Good morning. How are you? It's only Tuesday. Three minutes after 10. You're listening to

0:04.5

James O'Brien on LBC. I'm just trying to think back to conversations we've had about the

0:09.7

environment and find a way of, it's sort of encapsulating the general thrust of all of them.

0:16.1

And I think one of the things I've found most fascinating, both from a professional and a personal

0:20.3

perspective, is that question of the pivot point found most fascinating, both from a professional and a personal perspective,

0:21.6

is that question of the pivot point, that question of the point of no return over which many

It's Wednesday, not Tuesday. That was a joke, by the way. It wasn't a joke. I got the day wrong. So let's just
