Mr. Lesseps and the French company that had been brilliantly successful in the Suez could not do it. No one could do it in Panama. It required two or three things as we talked about. You had to conquer yellow fever and malaria. The United States did.

And you had to create new technology of steam shovels, trucks, special railroad cars of a magnitude nobody had ever seen before to get rid of the earth. And we did that. And we had... And Donald Trump was right about that, that we would have exclusive rights that no other country had.

And so this China deal, I think, was a violation both of the letter and the spirit of that treaty, both the original treaty and the one that Jimmy Carter signed away in 1979 that was active 1999. And so now we have done the income tax, which I think changed the whole nature of the United States.

Without the income tax, you don't have a federal octopus, you don't have a military industrial complex, and you don't have people working from January to May to pay their taxes. And you don't have social tensions when 40% to 45% of the American people do not pay any federal income tax.

Next time, we're going to talk about the guns of August and what caused Europe to commit collective suicide in 1914 and the outbreak of World War I. And why did we get into it?

He does. You can't finish any description of Elon Musk. I'm exaggerating, but not necessarily that much. When he tells that anecdote. And then the rocket started to descend. And then this mechanical erector set arm grabbed it. Can you believe that? They grabbed a missile in mid-flight. Elon did that. And by the way, Elon, no one else can do it. Only you can do it.

And so, yes, he has genuine admiration. That's why the hatred of Elon is so bizarre. Because... Everybody understands that without Tesla, you wouldn't have an EV industry. It's a viable, working, reliable car, and the big three can't even emulate it. And then without Elon, you wouldn't have a space program. NASA has gone off the rails. I don't know what happened to it.
