Because it is like we lost 150 million people to this idea that you can change genders by saying you're the other gender. That is so obviously nuts. and would have been thrown at immediately anyone who said it. for my entire life up until like last week would have been thrown into the nut house.

Of course we will. Yes. I mean, I'm not saying, hopefully we, when I say we... We don't fall for it. But many of us probably will. They'll be very effective. And at least the people who fell for that you can change genders by saying you're the other gender are gonna fall for it.

It really is incredible. These things move really quickly in the Trump world. I think in a vacuum, I'm not a huge fan of tariffs either. Tariffs are a tax, and they do tend to do some economic damage. They raise prices. Donald Trump talked about that very specifically and said we could be seeing some short-term harm from this, but long-term, he thinks it's going to be worth it.

What I think is kind of fascinating about the way everyone's reacted over this particular round of tariffs is we're all kind of acting like we weren't here for the first term. The first term, a lot of this was talked about as well. Some of it went into place. Some of it was more targeted than initially proposed.

And some of it wound up just being what most of, I think, these threats are from Donald Trump, which are negotiating tactics. We all know how Donald Trump operates. And he puts something like this out there, a 25% tariff on Canada and Mexico. And within two days, he's already got a giant chunk of what he wanted to get done and a month delay.

And the month delay in these tariffs indicates he wants more. He hasn't had everything that he wants yet, but he's giving them a little bit of time to come across those lines so that these things don't have to go into place. And he is just able to do this in a way. that I think is central to his overall philosophy, that we don't need to apologize for being Americans.

We don't need to apologize for being a global superpower. You saw this with Panama, your great interview with Rick just a few minutes ago. The Panama Canal is in the hands of Panama because we all kind of felt bad. The Carter administration was like, oh, we don't want to be colonialists. You guys can have this incredibly valuable thing that we built with our blood and treasure.
