Stephen Miller, Trump's deputy chief of staff, debates Jake Tapper on CNN regarding the impact of deportations on grocery prices. Miller argues that only a small percentage of illegal migrants work in agriculture and that the US should not rely on "exploitative illegal alien labor." He advocates for a legal guest worker program and a transition to automation to secure the food supply without violating immigration laws.

Donald Trump announces new tariffs on foreign agricultural products starting April 2 to protect American farmers from "dirty and disgusting" uninspected imports. He also reaffirms a 25% tariff on foreign aluminum, copper, and steel to protect national security and the domestic military industrial base. Trump introduces Jeff Dennard, an Alabama steel worker and foster parent, as a symbol of the "soul of our country."

Alex Jones explains the origin of the term "wetback" while standing near the Rio Grande. He discusses the exploitation of agricultural workers and the brutality of cartels, who reportedly lock migrants in tractor-trailers to die. Jones refutes the "racist" narrative of border enforcement, stating the real enemy is the "evil and wicked" cartel system.
