Four years ago, America led in 5G. Now, China leads. They're on pace to have four times more

5G spectrum than the U.S. and already boast 15 times more 5G factories, giving them a huge edge in

package. All the marks are out, but it's still going to be something to watch and see how much

each of these bills changes before the end of the night.

Ways and Means 2.30, ag at 730. This is a big, it's a big moment. I mean, there's no other way to say it.

Between, as I've said before,

between these three bills, E&C, Ways and Means, and Ag, you have the majority, the vast majority

of the reconciliation package, right? You have Medicaid and E&C, tax and ways and means, SNAP, and
