Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln radio studio at the George Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty. Armstrong and Getty. And now here's Armstrong live from Studio C. Senor. A dimly lit room deeper than the bowels of the Armstrong and Getty Communications compound. And hey, y'all. Today on Friday. Oh, my God, it's Friday. It's Friday. Friday. Getting down on Friday. Partying. Partying, yeah. Today we're under the tutelage of our general manager. I'm sorry, just to clarify, are we going to party in the front seat and party in the back seat? Absolutely are. Oh, my Lord. You're gonna hate me for this, but our general manager today is inescapable. Trump. Trump. Trump. Trump. Trump. Trump. Oh, my God. All day, Trump. Why always Trump? And that's the President of the United States. Why. Why is he our general manager of all things? I've got, like, you know, as usual, 27 different topics, slash stories, slash headlines to discuss. And of those 27, I would venture to say roughly 24 of them begin with the Trump. Trump names. Trump declares. Trump changes. Trump nominates. Trump signs. Trump defends. I'm scrolling through right now. There's literally all the big news stories of the day, including an inexplicable change to Veterans Day. More on that to come. Do you think it should be that way? Or is it the media obsessed and the clickonomics that drives that? But partly both. I think in the case of the things I'm looking at, it's pretty legitimate. There are a number of significant moves, changes, nominations, assignings, et cetera. The. The pace of change is a bit much, I think, for a lot of folks. Did we need to shake up Veterans Day? Do I need to think about that right now? Is this. Is there not there not enough plates in the air? Anyway, my favorite thing is I saw him. We'll have to get this clip. He. He spoke to the graduating class of Alabama yesterday, and he said, you're the first class to graduate in the new age of prosperity or something like that to the golden age of America. That's what it was, the new golden age of America. And everybody cheered and everything. So. All right, there you go. Cooler. Those poor kids are going to graduate to a world where you don't have 30 dolls, you have only two, and they cost a little more. AI does all the jobs. Yeah. Just to explain myself briefly, Trump said he issued some sort of proclamation yesterday. He would rename Veterans Day as Victory Day for World War I and designate May 8 as Victory Day for World War II. Celebrate U.S. military victories. And he posted on Truth Social explaining himself. We can discuss later. But it is curious, huh? Yeah. I'd like to hear the explanation. What about, like, Vietnam vets and Korean War vets? I think the way we took the armistice of World War I and turned it into a day to celebrate all veterans, particularly people who've served in wars, it was a pretty good idea. I would agree. I don't have a problem with it. So I want to try my new thing. So I. I'm at home because I'm sick. Because I'm a very weak man. I'm sick all the time. I installed a cough button on my microphone so I can cough without. So I'm going to try it out right now. I'll start coughing. I'll press the button in the midst of my cough to see if it's. This is exciting. And I'm back. It works quite beautifully. The only regrettable part is the first establishing that you are coughing part, which I think is, you know, probably unnecessary. Well, we've heard you coughing enough to believe. Okay. It was like the American worker, Jack, A productive cough. Oh, God. Well, we had to lose the. Do it. Oh, God. We got the jobs numbers out. So how do we read these left to right? That's always the best way. US beat expectations with 177,000 jobs added in April. Take that, stupid expectations. I don't. You know, I don't. We don't quite get the whole expectations game. Quite. But. So the unemployment rate stays at 4.2%. But is this good enough? There is no less meaningful number in America, or perhaps the universe, than the unemployment rate. It is so fraught with dishonesty and hidden people and all sorts of. Lots of reasons, including if you're not looking for work, it doesn't count. So all the people that are home who aren't looking for work, Aren't unemployed, I guess. I don't know. Yeah, I'm just gonna smoke pot and play video games and exist off the hard working taxpayers. Generous teat. All right, well, you're not unemployed. Or my parents or my girlfriend. Right. I've known a few women do crimes. I. I empty out CVS's in cities and. And resell the goods. I've known a few women who've got boyfriends slash husbands who are just always looking for a job but never seem to get one. The. Yeah, I married the opposite kind. Generous Te. Yes. That's not a bad band name. I don't know what our music would be, ladies and gentlemen, Generous Generous Te. The Generous Te. Yeah, it's like one of those bands that's not the Beatles. It's one name. How do you decide whether The Alarm, for instance, whose leader passed away the other day? But anyway, how do you decide whether or not to put a the in front of your name? I say the for every band just to have an all encompassing take care of things. But why do some bands decide not of the? Because it's more artsy and cool. Because you're the Rolling Stones. You're the Beatles. Correct. Correct. Yeah, but you are, for instance, Eurythmics. I. I would say the Eurythmics. Oh, you fool. I've said it 10,000 times. Introducing songs from you. Here are the Eurythmics. I know, and it's annoyed me every single time. And the Counting Crows. I'm sorry, Counting Crows. I need an article. No, no, see, you're not hip. I need to know that we're not in the effort of trying to figure out how many crows are amongst us. I need to know. This is a title. Yes, and. And your sort of unhip type extends to. It's always funny to hear old timey announcers like on the BBC, who could not have been less hip, announcing the new record from the Pink Floyd, for instance. I've never said the Pink Floyd. That. That one I've not done. Ah, we should start the show officially on this Friday. Test out my cough button during it. I'm Jack Armstrong, he's Joe Getty on this. It is Friday, May 2, the year 2025. Or Armstrong, you getting. We approve this program. Let's leap into action then. Officially, according to FCC rules and regulations, the show starts officially at mark. First they came for the Latinos outside of the Home Depots. And I didn't say anything about it because I'm not a Latino at the Home Depot. Hey, man. So I think it occurred to him, he's like laying in bed and he thought, you know, Latino and Home Depot. Ryan, there's got to be something I can do with that. Congressman Hank Johnson of Georgia. They came for the. At the Home Depots and I said nothing. Continuing to search for some sort of hook to drag the American people back to their warm embrace on the D side of the aisle. I think he was riffing on the whole. They came for the Catholics and I said nothing. They came for the Jews and I said nothing. Yeah. When they came for me, there was no one left to say anything. Right, Exactly. They came and they came for the Latinos at the Home Depot and the blacks at the Nordstrom racks. We could keep going, but we won't. Yes. I don't know. I was kind of looking forward to it. Here's the most interesting thing I've heard today. I should start every day with this. What's the most interesting thing either one of us have heard today since we go through so much news from when we wake up to when we start this show? Most interesting thing I've heard today is that old Mike Walls, who got moved from national security director to ambassador to the UN which we found out later in the day yesterday, which moves you out of the inner circle. Still a real job, but you're not in the inner circle anymore. It's JD Vance trying to claim, tried to claim it was a promotion, but it's definitely not. You're out of the inside. You're in the room for the big decisions. You're not that person anymore. You're moved outward. Exactly. But the most interesting thing is it is a confirmation position and they are going to have the full signal gate investigation is going to be his confirmation hearing. That is going to be quite the dealio getting to the bottom of that. Yeah. And I heard Democrats talking about it and salivating over it. And it will. It will be purely an effort to oppose Trump to deal a couple of bruises his way to. Well, just true claim a. Claim a scalp. I don't true. But I would. I would like to. I would like to have this. You know, Republicans will be to push back. Can we freaking nail down once and for all what's classified, what's not, what's a secure way of communicating, what's not. If everybody's using signal, then let's decide signal is okay. If it's actually not okay, then decide it's not okay. But let's figure that out once and damn for all he was sitting in the meeting yesterday or day before two days ago, the big cabinet meeting that we played clips from. He was sitting in that cabinet meeting with his phone out on signal with a whole bunch of different people. Now, a number of former and current people in government have come forward and said that is completely out of bounds. You cannot be in a cabinet meeting with your phone out on a non government communication device. You just. That is just absolutely out of bounds. Or it isn't. Let's figure that out. You got. I don't know. He must think it's fine if he was sitting there in the cabinet meeting once again using the same platform. Yeah, yeah. I, I am so befuddled by this. I've kind of given up on figuring it out because somebody or everybody is lying or obfuscating and I just thought I don't have the bandwidth, as they say. Right. So you got that? That'll be exciting. There is way too much scoring points for my team. That always goes on in this stuff. Just yay, we damaged the other side a little bit. Woohoo. Or yay, they tried to damage us and we held firm. Yeah. Yeah. What does that do for us, the American people? Anything. Anything. Not a damn thing. Let me try my cough button again. Oh, Lord, it worked. They came for the Brits at Abercrombie and Fitch. That's harder than it looks. Yeah. So we got the headlines on the way, we got clips of the week. We got a big hour here and lots of news of the day. Hope you can stick around. Armstrong and Getty.

I have a doctor's appointment this morning, but my doctor I've had forever moved to a new office. They got a new scale that got an interesting facet to it. Really? Yeah. Huh. I've only encountered two kinds of scales at doctor's offices in my life. I think I don't want to steal your thunderous thunder. We will discuss a lot of good stuff to squeeze in this hour. Big show guaranteed. Why is Trump changing Veterans Day? Among less significant questions. But bringing back Columbus Day. Kick ass. Yes. Finally, in all its traditions, its beloved traditions. Let's figure out who's reporting what. It's the league story with Katie Green. Katie? Well, well, it's the top story from the Washington post. Employers added 177,000 jobs, a solid showing amid tariff uncertainty. So who, who wrote that headline? What, what publication is that? Washington Post. That's Washington Post. So they, they used a good positive word. Yeah. So Washington Post goes with solid. That's good. I mean, that's the sort of thing we're looking for, right? Yes, solid is good. Excellent. Wall Street Journal was fairly flat on theirs. Added 177,000 jobs in April despite tariff uncertainty. But no real positive. New York Times says U.S. job growth remains Strong. Okay, that's interesting. The Wall Street Journal is the one that didn't have a positive word in the headline from the Washington Times. Judge Rules Trump Can't Use Alien Enemies act to Deport Trend Nicaragua Gang Members. Okay. Yeah, it was always a bit of a stretch. Honestly, looking at the reasoning, this one will bounce back and forth in the courts for a minute, I'm sure. A Trump appointed judge, by the way, from abc, Trump said he's, quote, taking away Harvard's tax exempt status. Bunch of phonies. Yeah, Harvard is despicable, absolutely despicable. I don't think that can be done by executive fiat. In fact, I'm certain it can't be politically. All our my lawyer friends only care about legally and they're probably right. But politically, this is a huge win. Not even close. The percentage of people who want Harvard to get their comeuppance versus people who want to stand up for sure. The more I read about, for instance, Harvard's own recent anti Semitism report, the more I read, the more disgusted I become. Every time I think I'm as disgusted as I'm going to get, I come across more information. Just utterly unforgivable. I mean, I don't want to get off on this now, maybe we'll talk about later, but the real, the realignment of the political parties that we've all seen happening over the last couple of segments. You think the average working class dude gives a crap about people standing up for, you know, whatever Harvard needs to be stood up for and their tax exempt status? Right. From the New York Times, Marco Rubio, Secretary of Everything yeah, he's now Secretary of State and National Security Advisor. Makes you wonder if that one job is needed. If one person can do it. The he is the first to hold those two jobs since. Does. Can anybody remember Anybody know HK Hint. That's. That's right. Since Henry Kissinger. But again, lowest talker ever. If one guy could do both jobs, I'm not sure one of those jobs is necessary. From NBC. Trump signs executive order to stop federal funding for NPR and pbs. Yes, I love that argument. Always is. We barely get any funding. Okay, then let it go. Okay, if you don't get much, then I guess you don't need it. So you'll operate on your own. Fine. But America needs our unbiased and thorough journalism Responds America from the New York Post. I felt insecure about being tall, but now I get paid $10 million a year as an onlyfans model. Yeah, I. That's my least favorite clickbait bait is I'm so hot that it's caused me problems in my life. Whatever. This one's also from the New York Post. Purses made from T. Rex. This company claims leather made from 66 million year old dinosaur DNA is coming. Yeah, it makes the dire wolves running around announcement look legit. Oh, really? I want to hear about this. Cool. And it's. It's. It's bull duty. And finally, from the Babylon Bee. Bad timing. Kilmar Obrego Garcia, honored with Ms. 13's Employee of the month award. Wow. And so we got clips of the week coming up. And also changes at scales and doctor's offices, at least at mine. And it was overdue, actually, so we'll get to that. Coming mailbag. Also, lots of news of the day.

Visit Vizio.com today, speaking of things the working class does not care about, which is an important voting group reading this article in the New York Times about the Kennedy center and which symphony orchestras, for instance, refused to perform. Now that Trump has weighed in on the Kennedy center and blah, blah, blah. And of course, it was fine for decades to have a bunch of liberal musicians, actors, whatever, get up there and badmouth all conservative principles, right? But now that Trump's involved in the Kennedy center, oh, you can't perform there. What a bunch of crap. And not only, you know, disagree with what we might espouse, but call us monsters. Oh, yeah, yeah, Troglodytes. And, and what was Hillary's basket of deplorables and the rest of that. Yeah, okay, great. Shut up, Peggy Noonan. Amen to that. Peggy Noonan, brilliant editorialist. Another great piece today in which she takes aim at a number of different folks, including Trump, with some fairly legitimate criticism, I think. But one of the things she's pointing out, as we have and others have, is the utter miserable failure of so many of our elites, our so called elites, education, health, establishment, government, you know, politicians, the arts, just, just lying to us, abusing us, playing us for idiots, et cetera. And the idea that Trump caused Trump is perhaps the most idiotic notion I've ever come across. He was a reaction to America looking at all of the elites and Jack, you mentioned a couple of them, the Harvards of the world, and saying, wait a minute, not only are these people not looking out for us, they're contemptuous of us and they abuse us on a daily basis. Well, I would like to put my thumb in their eye. Sure. And for all these years we've had to just sit there and take it, right? Watching tv, going to concerts, whatever. You do get lectured about how awful you are. Yeah, yeah. Peggy Noon and I will just summarize very, very briefly. She comes to a point where she thinks there may be a transition from normal people like ourselves saying they had it coming, to, oh, they didn't have that coming. And whoa, we didn't have it coming. Oh, wow, that's good. Talking about the economy and tariffs and stuff like that. So, yeah, I thought that was really good and clever as always. So much to talk about that first. It's the Friday tradition. Let's take fond look back at the week that was. It's cow clips of the week. America wants our land, our water. I need a lot of water. Take that, you stupid hoser of a week. President Trump and President Volodymyr Zelensky reunited at his funeral. I read President Trump's book the Art to Make a Deal. Putin thinks that America has taken the bullet train to Chunktown. We are over the shock of the American betrayal, but we should never forget the lessons. But you're going to take this forward. This is really stunning news that Mike Waltz, the national security adviser, pushed out, but now in as the nominee for the United nations ambassador. President Trump's call to the founder and executive chair of Amazon peeved. Maybe the children will have two dolls instead of 30 dolls. They have ships that are loaded up with stuff, much of which, not all of it, but much of which we don't need. Milwaukee County Circuit Judge Hannah Dugan faces multiple charges for allegedly obstructing ICE agents while a state prosecutor and victims of domestic violence are sitting in the courtroom. It is a sad reflection on the state of our media that you obsessively try to shill for this. Ms. 13 terrorists. Let's move on. Wait a minute. Okay, Terry, Terry, Terry. He did not have the letter MS.13. It says MS.13. That was photoshopped. Hey, they're giving you the big break of a lifetime. You know, you're doing the interview. I picked you because frankly, I never heard of you. But that's okay. But I also was on the ticket, quite honestly, you know, because I, I could code talk to white guys watching football, fixing their truck. And Dougie's here too. Yada die die die. Yada die, yada die. Da da da da da. Robert De Niro's 29 year old child, Aaron has come out as transgender. When the press asked her for said you talking to they them. How did you guys meet? Not talking about this. No. No. Gonna take you with our next speed right here, man. Yes, sir. Let's be legendary. But you're gonna have to wait a little bit longer, man. I just had a really good idea. Let's start another United States somewhere else. Same constitution, same principle, same declaration of Independence, but have a careful screening process before people can come into it because, you know, in principle, this is still an amazing, amazing country. So I've got a doctor's appointment today during the show. I'm going to disappear for a brief amount of time. Doctor's office happens to be right by my house, so I'll be gone long. I'm filling out the paperwork during the commercials. You know the. So you don't have the pre registration? Yes. And then when you get there, they ask you the same questions again. Yes. And you wonder why you did it and you Asked them why and they say it's something. Something. Everybody's eyes glaze over and you never get a straight answer. This is kind of gross, and I apologize if you don't like gross. Tune out for two minutes. But I'm filling out the paperwork and it says, how would you describe your cough? Here are the options. Oh, boy. Dry cough, wet cough, wet cough with brown discharge. Oh, wet cough with blood tinged discharge. Oh, wet cough with pus like discharge. There's. Oh, good God. Or wet cough with bloody discharge. I feel like there's three different than the other one. I feel like, like at least three of those. You should be at the er. She shouldn't be home filling out this paperwork. Yeah, I agree completely. I'm horrified by this. Oh, my God. If you have those oh, yeah, symptoms, get to the doctor yesterday. Yeah. Go to the stock in the box or your neighbor who's a nurse or something. Don't wait for your appointment at 3 this afternoon. If some of those things are happening to you. Jeez. Here's the thing. Your symptoms. Well, I've been coughing up blood. Really? How long? Six weeks. Blood. Among other things. So here's. I think I played this bit on the air as you're talking about my. My doctor moved, got a new doctor's office. And one major change that I've noticed is the new scale. And I think we played this a year or so ago. It's a bit Louis CK had. It was all about this woman who was really overweight and she went to the doctor and they needed to weigh her, but they didn't have any scales that could handle her weight. And so they took her to the zoo. Then waiter at the zoo, and. And he was talking about how just incredibly, you know, just bad for your juju it is to have to them to say to you, I'm sorry, we're gonna have to drive you over to the zoo and weigh you. We don't have any scales that can handle you. Right, right. Not even like the freight yard or, you know, somewhere else that weighs heavy things? No, the zoo. Oh. And. And his, his main point, which I thought was really good, is it's like everybody's overweight and we still have the old timey scales. He said, there are two trans people in America. We changed every bathroom in the country. But if you're overweight, you have to go to the zoo to get weighed at the doctor. Which is a decent point. But I did notice that the doctor with the new doctor's office, they have the big giant Pull your semi up on there and get it weighed. Empty platform for weighing people. Now, at the zoo, the thing is the size of the doctor's table. Yes. Right. The doctor's office scale is now the size of a card table. It used to be tiny, you know, you stepped up in there. Your two feet barely fit on there there, like the scale I've got at home. But now it's the giant lumber up there. 600 pound person scale. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. You don't necessarily lumber up there. They weigh everybody on that scale. They don't have two lines. One for the not immense and one for the immense. I feel we're getting on there because I walk, you know, I take several steps, stop and rest and then wait until I get to the middle of the scale and stop and weigh myself because it's so giant. But I, you know, I suppose that's a change that needed to happen. Yeah. That's funny. My doctor's offices have had those for years and years. Kind of a big platform. Yeah. What? You know, well, it. Pizza trip to the zoo, huh? Yeah. I'm sorry, we're gonna have to wait till they're done with the rhinoceros. All right, step right up. Would you like some hay while you wait? Oh, no, no, yeah. Appropriate the indignity of being taken to the zoo. Of course. Yeah. I'm against that. And they've had to reinforce, you know, gurney's beds, all kinds of stuff that were made really, for nobody over 250, 300 pounds, which almost didn't exist when I was a kid. Right. Toilets too. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's fine. That happens. Foods going to take care of that. He's going to get rid of the food dyes and the, the ultra processed stuff and will he be helping healthy again? It's the freaking seed oils. Yes. Katie, you have a comment on this? I just, I, I went to the doctor recently and I noticed that our, our scale, they're doing it in kilograms instead of pounds. So it looks a lot lower, which I appreciate it. No, that's pretty good. Now, congratulations. You're only 60 kilograms. Yeah, right. Wow, that's weak. We're Americans, first of all. What, are you going to some weird foreign Canadian doctor? That's terrible. No, American doctor. Just giving it to me in kilograms. Yeah. I'm completely sympathetic toward this because I have friends and family who are on the heavier side and as so many people are. And certainly the idea that the doctor's office can't weigh you is crazy. Right, right. We Must adapt and overcome. Speaking of which. Yes. A quick word from our friends at Simply Safe Home Security.

Visit vizio.com today. We don't usually do random crime stories for you. It's not our thing. But I got a great, great one for you later. Maybe I'll get to among other things to talk about today and the usual swirl of Trump that was Joe's general manager today. Trump in everything. A list of things he's declared, signed, changed, etc. Some of it great, some of it what? Here's your freedom loving quote of the day sent along by alert listener Brian. I like this. It's from Naseeb Naseem Taleb. Well I was just reading about a fascinating guy, the wickedly talented Nassim Celeb. Different, different fellow. He's actually a mathematician, writer, thinker. It's written some groundbreaking universally worshiped books about probability and black swan events and how to. I love that sort of thing. Be prepared for me. Yeah, you know what? I will. We'll see if we can post like his Wikipedia page to hot links@armstrong getty.com Just so you can read more about him. I'd love to read some of his books. I'm not sure how realistic is it is I'll get around to them and stick with them. But anyway, he wrote quote I'm a libertarian at the federal level, a Republican at the state level, a Democrat at the local level and a socialist at the family level. That's pretty good. Yeah, you know, you could quibble with that a little bit, but his point being it reinforces the very idea of our country. Federal government ought to do as little as possible. They're not there to do much. State. Okay, little more. But stay out of our affairs. All right? In your town. Okay, let's talk about solving some of the problems that make our town less pleasant. Then in the family. Obviously you're sharing based on love and blah blah, blah. But the problem is when it gets turned on its head, you have the federal gun pointed at your head to try to enforce some misplaced notion of socialism. I say it at the dinner table every night. People will receive according to their needs based on according to their means or whatever that saying is. To each according to their needs from each according to their abilities or whatever it is. Whatever. Yes. Now, did you wash your hands? Go wash your hands. Mailbag. Let us know. No phones at the table. That's right. Got this note from our old friend and colleague Paul Jack. Some encouragement for Jack on the topic of disappearing fingernail clippers. Yesterday our daughters denied losing many, many fingernail Clippers through the years. When our oldest daughter was emptying a room and packing her stuff up for college, she sheepishly came into our room, opened her hand and handed us six fingernail clippers. Very satisfying. That's fantastic. Always great to hear from you Paul. Fine fella. Brian in Chico, California. Dear Jack and Joe Today got into something that's been bothering me a bit confusing. Mean and median. Ah, this top again. You straightened it out a bit today, but maybe not entirely. Two thirds of all people could be better looking than average. Unlikely, but possible. Two thirds cannot be above the median of looks. Sure. Consider for the example you yourselves have used. It's a, it's a classic. My friend and I are sitting in a bar. Jeff Bezos in a bizarrely small T shirt walks into the bar. Well done, Brian. Suddenly the average net worth of the bar is approximately $15 billion. Yet nine out of ten of us are below average. Yeah, that's good. That's a good one right there. Yeah. Love your show but sometimes not your math. Well, you can't have everything, Brian. Thanks. I don't feel like we were. Neither do I. We were fine on that. I think we were indeed. I think maybe Brian has waxy ears, needs to clean them out. Let's see. How about this from oh Joe in Buffalo, New York. Absolutely love this Joe. Thanks for reaching out. We are talking about non tariff trade barriers. Specifically a couple of nights ago Brett Baer was talking to our head trade representative guy and he was holding up a book of non tariff trade barriers for each country. And it's absolutely dizzying because every country has their own and you have to figure them out and get around them. And it's all meant to limit your exports to them in a way that Donald J. Would say is unfair trade. And I think he's quite correct. But anyway, so Joe from Buffalo wanted to illustrate this. He says, guys, I shipped a bunch of material to Europe for a trade show. The piece parts included screws, bolts, washers, other metal parts. You know you're putting together your trade show display. I had European import people from our company reach out to me and ask me for information to comply with the so called carbon border adjustment mechanism, the CBAM. This was implemented by EU regulations in 2023 and he gives the specific regulation. I had no idea what half of this information was and I was certainly not going to call a US distributor and ask them to provide this information for screws and washers. In the end our company will have to pay a fee for some sort of non Compliance. Thought you'd find this interesting and indeed I do. So he sent the actual form to us for his nuts and bolts. Quantity of goods, easy enough. Country of origin, easy enough. Installation data installation where the goods were produced including UN low code company name, address, geographical coordinates of the main emission source of the installation for his screws and washers. Directed emissions yes. Specific direct embedded emissions need to be reported. Production routes. The production routes need to be reported. This could be iron or steel products, blast furnace, roofs, blah blah blah. Emissions qualifying parameters, indirect admissions, data quality and carbon price do makes me tired thinking about it. And of course a big giant corporation can hire somebody to get all that paperwork going. If you're a mom and pop shop, then it's just, it's. Well. Right, right. As Joe and Buffalo points out, if you are a giant company and you're going to be doing the sort of volume that would pay for these compliant costs. Compliance costs. And yeah you would do it, but as a small, medium, average, even fairly large company, think screw it, I'm not exporting to the eu. This is impossible. That's what Trump is talking about. So we we'll get into more news that Ukraine minerals. Right Deal. There's some stuff in there that's pretty interesting. Among other things.
