What BBN said about it

  1. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorVice President JD Vance told CBS News this week that we're turning the ship around, but it could take some time.

  2. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorWith me is crisis publicist Marisol Teague, live from a yacht.

  3. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorMarisol, Americans are frustrated about the economy, and the message is please be patient. Is that a plan or a request?

  4. Marisol TeagueVera, it's a launch. A ship that takes time to turn is a ship with real weight behind it, and that's the good news.

  5. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorBut the administration is steering. Isn't it odd to ask for patience about a turn you are in charge of?

  6. Marisol TeagueThis is Steady Eddie, my wheel. It has never once steered me wrong, or anywhere, really.

  7. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorIt isn't attached to anything.

  8. Marisol TeagueWhich means zero resistance, and that's the good news. Nobody can accuse you of heading anywhere you didn't choose.

  9. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorSo a voter who sees no turn yet should read that as discipline, not drift?

  10. Marisol TeagueFrankly, an iceberg is just a stakeholder that showed up before we were ready, and the gift shop is excellent.

  11. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorLet me ask you plainly, and I want a real answer. When will people feel an improvement?

  12. Marisol TeagueSooner than you think, later than you'd like, and right on schedule for a ship that hasn't turned.

  13. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorI'm putting you on our backorder list for a straight answer, Marisol. You're number nine thousand, ready sometime in 2027.

  14. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorBrock, is there any smooth sailing out there?
