| 0:15.2 | This is Beth Silvers. |
| 0:16.8 | You're listening to Pantsuit Politics. |
| 0:18.9 | Today we're going to talk about the economy. |
| 0:20.7 | We're going to talk about the American economy, the global economy. Why is the stock market soaring, but no one can get a job? Is the AI bubble about to burst? |
| 0:29.8 | Are our crypto billionaires trying to get their hands on your 401K? We're going to talk about all of that today. And more. And outside of politics, we have two very exciting announcements that you're definitely |
