I will look into the numbers.
It costs 75 million to produce and market.
It made $16 million, which I'm not a mathematician, but I think that's a loss.

I think he's kind of full of shit.
And in all seriousness, no one made him do this interview.
He didn't have to go out there and be obsequious, but we're in a place now where
these tech titans especially, but you know, leaders of industry across the board, they just feel, even at this moment where Trump's at like 37% approval and everyone is just tired of the shtick, that they still have to go out there and do these interviews.
And it's just flabbergasting to me.
You would think at some point,
They would say, I've had enough.
Just don't say anything.
Just don't go out there.
Well, he almost never says anything.
It was so weird that he did this interview.

Yeah, that's what I'm curious.
Why did he feel the need to go out there?
Let me just add this, because he did say this on a substantive level.
He talked, I mean, he was going out for this policy provision that he's got, which is he thinks the bottom 50th percentile of earners in the country should pay zero federal income taxes.
