00:00Peter.
00:01The Press Thank you, Caroline.
00:02When the President goes down to Florida on the weekends, does he ever hear from — there
00:06are so many retired folks down in Florida — does he ever hear from any retired Americans
00:12who are stressed about these wild swings in the stock market because of the tariff uncertainty,
00:19and they're sitting there on fixed income or living off the 401K, and they don't know
00:24how much money is going to be left?
00:26Ms. McEnany Well, certainly, they are legitimate concerns.
00:28And the President takes those concerns very seriously, and he's addressing them every
00:32single day.
00:33And tomorrow's announcement is to protect future generations of the senior citizens
00:38you mentioned.
00:39It's for their kids and their grandkids to ensure that there are jobs here in the United
00:43States of America for their children to live the American dream, just like they presumably
00:48did.
00:49And as for their worries about their 401Ks, their Social Security — I just addressed
00:53Social Security — this President is always going to protect it for our taxpaying senior
00:57citizens.
00:59And as for their 401Ks, look at what President Trump did for you in his first term.
01:02He is working on implementing that economic formula every single day by lowering inflation,
01:08lowering energy prices, massive deregulatory efforts, while simultaneously effectively
01:12implementing tariffs.
01:13And they'll hear more about that announcement tomorrow.
01:15Q And you said that the President right now is with the trade and tariff team.
01:19They are very confident that this is all going to work.
01:22But what if they're wrong?
01:23Ms. McEnany Yes.
01:24They're not going to be wrong.
01:25It is going to work.
01:27And the President has a brilliant team of advisors who have been studying these issues
01:31for decades.
01:33And we are focused on restoring the golden age of America and making America a manufacturing
01:37superpower.
01:38And again, Peter, I would point you to the investments that have already trickled into
01:41this country.
01:42And the President hasn't even made his tariff announcement yet tomorrow.
01:46There have been billions of dollars in private investments from around the world pouring
01:50into American communities.
01:52What does that look like for those watching at home, for the people you mentioned worried
01:55about their own economic circumstances?
01:58It means more jobs in your communities, which means more money, more investments, more money
02:02in your pocket.
02:03That's what the President is committed to.
02:05And I would be remiss if I didn't mention the President's commitment to tax cuts, which
02:09we are counting on Congress to do, especially on Social Security.
