I'm going to get rid of the penny. That's great. I'm with you on the penny. Taxpayers, a couple hundred million dollars a year, environmental costs, the mining of zinc and copper.
Well, you know, we'll still make pennies for collectors. Some of those are in Denver, by the way. You know, we have the Denver Mint, but we still will make nickels and dimes and quarters.
We can't use the force of government to preserve horse and buggy manufacturers once the car is invented. That's a good point.
What have they done so far? I mean, it's mostly.
Yeah, a lot of them were held up in court. I mean, I can't think of one right now. Me neither. That's discouraging, though. I'm hopeful, Tim, on zoning reform and permitting reform, if they get rid of the penny. But no, it's all if. If they do this, if they do this, if they do this.
But no, I mean, nothing makes Colorado more prosperous than they've done yet, or America more prosperous, in my opinion. In fact, to the contrary, the threat of the tariffs obviously is a major drag on our economy.
Those are not all threats at this point. Aren't some of them, with China, they're actually enforced, right? The Canada and Mexico ones, thank God, are still a threat. I hope that threat goes away. But some of those are actually already been implemented, so they're already causing harm.
you know, trying to name the Gulf of Mexico. I said, we could do a compromise. We have a place you know well in Colorado, Casa Bonita. I said, we should call it the Gulf of Casa Bonita because it's a little bit American, a little bit Mexican. It's good for business. You could sell me on that. We could maybe sell the naming rights also. You could auction them off. That's what those should be doing.
You hit on something. Why not? Not that, but let's auction off some other naming rights. Maybe we should do that in Colorado too. Auction off the naming rights for one of our towns or something.
No, and we all, what the president said during the campaign, the deficit would go up substantially, and all this talk of Doge, and again, I hope they succeed, but This is like this much. I mean, you know, whether it's USAID and these other things, it's not... We've got $5 trillion in tax cuts. It's not in any material way, yeah, closing the deficit.
So, you know, I support... In Colorado, we balance our budget every year. I think we need a balanced budget amendment to the U.S. Constitution. And, you know, not because it's good policy, but because it's better than the alternative of not having one, as we've learned. So I think we should have it.
I guess. The bad to quite bad is like top of the...
Well, I think he's interested in, well, he is interested in health and prevention and reducing chronic disease. And that excites me. Colorado is a healthy state. We have one of the lowest obesity rates, healthy diet. We get one of the longest lifespans. So I'm excited to work with him. Saw him yesterday and talked to him. And I think there's a lot of ways we can work together. And
To be clear, and it's a shame I have to say this every time, but of course I don't believe in the nutty anti-science stuff. I'm pro-vaccine. I'm for all that. And he said that he won't get in the way of that, so hopefully that'll be the case. We come back to our fundamental disagreement. Eternal optimism. Your eternal optimism.
We need more research. Absolutely. Yeah.
Look, I mean, you look at the life-saving research that's been done in our generation, the previous generation, we all have healthier, longer lives, and we need more research.
It's not like we voted for this guy. We're just saying we hope best wishes for the country here. I mean, he's got to get something right out of the 20 or 30 things he's involved with. Are we sure? I hope so.
I'm obviously very concerned about abandoning our European allies and the fight for freedom and democracy. Yeah. Again, don't know where that's headed, but very concerning remarks about the conflict. We cannot embolden Putin on the world stage, and I'm worried about that.
First of all, I think these principles that you have are a very good underpinning. Again, there's too many of them, but they're promising. And really talking about prosperity, abundance, economy, I mean, you know, we are deeply concerned that this president's economic agenda could lead to less prosperity rather than more if he does what he's saying he's going to do.
And I think we need to offer the alternative. And the Democrats have not always been, you know, Pure on these issues, they've been pro-trade. President Obama and President Clinton led us into many more trade agreements, brought down tariffs, brought down non-tariff barriers to trade. We've had large, significant pro-growth tax policies.
