Bill, I always like to talk to you also because you are well connected. You talk to a lot of decision makers on Wall Street and beyond, and I'm really curious what they're telling you right now. What you're hearing from them, um, in terms of sentiment at a time when sentiment really seems to have shifted 180 from where it was after the election.
Well, Julie, you know, as your previous guest has said, I mean, uh, investors, CEOs, just would like to know what's going to happen here. Uh, you know, you know, this the the chaos man, uh, in the White House, who like thrives on chaos on a daily basis, that's doing nothing for CEOs and investor confidence. You cannot plan, you know, the irony is, you know, he thinks these tariffs are going to somehow return manufacturing to to the industrial sector in the United States. That's not going to happen if CEOs cannot nail down sort of what's going to be happening next. You know, this uncertainty is driving CEOs nuts. And, uh, you know, people have said to me, look, if you're going to have, you know, two trillion worth of tariffs, you know, just let us know if it's going to be a million, a trillion and a half, let us know. Let us know what it is instead of like one day it's on, one day it's off. The market goes up, the market goes down based on whether or not the chaos agent has decided he wants to have tariffs or not. And CEOs cannot run their business like that, and they're completely fed up by this. And, you know, and then to say nothing of what, you know, the attacks that he's making on Wall Street law firms as retribution, that's got people nuts too, Julie.
Hmm.
