That would be your socialist, 108 00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:45,640 Speaker 2: communists and Marxist masquerading as the Democratic Party. And it 109 00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:49,040 Speaker 2: didn't take long to hear exactly what the President's plans were. 110 00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:54,000 Speaker 2: After the Republicans delivered, the President said, I'm signing this sucker. 111 00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:59,480 Speaker 2: Friday afternoon at the White House five o'clock Eastern Yes, 112 00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:03,040 Speaker 2: and effort to delay Thursday's vote. The Majority leader, by 113 00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:05,200 Speaker 2: the way, didn't want there to be a fourth of 114 00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:09,400 Speaker 2: July celebration. Hakim Jeffries, that democrat from New York, spoke 115 00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:12,960 Speaker 2: for eight hours and forty four minutes, breaking a record 116 00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:17,680 Speaker 2: for the longest House floor speech. Jeffrey decried what he said, 117 00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:21,080 Speaker 2: we're terrible cuts to things like Medicaid and yes, we 118 00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:24,120 Speaker 2: did cut of legal immigrants from abusing the program. He 119 00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:27,320 Speaker 2: also said this was the worst legislation and it was 120 00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:31,799 Speaker 2: a quote crime scene from the floor of the House. Meanwhile, 121 00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:35,839 Speaker 2: Donald Trump went to Iowa to showcase next year's celebration 122 00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:40,520 Speaker 2: of the nation's two hundred and fiftieth birthday. So there's 123 00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:44,239 Speaker 2: two different Americas right now, the one where democrats hate 124 00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:47,640 Speaker 2: you getting more of your money, and there are others 125 00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:50,680 Speaker 2: on the other side that are celebrating the largest tax 126 00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:54,440 Speaker 2: break the American population in my lifetime. 127 00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:55,400 Speaker 1: Has ever seen. 128 00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:58,719 Speaker 2: The present making it clear that it is his job 129 00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:02,040 Speaker 2: to do whatever it takes to get our economy rolling again. 130 00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:05,520 Speaker 2: And when the Republicans had their press conference and the 131 00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:08,640 Speaker 2: Leader of the House, the Speaker, came to the podium. 132 00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:10,800 Speaker 1: Here's what he had to say. 133 00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:13,360 Speaker 5: This is the vote tally card. We're gonna frame this one, 134 00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:16,640 Speaker 5: okay to eighteen two fourteen. Listen, I'm not going to 135 00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:18,320 Speaker 5: give you a long speech. A lot has been said today, 136 00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:21,440 Speaker 5: and these people are exhausted. A couple of us quite 137 00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:23,400 Speaker 5: literally haven't slept in two days. So I'm a danger 138 00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:25,760 Speaker 5: to myself and others right now. I'm not gonna I'm 139 00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:27,440 Speaker 5: not gonna speak off the cup. I'll just say this. 140 00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:29,320 Speaker 5: I mean, many of you have asked me this question 141 00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:31,160 Speaker 5: in the hall of the last couple of days. But 142 00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:33,480 Speaker 5: when it looked like that we might actually deliver this thing, 143 00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:36,200 Speaker 5: particularly this morning, how did you know? I mean, what 144 00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:39,840 Speaker 5: what kept you going? Why did you did? Why did 145 00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:42,920 Speaker 5: you think this was possible? You guys made an audacious plan. 146 00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:47,760 Speaker 5: You brought the most comprehensive, complicated piece of legislation, probably 147 00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:49,520 Speaker 5: arguably in the top two or three in the history 148 00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:51,960 Speaker 5: of the Congress, with the smallest margin in US history, 149 00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:54,120 Speaker 5: which we had for big chunk of the first hundred days. 150 00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:56,760 Speaker 5: And you put this audacious timeline. You said you're going 151 00:07:56,800 --> 00:07:58,440 Speaker 5: to pass it out of the House by Memorial Day. 152 00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:00,480 Speaker 5: I mean, some of you openly laugh, did me when 153 00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:02,120 Speaker 5: I said that back in early February, and then we 154 00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:04,080 Speaker 5: said we would get it done by July fourth. We 155 00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:06,400 Speaker 5: beat Memorial Day by four days, and we got this 156 00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:10,920 Speaker 5: one done a day early. I just want to point out, Okay, 157 00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:18,880 Speaker 5: I schedule and under wage. So the question was, I mean, like, 158 00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:20,600 Speaker 5: why why did you do that? Why did you think 159 00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:23,200 Speaker 5: that was possible? Because it just it sums up somebod 160 00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:25,280 Speaker 5: up with one word. It's belief. Okay. 161 00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:28,040 Speaker 1: We had a vision for what we wanted to do 162 00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:28,600 Speaker 1: as a group. 163 00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:31,960 Speaker 5: We believed in the election cycle last fall that we 164 00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:34,360 Speaker 5: were going to be given this great blessing of unified government, 165 00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:36,120 Speaker 5: that we would have the White House and the Senate 166 00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:38,839 Speaker 5: and the House aligned and alignment unified government. And we 167 00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:41,200 Speaker 5: did not want to waste that opportunity because we understand 168 00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:43,679 Speaker 5: the history that that comes along with it, the opportunity 169 00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:45,960 Speaker 5: that we can do for the country, and we believe 170 00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:47,679 Speaker 5: that we would have that chance. And then I believe 171 00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:49,559 Speaker 5: in the people that are standing here behind me. I 172 00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:52,120 Speaker 5: believe in this group, every single one of them individually. 173 00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:54,520 Speaker 5: Some of them are more fun to deal with than others, 174 00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:59,280 Speaker 5: you know. I mean that with the greatest level of respect. 175 00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:01,880 Speaker 5: I love every single one of my colleagues, you know, 176 00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:03,720 Speaker 5: even the ones I gotta spend the more time with, right, 177 00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:07,240 Speaker 5: because everybody's here, their motive is right, their heart is right. 178 00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:09,280 Speaker 5: They're trying to do right for their constituents. They're trying 179 00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:11,079 Speaker 5: to serve the greatest nation in the history of the 180 00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:13,120 Speaker 5: world that we're going to celebrate tomorrow. We don't take 181 00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:15,199 Speaker 5: that lightly. I know their hearts, and I know what 182 00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:16,720 Speaker 5: their skill sets are, and I know what they bring 183 00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:19,360 Speaker 5: to the table, and I get up every day excited 184 00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:21,640 Speaker 5: because I know that each of them are going to 185 00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:23,440 Speaker 5: bring that to the table, and they're going to serve 186 00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:26,839 Speaker 5: their constituents. You could not have a greater group of 187 00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:29,000 Speaker 5: public servants. And the people stand in this room right here, 188 00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:31,719 Speaker 5: they will give their all for this country. And man, 189 00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:33,920 Speaker 5: that's what the Framers intended when they put this thing 190 00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:36,120 Speaker 5: together two hundred and forty nine years ago. This is 191 00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:36,760 Speaker 5: what it was about. 192 00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:37,400 Speaker 1: So I believe. 193 00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:40,040 Speaker 5: I believed in this vision. I believed in the group. 194 00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:43,760 Speaker 1: I believe in America. I believe we have the RAI stations. 195 00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:54,000 Speaker 5: I'm gonna say this very simply, and everybody here would 196 00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:55,840 Speaker 5: articulate it in their own way. We had a tough 197 00:09:55,920 --> 00:09:58,520 Speaker 5: four years Before this last election cycle, America was in 198 00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:01,040 Speaker 5: We're in deep trouble, and we knew that if we won, 199 00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:03,400 Speaker 5: and we believed we would, we knew that if we 200 00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:06,280 Speaker 5: got unified government, we'd have to quite literally fix every 201 00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:10,320 Speaker 5: area of public policy. Everything was an absolute disaster under 202 00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:14,480 Speaker 5: the Biden Harris radical woke, progressive Democrat regime. And we 203 00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:18,000 Speaker 5: took the best effort that we could in one big, 204 00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:20,800 Speaker 5: beautiful bill to fix as much of it as we could. 205 00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:23,560 Speaker 5: And I am so grateful to God that we got 206 00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:32,200 Speaker 5: that done as we did because of the dedication. Yeah, lastly, 207 00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:35,439 Speaker 5: it's no secret I do believe in God. I believe 208 00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:38,160 Speaker 5: in that motto that I've referenced in the fore speech 209 00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:40,199 Speaker 5: of a while ago. I believe that that is what 210 00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:42,000 Speaker 5: has made our nation the greatest in the history of 211 00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:43,960 Speaker 5: the world. And some people shake their heads and they 212 00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:46,240 Speaker 5: think that's old fashioned or something that is a fact. 213 00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:49,120 Speaker 5: When the Framers put this together, they stepped out in faith. 214 00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:51,880 Speaker 5: They did something that no nation had ever done before. 215 00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:55,880 Speaker 5: The great statesman philosopher G. K. Chesterson, a great Britain 216 00:10:55,880 --> 00:10:57,719 Speaker 5: set America is the only nation in the world it 217 00:10:57,840 --> 00:10:59,959 Speaker 5: was founded upon a creed, and he said it's list 218 00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:03,640 Speaker 5: with almost theological lucidity or clarity. In the nation's birth certificate, 219 00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:05,559 Speaker 5: the Declaration of Independence, we all these trees to be 220 00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:08,959 Speaker 5: self but evident that we recognize, we boldly proclaim the 221 00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:11,839 Speaker 5: self evident truth that our rights do not come from 222 00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:14,320 Speaker 5: the government. They come from God himself. He's the one 223 00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:22,959 Speaker 5: that gave us our rights. Let's go it, Abraham Lincoln 224 00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:25,760 Speaker 5: said in the Gettysburg Address, we are dedicated to this proposition, 225 00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:28,400 Speaker 5: to one nation under God, a government of the people, 226 00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:30,679 Speaker 5: by the people, for the people, shall not perish from 227 00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:32,840 Speaker 5: the earth. This is an experiment. It's only two hundred 228 00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:35,120 Speaker 5: and forty nine years. Oh that's not a long span 229 00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:37,880 Speaker 5: of time in human history. It's just a real blip 230 00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:40,640 Speaker 5: on the whole scale of human history. It is up 231 00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:42,679 Speaker 5: to us to save it. It's up to the duly 232 00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:45,440 Speaker 5: elected representatives of the people to come here and represent 233 00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:48,040 Speaker 5: and it's up to every single one of us, of 234 00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:49,200 Speaker 5: the people, by the people, for. 235 00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:50,040 Speaker 1: The people, all of us. 236 00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:52,120 Speaker 5: So you've got to be engaged, and we got to 237 00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:54,480 Speaker 5: pass this along in the next generation. Reagan reminded us 238 00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:56,280 Speaker 5: freedom's not inherited in the bloodstream. 239 00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:58,360 Speaker 1: It's got to be protected. It's got to be bought for. 240 00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:00,959 Speaker 5: It's got to be taught to the generation so that 241 00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:03,480 Speaker 5: they will have the same liberty, opportunity, and security that 242 00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:05,520 Speaker 5: we have all known and too often ticket for granted. 243 00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:06,960 Speaker 5: So I just want to say, we're going to get 244 00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:08,480 Speaker 5: to the main event here. We're about to sign this 245 00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:09,960 Speaker 5: bill and get it over to the White House. 246 00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:16,880 Speaker 2: Okay, Speaker Johnson, making it clear that the Republican Party, 247 00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:18,959 Speaker 2: as slim as the majority is in the House, is 248 00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:22,959 Speaker 2: working together to deliver on all of these important issues. 249 00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:25,439 Speaker 2: As for the President of United States of America, he 250 00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:28,520 Speaker 2: couldn't be happier to deliver to the American people on 251 00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:33,439 Speaker 2: the fourth of July a massive bill that protects families 252 00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:36,400 Speaker 2: and allows you to keep more of your money in 253 00:12:36,520 --> 00:12:39,439 Speaker 2: your own pocket. Now, story number two, it's amazing what 254 00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:42,760 Speaker 2: happens when you get a real president in the White House. 255 00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:46,760 Speaker 2: With President Donald Trump in office, the US economy is 256 00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:51,680 Speaker 2: continuing to revitalize and grow. It's no longer the fake 257 00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:55,400 Speaker 2: numbers that we know we're given out by Joe Biden, 258 00:12:55,520 --> 00:12:58,199 Speaker 2: where they just lied and made up hundreds of thousands 259 00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:01,319 Speaker 2: of jobs that never existed. Yeah, we found out that 260 00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:04,800 Speaker 2: they created nearly a million jobs it didn't exist, just 261 00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:07,520 Speaker 2: to try to get them re elected. Remember when they 262 00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:11,040 Speaker 2: were talking about the build back better days, Yeah, and 263 00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:15,160 Speaker 2: bid nomics. Well it was a disaster, but under Donald Trump. 264 00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:19,640 Speaker 2: The June job report showed another massive win for the 265 00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:26,120 Speaker 2: American people. It's once again exceeding expectations big time. Now, 266 00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:28,679 Speaker 2: the best part of all with all of this news 267 00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:31,480 Speaker 2: is how the media is having to deal with it. 268 00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:34,679 Speaker 2: Fox News dealt with it the appropriate way by giving 269 00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:37,360 Speaker 2: you good news. In fact, they made it pretty short, 270 00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:40,800 Speaker 2: just twenty six seconds when the numbers came out about 271 00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:41,480 Speaker 2: job growth. 272 00:13:41,679 --> 00:13:43,160 Speaker 1: Take a listen, it's a. 273 00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:46,240 Speaker 7: Fox News alert. The June jobs report just released and 274 00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:48,480 Speaker 7: it shows the US added one hundred and forty seven 275 00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:53,240 Speaker 7: thousand jobs last month. That is stronger than expected. Revisions 276 00:13:53,280 --> 00:13:57,360 Speaker 7: to April and May reports also show sixteen thousand more 277 00:13:57,480 --> 00:14:02,000 Speaker 7: jobs created than previously reported, the unemployment rate unexpectedly falling 278 00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:03,840 Speaker 7: to four point one percent. 279 00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:05,280 Speaker 8: So a strong report. 280 00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:07,600 Speaker 7: Guys, that's good news heading into this holiday weekend. 281 00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:11,079 Speaker 2: Good news right heading into the weekend. Great way of 282 00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:13,800 Speaker 2: putting it. But what did they actually say at other 283 00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:16,400 Speaker 2: networks when they had to deal with the reality that 284 00:14:16,640 --> 00:14:20,000 Speaker 2: US job growth continued at a steady pace last month, 285 00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:23,160 Speaker 2: surprising many of the doom and gloom economists right that 286 00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:27,160 Speaker 2: it actually predicted rooting against America and the president a 287 00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:30,480 Speaker 2: slow down in hiring amid what they said was well 288 00:14:30,680 --> 00:14:35,240 Speaker 2: Donald Trump's insane trade war and his fiscal policy. 289 00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:38,000 Speaker 1: Well, here's how CNN had to report it to you. 290 00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:42,400 Speaker 1: Enjoy it. You expected some of this, but this is 291 00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:44,640 Speaker 1: better than expected, Yeah, Sarah, it is. 292 00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:47,760 Speaker 4: Look, this jobs market is like the energizer bunny. Every 293 00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:50,720 Speaker 4: single time we expected to run out of esteem, it 294 00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:52,880 Speaker 4: just keeps going and going. So these new numbers of 295 00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:56,000 Speaker 4: the US economy added one hundred and forty seven thousand 296 00:14:56,160 --> 00:14:59,680 Speaker 4: jobs in June. That was well ahead of the expectation 297 00:14:59,760 --> 00:15:02,440 Speaker 4: of a about one hundred and eighteen thousand, well ahead 298 00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:04,280 Speaker 4: of some whispers that we heard on Wall Street of 299 00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:07,520 Speaker 4: a sub one hundred thousand number. So this is indeed 300 00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:11,680 Speaker 4: beating expectations. We were also expecting a slowdown, we did 301 00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:14,400 Speaker 4: not get that. This is basically in line with May, 302 00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:15,880 Speaker 4: which was revised higher. 303 00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:16,880 Speaker 1: It's also good news. 304 00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:19,320 Speaker 4: The unemployment rate was expected to go up. 305 00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:20,360 Speaker 1: It didn't. 306 00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:23,720 Speaker 4: It went down to four point one percent. That is 307 00:15:23,800 --> 00:15:28,800 Speaker 4: a very healthy number. This is still relatively historically low. 308 00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:30,920 Speaker 4: And again it's below the four point three percent that 309 00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:31,720 Speaker 4: we had expected. 310 00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:33,120 Speaker 1: You just got to laugh. 311 00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:35,880 Speaker 2: Even CNN, in their own words, says there quote, we 312 00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:37,480 Speaker 2: were expecting a slow down. 313 00:15:37,920 --> 00:15:39,360 Speaker 1: We did not get that. 314 00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:44,720 Speaker 2: These numbers are what we got without passing the big 315 00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:46,000 Speaker 2: beautiful bill. 316 00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:48,760 Speaker 1: So what does that mean? You could expect the numbers 317 00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:49,560 Speaker 1: to get even better. 318 00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:49,920 Speaker 4: Now. 319 00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:53,360 Speaker 2: CNN's John Bergman was paining to tell his audience the 320 00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:56,640 Speaker 2: predictions of the job losses right, which means people are 321 00:15:56,680 --> 00:16:00,680 Speaker 2: actually out of work. That's terrible for families, and due 322 00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:03,720 Speaker 2: to terror policy, Well, they were wrong. Here's how he 323 00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:05,000 Speaker 2: described it again. 324 00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:08,840 Speaker 3: Since you know, March and before, there were predictions that 325 00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:11,800 Speaker 3: the terroriffs, granted a lot of them have been pulled back, 326 00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:14,640 Speaker 3: most of them pulled back. But all that terrorff policy 327 00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:17,680 Speaker 3: was going to lead, perhaps to inflation, would lead to 328 00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:19,880 Speaker 3: job losses, predictions of doom. 329 00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:22,560 Speaker 1: That doom just hasn't happened yet. It hasn't happened. 330 00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:24,040 Speaker 8: And you know, John, I've been doing a lot of 331 00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:26,680 Speaker 8: reporting on this topic, and what I'm hearing is that 332 00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:30,280 Speaker 8: for the last few years, really since COVID, but even before, 333 00:16:30,760 --> 00:16:34,600 Speaker 8: companies have realized that their supply chains can be interrupted 334 00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:38,040 Speaker 8: for lots of reasons, for a virus, for a geopolitical event, 335 00:16:38,160 --> 00:16:40,920 Speaker 8: for a war, for a climate event. And so they've 336 00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:44,800 Speaker 8: been using technology to really streamline things. They've been getting 337 00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:47,840 Speaker 8: their systems in place, and there's just a lot more 338 00:16:47,880 --> 00:16:50,440 Speaker 8: efficiency in the system now. In some ways, I think 339 00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:54,240 Speaker 8: this is a triumph of business and how business has 340 00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:54,960 Speaker 8: been optimizing. 341 00:16:55,040 --> 00:16:55,160 Speaker 1: Now. 342 00:16:55,240 --> 00:16:58,280 Speaker 8: That said, when we think about who's going to do 343 00:16:58,360 --> 00:17:00,800 Speaker 8: well in this period, it's going to be big businesses. 344 00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:03,160 Speaker 8: I am hearing that there's more pressure on small and 345 00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:05,720 Speaker 8: mid sized businesses that will be far less able to 346 00:17:05,800 --> 00:17:09,399 Speaker 8: cope with whatever tariff inflationary impact we do see. That 347 00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:12,760 Speaker 8: concerns me because small and mid sized businesses are what 348 00:17:12,960 --> 00:17:15,639 Speaker 8: fuels a lot of communities around the country. If you 349 00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:18,280 Speaker 8: see them going under because they can't take even a 350 00:17:18,359 --> 00:17:20,560 Speaker 8: little bit of tariff pressure that could. 351 00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:21,479 Speaker 5: Have a job's impact. 352 00:17:21,600 --> 00:17:25,000 Speaker 8: So again, optimistic right now, but it's you know, there 353 00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:26,320 Speaker 8: are some issues on the horizon. 354 00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:27,480 Speaker 1: Still, don't worry. 355 00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:29,560 Speaker 2: We still have your doom and gloom for you that 356 00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:32,359 Speaker 2: you know it could be just around the corner. Even 357 00:17:32,440 --> 00:17:35,840 Speaker 2: though we got this one completely wrong. You gotta wonder 358 00:17:36,080 --> 00:17:38,320 Speaker 2: how much they really hate America when this is the 359 00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:39,840 Speaker 2: type of commentary you get. 360 00:17:40,280 --> 00:17:43,680 Speaker 1: I mean this type of commentary. It's truly incredible. 361 00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:46,239 Speaker 2: You hear it, and they're really not happy that more 362 00:17:46,280 --> 00:17:48,560 Speaker 2: Americans are at work now than we've seen in a 363 00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:49,520 Speaker 2: long time. 364 00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:50,520 Speaker 1: Don't worry. 365 00:17:50,760 --> 00:17:53,840 Speaker 2: We've got President Donald Trump in the White House, Republicans 366 00:17:53,880 --> 00:17:56,119 Speaker 2: in charge in the Senate and the House, and that 367 00:17:56,280 --> 00:17:57,960 Speaker 2: should make everyone happy. 368 00:17:58,119 --> 00:18:00,720 Speaker 6: Thank you for listening to the forty seven More Update 369 00:18:00,920 --> 00:18:04,920 Speaker 6: with Ben Ferguson.
