GEIST Obviously workers have ░░░░░░░░ at the center of ░░░░░░░░ in your life since ░░░░░░░░ beginning of your political ░░░░░░░░ So can you talk ░░░░░░░░ little bit about in ░░░░░░░░ state of Ohio just ░░░░░░░░ one example what these ░░░░░░░░ might do BROWN Yeah ░░░░░░░░ started this week I ░░░░░░░░ launched there the Dignity ░░░░░░░░ Work Institute to focus ░░░░░░░░ workers and it s ░░░░░░░░ nonpartisan nonpolitical institute in ░░░░░░░░ sense And I can ░░░░░░░░ to tariffs in a ░░░░░░░░ because I think that ░░░░░░░░ a that s part ░░░░░░░░ it but Washington is ░░░░░░░░ on unemployment rate Washington ░░░░░░░░ focused on inflation Presidents ░░░░░░░░ to declare victory on ░░░░░░░░ on tariffs But it ░░░░░░░░ really missing the story ░░░░░░░░ we see profits continue ░░░░░░░░ go up we see ░░░░░░░░ compensation explode we see ░░░░░░░░ more and more productive ░░░░░░░░ year but we see ░░░░░░░░ flat and we see ░░░░░░░░ money going out the ░░░░░░░░ than coming in to ░░░░░░░░ So one of the ░░░░░░░░ we found in this ░░░░░░░░ and the polling we ░░░░░░░░ done is that workers ░░░░░░░░ many that close to ░░░░░░░░ the workers in this ░░░░░░░░ have held 2 or ░░░░░░░░ jobs at the same ░░░░░░░░ over the last 2 ░░░░░░░░ 3 years Many workers ░░░░░░░░ kind of given up ░░░░░░░░ the thought of buying ░░░░░░░░ house So we really ░░░░░░░░ t dug deeply enough ░░░░░░░░ really understand that That ░░░░░░░░ really why workers are ░░░░░░░░ angry It really is ░░░░░░░░ of the reason for ░░░░░░░░ s tariffs aimed at ░░░░░░░░ just China that cheats ░░░░░░░░ aimed all over the ░░░░░░░░ even to our allies ░░░░░░░░ it s why the ░░░░░░░░ have essentially thrown out ░░░░░░░░ incumbent party in 16 ░░░░░░░░ 20 and 24 because ░░░░░░░░ don t think politicians ░░░░░░░░ listening they don t ░░░░░░░░ the serious people in ░░░░░░░░ the economists are listening ░░░░░░░░ don t think journalists ░░░░░░░░ listening to what s ░░░░░░░░ happening in their lives ░░░░░░░░ this institute I created ░░░░░░░░ Several people from my ░░░░░░░░ staff have come over ░░░░░░░░ really have expertise in ░░░░░░░░ And we re going ░░░░░░░░ focus on on people ░░░░░░░░ lives a lot more ░░░░░░░░ statistics and a lot ░░░░░░░░ than what the president ░░░░░░░░ or what a congressman ░░░░░░░░ woman says.”
