like, i'm worried. i'm worried about the things that i love being. >> once again, i just have to ask, can we not make any new things? but anyway. >> scott. >> you know, i put a lot of thought into this tonight and i don't it feels like snow white should be remade. i feel. like nobody has done this lately. it came out in 1937, and i just feel like it's time that someone actually tried to do a remake of snow white. it feels like it would be highly successful for the company that owns the intellectual property, and if they were to do it properly, i think they'd make a bajillion dollars. so i'm going to go with snow white. >> you know, well played soft side, scott. i didn't know that. yeah, great film. i think it could be done. could be done. >> the live action stuff i think is is very tricky. it's hard to make that stuff work with classic. so that's that's all i got to say about that. and thank you for watching news night. you can catch me anytime on your favorite social media platforms, instagram and tiktok.

cnn's coverage continues next. >> good morning and. >> welcome to all of you watching us here in the united states, canada and around the world. i'm kim brunhuber. it's friday, april 4th, 4 a.m. here in atlanta. straight ahead on early start. >> it's a sick patient that went through an operation on liberation day. >> the first full. >> day of donald. trump's so-called economic. >> liberation saw global markets plunge. >> america's got. >> to stop being exploited. and then. and only then, will. >> donald trump make a deal with each country. >> not the end of the day. it is those who are watching. >> us right now. >> that will be suffering from these tariffs. >> he shocked the people and caused chaos across all fields. >> the constitutional court. >> has ruled in. >> favor of. removing impeached president yoon suk yeol from office, effective immediately.

global markets are tumbling for the second consecutive day, following donald trump's far reaching new tariffs on all u.s. imports. here's a look at u.s. futures right now. all down. as you can see at the moment across the atlantic, european markets opened a short time ago. the major averages are all down. meanwhile, markets in asia fell again today. hong kong's hang seng stock index, japan's nikkei, the seoul, kospi and australian markets are all down. now, all of this follows the first full day of donald trump's so-called economic liberation day global markets, losing trillions of dollars in value, falling u.s. dollar with allies and foes alike, planning retaliation. and despite dire predictions of a looming global trade war, the u.s. president says he believes all is going well. trump downplayed wall street's losses and suggested he's open to negotiating tariff relief. now, some countries, including america's allies, are

beginning to retaliate by imposing their own countermeasures to strike back at the u.s. others say retaliation is on the way. despite this, the president's commerce secretary says the administration won't change course. listen to this. >> the president is not going to back off. america's got to stop being exploited, and you're going to see america prosper. and then, and only then will donald trump make a deal with each country. >> so none of this is going over well in europe. the european commission president says the e.u. is finalizing its first round of countermeasures, and the french president is calling the tariffs brutal and unfounded. emmanuel macron insisted on european solidarity and suggested firms suspend investment in the united states. meanwhile, the german chancellor warns the trump tariffs are fundamentally wrong and will cause harm around the world. all right. for more international reaction, i want to bring in cnn's hanako montgomery live in tokyo. and our fred pleitgen in berlin. fred, i'll start with

you. so the european markets are just opening up, but so far, the general reaction in the region seems to be one of surprise and concern. what more are you hearing? >> yeah, it's certainly bad. and i think you guys just had the xetra dax, which just opened a couple of minutes ago there on the board. obviously opening in the red once again, just like yesterday was a pretty catastrophic day in the german markets. and of course, here, if we look at germany, first and foremost, it's the auto industry that the government here and the people here are certainly very worried about. and they're one of the things that we have to keep in mind is that, first of all, the tariffs aren't just 20%, but it's 25%. and this hits europe's largest economy at a time when it's already struggling, when the country's already been in recession, and the auto industry here specifically is having a lot of trouble, especially with the asian markets as well. and to then get hit by these new tariffs that, of course, are much tougher for the auto industry than for most other industries, where as far as trade between the eu and the united states is concerned, is

definitely something that has a lot of people here in this country worried. on the other hand, one of the things that we do see in situations like this, when the europe gets put under pressure by the united states, is that european solidarity does come, start coming through. one of the folks i want you to listen to is actually the british foreign secretary, because, of course, despite brexit, the brits are also here on the european continent as well. let's have a listen. >> we have. >> been. >> absolutely clear that. >> all options are on the. table as we ensure the national interest of the british people, who will be very concerned at this time about how this affects the bottom line for them. >> all options on the table there from the british foreign secretary, similar things that we're hearing from the european union. kim, one of the reasons why the europeans are so angry

about these tariffs is that they say, yes, there is a trade surplus that europe has with the united states as far as goods is concerned, with the u.s. importing more than it exports to europe. but they say as far as the services industry is concerned, like for instance, companies like meta, like for instance, companies like google there there is a trade deficit that the europeans have where the u.s. is obviously exporting a lot more to europe than the other way around. and so therefore the europeans are saying those are some of the companies in the service sector that they might target if there are countermeasures. i think one of the things that we've seen crystallize, though, kim, over the last couple of, i would say half a day or so, is that the europeans are talking about possible retaliation, but they are talking about negotiations first. so they want to see if they can work that out. but at the same time, they do say they have 450 million fairly wealthy consumers here on the european continent, and they can certainly leverage that in any sort of trade conflict with the united states. >> kim trump himself has said directly that he expects countries to negotiate, and this

will give them a the u.s. a strong hand in that. i want to go to hanako. so the asian markets, they continued their slide today, all closing down significantly for the second day. so take me through what the climate is like for people living in the region following this dramatic drop. >> yeah. of course, kim, i mean, as you described, there are stock markets are still reeling from the latest u.s. tariff hikes. i mean, if you take a look at the benchmark nikkei 225, in japan, for example, that's on track to record the largest losses in a week since 2020. the pandemic. and i mean, kim, as you just described there, asia, of course, is still reeling there very much in shock about the u.s. tariff hikes. and really, it seems as though countries are trying to figure out just the ways in which they can engage the united states in potentially lowering tariffs. and of course, across the region, we saw very massive tariff hikes, but southeast asia in particular seems to be pretty

hard hit. we're seeing in vietnam, for example, 46% tariff hikes, cambodia, 49% tariffs. and of course, for people in the region, that's particularly concerning because of the potential impact this could cause for their domestic economy. here's what one garment worker from cambodia said about the potential concerns here. >> i want the u.s. to reduce the tariff on the country, and i want the factory to give me more overtime work so workers can make more money. with the introduction of these tariffs. if the factory shuts down, we'll all die because we can't afford to live with high costs from the rent and all kinds of goods and food to. >> i mean, very real fears here, kim, about just how high these tariffs are for countries in southeast asia and what kind of impact they will have within their countries. now, i just also want to point out here that, of course, in vietnam, for example, about a third of of the country's gdp comes from u.s.

exports. and in cambodia, more than a third of the country's exports actually go to the united states. so when these tariffs potentially come into place, they could spell a lot of trouble for these two nations. now, kim, also, i've spoken to a couple of experts about just why we're seeing such high tariffs for southeast asia in particular. and the reason does seem to be that in recent years, a lot of international companies, companies like apple and nike, for example, have been moving production to this part of the world from china in order to avoid the existing levies imposed on china during trump's first presidency. it's much cheaper to do business now in this part of the world. but again, it seems as though there's really no escaping trump's tariffs right now. and as you kind of mentioned there, kim, right now, of course, these countries seem to be trying to engage the u.s. president in some kind of talks, hoping to just kind of lower the temperature and hoping to soften the blow of these tariffs. but whether that works. i mean, only really time will tell. but of course, for these countries, they they do hope they can

engage in diplomacy. >> kim. absolutely. so many countries roiled in chaos right now. hanako montgomery in tokyo. fred pleitgen in berlin. want to thank you both. a ruling from south korea's constitutional court leads to dancing in the streets of seoul. what the court decided about the country's embattled president will have that straight ahead. plus, vladimir putin's special envoy now says the trump administration understands russia. we'll talk about what that means. and a plan is in the works for israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu to come to the u.s. we'll look at when president trump says that visit will happen. that's all coming up. stay with us. >> feeling anxious? >> i don't know what's going on. don't worry. put your feet up. >> don't panic. >> we can help you cope. >> it's called disassociation. >> it's all on fire. did you not find. >> that comforting? >> have i got news for you? >> tomorrow at 9:00. >> on cnn. >> let's start the bidding on $5 million. thank you. sir.

>> returning to our top story losses that began in the u.s. markets, then spread to asia are now reaching europe early in the trading day. and we're seeing losses across the board. i want to bring in alfred schipke, who is the director of the east asian institute and a professor at the lee kuan yew school of public policy. he comes to us from singapore. thank you so much for being here with us. so, you know, today sort of feels like the day after because we've now had a full trading day to see the reaction. you've said this, that the the this is the nail in the coffin of the global trading system. and it's not just the the massive short term impacts, but equally the long term consequences that are important here. so what do you mean by that? what long term impacts are you expecting?

>> yeah, we're. >> of. >> course currently. >> observing. >> you know, the short term pain, especially as it's reflected in the in the equity market that you just mentioned. but i think for many countries in this part of the world, but i think across the globe also in europe, it is the question what is going to come after because the global system as we know it, on april 2nd, literally, probably saw the, the, the, the nail in the coffin. so the question is how countries are going to organize themselves, how companies are going to organize themselves. so this is a major, major shock to the, the global system. >> yeah, absolutely. so that's how companies are going to react. i mean, looking at the reaction of, of of countries, i mean, we heard donald trump say he doesn't want to see any reciprocal tariffs because that will just escalate matters. and that's that's kind of what we've seen in many countries in europe and asia. what do you think that, you know, what kind

of reaction are you expecting to see from countries as they sort of deal. now, you know, a day after all this has happened? >> my sense is that here in asia, and i would think also in europe that overall the response will probably be more restrained. and that is for a number of reasons. you know, first of all we're expecting real pain. also going to affect consumers, companies in the united states. and ultimately the pressure there will be to maybe change course. so to wait and see in a certain kind of way might make sense. secondly, especially here in asia, the exposure to the united states, either directly or indirectly, is is very large in terms of what it means for the economy. so being very aggressive might be counterproductive. now, of course, some of the larger

countries, such as china and then again, the european union are likely to move forward. but again, i think it will be a combination of restraint responses continued engagement. and then also seeing whether in the united states there might be, in a change in, in the strategy, especially if consumers are going to get hit through higher prices. maybe unemployment, and lower economic growth and continued poor performance in equity markets. >> now, you touched on how companies are responding to all this. i want to drill down on that a bit more. many of them are kind of being caught out here because in the in the last few years, we've seen american companies trying to diversify away from china in the aftermath of covid and the supply chain issues that we saw then. but for many companies, they began relying on places like cambodia and cambodia now has the highest tariff rate in asia, the second highest globally. so how much of a monkey wrench, i guess, does

this throw into the planning and logistics of companies? now? >> i think global companies that have been the driver of you know, global growth over the last decades or so both in the u.s., but also in europe, are facing significant challenges. on the one hand, it's just the uncertainty, right? and even if tomorrow things were to be, different uncertainty is likely going to be high. so investments will be lower because you don't know in which part of the world to invest anymore. and then the second part is that, you know, what is the competitive advantage of global companies? and it is basically managing the global supply chain in a very efficient way. and if you now take that away and companies are starting to de-risk, and maybe this time it's de-risking from the united states. then the question is, what is your

competitive advantage if you do us in for the u.s., you do china for china, and you go around the globe, you're basically just becoming a local company rather than a global company that benefits from. >> still so much up in the air, but really appreciate getting your analysis on how this might all shake out. alfred schipke in singapore. thank you so much. we'll see you there. jubilation in the streets of seoul today as opponents of south korean president yoon suk yeol celebrate his impeachment, the country's constitutional court ruled unanimously that yoon be removed from his position, effective immediately. they found his short lived declaration of martial law in december to be a violation of the constitution. yoon had ordered troops to drag opposition lawmakers out of the national assembly. >> he shocked the people and caused chaos across all fields,

including society, economy, politics and diplomacy. as the president of all the people. >> he. >> violated his. >> duty to unite society beyond the people who support. >> him. >> yoon issued a written apology. today, south korea's acting president will remain on the job for now, but a new election must be held within 60 days. vladimir putin's top negotiator says the trump administration understands russian concerns after his high level talks with u.s. officials thursday, according to russian state media. kirill dmitriev claims a main topic now is restoring russian american ties relationship that was apparently interrupted during the biden administration. earlier, he told cnn there has been major progress regarding a ceasefire in ukraine thanks to the trump white house. here he is. >> i think. >> there is an understanding. >> for how. >> we can. >> move to. >> finalize the agreement. >> and there have been lots of discussion in that realm, lots of differences still remain, but

i think there are several paths to try to address all of the issues, and only diplomatic solution can be possible. >> elle reeve has been highlighting russia's absence from the list of global tariffs unveiled by president trump on wednesday, and says u.s. businesses would be welcome in russia if punitive sanctions over its war in ukraine were lifted. ukrainian officials say three people were injured in a massive drone attack on the southeastern city of dnipro friday. city's mayor says no one was killed and there was minimal damage. in kharkiv, at least two people were killed and another 32 injured during a russian drone attack on thursday. russia has targeted ukraine's second largest city almost nightly over the past week. donald trump says he expects to welcome benjamin netanyahu to the u.s. as soon as next week. the u.s. president says he spoke with the israeli prime minister on thursday, as israel has launched a major new expansion of its military operation in gaza. here's what the president told reporters aboard air force one.

>> gaza is a very, very important thing. it's it's been under siege for many, many years. it's a shame. it's a shame a lot of people die in gaza. gaza's been a place. we have. a lot of people die. a lot of bad things happen in gaza. we'll see what we can do about it. >> meanwhile, a senior hamas source tells cnn the group has rejected israel's latest proposal for a temporary ceasefire in gaza. the plan called for a 40 day pause in fighting in exchange for the release of 11 living hostages and half of the 35 deceased hostages. hungary says it will withdraw from the international criminal court, becoming the only country in the european union to do so. hungarian prime minister viktor orban says the court is a political tool. he welcomed israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu to budapest thursday, ignoring the icc's arrest warrant for the israeli leader. it's the first time mr. netanyahu has traveled to europe since the court called for his arrest last may.

>> you've just taken a. >> bold and principled position on the icc, and i thank. >> you, victor. >> this is not only important. >> for us, it's important. >> for all democracies. >> it's important to stand up to this. corrupt organization. >> the icc claims prime minister netanyahu bears criminal responsibility for war crimes in gaza, including allegations of crimes against humanity and starvation as a means of warfare. i want to bring in cnn's nada bashir, and she joins us live from london. so now, what do we know about the ramifications of this decision? >> well, look, this is. >> an important step, kim, taken by the hungarian government, the international criminal court does not have the power to enforce any sort of laws. it relies on signatory states to arrest suspects and then transfer them to the hague. so this is sending an important message from hungary. and also, of course, for the israeli prime minister, benjamin netanyahu, sending a message to the icc as

to his ability to operate fully as a leader on the global stage. although quite limited at this point, despite hungary now announcing that it will begin taking steps to withdraw from the icc today. as you mentioned, though, the allegations that have been laid against the israeli prime minister by the icc are serious, they say they have reasonable grounds to believe that the israeli prime minister holds criminal responsibility for war crimes, for crimes against humanity in gaza, including using starvation as a method of warfare. these are allegations that we've heard from numerous other organizations as well, including humanitarian organizations. but of course, as we know, the israeli prime minister and israeli government have rejected these allegations. in fact, the hungarian prime minister, viktor orban, was also among the first to criticize the icc's decision when they issued that arrest warrant back in may of last year. but again, this is sending a message as to the authority, the scope of the power of the

icc. of course, this is also sending a signal as to the close ties between hungary and israel as israel begins to expand its operation in gaza, which is increasingly becoming a deeply unpopular operation and military expedition for the israeli government. as you mentioned, though, we are expecting to also see now a meeting between the israeli prime minister and the u.s. president, donald trump, in the coming days. that was that message sent by donald trump yesterday. speaking to reporters expecting to hold those talks next week as the israeli military now expands its operation, it says it is focused on seizing more areas in gaza. and of course, we've seen those troubling evacuation orders once again. now for civilians in parts of southern gaza being warned by the israeli military to move north. >> kim nada bashir in london, thanks so much. president trump's trade war doing a real number on global markets, the industries taking the heaviest hits and how regional powers are

responding. meanwhile, u.s. secretary of state must face allies while his boss steps up his international trade war. we'll have the latest on that coming up next. >> stay with. >> she's a woman who prosecutors say pretended to be a wealthy german heiress. >> it doesn't sound like you really regret what you did. it wasn't a victimless crime, right? i mean, you took advantage of people. >> united states have scandal with jake tapper sunday at nine on cnn. >> how can you tell if your supplements were developed by amateurs or pros? neither could we. that's why i joined forces with seven other leading doctors to create doctors preferred supplements formulated by us, like this clinical grade berberine. >> doctors preferred supplements are doctor formulated using clinically validated ingredients and tested for purity and potency. >> don't trust your health to the amateurs. choose doctor's preferred for better science and better results. >> look for clinical grade berberine and other doctors preferred products in stores near you. >> don't you hate that dirty old.

policy. and global markets are plunging despite new predictions of a trade war and concerns about a recession. president trump maintains that his new tariffs are going to be successful. nationally, though there is broad condemnation and concern about the new tariffs with some foreign leaders planning retaliatory tariffs of their own. canada's prime minister, for example, called the current trade relationship with the u.s. a tragedy. all right. joining us live from manchester, england is chris southworth. he is the secretary general of the international chamber of commerce, united kingdom. great to have you this morning, sir. i want to share a few ways these policies have been described over the last 24 hours. obliteration day, liquidation day and worse than the worst case scenario. in your opinion, have the reactions been overblown or do you share these sentiments? >> no, absolutely. >> i think we share the sentiments. >> i would add another one to that. >> it was it felt a bit like make the poorer, poorer day

yesterday. i mean, the tariffs hitting the some of the poorest countries on the planet were extraordinary. lesotho having a 50% tariff. chad, which is one of the poorest countries in the world, has got a higher tariff than the uk, which is one of the wealthiest countries in the world. so i think we should be really caring about the the message that is sending to the emerging markets, particularly across africa, where trade and development is absolutely vital to their well-being and lifting people out of poverty. >> yeah, i think that was something that really surprised a lot of people, just how some of the countries that face the highest tariffs are already the poorest in the world. what happens next seems to be what's key here. you have made the point that this quote does not need to be a systemic crisis, that this now depends really on the reaction of other governments. so to that point, how do you expect the uk to respond? >> yeah. so we're setting. out a very clear plan today at national level and international level. what do we need to do.

because the uk has a really important role to play in all of this. as a pragmatic champion for for trade internationally, but also as a bridge to dialog with the u.s. and an ability to talk to countries north, south, east and west. we're in a very unique position in that in that sense. so a national level we are talking to government about the need to de-risk the economy. you know, we have a pretty thin budget and headroom, economic headroom in the uk budget overall that was announced last week. what we're now saying is we need to accelerate the pace and scale of modernization of trade so that we can reduce the risk and cost for business, but also reduce the risk and create more headroom for the uk economy. so a bolder trade strategy in the early may when that's published is going to be really important. secondly, we are now saying that we need to really ramp up our economic diplomacy. uk businesses play a crucial role alongside

government as well, working with our international community and the icc so that we're speaking with one voice as 45 million companies together to ensure that we protect and safeguard the emerging markets. and we have a comprehensive response in a way that doesn't escalate the situation and that we navigate our way through. and that means increasing our presence at the world trade organization. we're taking two delegations down there this year in the lead up to the wto ministerial conference. next year, we're meeting commonwealth trade ministers in june. now, a lot of these tariffs have high tariffs have hit the commonwealth market. so i'll be speaking to them today. and then obviously meeting trade ministers in june. and then also we're now gathering together business leaders across the g20. to have a more strategic conversation about how we all work together, pull together and, and step up because that's, that's the big the big question now is how do we step up as a global community

to to bring the 87% of global trade that doesn't rely on the u.s.? >> and give me some examples of what that might look like, what those conversations are like now between, leaders, small business owners, big business owners about what stepping up in this environment right now looks like. >> well, i think the first thing that is happening is everybody will be looking at the, the, the detail of the economic impact. so we'll have a lot more data, i think next week as everybody now starts to look at impact on sectors, on different regions and parts of the world, as well as at company level. so first thing we need to do is listen. and the same with governments as well. we need to listen to our national governments and how they're responding and ensure that there isn't an over retaliation here so that we don't get an escalation, because in the long term, we need a de-escalation, and then it will all be about how we get together. business and government, and have a proper response. and that includes the reform and improvement of the trading system, because the

economic imbalances in the trading system are there, the trump administration is completely right on that. but the solution to it, to solving it is not tariffs. that's going to make it worse. the solution is a multilateral dialog. and that's long overdue. so this is a big opportunity now to get around the table at multilateral level and solve those problems which need solving. >> yeah. one thing that got my attention that you said to our producers or that you said on another program is, i can't see how the u.s. comes out of this without huge damage to its reputation and economy. it's that reputational damage in the long term that i think you know, we just have to wait to see chris southworth. appreciate you being here this morning. thank you. >> thank you very much. >> nato secretary general is reiterating his belief that the u.s. remains completely committed to the alliance. that may be some welcome news for the u.s. secretary of state, as he balances the global shock of president trump's new tariffs with another day of nato meetings in brussels. cnn's alex marquardt has more.

>> the u.s. secretary of state, marco rubio. >> came here to nato expecting. >> to talk about very specific agenda items with nato allies. he wanted to reassure those allies that the u.s. is very much a part of, and will remain a part of the nato alliance. he expected to talk about the war in ukraine, how to end it, what security assistance for ukraine would continue to look like, and defense spending something the trump administration has been pushing nato allies to do to spend more on defense. but in a large way, this meeting here at nato of the foreign ministers was overshadowed by the news that president trump planned to slap massive tariffs on countries all around the world. a western official telling me here at nato that it is tough to do the business at hand when this has just been announced. and then i spoke with the canadian foreign minister, mélanie joly, who said they are trying to have constructive conversations, but also at the same time send a message to the

united states over these tariffs. take a listen. >> so this. >> is. >> what we're doing, but clearly we're passing. >> that message. >> to, our american counterparts that. you know. >> it's it's difficult to have these conversations in the context of. >> a. >> trade war. >> and at the end of the day. >> it is. >> those who are watching us. >> right now, alex, that. >> will be suffering from. >> these tariffs and that, that that issue of trust. >> amongst allies. and we want to be constructive. joly went on to say that they are exerting what she called maximum pressure on the white house to back off these tariffs. and as distracting as they may be to the conversations here at nato, she said the goal is to emerge from these two days of meetings with a united message. it does not appear that joly or the other foreign ministers are holding these tariffs against rubio himself. everybody is being friendly. there was the potential for an awkward sit down between rubio and his danish counterpart. the trump administration has made no secret of their desire to annex

greenland, which is a danish territory. but we're told by the state department that that did not come up. so rubio has had to grapple with all kinds of issues during these two days of meetings here at nato. alex marquardt cnn at nato headquarters. >> a major shakeup of the u.s. intelligence community. we have learned that the trump administration has fired the director and deputy director of the national security agency. now, it's not immediately clear why general timothy hawk, as well as his second in command, wendy noble, were let go. but according to sources, their removal comes after a meeting wednesday between president trump and laura loomer, a far right conspiracy theorist who once claimed that nine over 11 was an inside job. loomer apparently urged the president to remove a number of officials on the national security council for disloyalty. president trump, defending the firings earlier thursday and said that loomer was not involved. >> laura loomer is a very good patriot. she is a very strong person and i saw her yesterday

for a little while. she has she makes. recommendations of things and people, and sometimes i listen to those recommendations like i do with everybody. i listen to everybody, and then i make a decision. >> loomer was an influential voice around president trump during the 2024 campaign, even though several of his advisers did try to keep her at a distance. well, still ahead for us, a major automaker reacts to trump's tariffs by slowing production and laying off hundreds of american workers. meanwhile, the head of the united auto workers union says that blame for those layoffs belongs to the company, not the tariffs. you'll hear from him coming up next. >> smells amazing. >> oh my. >> gosh. >> that is. >> so good. >> should we. >> dig in? >> eva longoria searching for spain. april 27th on.

tariffs, saying that they will bring jobs back to u.s. auto plants. and he says that stellantis could have done just that instead of laying off hundreds of workers. take a listen. >> it's more of the same from stellantis. unfortunately. you know, it's interesting. you know, the administration's been very clear that these these tariffs are coming. they backed off twice now. and now that it's time to to be implemented. you know, ford, you know, obviously has been proactive. they dropped the price of vehicles. they're extending discounts to to consumers. gm announced they're going to bring some work back. and meanwhile stellantis has had several months to prepare, announces that they're going to use employees as collateral damage. it's more of the same. these companies can can build new plants. but but the thing they need to do in the immediate to address this crisis in this country is, is use the excess capacity that they already have. and like i said, you know, we could be producing ram trucks right back at warren truck where they've been producing them for 80 years. within a month. it's a

choice the companies making. and it's a choice the companies making to sacrifice employees today versus doing the right thing. you know, so there's a lot of opportunity. and, you know, and this goes back just to a bigger issue. i mean, working class people in this country have been left behind for decades by a broken trade system. tariffs aren't the solution to everything. tariffs are. a r a r a r a r a tool in the toolbox. but ultimately we've got to fix the broken trade system. and that's the part. unfortunately when we hear all these talking heads talk about the crisis with the stock market dropping. where was the cry out of the crisis when millions of jobs were leaving this country over the last 20 or 30 years? >> there is also growing concern over how the massive new tariffs will affect farmers and ranchers. during the first trump presidency, his administration paid them billions of dollars to make up for their losses during his trade war with china. the american farm bureau warning last month that the new tariffs will take a toll on rural america. but u.s. agriculture

secretary brooke rollins claimed that agricultural workers understand and will benefit down the line. >> they understand that there may be a. short time of uncertainty, but for the long haul, as we restructure the american economy and the american economy and our private sector, with the government playing a role in that, president trump's vision of using tariffs, at the end of the day, this president committed to putting americans first. and as part of that, our farmers and ranchers. >> rollins reportedly ignored a question about what the trump administration considers short term. exactly. this week, two key republican senators who come from states with heavy agricultural interests, refused to say whether they support the tariffs. all right. still ahead for us picking up the pieces. still ahead. a series of deadly storms leaves a trail of devastation across the central u.s. we'll be right back. >> my happy place. one place i could truly be myself. i want.
