It is incredible. So just to interject one thing, I've been working on a PhD for a long time, and seeing these advances, it feels as if You know, that years and years of work on a PhD, it's like, oh, man, you know, a chatbot can do this. What was the point? Yeah, what was the point of all that?

So I think that's a good policy on China because that's the best tool that we have now to offset the effects of China's forced technology transfers of U.S. companies. It's dumping of products on the U.S. market and the various... forms of trade trickery that the Chinese government has used over the last 30 years. The tariff is good because it offsets all that while keeping the dollar strong.

That's one of the reasons why the Trump administration does like tariffs. And I should also add, we have done a lot to sanction certain industries in China. We've also gone after Chinese banks with sanctions that are operating in Mexico that are involved in getting the base chemicals for fentanyl across the border. So there's been a lot of that done already, the targeted work.

But now, because we're starting to reach the limits of what's possible with those sanctions, it's time to put a tax on Chinese products that are being unfairly dumped, that are forcing these technology transfers, stealing American tech. That's the way to offset all this.

Jeff, I think it's to get concessions. And we've seen how quickly the Mexican government just sent 10,000 troops to the border. Now, I agree with Tyler that a lot of this is potentially bluster. Maybe it won't last. Maybe in a month or two, everyone's going to forget about this.

But I do have to say it is interesting how quickly the Mexican government was able was willing to accede to his demands once that tariff went on. And the reason is because America, one of the biggest consumer markets of the world, Mexico depends a lot more on America than America depends on Mexico. Same for Canada.
