Trump's First 100 Days, Tariffs Impact Trade, AI Agents, Amazon Backs Down

I gotta wrap, guys. I got to catch a flight to Miami. Let me do a closing here. If you want to keep going, you're welcome. Two. Three. Two. The plane. Just wait. Just text the pilot and just tell them you're all right. Listen. I'm not burning all the allin credits, so to speak, and all of our tokens. I'm kidding. I'm kidding. I'm kidding. I'm not flying private to everything and then putting it on the all-in budget. The rest of us are flying Southwest for your dictator Jim Pol. It's a strange concept. Yeah. David S. I What does that mean, Dave? When's the last time you flew a commercial? Clinton, I haven't missed a flight in about 15 years. [Music] Let your winners ride. [Music] We open sourced it to the fans and they've just gone crazy with it. All right, everybody. Welcome back to the number one podcast in the world. We're back. We're back and what an amazing panel we have today with us. Ryan Peterson, friend of the pod, is back on the show. He's the CEO of Flexport. How are you doing, Ryan? Did you get any skiing in this year? I know you like to ski in the deep powder like I tried, man, but it was a busy year for work and I got two little kids. I I did a few days. Okay. So, you're Oh, yes. We all forgot you gave control of your company to somebody. It got a little uh shaky, got a little contentious, and then you took the reigns back. How's it been being back in the pilot seat? Oh, that was a year and a half ago. So, it's a distant memory for in in flexport time. That's like a decade. We've uh yeah, really had an amazing run. Although, these tariffs, I mean, I guess that's why you guys invited me on. These tariffs have kind of made a lot of created a lot of new uncertainty in the flex sports world. Okay, so we'll definitely get into that. and of course fan favorite back for his fourth appearance on the pod. I I I was so first of all I saw the comment I I saw the comments last time I was on. I'm I'm officially not a fan favorite but uh glad to be back on and I will be I will be representing free markets uh in uh in this uh uh in this version. What do the comments say about you? It was like uh you know like uh loves Biden uh you know to totally beta you know all the uh lover beat soy boy you're filling in for me though. Um I think so. Yes. I was trying to represent uh I was trying to represent libertarian values at the time. But uh but I love this that the leftists are embracing Milton Freeman. I think it's all worth it if that's what comes out of all of AOC AOC is going to be a complete free market uh person soon. Yeah, free market months are coming soon. Embracing free market values and the stock market, right? Yes. Exactly. Because any decline in the stock market is Trump's fault. So now they're they're embracing the stock market. Well, unfortunately unfortunately the one day that he said it's Biden's market, it was a it was a green day. So that uh that didn't help the case. I mean gosh uh well listen, it's another massive green day already. All that matters to me is that Uber is the anti-tariff stock. It just does great. It's not impacted by tariffs. So here we go. with Chimoth. It started already. We have TDS on both sides. We've got Trump derangement syndrome from Aaron. Wait, no, no, no, no. I want to be defender syndrome from Sachs. We've got both. Defender and derangement. Here we go. Syndrome. Trump bias syndrome on your part. Who? Me? Me? I call balls and strikes. What are you talking about? Let's get started. It's starting already, folks. It's going to be a great episode. Lots of excitement with us again. Jason has the uh the rain self-sabotage. Find every way to not get rich syndrome. I do. What are you talking about? You guys said you're buy me out of this thing and I can get the hell out of here. You know how much my shares are in all in worth? For the love of God, write a check. Get me the hell out of here. I just may. Oh god. I mean, I'm going to be a terror. If Uber breaks 88, that's my number. 88 is the number. You're all when that happens. Uh, and we're getting close. All right, let's get started here. We have so many topics to get through with us again. David Saxs. Hey David, you're doing uh more episodes now. The audience wants to know. I don't know if we're allowed to make any initial announcements, but people are asking me on the streets, in the airports, in the comment threads. Is Sachs back? Well, the ratings are back ever since I came back to the show. That's for sure. The ratings are back, show, but is measurable back? Is Sachs back? Well, I'm back as much as I can. Mhm. And you are a partial employee of the government. You can do 130 days a year or something. Is that still the status? Yeah, it's roughly half after work days. Got it. And so what do you do? You have a you have a punch clock there. When you get to the White House, you punch in, you punch out like Fred Flintstone or what? Are you keeping track of these days? How do you do it? I know why you don't know this because you have yet to be invited to the White House. But that's interesting. I got not how it works. Normal people just people just badge in and badge out like that. Badge it and badge. It's a natural place, Jason. I I mean, literally, it's interesting. There's a new private club. It's incredible that you have thoroughly prepared for this week, just like always. I am always prepared. Interestingly, I don't know if you gentlemen know this, Ryan and Aaron. There's a new private club in DC that uh Don Jr. is doing and Sax is a member. Chimat's a member. And I just checked my Gmail. I checked all three of my Gmail accounts, everything. No invite. You must have gotten lost again. Did you send a paper one? Was it like you sent a goal card or something? Sax, how do I get invited to this private club? What is this private club? Everybody wants to know. Well, we'll be happy to have you as a guest. Okay. Do I have to wear a MAGA hat and have the courtesy MAGA hats at the door? If you want to be a member, obviously there are dues and a membership fee, and Okay. I just didn't want to waste your time with an offer that I knew you wouldn't uh be willing to accept. It's only $500,000 is what I read. Is that true? That's true for for founding members who have additional benefits, but there's also a lower level that's the more reasonable membership level. So, I think people are getting a little bit carried away with that number. Got it. Okay. That's why I wanted to clarify. Yeah. Yeah. There's like 10 founding members who have that level and then there's a lower level for more average member. Chimatha, are you one of those 10? Yes. Do you pay more if you have TDS or how does that work? TDS premium. What do you talking about? Jal specifically or what are we talking about? the TDS search charge. Asking for a friend. It's a TDS search charge. You put the tariff search we just we want a place to hang out in DC. All of us have been to clubs like the Battery or I don't know if you go to LA like the I think places. There's Malibu Beach House. There's Bird Street Clubs. There are places in Palm Beach that are really cool. In any event, we wanted a place to hang out. And the the clubs that exist in Washington today have been around for decades. They're kind of old and stuffy. To the extent there are Republican clubs, they tend to be like more Bush era Republicans as opposed to Trump era Republicans. So, we wanted to create something new, hipper, and Trump aligned. Since I'm in the government, I can't be an owner, but I told him I'd be happy to be member number one. And so, I, you know, said, "Great, let's let's do it." And so, we're creating a place for us to hang out. That's basically it. We want a place to go where you don't have to worry that the next person over at the bar is a fake news reporter or even a lobbyist or something like that who we don't know and we don't trust. Got it. So, it's like any private club. You want to go somewhere that's highly curated. This private club uh movement is happening all over the country, not just Washington. But we're creating something that didn't exist before in DC, which again is younger, hip, Trump aligned, Republican. We're uh I I actually started a Kamala club in um in the Bay Area. So um so we're Yep. I don't think anyone would pay to join that though is the problem, right? I mean, it's an open bar, that's for sure. Where where do where do you guys meet up? In like Redwood City. We actually meet up at the uh at the at the trade ports. All right. was we're 100 days into Trump 2.0. It's just a random 100 day thing, but everybody's talking about everybody's hand ringing. What has it been like for this first 100 days? How does it compare to Biden? How does it compare to Trump 1.0? 143 executive orders, the most ever in the first 100 days. And they're moving obviously at a at a different pace to uh be generous. Major indices are down 7 to 10%. Obviously, this trade war and tariffs, the yield on the the yield on the 10-year, it's down about 40 basis points. There's a lot going on. Let's go around the horn. Ryan Aaron, you're our guest. What's your take on the first 100 days? Is it what you expected, good, bad, and otherwise, wins and fails, everything. I'll go first. I think it's a whirlwind. I mean, if you look at the uh the John Boyd, the fighter pilot, has this concept of the UDA loop, which is observe, orient, decide, and act. And the concept is that if you're in dog fighting, if you're able to maneuver through those UDA loops at a faster pace than your than your competition, they get disoriented and don't know what to do. And I I think that that's got to be how Democrats in Washington and maybe mainstream Republicans in Washington. Certainly journalists are all feeling this like there's that the Trump Trump administration takes action and before anybody can respond to that they have already done like four more things and you're like wait I forgot to actually follow up on the other thing that they did that I didn't like. Uh, and so it's yeah, it's pretty disorienting if you're if you're trying to they they can't find a line to fall back to and go, "Hey, we're going to push back against this policy because they're already moving on to the next one, the next one." Um, so that that's like my high level interpretation. Obviously, I come at it from a trade angle. I think everybody knew that Trump was going to be he he told us during the campaign that the the most beautiful word in the English language is tariff. Don't tell them it's an Arabic word, but the most beautiful word in the English language. And so we knew that was coming. I think that the the the suddenness of it all caught people by surprise. I mean, they told us April 1st, April 2nd would be Liberation Day. They didn't tell us that it would go live the next week, you know, and effect you've already ordered these goods. So, that's one aspect that people are kind of disoriented about. And we're gonna unpack. Yeah, we're going to unpack that. Aaron, your thoughts on the first 100 days? Obviously you are a Democrat and uh you were pretty vocally not in support of Trump. So what's your take on the first 100 days? Any any bright spots for you things you you know support? Actually Sax's world I'd say has has been a bright spot. So especially I mean I think we have a very clear message on AI and uh and that that that is that's been I think a huge net positive is um you know if you look at the the past you know few months uh out of all the the AI push from the administration it's unmistakably you know pro open source you know pro you know bring as much AI innovation you know to the US obviously that the tariffs you know add a little bit of a headwind to that. I have some very strong asks, you know, around high skilled immigration because I think that, you know, AI talent is going to be super critical to to actually win the AI war. So, so I'd say that that directionally has has had some positive momentum. You know, from my perspective, this is kind of playing out almost exactly how I thought it would 6 months ago. And then 3 months ago, I I think there was some signs that maybe maybe, you know, it wouldn't play out this way. um just based on some of the some of the you know kind of early groups that were coming to the White House the the the the sort of deep business you know kind of centricity of the White House you know I think it was day one or two that Stargate was announced you know at the White House we're going to go build massive infrastructure the case I'd like to make you know once we talk about tariffs is is I think there's an alternative universe where you just lean into acceleration as opposed to adding headwinds but but so that would be that would be the case of what what maybe could have been you know very different is we just keep double down on doubling down on what's working while fixing the parts that aren't working. But uh but that would be, you know, my my uh my judgment so far. Chimath, I mean, you've been talking about it here every week. You and I have uh been talking about it pretty consistently, so I don't think there'll be many surprises here, but take a second and maybe assess what you think if you had to pick a singular thing that's gone really well and a singular thing you think could be improved. What What do you got? Let me give you my overall grade. And then I'll tell you how I get to that. I think the first 100 days have been a B+. And here's how I get to that score. There have been two things where I think Trump has frankly hit a home run. The first is all of the direct investment and specifically the foreign direct investment into the United States. I think it's approaching if not it has already exceeded a trillion dollars from corporations and organizations and individuals from around the world who have committed to bringing money into the United States. And I think strategically that's a legacy that will live past him. So, I think that's been an A+. The second is we had a very unsafe border situation and he ran on shutting it down. I'm not talking about the execution of the deportations. I'm just saying getting the illegal crossings to zero and he's done that. So, that's been an A+. I think what's going to be more controversial are these next three things though. But in my interpretation, I think the tariffs have been an A and I think that the market reaction, the stock market is only down 4%. And the interest rate markets are, you know, 4 and a/4%. I think those have been an A. Now the reason I think tariffs have been an A is because it is uncovered in my opinion how beholden we are to a brittle supply chain and specifically to China who is a friend but who's also an enemy and I think that that's going to really severely complicate our flexibility and optionality in the future as they do what is in their best interests. Okay. So where have they then not done so well? I think the documents have been frankly a D. We were supposed to get the Epstein files. We haven't yet. We were supposed to get the Martin Luther King files. We haven't. We did get the redacted JFK files. I don't think there's been very good communication about why it's taking so long. So I think it's a very small narrow thing, but I think it had a lot of attention on the way in. I think the communications of the tariffs and the back and forth have been a C. I think the markets were not led in enough of a way where they could absorb the volatility. But if you take it all in its totality, I would give it a B+. I think it's been a very productive 100 days. And when you look back, I think in, you know, 3 years, four years, 5 years. Okay, we've made some important progress. Saxs, obviously you're part of the administration, so I'm not sure exactly how to ask you this, but you s you heard some nice compliments about AI from Aaron. I I happen to agree with those. I actually agree with uh a good portion of the crypto stuff, too. I think actually getting those uh tightened up, which are your two zones of excellence and your area that you're focused on. I think you've done a great job there. So, just bestie to bestie, great job there. What's your Thank you. What's your take overall? You know, it's kind of hard, I guess, to ask somebody in the administration to criticize the administration, but hearing everybody else's take, what's your response, maybe? Well, I would I would highlight three main areas that I think are big accomplishments for the Trump administration in the first 100 days. So, so number one has to be the border. Like Jamas said, I think you have to give the administration an A+ on this. They've completely stopped the border crisis. I think we all knew that Trump would take action on this because it's one of the main issues he campaigned on. I think if you had asked any of us, you know, 4 months ago, would this problem be completely solved? Meaning, border apprehensions completely stopped, border completely sealed within the first 100 days, I don't think we would have believed necessarily that it would get done so quickly, but it has. Uh, recall that for 4 years during the Biden years, we were told for the first 3 years that the problem didn't even exist. Whenever the videos were published of caravans coming or throngs of people running across the border, we were told that these were cherrypicked videos on Fox News. It wasn't real. Finally, in the last year of the Biden administration, they said, "Okay, we're finally going to do something about it." They took some limited actions and they said that doing more than that would require new legislation. Well, all of that was just gaslighting. It turns out Trump came in, he restored remain in Mexico and other policies, completely stopped it. He had this line at the state of the union which I think is exactly right which is we didn't need a new law we just needed a new president. So I think that's area number one. Area number two I would say would be the vibe shift in the culture around wokeism and DEI. You know how quickly we forget about this but wokeism has completely collapsed. Uh I don't know that anyone is endorsing in a fullthroated way. Moreover, beyond just sort of the cultural aspect of it, I think we've had significant policy changes on DEI. Trump has basically ended DEI at the government level. He also signed an executive order ending the use of disparit impact for affirmative action. This is the policy that said that even if you have a policy that's applied in a completely neutral and objective way, if it results in a disparate impact where different groups are represented in a different way in the outcomes, then somehow that must be racist. And that led to essentially engineering the results of various populations to basically fit quotas. And I think all of that now has fallen by the wayside. And I think that meritocracy and colorblindness are back. The only hold out really has been these universities where Trump is now taking action against Harvard and I think that ultimately we will win that battle. You see that even in relatively liberal companies the DI departments have been cancelled and they're moving back towards more of a meritocracy. So I would say that that's like big shift number two. And I think if any of us had tried to predict that 100 days ago, we would have thought yes, Trump will do something about it. But I don't think we would have predicted the total collapse of wokeism and DEI so quickly. And then I'd say the third area which is still in flight is the rep privatization of the economy. That's a term that Scott Besson used. I think that the Trump administration needs to reprivatize the economy. And I like that framing of it. And there's a bunch of different pieces under that. I'd say number one is Doge again ending this hogw spending. I do think that Trump has come into office inheriting a very weak Biden economy that was being propped up by massive amounts of government spending that was not only stimulating the public sector, but it was also gooseing the employment numbers as well. And we knew that that spending was unsustainable. We have to do something about it. So, I think for the first time in decades, we've actually started to make real cuts in government, real cuts in the federal workforce. And look, we'd like to do more, but that is a huge shift in the conversation. There's other pieces of it as well. I mean, President Trump has signed a significant number of executive orders on deregulation. There's also been unleashing energy. He ended Biden's EV mandate and a lot of these like green new scam projects, offshore wind, and he's been encouraging oil and gas exploration. So, I think there's that. And then I appreciate what Aaron said about tech innovation. We did repeal Biden's exec order on AI, which was, you know, 100 pages of unnecessary regulation on AI. We've ended the war on crypto, and I think we're trying to stop the regulatory capture that benefits large incumbents. So, you have all these things, and there's been other things that that have been done on the economy as well, but I I do think that this sets us up for a Trump boom in the future. It's just that a lot of these changes take time to to play out. Okay, great. Well done. And well, I think I think I think we knew Sax would be very pro. Chamas uh Chamas seems really pro other than he wants like the alien conspiracy files released which we'll get soon. What is the what is the view from Jay Cal when the where you're the the the leftleaning guy in the in the room? Uh you know I'm kind of independent but yeah social liberal. You know I I look at what all Americans believe and and try to build some consensus here. It's one of the things I've been trying to do on the pod is look for where we agree. Americans universally want the border secured. They don't want illegal immigration and they don't want fentinel. So this is the biggest win I think for Trump which I think everybody on the panel pointed out and Sachs you were dead right like when we were seeing those videos some of them were 5 years old some of them were recent. Biden really covered up what was going on in the border and it took years to figure out what was exactly going on there. So that's the biggest win possible. I I give overall just to be brief a B for this first 100 days and I give you know Biden like a C minus. The second thing that everybody agrees on is they want to downsize the government. They don't want waste and fraud. So I think Doge is the other huge win. The things I think that could be improved really just three simple things. The economic uncertainty is really terrible for running a business. I'm seeing a lot of folks in my circle on my podcasts this week in Startups and here telling me, "Oh, I don't know how to plan for the future." And we're going to get into that with this tariff stuff and the trade war. And so, I think economic uncertainty, we have to sort of slow down and maybe make it easier for people to understand what the administration is trying to do. I think rule of law really matters to people. People didn't like Biden's pardons. They didn't like covering up his mental acuity. And I don't think people like the deportations without due process. We talked about that on a previous episode. Overwhelmingly, people want Trump and the administration to obey what the Supreme Court says. They really want rule of law, the third term talk. Like eight out of 10 Americans don't like that kind of talk. Um, and then conflicts of interest. Obviously, people hated the Hunter Biden stuff. They hate the memecoin stuff. And so that's where it could improve. crisper communications, more thoughtful execution, maybe less trolling. I don't like the White House Twitter account trolling. And then focus on what got Trump here. You know, you all said the same thing. What got Trump in here was the economy. And one thing that wasn't mentioned by everybody is the peace dividend. And Trump is making massive progress in Ukraine, apparently. I don't know if it's on the docket today or not, but stopping the wars and making the economy boom, those are the two most important things that he could do. Build on that. I I totally missed that. You're absolutely right. That's another one where I would give Trump an A+. Nat and I had dinner with POTUS two weeks ago. And wait, you had dinner with Trump? This is breaking news. Well, okay, whatever. Yes. Well, I think it's I think it's remarkable how much of a Putin apologist Jake House's become. I mean, you want to end the war in Ukraine now? Well, you're going to you're going to give it You're going to give it to Putin? You're not going to stop Putin. I'm totally in favor of what Trump's doing in in negotiating a deal to get more money. Oh, you want to talk to Putin now? I've always wanted to talk to Putin. I just don't trust him. But you you can trust him. Let me tell you what Trump said. So, there we go. There was a handful of us at dinner and then he got up to say a few words at the end and he reminded me why I was so inclined to vote for him, which is he talked about his uncle and he talked about how his uncle taught him about the severity of nuclear war and how people don't understand how intense and how destructive it is and the power of these weapons and he left that speech at the end saying and this is why I'm so fundamentally against this thing and it reminded me to your point Jason it is so easy to forget that there's only one existential risk save like aliens coming from the heavens, right? There's only one existential risk where all these issues become fringe issues. You know, you mentioned rule of law, border security, foreign direct investment, tariffs, it all goes out the window in a nuclear war. And I was like, I am so glad this guy's in charge because this one issue, he never waivers. Yeah. And I think there's all kinds of complicated moments that could make this an issue. And this was where my biggest issue with Biden was was I did not know who was in control. And I think that Trump in the first 100 days, to your point, I think has completely reinforced that there are no conditions under which he'll go to war. He has time and time again showed find the off-ramp. And I think that that's really healthy for Americans to see. Yeah. And let me build on that point with respect to to Ukraine is we were on a glide path before the Trump presidency that Biden had put us on a certain path. Kla Harris gave every indication she would have continued it. What was that path? It was a path of continued escalation and doubling down in Ukraine. Recall that it was Biden himself at the beginning of the war who said that if we give Ukraine Abrams tanks and F-16s or attackums or high Mars or if we allow them to hit targets inside of Russia, it would lead to World War II. He actually used the word Armageddon. So at the beginning of that administration, they were very concerned about how an escalatory path could lead us into direct conflict with Russia and World War II. And yet, despite that, at every fork in the road where they had a choice, they ended up doubling down. They gave the Abrams tanks. They gave the F-16s. They gave the High Mars. They gave the attacks. And finally, when Biden was a lame duck in his last couple months in office, they did the most reckless and irresponsible thing, which is allow American weapons to be used to strike targets on Russian soil. Not just fighting in Ukraine, but on Russian soil. Moreover, we now know from a New York Times article that just came out in the last few weeks that it was American generals and American intelligence who are planning this war. So, when you're talking about striking Russian targets on Russian soil, it's not just the Ukrainians using our weapons. They're using our targeting, they're using our guidance, they're using our satellites. I mean, we are deeply integrated in the kill chain. This is the United States being a co-elligerent in the war, hitting Russian soil. That is incredibly reckless and dangerous. I have no doubt that if the Democrats were still in office, we would be in an escalatory spiral right now with the destination being World War II. And I do think that Trump has pulled us back from the brink there. There's obviously still more work to do. But I really appreciate the efforts that Steve Wickoff has undertaken where for the first time in 3 years, we've at least had direct diplomacy with the Russians. We weren't even talking before. We weren't even talking before. I mean, talking is a great thing and and and apparently we're going to keep supplying with them with weapons as long as they pay for them. So, it's going to be very interesting to see how this all hashes out over the next 100 days or so. Let's keep moving. I don't think we know that yet. Let's let's wait and see on that. Okay. Yeah. I mean, I think that's Yeah. Uh what was reported, but you're right. We should wait and see. Okay. Downstream tariff impacts. We got to talk about this, and this is why we have you here, Ryan, since you're in the thick of it. you tweeted a thread last week about the lag time uh of shipments from China and when you were on I guess during COVID you really educated us to how the supply chain how the supply chain works and according to the thread that you shared somewhere around early June we're going to expect warehouses trucking the entire supply chain maybe to start to seize up or layoffs I don't know how you would frame it Ryan but are we asked the point of no return with regard to the supply chain. Is there an off-ramp for this tariff conflict war negotiation with China in your mind? What are you seeing on the streets and in the purchase orders and the invoices at Flexport? Definitely not past the point of no return. I think we're still right in the middle of the don't judge the cook while he's cooking is one, you know, like let's see what the we'll see what it tastes like at the end is I think a starting point here and we're still they're still in active negotiations. So I don't think today's it's not static. Now the world does want a lot more certainty and that's a big cause of what's happened here and what has happened is a 60% decline in bookings of ocean freight from China to the US. I mean so that's really really pretty dramatic like probably exceeding what was expected. I don't think, you know, when they issued when they rolled out the initial reciprocal tariff plans on on April 2nd, it was meant to be a 54% tariff on China. Then, you know, there's multiple cycles of escalation. We ended up at what's now 154% tariff. So, this is this is a lot higher than anybody planned for. And so therefore, I don't think anyone's planning for a 60% decline in ocean freight. Ryan, let me ask you a question about that. Are people actually paying that 154%? There's been this discussion online and it's it's sort of unclear from the administration and from retailers stuff that's landing that people ordered before April 2nd. Are they actually paying the 154% on top of what's landing? It's it's live now. Um it is it was based on departure date. So goods that departed China after midnight Eastern time on April 9th are subject to the tariffs upon arrival. And so now enough time has passed that pretty much all the ships that are arriving now left China after April 9th when that started. Um so yes. So what happens? People are paying it or are people saying I won't take delivery because it's Jason you have you have to pay it Ryan correct me if I'm wrong but you have to pay it at the dock in order to get the goods released. More or less more or less that's true. They they allow you have a bond in place so you can pull the goods out before you pay but it the money's owed at that time and then you get you get like a two week time frame to actually make the payment. But there are strategies here. a lot of people are doing that you can use what's called a bonded warehouse and move cargo into this warehouse uh and then you only owe the duties when the cargo leaves that's what I was asking like is there a hack here to it's not that that lets you defer things and it's very very common right now people are searching everywhere for bonded warehouse capacity because in a bonded warehouse not only you defer payment to when the cargo leaves the warehouse but you only owe the duty amount based on at that date so if the duties come back down which a lot of people are betting they will on the China specific speific duties, you'll actually lower your tariff burden. And then there's another hack for this, which is effect use a Mexican or Canadian bonded warehouse. So you move the goods into Mexico and then you actually only technically import them into the US at a future date when tariffs are lower. So I understand a lot of a lot of companies are doing that right now, too. Um we're helping some people with that type of strategy, but yeah. Is that Sorry, Ryan. Do you think that the government will they view that okay that kind of hack and or like you know like if you look at the GDP numbers one of the craziest things was the inventory pull forward that people did to your point like trying to get as much stuff into the United States before April 9th as an example. Yeah. I mean it's not a hack. It's a bonded warehouses are been around for decades and they're they're very commonly used. I don't know that it'll be that material in the scheme of things that it would, you know, cause a change in the law around bonded warehouse. So, you don't think, for example, the Department of Commerce will have an issue with the strategy of sending inventory into Mexico that essentially you're essentially like, isn't it, it's a work? Like, instead of paying the China tariff, now you pay a Mexico tariff, which should be less. Is that the idea? Well, you can move it into a bonded warehouse in Mexico even and not pay Mexican tariffs either. and you just wait until it imports. But I mean, what's the Department of Commerce or the customs to do? It's sort of you just delayed importing the goods. You've imported them in the future and you know, it doesn't I I wouldn't even call it a hack. It's just sort of like people people are going to get creative here. You know what I mean? Like that's the job. Actually, the government should set the rules and the rest of us got to figure out, all right, how are we going to compete and make money in this environment that they've created? Ryan, in that tweet you redid, which was a pretty dramatic tweet painting a very like I don't know, you know, like a pretty dire situation. Where are we at in terms of how uh dire this will get or resolvable? paint us the the the best case scenario and what you expect could happen in that case or if this gets extended are we going to see as you know people are hand ringing empty store shelves Christmas gets ruined and all these layoffs start happening in the supply chain take us through the two scenarios that people are debating yeah I mean the the the bleak scenario which is I don't really think it's going to happen I think that the administration doesn't want this to be their legacy that they like created a policy that just like kind of tanked small business and supply chain. So, I don't I don't actually think this is going to happen, but the bleak scenario is tariffs stay at this level for 145% on China. The 10% goes way back up to what it was originally announced in reciprocal tariffs. So, there's no like safe haven for tariffs and trade just falls off a cliff and a lot of companies go bankrupt in our in our especially small companies are the ones that are importing from China. Reality is like tariffs have been high on China for a long time. Labor costs in China are not are not there for cheap labor. You're there for quality manufacturing at this point. like there's much cheaper labor in Southeast Asia, other parts of the world than there is in China. So you're in China because of the manufacturing capabilities, the ecosystem, not just for cheap labor. Uh and if you could have moved, you would have already with the 25% tariffs from the Trump's first terms were pretty were high enough incentive. And so that's the bleak scenario is that small business starts getting wiped out. The ones that are buying from China and it's a lot of brands like it's not just Amazon seller selling stuff that you don't need. It's like all the brands that you know are like you know fashion brands, apparel brands. I had cuts clothing on this weekend startups last week and he said there's going to be like if this doesn't get revol resolved in like let's say two to four weeks in his group chats people are going to start layoffs and they they can't physically restart the supply chain in Vietnam or wherever to make t-shirts. So Aaron what's your thought on this as well just bringing you in. Sure. Well, well, first of all, I mean, Ryan has supplied me with a high degree of doom scrolling and uh it's just like a horror show reading his tweets. First of all, I I like I would feel better if the messages out of the administration were either more kind of consistent or that there was a logical connection between do we either want to raise the kind of you know tariff revenue stream or do we want free trade like like those things are are working against each other because like depending on who you talk to they they say this is a a mechanism to bring down income tax which obviously then by definition means that they expect the tariffs to sort of persist. um which is totally different from let's go negotiate deals that just allow for the you know free trade to actually increase and so are we worried about the reciprocity or we worried about kind of revenue stream so that's a whole whole issue you also have this issue which is the messaging from the government and this is the meta point I'll make in a second is about is about how we could have actually accelerated into the transformation of the economy but you know you have folks like Lutnik etc you know going on on TV talking about the the end state of our economy which are are actually probably you fine messages, but but we haven't seen what that vision looks like, you know? So, everybody is kind of confused like does this mean that we literally go into manufacturing plants and we're like the ones literally doing the screws on an iPhone or is it a bunch of jobs which are next generation, you know, jobs which is like we're managing robots and and like shipping and logistics grows as a result of this and all of the surrounding kind of supply chains, you know, start to grow. So like like you know to like there's a there's an underlying I mean you know mo most people on this call have managed teams like you do change management you lead people to the end state that that you want them to sort of see the potential in and I think some something that kind of gets missed is and the part that kind of confuses me is like I don't know if if to you know exactly to Ryan's point like people are in China because of the ecosystem of manufacturing yet the messages you get out of the administration are like oh you know we're going to have fewer toys at Christmas time. It's like, no, that's not the big picture. Like, the big picture is is like, like, you know, this is supplying the parts that go into building a manufacturing plant and building a car that that allows us to actually, you know, be even remotely competitive in car manufacturing. So, where should in your mind this all lead? Because you have some thoughts on American exceptionalism and maybe skating to where the puck is going. So for if you were to become an adviser Yeah. on this as a technology expert and and somebody who spent their whole career in it, what would you advise them to do? I'd get rid of Navaro immediately and and you would basically say, you know, Mia Kulpa, like oops. And like obviously you need to like land that with some really cool trade deals that make everybody kind of feel happy. And you basically say, you know what, like let's go back to the first two days of Trump, which is let's announce massive deals. We're bringing manufacturing here with Stargate. We're doing TSMC. We're building Nvidia chips. We're going to do a deal which is you get like 5% tax uh rate if you build in America. And so you just stimulate a a manufacturing boom in in the country. You know, we incentivize, you know, automation across the manufacturing. We use that as a competitive weapon to go and compete with with the the sort of lowerc cost labor that that that happens internationally. You know, we we find every incentive and tool we can. we deregulate, you allow people to build these plants and so you don't have to go through the, you know, three-year EPA process like like you you just accelerate from from this position and you see you see it all as upside and so then business leaders, you know, if you go talk to the Fortune 500 company that actually has to build, you know, anything right now, you give them a path to say, listen, we're going to help you transition away from your current supply chain and we're going to make it even more competitive and more compelling in America to do that. You know, there's a reason that Elon builds in America like like he has he's actually made it be more effective to to be able to to, you know, bring automation to manufacturing, to be able to to build locally, but he wasn't forced to do that. And so so I would just I would argue like you you use as many carrots as possible in some surgical areas. And Chimath, I've heard your points about the like, you know, chips, pharma, you know, AI, like in those surgical areas, we get tough where where necessary. Um, and and if we have to do, you know, a couple sort of very surgical tariffs, you know, to kind of make make people move the the direction that we want, that's totally fine. But I I mean like like it's like the even arguing the premise is hard because because we act like we're like like it's like countries that are screwing us, but actually businesses are are independently making decisions about where they want their supply chain to exist. They they have in a free market they've made that decision. They don't need the government to tell them where where are they supposed to or where are they allowed to to have their supply chain operate. that that ends up with just lots of economic distortions that everybody on the the right would have called, you know, the left socialists for trying to kind of implement central planning around supply chains. So that's my piece. Well, no. What do you think, Chimath, here of this sort of reframing/offramp and sort of maybe the positive spin on it, hey, if you want to make t-shirts, you know, you want to make commodity items, have at it. Free trade, you know, reciprocal tariffs, great checkbox there. But here is a series of incentives and a path forward to do the advanced stuff to do robotics etc. Let me answer this in a different way. Okay, a lot of those things he's actually doing. I think this is where we are is we're beyond TDS. There's something that comes after it. And I think that the mainstream media has just lost their mind to a degree that they hadn't even lost their mind in Trump one. I'll give you a couple of examples. Um well, one example, by the way, just a shout out to our friend, completely brazen, ridiculous, shitty reporting by the Wall Street Journal last night. When they were told that this, you know, this whole Tesla thing was a total farce, they continued to publish it. Okay, fine. They're they were referring to Elon. The board Yeah. starting a search to replace Elon and then the board said, "Well, wait. We told you we weren't doing that." And they didn't even mention they communicated that directly to the Wall Street Journal. The Wall Street Journal said, "I don't care. I have an axe to grind." Correct. Yeah. I think that Trump has a strength, which is he shapes these potholes for the mainstream media to fall into. The downside of that though is that that the mainstream media then doesn't do the other part of the job which is to tell the things that are important. So for example, we spent a lot of time breathlessly talking about the MS-13 knuckles of the guy, right? Or then we spent a bunch of time talking about how MSNBC blurred out the names of the placards on the lawn. Okay, but here's the other part where then they get so tilted. Here's what they don't report. They didn't report that, for example, when Trump took a shot at Harvard, he also reinforced and strengthened historically black colleges and universities. Totally did not get written. I'll give you another example. This past week, Bessant said that the tax bill will allow you to fully deduct all the PPE and all of the incidental costs of building a factory. I heard that, I immediately went to my wife. She runs a pharma business. This is exactly what she's trying to figure out. And we now are like, how do you build a business case if this actually gets effectuated? The point is that thing would create an absolute economic bonanza if it were to get passed. Other than people hearing it on this pod or randomly maybe finding it on a direct clip that Bessant puts out on X, there has been zero coverage by the mainstream media. Yeah. But but like like the the uh first of all that Yeah. Okay. MSM and whatever we want to call it aside like the that is that is still on the administration for driving a a change management process that that causes people to build on momentum and not causes boards to basically say oh are we going to pivot our entire supply chain this week because because Trump you know didn't get a call back from from sheet like like that that is like this is really not a a a TDS MSM issue this if you talk to Fortune 500 CEOs did you know about the PPE thing No, but that's not but like I'm I don't need to like the thing that I know but there are many other CEOs that do they they're controlling trillions of dollars of capital allocation. It's an important thing. If we had if we had Mary Bar on this call and and we said Mary has has you know Trump increased your ability to execute and operate and accelerate the the transition to the US or has he had headwinds that make it tougher to navigate right now? Which which way do you think she'd go? I think that she would give you a calculated answer that neither is pro or con. I think I think that answer changes by the day. I think that if you talked to her last week, she would say this has been a major headwinds and then yesterday to Chimal's point, they did this thing where you can depreciate or fully expense in year one capital improvements or building out factories. But also earlier this week, they made it so that auto auto parts are not subject to the tariffs. They created a huge exemption that wasn't there everything like they should have. By the way, This all speaks if this was a bit planned, it should have been there in the beginning because these auto auto companies were saying, "Hey, this is going to bankrupt us if we have to pay taxes on where I would take circling back to communication and making a crisper and clear, Erin, where you are right expectation is it's my job to stay informed." Okay. As a CEO of my company, I try to stay informed and you're right. It is hard because sometimes I find myself hunting and pecking to find the things that matter. But I do put a bunch of that responsibility into the lap of the people that are supposed to actually report the facts. They can choose. They didn't have to run that article about Elon, which turned out to be total  and horseshit on the front page of the Wall Street Journal. They could have talked about what Ryan just mentioned as the first article and said, "Here completely changes your ro and roe calculations for 90% of the S&P 500." That was not the article they chose to write and to publish. I but I also think it comes back to my original point around the UDOT loops that they're the Trump is the administration is running these very tight hey let's take an action let's see what happens let's see the reaction and then take another action and Washington's used to doing all these committees that plan everything for 5 years or something or whatever 18 months and then roll it out slowly and they're going hey let's roll it out oh crap we're about to cause this huge problem in the auto manufacturers and they're all telling us they're going to go bankrupt okay 3 days later they push an update and it's kind of it feels chaotic But yeah, to summarize, Ryan and Aaron, your position so we can keep going through the docket. Hey, a little less shock and awe, maybe a little more predictability, a little crisper communication, and Chimath, I think your position is, hey, maybe the mainstream media can play a better role here in focusing us on what matters. That wouldn't be my takeaway. So, yeah. Okay. Um, my my What's your takeaway? I mean, like like zero shaken like like not a little less like like I like my strategy would be 100% different. Actually, uh, Scott Besson has an incredible podcast from like September of last year, and he basically said, you know, Bid Biden got it all wrong. And I was like listening to it. I was like, oh, okay, actually, this is kind of cool. Like, he basically says, deregulate the US, make it easier to build manufacturing in the US, increase the GDP, and then you'll be able to take in less tax revenue, spend less in the government. And it was like, oh, this is actually like a glide path. We could take we could take the fact that we did a soft landing relative to the rest of the globe. We're winning in AI. We're winning in it in in you know, you know, number of categories. We obviously need more energy. We need we need to bring in manufacturing into the US. And and so you you have this great momentum which is where we are the tech leader, you know, in the world. Let's like just pour fuel on that. And so to pour fuel on that, you you do you just do a series of carrots and and the and the winds that build a flywheel of positive energy. Like the reason why I take I take a little bit of exception to to Chimas's MSN point is that I think to some extent Fortune 500 CEOs are not the ones like oh my gosh like like Rachel Matto said this like I'm going to go and and you know worry about this topic now like like the information coming at them is is I'm not talking about the information that's presented. I'm talking about the information that's excluded. How do you get the information that's not published and shared broadly? No, no, but but come on. Like like Goldman Sachs and JP Morgan are not writing reports on the fact that we might enter a recession because of of MSNB's MSNBC's reporting on this topic. Like like again, but again, that's not what I'm talking about. I'm saying like gladhanding some highlevel prognostication which nobody ever gets right is in my opinion worthless. What I'm talking about is the details. So when you talk about something as narrow and specific as excluding PPE or allowing you to double or triple depreciate something in a given calendar year, fantastic. That is narrow. It's precise. It's specific. It's actionable. And what I'm saying is if I surveyed the 500 CEO of the S&P 500, dollars to donuts, the overwhelming majority would not have known. And had they brushed up against that somehow in their normal media consumption to then ask their teams, the odds of that would have been zero as well. So I guess then who do we who do we blame for this chim? Is it the administration's job or mainstream media? But I bet you everybody knows about the blurring out of the stupid, you know, pictures on the lawn and the MS-13 knuckle tattoos. Yeah. Okay. So let's uh wrap up on this just really lightning round here. Amazon flip-flopped on a new tariff notification on their websites. Trump said he had a great discussion with Bezos. He solved the problem very quickly. He did the right thing, good guy, etc. If you haven't seen this, it's something that Teimu is doing. Here's what Timu does uh currently today. Nick, you have that image. If you could pull it up of just when there is a tariff, they explain the tariff coming into the country. They put it as like a line item. I thought this was actually kind of cool. I don't know why people take offense, Brian. This is pretty standard stuff. So Amazon's competitor Tim Teimu is putting in the import charges. They don't say tariffs. They don't say taxes. Import charges. This is like a standard thing. This happens in other countries too. What is this? What is Teeu? This is like a dollar store. It's basically like a dollar. Is it this the last place you would ever buy jeans? Yeah, you can buy $12 jeans. Basically, your left sock from Laura Piana costs less than Timu's entire inventory of jeans. The point being, um, I thought this was actually a plus for I think they totally misplayed this. They they they did it, they rolled it out, then they got criticized. I think they were called a treasonous company from the White House press uh, you know, by the press secretary. Uh, they totally misplayed this because they should have gone and leaned into it and said, "Yeah, we're showing you all these tariffs when you buy from China. If you buy from America, you don't have to pay any tariff and look at all these other products." Come on. Come on. That would have lasted three and a half seconds. This is exactly consistent with the other issue which is they're playing whack-a-ole. Okay, we're going to do something with the automakers. We're going to we're going to try and solve some problem with Amazon. Like like this is a sign that that it like it's not a good strategy if you have to do this much whack-a-ole. Like like they they're not like they can't cover up what Amazon is going to end up dealing with because there's going to be 500 other retailers that that don't get the call with Trump. So, so this is like that that like to me that's evidence of of clearly this they didn't think through the entire downstream set of of of conditions that are going to change as a result of this. Sure. Yeah. I I thought this was a big win uh Chimoth because they could then have Amazon Here's um a mockup somebody made. I'll pull it up here. It was interesting. They could to Aaron's point just show hey here's a bunch of American companies by American when you do a search. Ryan's point. I'm sorry, Ryan's point. Hey, here's what it might look like. Pull pull that um the OralB toothbrush one up, Nick, if you got it right there. So, somebody mocked this up. I think this could be the hugest win. You could have the retailers do buy American, buy it once, buy a high quality product from America. If you look here, we don't have the products. It wouldn't work. We don't have the products. Well, I mean, we do have for some products, you know, Americanmade products. Uh, you know, I buy my boots from Danner and those are all American. Yeah. So, we should just go back to communism and we're all going to make our our shoes. Like, it's like that's like we we're in a global market. Like, we buy from everywhere. Chamop, any thoughts on this? I mean, obviously there's the whack-a-ole angle. There's buy American and be proud of it. There's communication. Here's the narrow question. I I got a bunch of emails from people and a bunch of them were Amazon sellers and I don't know Nick if you can find it but I posted their comments and I reshared them just to kind of highlight the issues that they were going through and at the core of it was a feeling by them that Amazon had abandoned them as American purveyors and sellers of goods and that Amazon on the margins had attended to help competitors from abroad come stand themselves up and compete and essentially cannibalize on price and margin. This is my view completely and that this is the biggest opportunity that I think the Trump administr administration's flying at 40,000 ft doing macrolevel negotiations and look and failing to see some of these micro optimizations that are really really real. So you in the United States you can import goods as a foreign company. You don't not you do not have to create an LLC or any sort of registered entity in the United States to import goods. Sometimes they say, "Oh, Americans pay the tariff." Like that is not true. In many many cases, the foreign company just imports this stuff and they sell on Amazon. And when they get caught cheating, they can they can lie about the valuation and pay a lower tariff. They can change the classification and pay a lower tariff. They can import stuff that, you know, is harmful to children, has lead, paint, whatever else. There's no enforcement at all. You can't. So you're saying Amazon third party is like a bit of a backdoor to abuse the system, right? I mean, Amazon is sort of just playing the game that's on the field, but they're this is legal in the United States is these companies import stuff and I think it's 60% of all of all the sellers on Amazon are these Chinese registered. They're not registered in the United States at all. Just Chinese companies. Which sounds profoundly unfair in terms playing field. Can we just take a step back and also acknowledge that we are talking about a level of detailed issues that we would never have talked about 6 months ago. That there was no interest in even bringing this up. Like if if Ryan wanted to bring up the sort of hollowing out of American salesmanship, let's say, if you will, because of like this arbitrage that Amazon does for GMV. That would have been a snoozefest. except today it can actually get a lot of awareness and Erin mentioned this and I've mentioned this before but like I think that there are four things that really matter batteries AI pharma APIs and rare earths that now is on the agenda I think the the positive way to look at this is the American economy is too complicated if you had waited Aaron for a study for all of the implications we would have been waiting forever and nothing would have happened and I think that we've made macrolevel moves you're right and now we are finding what the implications are in course correcting in real time. And I hope what happens though is when we find these big thorny issues, I think the Amazon thing is a is a pretty interesting issue actually about like American competitiveness. Now the question is do we follow through and get to the root cause of it and and fix it. And those feedback loops are there. I mean the Trump administration is going to act on this and if then there's an act that's coming out of Congress as well to shut down the foreign import of records. So those feedback loops are there in ways that I don't I don't know if they were there in the past. Go ahead, Erin. We can totally chaos monkey the the economy and just see what breaks. I think that the you know you you you sort of phrase the we could, you know, do the research paper and we could do, you know, Aspen Institute as a bad thing, but also it can be a bad thing if you're the small business owner right now who has 30 employees and you just literally don't know what you're going to do next month. And so, so that that's that's sort of then the argument to not counterbalance. That's like why you do have some bureaucracy and and you don't chaos monkey the economy and why Rand Paul is literally saying we shouldn't actually let you know have unilateral you know control over tariffs. So you know interesting that that like dynamic there. All right, you want to uh wrap us up here or you want to pass? Oh, am I still on the pod? Yeah. Well, you turned your camera off. So, look, I spent 80 minutes debating this topic with Larry Summers three weeks ago. The point I made then is that we had in this city at for 25 years a globalist consensus on trade that distorted a lot of outcomes. And I don't need to rehash that debate, but I'll just recall that Larry Summer's main argument for why this would not work out is that the market was down. Do you remember that? That was his evidence. Yeah. That this wasn't going to work. Okay? And it was all about the market not pricing in lower expectations. Well, guess what? The market is actually up since Liberation Day on April 2nd. So, what happened 3 weeks ago was basically a panic in the market over this policy and the media has been trying to fuel that panic. Now, what I said as well is we do have to stick the landing on this. I mean, President Trump shifted the conversation away from this globalist consensus and he's now redefined the debate, but it is now up to Scott Bessant, the Treasury Secretary, Howard Lutnik, the commerce secretary, Jameson Greer, the US trade rep, and so on, the Trump trade team, to now negotiate these deals, stick the landing. And I agree with you to the extent that the sooner that is done, the better because it is good to provide business certainty. But the idea that so far this hasn't worked. I think again the main argument against that was the market reaction that now the market's not positive. So I think my point is just we need to give this time to work. I think it's too soon to be judging this policy as if it hasn't worked yet. It needs to be executed properly. And quite frankly, Ryan, I mean, I remember the last time you were on this pod, you were coming on about, wasn't there like some union deal that was supposed to shut down all the ports and all the shelves would be empty? That never happened either. It did happen. It did. They shut down for 3 days. I don't Okay. I don't remember the the shelves being empty, which is now the new panic the media is trying to create. So, look, there's a lot of pants wedding that's occurring here that's being fueled by the media. Well, well, I I do want I want I do want to I just want to bookmark one one thing. The only thing I actually um I was more frustrated listening to the Larry Summers and and you conversation because I was like, why Larry make this point like come on. Like, what? Don't go down the WTO rat hole. Like, that's that's not relevant. So, here here's the other thing. Of course, it's relevant. It's how we got here. No, no. Like like as in like that's 25 years ago. Like let's worry about literally today and like what what do we do going forward today? And the only thing I just want to say because I because I I do think that that you know I appreciate your point about hey there's like you know everybody's freaking out whatever but to be totally fair that some of that freak out whether we can decide how emotional it needs to be is the reason that then Trump walks back the things that then cause the market to correct. So, so we can't just say the market's back and and like see we didn't need to freak out cuz it was literally I said we have to make the deals. We have to stick to the landing. But look, China over the last 25 years has been able to strategically annihilate our rare earth processing capability and our ability to cast rare earth magnets. We just sat back and watched as the market basically went to the lowest bidder which was being subsidized by the Chinese government which the WTO allowed them to do. And now we have a critical dependency. Yep. In our supply chain on China for basically every electric motor in every product, including cars. That was crazy. We should not have allowed that to happen. How are you going to change that? So, we needed to shift the political conversation to recognize the ways in which free trade led to unfair trade and created unacceptable dependencies on the for the American economy. Wait, wait, just I just want to make one one point. It's more than that. point and then I'll but this is the national security of the United States that that's at stake. Let's go take your favorite pet issue. China invades Taiwan. Okay. And we have to take a side. Jason, my pet is hold on. Let me just finish. And the and the and the Chinese say here are the implications of supporting Taiwan on this A, B, C, and D. You don't get any pharma APIs. You don't get any rare earths. You don't get any batteries. Okay, it'll it'll send life back 50 years. Or let's say China and India get into a fight and we're forced to pick a side. Same situation. The point is there's all these scenarios that we never even considered us being able to have strategic optionality to make the decision that's morally and ethically right for the United States. And I think that we have learned through this lens that these are huge issues. The thing that the Chinese did that was so brilliant, which we still don't have an answer for is they have these national champions. And being a national champion allows you, and we'll talk about this in AI, it allows you to blur the lines between the public and private partnership. It allows you to blur the law. It allows you to blur capital. And I'm not saying we have to do that, but what I am saying is we need to have our own answer to it. And that was never on the table until April 9th. All right. So yeah, but but like 100% like do that strategy and then and then and then don't have a mad rush. What is the strategy? No, no, no. Because because that's a you if you have a, you know, Ryan, what what is the number? I don't know, trillion of imports or whatever, like you don't need everybody then than then jamming the system to build their supply chain, you know, in the US to solve that problem immediately. If we're sitting here in 9 months and you're saying this and there are no deals, I would say that you're right. what Howard Lutnik said last week and again we may have all gotten caught up in the knuckle tattoos and we missed this but he was very clear we have a country a deal is already done we're convening parliament it's going to be the first of many so for all we know there's like 30 deals that are waiting in the wings and the first one will set the tone and and I think that Sax is right here which is it's way too early to declare defeat and that it was quote unquote chaos I think if we're sitting here in 9 months and foreign direct investment has shriveled up and domestic investment has shriveled up because there is just no continuity. You have a claim. But that's No, no, because I I I don't I don't think that'll happen. I don't I don't think that'll happen. I think we will end up in like I'm I'm with Ryan like we will end up in a good spot because we'll iterate through this. My my only point is there's an alternative path that that could have occurred. It could have been done in a more thoughtful well-communicated pattern instead of hey let's do barrel rolls with the airplane. I don't disagree with you, Aaron, and I can tell you we've already started to see layoffs and nobody wanted to even initiate the barrel roll, guys. Yeah, listen, we get it. It's like, hey, I don't want anything to change. I think we agree to disagree on this. We got to move on to the next one. Hold on. This one last point. Excuse me. Excuse me. You didn't call me for 40 minutes. I just want to make one final point. Eron, here he goes. Erin, where were you with this perfect plan? Yeah. Where were you with this perfect plan before Liberation Day? I was telling Kla about it. You were telling Kamla. Okay, great. They were having nobody nobody ties and they were talking about this specific issue. All the people who suddenly know what the perfect plan is and how to perfectly execute it. No barrel rolls had nothing to say about this topic for 25 years. Now all of a sudden they've come forward with their perfect plans. I would say that's victory for Trump. Finish. It's like look at this. The best thing of all of this is you've got the Liberals embracing Milton Friedman and their backgrounds on there. I love it. Yes. Uh All right. Listen, we're going to agree to disagree. We're going to agree to disagree on this one. You know, the Liberals love the stock market. Listen, Sachs Kla is coming on next week. We're going to make some cocktails. It's going to be wonderful. You we'll ask her some direct questions about it. But I want to talk about AI agents. 2025 shaping up to be the year of AI agents. Tons to talk about here. Open AI is planning to charge between two and 20K a month for different levels of AI agencies would be basically cron jobs they would run in the background and do things for your company that uh humans are doing right now. You may have heard of this uh agentic tool. Again agentic is just a fancy word for agent which is a fancy ro word for like a cron job that just runs uh perpetually. Yep. And uh Manis is uh the company in China that started this weirdly benchmark invested in it that's created a whole bluff on the side and Manis' website has a really good visualization of what these agents would look like. So first of all I think you're giving a little too much credit to Manis. They didn't come up with the agents but I do think that they have a very good demo and it's hard to know exactly how real it is because not everyone's used it and it's from China. It's from China. I'll get to that in a second. If you go to their website, you can see a bunch of their demos. And I do think that what they deserve credit for is advancing the ball on the UI paradigm. And it's not that other people weren't doing this. I mean, I think notably Anthropic was doing this with its operator product, but the basic idea is that you've got this two-pane view and in one window, you've got the standard chatbot interface and then in the other view, you can see what the agent is doing. And that agent has the ability to toggle between it currently four apps. There's search, browser, code, terminal, and document editor. And so when you give Manis a task, the first thing it does is create a to-do list in the document editor. You can kind of see it there. And then it works sequentially to achieve each of those tasks and then puts an X on them there. And you can kind of see it working. And I think what's cool about the demo is just the way that it seamlessly toggles between those four apps. and you can see what the AI agent is doing, you know, and it's browsing the internet, it's searching for things, it's writing documents, it's crossing things off its to-do list. Now, I think it's pretty easy to imagine where this goes, which is you'll be able to connect an agent to all of your SAS apps. So, it won't just be four applications. It'll now be connected to dozens of applications, including ones that already have your data. And it's going to know what actions it's possible to take in those apps. So when it creates its to-do list, there's a much wider range of things that it can accomplish. And in fact, there's a new standard called MCP which is taking off like wildfire which is built specifically to enable agents to connect with applications and understand the data and understand the actions that are possible in those SAS applications. So look, Manis is just at the tip of the iceberg here. I think this will become a very standard UI paradigm. That's the reason why I mention it. Not because I am predeclaring them to be the winner in the space, but just because I think there's a lot of talk about agents and I think it's hard to conceptualize what that means without just seeing it visually. A great great summary there, Saxs. And Aaron, I want to get your thoughts on it because obviously you're running Box and and you have your your finger on the pulse of this. We actually started building one of these in our venture firm. We have 20,000 applications a year and we have updates coming in from investments. We are now taking those sacks Aaron and we are having an agent sort them and then look for competitors and compare them to the last update and we're looking into our notion our kod and saying what else have what other communications have we had what questions should we ask about the startup and about their strategy and then we're presenting that in Slack to our team. So this is coming fast and furious and we spend I don't know probably 15 minutes on each of those incoming applications. You start doing the math on that. Talk about 5,000 hours of work. Aaron, what are you seeing on the street? What are you doing at Box in terms of agents landing right now in Q2 of 2025? Uh, yeah. I mean, I think I think Sax represented it well, which is which is, you know, you have to now think about AI as as effectively being able to do anything on a on a computer or another piece of software as as a human can do. And the little distraction that that I think happened two years ago after the chatbt moment was we sort of thought about that as oh we're just going to now you know do like typing information retrieval and that's a new paradigm for user interfaces let's say so you just like talk to your software and you like search Zillow via chat that was sort of a little bit of a distraction that that's super helpful like when you want basic information lookup or whatnot the big breakthrough was starting to think through these things as as full you know effectively uh uh you know agentic systems that that operate on any amount of data, any amount of tools for as long as you want to complete any task that you want. And this is sort of the big year where agents are starting to, you know, enter the vocabulary of enterprises, of IT people, of, you know, larger and and certainly small organizations. Um, and and it kind of requires you to have a little bit of a of a reset moment on how you think about AI, which is which is it's not just now a kind of a co-pilot that you talk back and forth with. it's actually something running behind the scenes that's now actually starting to deliver, you know, real automated, you know, kind of work for you. And so lot lots of implications like, you know, massive implications to what the software business model is in the future. You know, I I I would argue, you know, strongly that's a massive TAM increase um because now software starts to go after labor spend. It completely changes the dynamics of then, you know, how do you build a moat in a world of AI agents? Um uh but but I think unpack that piece there Erin. You said something very interesting how you how software then is going to go over human spend. Yes. Explain that concept. Unpack it for a second. David and I, you know, we we we go back way back in SAS land, but like you used to basically just, you know, you built you built a piece of of software and you sell it for the number of of people in the organization. And so, you know, company has 500 employees and uh and you sell that thing for, let's say, $10, you know, a user a month, you know, 120 bucks a year and you make 60,000 bucks. Um, and so so that that's kind of the business model. Uh, now when your software actually brings the underlying workflow to the customer or the underlying outcome to the customer, so you know that that company might have 10 lawyers and so previously if you were selling software for lawyers, you had a maximum amount of 10 seats that you could sell. Now all of a sudden if your AI agents are doing the equivalent of let's say parallegal work or some form of professional services all of a sudden you might be able to sell a multiple of the initial kind of 10 seats that you would have sold previously. So you see it as a huge opportunity because now you're not enabling a human to be 5% more productive. You're replacing a human or you're replacing one out of 10. Yeah. And and actually I'm going to take a massive I'm going to do an underscore on this point though. I I don't I don't like the word replace because I I think actually most of the upside is actually going to be for companies that now deploy labor at things that they wouldn't have deployed labor at before. And and you know, maybe I'm biased from the view we have, but most of our conversations with customers are when they have AI agents, it they can actually now go and actually deliver work in areas that would have been unaffordable previously. So they actually they weren't doing the work. True in logistics. So, like we we're making thousands of phone calls a day using AI, calling truck drivers, and we if we have a load, we've got 400,000 truck drivers using the mobile app, the Flexport mobile app. I don't have enough loads to keep them all checking it every day to see if there's a load that matches them. And if they don't check it, I they're they're useless to me now. And it was too expensive to call the truck driver and have a human call and talk to them, even if it's a human in a call center in the Philippines. Whereas with AI, it's almost free. I'm calling thousands of them a day going, "Hey, this load looks like it's a good match for you. Are you interested?" And and then we activate them on the platform. Um, that's new work that wasn't going to happen before, not just a replacement. Yeah, I I think that I think probably I think like we we have, you know, in the valley, unfortunately, we've been co-opted a little bit somewhat with with a little bit of a doomer, you know, mindset in some areas and and we think of then AI is, okay, like like it's all fixed pie, it's going to replace things. And on the ground with large enterprises, the vast majority of the use cases are are it's it's the you know, it's the ability to finally review the contracts that we never got around to reviewing. It's the ability to finally automate an invoice process that we never did. It's the ability to go in and just create marketing campaigns in every language that we never got around to. And so so I think that'll probably be actually like 90% of the usage of AI in the future will be things that if we look back and we snap the line right now and we said this is what knowledge work is today. 90% of AI usage will be things that we don't do today. 10% will will replace you know what we're what we're doing in some areas. I think that's the right take cuz Chimath I can tell you in our firm we would never have associates or researchers or analysts sax you also were in this line of work as well venture capital you would never have them review legal documents. That's something lawyers would do in the legal department. But now because of AI, we have them say, "Here's the safe. Here's the term sheet. Here's the edited version, dump it all in, find out what the changes are, what are the deltas here, and and then let's have a discussion about what the founder changed in a Sander document, and we don't have to bother with an attorney, and maybe you wouldn't have even checked those documents if you were, you know, a seed fund or an angel fund. You would just go along for the ride because you're the 10th person signing the documents." So what what do you think Chimoth here in terms of the premise that maybe it's 10% replacing work that's happening but this is blue ocean and we're going to do 90% of like new stuff that we just never got to. Yeah, I tend to I tend to believe that's true. I think the customers that we sell into at 8090 are largely large enterprises as well. So not dissimilar to Aeron's customer base. What I would say is that what they are encountering is the trough of disillusionment. And I don't know if Erin, you're seeing this as well, but every single, you know, CIO ran around signing up some sort of AI product in large part because their CEO would say to them, hey, what's your AI strategy? And the reason the CEO asked them that is that at some point somebody on the board said, what are we doing about AI? So that's the the cascade that that that we went through in the last two years. And I think what has happened now is people have spent billions and billions of dollars. I think you can see it in the revenue traction of the AI companies. But I think where we are today is that there are some real technical complexities that have not been solved. I'll give you an example. We have a lot of customers in regulated industries which is to say that if you make a mistake you will get fined or you will get shut down. Life sciences, healthcare, financial services are three examples. People still don't seem to appreciate that when you replace software that is deterministic with software that is probabilistic, meaning software that somebody wrote for you, do A then do B, then do C with an LLM that can hallucinate, you'll have errors. So what used to be a throwaway thing, which is quality assurance and QA, right? unit testing, integration testing is now the only thing that matters. Why? Because if you're a financial services institution and you're supposed to do KYC and hit BORS and now all of a sudden you send a wire somewhere in Syria, guess what? You're in trouble. Bueno. Yeah. If you're a healthcare company and you're supposed to do some clinical diagnosis to send out a drug on time and you don't do that because the the model hallucinates, that's a real problem. And I am guaranteeing you, we have not seen the class action lawsuits that will come when those errors will eventually be made. They're guaranteed to be made. We just don't know the scope and the scale of them. So that's why I'm sort of of this posture where I think we've sold in a ton of promise. I think the reality is much more tactical. It's a little bit more benal. I think we're sorting through the exact use cases where you can put guard rails around these error rates where it's okay and tolerable. Like Ryan will probably tell you there's some number of phone calls that just sound totally fcocked but he's okay with that because the broader thing is okay and Aaron will so I don't know. So I don't want to talk to my customers though. I have it calling truck drivers to offer them you know offer them loads but I'm not having to talk to my customer. Sorry, I I meant your truck drivers, but my my my point just is that I think agents are real, but I think that we are far away from that because we're still at the phase of how do you build reliable software in production for an enterprise versus the toy apps that you see on the internet which is like let me vibe code something. I think these things are worlds apart still. Okay, so let me get saxed in on here and just to inform the audience you heard tri of disillusionment. This comes from the hype cycle. This is something Gartner has been talked about for a long time. So in case you're taking it for granted if you're watching, you have some sort of technology trigger like agents. You have this like peak of inflated expectations. Now we're in the trial of disillusionment. Hey, this stuff doesn't work. It's hallucinating. But we're kind of going up that works. It just doesn't say we're on the slope of I don't see the disillusionment. I don't know where this is coming from. I don't even think we're at the peak yet. Oh, okay. So you think we're still going up? cuz I I a lot of people to Shimat's point were buying stuff and saying, "Hey, it doesn't work, you know, and now we're in the mess." Let me say let me say it differently, Sax. I think we have not yet figured out how to move the budgets from experimentation to mainline production. Meaning where large chunks of the US economy are comfortable enough with the ways in which hallucinations are managed such that they will replace legacy deterministic code with this new probabilistic model generated code meaning model enabled code. Let's just put it that way. Where are we on the slope here? Yeah. Look, I would I would separate change management issues, which are always going to be important and there's always going to be big ones whenever there's a big disruption, especially in enterprise and especially around compliance and legal and all that kind of stuff. I would separate that from the impact of the underlying technology trend. And I don't think the impact has come anywhere close to peaking yet. And in fact, I would say the rate of progress is exponential right now on at least three key dimensions. So number one is the algorithms themselves. The models are improving at a rate of I don't know three to four times a year. They're not just getting faster and and better, but qualitatively they're different. Remember, we started with pure LLM chat bots. Then we went to reasoning models. And the difference there is with a chatbot, I just it's like kind of a smart PhD or college student giving you an answer off the top of their heads. The reasoning models, it's more like the PhD saying, "Okay, let me go off and think about that. Let me do a project on that." And it could work for 30 seconds or a couple of minutes. I mean, as much compute as you want to throw at it and it will break down your complicated question into a bunch of sub questions and then it'll try different approaches and it can validate some of those approaches and come back to you with a much more impressive answer. And if you've been using like the Gro 3 deep research or the new Chad GBT3 to do these types of new reasoning models, it's pretty mind-blowing what they're capable of. Have we even come close to figuring out how to tap the potential there, especially in an enterprise context? No, but my point is that the rate of progress on the algorithms is again three or four times here. Okay, go finish about sex and then I'll I'll take it and pass it. Go ahead. Well, I was trying to lay out the dimensions of which progress is proceeding exponentially. Okay, so one is the algorithms. Okay, which is not just quantitative, it's also qualitative. We didn't even get to the agents part of it yet, but that's the next big leap after reasoning models. We're just starting to scratch the surface there. Then you've got the chips. I mean, the chips are getting better at, I don't know, three to 4x a year. We've gone from, you know, the H100 to the H200. Now we're on the GB200. We'll be a GB300 soon. We'll be on to three times better per year or they get better three times per year. No, no, no. They're getting the chips themselves, depending on how you measure it. Each generation of chips is probably three or four times better than the last. Okay. and Nvidia is back to rolling out new chip, new generation of products roughly annually and I'm just using them as one example. Obviously there are other companies as well. So basically the lead from Hopper to Blackwell to got it Reuben I guess will be in next year and and then I think Fman's coming after that. I mean really an astounding rate of progress. It's not just the individual chips are getting better. They're figuring out how to network them together like with NVL72. It's like a rack system to create much better performance at the data center level. And that would be like the the third area where you're seeing basically exponential progress. Just look at the number of GPUs are being deployed in data centers. So when Elon first started training Grock, I think they had maybe 100,000 GPUs. Colossus was 100,000. Correct. Right now they're up to 300,000. They're on the way to a million. Same thing with OpenAI's data center, Stargate. And within a couple years they'll be at I don't know 5 million GPUs, 10 million GPUs. So and you see that on the power side, right? You're going from 100 megawatt data centers to 300 megawatts to we're just starting to now see the first gigawatt power data centers. I don't even think they're live yet, but this is where they're trying to get to. And I don't think it's beyond the real possibility that we could be at 5 or 10 gawatt data centers in the next I don't know several years. So, so my point is just look, the algorithms, the chips, and the data centers are all improving or scaling at a rate of, I don't know, 3 to 4x a year. That's 10x every 2 years. Okay? Where people don't understand exponential progress is that if you're getting better at 10x every 2 years, that doesn't mean you'll be at 20x in four years. It means you'll be at 100x. 100x. So the models, the chips, and the data centers will all be 100 times more powerful in four years, let's say at the end of of this presidential term. So you multiply those things together, the algorithms, the chips, and then the raw compute that's available, you're talking about a millionx increase, some of which will be captured in price reductions, some of it will be in the performance ceiling, and then some of it will just be in the overall amount of of AI compute that's available to the economy. But the impact of this thing is going to be absolutely massive and I think people still don't even appreciate that fact because they don't understand exponential progress. Yeah. And I think maybe just to square the circle the the because because everything is that that you just said tax is what I think is propelling the industry and then the reality on Jama's side like like just just to connect the dots. So uh we have an eval test that we do uh where we run enterprise data through every model to to kind of figure out its accuracy rate and and you know how much it's not even hallucination but just literally how much data does it miss when we ask for facts. The best model in the world um actually interestingly we was gro three on on this particular test. We send it 500 documents and we ask for 40 data fields back from the documents and so it has to get every single data field correct and we only do a single pass. So we send the document to to the to the model, we get a single pass back. Right now the the best score is about 90%. Um and so you can imagine a number of industries where you can't have 90% accuracy, you know, if you give something, you know, a question on 40 data fields. Now there's ways to solve it is you rerun it multiple times or you chunk up the document into smaller parts and so it doesn't get confused by the large context window. But a lot of the people that were deploying AI a year ago or a year and a half ago weren't doing that. And so they they you know they did have a a kind of a a pilot run of something and it it kind of worked okay. And what they have to realize back to your point sax is like this space is literally exponentially you know changing and so if you don't use the the latest methods of okay you have to actually like run the data through the model multiple times um and you have to chunk up the data into smaller parts and you have to use a reasoning model and you have to make sure that your your prompt is like hyper tuned for the particular use case. If you haven't done those four things, then you probably will actually end up with a project that fails. And and even so, even when you do all those things for even, you know, harder problems, you know, you're still going to run into issues. So, I think I think the challenge is that everybody's running a million miles an hour right now and they're trying a lot of things. Some work, some don't work at the same time that the space is actually, you know, you know, changing at a at a pretty uh, you know, kind of crazy rate. and let's take a look at our partner Poly Market and uh which company they think will have the best AI model by the end of 2025 and get feedback from our panel on if you think this is accurate and who you would pick here. Looks like Google is in the lead here. 41% of people believe that they will have the best AI model by the end of the question. What is what is the dimension like you know we use Gemini so for many tasks at 8090 we use Gemini it's incredible but for most of our codegen we use anthropic and claude kicks ass it's it's exceptional this is uh based on the best scores in the chatbot arena which just became a fourth company so that is slightly different because people have gamed tests so that is a rub there people are now building their a model for the AVAL unit right all the models are way overfitted for these eval so but if you had to pick who's your I mean so I guess Chimath you're saying you have to take a task by task it's what depends on task I agree what Zach said is right so it's kind of like what what problem are you trying to solve and then you have to ride this technology wave that is compounding very quickly all I was just trying to get across is that the error rates have been diminishing but not nearly as fast as you need for some sectors of the economy so you can use a model to generate deterministic code that's great and as long as you unit test it and integration test it'll be fine but I'm saying if you're going to use a model in production in an environment where if there are consequences we're not there yet but you could use it for writing or writing jokes or maybe but that's that's too binary like it's already used right now in healthcare but it's just the doctor's meeting notes that that would normally take 30 minutes to go and transcribe yeah so so it's we you can't be too too black and white on that one yeah what's happening right now the reason why the the progress is so rapid in coding assistance and I I think you know you're right that enthropic with was it claw 3.7 37 yeah yeah I think they're the leader and in fact I think the manis demo that we showed it's not entirely a rapper on clawed because they actually they do a number of different things but I think they are significantly using anthropic for the code assistant part of it in any event the reason why the progress is so rapid with coding is because code compiles and you can determine objectively whether it works or not, you can validate it. And so that makes it a perfect area for AI to get better at through reinforcement learning and test time compute is AI tries a bunch of things. It sees what works. It sees what compiles, sees what the user then accepts, and then be able to learn and iterate based on that. That's why coding right now is really the big breakthrough application and use case. But it's not going to be the only one. I mean, math is another good area where I think AI is improving rapidly again because math you have proofs and you can look at the results and see if it validates. Now, I think one of the big questions in terms of AI progress is how extensible is the progress to other areas that don't easily validate that way. So, for example, legal work is I think a really good area for AI, but how do you validate that it's correct? You would have to go to a court, right? the court is the compiler like a lawsuit is the compiler or maybe the laws or you could hire like a thousand lawyers or experts in an area to basically do you know reinforcement people are doing people people are doing but it's not like a compiler to your point it's not like a it's not the progress isn't going to be as rapid because it's harder to validate but absolutely but my guess is that once they figure out how to nail coding math and the things that are easily validated they can move to the things that are harder to validate and but I I think this is one of the big questions is whether I think people just kind of assume that AI progress will be you know equally fast in all areas and I think it's possible that AI gets really good in some areas better than human but it's sort of childlike in other areas and um narrow possible outcome is make your point right like with a finite answer or an answer we know is the definitive well this is but but this is the the important thing about the agent kind of you know let's just say uh framework or architecture uh you momentum was was instead of just saying okay we're going to do a single pass through the model and then whatever it comes back with is is we're going to be satisfied um like you know the legal work might be might be reviewed by another agent whose job is to review legal work and so we we can just throw more and more compute at the problem uh and we're just early in figuring out how to architect those or multiple models right you could have you have enthropic checkp check Gemini yeah when you have some anomaly it spits back out to the user. So human in the loop still matters in this type of process. In the early days of OCR, you would have a computer say here's the characters in this legal document. Then you'd have two humans type it in and then you would get a certain level of certainty. You'll quickly find that when you layer these models on top of each other, the test time compute costs are astronomical. Y and Aaron's probably dealt with this like it's like I get a bill from AWS and it's like oh wait, hold on a second. I just, you know, per 100,000 this month. what's going on. So we have to get to the bottom. That that by the way is another major trend line which is that the new applications that we talked about are all much more token intensive. So we went from basic LLMs totally you know which don't require that many tokens to give you an answer to the reasoning model where you can spend a thousand times more tokens just getting one answer to a question and now the agents are going to be even more token intensive than that. So the amount of compute required to serve all these new applications is going to be massive which is why I think the capex buildout actually makes sense when you do a deep research to your point David you're firing off maybe 200 queries and it's asking them the AI is saying hey what query should I ask on behalf of the user and then you go down that rabbit hole you it's basically like doing 200 of them at once Ryan uh your thoughts here on AI first companies and agentic computing well the one I really wanted to tie back to was actually our earlier conversation on tariffs and there's a very real use case of of LLMs is how do you classify a product and you'd like to get to what we see today when we did our first machine learning based natural language classification of a product you take a product URL listing page a Shopify page or Amazon page and say hey what what classification code is this what duty is owed six years ago in a hackathon we got to like 70% accuracy we're now in high 90s accuracy versus what a human trained expert will get to but you actually get to which is not good enough. You know, you're wrong 3% of the time. You know, you might have committed a violation of the law for sure. But actually, what is truth in that regard? It's there's a lot of gray area in this. And truth ultimately is what does customs say? What does the CBP determine is correct? And those guys are using software, right? That's pretty that's a very simple algorithm and it's a decision tree that's going, okay, is it a shoe? Yes. Is the top made of leather? Yes. You know, is the bottom made of rubber? and they just go through a very simple and that outputs it. And so on some level, if you convince the government to use your LLM, it becomes true whether it's true or not.
