00:00We had some tremendous financial numbers released on Friday, as you probably heard,

00:06that our country made $25 billion last month. $25 billion. It hasn't done that in a long time.

00:14And a lot of that's done because of good management, and number one, and maybe even

00:20more importantly, the tariffs that are pouring in. We have tariffs pouring in at levels that

00:25we have never seen before. And they've only just started. That's really a small portion.

00:30It's mostly from cars and aluminum and steel. A little bit of lumber.

00:36But they'll really start in about another week. And then in about a month, they'll come in at levels

00:43that are extremely strong. And our country is making a lot of money. A lot of money.

00:50We're dealing with other countries and certain countries that would rather have

00:54a deal than a regular tavern. We're willing, if they're willing to open up. These are countries

01:01that have been shut to us, but we've been open to them. In other words, they wouldn't let us do

01:06business there, but they would do business in our country. Not a fair deal. So the European Union

01:12is talking to us. They want to open up their country. I would say Japan, to a much lesser extent,

01:18in terms of opening up their country. Japan, as you know, and we're very close to Japan,

01:24but they sell us millions and millions of cars a year. We sell them no cars because they won't

01:30accept our cars. And they won't accept much of our agriculture either. So, but they're all changing

01:38their ways very, very rapidly. South Korea wants to make a deal other than tariffs. Right now,

01:44as you know, they're paying a substantial tariff, but they want to make a difference. So some of

01:49these deals, maybe I'll change them and maybe I won't. But our country is making a lot of money,

01:56a lot of money for the first time in a long time, in decades. And that's the way it should be. We

02:01have a country that's, and I said it the other day to you people, we have a country that was dead,

02:07it was a goner one year ago. And now we have the hottest country in the world. Okay, questions?
