  Speaker 1: Bring on the popcorn moment.
• 0:03
  Speaker 2: Brought to you by Boer, B-O-O-H-E-R, boerremodeling.com. Kitchen, bathroom, basement,
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: what are you trying to get done? Yeah, the answer
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: is Boer. And then things can actually get done. It's
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: the way it works. For me, it was, well, a
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: few years ago, it was the guest bathroom. And then
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: just recently, it was the kitchen. Now, as I've stated,
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: it wasn't a full-on remodel.
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: We didn't tear it down to the studs. It was
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: the countertops. It was the backsplashes.
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: It was these finishing touches that we want to make
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: sure we're done right. And we have this blue dunes granite.
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: And it wasn't even the first choice. We didn't go
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: in thinking this. We thought we were going with the courts.
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: We thought we were going to hit a court site.
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: We really had these visions. And then because of Boer Remodeling,
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: we got to meet all these amazing companies that have
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: the slabs of stone, lots of cool people and got
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: to talk to a bunch and really get input and
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: found this. This look that we're like, this is cool.
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: This is different. That's exactly who we are. We want this.
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: And instead of going with the sheen, very often with granite,
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: you see people get it almost like glossy and polished.
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: We went with something called leathered. I don't know if
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: you've ever even heard of this because I had not.
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: And it's just, it's more of like a matte finish,
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: but you can actually feel the stone.
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: Like our countertop has texture and it's awesome. What do
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: you want?
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: Boer is there to make it happen and make the
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: job done right exactly the way.

• 1:44
  Speaker 1: let's go, let's go, let's go.
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: It's a story you need to hear to believe then
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: grab your popcorn because there is more. I have a
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: whole host of things that I want to get to,
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: but there's a, I can't, I was just having this
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: conversation with a friend in Jersey because there's flooding all
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: over the place. These storms there's, there's, you're going to
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: hear stories. It's really, really bad in places near where,
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: where I grew up and where I have friends. So
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: I was checking in on some people and we were
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: talking about, um, It got into a conversation of some
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: car stuff we had been talking about. And my friend
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: in Jersey was relaying that his car insurance is inching
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: ever closer to five digits. That's a lot of money
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: for car insurance. My car insurance is too much. I
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: happen to like my car insurance people. I think they've
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: done a very good job for me. But it's crazy.
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: The number is nuts. The cost of the everyday things.
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: That's where we are. And I am stunned by the
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: Trump administration not addressing this with more clarity. They're performing
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: the same mistake, engaging in the same mistake that.
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: The Biden administration did.
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: Now, they have much more on their side, something that
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: a lot of the economists of Indiana never, ever accepted.
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: In the Trump administration, in this year, incomes are up.
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: Manufacturing is up. That could not be said of the
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: Biden years. They told us it was the greatest economy ever.
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: They were lying.
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: Why?
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: I don't care what degree they have. The numbers are
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: the numbers. The data is the data. And what they
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: wanted was the idea of it, not the reality of it.
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: The reality was it was bad.
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: Bad.
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: The reality here is that the take home is better.
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: The manufacturing is up and it's still bad because the
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: cost of everything as we perceive it. And in a
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: lot of places, the reality is that a place that's
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: just abhorrent. I talk about this with cigars and I
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: get I'm talking about a luxury product and rarefied air.
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: I concede the point. This is my luxury. This is
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: what I do.
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: If a cigar is $ 30 or $ 40 or $ 50, I'll
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: still do it. The problem, and you can talk to
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: cigar people everywhere, is that way too many cigars are
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: now getting into the $ 30 and $ 40 and $ 50 price point.
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: It is out of control. Everybody I know, this is anecdotal, agreed.
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: Everyone I smoke with, anecdotal, again. Dear Lord, are you
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: seeing these prices?
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: Everybody's now on the lookout for the $ 14 to $ 16 stick.
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: The strange part about that is that five years ago,
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: this was.
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: The $ 8 to $ 10 stick, and.
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: The average in America was a $ 6 cigar. I was
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: always doing the rarefied stuff. I know that about me.
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: I don't golf. I don't do the other stuff. This
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: is where I do my indulgences. Conceited. Conceited.
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: But the average price because of tariffs, because of shipping costs,
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: because of other costs have gone up. And that's just
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: on the luxury stuff. You can cut that out. How
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: do you cut out the car insurance? And what do
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: I hear from President Trump?
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: President, do you know.
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: Any more about the attacks on the suspect migrants in
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: the UK? Is there a connection to Iran?
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: We know all about it.
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: This is about the foil terrorist attack against an Air
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: Force base in the UK.
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: I'm going to talk more about that.
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: But listen to how President Trump responds to knowing about
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: this and how he goes full Trump.
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: You'll be hearing about it very soon.
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: We caught him.
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: Your big announcement tomorrow.
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: We're meeting with Anthropic, as you know, on Tuesday. That's
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: going to be a big. And we have a couple
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: of unrelated things tonight. And tonight I'm having dinner with
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: the head of Anthropic. So these are long days, but
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: I seem to be able to handle it, right?
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: These are long days.
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: People said, really? I said, I'm having dinner at 10
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: o'clock tonight. So we travel all over the world and
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: we have dinner, but that's all right. So I'm having
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: dinner with... Dario from, as you know, very highly respected,
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: from Anthropic. He's the head of Anthropic. Did you get
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: any congratulations from Pritzker?
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: Did you hear from him at all?
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: No, no, no. I didn't hear from him.
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: I didn't.
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: You okay?
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: Great.
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: So that's a long day, right? We leave early in
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: the morning, and now I have a dinner with Anthropic.
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: But that's okay. It's good stuff. You know why it's good?
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: Because our nation is winning. We had an incredible meeting
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: with President Xi.
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: It lasted for a long time.
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: I mean, actually, two days, if you think about it.
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: And we've made tremendous progress. This last three days has
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: been very amazing. That was a great meeting with President Xi,
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: and a lot of good things are happening.
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: Can I just tell you?
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: That I realized as it's ending, I grabbed the wrong clip.
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: So I just put you through that for nothing and
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: I apologize. He's making an argument that with the exception
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: of oil, everything is way down. This was the clip
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: I was looking for while he's on the tarmac. That
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: with the exception of oil, everything is way down. You
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: could talk about Anthropic all you want. You could talk
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: about a great meeting with Xi all you like. With
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: the exception of oil, everything is way down is dismissing
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: where Americans are. Because the price of oil means the
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: price of other things is still high. And also, everything
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: is not weighed down. That is not the way Americans
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: see it. It is missing the story. So I'm sorry
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: about that. That was the wrong clip. I am. I
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: love how he's talking about how much energy he has
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: meeting with Dario from Anthropic and doing this stuff.
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: And he does.
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: Anybody who wants to say he's got himself a mental
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: acuity issue, but Biden was fine. Laugh those people out
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: of the room. But if he wants to say that
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: everything is great and everything's way down with the exception
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: of oil, that is missed opportunity and not true.
