00:00Anyone who says there may be a little bit of pain before we get things right need to
00:06talk about farmers who are one crop away from bankruptcy.
00:09They don't have time.
00:11So we've got to be crisp on this implementation, otherwise we can do damage that's irreparable
00:16to farmers.
00:17The President has admitted tariffs will create pain for some businesses, and I think Wisconsin
00:21will be particularly hard hit with all the manufacturing and agricultural interests.
00:25He's used tariffs in the past effectively to get nations to do what they should have
00:29done anyway.
00:30Right now, I'll give him the benefit of the doubt, but I'm concerned.
00:32We've already heard from some of our beef processors and popcorn exporters that they're
00:38losing some market share in Europe, so it is concerning.
00:41And I'm all for fair trade, reciprocal tariffs, but I think in the end a trade war doesn't
00:46help anybody.
