I just want to unpack, you know, preemptively is the talking points you will get from him.

Number one, oh, we're doing a great job because we're the fourth biggest economy in the world.

That is true statistically.

We're the fourth biggest economy for two reasons.

One, because of the dominant technology sector, which I'm proud of and we want to be leading in that, but it generates a huge amount of revenue but very few jobs.

That's why we have the fourth biggest economy side by side with having the highest unemployment rate and the highest poverty rate.

Secondly, that number for fourth biggest economy, that includes the government.

That includes just the size of the economy.

They've massively, you know, they've doubled the budget of the state of California in the last 10 years.

They just bloated the government.

That's why we have the highest taxes in the country for the worst results.

So that fourth biggest economy, that's not the private sector apart from technology.

That's the government.

So just remember that.

And then when he talks about how we're dominant, he uses that word all the time.

You listen to him.

We're dominant in manufacturing, dominant in this and that.

Yeah.

What he means is we've got the biggest.

But of course, we've got the biggest because we're the biggest state with the highest population and the largest number of most things.
