Hey, everybody, to the Charlie Kirk show. Ask me anything episode. Really great questions today. We talk about why is it that red states have such terrible Republicans? It is the red state paradox. We talk about IVF as well. How should we think about in vitro fertilization? Very hot topic. We also discuss the EPA and whether or not it's a good idea to go to school to learn to golf.

Chapter 2: What is happening at the Texas Capitol?
Yes, my question is regarding the tariffs, and I'm curious to get your opinion. I work with a gentleman that's very liberal, and he thinks that everyone that's recently retired as the stock market is crashing, in his words, are suicidal and frustrated with that and doesn't think the stocks are going to bounce back as quickly.
So that is a short-term analysis. Here's what I don't want to do, and I think it's very important. I'm not going to dismiss or, let's say, rationalize financial suffering. People are hurting right now. Obviously, the market's down. I believe this will be short-lived.
I believe if you take the long-term perspective with tax cuts, no tax on tips, deregulation, economic boon, major investment, that this thing is going to grow. Remember, algorithms run most of the market. So I think you'd say to your friend, look, let's talk at the end of the year. Let's talk at the end of next year. Investing is a long-term game.
If you are investing just for a 24-hour news cycle, then you are going to be in a tough spot. Interest rates are falling, which can make homes easier to buy. But what I don't want to do is where the Democrats that have said, oh, everything's perfectly fine, everything – When stocks go down, people are going to see a material drop at that time. My rule is this.
Look at your investments once every six months. I think it's really unhealthy if you open up your Schwab or your TD Ameritrade app or your interactive brokers app every single day, unless you are a day trader. If you're a day trader, fine. But if you're a long-term investor or 401ks, do yourself a favor.
unless you have immediate and pressing liquidity needs, which is possible, unless you are in highly sophisticated trading and it's your profession. But if you are a retiree, and you do not have immediate liquidity needs, do yourself a favor. Delete that app from your phone and open it up in six months. Stocks are not meant to be a casino.
It is not meant to be DraftKings where you are betting on whether or not Josh Allen is going to do a super boost and run for a touchdown and throw a touchdown. I get that it's not ideal that the market is down a couple thousand points. I'm down. You're down. We're all invested in the long-term bullish perspective of America.
But I'm still incredibly long on America, and I think you guys should be too. Dollar cost average is a great way to invest. Do some every quarter. And don't look at your portfolio every day. It will drive you insane, and it does nobody any good. Okay. Brandon, Brandon, you are the last question. What is on your mind?
Can you hear me? Yes. How are you? Good. So my question is, in general, what advice do you have for someone trying to write a book?
