BEN SHAPIRO (DAILY WIRE CO-FOUNDER): I don't think that we're out of the woods and I do think that the biggest threat with regard to this sort of stuff is less the tariffs than the feeling of uncertainty for investors as to what comes next. And that's where the pharmaceutical EO starts to come in or the negotiations over the tax bill. What actually makes it in? What doesn't make it in?
When it comes to, you know, the stuff that makes investors sanguine and one of the reasons why investors are sanguine about Saudi Arabia is because Saudi Arabia is a kingdom, and that kingdom is very wealthy. And that very wealthy kingdom doesn't have to worry about the next election. They don't have to worry about the next policy that they just have to throw out there for public consumption.
Now, President Trump, because of the rapid shifts in policy, the feeling, if the feeling comes away is we're now back on a solid path, this was all a tactic, and and we're hunky dory, great. You're going to see the markets go up. You're going to see more investment and all the rest. If the feeling -- basically, more Scott Bessent and fire Peter Navarro into the ocean via catapult would be my advice to the the Trump administration.
