lers out of business. You know, we should at least make it a bad idea to be in business and to be a mass murderer in every way that we can.

Yeah, so it could be dogs, it could be some technology. But we have ways to detect fentanyl apparently. And then you saw that the government announced that they were looking to renegotiate some big international treaty about postage because it turns out that China has unusually low postage and that it was intentional so that the developing countries could develop. And now Trump quite reasonably is saying, well those countries are now developed enough. Let's even the playing field. It's now time to do that. But apparently it's hard to do that because it's a big international treaty and it's just not easy. You can't just unilaterally say, oh we're increasing our postage.

So I make this suggestion. Here's my suggestion. That instead of changing the postage we just slap a tariff on them. I don't know if this is practical by the way. I'll just put this idea out there. And instead of saying we're increasing the postage, which we should also do but that will take a while, we should just slap a fee on top of everything and say you're going to need a special stamp from China. You know, we're not even going to look at your packaging unless you've got the special fentanyl stamp.

Oh here would be a good idea. Is it true? I don't know if this is true but packages from China, they're not necessarily going to have a stamp on them, right? They're just going to be — yeah you don't necessarily have a stamp on packages anymore, right? But it would be great to have a fentanyl stamp that is only applicable to China and say you can't — this is not a practical idea. This is sort of a wishful thinking idea. So I understand that this is not practical. But the ideal thing would be to create a stamp that we will not accept any packages from China unless this stamp is on it. But it's not a postage stamp. It's an extra stamp. It's a fentanyl China stamp that says you've got to pay extra to cover the cost of us checking all the packages from China.

I believe the American Revolution was fought over something like that stamp tax, something along those lines.

All right, here's a speculative idea for you. You've learned a lot about influence in the last few years. You've learned a lot about persuasion. You've learned some of it from me. You've learned some of it from reading my book "Win Bigly." And you've also learned that the big media companies through how they surface stories and ads and opinions, you know, how they prioritize, how their algorithm works, can influence events.

And I wanted to put this out as a mental experiment. As far as I know what I'm going to explain next might be illegal, right? So I'm not recommending it. This is just a thought experiment. So not a suggestion, just a thought experiment. Imagine this. Imagine if the tech companies decided to try to influence the vote, the midterm vote, and didn't want to b
