0:00.0	I want to give you a very important update on what's going on with tariff negotiations.
0:07.1	This is a story that the media is not going to want to tell you about because of the number that I'm about to disclose to you.
0:15.0	You may remember the other day, there was reports out that there were 50 countries that had lined up to negotiate their tariffs to the Trump administration.

1:26.6	We're in a two-minute
1:28.2	offense.
1:29.2	And the two-minute offense is pushing, as you've seen, the reconciliation bill through

1:38.8	Now in the trade policy, the whole point of the trade policy is to address the national
