Let's see how it works out.

Fast forward nine months, and these women running for governor in Virginia and New Jersey are running, assailing the tariffs, just laying into them.

They're really unpopular.

And I think not only do people believe that they have hurt the economy and maybe contribute to these affordability concerns, they also, because of the back and forth and the headlines and the next headline, the next one, they also add to this sense of chaos coming out of Washington that people also, I think, were reacting to in some of these results.

I'm just not sure how much the air travel will force Democrats to cave, right?

If they didn't cave over SNAP benefits, you know, it's only 20 percent of people or so in the country that fly more than three times a year.

Like most people, a lot of people don't fly at all.

That's a great stat.

Where'd you get that?

I looked that up when this happened because I was curious, like, how many people does this actually impact?

Now, granted, I looked it up.

It was like 44 percent or something fly once a year.

And if you fly once a year, there's a chance you're flying over Thanksgiving, right?

It's a major holiday, American holiday.

I mean, it impacts a lot of people.

The footage of that will be running on all the news of these lines and chaos at airports is certainly bad.

But I'm not I do wonder if this is the thing that causes Democrats who are coming off this very big suite of winds who feel like they have the wind at their back to come to the table with concessions.

No, I'm not sure it will be.

I mean, we can't know.

And, you know, the holidays will be approaching and that obviously people travel.
