Published | Video Starts at 05:56

We just saw a bunch of countries not going to send things to people in the United States anymore because of a change that happened through tariff law. You know, that's what's costing us. We are paying for tariffs in the end. So even though the federal government gets some of that revenue, it's our money because we're the end user. (05:56–06:04)
