00:00Yeah. And Angie, do you see and I don't know whether you have any anecdotes from from the state where you live, Florida, are you seeing that sense of life is becoming a little bit more affordable now, having been expensive for a number of years?
00:14Are you seeing that? Do you see that continuing to the extent that it will have to to win the GOP, you know, the House and the Senate in the in the midterms?
00:24Yeah, not yet, unfortunately. Remember, every consumable goods that we have in 2025.
00:31Well, you know, it was purchased six to 12 months ago. Right. So we haven't really seen the Trump tariffs kick in.
00:38We don't know what that really looks like. Yeah, we've seen gas prices dip and egg prices back to, you know, reasonable numbers.
00:45But the reality is insurance is still very high. Mortgages are still quite high.
00:51It's very difficult to even purchase a car because of car insurance and all these other things.
00:55So those need to come back down. We've seen President Trump work very hard bringing down popular medicine prices down, having the favorable nations prices and things.
01:05But it takes time. So I'm going to be a little bit more reserved on my economic outlook for 2026.
01:11I want to see what quarter one and quarter two looks like, because if it's not felt in Americans pocketbooks, that is going to certainly affect how we vote in November.
01:21And, you know, I don't know if we have enough time to really bring everything down, because I think, as Greg said earlier, you know, these economic plans take nine to 12 months to really kind of come to fruition.
01:32And we're butting up right next to November at that point.
01:37So I think by June of next year, 2026, if we're not really seeing those cost savings and our insurance, I think that's the key word here.
01:47If our insurance premiums are as high as they are, Americans are still borrowing to just live a comfortable life.
01:54I would like to see those go down. I think President Trump has a plan for it.
01:59I have yet to see it yet, but that's what I'm looking forward to.
02:01It's actually just those normal monthly payments go down for everyone.
