I don't know if you heard that in a session, Mike, but I don't think anybody thinks this is going away. But I've just not talked to anybody that thinks the tariffs are going away. I don't think they're going away. I think they're the answer is what is the methodology to do it? 301B, whatever. There's like I think Mike, you mentioned earlier and we've talked about it over and over again on the show, there's three to five different methods that they can go do that are in varying degrees of complexity, distribution, economy and sales and growth segment. But in here he said estimated effective U.S. tariff rate for 26 is 9% across the board. Right. So I don't know if you heard that in a session, Mike, but I don't think anybody thinks this is going away. The question is when will we get the response. But I think no matter how you slice it, we're going to go into next year we're going to be having tariffs across the board.
