0:00.0 | Well, howdy there, Internet people, it's Bell again. So today, we're going to talk about Trump, Ford, Boeing, and Signals. |
0:10.9 | If you were putting together a list of iconic American companies, Ford and Boeing would be on the list. |
0:18.0 | Both are now having to deal with massive complications because of Trump's trade war. |
0:24.0 | China is turning away Boeing aircraft. Boeing is an American icon and it's already in trouble. |
0:31.5 | The Boeing facility in Huntsville announced layoffs in February and they're underway now. |
