Sure, of course that's what he's doing.
Of course that's what he's doing.
You know, I don't know. I think he's gotten into the wrong... But that's your business. Yeah, he's gotten into the wrong pew. Right? The point is, listen, the thing about somebody who's in a position of great power is that they are enthralled to the people that they choose to advise them about the people that they should choose. Right? So we're the same thing.
You go buy a house, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. You're going to say, hmm, I want this. Who am I going to pick for the architect? Who am I going to pick for the designer? Who am I going to pick to do the permitting? And then you're fucking fucked. You better hope you guessed right. Right? So...
Somebody is advising him about getting into the film, making our films better here by putting tariffs on foreign films. That's not going to make our films better here. The reason that films aren't better here is Hollywood, right? So the way to make the films better is to let the market work.
Yeah.
I love popcorn movies. You hate Titanic. Oh, that's a garbage piece of shit. But I went to a movie just the other day, and I ate a whole bunch of popcorn. But then I... But I think there was something in it.
Popcorn movie that I like... Well, you know, I like old movies.
Yeah, but I have really good popcorn that we cook at home in an air popper.
Yeah. Exactly so.

God bless him.
Well, I went to the communal experience of a movie to see this movie on the third street mall, which is dead, with a couple of friends. And the two of us were there with one other person. The mall is dead, not the Third Street Mall.
When's the last time it's dead? There's nobody there. Why? Because it got closed down because of COVID, and then it closed down because of the riots, and then it closed down because of the homelessness. So 90%, I think, of the stores are empty. There's nobody there. Holy shit. It's terrible.
No, no.
Also, I like what you said about your meeting with Trump. Because you just told the truth.
Yeah, there's no... You have no card. Listen, things died. The Whig Party died. It was replaced by the Republicans in 1860.
Well, I hope that they do. I mean, people like Fred and people like Josh Shapiro, they're great. But, I mean, Pocahontas and the governor of Maine, who says, I insist on boys in the girls' bathroom, that's crazy. It's just freaking crazy. It's not just wrong. It's crazy.
No, I don't think they want to destroy the family. I think they have destroyed the family. Okay. But they haven't destroyed my family. But they didn't really do it on purpose. What you're saying is I didn't know it was loaded, right? Yes. That's what Lee Harvey Oswald could have said, right?
