Transcript

00:00:00.140 Patrick, you know who Patrick Bateman is?
00:00:02.920 Do you guys know the name Patrick Bateman, Rob?
00:00:04.560 The actor?
00:00:05.580 Who's Patrick Bateman?
00:00:06.580 From Psycho?
00:00:07.380 From Psycho, exactly.
00:00:09.560 Good memory, Rob.
00:00:11.120 So, can you play this clip?
00:00:14.200 Interviewer as Askin Newsome.
00:00:16.720 Rob, do you have this or no?
00:00:18.100 Yes, was it in your notes?
00:00:19.280 It was in my notes, yes.
00:00:20.700 Interviewers as Askin Newsome
00:00:22.280 that your friends are even comparing you.
00:00:25.580 Watch this one.
00:00:26.240 You're zooming a little bit, Rob.
00:00:27.560 Go ahead.
00:00:28.580 Patrick Bateman talk.
00:00:29.620 I don't know, but...
00:00:30.400 I mean, people say that you are like American Psycho.
00:00:33.420 Yeah.
00:00:34.940 Like I said, Newsome.
00:00:36.500 I mean, look...
00:00:37.540 But even your friends, like, say this.
00:00:39.080 Oh, do they?
00:00:39.660 Yeah, I...
00:00:40.560 I'm going to reevaluate my guest list.
00:00:42.840 I mean, there was a comedian that said
00:00:44.680 a literal comic book villain from Central Cast
00:00:47.120 and Patrick Bateman vibes.
00:00:48.820 He definitely had someone killed or made.
00:00:50.780 Watch how close it.
00:00:53.340 Watch his hand gesture.
00:00:54.600 I'm glad I still have some humor left.
00:00:56.960 I mean, this is a rough business.
00:00:58.760 Yeah, it is.
00:00:59.200 This is a rough...
00:00:59.980 Particularly if you're willing to fight.
00:01:02.360 There's Vinny.
00:01:02.740 I'm just a happy camper.
00:01:06.000 Rocking and a-rolling.
00:01:08.540 You make up all the Patrick Bateman talk.
00:01:11.060 Okay.
00:01:12.220 So, California.
00:01:14.120 That was nervous laughter.
00:01:15.520 Yes.
00:01:16.340 California voters allowed Democrats
00:01:17.920 to redraw congressional map.
00:01:20.580 Rob, is this it?
00:01:21.420 Yes.
00:01:21.800 This is Fox News coverage.
00:01:22.900 Guys, it's officially four on 52, I believe.
00:01:27.260 Four on 50, I think.
00:01:28.980 Go ahead, Rob.
00:01:29.900 The yes vote in particular was Prop 50.
00:01:32.960 The reason voters said they voted yes on Prop 50,
00:01:37.420 82% of the case,
00:01:39.340 eight out of 10 voters say it was to counter the GOP changes,
00:01:42.520 not because they saw it was the best way
00:01:44.660 to draw those district lines.
00:01:46.880 Now, if you go back and look at those who said no to the vote,
00:01:50.760 they said their reasoning to do so is that they saw this as not the best way
00:01:54.640 to draw those district lines,
00:01:55.940 while only 34% said it was to stop the Democrats from adding seats in Congress.
00:02:02.400 A couple other things we're taking away from what voters said there in California.
00:02:07.000 We asked the voters and how they would actually like to see these lines drawn.
00:02:13.300 The irony of this trace is that nine out of 10 voters, even more so,
00:02:18.660 said they'd like to see this done by a nonpartisan commission,
00:02:22.020 not the party in power.
00:02:23.400 Well, that was preempted with the outcome of this vote.
00:02:27.640 Wow.
00:02:28.240 This is crazy.
00:02:28.780 Rob, do you have the chart?
00:02:30.380 There is a chart on this, yes.
00:02:31.900 You have to show this, on how they did it and what corner they went to.
00:02:36.620 Okay?
00:02:36.860 Because once this was done, you know, let me read this
00:02:41.980 and then while Tom is finding this.
00:02:43.300 Once this was done, California is done done
00:02:46.480 when it comes down to ever becoming a Republican,
00:02:50.000 especially on the House side.
00:02:52.100 But let me read this to you.
00:02:54.080 California voters have easily approved a ballot measure
00:02:57.440 to redraw the state's congressional map to favor Democrats
00:03:02.420 according to a race called by AP marking the party's biggest victory to date
00:03:06.580 in the national battle of redistricting ahead of 2026 midterms.
00:03:09.780 The measure called Prop 50 will replace lines drawn by an independent commission
00:03:15.700 with a map that could net Democrats as many as five new seats next year's House elections.
00:03:20.280 Look at this number here.
00:03:21.260 Look at that.
00:03:21.700 That's what happened in California.
00:03:23.840 Holy.
00:03:24.620 See what they did?
00:03:25.280 They took up Northern California
00:03:27.320 and they took the liberal coast
00:03:30.760 and they see those lines?
00:03:32.860 Of course.
00:03:33.660 Yes.
00:03:34.600 So the coastal weight,
00:03:36.620 they obliterated all the Northern farmers
00:03:38.620 and they obliterated the area around Sacramento.
00:03:42.560 And then down in San Diego,
00:03:44.720 they basically made sure that the gains that were made by the Republicans
00:03:48.980 down in San Diego, boom, they do it.
00:03:51.480 And then you look at the rate change that was in Orange County.
00:03:55.680 Look at that.
00:03:56.200 There you go.
00:03:56.800 Wow.
00:03:57.620 F you.
00:04:00.020 They need somebody who's a Republican to run as a Democrat
00:04:03.200 and kind of fake everybody out like a Trojan horse.
00:04:06.240 I think that's the only way to do it.
00:04:08.780 The only way to do it?
00:04:09.900 Yeah, it's for like a fake Democrat.
00:04:12.020 So you come in, then what do you do?
00:04:14.140 You start doing Republican things.
00:04:15.600 No, I get that.
00:04:16.320 But what I'm saying, how are you going to pass them?
00:04:18.540 You know your house, you know what it's going to be.
00:04:20.700 Do you know the numbers?
00:04:21.740 Yeah, no, the house is like a super majority.
00:04:23.560 So how are you going to pass anything?
00:04:24.940 Even if you act like a Democrat,
00:04:26.560 you get in by your Republican and you flip and say,
00:04:28.980 all right, I'm a Republican.
00:04:30.020 I want to pass the following.
00:04:31.880 I want to pass these following things.
00:04:34.280 How are you going to do it?
00:04:35.340 Yeah, there's going to be a limited amount of things you could do.
00:04:37.320 But I think across the board, too, people who are upset with this,
00:04:42.080 they could run for Congress, like the local Congress and Senate,
00:04:44.600 and do the same thing.
00:04:45.420 You have to run for anything as a Democrat, even if you are a Republican.
00:04:48.440 So across the board, from governor to House to Senate within the state to judges,
00:04:52.580 it's the same thing.
00:04:53.440 But you get what you're saying.
00:04:54.280 I do.
00:04:54.500 I get what you're saying, yeah.
00:04:55.620 What are you going to do?
00:04:56.340 Okay, go ahead.
00:04:56.960 Act.
00:04:58.000 Trust me.
00:04:58.700 I have to scroll up.
00:04:59.900 Tom, do you want to just text them, Tom?
00:05:01.540 You just text them.
00:05:02.460 You got your phone with them.
00:05:03.540 Tell them what you want them to do.
00:05:05.120 So do you realize when you think about what's going on right now,
00:05:08.300 here's how I think they thought about it, okay?
00:05:11.080 I think, Tom, they did the following.
00:05:13.720 I think Republicans sat there.
00:05:16.460 Do you think phone call was made for Greg Abbott to redistrict Texas?
00:05:21.520 Do you think that was an accidental one day Greg Abbott woke up and said,
00:05:26.140 let's redistrict Texas?
00:05:27.560 What do you think?
00:05:28.320 No.
00:05:29.220 You think there was a phone call made and it was strategic?
00:05:31.260 I think it was strategic, absolutely.
00:05:32.900 I agree.
00:05:33.520 Every state does it.
00:05:34.400 Okay, so here's a question, though.
00:05:35.960 Watch the most important question I believe I'd be asking if I'm behind closed doors.
00:05:39.880 You ready?
00:05:40.860 All right.
00:05:42.960 Go five years ago.
00:05:45.220 What is more likely to flip to the opposite side?
00:05:49.860 Is it more likely for California to go from Democrat to Republican,
00:05:54.080 or is it more likely for Texas to go from Republican to Democrat?
00:05:57.840 Texas.
00:05:57.960 Texas.
00:05:58.640 Exactly.
00:05:59.680 They started in Austin.
00:06:00.920 Exactly.
00:06:01.240 So you know what you do?
00:06:02.580 You're like, guys, if I lock in Texas and then they force California, we were never going
00:06:10.380 to have California in the first place anyways.
00:06:12.520 So who cares?
00:06:13.500 Do it.
00:06:14.220 I think that's the way they looked at it.
00:06:16.380 Let's lock in our biggest chip, which is what?
00:06:19.860 Texas.
00:06:20.780 And let them have California.
00:06:22.520 I think that's truly how it was thought about, Tom.
00:06:24.720 Because if you understand what I'm saying, right?
00:06:26.460 I do, yeah.
00:06:26.780 Because Texas was vulnerable.
00:06:27.940 Yeah.
00:06:28.220 Well, you know, they were going to do it anyways.
00:06:31.360 No, Texas was vulnerable.
00:06:33.520 A lot of weird things was happening in Texas.
00:06:35.580 So in a way, I'm willing to bet even people who live in Texas that were former California
00:06:40.140 people, listen, you know how many, Tom, how many people would we run into in Texas that
00:06:44.320 were from California?
00:06:45.120 How often would we run into people from California?
00:06:46.760 Oh, completely regular thing.
00:06:49.440 It was such a weird thing.
00:06:50.700 Yeah.
00:06:50.880 Oh, yeah.
00:06:51.160 We're from San Jose.
00:06:52.180 Oh, yeah.
00:06:52.620 We're from San Diego.
00:06:53.680 Oh, yeah.
00:06:54.000 We're from Northridge.
00:06:55.000 Oh, yeah.
00:06:55.280 We're from Pasadena.
00:06:56.180 Seriously.
00:06:56.660 Yeah.
00:06:56.800 Why'd you move here?
00:06:57.460 Same reason you moved here.
00:06:58.700 Totally get it.
00:06:59.320 And guess where we saw most of them?
00:07:00.900 Nevada's the other one.
00:07:01.860 That's that's.
00:07:02.140 Nevada's the other one that's grown massive.
00:07:04.140 Remember where we saw most of them?
00:07:05.600 Where?
00:07:05.720 At our schools.
00:07:06.420 Other parents.
00:07:06.980 That's right.
00:07:07.360 And they're like, oh, we brought our kids here and we're living here and we would meet
00:07:10.440 them right at our schools.
00:07:12.000 So to me, I think this redistricting thing that they did, Rob, can you flip on how many
00:07:16.440 of them?
00:07:17.380 I think it's 48 to 4, Rob.
00:07:19.380 If you can find that one chart on what it looks like, California on representative, California
00:07:26.720 representative 48 to 4.
00:07:29.780 Or, no, by tomorrow midterms, by next year's midterms, I believe, because the ratio is what
00:07:37.140 I'm looking at.
00:07:37.900 There you go.
00:07:38.460 That's the one.
00:07:39.600 That's the one.
00:07:40.140 California currently has 52 congrats, represent 43 of them are Democrats, nine of them are Republicans.
00:07:44.320 By next year, which probably 50 passed, it'll be 48 to 4.
00:07:49.700 By the way, do you know who had energy last night?
00:07:53.200 Like, I haven't seen him have energy in a while, who is kind of like, all right, we're
00:07:59.360 getting some momentum.
00:08:00.400 Do you know who is kind of a...
00:08:01.780 Newsome?
00:08:02.500 Oh, let me tell you.
00:08:03.700 Let me tell you how he sounded.
00:08:07.520 He sounded looser.
00:08:09.560 He sounded looser.
00:08:10.700 You know who that is?
00:08:11.560 Obama.
00:08:12.460 Look at this clip here from Obama.
00:08:14.160 Rob, if you want to play this.
00:08:16.080 He's smelling.
00:08:16.960 He's like, okay, maybe this is a chance for me to come back.
00:08:19.220 Maybe this is a chance where, no, but you got to realize they had a good night last
00:08:23.760 night.
00:08:24.180 Yeah.
00:08:24.940 If you're a Democrat, it was a phenomenal night for you last night.
00:08:28.240 But not necessarily totally unexpected either.
00:08:30.500 No, it was not necessarily unexpected.
00:08:32.120 You're right.
00:08:32.460 It's not like, because everybody is saying, well, now, you know, it's going to be a blue
00:08:35.940 wave for midterms.
00:08:36.880 We don't know yet.
00:08:37.980 We don't know yet.
00:08:38.880 The reality of it is Crockett's going to be kicked out in Texas.
00:08:43.380 Right.
00:08:43.840 And I believe, Tom, who is that guy's name?
00:08:46.060 Is it from Fresno, Issa, Issa...
00:08:48.580 Daryl Issa.
00:08:49.420 Daryl Issa, I think he's going to be out.
00:08:51.340 And he's a stud.
00:08:52.900 So I think he's going to be out.
00:08:55.040 I think Crockett's going to be out.
00:08:56.940 I think they're both, next move is going to be, maybe we go Senate.
00:09:00.540 Maybe we go play different roles.
00:09:02.100 So it's going to be, go ahead and play this clip, Rob.
00:09:04.160 A year ago, I remember talking to folks who would tell me, this election doesn't matter.
00:09:13.620 These are some well-educated, bright, you know, people.
00:09:17.120 They say, whoever the next president ends up being, it's not going to affect me.
00:09:24.220 That's what they would say.
00:09:27.220 If nothing else, the last nine months should have cured us of that idea.
00:09:35.000 Because the stakes are now clear.
00:09:40.480 We don't need to speculate about the dangers to our democracy.
00:09:46.420 They're here.
00:09:47.140 We don't need to wonder if harm's going to be done to vulnerable people.
00:09:55.340 You get positive right here.
00:09:56.600 So, but look at his eyes, though.
00:09:58.640 Look at his eyes, though.
00:09:59.800 Go back one second, Rob, and look at his eyes.
00:10:03.700 No, play, play.
00:10:04.740 I'll tell you exactly when to pause.
00:10:05.860 Press play.
00:10:06.440 Look at those eyes.
00:10:07.280 Look at those eyes.
00:10:08.660 You see those eyes?
00:10:10.080 You've never seen Obama's eyes like that.
00:10:11.940 They're kind of focused again.
00:10:13.180 They're focused, but I seek vengeance.
00:10:16.120 Yeah, anger.
00:10:16.620 I seek revenge and anger.
00:10:18.260 I feel like he has been humiliated.
00:10:21.700 Remember, the worst day of his life was November 4th of last year.
00:10:26.720 Oh, my gosh.
00:10:27.560 I'm not saying mom, losing family, all this stuff.
00:10:30.420 But the worst day of his life.
00:10:31.700 Political life.
00:10:32.400 Political life was November 4th of last year.
00:10:34.700 Worst day.
00:10:35.260 Because it proved he didn't have a voice.
00:10:37.340 He has gone back, recreated himself, trying to find a way to come back.
00:10:41.080 I don't know how much of that weight he's going to carry or not.
00:10:43.180 I'm just saying.
00:10:44.100 He probably had a good night last night.
00:10:45.560 He had a little bit more to be able to say.
00:10:47.240 I told you, you know, when I was right.
00:10:49.360 I think he's kind of going through that right now.
00:10:50.840 Tom?
00:10:51.160 You know what's really interesting?
00:10:52.500 You know, you have liberals and liberal headline writers.
00:10:57.500 Democrats dent Trump's coalition with three big election victories.
00:11:00.580 The Democrats had a very good night last night.
00:11:02.260 A very good night.
00:11:02.900 But I went and I looked at it and I said, well, how good?
00:11:05.360 Let's look and say how good.
00:11:06.520 And what do we have to do in response?
00:11:08.180 So I went and looked at, let's just take a look at the governors they all talked about.
00:11:11.760 Hey, we got Democrat governors in New Jersey and Virginia.
00:11:15.580 So I went in and I looked and I said, okay, Mickey versus Jack in New Jersey.
00:11:20.880 And Jack, you know, he got a lot of support from Trump, a lot of support from MAGA and some money.
00:11:27.740 So Mickey Sherrill beat him 57-42.
00:11:32.200 Okay.
00:11:33.360 So how did Trump do during the election?
00:11:36.900 Well, Trump only got 46 during the election and Kamala Harris got 52.
00:11:42.240 So 52-46.
00:11:44.040 So it's about a four point difference toward the Democrats.
00:11:47.460 Do you see what I'm talking about, Pat?
00:11:49.280 But guess what?
00:11:50.080 In New Jersey, over the last 30 years, only Chris Christie was the Republican governor.
00:11:59.200 Only Chris Christie.
00:12:00.580 And Phil Murphy's been since 2018.
00:12:03.280 So coming up on nine years.
00:12:05.380 So, okay.
00:12:06.660 So you dented Trump's coalition.
00:12:09.540 We've never had a Republican governor in New Jersey with the exception of Chris Christie over the last 32 years.
00:12:16.620 Before that, Mary Todd Whitman.
00:12:18.160 But, you know, that.
00:12:18.820 Yeah, but now you're going back.
00:12:20.400 How many presidents?
00:12:21.180 Five of them, right?
00:12:22.900 Christine Todd Whitman, 94 to 2000.
00:12:25.940 Now you go back 40 years, almost 50.
00:12:28.680 So then it went to Virginia.
00:12:30.720 I said, okay, how bad was this in Virginia?
00:12:33.800 Virginia.
00:12:34.580 Listen to these numbers.
00:12:35.280 They're almost the same.
00:12:36.120 Spanberger defeated Winsome, Winsome Sears, 57 to 43, almost the same, like within a half a point.
00:12:46.720 And during the election, it was 46 Kamala Harris and 52 Trump, almost the same.
00:12:53.200 So it's five points different, four and a half points actually, for Trump right now, which shows,
00:13:00.240 and by the way, only Glenn Youngkin, who became governor and then term limited out.
00:13:09.080 He's termed out right now, term limits.
00:13:10.600 And he came there because Terry McAuliffe tried to come back and be governor again and opened his mouth and said, parents shouldn't control their kids.
00:13:17.380 We will control them from the schools.
00:13:18.880 And he said that two weeks before the election.
00:13:20.660 And then everybody goes, wait a minute, that's that's your plan.
00:13:24.360 And they voted and Glenn Youngkin beat him by a whisker.
00:13:27.620 He was the only Republican.
00:13:29.640 And it took parents flipping out and a horrible gaffe by Terry McAuliffe to do it, because now you have to go all the way back to 2002 Mark Warner.
00:13:40.280 Only a guy named Bob McDonald for six years was a Republican governor.
00:13:44.220 So these have always been, with a couple small exceptions, Democrat governor seats going back 30 years.
00:13:53.600 So and the margin wasn't that far off from the presidential election.
00:13:59.700 So what it tells me is this is still tight, but the Republicans did not put up a good candidate in Virginia.
00:14:07.760 Not at all.
00:14:08.620 And the MAGA and president's support didn't get you over the line in New Jersey, which means, Pat, we've got work to do.
00:14:16.660 And you know what the number one thing that the voters talked about?
00:14:21.560 Echo, echo the raging Cajun.
00:14:24.000 They said it was a life affordability led by housing.
00:14:29.820 Life affordability was number one.
00:14:31.700 So we need the president's jobs to happen.
00:14:35.900 We need that one point five trillion dollars that's being spent by companies to build factories and give opportunity here in America to happen so the jobs can come out of that.
00:14:45.660 That's what we need.
00:14:46.440 And I think 26 is going to be good, but I'm not spinning it.
00:14:49.660 The Republicans have got work to do.
00:14:51.740 Conservatives have got work to do.
00:14:53.260 And we can't just sit back and say, oh, boy, I can't wait to see what happens in New York.
00:14:57.840 Everybody's going to not like that.
00:14:59.260 And then we're going to get a Republican governor.
00:15:01.300 I think that will happen.
00:15:02.320 But there's a lot of work to be done here.
00:15:04.160 But it's not this was not the bloodbath people are saying.
00:15:09.000 But no spin.
00:15:10.520 There's work to do.
00:15:11.680 Well, make a great point.
00:15:13.660 And that's that's why the president's so focused on bringing interest rates down.
00:15:18.800 And that's why it's so dangerous that the Fed is makes it cheaper to build.
00:15:21.960 That's correct.
00:15:22.460 And not only that, but cheaper to take out a mortgage.
00:15:24.500 I mean, you know, cheaper to buy things.
00:15:25.860 So that's why it's so dangerous that the Fed is so obsessed with inflation incorrectly.
00:15:30.700 Not just those points, but there's something else that influences the Fed that they completely got it wrong on.
00:15:35.640 And I don't even know if the Fed knows this.
00:15:37.060 The University of Michigan, as you know, is considered to be one of the gold standards on surveys.
00:15:41.580 And the Fed looks at this.
00:15:42.880 It's influenced by it.
00:15:44.140 So they do an they do a survey on inflation.
00:15:46.480 And the most recent University of Michigan survey on inflation showed that they see the future expectation at 4.6 percent, which is really, really high compared to even if you look at the 2.9, which is overstated.
00:15:59.620 Now, we know this country may be 50 50 Democrat Republican.
00:16:03.540 So you should survey 50 50.
00:16:05.500 And in the past, they have.
00:16:07.740 However, in the most recent survey that showed 4.6, they took 65 percent of the respondents.
00:16:13.220 Can they do that?
00:16:14.140 I guess they could do whatever they want.
00:16:15.520 65 percent was Democrat, 35 percent Republican.
00:16:19.180 But here's the key.
00:16:20.600 Republicans see inflation future expectation as 1.5.
00:16:24.920 Democrats see it as 5.1 percent.
00:16:30.280 It's a huge difference.
00:16:31.660 Right now, when you when if you were to say, OK, let's just split the difference representative where the country.
00:16:37.440 Oh, by the way, 4 percent of those Democratic respondents said inflation is going to be 30 percent.
00:16:41.980 So it really skewed the numbers higher.
00:16:43.740 So when you look at me vacationing here from Argentina.
00:16:47.420 Both those numbers are the 4.6 and the 1.5.
00:16:49.880 I think are both ridiculous.
00:16:51.060 Yeah.
00:16:51.260 Yeah.
00:16:51.540 So so when you when you look at what it would be if we took a 50 50 representation, it'd be 3.3 percent.
00:16:57.500 But then the Fed would be saying, OK, well, you know, 3.3, not that far off.
00:17:01.380 But if they see 4.6, that's why you get people being obsessed.
00:17:04.980 Inflation is too high.
00:17:05.860 Inflation is too high.
00:17:06.620 Inflation is too high.
00:17:08.040 This is what influences monetary policy and unfortunately makes it expensive for us, unduly expensive for us in the way we pay for things.
00:17:16.600 What do you think the rate would be if the Fed had no input at all?
00:17:18.720 It was just treated like the 10 year treasury.
00:17:20.140 Because I often wonder what would happen if the market was the one that determined the rate of borrowing.
00:17:25.120 Well, you know, you could make an argument for that.
00:17:28.240 We don't need a Fed.
00:17:29.220 I don't really do.
00:17:30.180 You know, if you go back to 1913 when the Fed was created is because I guess we kept getting the government kept getting tired of going to people like JP Morgan to save us and bail us out.
00:17:40.860 So it was the one causing the problem in the first place.
00:17:42.760 You could be exactly right.
00:17:44.460 But I believe that that was the purpose of why we have that.
00:17:48.980 And at times the Fed has really done a good thing for keeping stability for us.
00:17:54.560 Certainly during COVID, that was probably a good thing to have the Fed.
00:17:58.000 But they have done a lot of damage post-COVID, keeping rates too low, being complicit in causing inflation to rise further than it should have, keeping rates too high now.
00:18:08.260 I think you could track every bubble and crash to them, though, because like look at 2008.
00:18:11.460 They cut to try to rebuild from 2001 and they led to that.
00:18:14.800 So they tried and then they baby decommed me from post-08 to 2020.
00:18:18.200 Analogous to driving down the freeway but looking in the rearview mirror.
00:18:21.140 It's dangerous because they just look at old data.
00:18:23.680 They do not do a good job of looking through the windshield and seeing what's coming.
00:18:26.740 Well, I'm a bull, not a bear.
00:18:27.840 I think the future looks bright and it's got to unfold, but there's work to do.
00:18:30.760 Yep.
00:18:31.120 I'm with you as well.
00:18:32.060 2026 is around the corner.
00:18:33.460 Craziness is going on.
00:18:34.500 For some of you guys that have big plans for 2026, I will remind you, whatever you do, do not go into 2026 without a business plan.
00:18:45.640 It'll be a big mistake you're making.
