We all understand that they're doing things in that country that we don't want done and we think are horrible. But we have to be able to talk to them and at least get โ we didn't trade an international terrorist this time, which is a really good outcome. The fact that we can get someone who's totally innocent back here on our soil is a massive, massive win.
Yeah, it's interesting. I mean, I don't think it was his plan for it to play out this way. You know, I think I would hate to be honestly an aide of President Trump because he just has this way. When you go into Washington to be an aide, your job is to kind of say whatever you can to make things seem as positive as possible.

And then a lot of times Donald Trump is like, yeah, I'm just going to tell the truth. So he just comes out and kind of undercuts you. That wasn't it at all. Yeah. Yeah, not at all. Actually, I just thought people were getting yippy. And I think that's true. Right. I think one of the strengths of President Trump in situations like this is he's not particularly all that ideological at these moments.

And while I think he has a real true belief in in tariff policy, it's something I think is one of them. He's been the most consistent on since, you know, gosh, back in the 1980s. I remember this guy talking about it. He also recognizes that there there are downsides. He warned about pain going into that and seeing the reaction of this. He may have thought, too, that the rates would come down.

There'd be an additional benefit when they didn't go that way. It did, I think, shake him a little bit. And he was willing to come out and say, look. You know, I think the most important part of this is the China part of it. I'm going to stick by that. Let's give a 90-day... Everyone can take a breather here a little bit here and see where this goes.

You know, as a guy who believes in free trade, I'm not a fan of tariff policy, generally speaking. China, of course, as an adversary, there's a little bit of a difference there. But I think this was the right move for President Trump to remove this. I think it was too widespread. And, you know... There are a lot of good arguments to change our policy towards China. They do cheat.

They are an adversary and they're not out for our best interest. I think such a broad strategy here where everyone, including allies and people like Israel, who went to zero percent, still tariffing countries like that, I don't think is particularly the right policy. But then again, no one voted for me. They voted for him.

Yeah, I think that's definitely overstated. I heard you talking about not panicking. And of course, that's incredibly good advice. It doesn't do any good for you if you do panic. And of course, it doesn't change the policy either. So it doesn't really matter. When you talk about the markets overall, it's a sign. And I think
