[booing] felt longer. the president devoted much of the speech to defending the 25% tariffs he imposed on canada and mexico. now, i don't want to get too much into the weeds here, but tariffs are what economists describe as "bad." when he first proposed them, the wall street journal said he was starting the dumbest trade war in history. yes, it's clearly the wor

i understand cato's perspective when it comes to illegal immigration.he cato institute for longtime has had a standard of actually having open immigration into the united states. generally speaking -- >> we support legal immigration. >> let me ask you this question. one of the great libertarians of the modern era said you can either have open borders or a welfare state but you have to choose. what do you choose? >> milton friedman said he wanted to allow illegal immigration to continue. i disagree with the position on that. we should have legal immigration to build a wall around the welfare state, not around the country. that is in the best interest of taxpayers. >> i would argue under the current system where you have sanctuary cities popping up it is not possible to build that wall. >> absolutely, you can. >> you are done. choosing between securing our nation are protecting the taxpayer. i yield back. >> the chair recognizes mr. bell from missouri. >> thank you, mr. chair. in the 80s, there was the war on drugs that did not go so well we essentially c

i was speaking to an expert from the cato institute yesterday.id tariffs they impact foreign policy about 20% of the time. they're not necessarily so effective. i want to ask you the retaliation, as we look at that, as someone who's negotiated trade deals. once we get to a point of retaliation from other countries, do we does that generally does that spiral into just a worse and worse situation, or does that lead both sides to come back to the negotiating table? because there is a lot to lose when it comes to economic activity and gdp? >> the challenge is once tariffs are in place, people and industries get get used to it. and so they're very hard to ramp back after being put in place. the industries that get that protection, like that protection. and so they don't want to see it reduced. you saw that the trump administration imposed a lot of tariffs on china, and the biden administration kept them on and added a few more, even though there were efforts to review the tariffs to see which were really strategic and which we could afford to reduce b

he is the coauthor of religious liberties for corporations, and he was an editor of 11 volumes of cato's court review. he has spoken at law schools and at events with all over our country. his new book, walls the miseducation of america elites. and you can see we have copies over here. his new book documents his experience at georgetown law in 2022 after a single tweet about presidents supreme president biden, supreme court nominee led to calls for his immediate firing from georgetown law. he's going to tell us something about that. so i won't get into the details. but what happened to ilya three years ago, again, highlighted danger that campus orthodoxies can pose to freedom of speech and academic freedom in higher education. cecilia has now written a book about not just that episode, but more broadly about the situation at top law schools and what's to be done now in some ways, we've been warned about parts of before. i might be the only one in this room old enough to remember this, but back in the 1990s, a couple of authors named david sachs and peter thiel wrote a book about illibera
