are rolled up and burned in

201
00:09:55.399 --> 00:09:58.080
<v Speaker 3>two thousand years old. And that's the kind of genius

202
00:09:58.080 --> 00:10:00.960
<v Speaker 3>that is actually now looking at our federal money to

203
00:10:01.039 --> 00:10:03.720
<v Speaker 3>try to find savings. And what do the Democrats do?

204
00:10:03.759 --> 00:10:06.639
<v Speaker 3>They attack his character and It's like, we should be

205
00:10:06.720 --> 00:10:10.120
<v Speaker 3>happy that America still is producing geniuses like this, and

206
00:10:10.159 --> 00:10:12.879
<v Speaker 3>we should be lauding the young man for coming in.

207
00:10:12.960 --> 00:10:15.159
<v Speaker 3>I think Elon zaid, most of them are not being

208
00:10:15.200 --> 00:10:18.360
<v Speaker 3>paid any kind of real way. They're mostly doing it

209
00:10:18.399 --> 00:10:19.080
<v Speaker 3>for their country.

210
00:10:19.279 --> 00:10:21.720
<v Speaker 1>It's a beautiful thing to behold, that is. And you know,

211
00:10:21.720 --> 00:10:24.200
<v Speaker 1>these are the critics that they criticize them because of

212
00:10:24.240 --> 00:10:25.919
<v Speaker 1>their youth, in spite of the fact that they are

213
00:10:25.960 --> 00:10:29.919
<v Speaker 1>brilliant young people, brilliant at computer science and understanding coding

214
00:10:29.919 --> 00:10:32.000
<v Speaker 1>and artificial intelligence. And yet they're the part of the

215
00:10:32.000 --> 00:10:34.480
<v Speaker 1>advocates for sixteen year olds getting the right to vote.

216
00:10:35.480 --> 00:10:39.200
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, it's it's insane, but I think it's backfiring them

217
00:10:39.240 --> 00:10:41.919
<v Speaker 5>on them, because you know what they're doing is, you know,

218
00:10:41.960 --> 00:10:44.240
<v Speaker 5>Trump is pushing forward issues that eighty percent of the

219
00:10:44.240 --> 00:10:47.159
<v Speaker 5>public support him on, and the Democrats are clinging to

220
00:10:47.240 --> 00:10:51.840
<v Speaker 5>support for issues that have very small, loud but very

221
00:10:51.840 --> 00:10:52.879
<v Speaker 5>small minorities.

222
00:10:53.240 --> 00:10:55.519
<v Speaker 1>If you'll allow one moment additional time, Senator Paul, I

223
00:10:55.600 --> 00:10:58.279
<v Speaker 1>just wanted to get your reaction on the Trump's tariffs,

224
00:10:58.320 --> 00:11:01.159
<v Speaker 1>most notably the most recent ones on aluminum steel.

225
00:11:02.600 --> 00:11:05.360
<v Speaker 3>Well teriffs are taxes and anytimes you put a tax

226
00:11:05.399 --> 00:11:07.120
<v Speaker 3>on something, you get less of it. So if you

227
00:11:07.200 --> 00:11:10.559
<v Speaker 3>tax trade, you'll get less trade. The trade allows the

228
00:11:10.600 --> 00:11:13.919
<v Speaker 3>average American consumer to save thousands of dollars a year.

229
00:11:14.600 --> 00:11:16.879
<v Speaker 3>So you know, over the years, as people began to

230
00:11:16.919 --> 00:11:19.320
<v Speaker 3>shop at Walmart, you know, it was sad, but the

231
00:11:19.360 --> 00:11:22.039
<v Speaker 3>mom and pop hardware store went away, But each individual

232
00:11:22.080 --> 00:11:24.360
<v Speaker 3>that shopped at Walmart was saving about one thousand dollars

233
00:11:24.440 --> 00:11:27.240
<v Speaker 3>a year. So what tariffs will do, if there's enough

234
00:11:27.279 --> 00:11:30.000
<v Speaker 3>of them, is everybody will spend you know, while we

235
00:11:30.039 --> 00:11:32.759
<v Speaker 3>have about one thousand dollars less rich. A good way

236
00:11:32.799 --> 00:11:34.399
<v Speaker 3>to look at this is you say, well, I want

237
00:11:34.399 --> 00:11:37.279
<v Speaker 3>to help the steel industry. So for every worker that

238
00:11:37.360 --> 00:11:39.679
<v Speaker 3>works in a steel industry, there are eighty workers who

239
00:11:39.759 --> 00:11:43.159
<v Speaker 3>work in a steel buying industry. So in our state,

240
00:11:43.360 --> 00:11:45.960
<v Speaker 3>we have fence manufacturers that buy a lot of steel.

241
00:11:46.279 --> 00:11:48.840
<v Speaker 3>That will mean less income for those people and less

242
00:11:48.840 --> 00:11:52.360
<v Speaker 3>wages for those workers. We have automobile industry, they buy

243
00:11:52.360 --> 00:11:56.000
<v Speaker 3>a lot of steel. We have cement industry, concrete industry,

244
00:11:56.039 --> 00:11:58.639
<v Speaker 3>we build houses. All of those things will be more

245
00:11:58.679 --> 00:12:02.000
<v Speaker 3>expensive because of teriffs. Now, some people will benefit. If

246
00:12:02.000 --> 00:12:04.639
<v Speaker 3>you're one of the thousand workers at a steel plan

247
00:12:04.759 --> 00:12:07.840
<v Speaker 3>in some state, you will benefit by tariffs, but if

248
00:12:07.879 --> 00:12:10.240
<v Speaker 3>you add up what it does to the economy by

249
00:12:10.279 --> 00:12:15.120
<v Speaker 3>the time they respond, it ends up being a significant

250
00:12:15.720 --> 00:12:20.799
<v Speaker 3>reduction in income for everybody that we do a lot

251
00:12:20.799 --> 00:12:22.720
<v Speaker 3>of trade with. We do a lot of steel trade

252
00:12:22.759 --> 00:12:24.799
<v Speaker 3>with Canda, we do a lot of lumber trade. Young

253
00:12:24.840 --> 00:12:27.399
<v Speaker 3>people are having trouble buying houses. If you put a

254
00:12:27.440 --> 00:12:30.679
<v Speaker 3>twenty five percent tariff on steel in Canada and they

255
00:12:30.720 --> 00:12:34.000
<v Speaker 3>reciprocate or on their lumber, all houses are just going

256
00:12:34.080 --> 00:12:35.960
<v Speaker 3>to go up and be more expensive and harder for

257
00:12:36.039 --> 00:12:36.799
<v Speaker 3>young people to get.

258
00:12:37.279 --> 00:12:40.240
<v Speaker 1>Senator and Paul, appreciate your words, Appreciate your opportunity to

259
00:12:40.240 --> 00:12:42.120
