00:00When President Trump last addressed the BRT, when he was on the campaign trail, his big

00:04push was on tax cuts.

00:06He's going there today as he's proposing tax hikes in the form of tariffs.

00:11Not true.

00:12And I'm curious for why he's prioritizing that over the tax cuts.

00:16He's actually not implementing tax hikes.

00:19Tariffs are a tax hike on foreign countries that again have been ripping us off.

00:24Tariffs are a tax cut for the American people.

00:27And the President is a staunch advocate of tax cuts.

00:29As you know, he campaigned on no taxes on tips, no taxes on overtime, no taxes on Social

00:36Security benefits.

00:37He is committed to all three of those things, and he expects Congress to pass them later

00:41this year.

00:42I'm sorry, have you ever paid a tariff?

00:43Because I have.

00:44They don't get charged on foreign companies, they get charged on the importers.

00:48And ultimately, when we have fair and balanced trade, which the American people have not

00:53seen in decades, as I said at the beginning, revenues will stay here, wages will go up,

00:59and our country will be made wealthy again.

01:01And I think it's insulting that you're trying to test my knowledge of economics and the

01:06decisions that this President has made.

01:08I now regret giving a question to the Associated Press.
