WEBVTT - And, I’m Talking To You

0:00:01.720 --> 0:00:04.840
<v Speaker 1>So the International Monetary Fund just announced California it's the

0:00:04.920 --> 0:00:08.760
<v Speaker 1>fourth largest economy in the world four point one trillion

0:00:08.840 --> 0:00:13.960
<v Speaker 1>dollar GDP gross domestic product, larger than any other nation

0:00:14.360 --> 0:00:18.319
<v Speaker 1>outside the United States, China, and Germany. It's a point

0:00:18.320 --> 0:00:20.920
<v Speaker 1>of pride, and it's a point of privilege to represent

0:00:21.160 --> 0:00:23.599
<v Speaker 1>a state not only with the largest economy in the

0:00:23.680 --> 0:00:27.440
<v Speaker 1>United States of America, but a state that represents the

0:00:27.520 --> 0:00:30.360
<v Speaker 1>tentpole of the US economy in terms of job creation

0:00:30.440 --> 0:00:33.960
<v Speaker 1>and innovation and entrepreneurialism. We're also the number one manufacturing

0:00:34.000 --> 0:00:37.240
<v Speaker 1>state in the United States of America and enjoy more

0:00:37.320 --> 0:00:41.640
<v Speaker 1>two way trade and direct foreign investment than any other state.

0:00:41.680 --> 0:00:45.840
<v Speaker 1>And so a consequence of these Trump tariffs, the consequence

0:00:45.880 --> 0:00:49.600
<v Speaker 1>of all the uncertainty that we're now seeing all around

0:00:49.680 --> 0:00:52.680
<v Speaker 1>the world because of these unilateral tariffs that have been

0:00:52.720 --> 0:00:55.840
<v Speaker 1>imposed by the Trump administration have an outsized role on

0:00:55.920 --> 0:00:59.400
<v Speaker 1>the state of California. We're already seen it significantly at

0:00:59.440 --> 0:01:02.680
<v Speaker 1>the ports of Long Beach and the ports of La

0:01:02.880 --> 0:01:06.080
<v Speaker 1>Forty percent four zero percent of the goods movement in

0:01:06.080 --> 0:01:10.520
<v Speaker 1>the United States of America goes through those ports of entry.

0:01:10.959 --> 0:01:13.960
<v Speaker 1>Of course, all of us, though, are feeling the anxiety,

0:01:14.000 --> 0:01:17.160
<v Speaker 1>the uncertainty that's marked this moment. You have your four

0:01:17.200 --> 0:01:21.080
<v Speaker 1>to one k, you're seeing your life savings depleted, and

0:01:21.160 --> 0:01:24.640
<v Speaker 1>we're also the scene depletion of trust, the coin of

0:01:24.640 --> 0:01:28.199
<v Speaker 1>the realm trust around the world. Decades and decades, eighty

0:01:28.319 --> 0:01:32.840
<v Speaker 1>years of developing relationships with allies around the globe. We're

0:01:32.880 --> 0:01:37.160
<v Speaker 1>seeing that trust frey in real time. When I started

0:01:37.160 --> 0:01:39.720
<v Speaker 1>this podcast, I said, I wanted to listen directly to you,

0:01:39.760 --> 0:01:41.840
<v Speaker 1>and I also want to talk a little bit to

0:01:42.000 --> 0:01:44.840
<v Speaker 1>you about my own experience. I started as a small

0:01:44.880 --> 0:01:47.200
<v Speaker 1>business person. I started right out of college with one

0:01:47.720 --> 0:01:50.720
<v Speaker 1>part time employee, Pat Kelly, and I built a business,

0:01:51.000 --> 0:01:54.880
<v Speaker 1>a few dozen small businesses. At peak, we had over

0:01:54.920 --> 0:01:57.440
<v Speaker 1>seven hundred employees. I say that not to impress you,

0:01:57.440 --> 0:02:00.960
<v Speaker 1>but to impress upon you my passion for entrepreneurialism and

0:02:01.000 --> 0:02:05.560
<v Speaker 1>an emotional attachment I have to taking those risks in

0:02:05.600 --> 0:02:08.960
<v Speaker 1>those early days and the risks and uncertainty that come

0:02:09.440 --> 0:02:13.079
<v Speaker 1>today as those businesses mature. And I imagine there are

0:02:13.120 --> 0:02:17.200
<v Speaker 1>many people listening that feel the same way. Folks that

0:02:17.240 --> 0:02:20.320
<v Speaker 1>have put everything on the line, that took that risk,

0:02:20.440 --> 0:02:23.000
<v Speaker 1>that got that loan, that may even leverage their own

0:02:23.040 --> 0:02:26.160
<v Speaker 1>home to make a go at it. That may have

0:02:26.600 --> 0:02:29.040
<v Speaker 1>convinced a family member to come on board, that had

0:02:29.040 --> 0:02:32.240
<v Speaker 1>a great idea and just made it happen and it

0:02:32.320 --> 0:02:35.520
<v Speaker 1>broke through. Or those of you may be struggling with

0:02:35.639 --> 0:02:38.000
<v Speaker 1>an idea that you thought would be great and you

0:02:38.040 --> 0:02:39.840
<v Speaker 1>felt you were coming out the other side, but all

0:02:39.840 --> 0:02:43.560
<v Speaker 1>of a sudden, all this new uncertainty has painted a

0:02:43.600 --> 0:02:47.079
<v Speaker 1>picture where you just you've lost a little step, You've

0:02:47.080 --> 0:02:49.480
<v Speaker 1>lost a little confidence, and so I'd love to hear

0:02:49.560 --> 0:02:52.480
<v Speaker 1>directly from you. I'd love to hear how it's impacting you.

0:02:53.000 --> 0:02:55.359

<v Speaker 1>we could put a human face on this conversation. What

<v Speaker 1>does it mean? What does it mean to you as
