Now, Senator Paul, a long time critic of President Donald Trump's tariff policy, says Kentucky businesses oppose higher tariffs.

He appeared yesterday on CBS's Face the Nation.

I had a very good conversation with the president this week about tariffs.

He did most of the talking, and we don't agree exactly on the outcome.

But when I come home to Kentucky, I talk to the Farm Bureau, which is opposed to the tariffs.

I talked to the bourbon industry, which is opposed to the tariffs.

I talked to the cargo companies, U.P.S., DHL, all of their pilots are opposed to it.

I talked to the hardwood floor people.

I talked to the people selling houses, building houses.

I have no organized business and business interests in Kentucky for the tariffs.

So I think it's worth the discussion.

And it's worth people remembering that the Republicans used to be for lower taxes.

Tariffs are a tax.

So if you raise taxes on the private sector that's not good for the private sector.

This week, Congress is expected to vote on what's called a rescission request from the white House to cut about $9 billion in spending that's already been approved.

Senator Paul talked about some of the spending that would be affected.

This is the money that was pointed out as being spent for sex change operations in Guatemala.

Trans opera in Colombia.

All these crazy spending?

Yes, it should be Sesame Street.

I had an amendment about a month.

Excuse me.

It's Sesame Street, it's PBS and NPR.

Yeah.

Yeah.

And I think.

Yeah, you're right.

We'll see if the votes to cut it.

I don't think we necessarily need government program or we have so many choices on the internet and so many choices on television.

But my preference has always been in the past to cut a little bit of everything rather than cut a lot of something.

So what I've done in the past is propose a penny plan budget where we cut a certain percentage of everything, but it includes entitlements or it doesn't really work.

Now, Kett is a PBS member station.

That rescission vote could come in the next few days.
