Well, one of the things that we've seen and we've studied over the last couple of weeks is that when there's a government shutdown, then the things that we economists call the soft data, the survey data tend to really, really tank because everyone's in a terrible mood because Washington can't work and the government shut down and they're worried about how bad it's going to be.
but the hard data are what do people actually do with their lives with their pocketbooks and so for example we just saw the best black friday ever you know people went out getting ready for the christmas holiday shopping season feeling very very optimistic about the economy as we go into next year don't forget that all the people who have no tax on tips no tax on social security uh who are going to be able to deduct the interest on their car loan if they buy a car all those things are kicking in big time as we go into next year that's why secretary besant and
I are both very confident that we're going to be looking at growth in the foreign numbers for the first half of next year.
Next year, don't forget that all the people who have no tax on tips, no tax on Social Security, who are going to be able to deduct the interest on their car loan if they buy a car, all those things are kicking in big time as we go into that.
What I saw in that room was one of the most troubling things I've seen in my time in public service.
Under the DoD manual for abiding by the laws of armed conflict, the specific example given of an impermissible action is attacking a shipwreck.
Any American who sees the video that I saw will see the United States military attacking shipwrecked sailors.
People will someday see this video and they will see that that video shows, if you don't have the broader context, an attack on shipwrecked sailors.
Where's it up?
Yeah.
Excuse me.
I just wanted to say to Oli about her client.
And I think I was trying to send Twitter notices to like, what's the girl, Menendez, Alicia Menendez and Navarro.
Oh, I think that's a very false scenario right there.
I think everybody realizes this is a Schumer shutdown, that this is a politically driven shutdown driven by AOC and the squad and the liberal Marxist portion of the Democrat Party.
I think that's truly true.
what's going on here.
That's because and then none of their arguments make sense whether trying to shut, you know, to shut it down.
It just doesn't make any sense to anybody.
So I would just discount that poll altogether.
