ce detention and removal.

Now, I got to say that that makes sense to me because whatever it was that the Biden administration was up to with flying in half a million people, they never really explained that to us, did they? Did the Biden administration ever say, oh, these are the special people who need asylum? Not really. It just seemed like they were using every trick they could to bring in as many immigrants as they can. And I like the fact that Trump is going to say, how about we make this not our problem? How about we make this the problem of the migrants who came in? I like that. It should be their problem, not ours. So yeah, I'm in favor of that.

Well, here's what I call the least surprising story of the day. Here's the one that every one of you could have predicted. You ready? According to Zero Hedge, Vladimir Zelensky, when he got the first draft of the deal for minerals, remember that Scott Bessent said there would be this, I don't know, 100-page document that would explain the deal they had already agreed to that would be some kind of mineral deal with Ukraine and the United States. And Zelensky says that Kyiv received a draft of the new mineral deal and says it's entirely different. It's an entirely different document than previous framework. He says Ukraine can't accept any deal that threatens its EU integration.

So don't you think you could have predicted that Zelensky was going to reject the deal? Now, everything that we heard from Scott Bessent and even the indications that Trump was making is that, oh yeah, we're talking to Ukraine, we're working on a deal. Apparently we just slapped together a deal and tried to shove it down their craws. But Zelensky is like, nope, haven't even seen this kind of a deal. So that is the least surprising thing of the day. You absolutely could have predicted that that deal wasn't going to happen. And I'm going to predict it probably won't ever happen. I've got to say there will be no, well, as long as Zelensky is in charge. Zelensky very much doesn't want a solution that isn't military, and this would have given some argument that well, you don't need boots on the ground because you'll have this economic interest. But there's no way that Zelensky wants any of this to work. I don't know what he wants, but he doesn't want to give away land for peace. So there's nothing that can be done.

Putin has decided to call for the removal of Zelensky, which is weird because I think he's always wanted the removal of Zelensky. And he says that he can finish off the Ukrainian troops, according to The Defense Post. And Putin says he wants a transitional administration to be put in place in Ukraine and vowed that his army would finish off Ukrainian troops, blah blah blah.

Now that's fair because Zelensky has said that he thinks Putin will die soon and then the war will end. But I saw somebody on social media on X saying that if I remember the numbers, Putin's father lived to 88 and his grandfather lived to 86 or something. So I think Putin is 72. So is Zelensky really going to wait 15 years or something? That's his plan, to just keep fighting for 15 years until Putin dies? Or does he have some inside information that Putin's sick and he's going to die soon? I don't know. I wouldn't bet on him dying soon.

Well, the United Auto Workers president, who had previously had bad things to say about Trump, you know, all the usual bad things, according to the Wall Street Journal, now he loves what Trump is doing with the tariffs. The 25 percent tariffs on automobiles from other countries, because that would be awesome for US automakers. So suddenly Trump has switched the United Auto Workers. That's pretty good. You flipped them, at least the president, which is probably all you need to do.

So those tariffs, how do you feel about tariffs today compared to how you felt just a few months ago? Does it feel to you like Trump has, first of all, educated us about what you can do with tariffs, but also that it looks like it's working? I think it's way too early to say it is working, but it looks like it is because we've got big companies already deciding to move their operations to the United States. That's what we wanted. We've seen some countries get flexible faster than you'd expect. That's what we
