is pursuing an impeachment. Proceeding that american sought didn't make sense
so this is this: is
It's not a good thing to be censured by the house in many ways, but this

many containing intelligent sources and methods tied to the government's counter intelligence efforts, just like all right

same thing. They would say even assuming they can't prove that that Donald trump actually showed the documents to people. Do
they would still say that they were

that a foreign adversary didn't put an agent in and take a look at some of them
I can steal them. That is
situation, and you know it. She did plead guilty, which we don't expect
donald trump to do so you get a little bit of a benefit for pleading guilty
although she didn't fully accept responsibility,
and there is little awareness in our case of eight. They found that there were never really sure why she took these documents, but
found that she made phone calls to the subject of subjects of fbi,
terrorism investigations they were, never able to explain that she didn't explain it. So that was
little bit of a hint ass to some. We

Again, you know no dissemination to foreign adversary. Three years ten months in prison that

right I mean that there has been some under weighting of india. I think in washington over the years

earlier this year, india overtook china to be the most populous country

So now I gave in china's post

We know what the real motivation is here or the most immediate want. It's china, india,

is no other country in the world that
of the size or potential to counterbalance
china. No one else can compare to india in that respect. So all of this makes sense,
my concern here- is that I think the by

too far in,

like a supplicant surrender Modi, who is, after all, the biggest democratic backslider
the wild he puts on in the shade
he's also somebody has not been taking. Our stance. He's been abstaining at the united nations over russia's invasion of ukraine and the I think
more cards in the american hand than the

vision, talk about four years as an aid to get our manufacturing moving again, you have some information that republicans
what an arrogant and now what is it?
what they want america now, but we want american to know that there is actually some good news.
Relates to manufacturing, which
been, as I'm sure many america, all americans, now a tough place for us in the economy in recent years. But let's take a look:
what's actually been happening over here? So, as I mentioned, manufacturing concern
Surely this is spending our manufacturing facilities, as carter
this kind of flat lying flat lining jumped up a little bit, but never really got over. A hundred billion will remember that donald trump said he was going to make amerika great again in manufacturing. He persuade
a carrier corporation to keep a few hundred jobs at large costs of tax benefits fox.
Congress post to invest twenty billion dollars. They backed out of that no invested a small amount of money, but look what's happened now,
since the binding regulation, which is that
a hundred eighty nine billion dollars of manufacturing spending that has been in
asked an expected so far for the sheer and
for obvious you create a lot of jobs, has already created over two hundred thousand construction jobs and there
obviously the manufacturing yet to come that increased.
What you're next chart well we're
talk about the reasons and the reasons are multiple
but very heavily oriented around some of the policies that the president and the democratic leaders in congress are put in place. Let's talk
about the eye the climate bill, whatever you want to call it. So when that bill was passed,
the congressional budget office thought that about three
hundred. Ninety billion dollars of those tax credits would be used. They ve
is there estimate some two five hundred seventy billion brooking stay
it's more like seminars. Eighty billion and goldman sachs thinks it's one,
point, two trillion now. Normally, when we talk about governed
spending increasing it's a bad thing. What this is, in a sense, a good thing, because what it means is that companies are taking advantage of this bill of the tax credits they get to build. Far
more facilities than anyone really expected? When the bill was passed
and just by example. Let's take a look at battery plans, so electric vehicles need batteries,
going to try to make a lot of them here, and you can
again that, since the ira was pass, these are announcements of new battery plants that are being
all over the country, obviously good bunch them in Michigan our traditional auto center. But as you,
well down many,
the going actual into red states into indiana into kentucky tennessee south carolina
georgia texas
kansas in places like that, and so this is a this. These battery plants could produce ten,
the twelve million batteries a year for new electric vehicles, that is more than fifty percent
current auto production that could become electric
saw these battery plants, plus all the other auto facilities that'll be built as well. To take advantage of that. Where are you
there. There are also two other new policies: there are helping, dr investment,
yeah, they were really these three packages, the ira being the one that may ultimately have the biggest impact, but a couple of
the things you remember, the infrastructure bill five hundred and
two billion dollars for every
from a lot of time,
rotation, but also broadband itself
These are utility upgrades and things like that, and so that money is being
spent now and as it gets, spend obviously company
have to build facilities, create jobs and so on are produced
materials that are needed
build out all of the spending
and then lastly, you remember the chips act, which is about fifty two billion dollars of government.

social security benefit to get more that production here,
early in taiwan, and now
