At the box office, those aren't adorable numbers. No, no, no, no. Hollywood's not liking that at all. Yeah, we'll sprinkle on a little more context to this movie story as well. Frozen, Zootopia, Beauty and the Beast, they all brought in over a billion dollars at the box office. Lilo and Stitch barely covered their budget. This is what's so shocking.

Like, we cannot emphasize enough how wrong Disney was about Stitch. Back to the toys. Disney predicted Lilo and Stitch toy buyers would be 7 to 12 years old. And they were totally wrong. 40% of fans... That's right. 30-year-old millennial Millie is living the Stitch lifestyle with a Stitch handbag, a Stitch pajamas, and probably the six Stitch stings that Jack just put in his shopping cart.

Which brings us to the news. Over the weekend, the live-action remake of Lilo and Stitch pulled off a Mission Impossible.

Everyone wants to see themselves in the mirror mirror on the wall. Yetis, another reason this Stitch surge is such a surprise, Stitch is anti-Disney. Disney built its IP archive on blue-blooded characters. We're talking old money, traditional. They got mansions full of books. It's aspirational. From Snow White to Simba to Yoda, these are elites.

But Stitch is a troublemaker who probably will break your washing machine and total your car. But interestingly, Stitch is also a blank slate, nationless, raceless, ageless. I think he's a boy alien, but they never officially clarify in the movie. No, they don't, Jack. Stitch is not quite a hero, but Stitch is also not quite a villain.

In fact, add it all up, and this sounds like the most human Disney character of all. This alien. is so human. And that key detail explains why Stitch has become Disney's top selling merch. It's the relatability of Stitch. He's a hot mess, not a hot princess. And right now, that relatability over aspiration is winning.

For our second story, the US House just passed Trump's big, beautiful bill on Thursday. If the Senate passes this and it becomes law, then prepare for big debt energy. Yet he's in an absolute nail-biter. Republicans passed a massive budget bill at 6 a.m. after an all-nighter. The score was 215 to 214. That's the scoreboard. Every Democrat voted against it. All but three Republicans voted for it.

And this is called the One Big Beautiful Bill Act. And it includes all the policies that Trump campaigned on. If this 1,000-page bill passes the Senate and becomes law... it will add $4 trillion to America's debt. Now, we should point out, Eddie, $4 trillion could buy you every publicly traded company in Germany. I think you could buy every publicly traded company in Germany and France.
