0:00.0	I was thinking about that children's story, the little engine that could or that couldn't
0:13.2	or whatever as I was preparing for today's show, because we seem to have this sort of the
0:18.7	trade deal that couldn't, the trade deal between the United States
0:23.2	and the United Kingdom that supposedly was going to be announced yesterday in this big Oval
0:27.6	office event.
0:28.5	And then Donald Trump shows up.
0:30.1	And he's, you know, as he often finds himself these days kind of slunched, hunched over,
0:35.7	and doesn't really have anything to announce. A massive, massive

1:39.8	deal is a very conclusive one. We think just about everything's been approved. So good for both
1:47.0	countries.
1:48.0	Think of that. It hasn't quite been written up yet. The deals are going to be written really
1:54.0	soon. We've got 40 monkeys sitting at 40 different typewriters and we just need to give them time
