It is impossible to have an economic deal without a peace deal. The for an economic deal is that Ukrainian leadership wants a peace deal.
Well, it was supposed to be, but President Zelensky came into the Oval on Friday, There were three things that were going to be done. There was going to be a press conference. There was going to be a private lunch with 16 of us. And as you can see from Dan Scavino's post on his ex-account, we were already set up to sign the deal. So it's unclear now.
President Zelensky has thrown off the sequencing.
This is what we're doing. We're reprivatizing it.
Here, play the clip. Private sector will not be crowded out anymore. All the jobs created by the Biden, not all, but the 70, 80, 5% of the jobs created by the Biden administration were government jobs, government adjacent. They crowded out the private sector. The government interest rates spiked.
I would just point out, interest rates are down five weeks in a row on the tenure since President Trump took office. And mortgage rates are down. We're going to get that down. I was sitting next to, I noticed you're going to have Governor Youngkin later. I was sitting next to him on Friday. And I said, Governor, how do you feel about these layoffs? in Northern Virginia.
And he said, Scott, I think there's, I think he told me there's something like 350,000 private sector job openings in Virginia. State of Virginia has a portal. So there are plenty of private sector jobs and those are good paying. And we're going to reprivatize this economy like President Trump promised.
We're just trying to reprivatize it.

A partnership between Ukraine and the US that involves strategic minerals, energy and state-owned enterprises where we set up a partnership and we are only looking forward. It is a win-win. President Trump created this idea himself. It is a win-win. We make money if the Ukrainian people make money.
And I believe that with the United States of America, our know-how, our businesses willing to come in and provide capital, that we can accelerate the Ukrainian growth trajectory and take in substantial monies for the U.S. taxpayers and get the Ukrainian economy on a growth, great growth trajectory.
Brett, I've got to say that President Trump wants to make the penny extinct, and that's part of the cost savings, cost of it. Three cents to make one cent. Even in Washington, that math doesn't work. So it's going soon. It's going soon. Okay.
Tom, please do. Please do. Say what's on your mind. It's a holiday.
You know, the innies are in a way, you know, in a prison. So that's to me, you know, the question is, like, how are these people, the human aspect of, you know, who they are, how is that going to eventually change? It has to come out, this need for connection, this need for love, regardless of even the Audi and any sharing that feeling.
Apple News Today · U.S. health care is broken at every level. Can it be fixed? · 13 Dec 2024

When people go through those experiences, it's one of the most fraught moments of their lives. Like they or somebody they love is probably experiencing a medical emergency. And on top of that, they're entering this, you know, Kafka-esque bureaucratic nightmare.
There's this ongoing blame game within the healthcare industry that makes it just really confusing to understand, like, why this problem exists in the first place.
The bottom line is, like, you can look across a bunch of different metrics, but one consistent finding across them, when you compare the United States to healthcare in other wealthy countries, what you always find is that the U.S. pays more money for healthcare, and on average, you know, taken collectively, gets worse outcomes.
That's been the pattern of health care politics, is people get really mad about it, but then either nothing happens or somebody tries to change something and then voters punish them. We saw this like back in the 90s with the Clinton health reform effort. We even saw it with Democrats in 2008 and 2010.
There's not just one blueprint for doing it. A bunch of different countries do it in a bunch of different ways, but they share that sort of underlying understanding or goal that we are going to cover everybody and provide some level of baseline medical coverage and services to anybody, no matter what. their ability to pay.
But the United States kind of stands alone as the wealthy country that has not done that. Like there are all kinds of ideas about what to do to try to make healthcare better, but getting everybody to agree on what to prioritize and where to focus is really hard when you've got this finger pointing within the healthcare industry about what the problem really is.
Bye-bye.
