00:00possible. Let's leave tariffs to the side for now. We've spoke about it enough and I'm sure we're
00:04going to be talking about it more this week. Let's talk very quickly about Fed dissent. We have a
00:09Federal Reserve meeting this week. They're going to keep interest rates on hold. All markets suggest

01:43president at the time wanted them to do and you're ultimately going to pay for it as we've said in
01:50questions.
