Hello, everybody, and thank you for tuning in to the Liberty Report.

With us today, we have Chris Rosini, our co-host.

Chris, welcome to the program.

Happy Friday.

Great to be with you, Dr. Paul.

Very good.

Interesting things going on in the world.

We talk a lot about foreign policy, and we might make a mention of that, but what we're

really going to talk about

is what everybody else is talking about and worried about. And that's the economy. And what

and thunder are these terrorists on the market for? Is it going to make everybody happy? A few people

I see on TV said they're all happy. Well, they're going to help us. They're going to keep out

our competition. We're going to make a lot of money.

But I tell you what, I don't think there's a strong argument to promote tariffs in general because that's way too much government mischief as far as I'm concerned.

You know, one of the things I've been impressed with this last several days on what was going on. It was the amazing

power that was gravitated and has been in the hands of a president. You know, they've done a lot of

this. They tinker with tariffs. The Constitution gives a certain amount of authority. But I don't

think the founders ever dreamed that one president, all by himself, without really

consultation with the Congress, you know, issue orders dealing with trillions and trillions of

dollars being manipulated in the market to adjust the imbalance in the trade cycle and what's going on.

And also designed to, say, get an advantage, you know, over the other countries.

So this to me is utterly amazing.
