Costs are up

Time and time again, people are saying, I've had it.
So I think the way that you sustain this is by making clear what we want to do and putting
forward our plans.
And the first thing is, this president said he'd bring costs down on day one.
Well, he hasn't.
It's gone the opposite.
And we want to make sure people can afford houses, that people are able to pay the rent,
that people are going to be able to afford health care, and that they're going to be
able to get child care.
The second thing are these tariffs.
They are wreaking havoc on our economy.
And yet, he continues to persist.
The Supreme Court threw those tariffs out in a very clear decision involving conservative
justices and liberal justices.
But now he's still at it again.
And for things like my farmers, who said this is a perfect norm of ugly, this is really
hitting them and small businesses.
And the third and final thing that you talked about earlier is this war.
It is the gas prices, the diesel prices.
The fact that 30 percent of pneumonia, ammonia that you need for fertilizer and 50 percent
of urea that you need for fertilizer goes through the Straits of Hormuz for the rest
of the world.
Our farmers can't afford this already.
