Thank you for joining us on this episode of Making the Argument.

I am joined today with Christian, Lydia, and Nick, who is down in Richmond doing the people's work.

We appreciate your patience.

We understand that him not having video up is frustrating, but he is down there working hard for the people of Virginia,

and we really appreciate him doing that.

We've got some really interesting things to talk about today during our team call this morning.

Christian brought up a really interesting

point about inflation, the Fed, and all of these tech companies firing tens of thousands of people.

Something really interesting that I wasn't aware of that we are going to dive into today.

So, Liddy, I'm going to hand it over to you to start us off.

Thanks so much, Hamilton.

Really glad to be here with you guys.

I'm using my phone today, which is why I look a little different because my internet didn't work for me earlier this afternoon.

So I am also hanging in there by a thread, but we're here and we're going to have a great conversation.

I'm really looking forward to it.

And yeah, so I have Nick here, Hamilton here, and Christian.

So we're going to cover all of this awesome stuff and really break it down for you guys today.

Even though Nick is remote, still going to be a great conversation.

So let's get it rolling.

Nick, real quick, before we jump into this, do you want to give everyone a brief update?

It's been about a week since you gave an update from Richmond as to how everything is going down there.

Yeah, sure. I mean, so today we actually went through kind of some of the floor debate with respect to tax cuts and whatnot.
