1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:04,120
Speaker 1: The Amazon Prime. Washington Post ran a feel good coronavirus

2
00:00:04,120 --> 00:00:06,480
Speaker 1: story the other day. It's about a factory in Kenya

3
00:00:07,080 --> 00:00:11,080
Speaker 1: that was transformed overnight for making clothes to making thirty

4
00:00:11,160 --> 00:00:13,840
Speaker 1: thousand face masks a day. One of them had a

5
00:00:13,880 --> 00:00:16,880
Speaker 1: hole in the nose for Joe Biden to wear. Kenyan

6
00:00:16,960 --> 00:00:20,599
Speaker 1: government officials believe that they're gonna need about fifty million

7
00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:24,440
Speaker 1: masks when the virus peaks there. Unfortunately, the country doesn't

8
00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:29,040
Speaker 1: have facilities to manufacture medical equipment. Worse, they get outbid

9
00:00:29,160 --> 00:00:31,800
Speaker 1: by larger nations that have more money and more leverage

10
00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:35,800
Speaker 1: for purchases. Until now, Kenya has been relying on the

11
00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:39,880
Speaker 1: chi coms to supply their medical device needs necessities, forcing

12
00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:42,680
Speaker 1: a change, though. The governor of this small county in

13
00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:47,200
Speaker 1: Kenya concluded that they import everything and they produce nothing

14
00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:50,440
Speaker 1: despite having plenty of resources at their disposal. So in

15
00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:54,160
Speaker 1: one week they retrain four hundred factory workers to make

16
00:00:54,440 --> 00:00:58,680
Speaker 1: n ninety five masks. And there's a lesson here for generations.

17
00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:02,920
Speaker 1: The US led the world and manufacturing, including manufacturing medical devices.

18
00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:06,200
Speaker 1: Then Obamacare came along, and one of the ways Obama

19
00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:10,400
Speaker 1: decided to pay for that monstrosity was with big taxes

20
00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:14,119
Speaker 1: on medical devices. Predictably, a lot of that industry picked

21
00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:16,920
Speaker 1: up and moved its manufacturing over to China, the home

22
00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:19,800
Speaker 1: a cheap labor. Now the whole world has learned, but

23
00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:23,400
Speaker 1: relying on China for basic health care necessities that's not

24
00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:28,399
Speaker 1: so smart. It's time for a change in America as well,

25
00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:29,720
Speaker 1: and we can do it.
