00:00I think that everyone's going to do well in this country because of tariffs.

00:08We have $7 trillion of investment already.

00:13You can go back many years, and for a whole year, they haven't had anywhere near that.

00:18Mostly, they'd be well under $1 trillion of investment.

00:21And we've got $7 trillion.

00:23We really started five weeks ago.

00:26And in just a few weeks, literally, we have $7 trillion, which is a record for a year.

00:31There's never been a year with that much.

00:33And that's coming in, I think, for two reasons.

00:35It's coming because of an election that people liked, and it's coming in because of tariffs.

00:40And if you look at Apple, Apple's going to start building here.

00:45Right now, they're in China mostly.

00:47$500 billion.

00:49We have the computer—all of the computer chip companies are coming in at levels that nobody's ever seen before, as you know.

00:57Jensen came in for $500 billion.

00:59You saw that.

01:00Great guy.

01:01Highly respected.

01:02Mr. Wei coming in for $200, $250 billion.

01:07Nobody's ever seen anything.

01:08And the auto companies are coming in.

01:11We can—I can name eight right now already auto plants that are either starting or about ready to start construction.

01:19There's never been any United Auto Workers and the non-union workers in the automobile industry.

01:25They love Trump, and I love them.

01:28Thank you all very much.

01:29Congratulations, Paul.

01:30Congratulations, Paul.
