phe to me, doesn't it to you? A 15 percent decline in exports to the U.S. To me that sounds like a catastrophe. Like it's not an end of the economy catastrophe but what if it's 25 or 30 percent? You know if it's 30 percent it's probably game over and we're heading in that direction. Now you know that's always hyperbole too. Have I ever used any hyperbole before? Is this the first time? I think maybe I've possibly done that before. But no, it doesn't mean the whole thing is going to collapse but it would be a serious adjustment they'd have to make if they lost — if U.S. exports declined 30 percent. Fifteen is pretty big.

All right. Who would like to hear about my interview last night with Chris Cuomo on NewsNation? Only available initially on your cable if they carried it but now it's available on YouTube. So if you go to my pinned tweet on YouTube today you'll get a link to the full interview. And I wanted to talk about it but also give you a little bit of a sort of a lesson. Would anybody like a media, communication, persuasion lesson? Because it's coming up.

All right, but first let's go to the whiteboard here. Here's my overview of what life is like for me in the center of a scandal. There appear to be two very different worlds. There's a real world like the one when I walk outside and everybody I see is kind and happy and they have genuine good feelings for other people. I don't know what your experience is in life but I don't really run into any ugly people in terms of attitude, not looks. But almost everybody I encounter in real life is happy to talk to you if you're happy to talk to them. They can easily like you, very easily. You just have to be a nice person.

The only problem with the real world is you've got a few Karens, am I right? I'm using that sort of generically for you know you always have some bad characters and criminals and whatnot. But basically the 99 percent experience of life, if you don't count that co-worker who's a psychopath — everybody has a co-worker who's a psychopath, right? — but you know, not counting that, most of your interactions are just with cool people having a good time. And it works across race, age, gender, religion, sexual orientation. Yeah, you name it. That's the real world.

But we've been hypnotized into thinking the screen world. I call it the screen world. The thing that's only happening on my screens. So I'm in the middle of one of the biggest scandals, dramas, cancellation, whatever you call it, in the entire history of America. It's one of the big ones. I don't know what would be the biggest but I think you'd agree my cancellation is one of the biggest. I have no real world feeling about it. Like the penalty went from the screen world over to the real world and I got canceled. So it affects my economics. My income's down 80 percent. If your income now goes down 80 percent you definitely feel it. Yeah, no matter who you are you definitely feel it.

But the screen world isn't any real people.
