- 21:08Casey
- 21:09Cochran
- 21:09was
- 21:09on
- 21:09the

- 21:10Either
- 21:11that
- 21:11it
- 21:11was

- 21:13We
- 21:14had
- 21:15someone
- 21:15on
- 21:15the
- 21:15show
- 21:16who
- 21:16was
- 21:17talking
- 21:17about
- 21:18the
- 21:18amount
- 21:18of
- 21:19cancellations
- 21:19that
- 21:20people
- 21:20had,
- 21:20and
- 21:21it
- 21:21was
- 21:21kind
- 21:21of
- 21:21like
- 21:21a.
- 21:22It
- 21:22was
- 21:22a
- 21:22campground
- 21:22owner.
- 21:23She
- 21:23was
- 21:23one
- 21:23of

- 21:24she
- 21:24was
- 21:24just
- 21:24talking

- 21:25And
- 21:25it's.
- 21:25The
- 21:25perception,
- 21:26I
- 21:26think,
- 21:26is
- 21:27different
- 21:27as
- 21:27a
- 21:27campground
- 21:28owner
- 21:28or
- 21:28a
- 21:28business
- 21:29owner
- 21:29of
- 21:30the
- 21:30volume
- 21:30of
- 21:31perhaps
- 21:31negativity
- 21:32or
- 21:33cancellations
- 21:33or
- 21:34whatever
- 21:34we're
- 21:34talking
- 21:34about
- 21:35that
- 21:35exists
- 21:35out
- 21:35there.
- 21:36Because
- 21:37you're
- 21:37in
- 21:37your
- 21:37own
- 21:37bubble,
- 21:38right?

- 21:40wise.
- 21:41And
- 21:41Harvard
- 21:41did
- 21:42studies
- 21:42on
- 21:42this,
- 21:42right?
- 21:43Especially
- 21:43for
- 21:43negative
- 21:43reviews.
- 21:44But
- 21:44when
- 21:44you
- 21:45hear
- 21:45something
- 21:46bad,
- 21:46your
- 21:47mood
- 21:47goes
- 21:47down
- 21:48and
- 21:48stays
- 21:48down
- 21:49much
- 21:49longer
- 21:50and
- 21:50then
- 21:50comes
- 21:51back
- 21:51up
- 21:51versus
- 21:51hearing
- 21:52something
- 21:52Good.
- 21:52And
- 21:52then
- 21:52you
- 21:53kind
- 21:53of
- 21:53go
- 21:53right
- 21:53back
- 21:54to

- 21:55place.
- 21:55Right.
- 21:56And
- 21:57so
- 21:57I'm
- 21:57wondering,
- 21:57like,
- 21:58I'm

- 39:27Trump.
- 39:27Right.
- 39:27Whether
- 39:28that
- 39:28was
- 39:28productive.
- 39:29Who
- 39:29knows
- 39:30whether
- 39:30it
- 39:30moved
- 39:31the
- 39:31needle.
- 39:31I
- 39:31don't
- 39:32know,
- 39:32but
- 39:32at
- 39:32least
- 39:33it
- 39:33was
- 39:33productive.
- 39:33And
- 39:34then
- 39:34I
- 39:34know
- 39:34Trudeau
- 39:35went
- 39:35down
- 39:35there.
- 39:36That's
- 39:36a
- 39:36whole
- 39:36different
- 39:36dynamic
- 39:37we
- 39:37won't
- 39:37get
- 39:37into
- 39:37with
- 39:38what's
- 39:38happening
- 39:38all
- 39:38there.
- 39:40But
- 39:41I,
- 39:41like,
- 39:41I
- 39:42heard
- 39:42that
- 39:43they
- 39:43delayed
- 39:43the
- 39:43tariffs,
- 39:44but
- 39:44then
- 39:44I
- 39:44heard,
- 39:44as
- 39:45of
- 39:45yesterday,
- 39:46I
- 39:46think
- 39:46they
- 39:46said
- 39:47that
- 39:47February
- 39:481st
- 39:48was
- 39:48probably
- 39:49when
- 39:49they
- 39:49were
- 39:49going
- 39:49to
- 39:49put
- 39:49them
- 39:50into
- 39:50place.
- 39:51Yeah.
- 39:51And
- 39:52then
- 39:52there's
- 39:52the
- 39:52whole
- 39:52dynamic
- 39:53of
- 39:53like
- 39:53we're
- 39:53not
- 39:53going
- 39:53to
- 39:54get
- 39:54into
- 39:54an
- 39:54economy
- 39:54discussion
- 39:55here,
- 39:55but
- 39:55the
- 39:56oil.
- 39:56And
- 39:56they've,
- 39:57he's
- 39:57declared
- 39:58an
- 39:58emergency
- 39:58to
- 39:58increase
- 39:59oil
- 39:59production
- 39:59in
- 39:59the
- 39:59United
- 39:59States,
- 40:00which
- 40:00obviously
- 40:00impacts
- 40:01how
- 40:01much
- 40:01they
- 40:01may
- 40:02or
- 40:02may
- 40:02not
- 40:02import
- 40:02from
- 40:02Alberta.
- 40:04So
- 40:05like
- 40:05there
- 40:05is
- 40:05a
- 40:05lot
- 40:06of
- 40:06uncertainty,
- 40:07but
- 40:07I
- 40:07think
- 40:07that
- 40:08regardless
- 40:08of
- 40:08what
- 40:08happens
- 40:09there,
- 40:09I
- 40:09think
- 40:09we're
- 40:10still
- 40:10dealing
- 40:10with
- 40:10an
- 40:11economy
- 40:11that
- 40:12is
- 40:13going
- 40:13to
- 40:13be
- 40:13rough
- 40:13in
- 40:132025
- 40:14for
- 40:14a
- 40:14lot
- 40:14of
- 40:15people.
- 40:16So
- 40:17let's
- 40:17assume
- 40:17for
- 40:17a
- 40:18second
- 40:18that
- 40:18maybe
- 40:19we're
- 40:19only
- 40:19flat
- 40:20to
- 40:20down
- 40:20marginally
- 40:21in
- 40:21the
- 40:21RV
- 40:22industry
- 40:22in
- 40:222025.
- 40:24How
- 40:25does
- 40:25that
- 40:25impact
- 40:25the
- 40:25industry?
- 40:27If
- 40:28we,
- 40:28well,
- 40:29I
- 40:29think
- 40:29if
- 40:29we're
- 40:29flatter

- 43:47RV
- 43:47dealers
- 43:47too.
- 43:49I

- 43:49there's
- 43:49a
- 43:49danger
- 43:50in

- 43:52doing
- 43:52this
- 43:53to
- 43:53be
- 43:53clear,
- 43:53but
- 43:54putting
- 43:54too
- 43:54much
- 43:54positive
- 43:56spin
- 43:57or
- 43:57wording
- 43:58into
- 43:58something
- 43:59that
- 44:01perhaps
- 44:02misleads
- 44:02people
- 44:03who
- 44:03don't
- 44:03pay
- 44:03attention
- 44:04as
- 44:04much
- 44:04as
- 44:04we
- 44:04do

- 44:42Nobody's
- 44:42knocking
- 44:42it,
- 44:43but

- 46:41certain
- 46:41things
- 46:42that
- 46:42will
- 46:42strive

- 46:54there
- 46:54are
- 46:54glamping
- 46:55resorts

- 47:02nice
- 47:02experience.
- 47:03But
- 47:03I

- 47:19as
- 47:20outdoor
- 47:20would
- 47:20stay
- 47:21strong.
- 47:21But
- 47:22certain
- 47:22things
- 47:22will
- 47:23be
- 47:23stronger
- 47:23than
- 47:24they
