00:00I think the best way to think about our current political climate in the United States is we are
00:04led by a transcendent political athlete. Donald Trump is the most effective and capable political
00:15athlete we have ever seen. Why? He understands how to connect at the one-on-one level. He
00:23understands retail politics better than, frankly, anybody. He has an affability that's very
00:30disarming. And yet, because of his business acumen, he has a way of negotiating that I think is just
00:38very hard for the learned non-business person to compete with. You know, there's a very famous
00:45Mike Tyson quote, everybody's got a plan until they get punched in the face. I think the president
00:51has an incredible ability to negotiate. Howard Lutnick has an incredible ability to negotiate.
00:57Scott Besson has an ability to negotiate because of their grounding in business.
