I'm stroking out, so thank you.
How are you guys okay? I'm not okay. Like Matt, I was expecting and kind of hoping for Kamala Harris to win with the Republican Congress to buy us some time to get to a better place. Donald Trump's trade policy is idiotic. And the immigration, his, you know, promises to do mass deportations is disgusting and vile.

And it's something that you will read a lot about in, you know, the pages of Reason magazine, as we did when Obama deported people and when George Bush deported people and things like that. It's just, it's flat out wrong.

I said it multiple times in various podcasts and whatnot that my preferred outcome was that Kamala Harris wins with Republican Congress.

And just as a quick follow-up, I'm a libertarian because I grew up lower middle class, not in spite of that. I think capitalism and free markets and limited government gives you the most opportunity to actually advance in the world. It also creates a market full of innovation so that suddenly food is unbelievably cheap, even relatively speaking during terms of high inflation.

But I think that the argument that libertarianism is simply, you know, the province of upper middle class people who have never really had to think about stuff is just empirically wrong. And it's certainly wrong in my case.
