What I'm calling is for sensible regulation.

Sure.

We're about to unleash nuclear power in the United States.

Trump signed an executive order.

And the NRC, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, I think needs to get readjusted.

It shouldn't take, I mean, 10 years to build a nuclear power plant in America.

So deregulation, unleashing the energy supplies that we have here and the mineral supplies.

We haven't talked about tariffs if you want to go down that rabbit hole, but tariffs are a part of, not exclusively, but a part of reindustrializing the United States.

Where they end up going, nobody knows.

But I can tell you that there is a rush for a lot of folks to start doing stuff back in America.

Well, keep in mind, the US government was a lot smaller back then than it is today.

And let's go to, you know, just to pivot back for a second to the reindustrialization of the U.S.

and why one of the many reasons why Trump won.

I think globalization over the last 30 years has benefited the elites living in coastal cities, you know, San Francisco, you know, Palo Alto, Silicon Valley, New York, Wall Street, etc.,

But what it's done is it's hollowed out the industrial capacity of the middle of the country and people, there was dignity and still is in being a welder, in working in a factory.

But we decided that we would get it out of the United States, send it off to China.

Hey, I've got to deal with quarterly earning cycles.

I'm the CEO.

And if it's out of sight out of mind and what you have is a group of people in the United States that you know Once had jobs and real dignity and now they've got nothing another being fed fentanyl only to die there's a desperation and a lack of hope and I think We need to reindustrialize the United States I mean is textile manufacturing coming back probably not but there's a whole bunch of stuff that can still come back and

So looking for hope and optimism on Memorial Day, we will at some point.
