00:00Who's very well-being and livelihoods are being affected. This is not a game.
00:06This is real life. I yield back.
00:10Let the record reflect that there's more Republicans in this chamber than there are Democrats currently in this committee room.
00:21There's six of us. There's five of you. So let's make sure we get the facts right.
00:25I appreciate the president did not blink on China, as was said earlier, and it needs to be corrected in the record.
00:31In fact, he increased China by 125 percent.
00:36Would you yield, Mr. Chairman?
00:38I do not.
00:39Can we have a colloquy?
00:40No.
00:40We don't want to talk about the trade policy here in the trade committee. This is our jurisdiction.
00:45Your time has expired, and I'm more than happy to talk to you.
00:48I asked if you would yield.
00:48And I said no.
00:49Because you don't want to defend the policy or the strategy.
00:52Kick me out.
00:54What are you going to do?
00:54Kick me out.
00:55Mr. Yacom, you're recognized.
00:57Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
00:59Ambassador Greer.
