00:00So, what kind of leader? Who should we vote for in 2028 who will continue what you've already started?
00:08Maybe you can give us a hint, Mr. President.
00:11Well, number one, somebody who understands economics.
00:16Understands economics.
00:17That's the first thing. That's the life of the person who understands how to create jobs,
