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.

You can just have it. And Donald Trump is turning that around and saying, we don't need to apologize for being Americans. We're going to be aggressive. We're going to stand for what we actually believe in and try to turn around these agreements that we have with these other countries that are not beneficial to us. America first kind of playing out in real time.

Yeah, it is working. You know, often, you know, when I talk to my daughter about cleaning her room, I will tell her, I don't expect you to be perfect. I just want you to care. I want you to actually care. That's all I'm asking. And I feel like that's all we're asking of like a Mexico. Right.

You don't we understand that you're not going to be able to stop every single person coming across the border. We have to have security on our side for that reason. Right. But you have to actually care. You can't be encouraging people. You can't be telling people that, you know, go to the border and please send back all the money to our country.

You can't be letting people from your southern border traverse through your entire nation without stopping them as they go to our border. That's a basic ask. And that's why, you know, look, tariffs as an economic policy, definitely not my favorite thing. But it is, everyone knows that, right? We know that it kind of can do some damage to both sides.

What our argument is, as the big boys on the block, is to say that, look, we know that the damage that it will do to you is a lot worse than it's going to do to us. So we will sit here and we will wait you out if we have to. We'd like to get to a place, and Trump has talked about this in the past, we'd love to get to a place where there was none of this stuff. There were no tariffs at all.
