The idea that this was some planned attack on the world and it still affected their own people, which, by the way, we have no idea the real numbers. I can tell you there's a lot of anecdotal evidence I have from people that have seen, you know, large crematoriums and lots of different sort of cults coffins ordered for certain areas of that country.

And there's a lot of speculation that the numbers were massively bigger than anything that we heard of. But to kill your own people just to get this thing out, it seems like there's probably a better way to do it. But the incompetency around it really allowed it to spread.

And the fact that no one here came straight with the American public saying what we were actually doing over there and why we were doing it and The problem with what we were doing, if it ever got out in the public, which it did, that was really just disheartening to a lot of us.

All right, well, I'm not an economist, but for my book, I did study quite a bit of macroeconomics in terms of our industrial revolution, how we built it in the 1800s, and the fact that Alexander Hamilton really led that charge and created all kinds of trade protectionist policies to build our infant industries. A lot of that included

tech and IP theft that we did to Europe to help build our own domestic competitors to theirs, the cotton gin, various other things that we did a lot of what China's playbook today is based on. Right. So if you look at how we built our middle class, our industrial revolution, it was on the back of massive trade protectionist policies, which tariffs are a big part of.

China over the last 40 years has taken 700 million people out of extreme poverty and put them into a middle class using that exact playbook. So if you're a case study historian, you know that A hundred something years ago or 150 years ago, we did it. It worked over the last 40 years. China has done it and it worked on a much grander scale. We can do it again because it's a proven concept.

But we have to stick to very strong strategies and make sure that we stick with it, even with markets falling. fluctuating and various other volatility that occurs because we do need time to onshore and bring back some of that manufacturing that's important to not just national security issues, but also as manufacturing here in the US tries to rebuild itself.

Our business is in a state of massive disruption for a variety of reasons. I mean, Trump is probably the smallest part of looking at it from his trade policy. I would like personally here in California to see more production come back. Los Angeles is supposed to be the headquarters of production, and it has very little production in TV and film happening here. We offshore it.

to new zealand to canada the the eu to eastern europe um various other countries around the world we just don't make a lot ireland uk etc so i'd love to see that brought back those are great high-paying jobs and it allows us to control narrative globally and that's really important if we want to be a world leader we got to both lead by example but we also got to

Yeah, you keep looking for those tipping points that are maybe going to swing the pendulum back to a centrist or a constructive sort of form of government. And it seemed like even the fires might have been that. And I don't know if the fires were.
