Hello and welcome to the board podcast. I'm your host, Tim Miller. It is Monday. So, of course, we've got our editor at large, Bill Crystal.

Hey, Bill, what's happening? Tough weekend for LSU, Tim. I was thinking about it. Yeah, we're not talking about it. We could talk 20 or 30 minutes about it if you want, give you your analysis, the coaching situation. I think our viewers are very interested in that, yeah. Things are going much better with our trade policy than in Baton Rouge. So let's just go straight into that. The president has

decided to put an additional 10% tax on American consumers buying maple syrup and such from the

Canadians because he was very unhappy about an ad. You wrote about that this morning, reflected,

harkened back to the good old days where we could tease Canada lovingly, you know, as you would do in the weekly standard from time to time. What do you make of this, if anything? It's funny, the piece, I know that you just sort of said it, I realized I didn't even mention of the piece, but of course I just take it for granted, the utterly rampant illegality of everything Trump is doing. He's just, I don't like that ad.

10% uprise and hikes and terrorists for you.

What law is governing that?

An emergency exception that he can use for national security reasons.

I mean, it's beyond anything that he's just doing this.

And people, as I say, even I didn't scream and yell

and destructive his terror policies were. In my case, since I published Matt Labash's excellent piece

about how Canada was kind of the great white wasteland of the North or whatever the heck we

called it on the cover in 2005. It was prompted by,

remember all this people after Bush, George W. Bush won't be election. They were going to Canada there for like a few weeks. And so that was the late mesh went up there and attributed some of them for amusing piece. Anyway, in addition to not the illegality, just the craziness of the hill. Right. I was thinking about an interview I got coming up later this week and I was kind of mentally prepping for it.

And I was like, you can't, part of the reason I can't have, I want to try to have more

people that are at least, you know, whatever, I have a different perspective on Trump

on the pod just to kind of like hash it out.

He did win the popular vote last time.

But you can't have Republicans

on a show to talk about the tariff issue because none of them are for it, right? None of them

are for a random 10% tariff on Canada. I mean like what I mean, you know, Peter Navarro, like a handful
