He's going to have some bad headlines. Happened to Reagan when he brought down inflation. The unemployment went up and it cost him his majorities in the in the legislature. But but still, I do think he has an idea of what he's doing. And I do think I don't think he bluffs. I think he makes a deal and takes an extreme position knowing that's not where he's going to. Right, right, right.

I don't mean that he doesn't have strategy, but it's not the same kind of strategy. I can't remember which one of you guys said it, but he's not talking about a chess game. He's more talking about a kind of, like I said, a gestalt, an atmosphere that he knows how to move through, and he does it really expertly.

Yeah. It's going to be, well, it's going to be the last great administration of my lifetime, but it may be the last great administration of your lifetime, too, because they don't come along.

I dipped into it again and again. I watched actually a substantial little bit of it, yeah. And what'd you think? Well, I thought it was actually important. I called it the Screw You America Oscars. You know, it was like this kind of defiant final gasp of a dying art form. You know, saying that we're going to make movies. You know, we're not here to entertain you.

We're here to show you our virtue and how superior it is to your everyday Trumpian ideas of patriotism and marriage and love and prosperity. And we're going to show you how much more, how much wiser and higher in our virtue we are than you. We're making movies that nobody sees about issues no one cares about.

And we're going to celebrate those movies as if they were Casablanca and The Godfather and really great cinematic inventions of the past. And, you know, conservatives are always complaining about the left wing ideas of the movies and the way the actors get up on stage and and curse at us. But that's not what bothers me.

I mean, what bothers me is that their ideas are a dead end and they've hit that dead end. And that's why I thought it was actually an important cultural moment that this. that used to be the Super Bowl of entertainment that everybody used to tune in on isn't watching at all. Nobody was tweeting about it. Nobody was talking about it. Nobody has seen any of the movies.
