11:05 pm
really goes up tiny up and down tiny bits. we're stagnant. basically. >> we keep on falling down. >> we keep on falling down. >> stagnancy is not good. >> stagnancy is not good. >> we're falling down. >> we're falling down. >> black holes are. you need to fill. in those black holes. >> about yourself. >> about yourself. >> well, i'm not sure. >> well, i'm not sure. >> you're. >> you're. >> allowed to call them black holes anymore, josh, but the biggest problem. >> we have. >> we have. >> is our chancellor doesn't really understand economic growth. the idea of economic. paul cox, comedian, does. i have some understanding, and i feel like by comparison, i'm an expert to chancellor reeves. i mean, you add capital into an economy to make it grow. and you do that by putting money in people's pockets, by inducing confidence in some words, using words like capital. >> someone's worked. >> someone's worked. >> for a bank in some departments. what you don't do is you don't raise taxes, you don't go in and you tax business , don't go in and you tax business, tax people tax farmers, tax old people, and then give all that money to things that don't put money to things that don't put money in people's pockets, like some of the net zero stuff, for instance. so the gloom is
