01:25. But when I start thinking about most of the Republican Party and Congress, it's hard not to get salty. But he is dealing with that. You know, you take Lindsey Graham, I mean there's also a reality principle. If he doesn't hold on to the Senate and the House in the midterm elections, this is over, and the best chance that we've had to break this globalist order, which I think is Trump's intention, will go down with Trump if we lose the midterm elections. And I'm very active politically on the ground, very active in Michigan and nationally. I can tell you how difficult it is to find candidates who think like Trump, or even if we want to take Trump as a person out, to find candidates who genuinely understand how the world works, that we are up against a globalist warmongering financial parasitical system and that the United States has been their puppet for most of the post-war period. And that we have to break that. To find candidates like that is very difficult let me tell you what's even more difficult getting them elected I have said on a numbers of occasions and believe me I'm on the ground granularly in terms of this we are two or three election cycles away from having a congress which is even close to what I believe Donald Trump and JD Vance wants. So he's also going to have to make some compromises because he's at least got to keep a Republican Congress so that he doesn't get impeached, you know, the minute they come back into session in 2027. That's why he plays golf with Lindsey Graham. That's why he throws out certain sops to these other people. He has to do a calculus. He's got to decide between do I get a purist or do I get somebody who say in a swing state might actually win? It's a very difficult political calculus that he's got to deal with while he's doing everything else.
3:36. But I think the key thing is in terms of that and I'm going back to what Alex said in terms of all this foreign policy stuff, all of this foreign policy stuff is bringing immediate economic impact into the United States by the whole process of foreign investment and a tariff policies. I'll give you an example. There was a headline in the Detroit Free Press on Sunday that the Canadian trade unions are hysterical and we're right over the border from Canada here in Detroit where I am that the Canadian UAW, or whatever it's called, Unifor, I think it's hysterical because they're losing 3,000 jobs because Stellantis is bringing them back to the United States. And we'll be picking up jobs in Illinois. We'll be picking up jobs in Michigan, and that's a result of Trump's tariffs and his foreign policy. Look at the investment that's coming into the United States. South Korea, $5 billion dollars to rebuild the Philadelphia shipyards. Japan, nuclear power Investments into the United States and these are not sweatshop jobs, building cheap garments like we used to have in the South. These are . . . these are high paying, skilled jobs where one income can raise a family. If you listen to the whole cabinet meeting yesterday, I was especially struck by the labor secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer because she is very focused, and by the way I believe she used to be a Democrat, another one who has come over or was at least appointed at . . . she wasn't a Democrat, she was appointed at the recommendation of the teamsters that's who really pushed her for her position. But they have a program entitled "Make America Skilled Again," because when you start bringing back manufacturing and bringing back a lot of these highly skilled jobs, which we have lost over the past 30 to 40 years, what's the immediate problem you run into. You don't have a skilled workforce. We gutted our workforce. We have Uber drivers. We have coders. We have stock brokers, and we don't have much in between. In fact, we have a 700,000 person immediate shortfall in terms of skilled workers. So they have a program to create 1 million skilled apprenticeships within a year, and they've already filled 250,000 of those. Again, these are the kind of jobs where you're not coming out of college with $300,000 in debt and then you can't find a job. These are the kind of jobs where you come out of college, no debt, and you start at $70,000, 80,000 a year with benefits. This is a complete reshaping of the US economy. And his foreign deals are extremely important because what Trump is actually doing is grabbing foreign investment outside of the control of the International Monetary Fund, the Bank for International Settlements, the City of London, Wall Street, and so on. He's creating a stream of income from other countries directly into the productive sector here in the United States. The people who don't like him, say, like the Wall Street Journal, the other day had a piece that was titled "Make Money, Not War," and it treats this as bad, that people make money. And Trump is engaged in all of this kind of stuff. Of course, people are going to make money, but what are they making money doing? Are they making money trading in derivatives?
