We're going to throw our weight around. You want access to our market. You're getting access to our market for free. We can't have that. I think China was always the big fish. And once China started to retaliate and Donald Trump decided he was going to ratchet it up and they retaliated again and then he ratcheted up again and then you have tick tock.

Obviously, there's a deal that's on pause now because right. You know, we're not going to we're not going to give you this win while you're while you're treating us like this. I think this was a great time to pull the trigger on a 90-day pause and essentially align the rest of the world against China.

Because our biggest problem is the trade issues that we have and the jobs that are being shipped out to China. I think it's very hypocritical for people to criticize. You have Bernie Sanders, $15 an hour minimum wage. He wants to treat the workers fairly.

But every time Donald Trump talks about ratcheting up tariffs with China, he's got a problem with it because A, B, C, D, E, F, and G. Meanwhile, the shoes that he wears are probably put together by a Vietnamese or a Chinese toddler, right? So it's unfortunate that this type of double standard exists. China exports to us five times more than we export to them.

So the tariffs that we're putting on China are going to impact them a lot more than they're going to impact us. I happen to think that Scott Besant is I think he is brilliant. I think he is probably right now to this day, my favorite Trump cabinet pick because of how he has been and just how strong his messaging, how sharp he is.

And I think that, you know, look, the 10 percent reciprocal that's going on during this 90 day pause, you still generate, you still raise a little bit of revenue off of it. But I do think the ultimate big fish the whole time was China. The little fish was fair trade deals with a number of countries where Looks like we're going to get those. So I think it's a win-win for the administration.

And I see a lot of people on the left kind of scrambling to say, well, he caved. Well, didn't you want him? You were just five minutes ago when the stock market was having a problem. You're like, he needs to stop. Then he stopped. He caved. So again, he can't win. You know, I think it was a... brilliantly played move.

And I do think there was a certain level of, you wanna call it chess deception, pre-planning. I think there was a level of that that took place here considering the players involved.

That's exactly what I was going to say. It's like Nolan Ryan is one of my favorite baseball pitchers. He was predictably unpredictable. He didn't want to crowd the plate because he throws 100 miles an hour, but he couldn't locate it. So you had to be real careful.

That was the name that I used on, believe it or not, TikTok when I first started going viral for the Trump stuff. That was my username. So that's where that came from.

Thanks very much. Appreciate you having me.
