I had only interviewed two other people and immediately leaked to the press and i had a lot young age, they worked hard and reporter called them, they were more afraid to say i dont know than anything else, so i got a good kick out of it.

He was a he was an addict. He was saying he had not touched drugs or alcohol for a year. He gets to see his family again. He gets to see his child again. And hes now up to 22 an hour and hes so busy working he hasnt had the chance to relapse. Its stories like that that need to be part of our lexicon. Its part of the joy that conomic growth is moral. Because it helps and solves so many problems and particularly in our earlier slides. Where itch a where i have this absolute fixation on Retirement Security and our discussion of growing the economy and labor force participation. And technology. And incentives. Bringing that package all together so we keep our promises around Social Security and medicare. But we have the first pillar, that we are living in right now.

Supply. Question is how quickly they could get full capacity back. We are hearing from people they are seeing less optimistic, this could take weeks if not months. The second biggest question i feel is important for your show, this is a country that has the thirdbiggest military budget. It has a u. S. Built missileDefense System. Happenedow this attack and was able to infiltrate Saudi Security measures. Is how otheron producers might react. They are not in any big rush to up production. The saudis have reserved not just in the kingdom and japan. We are talking about the fact that this narrative, saudi arabia, and its partners need to cut the defendant prices.
