a 600 tariff rebate check. Sorry, it was written. So he wants to give rebate checks based on all the tariff money coming in. What do you think of that? Do you think that Trump's base wants to get a tariff rebate check and it would only be for people under a certain income? And do you think they'd rather do that or have it go toward paying down the national debt?

The answer is I'm pretty sure most Republicans would say pay down that debt. Remember I told you that Congress is so broken that no matter how much money DOGE could save, and this applies to the tariffs, no matter how much money the tariffs make, that instead of seeing it as a reduction in your expenses or reduction in your deficit, that Congress would see it as a source of money to spend. That's what this is. So Josh Hawley is seeing this tariff stuff as a source of money to spend to what? Directly buy some votes by just sending people a check. I assume it polls well because Hawley is pretty smart. So he wouldn't suggest it unless he probably had some internal polling or something that says, "Oh yeah, if you send people a check, they remember the check and they might want another one." So it'll help Republicans get elected, but I'm opposed to it. But I can understand why they'd want to do it if it's good for them getting reelected.
