Of course they are. I have great respect for Ireland and what they did. And they should have done just what they did. But the United States shouldn't have let it happen. We had stupid leaders. We had leaders that didn't have a clue. Or let's say they weren't business people, but they didn't have a clue what was happening. And all of a sudden, Ireland has, you know, our farmers.

Yeah, it's incredible, Charlie, what he's done in, what, 50 days or so. He's really literally rewriting everything, not just, you know, social structures, but he's also rewriting how things like Wall Street work with the tariff – situation, how he he's teaching people. And I'll be perfectly honest with you. I'm a free market person. I've my entirety. I started CNBC 20 something years ago.

I've always been an advocate for the free market. I don't like government involvement in markets. They tend to adjust themselves better than government does, but he, He taught me something this time. He, you know, he mentioned something called, you know, we have the internal revenue service, which means we're all paying money. We work hard. We pay our taxes.

That's the internal within the United States. But these tariffs are external revenue. Right. It's coming from the outside. And, you know, it really does tell you, well, maybe taking some of the burden off.

He started a couple minutes before. Elon at 4.05 says, I'm here to double my automobile output to the United States next year. Wow. After the market closes.

It was five times the market move because there were people attacking Elon Musk and Tesla because of his closeness to Trump and Doge. And so they were punitively damaging, the Wall Street was punitively damaging Elon Musk and Tesla. After the close, Musk says, we're going to double our output. And Trump says, I love this car. I want to buy one of these cars.

I said to the audience, I'm watching this at 408, 409. Tesla's going to open up a lot higher tomorrow, today. And it's going to run. And it's up $18 a share today. Here's my point. You don't mess with Donald Trump and Elon Musk, two of the smartest people in the world in markets. And that means it's not like they're making money for themselves, Charlie. They have plenty of money.

They're the richest man in the world. Trump's got $5, $6, $7 billion. He doesn't need the money. That's not what this is about. It's about helping the American people. It's about helping the middle class. And it is just fascinating to see because these are all – rewriting the way finance works. And we are all going to benefit from it.
