Access to cheap goods 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.
And one or two items with one trading block, I'm not sure why that's a big deal for the market.
What do you want to say about the Tara fight?
Look, Sarah, what we're focused on is the real economy. Can we create an environment where there are long-term gains in the market and long-term gains for the American people? I think having been in the markets for 35 years, I know the market is prone to big unwinds like this. I think we've seen a lot of position unwinding, and I can't really speak to that.
The market and the economy have just become hooked. We've become addicted to this government spending, and there's going to be a detox period.
I'm confident if we have the right policies, it'll be a very smooth transition.
We are trying to transition from public to private. I talked about we are going to have safe and sound regulation to get our banking system going again. So the banks should be generating loans to private companies employment should be from private companies, not from government. And I'm confident if we have the right policies, it'll be a very smooth transition.
As President Trump has said many times, tariff is his favorite word. I would say the reciprocal is probably his second favorite word. And I think we have to be open to the idea, if you want to be a numbskull like Justin Trudeau and say, oh, we're going to do this, then tariffs are going to go up.
But if you want to sit back, have a discussion with the Commerce Department, USTR, they all have my phone number too. I am happy to have a discussion with our foreign counterparts.
We're trying to get rates down. And could we be seeing that... This economy that we inherited starting to roll a bit, sure. And look, there's going to be a natural adjustment as we move away from public spending to private spending. The market and the economy have just become hooked. We've become addicted to this government spending, and there's going to be a detox period.
There's going to be a detox.

Sure. That was actually Tyler who said that.
David, so today when President Trump has signed the executive order to establish the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve and Stockpile, we're going to position the United States as a leader among nations in the digital asset strategy. It's important for the United States to recognize this fact and get ahead of the other nations in the digital age.
We applaud the president's direction to use the digital assets already in possession of the nation. And we are going to establish this Bitcoin reserve. We will use this authority to augment the assets side of the United States balance sheet. As I've said many times, President Trump is creating assets for the American people, while most past presidents have created debt.
And a large part of this asset program can be in digital assets.
And we are going to put a lot of thought into the stable coin regime. And as President Trump has directed, we are going to keep the U.S., the dominant reserve currency in the world, and we will use stable coins to do that. Thank you.

Well, look, as you said, Joe, market was up 20% last year. So there is some house money. No, no, no. I'm going to put it another way. Did the Biden administration succeed? The American people weren't buying it. Just because the market was up, they voted out the Democrats.
