SEAN HANNITY (HOST): Now the only other option is that we continue to go along with what the president inherited and what has been a consistent US policy for 50, 60 years, which is these countries unfairly tariff American products and shut out American markets, and we continue to get ripped off and abused and taken advantage of. Is there --I think it is already, in many ways, worked out better than I would have anticipated.
I didn't anticipate $8 trillion in commitment and spending for manufacturing and factories and auto plants in America. I didn't factor that in when the president was first talking about that. But that money came in. Those commitments came in fast and furious.
And, you know, it just again and, nobody ever wants to hear the word be patient. Just be patient. Be patient. However, we really don't have any choice. It's going to take time.
