How's Trump looking on the tariff and financial front?

We're going to talk to our friend John Lefebvre about this right now.

He is formerly a guy who had a great book straight to hell and of the banking world

and he knows the finance stuff and he's always out there in the capitalist world doing what he does,

moving and shaking. And John, the tariff thing today, you know, now that Signalgate has passed as the

thing we all are supposed to pretend to care

about um tell me how you think this tariff thing is going to shake out and what you're seeing so

far you know the good the bad the ugly all of it uh okay um it's it's like everything else right now that we're looking at.

It's just noise, right?

And so the way I look at the tariff thing, the United States, and I don't want to be redundant

and kind of spout off the president's talking points, but we clearly have been ripped off for decades on this front.

And if you look at our approach to trade, even currently, we're behind every other developed nation.

So all we're talking about is equalizing the playing field or even just a threat of equalizing the playing field.

And it in terms of rhetoric and as a talking point has already borne fruit for the administration.

So every time the stock market goes up or goes down as it relates to the terrorists, it's kind of kind of pointless because, you know, if you think about the alternative where we were, right, GDP that was dependent on basically

deaths and spending and illegal immigration.

Make any of the changes that need to happen,

there's going to be some turbulence.

And so it just seems like it's noise from my perspective.

I mean, I don't spend too much time worrying about tariffs.
