Hey, let's take some calls. Let's go to Dave in Chicago. Dave, how you doing?

Good morning, Mark. I'm doing very well. Thank you. Mark, as we know, President Trump is looking to have Apple iPhones manufactured in the United States, and it's great because it's going to add jobs.

But at the same time, isn't it going to drive up the cost of those units? Yeah, it'll be a long time before they can actually make them in the United States. I mean, it'll take years to build the facilities here to make them. That's the problem. Originally, Steve Jobs said he could build it here in America, but because of the unions, because of the cost, it would cost you about $5,000 for an iPhone.

You got to remember, the reason they build everything in China is slave labor.

Everybody looks the other way on this, but it's basically slave labor.

If you work in the iPhone factory, you get 36 cents a week, and you have to work 42-hour shifts, and you live in a dorm right next to the factory and looks like a prison with bunks and it's pretty bad.

But that's why they do it over there.

Eventually, and not that far in the future, AI is going to be taken over everything.

So everybody would be out of work anyway.

And once there's AI here making everything in the factories, it will probably be very

easy to bring everything back to the U.S.

Let's go to William in Pennsylvania.

William, how you doing?

Hi, Mark.

I've got a question for you.

I just got my latest copy of the new yorker

maybe i'm the only subscriber left well you're in pennsylvania you're in pennsylvania you're in pennsylvania

you probably still get life magazine right oh yeah well uh probably but the uh the thing is there

is no advertising in the New Yorker this issue I

mean it's to the point where they have a back cover of an unknown artist and one

from Columbia and I wonder if it's just because David Remnick is so crazy that this

editorial policy is finding destroyed.
