00:46Prices have been high, you know, for even before Trump was president.
00:50So it seems it's going to stay that way.
00:53But if he's going to hike, they are planning maybe two more hikes or maybe something into
00:572027, I think maybe it'll hurt us even more.
01:01But in my opinion, most of it has to do with the war and the gasoline prices that eventually
01:06when that subsides, I think prices will decrease.
01:09I'm very optimistic.
01:10We've been down this road before.
01:12This is not something new.
01:14You know, they haven't hiked.
01:15They've done it before when Jerome Powell was the Fed Chair.
01:19So it shouldn't really change too much.

01:27It's very expensive to live there now.
01:30Our gas, our diesel, just the other day was almost $8 a gallon.
01:34I'm not a big fan of our president.
01:36So I think a lot of that has to do with the way that our political population is right now,
01:43who's running our country.
01:47I mean, I don't know.
01:49I'm not, I don't, I mean, I'm not, I'm not a political expert.
01:53But I mean, obviously, some people are going to, you know, vote based on the way they feel
01:59about the economy.
02:00So if people don't feel that the economy is working out for them, that that might impact
02:06on how, you know, they vote in the upcoming elections.
02:10So...
02:19We'll see you next time.
