Five Hot Topics Discussed in This Episode of the Capitalist Investor Podcast

In the latest episode of the Capitalist Investor podcast, hosts Diamond Hands D, Tony, and Luke tackle a variety of hot-button issues that are making waves in the economic and political landscape under the freshly inaugurated President Trump. Below, we break down the five key topics that dominated the conversation.

1. Trump’s New Tariffs

The episode kicks off with an in-depth discussion on President Trump's renewed focus on tariffs. Announced to start as early as February 1st, these tariffs target Mexico and Canada, with a proposed 25% levy on items over $800. Luke and Tony share their thoughts on whether this move is a negotiating tactic or a long-term strategy. They explore potential impacts on inflation, business relocation to the U.S., and the overarching goal of bolstering American jobs and tax revenue (00:02:00 - 00:08:49).

2. The Surge of Meme Coins and TrumpCoin

Cryptocurrency trends took center stage next, especially the unexpected launch and explosive popularity of TrumpCoin. Luke describes the unorthodox launch as an "inside job" where making a fortune hinged on being in the know beforehand. Within 24 hours, TrumpCoin's value skyrocketed by 28,000%. The hosts express mixed feelings about this development, weighing its legitimacy against potential insider advantages and its impact on the broader cryptocurrency market (00:08:49 - 00:19:06).

3. Executive Orders Galore

As expected, President Trump wasted no time in signing a slew of executive orders. Some highlighted during the podcast include ending DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) offices in federal institutions, revoking birthright citizenship for children born to illegal immigrants, and categorizing cartels as foreign terrorists. Additionally, significant changes like remote work adjustments for federal employees are anticipated to have a ripple effect on many American lives (00:19:06 - 00:22:33).

4. Pardons and Their Repercussions

The hosts also delve into Trump’s controversial pardons, including those related to January 6th participants and his family. In one fell swoop, Trump has granted pardons to individuals connected with January 6th, sparking significant debate. Luke contrasts this with Joe Biden's extensive commutations of death row sentences during his tenure. The conversation further covers Trump’s publicized, yet unfulfilled promise of potentially pardoning Nancy Pelosi (00:22:33 - 00:24:48).

5. Public Perception and Popularity of Trump

To wrap things up, the discussion shifts to Trump’s unique connection with the American people. From signing executive orders in front of live audiences to the crowd’s fervent reaction at his inauguration, the hosts underscore how Trump maintains his image as a "president of the people." This populist approach might be one of the key reasons behind the increasing consumer confidence and optimism among small businesses that the hosts claim to already see in data post-inauguration (00:24:48 - 00:31:21).

Overall, this episode encapsulates a wide range of subjects that not only define the early days of Trump’s presidency but also signal potentially transformative changes in American society and global economic relations.

Hello and welcome to this week's episode of the Capitalist Investor. As always, you have me, Diamond Hands D. We got the whole crew back together. Tony the Tiger, Cool Hand Luke. What's going on, boys? How was assignment last week? That's good, man. I got, I was out in Kansas City, got some amazing barbecue. I mean it's like. Or go to Kansas City. No, but like, this is a top five barbecue place in the United States that I was recommended to go and I had a. They're known for their burnt ends. I had a burnt and sandwich. Oh, yeah. Oh my God. Dude, it just had burnt ends. It was on a toasted bun. It had onion straws and provolone. And then I ordered a second one. I went full, I went full horse on it, man. I. It was so good. I walked. I like and I had to catch it. I was sick. I was sick, like going to the airport. I'm sitting there and I'm like, man, I'm miserable right now, but it was so worth it. Were you in Kansas City or Topeka? I was in Kansas City. Nice. Not Topeka. Kansas City. Do they have like the. It's like Cleveland, dude. It's exactly like Cleveland. Everything about it, the vibe, the look, this, how spread out it is. Same. A lot better football. The same population. They have a lot better football in, in terms of number. So. But yeah. Oh my God, dude, like they're. There are some heart. Like they look ridiculous. Like these dudes will dress up and you just, you got to be a special person to wear what some of these Kansas City, you know, cheap honkers are wearing. Holy cow. But anyway, I digress. All right, Good stuff. Well. Well, yeah. So. So President Trump is now in office and there's been a flurry of activity. So I think we're going to break it, break it all down. We're going to talk little tariffs. We'll talk the, the meme coins or the shit coins as the Internet calls them, executive orders and, and pardon. So. So yeah, let's start off with, with tariffs. So I know he's been throwing that word around the last couple days. Pretty loosey goosey. Kind of affected the market, I'd say a little bit before it opened when we, when he started talking about initiating some tariffs starting as early as February 1st. So. Yeah. What do you guys think? Hot take, Luke. What do you got? Hot take. My hot take is that this is gonna be short lived. I don't think this is gonna be something that's gonna last all four years of his presidency. I think it's gonna be a quick negotiating tool. I think the fact that you're seeing the whole world shift so quickly with Trump coming into office, for example, the Middle east, the situation getting resolved a day before his inauguration, essentially the ceasefire that was, I don't care what anyone says, maybe Biden was working on it for. There's no such thing as coincidence with that. Why was a cease fire deal the day before the inauguration of President Trump? It's because of President Trump. The fact that, you know, there seems to be other parts of the world moving. I think these terror situations, it'll be interesting. Mexico, it'll be interesting to see if the, you know, Ukraine, Russia thing, you know, that's. No one's really talked about that one. I know, like the, the Israel, much more complex. That one's much more complicated. You're not dealing with, you're not dealing with East Palestine with no weapons and stuff. You're dealing with Russia, who's there, basically, second or third biggest adverse adversary. Adversary. So, yep, much more complicated when you're dealing with nuclear weapons. Correct. Yeah. You know, honestly, I was gonna say about the same exact thing. You know, I think it's, it's, it's obviously a negotiating tool. I think everyone, except maybe the media realizes that. I am a bit unclear, though, on how he's going to take the tariffs and the External Revenue Service and get rid of the Internal Revenue Service. But that would be sweet if I didn't have to pay taxes anymore. I'm kind of, I'm kind of into that. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, he mentioned 25% tariffs on Mexico and Canada beginning February 1st. I also heard something where it could just be on items over $800. So that might, you know, it's not going to make a huge dent on a lot of our everyday necessities. But, you know, like, then there's just rumors saying, like, you know, when Trump came in. Or not rumors, but like the way Trump came in, he put a lot of tariffs in place and Biden never undid him. So now Trump's just bolting on what he did four years ago or eight years ago. Right. And you know, four years ago. And, but they're talking about how inflationary that is for the average consumer. And it's somewhere between 1 to 4%. And it's, it comes down to like actually monetary demographic, like how much money you make. And it's obviously a lot more impactful the less money you make, unfortunately. But I look at this as, you know, is this going to Force Canada to become the 51st state. Is this going to force companies that have left the United States, you know, maybe like John Deere, you know, things like that, building factories in Mexico. Is it going to force them to come back? And if that does, then it's, it becomes more tax revenue for the government, creates jobs here in the United States, brings things back, back. So could there be. It's like ripping off a Band Aid man, like. So there's two things here. Like if it does last long, could it be inflationary? Yes. If it doesn't last long, it's not going to be that inflationary, obviously, but let's say it does. Let's say these tariffs last all four years. And these are something that is not a quick negotiate negotiation tool. My theory was that these would not still be inflationary because it'd be offset by the Department of Government Efficiency. It be offset by the liquidity or taking out liquidity from the system by not printing trillions of dollars like we did the past four years. However, I will bring this up. I know we're talking executive orders, but this doesn't really go along with executive orders. Kind of goes more along with tariffs and maybe, you know, there the infrastructure, things like that. That's the $500 billion AI infrastructure investment they talked about yesterday. I mean that's $500 billion that they're spending essentially day one to try to get in there. So they. That's actually inflationary when you spend $500 billion of government money for AI infrastructure, whatever it be. So if you actually have terrorists. So I saw that. I didn't like I. The headline was this morning. Yeah, you know, is I. The way I understood it is that these companies are spending that money to create the infrastructure. The government's going to. I think it's combination of all softbank, Oracle and government. It's combination of $500 billion investment, but it's aided by the government. So, you know, the question we have to ask again is my entire life Republicans have never been fiscally responsible. Is this, is, is this, you know, all this all talk and no game essentially where we talk about actually balancing the budget, not deficit spending, or is this all going to actually be deficit spending like we've seen combined with inflationary pressures everywhere else, like tariffs? Yeah, very interesting. It's going to be very interesting to observe and we have to adapt that information as it changes over time. It's going to be one of those things though, that is kind of like the, the tax cuts that he did last time. It, it just doesn't happen overnight. So all of the, you know, like the Department of Efficiency, it's going to take a while for those things to, to start to make a funnel through the system. Yeah, exactly. And, and as much as, you know, everything's could be inflationary. Right. We have lived through some intense inflation over the last four years. It's not fun, but I feel that inflation can be absorbed by the American workers if they have jobs. And if we're going to start really jacking up the tariffs, it could force again, a lot of companies to come back home and create those jobs, therefore creating less inflation in the future. Could it be again? I think it's more of like, it's going to hurt. Like you said, Luke, it's going to hurt a lot more up front than it might be on the back end. But I guess we'll see how this plays out. I do agree it's more of a negotiation tool. I don't think he's looking to really jack everything up. Well, you actually lose money on tariffs. It does slow long term to slow economic growth. So the goal is to incentivize economic growth, lower taxes, deregulate, and actually provide more tax revenue to the government because of economic growth. So, you know, hopefully it's not around for a long time. Yep. All right. Meme coins, shitcoins, whatever you want to call them. So you obviously had the bitcoin and then you had, in theory, and then during COVID that's where the shitcoins really came into place. The, the Doge, or when it. What? Yeah, the Doge. You name it, man. Fart coin. Like, you name it. It's in my wallet. They have a coin to a girl coin. It's unbelievable. And I think they just get the word shitcoin because you can't really do anything with them. Just own it. And it's built on supply and demand and hype. But I'm so at

9:

00 on Friday, this past Friday, President Trump, people, because he's like, oh, yeah, I guess I have a coin. Is it doing well? Is what he said the other day, he launched a coin Trump, and not shortly after his wife launched one too. But the crazy thing is, man, is right before the inauguration, it's just like, man, what are you doing? Like, I'm gonna, I'm gonna, like, you know, I'm gonna, I'm gonna, I'm gonna have my, I'm gonna have this dude's back and then he's gonna start doing weird like this, like God damn, man. Stop it. Be normal. Get off Twitter. Like, just. Oh, my God. It's just like. I don't. It's bananas to me. But here's the other thing. Within 24 hours, this thing shot that. That coin. His coin shot up 2800, 28,000%. Somebody again, somebody put a million dollars in at 18 cents in it and wrote it to, you know, it's 300. It's worth $300 million. It has been flipped across many wallets. That's where, like, it's basically a bank account, right? For crypto. So they call them wallets. The wallets went back and forth and, dude, this is like some. Like, if you were in the know. Well, you made a lot of money and you had to be in the know because they launched this thing on some sign on Moonshot, which is like a coinbase. But who the hell uses moonshot? Look, it's like 1. 1. Less than 1% of people know how to do this. Go buy the coin. Like, you have to buy the coin and solarium. Is that what it's called? Like, yeah, you can't buy it in bitcoin. You can't buy it in the solarium. Who's ever heard of that? Nobody. Like, not. But I now own some. It's seriously, like 1 out of 100, maybe it could be 1 out of 500. People know how to execute the trade. It was such a. I hate to say it, like, not an inside job, but, like, you had to have known what you were, what it was happening, when it was happening, how it was happening. To have a million dollars in that moonshot, like, account to buy it, like, I just blows my mind, man. So Trump built his empire with a small loan of a million dollars, which I know honestly back, you know, Democrats and liberals hate on that quote, like, oh, small loan of a million. Well, okay, yeah, it was from his father. But at the end of the day, like, even back in the 60s or whatever, it be like a million dollars, a lot of money. But, like, that's not unheard of. Like, in, like, once you. When you're around this industry, maybe if you're not in the financial industry, that doesn't make a ton of sense. But you're around this industry, like 3,4 million dollar 5 million dollar alone. Like, if you are have some sort of revenue as a firm that you can go to small business, you know, sba, you can go to a lot of banks. You call it like angel. Exactly, Angel. It's not unheard of at all. So anyway, he's built his empire with a million dollar loan to multi billion dollar empire. He's worth like $2 billion. When he came into the presidency in 2016, in the matter of like eight years, he's like 5x his net worth, not because of anything else, but besides his social media company, was it Trump Social, what's it called? True Social. And this meme coin, well also his stock was. So it shows you how the world's changed. You take 60 years to build a real estate empire from a couple million dollars to billion, but then it takes you six years to accumulate like eight more billion dollars because you understand how the new system works, which is understanding, you know, cryptocurrency, understanding how asset prices get inflated by attaching your name to it, by going public with it. Like he's just playing the system. Well, I mean, he's just a good coin. This coin is creating $9 billion worth of wealth for him and he can't. Like they. So like when they make these coins, they create like a code, right? And the code says that the main, the main, the main coins. Who, you know, whoever owns the coin or whoever's launching it, which is Trump. Right. Or his family or whatever's doing, they can't do any, they can't sell the coin, they can't rug it. Like that's the code word for, for sweep, you know, pulling the rug out from everybody. It can't be rugged for three months. Yep. So it's not like it wasn't three days, three weeks, a month, whatever, like they got to hold it. So like there's three months now of up, down, left, right, hyper volatility in, in that particular coin. But I mean, $9 billion, because they will make money on the transactions as, as the coin is sold and as the coin is bought, they make a rip, they make a commission, and that's how he's going to generate the wealth. That Edison, it's, it's absolutely insane, man. It makes, it makes Pelosi with her inside quote unquote, the conspiracy theory, insider trading with all of her crazy options and everything, look like she's playing checkers. I mean, $9 billion. Yep. Wow. I mean, you know that. And again, I'll just. Conspiracy theories. And what, how I take. It's like, it's Baron, dude. It's his son, and it's probably his other son, Junior probably like, just like, dude, we gotta do this. Like, holy cow, right? Because that's what Baron did. He gave Trump, you know, Donald J. Trump gave his son Baron all these accolades for getting the young vote, getting on podcasts. Well, what else is famous and what else isn't popular with young voters and young people? Cryptocurrency. Yeah, I did. It's orchestrated perfectly. Would you buy it? I don't. Again, now, wait, it's too late. A. It's too late and could. Could, you know, rather than 28,000%, I mean, I think the normal person would make anywhere between 20 to 100%. If it continues to go up, it could easily lose 50% of its value very quickly. But now that it's on mainstream, I think you can buy it. Like, on what? Robinhood. You can buy it on Robinhood. It's on. See, you can get them on the main platforms that most people know how to. Everyone's like, you know, moonshot, what the hell? Like, like, seriously, like, that's where the crazy. What if it overtakes bitcoin and like, becomes 2 trillion dollar market cap. I could, I mean, I mean, just because of the popularity, but I mean, bitcoin, I don't think, like, the world would buy Trump coin. Americans would buy Trump coin. Now the world. The world might short Trump coin. All right, I digress. So you guys got anything to add? Meme coin? Well, I. So I. So the first, you're involved, you know. Oh, yeah, I'm in. All right. Definitely disclose that the. I am not involved. The first night or whatever, it went from 0 to 20 to $30 in that range. I. I woke up the next morning, I was like, okay, well, I'm gonna. I'm gonna put some money in because I actually just sold a little bitcoin at, you know, towards the highs. So I was like, all right, I'm gonna, you know, a third. A third. A third is my general strategy. So third now and then kind of wait to see what happens. So I put. I put in, you know, a relatively small amount of money, watch it bounce around, go to bed, next day, wake up, it's up like 140%. It's around 70. I think it has 75 at a point. So. So I didn't put any more in. So now I'm just going to hold it at this point. But it's a. I'm torn on this one, honestly, because, yeah, you know, it's. It. I need. I need some explanation, really. It's like, you can't just make $9 billion and be like, oh, did I. That's pretty. I know, right? It's like hu. It do well. Yeah, I guess that's What I hear, like, really, dude? And then, but the, the, the main reason that it, that it's half of half of that right now is because they launched a Melania coin. So, and you know, they, they call these things coins because you can just, you know, make them out of the clear blue. Right. That's, that's what happens. People, you know, random people make them, they pump, pump them up for a while, give them ridiculous names and then the, the creators essentially sell all their shares, crash the value to zero and take everyone else's money. See, I think this is actually a bad thing though, for crypto. Like, like, this is an example of like you call shitcoin. Like, this is not giving validation to the actual reason why crypto exists. So if, if Trump was a real bitcoin president, he wouldn't, I don't think, have done this. Right. Well, I mean, eight, nine, 10 years ago, like, I know in California you could have went and bought a Lamborghini with bitcoin. Yeah. Like, it doesn't exist here in Ohio. Like, people don't even know what a bitcoin is in Ohio, but in California, like, that's, they're, they're all on that high hyper technology stuff. And this was 10 years ago. You could have just walked in there with and gave them bitcoin and walked out with a Ferrari right here. It's like, you can't take your Trump coin and go and buy a Ferrari. You can't, like, it's just not, no one's going to accept it. If they did, they're insane. Now, would they take bitcoin? I'm sure they would. Right. Because it's more, it's more universal. Yep. So I don't know, man, that's, it's. I just can't believe he did it. Like, I just like rolling my eyes, I'm like, oh my God, this is like. Again, we'll go on the next topic. Like when you have, when you become famous, popular or politically popular, you like, like, I think Obama was worth a million dollars when he came into the office and now he's worth like 100 million or something like that. Like, that doesn't just happen. You don't 100x your money in like 10 years usually. Right. So he's using his political influence to go speak and use it. Once you go that high in politics, you can do whatever you want. I mean, they got books. I mean, I know that he would, I don't know what he would charge for like, you know, just a stadium speech 250 grand? Yeah, exactly. 100 grand. 250 grand. Like, I know people like just random athletes. Like, you know, I think didn't, you know, like, I think we had somebody come Manning again, 100 to $200,000, like, come and speak. Right. That's. It's crazy. So. All right, moving on. Executive orders. Well, we knew there was gonna be a bunch, so it's pretty. So, like, I mean, the ones that caught my attention and I mean, they are fast and furious. Like, they're. By the time this show airs, like, some of this stuff will be old news. But, like, you know, ending the DEI offices in all federal places work from home for federal. Like, that's a big deal. I meant to talk to Dave in our office because he said one of his family members or something like, was working from home, and he goes, man, if they shift this, like, it's really going to impact my life because, like, I've built my life over the last four years to do. To work from home, you know. Yeah. Not having to work. Yeah, well, like, the way like, you. You're able to like, take care of your family and your kids and timing and all this stuff, I guess you got to get back to the. Well, that sounds like there's. Yeah. Well, again and all that sounds fun and all. Like, must be nice to be around your kids. It must be nice to, you know, base your whole entire life from not working at an office. But, like, at the end of the day, we all have to work. So, like, I mean, have the best of both. There is one. I mean, sometimes when I am. I don't work from home very often. Maybe less than a handful times throughout the year, and it's for some particular reason. If it snows, too bad. But. But like, I mean, seriously, like, I do get a lot done because it's just like one thing after another. There's no interruptions. There's no, you know, I'm just there. I'm actually doing a lot of work. I'm not as productive, I'll be honest. Really, I get pretty productive. Like, it get. It's the ramp up slow because I'm just not used to it. But, like, once I get rolling, like, I bang out a lot of stuff very quickly. Yeah, but you know, the other thing you got rid of is like birthright citizenship. You know, if you were born. If you're. If your child was born from an illegal, quote unquote, illegal alien or migrant or whatever, they're not citizens where, you know, if you were born on this land Regardless if you were just visiting or whatever, like, you're an automatic citizen. Yep. So he's trying to revoke that. He's actually like, there's like 20. Like, half the states are battling that. So. Yeah, a lot of these are going to get tied up. Yeah, these are battles. This one's going to get tied up. Cartels calling them foreign terrorists. I mean, they could be. You ever see. You see some of that stuff on Twitter, man? Like, they have military weapons. Like, they are some nasty people, man. That's why I don't want to go to Mexico and any. Pardon J6 people. All of them, right. Just one. One fell swoop, you know, but then, you know, the other side of the aisle says, well, Biden, you know, commuted 37 of 40 people on death row, on federal death row. These are people that have killed, killed military people, police guards, murdered people in churches. Like, hate crimes. Like some. I mean, serious, like, serious stuff, like J6. I mean, I. I don't know, man. It's like, very touchy subject, but. And then you got, you know, he pardoned this whole family. All I'm gonna say is, with Trump's, like, pardons and executive orders, he literally sat in front of millions of people at a conference center at the stadium, I think it was the hub where they play hockey in Washington, and signed these orders in front of people, through the pens into the audience. He is a president of the people. I mean, what other president would sit in front of people, talk to them as he's signing, throw the pens into the audience? The whole inauguration was not about Trump. It was about us. And that's one thing that, like, is being shown with all the confidence we're all feeling, confidence that is shown in the markets. I mean, there's actually data to support how much consumer confidence is rising. Small business optimism is rising. I mean, there's this new sense of confidence, not because necessarily of just Trump being there, just because people feel like Trump is looking out for us. Do you know how president of the people do you know how many people have told me, like, I watched the whole thing, like, even when they were sitting there eating lunch, and they're like, hey, what did he eat? And I'm like, is this a real conversation? Like. And they're like, have they ever done this before? I'm like, yeah, they do, but no one cared. Yeah, this is like a huge different. You got a different vibe around it. And, you know, the one person, It'll be interesting. He didn't pardon Pelosi. And they're starting to tie her to the J6 stuff and the insider trading. I don't know. I. Dude, again, this stuff is just wild. I don't know what to make of it, but I don't know, it's just so many layers of weirdness. Yeah. I mean, you, you can have your opinions on January 6th, but I mean, Joe Biden pardoned like 8,000 people. Like, it was five times more than anyone else has ever done. And all. Basically he said he was going to do none of it and did it all on the last day. And who knows if that, you know, it sounds like, I mean, this is a complete tangent, but how about Mike Johnson, speaker of the House? I got that right. Yep. Basically telling the whole world that Joe Biden is a vegetable. Yeah. Everyone just, oh, okay. He's like, oh, I did sign that. I would have never done that. What you're referencing is the natural gas thing. He's like, you know, like, we just banned essentially exports and natural gas to like Europe. He's like, what are you talking about? Joe Biden said that. Like, that's what you're referencing there. If you haven't watched that Mike Johnson talking about that, I would recommend our viewers to go watch. There's only two possibilities. Either Mike Johnson is lying to everyone, or that actually happened. And I don't think Mike Johnson is, you know, a world class actor. It looked convincing to me and, you know, it kind of backs up what. I mean, everyone has been seeing with their eyes for the last four years. It's like, I mean, Biden was, they said he was like the Most vacation President 40 of the time he was on vacation. How do you come up with all of this stuff when you're on vacation? Like, serious. I don't know, man, but if you're. A Democrat, like, how do you, how do you, how do you, how do you rationalize that in, in your mind? Because normal people were saying, hey, in 2020, this guy. I don't think it's gonna, I don't think it's gonna work out here. And it's been proven that that was correct. 20 million, 20 million votes came out of nowhere. Yeah, exactly. Talk about that. So again, man, like, there was. I feel like there's just someone else behind the curtain. There always has been, for the most part. I mean, the President really is not. President's always been the puppet, but that's what makes Trump different. He doesn't want to be the puppet. And that, that threatens the system. Well, I'm waiting for those JFK Files. Yeah, I'm waiting for those. What was it? So what. What did he say he was gonna release the. He said he's releasing everything. Aliens, too. Aliens. I think the aliens is a big, like. Like, Is that like, Area 51 stuff coming out? Time. A Project Bluebeam. Yes, that's what I'm talking about. Blue beam. Yeah, Project Blue Beam. You don't know where the project. Okay, conspiracy time. Yeah. Bluebeam. Was it that. So essentially, it's like a theory that governments involved, whether it's drones or technology to make it look like either we're getting invaded by aliens or maybe it's like a God, maybe like a religious kind of thing that people will believe. But basically it's a way to misdirect the public to believe or create a one controlled government or to try to, you know, give us, you know, give more freedoms away to the government, essentially. So it's kind of like the Project 25 thing too? No, that's something that. Not even close. I gotta. I gotta write this down. Bluebeam. Huh? I gotta go. I gotta go read. Because there's like. There's like, been videos and whether they're real or not or like, of light beams coming down, like, from like, so, like energy beams. Well, there was one of those in California recently, which people are saying, well. Didn'T they say that's what lit up Hawaii? That's a different conspiracy. That's space lasers. Yeah, space laser. We're going to Mars, too. I guess this is where. Isn't it supposed to take, like 30 years to, like, fly to Mars or something? Like it. Wasn't it something insane? It has to line up correctly. Well, you have to leave at the right time. But I think if you leave at the right time, it's like two years. It's only something like that. Okay. Did you see how happy Musk was? He was like a little child when. When Trump said, we're gonna put an American flag on Mars. And then Trump goes like. Like, he starts making these faces like, oh, my God. Oh, my God. Like, Elon's gotta control his gestures. I think they showed that. They showed Elon behind Baron. Okay. Yeah, yeah. And it was just like, oh, I. I'm gonna say something just because I. I observed it. There was some crazy people at the inauguration. There were some crazy people with some crazy comments. Like, you know, Baron's very emotionless. Trump is. Or Musk is kind of more of a weird kind of emotion because he's like. He's literally says he. He had. Has asperger's like, he's got a form of. He doesn't. Like, his body doesn't move the right way, and social interactions don't necessarily move the exact way they maybe should. Right. So there was, like, a comment, like, two different forms of the Tis, like, Baron. Just no emotional this entire time. And then Musk making that, like, face when they said the Mars. Like, just. It was funny observing that comment. Yeah, I mean, like, the. I mean, he had, like, you know, Mike Tyson was there. The Paul brothers were there. Theo, like, he's like a Internet. Yeah, dude. He fell and broke a chair. And I. It's just. It's just the people there were just. It's a wild time. It was. That's what I said on Friday. I'm like, wow, dude. Pardons. Executive orders, coins. Like you had. Holy cow, what a. What a week. Dana White sitting directly next to Barack Obama. Oh, man. Just a wild. A wild scene. All right, maybe one day we'll be there, guys. Maybe. I don't. I don't think I want to be there. Stay far away from that mess as possible. All right. Well, yes, Spectator, It'll be an interesting four years here, so we'll. We'll see how it goes. But.
