3-13-25 - 6am - What It Means To Have A Leader

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Warm Buffett is saying that Trump is thinking the best
financial decisions in America in the last fifty years. Gosh,
I wonder if the mainstream news media will cover this. Yep,
they won't.

Speaker 2 (00:14):
Well, of course they won't. So today is the fifty
first day of Trump's presidency. So yesterday was the fiftieth day,
and I didn't realize that until the end of the day.
So you think about the past fifty days and everything
that has occurred.

Speaker 3 (00:31):
No, wonder, I'm tired. There's some significance to fifty days.

Speaker 2 (00:36):
No, it just it's just it's a it's the way
you're mentioned evenly divided number.

Speaker 3 (00:41):
Okay, all right, just fifty.

Speaker 2 (00:43):
Sure, you know anybody talks about the first one hundred.

Speaker 3 (00:45):
Days because the apparently but you know.

Speaker 2 (00:48):
Everybody talks about, you know, the first one hundred days. Well,
he's crammed into one hundred day into fifty days what
most presidents cram into three hundred and sixty five days. True,
So I just thought, as kind of a thought experiment,
you know, don't question don't don't question me right off
the bat. You've already put me in a foul mood
this morning. Uh you know, so so back off Bucco.

(01:12):
So I so last night, I'm thinking, Okay, it's been
fifty days, so what has occurred? And I would put
it this way. Generally we'll do some specifics, but generally speaking,
i'd put it this way. He is already kind of
redefined American leadership. If you've listened to this program for

(01:33):
any length of time at all. Back during the Biden administration,
one of the things that I kept harping on was
just this lack of leadership, and by that I meant
we never saw the president. And quite honestly, sometimes you
can see the president too much. I'll give you a

(01:53):
quick example. So there have been some wildfires breakout in
the Carolina somewhere, and then there was a small cessna
I think it was a twin engine that crashed, and honestly,
I don't remember where, but somewhere like I don't know
Cleveland or Cincinnati, crashed into a neighborhood. I think five

(02:13):
people survived. I don't think. I don't think anybody was
killed on the ground, but I may be wrong. I
just remember seeing the photos the first responders, and there's
the tale of the plane sticking up in the air,
and there's smoke billowing, and you know.

Speaker 3 (02:28):
It's a plane crash.

Speaker 2 (02:30):
And there were two responses to those two stories. The
wildfires that I've not heard anything about since that one day,
or that plane crash that I heard since that one day.
And you know what the response was or the tagline
or the final paragraph and the story of the national news.

Speaker 3 (02:51):
And Trump was golfing.

Speaker 2 (02:53):
Really, so every time there's a car wreck on the
twenty five or the two two five or the seventy,
Trump's supposed to come up off the golf course or
step into the Oval office or walk into the Brady
briefing room and say, look, I understand that today that
you know, Michael Brown farted on the elevator, and you know,
I just wanted to say that, you know, we're gonna
make America great again. I'm making him start stop stop

(03:15):
farting on the elevator. There is there's a fine line
between too much visibility of the president and not enough.
I'll give you another example of how this leadership that
I'll get back to Biden in a minute. You know,
Trump appeared on the South Lawn with Elon Musk and

(03:36):
he had two models of Tesla vehicles. He had a
stupid cyber truck, which I think is the ugliest car
in the history of mankind. And I don't care whether
you drive one or not. I just still think it's ugly.
I'd never buy one. And then he had a Tesla
model whatever they are, is a Tesla. I think for
some reason, Tesla estix in my mind. Again, I'm not
a Tesla, guys, I don't know. And Trump talked about

(03:59):
how he was going to buy a Tesla. He's always
wanted to buy a Tesla. And he gets in. He
makes a funny comment about, oh look, they handed me notes.
I'm not Biden. I don't need any notes, and he
crumpled them up and handed them off to somebody. And
and so then he gets in the car and he
talks about, oh wow, And I think he really was
kind of shocked by the array of computers in the

(04:21):
display on the front dash of whatever car he got into.
I think he got into the reg I don't think.

Speaker 3 (04:28):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (04:28):
I don't care which car he got into. And I
remember thinking at the time that there would be at
some point talking heads that was bitch and moan and
complain about Donald Trump. Oh look, he's got Elon Musk
and and he's kissing Elon Musk, but about you know,

(04:49):
he's trying to get Tesla stocked back up where he's
trying to sell electric vehicles or whatever, blah blah blah
blah blah. And I thought, do they not remember when
Joe Biden it's exactly the same thing, And I don't remember,
And I because I don't care, I didn't take the
time to look it up. But I do distinctly remember

(05:10):
Joe Biden on the south lawn of the White House
with two versions, you know, like a like a truck
version and then a passenger car vehicle of the same brand,
and Joe Biden talking about you know this this is
the future and blah blah blah.

Speaker 3 (05:25):
And it wasn't there where he mentioned he used to
be a truck driver.

Speaker 2 (05:28):
That may be I don't know, but it may be
where he mentioned he used to be a truck driver.
But you know, the same visuals for Joe Biden are okay,
similar visuals from Joe from from Donald Trump. Oh bad bad.
Probably an ethics violation. In fact, you know, probably ought
to impeach him for doing that. So that's why it's

(05:49):
it's important to take this moment and just reflect back
on what it means to have a leader versus this leadership,
this vacuum leadership that we had for four years under
Joe Biden, because I know there were I bet at
least once a month for the past four years during

(06:11):
the Biden presidency. I pointed out that one of the
really serious problems was we just had no leadership. And
when you look back on it, you realize that we
did not have any leadership because the leader wasn't leading.
Because we now know, whether you know, I told you
not to get too excited about the autopen.

Speaker 3 (06:31):
But the one thing that the one conclusion you.

Speaker 2 (06:33):
Can draw from the autopen is, and you can also
draw from the revocation of the LNG exports liquefied natural
gas that Speaker Johnson spoke to, is that Biden really
didn't know what he was doing, and so the country
was just either rudderless or was being run by unelected

(06:56):
bureaucrats out in the departments and agencies making up all
their room, spending all of this money doing all the
stuff that Dos is now disclosing to us, or he
is being run by the former crackhead and the pseudo doctor,
doctor Jill Biden that they were making the decisions inside
the West Wing and telling the staff what they well,

(07:16):
you know, here's what the boss wants to do. And
so yes, I do believe that it is fifty days. Well,
maybe we'll do it again in one hundred days, and
screw you, dragon, I might do it in two hundred days.
But the point being that we have in fifty days.
He is absolutely redefined American leadership, not just in this

(07:39):
country but around the world. Is it is historic president
setting of what can only be described as rapid decisive governance. Now,
how will the media play that? How does the cabal
play that that? When I said specifically decisive government? The

(08:00):
first thing that popped in my head was, oh, but
he flip flops on tariffs. One day, it's tariffs on this,
the next day it's tariffs on that. Oh, then he
reverses the tariffs that he mentioned two days ago, and
then he doubles up with the tariffs that he mentioned yesterday,
or that he might mention in the next couple of days. No,
that's keeping the negotiations going. You may not like it,

(08:23):
In fact, you may not like a lot of what
Trump's doing. Right now do you know what I really think.
You don't like the leadership, the fact that he's actually
out doing something, as opposed to the stupid, demented old
fart that just you know, well, I'll get up sometime
and you know, Jill, can can you go downstairs and

(08:45):
tell him up papers to sign or whatever. The sheer
breadth of what Trump has done underscores that he is
a man.

Speaker 3 (08:58):
On a mission.

Speaker 2 (08:59):
He is, in Theodore Roosevelt's words, the man in the arena.
It's a commitment. I mean, I think he sincerely believes
that he has this commitment to restoring American greatness, and
that the one way to do that is to dismantle
the bureaucratic roadblocks that have paralyzed Washington. And if they

(09:21):
haven't paralyzed Washington, they you know, well, yes they have
paralyzed Washington. But that's what those who are regulated and
the regulators want. They want the status quo. Trump wants
virtually anything but the status quo. And every day there's
some new milestone. There's there's some new event, there's there's

(09:43):
some new action, there's another executive order, there's there's some
new meeting going on, there's some announcement of this or
that it is. You know, I have finally made a
separate email folder for all. Now it's pretty easy for

(10:04):
a government if you can do it in the private
sector too. But you can buy email addresses and you
can ask you can there's a company and in fact
you may email able to get directly from directly from iHeart.
But if you wanted the email addresses of everyone involved
in the media on air broadcasters, whether that be television

(10:26):
or radio, podcasters, news anchors, TV producers, assignment desk editors, reporters,
whatever it might be within the media, you can get
those email addresses and then you can flood their inboxes
with your stories what you want people to talk about,

(10:47):
hoping that somebody will take a bite. Well, I've gotten
one of those email lists. I get every single In fact,
I've set up now a rule in my email in
my inbox where if it has dot EOP dot gov,
which is the Executive Office of the President, or it's
got dot white House dot gov or any of the

(11:08):
iterations thereof, they go into a folder that is labeled
white House, just white House. And every single day, I
don't think there's a day goes by that I don't
get at least one or two emails either, even announcing
the schedule. You know, Dragon used to have to go
look up the schedule. Well, I every day I get

(11:32):
the email that says it may not have the detailed
schedule on it, but it will tell me that today
here's covering the pool, you know, and and that changes
every day, So you get an email every day here's
who's covering the pool. Now why is that important? Because
if I want to find the original reporting about what
went on, and let's say the president, like, like, for example,

(11:56):
today or yesterday when he was out was it ye,
I guess it was yesterday when he was doing the
Elon Musk thing. That when he's out doing that, the
pool covers that. So they have a group of people
out there, So I could go see who was covering that,
and then I can go on to my like let's
say it was ABC News, then I can go onto

(12:16):
my ABC News account and I can find where they
talked about this and find soundbites about it to use
on the program. It's just amazing to me how engaged
they are. Carolyn Levitt, the Press secretary, I don't remember
who the comms director is but whoever she works for
in the in the communications office, they understand that in

(12:39):
this media driven world, the way to get their message
out is to persistently and consistently let people know what
you're doing. It's called transparency. Now do they tell us everything,
I'm sure they don't, but they get their message out
trying to control the narrative. Now, with Biden, you didn't
need to do that because the media drove the narrative.

(13:03):
So every day we get a new milestone, you know,
securing the border, some story about revitalizing American manufacturing. You know,
some car companies moving back to Detroit, or you know,
Apple's going to build some new stuff, or TSMC is
going to bring some additional chip making to Arizona, whatever
it might be. That goes on, and then you have

(13:24):
the cabinet out there talking about slashing regulatory burdens. And yeah,
Chris Wright was on I saw Chris Wright, the Energy Secretary.
I saw him on the news this week talking about
restoring American energy dominance. So, if these first fifty days
are any indication, Trump is on track to deliver what

(13:46):
could be one of the most consequential presidencies in modern history.
Now let's go to what Lexa left before I move on,
because there's still this stuff. I want to talk about
some of these some of these events that have occurred,
her point about Warren Buffett. Everybody's in a dither about
the stock market. Well, as I have known, I watched

(14:09):
my brokerage account. But I also know that while I've
made a boatload of money on some stock, not all
stocks have done very well. But clearly some stocks have
done merely done better than others. But the trend line
has been the brokerage account has been pretty much growing.
And if you're an if you're an in an index,
if you've bought into an index fund, then you're doing

(14:31):
pretty damn well until this week. But we knew that
was going to happen because we know that the stock
market has been drinking and is drunk on all of
the stimulus money that the Biden administration threw into the economy.
So of course the stock market has been at record

(14:51):
highs and every I mean, this is not new. Now,
we're not even in correction territory yet. I think that's
a ten percent but we're not even in correction territory yet.
But of course it's going to happen because what's going
on that goes back to this precedent of rapid decisive government.

(15:17):
Everything that Trump is doing causes profiteers. The people in
the market who have got stocks that you know, they've
they've gotten an eighty percent return on, they start doing
their profit taking because they know that it can't last forever.
So of course you're going to start selling. And then
when one sells off, it's a hard mentality. Then they

(15:40):
all start selling off because they know that that generally
the indexes are going to go down. So generally speaking,
prices of the price on the stocks are generally going
to start going down. So those that are day traders
are constantly on the on the trading floor, are going
to dump stocks until they think they've hit at bottom

(16:00):
and then we'll start buying again. The hell do you
think Warren Buffett makes so much money? He you know,
he understands, he doesn't time the market. He just knows
that there will be ups and downs, and there's some
there are some companies whose fundamentals are really good, and
then there are those other companies. If you remember the
dot com dot com days that there were, there was

(16:23):
that bubble and some are just highly overvalued compared to
what they're producing. In fact, some companies, if you remember
the dot com bubble, some of them didn't produce anything.
As long as you had a dot com after your name,
everybody was just throwing money at you. So, for example,
Trump's commitment to securing Now I'm going to compare and

(16:47):
contrast this later with what Biden was doing. But right now,
let's talk about border. Trump's commitment to just securing the border.
What in the first fifty days, for four years, we
heard kream abdul Jabbar come out, flip open her notebook
to whatever one of her tab immigration was under and

(17:09):
talked about how well, you know, Republicans need to step up,
and Republicans need to do something, and we need Congress
to act. The President's hands are tied. He can't do anything.
And so millions and millions of illegal aliens just continued
to flood into this country. And we know now within
the first fifty days that illegal crossings have plummeted to

(17:31):
historic lows, falling ninety four percent from last February and
falling ninety six percent from an all time high under Biden.
So when Trump gave that speech, whenever last week or
whenever it was that joint said, was that this week?
See I can't keep tracking. That was that this week
or last week? That was last that was I'd be

(17:52):
last week because it's just now Thursday. So yeah, that
had to be last week. So when he said that, oh,
we didn't need any new laws, we just needed a
new president, it was a great line, but it was true,
absolutely true. Do you know in some sectors, you know,

(18:13):
the Border Patrol has the southern border all borders divided
into sectors. Do you know that in some sectors, crossings
have virtually ceased altogether? And so then all the journalists
like pill poor Bill Malusion from Fox News, who was
accustomed to broadcasting and all these chaotic scenes of the
border now struggle to find a single illegal.

Speaker 3 (18:36):
Alien to talk to you on camera.

Speaker 2 (18:39):
That is a fundamental transformation in the right direction.

Speaker 4 (18:44):
Hey, Michael, I tried to get into a tesla here
at the rental car and I had to look up
how to open the glove compartment. So, yes, there is
an array of computer screens in the teslast funny, you.

Speaker 2 (19:02):
Mean displays somebody may find I guess, I said display.

Speaker 3 (19:07):
I don't know. Yeah, I saw I don't.

Speaker 2 (19:12):
Know what Brandy car was. It's not one of the
standard or legacy brands, but some new car and they
were showing the inside of it. And the display was
literally from car door to car door and look to
be at least maybe eight nine inches high. And you
can you can play games, and they have it designed

(19:35):
such that if the passenger is playing, you know, a game,
that it's they angle somehow or somehow block out so
you can't see the game that's being played. And I thought,
still do they use headphones. If they're not using headphones,

(19:57):
you you hear the game being played, it's still a distraction.
Just like a kid in the back seat screaming about.

Speaker 3 (20:04):
I want I'm I'm on an ice cream tone. That's
a distraction too. Or you know a spouse, do you
know where you're going? Why didn't you turn there? That's
a distraction stop? Or my favorite with Tamra is.

Speaker 1 (20:23):
What fuck.

Speaker 3 (20:25):
There was a car in front of you? I know,
wait he had his brakes, I know, a mile and
a half in front of me.

Speaker 1 (20:32):
As So, so back.

Speaker 2 (20:35):
To this evaluation of Trump's first fifty days, it's it's
not just the enforcement and the showing that just leadership,
just you know what, this is what I'm going to do,
and and that has this ninety four to ninety six
percent drop in illegal aliens coming across the border. That

(20:57):
alone is simply amazing. No act from Congress, nothing to do. Now,
we still have to deal with the Dreamers, we have
to deal still deal with DACA. We still have to
deal with the you know, whether it's thirteen, fourteen, twenty
or one hundred million people in this country, we still
have to deal with that. But as I've always said,

(21:20):
you have to first turn the spigot off before you
can deal with the overflowing bathtubs. The only way to
stop the bathtub from overflowing is to turn the damn
water off. And that's exactly what Trump's done. It's important
to note too, in terms of leadership, that single transformation,

(21:42):
and it truly is a transfer. You have to admit
what's happened to the borders of transformation. That's not merely
the result of policy, but of political will. That's the
simple determination that I'm going to end the lawlessness that

(22:03):
had become the status quo, or I'm just going to
upend the status quo, however you want to look at it.
It's sheer political will, and that's leadership, and that's a
powerful executive. Now, I'll put a footnote here. Do I

(22:24):
think that Trump might overstep what I think the executive
ought to be doing under the Constitution. My guess is
he's probably going to at some point. But when he does,
I'll tell you that I think he has. I mean,
you can make up your own mind. You know, all
pontificate and you can decide to steal from Fox. But

(22:45):
let's go beyond just enforcement. He's also taking action in
these first fifty days to protect you and me from
the dangers associated with all that illegal immigration ake and
Riley Act. Remember, do you remember Biden trying to pronounce

(23:06):
He called her Lincoln Riley, and he only said her
name because during that State of the Union speech, all
of the Republicans over there on the to his left
on the as you're facing the well of the House,
on the right side of the house, we're all yelling
at him, say her name, Say her name, and you

(23:29):
know Lincoln Riley. The Lincoln Riley Act, signed into law
in the first fifty days, ensures that illegal aliens that
are arrested for violent crimes or theft are detained and
prevented from future tragedies like that of Lake and Riley.
And alongside that, this administration has aggressively pursued and is

(23:53):
pursuing the deportation of criminals, all these convicted killers, child blesters,
gang members, trend to rod with all the others, the terrorists,
of drug traffickers, the cartails, the list just goes.

Speaker 3 (24:04):
On and on.

Speaker 2 (24:05):
Now, I will say that while that makes for great reporting,
and it makes for great visuals, from my point of view,
it's not enough. Yes, I know that they're preparing. Uh
you can find reports all over the interwebs where they're
talking about increasing the number of beds or the facilities

(24:28):
and doing all of that.

Speaker 3 (24:29):
And that's great.

Speaker 2 (24:30):
I understand they need that, and they may be limited
by the number of facilities and the number of beds
they have right now, because once you arrest something, you
cannot immediately deport them. That's just not practical. I know
many people that are you know, conservatives, think, well, you know,
arrest them, will just all the rest right back to
Mexico City or to croc us or wherever. Well, you

(24:50):
just can't do that. You've got to you got to
process them. You got to you know, you got to
fingerprint them and get all their data into a into
an immigration database, will know who they are, so if
they ever try to come across again, we can kick
them right back out or prevent them from coming in.
So you've got to process them and then get them

(25:10):
out the thing that bugs me about this the removal process,
is that they just don't have enough manpower to go
get all of these dirt bags to begin with. And
then even if they had the man power, they're still
fighting people like the dumbass mayors of Chicago, Boston, and

(25:30):
Denver who refuse to cooperate with ICE and CBP. And
I want you to think about that, because what's Trump
done on that? And I say Trump, but also credit
goes to the Republican Congress. They flip the narrative. They
flip the narrative because does Mike Johnston. I'm asking a

(25:52):
rhetorical question here, so don't go off the deep end.
Does Mike Johnston really support crime to does he really
support allowing trend to Arragua or other criminals child molestors
to run loose in Denver?

Speaker 3 (26:09):
Well, the answer is yes, of course he does.

Speaker 2 (26:13):
Now a really tough thing for us to think about,
is that answer that.

Speaker 3 (26:21):
I just gave.

Speaker 2 (26:23):
Because while he may testify that, oh, I you know, no,
we we we you know, we just we just can't
do these things. But no, I'm not. I'm not in
favor of criminals running loose. Yeah you are, Yes, you are,
because if you weren't, you would make that a priority.
You would stop all you would stop all the climate

(26:44):
the climate crap, you would stop all of the transportation crap,
the bus lanes and the bike lanes and you know,
the sidewalks and all the the uh Jersey barriers everywhere,
and all of the ballards that you put everywhere trying
to slow traffic. And you know they've got they've got
a new program in Denver about you know, they were
to go to zero deaths too. In terms of you know,

(27:06):
pedestrian accidents. Well, that's not going to happen. That's just
not realistic. Cars and peeds really cannot coexist very well.
People that drive cars are stupid. People that walk across
the streets are stupid, and we all do it. So
go back to like just getting the Lincoln Riley X sign. Now,

(27:28):
why was he able to accomplish that because he helped
elect Republicans to the House and the Senate, where they
got albeit thin, nonetheless they got majorities. Now in the Senate,
that's going to prove to be a challenge because they
don't have the sixty they need to overcome to in

(27:49):
vote cloture to stop debates so they can actually so
they can vote on something where you would only need,
you know, fifty one votes. But nonetheless that of major
improvement trade policy. That's a tough one. But it has
returned to a doctrine of America first, and it's it's reversing,

(28:13):
and it hasn't completely done it yet, but it's reversing
this destructive globalist approach that all of us predecessors, including
my old boss had. The reimposition of a twenty five
percent tariff on steel and aluminum imports that actually does
protect critical industries from unfair foreign competition. Now, might it

(28:35):
increase temporarily the prices of steel and aluminum, It might,
But when your price goes up and people start to
back off on the purchase, then whether it's a foreign
manufacturer or it's a domestic manufacturer that's gone overseas, they're
going to figure out, Hey, how can I bring these

(28:55):
prices back there? Oh you know what, I could move
my manufacturer bring back to the US. So those tariffs.
While you can argue both sides, I can argue both
sides of tariffs till the cows come home. But the
broader plan for reciprocal trade has done something that nobody
really likes to talk about. You know it, You intuitively

(29:20):
know this. It is signaled to the world that this
era of America being taken advantage of is over.

Speaker 3 (29:29):
Now.

Speaker 2 (29:29):
Most Americans don't understand that the Europeans impose these huge
tariffs on our cars, or that Japan does the same,
or China does this, or that China dumps cheap goods
into this country. We kind of know them, but we
don't fully understand it. Well, Trump's just saying it's done.
For decades, foreign nations reap the benefits of our wealth

(29:54):
while giving very little, if anything, in return, and Trump
sees that imbalance and just simply says no more.

Speaker 1 (30:01):
Yet again, Colorado gems are destroying our state. A bill
just passed out of committee that would restrict landlords from
being able to use credit scores in deciding whether to
rent to tenants. This basically hog ties them in renting

(30:22):
to four tenants and then it takes so long to
get a bad tenant evicted, way to ruin Colorado businesses
yet again.

Speaker 2 (30:32):
So this whole, this review has led me to this
conclusion that, well, maybe maybe more than that, but a
conclusion for now, and that is that this leadership has
at least restored confidence in our economic future despite the
headwinds that we face. And you've got to be realistic

(30:55):
that you can't come off four years of drunken spending,
well not four years decades of waste, fraud and abuse
that DOGE is exposing and expect that as you start
to clean up that mess, that that's not going to
have an economic impact. And particularly if all you do,

(31:17):
if all you do is put your your headphones on
and all you listen to is the cabal talking about
all these awful things that DOGE is doing, and how
government workers are losing their jobs, and then all the
lies about social security Medicare and social security Medicare and
Medicaid that somehow the world is coming to an end.

(31:40):
This is what we wanted to change directions. This is
changing directions. But think about what He's done in the
in these first fifty days, billions of dollars in new
investments which will not today but in the future, which
will reignite our industrial and our technological sectors. Apple five

(32:06):
hundred billion dollars to create tens of thousands of American jobs. TSMC,
the Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company, one hundred billion dollars for
domestic chip manufacturing. Now that alone. I know that there
were sixty billion dollars previously by the Biden administration, but

(32:26):
you know that sixty billion dollars has been tied up
and the construction project outside Phoenix has been fraught with problems.
And I think TSMC realizes that you take government money,
you got a problem. It comes with too many restrictions.
I think that's one reason why TSMC has pledged this
additional one hundred billion dollars. Because they see a lower

(32:53):
tax rate, They see us as the largest consumer of chips.
They also see the threat from China to Taiwan, So
why not have redundancy in this country much more secure
than being in Taiwan. Then you have all of the
artificial intelligence infrastructure which don't closs over that's going to

(33:18):
have implications for things that we're not thinking about. If
AI really does continue to take off and you have
to have all these data centers, well guess what. Solar
and wind are not going to power those AI data centers.
You need cheap, reliable energy, which we know they're already

(33:39):
looking at nuclear, and we've got oil and natural gas.
So that's going to have all these other peripheral effects too.
Just artificial intelligence alone, that's always been dominated by overseas
firm firms, and that's now poised for a five hundred
billion dollar in fusion a half a trillion dollar in

(33:59):
fuel usion into this economy. And those aren't headlines. That's
a fundamental shift in our economic trajectory, a fundamental shift
in fifty days. Yeah, but there's a couple more things.
I want to continue this after the hour because manufacturing,

(34:20):
I think most people thought manufacturing was in an irreversible decline.
Let's look at the numbers.
