And welcome to Fast Money President Biden, speaking in Pittsburgh, laying out his massive

0:04.1

infrastructure spending plan, also laying out his plan to pay for it, which would include

0:09.2

tax increases on the wealthy as well as corporate America. Let's get straight to Elon

0:12.9

Moe with all the details, Elon. Well, listen, the president there trying to strike an inspirational
