i caught up with the former commerce secretary for donald trump, wilbur ross. he has a great book out about this big to-do over former trump officials who are now on record as saying they do not want to see donald trump back in the oval office. react the how wilbur ross dismissed them and saying they are essentially in the distinct minority. react to this, please. >> it was unfortunate, and i wish it had not occurred. but i don't think it's the end of earth because i think americans know what the regime was like when trump was president. they know that they were relatively better off under trump than they have been since. and a lot of play acting and a lot of baiting, that's a nice debating tactic, but substance is what's really going to count for the american public over the next four years. neil: so that was what was important to wilbur ross, the commerce secretary under donald trump, are you better off now than you were four years ago, and that he readily, you know, relayed the me that he didn't think donald trump made that argument as effectively as he has

spokesperson discussed the post debate environment with me and some of the economic numbers that wilbur ross was just dismissing. take a look. >> independent economists have come out and said that president trump would be way worse for the deficit and debt than president harris would be and-- >> still trillions of dollars, right? it's still trillions of dollars, right? >> when it comes to people who care about the debt and deficit. they want to see that people are willing to raise the revenues to pay for their plans and i think with vice-president harris, she's put forward a suite of proposals to make sure we have the right revenues to help pay for some of her proposals. for example, talking about making sure that billionaires pay a minimum tax. talking about quadrupling on stock buyback-- >> isn't that the problem, we don't get there. she's over a trillion shy. i know these things really oftentimes on the left and right aren't worth the paper they're printed on, things change, i get that. it's not as if the debt is going to get smaller under a president harris. >> under the biden administra

when you interviewed former trump administration from the first administration, commerce secretary wilbur ross like aluminum and steel, famously held up the campbell's soup and said that any increase in the price because those cans are aluminum from those tariffs would be negligible. he got a lot of blowback from from that even not just from democrats, but say, for example, then-financial senate leader orrin hatch of utah. republican. -- who said that the damage done to american manufacturers in the steel and aluminum sector far outweighed any benefit of the tariffs. do you worry about unintended effects and that the whole thing kind of works in reverse? >> i don't want, liz. we face a $1.2 the trillion merchandise trade deficit. we live in a very unfair world where we have almost no barriers here and we face lots of tariff and non-tariff barriers exporting abroad. that's led to devastation in many of the communities across the u.s., so we have the fix that. we have to protect american workers. and one way to do that is by tariff. now, tariffs not only protect american manufacturing, but it'll
