So we've got a ceiling and then we can see if there's a different floor.
Nothing eminent.
Again, I'm not part of the negotiations. So, you know, we'll see. I am sure that there are going to be a lot of calls. I just don't know if they're going to be negotiations.
I'm not sure.
uh so do you think that was compelling i mean it's interesting tactic it's a little saul linsky-esque in the sense that you've got george soros and jd pritzker and reid hoffman and all these billionaires who've spent far more than must did in this and now pointing say wait a minute i don't think they spent on this they didn't well collectively if you look at all the money from outside that was given to her again 77 of it came from out of state only 15 came from shimmel and collectively
a number of the analysis. I'm just saying like in terms of the money from individually, if you look at the whole outside money that came from out of the state, it's clearly you don't think it was a referendum on Musk at all, though. Oh, I think it had a part. I think a lot of different issues.
Well, I can look at it from another direction. I think the Schimel campaign was really struggling both financially and just in terms of traction before Musk got involved. He may have actually, you know, given whatever boost he had late.
But it didn't solve for the issue that the Republicans have, which is these low propensity voters and trying to get them to turn out for things that are not Donald Trump. You heard Elon Musk, I think correctly, try to tie a vote in the Supreme Court race to much larger, you know, macro political issues. but it wasn't enough. And so that is an equation the Republicans have to solve for.
I don't think it's gonna be an issue in 28, but look, you got a midterm between now and then. It will be an issue in these midterms, and that's something the party strategists are gonna have to deal with.
But it shouldn't be lost on your viewers that George Soros has poured millions of dollars in, and the Democratic governor of Illinois, the state to the south of Wisconsin, has also poured millions in. Why? Because the left wants to drive forward a radical agenda.
In the state of Wisconsin, we're concerned about parental rights, school choice, voter integrity, and that is why in Wisconsin we're working so hard to get Brad Schimel on the court.
Yeah, well, look, it was a silly question. Can you guarantee there's not going to be a recession? I can't guarantee anything. I can't guarantee that the journalist who asked me the question that her news program is going to be on it.
No, no, no. Maria, what's going to happen on April 2nd, each country will receive a number that we believe represents their tariffs. So for some countries, it could be quite low. For some countries, it could be quite high. So there's not an automatic 25 plus 25 that's going to happen. And the poll you just read, I think that that's a source of a lot of the consternation That's happening.
And what we can see here in the administration is President Trump is on what is seemingly an unstoppable roll since January 20th.
No, no, no. Maria, what's going to happen on April 2nd, each country will receive a number that we believe represents their tariffs. So for some countries, it could be quite low. For some countries, it could be quite high. So There's not an automatic 25 plus 25 that's going to happen. And when the poll you just read, I think that that's a source of a lot of the consternation that's happening.
And what we can see here in the administration is President Trump is on what is seemingly an unstoppable role since January 20th.
Yeah, well, look, it was a silly question. Can you guarantee there's not going to be a recession? I can't guarantee anything. I can't guarantee that the journalist who asked me the question that her news program is going to be on in a year.
And they have substantial tariffs. And as important as the tariff are some of these non-tariff barriers where they have domestic content production, where they do testing on our, whether it's our food or products that bear no resemblance to safety or anything that we do to their products.
Access to cheap goods is not the asset, is not the essence of the American dream. The American dream is rooted in the concept that any citizen can achieve prosperity, upward mobility and economic security.
Not at all, Kristen. What I'm saying is the American dream is not let them eat flat screens. If American families aren't able to afford a home, don't believe that their children will do better than they are, the American dream is not contingent on cheap baubles they have from China. that it is more than that, and we are focused on affordability, but it's mortgages, it's cars, it's real wage gains.
