reason, he's felt compelled in this decision last fall. november and summer and he walked out of the press conference and give guidance and great cuts for coming the financial decision. by doing that, question of which benefits the top 20% we are back to the bottom 50%. the rates have had to stay higher for longer. the igniting economic growth and reseller reading when it could have been slowing, cutting
3:00 am
rates. i would predict it won't slow down inflation, i think it will be an economic wobble. >> a quarter of negative growth or something? >> or a slowdown, and economic slowdown. administration has tricks up their sleeve november 6, november 7100, 150 billion for the retention text and start getting mailed out. >> student loan forgiveness and a variety of others in the
3:01 am
economy. >> back to the younger voters turning on president biden so i've seen the numbers and under 35 cohorts are attached to the democratic party and a big portion of that and the other thing philadelphia fed has been measuring credit card delinquencies. in the income growth in the credit card delinquency at 3500. >> there's a difference in the tax policy proposed.

the trump presidency as crude adaptation. think about departures and how to reaffirm, talk to us. >> let's go back to where we were in 1980. reagan human inflation, the great place and that soviet union. trump cayman in the have not been strong and they both went this, they both focused on biggest external threats.

long-term and we have keep coming back to china. we think about the chinese currency and my firm shows the chinese currency on the model is now valued in a big internal evaluation very similar to 2011, 2012 in the currency is in three different equilibrium's. you have 99% of your citizens to present chance.

that leaked out yesterday. the wall street group would be very happy with that. i think the wall street group was always going to come back. what i find more interesting is the venture-capital cohort who is supporting president trump and what they say in las vegas, new shooter. this is a completely new group. is being socialized in silicon valley it is okay to be a republican, it's okay to support donald trump. i found the comments on why he's coming out in favor of donald trump, a lot of it was anti- biden sentiment. it's pervasive anti-semitism. but a lot of these policies, there are two candidates now.
3:30 am
there is a poor choice. that's a kind of jump the line i guess, over here. you mentioned you think if you can get real gdp potential gdp with most people's estimates is not much more than the previous administration. hasn't changed all that much maybe a shade here or there. 1.83 is a pretty big chunk. where do you see the big difference is coming from? cook said think the global economy is actually picking up.
3:31 am
if you look -- between trump and biden if you look at the economic data for biden the big jump is in structures. which is the manufacturing. mining, which is the energy industry was practically nil. you can get consumer excuse me, i think you can get consumer sentiment back. i think it can be export. i think it could be very broad based and a lot of it driven. just in the energy industry they could get a regulatory certainty. some of my clients for some of the biggest private families who are manufacturers in the u.s. i always ask them from trump won
3:32 am
.0 what was more important three of the tax cuts or deregulation? the tax cuts were nice but that regulatory certainty is what enabled us to do the massive cap acts. we would show up at the obama epa on a friday and we would see things from window guidance on a chemical facility. can we do this? what you think of that? there will be on site at the facility on monday. i think it can be across the board. i think once we can get inflation down, interest rates down then i think we can have proper housing. >> i hope you will indulge me on a bit more of a personal question. you live for many years in a london. you looked in the northeast united states they are back in her home state of south carolina.
3:33 am
one reaction i've heard from a number of folks on the political right is that in the wake of donald trump's experience in his criminal trial a lot of people come to believe that if you are someone who holds conservative political conviction it is no longer very wise for you if you or someone of means in particular someone who might be a target to reside in a deep blue municipality or state. someone who is a lifelong brooklyn resident, that is a dismaying thought. i wonder how you think about that. when you think and speak to other like-minded folks people who want to enter the public life, are you getting that sense as well? that you have to migrate given the changing climate? the enemy of the state.
3:34 am
the state is in a state government has maybe come to the forefront. its attackers, regulation, ease of doing business. again, regulatory certainty. this migration from the blue states to the red states is one of the largest migrations the post- civil war migration by american blacks out of the south. this migration back to red states started before there was a notion of the enemy of the state. i think there is a risk premium that's being created. it's being created on tax insurgency. i have one investment in
3:35 am
massachusetts. massachusetts put in eight tax and excess tax above a certain level. massachusetts is my biggest tax bill last year. i have one investment there. i think this idea of economic freedom i think it's economic freedom. i don't think we been degenerated yet to this idea of the enemy of the state, i hope we won't. i'm part of the republican party. i studied theory a lot and part of the republican party that is think the best revenge is the one on november 5 let's not set off tit-for-tat chain reaction traditionally, conservatives are the adults in the room. let's stay that way.
3:36 am
it is alarming. it is alarming on both sides to see the breakdown in the federal system. whether it was during trump with sanctuary cities we are not going to enforce the law. in the state of texas feel as though they have to enforce their own border. we've got to get back to this idea that the federal system does work. >> everyone please join me in thanking him.
