Exactly.
But let me go back to what you were saying.
You know, I mean, this is the mistake.
Donald Trump does not is not somebody you can rely on long term.
So here's my theory.
I do think
uh fundamentally we do need to be reader uh funded by our readers like a big portion more than 50 60 maybe even 70 and i don't know what the exact number is and and that's something that we have to work work it through i i have a also i also have a theory um again i'm saying this again because i'm not a journalist so i might be saying things that might make me look um
You can convince Donald Trump to do something for you short term if he thinks there's benefit to him.
but you cannot rely on him to stick to anything and to be a long-term partner with you on anybody.
And it's a huge mistake the Gulf States made.
It's what, it was interesting in this fight, you know, sort of, there's been an interesting fight between the two parties to figure out how to win over the hearts and minds of the Gulf States.
dumb or whatnot but i i'm not convinced i'm not convinced that audience size is our
Both parties have, you know, there was a, look, Joe Biden wanted to write those folks off, but the reality was there's too much American investment
Too much of the American business community does do business with the Gulf states and every presidential administration needs to be on good terms with that.
Is it panacea?
What's the word?
Yeah, panacea.
Yeah, I know.
