00:00I'm sorry, have you ever paid a tariff?
00:02Because I have.
00:03They don't get charged on foreign companies, they get charged on the importers.
00:07And ultimately, when we have fair and balanced trade, which the American people have not
00:12seen in decades, as I said at the beginning, revenues will stay here, wages will go up,
00:18and our country will be made wealthy again, and I think it's insulting that you're trying
00:22to test my knowledge of economics and the decisions that this president has made.
00:27I now regret giving a question to the Associated Press.
00:29Mary.
