0:00:00.160 --> 0:00:04.120
<v Speaker 1>The Amazon Prime. Washington Post ran a feel good coronavirus

0:00:04.120 --> 0:00:06.480
<v Speaker 1>story the other day. It's about a factory in Kenya

0:00:07.080 --> 0:00:11.080
<v Speaker 1>that was transformed overnight for making clothes to making thirty

0:00:11.160 --> 0:00:13.840
<v Speaker 1>thousand face masks a day. One of them had a

0:00:13.880 --> 0:00:16.880
<v Speaker 1>hole in the nose for Joe Biden to wear. Kenyan

0:00:16.960 --> 0:00:20.599
<v Speaker 1>government officials believe that they're gonna need about fifty million

0:00:20.640 --> 0:00:24.440
<v Speaker 1>masks when the virus peaks there. Unfortunately, the country doesn't

0:00:24.480 --> 0:00:29.040
<v Speaker 1>have facilities to manufacture medical equipment. Worse, they get outbid

0:00:29.160 --> 0:00:31.800
<v Speaker 1>by larger nations that have more money and more leverage

0:00:31.840 --> 0:00:35.800
<v Speaker 1>for purchases. Until now, Kenya has been relying on the

0:00:35.880 --> 0:00:39.880
<v Speaker 1>chi coms to supply their medical device needs necessities, forcing

0:00:39.920 --> 0:00:42.680
<v Speaker 1>a change, though. The governor of this small county in

0:00:42.840 --> 0:00:47.200
<v Speaker 1>Kenya concluded that they import everything and they produce nothing

0:00:47.320 --> 0:00:50.440
<v Speaker 1>despite having plenty of resources at their disposal. So in

0:00:50.640 --> 0:00:54.160
<v Speaker 1>one week they retrain four hundred factory workers to make

0:00:54.440 --> 0:00:58.680
<v Speaker 1>n ninety five masks. And there's a lesson here for generations.

0:00:58.720 --> 0:01:02.920
<v Speaker 1>The US led the world and manufacturing, including manufacturing medical devices.

0:01:03.360 --> 0:01:06.200
<v Speaker 1>Then Obamacare came along, and one of the ways Obama

0:01:06.240 --> 0:01:10.400
<v Speaker 1>decided to pay for that monstrosity was with big taxes

0:01:10.520 --> 0:01:14.119
<v Speaker 1>on medical devices. Predictably, a lot of that industry picked

0:01:14.200 --> 0:01:16.920
<v Speaker 1>up and moved its manufacturing over to China, the home

0:01:16.959 --> 0:01:19.800
<v Speaker 1>a cheap labor. Now the whole world has learned, but

0:01:19.880 --> 0:01:23.400
<v Speaker 1>relying on China for basic health care necessities that's not

0:01:23.600 --> 0:01:28.399
<v Speaker 1>so smart. It's time for a change in America as well,

0:01:28.760 --> 0:01:29.720
<v Speaker 1>and we can do it.
