Thanks for having me.
A few of the topics that I discussed in my opening statement and my Senate confirmation are um focused on securing our supply chains.
Our economy is extremely over reliant on a supply chain system that's very brittle.
We have 90% reliance on uh uh critical minerals that are refined in China, on semiconductors that are manufactured in Taiwan.
Um we have one of the best innovation ecosystems in
The world, but that innovation ecosystem is sitting on top of a supply chain system that is very exposed to potential geopolitical disruptions.
And so helping move the needle to uh forge new partnerships with other countries to secure that is indispensable.
Uh, as well as supporting ongoing efforts by the administration to reshore as much as we can right here in the US would really go a long way to help give our building
Builders the tools that they need to do what they do best, which is build products people love that are disruptive and that help grow the American economy.
Yeah, totally.
So one of the fascinating things about the this current era and decade that we're in is um we're actually really seeing the juxtaposition between the macroeconomic effects of the policies implemented by the Trump administration, uh juxtaposed with um in incredibly powerful technological shifts, especially in artificial intelligence.
And what I mean by
That is President Trump came in and in stated a blitzkrieg of policy reforms, uh fast tracking data center permits.
Uh on day one, he rolled out an EO to unleash American energy to facilitate and support um the production, uh, to surge production capacity for energy sources like oil, oil, gas, and nuclear, um, as well.
As clean, beautiful coal, as he says.
And so the net effect of all of these different policies, combined with incredibly fast-paced progress in artificial intelligence, is actually changing the makeup of our economy.
And we're we're starting to see that in the data because for a long time, the American economy was primarily a consumption-driven economy.
Economy.
We have, you know, at different points in time for the last few decades been between 70 and 80% consumption driven.
Over two-thirds of our economy have been entirely driven by services.
