BENNY JOHNSON (HOST): In the near term, I think there's going to be some higher prices on some things. I think in the long term, this is going to be the single greatest play for the American economy in our lifetimes. And the final thing I'll say on this before bringing in the great Corey Lewandowski is if the trade — if the trade is that I experience and you experience and we all experience some short-term pain in a 401(k) or in the market, money's liquid, man. [Unintelligible] losing money costs you absolutely nothing. Losing your country costs you everything.
Option B is to preserve this country and to strengthen it and to put up walls around this nation to make sure that my children have a future and are not taxed chattel for a globalist elite that view them as — view them as less worthy of a job and dignity than a Vietnamese peasant. Yeah, man. I'm going to take the second option any day. Please. I will gladly pay more for my iPhone. That is a very simple choice for me. There's plenty of plastic, pointless luxuries that we have in this country that ain't worth it. So I'm here for it, ladies and gentlemen. And I love — get me on the record — I love this wealth redistribution. That's what's — that is actually what's happening right now.
