00:12We'll give him just one more minute.

00:17All right, Alexandra Goldberg, W. H. A. S.

00:26Thank you, governor. Have you communicated with President Trump

00:29about the Apple investment?

00:30And are you planning on working with the White House on this?

00:34I haven't had an opportunity yet to communicate

00:36about the Apple investment.

00:38We'll work with any administration, including this one,

00:42if it's bringing jobs to Kentucky.

00:44I always say that to be credible,

00:46if you're gonna criticize a president

00:48when you think they're doing something wrong,

00:49you gotta give them credit

00:50when they're doing something right.

00:52And so anytime this president wants to work together

00:54to bring jobs to Kentucky,

00:56I am right here, ready, willing, and able.

00:59And just in one other area,

01:01and I know I've said this before,

01:03the FEMA response on the ground under this president

01:05is the best that I've seen.

01:07He deserves credit for it.

01:09And my hope is seeing such a well-run operation

01:14convinces him that the future of FEMA is really important.

01:18And this can be a really good group

01:20that does good work for him.

01:22So thank you all, everybody.

01:24A $4 billion week doesn't happen all that often.

01:28It's actually only happened once before

01:30in the Commonwealth of Kentucky's history.

01:32Wait until you see next week.

01:34I know it feels like a chaotic world,

01:36but there are good things happening.

01:38And when those good things happen,

01:40let's make sure we celebrate them.

01:41Let's make sure we take those really good moments.

01:43I think that's what helps sustain us

01:46through the other challenges that are out there.

01:48Everybody have a good week.

01:49Thank you all.

01:52I almost got through the whole cup of coffee.
