Yeah, this is the thing about tariffs. I mean, Donald Trump has described tariffs as the most beautiful word in the English language. And he was speaking last week about his quest to be considered the tariff king. But of course, imposing tariffs on another country really raises the possibility of that other country retaliating and imposing tariffs on you instead.

So you get into a situation where ultimately it's the American consumer who could pay the price for any sort of trade war or tariff war. And he targeted the EU quite specifically in a few comments last week. I mean, we've heard him talk about China. Often we've heard him talk about imposing a 25% tariff on Mexico and Canada from the 1st of February.

But he really headed in the direction of the EU last week. And that's a complicated one. And if you take the issue of cars, for example, many European companies make cars in America. hiring American workers, using American materials, but some of the parts for those cars come from Europe to the American factory and then those cars are sold back to Europe.

So you have a potential for things getting incredibly expensive quite quickly if tariffs are layered upon each part of something like a car and ultimately that will be the consumer that pays the price there.

And I would say maple syrup and poutine are great reasons to do it.

Well, the question of should I move to Ireland was also heavily Googled in the days after. And the Department of Foreign Affairs in Ireland actually has had many, many queries from Americans looking to trace their Irish grandmothers and whatever to move to Ireland.

And I think the question of the role of the media is quite an interesting one and one that we'll see people do PhDs and various studies on for times to come because this was the first election where we really saw the role of the podcast and the user-specific, user-generated media really play a role there.

So I think large numbers of people, particularly those who Gary's talking about there, who maybe were in the middle, don't normally vote, came out to vote, so on, probably weren't being hugely influenced by, you know, what the questioner describes there as overly liberal rhetoric in the media.

I think they were more swayed by things they were hearing in their own social circles, things they were hearing from podcast hosts who have massive reach and... You know, Donald Trump doing that three hours or whatever it was with Joe Rogan, you really got to see quite a different side to him than you get to hear when he just does short soundbites or his big long rallies and so on.

So I think it's the role of the media has changed. And I suppose for us here in the BBC, you know, that's something we're trying to get back. handle on as well and that audiences are moving and you need to go where the audience is and give them the information they need, such as on a podcast like this.
