0:00.0 | Hey guys, we recorded the following conversation right before President Trump came out with an |
0:05.4 | unexpected announcement that he was pausing some tariffs that were going into effect or had |
0:10.8 | gone into effect Wednesday morning. We still have some other tariffs that are still in place. |
