And something I would connect this to, you talk about young voters all the time. Think about all the support Donald Trump had, especially from young men. We've seen that support plummet. And you know why? Because, yeah, they wanted to end wokeness and they wanted to be the men that they were again until they realized, oh, no, the most important thing is the economy.

And suddenly, with rates where they are, if I need almost 500 grand for my first home, I don't have money like that.

If suddenly all the businesses I want to work at, the graduate degree I want to get, the research job I want to get is gone, suddenly they don't care so much about Trump ending wokeness, half of which wasn't even true, because you're actually seeing our concrete economy, our place in the world as a superpower, start to be in question.

Because tariffs, especially in the way that he's rolling them out, are the most restrictive rules. And when you've got a White House that does not have a unified message, I mean, let's just be honest. You've got Scott Besant saying something different from Howard Lutnick. You've got Trump saying on Sunday, right, when everybody was like, couldn't wait to go buy tech stocks. Oh, my goodness.

The exemption parade is coming. Howard Lutnick goes on television and says, oh, those tech exemptions, they're probably going to only last a month. When that happened, my phone was ringing off the hook from guys like, he's, Lutnick's going to get fired, right? He's off the rails. He's not our message. And then two hours later, Trump's like, nobody's off the hook.

Something that I've actually heard in the last two days was something I hadn't thought about, but I'm hearing more and more guys talk about. is Trump's leaning toward authoritarianism.
