00:00every opportunity I get to get the hell out of Washington, D.C.
00:02That is a good day.
00:04That is a good day.
00:06I want to thank Kelly Loeffler for that incredibly kind introduction.
00:10You know, Kelly is doing a great job at the Small Business Administration.
00:14You all would be shocked if you realized how much fraud we found
00:18even at the Small Business Administration.
00:20I'm talking about, like, dead people getting loans from the SBA.
00:24We don't want dead people getting loans from the SBA.
00:27We want American workers and American businesses getting loans
00:30from the Small Business Administration,
00:32and Kelly is doing a great job making sure that we do exactly that.
00:35I want to say thank you to Paul.
00:37It's great to be here at Vantage Plastics,
00:39a great American company with great American workers.
00:43So thank you to Paul Altman,
00:51and thank you to the entire team here at Vantage Plastics.
00:54It's great to be here.
00:57It's great to be with American workers.
00:59And, again, like I said, it's great to be out of the bubble in Washington, D.C.

01:06You know, we came in.

01:11and, of course, great workers,
01:12and I'm sure all of us saw there were a few protesters outside,
01:15and I can't be the only person wondering,
01:17you know, it's a little afternoon on a Friday,
01:20and don't you all have jobs?
01:22You are the people.
01:30And I think that's one of the reasons why we've got to rebuild American manufacturing
01:36and support great companies like Vantage Plastics,
01:38because we want those people to get off the streets and back to work.
01:41It'd be good for them, and it'd be good for everybody else, too.
01:50Now, you all don't hold it against me, of course.
01:52You know that I'm from that state, just one state south,
01:55but we know in the industrial Midwest
02:00that companies like Vantage give Great Lakes states the reputation
02:05that we know it is the powerhouse of American industry,
02:09and that makes it the powerhouse of world industry.
