Let's look at no pun intended here as you hear what I'm about to say.

Let's look at looking through the current dynamic.

Right.

And I say that because the Federal Reserve and in fact, Michelle Bowman today, a member of the board of governors, said we are still looking through the energy spike.

We are looking through the inflation caused by the war in Iran.

Tara Sinclair, not a Fed governor, but an esteemed economist in the nation's capital, said we cannot look through this stuff.

And I guess my question is, how do we know what to look through and what is not doable?

What can we take out of this as we try to figure out where the economy is going?

Right, right.

So, Sadiq, you remember how Chair Powell always used to say, you know, we need more data.

It depends on what the data is going to say.

What more do they need than PCE at 3.8 and GDP at 1.6, you know?

Oh, man.

Things could be fine or they could be terrible.
