00:00Yeah, it's a, you know, this is the distraction of the day.

00:05The art of distraction. Don't get distracted by distractions, we say, and here we zig and zag.

00:11This is the debate they want. This is their 80-20 issue as they've described it.

00:18You know, those that believe in the rule of law defending it, but it's a tough case because people

00:23really, are they defending MSR 13? Are they defending, you know, someone who's out of sight,

00:27out of mind in El Salvador? I mean, we're perfect sheep. So I want to answer your question.

00:33I don't know. I had much value answering it. I mean, are you kidding me? Come on.

00:40I remember I saw some punit the other day. So I remember that Newsom guy when he did gay marriage

00:43in 2004. The hell is he talking about? He's kept marrying people, 4,036 couples from 46 states and

00:50six countries. What about the rule of law? Well, maybe they forgot. The judges said there was no

00:55irreparable harm. And when the judges, the California Supreme Court, said we should stop,

01:02we stopped immediately. It wasn't even in question. When a judge adjudicates,

01:07it's not a question. How in the hell are we even debating that? It's Orwellian that you're debating

01:16that. And it's exactly the debate they want because they don't want this debate on the tariffs.

01:20They don't want to be accountable to the markets today. They don't want to answer for NVIDIA

01:24taking a $5.5 billion charge. They don't want to have a real conversation with Christine and what's

01:30going on in terms of the export uncertainty here in the Valley. They want to have this conversation.

01:37Don't get distracted by distractions. We're all perfect sheep. Thank you guys very much.
