It was, it was very, very difficult.
And I could only imagine all that could have been better
if just that aspect wasn't there.
And then we were dropping off star links to people
and we were, you know, sourcing these things
to get the communications back up.
So it's, you know, I agree with you.
That is something that could have been,
and you're talking about, you know, broadband.
Why are we talking about broadband?
Like, that's like so 80s, isn't it?
Isn't that like so 80s?
Like, what, there's not, we're digging holes
and putting in why, I mean, I don't, I don't get that.
You know, I think we're beyond that now.
And so, you know, I think when we're talking
about infrastructure, I think updating with technology
is gonna be a big deal about it.
And I mean, come on, I co-wrote the book
to how to fight artificial intelligence.
But there's the set, we started out in that book saying,
hey, there's, AI is good and it can be bad, you know?
And let's talk about both.
And we did talk about both.
So it was very, you know, as far as, you know,
now we've got this public fund that can earn money
that Trump has set up.
I think that's a deal.
The sovereign wealth, yeah, the sovereign wealth fund.
The sovereign wealth fund,
I think that's gonna help us out a lot.
I think a lot of money that's going to certain places
that don't have a return on investment,
I think it's gonna be thrown into stuff like that.
And that's really long-term for the United States.
So he's got a lot of balls in the air right now.
And I think we would be foolish to think
that some of those balls won't get missed
because they will, they will.
But, you know, are we going to accomplish,
at the end of the day,
are we gonna put more points on the board than we lose?
And I think we do, I think we will.
And I think nationally, I think the American people
have the intestinal fortitude to go through those pains
because it's unsustainable.
I mean, our country, we're gonna bankrupt ourselves
and then everything that,
we're gonna lose everything anyway.
So why not, you know, stop the bleeding now,
take a little bit of pain, get it right,
and then we can move forward, you know,
with some sort of confidence.
Yeah, yeah.
This is a good moment for us to segue
because you mentioned the word pain.
And I think there's a lot of pain
that people are experiencing at some of these,
at some of the exposures of what's been happening.
I wanna take a quick break and then we'll come back
and we'll pick up on that
because you have such good insight and advice
about how to handle the emotions
that people are going through.
Very quickly, I wanna remind my listeners
that one of the things that we do here
is we stay in touch with you
and we work with America First partners.
And one of the ways to find that is to go to my website,
marygracemedia.com, marygracemedia.com.
You can click on the shopping tab
and you can get connected to a lot of our partners there.
One of our favorite partners is our friends
over at griddownchowdown.com.
They have freeze dried beef.
And the scene that we just described
where people had no power, no internet,
really hardly any way to do anything.
This is a perfect example
of when you would want something like this.
This is freeze dried, it's not jerky.
You just add clean water and you can cook real beef.
And this is American.
It's American grown, it's American harvested.
It's American processed.
And when you buy it,
you're helping to save American farmland.
