00:00The wages for blue-collar workers are now rising at the fastest rate in 60 years, which is so important to all of us around this table.
00:08The average American worker has already seen a $500 wage increase this year, and there's no inflation.
00:15Because there's been decreases, tremendous decreases, with thanks to Doug and Chris, some of the people, the great job they've done with energy, thank you very much, and Chris, thank you very much.
00:26I see you're down close to $60 a barrel, and you'll be breaking that pretty soon.
00:33And that has a huge impact.
00:35So we have groceries are down, energy is way down, energy is way down.
00:41It was $4 and $5 for a gallon of gas, think of that, for gasoline.
00:48And now it's probably $2.25.
00:50There are some places it's $2, it's even, it broke $2 at a couple of locations in the South.
00:57In places like California, where they judge such high taxes, it's higher, but it's still much lower than what it was a year ago.
01:04So energy is way down, groceries are way down, eggs are way down.
01:09Thank you very much, Madam Secretary.
01:12You've done a great job, appreciate it.
01:14When we came in, the eggs were through the roof, they were four times higher than they've ever been.
01:19And my first question from you people, what are you going to do with eggs?
01:22I said, what's the problem with eggs?
01:24That was caused by Biden, or whoever was operating the auto pen actually caused it, I guess.
01:31Because I don't think he knew too much about eggs.
01:34Factories are booming compared to before I took office.
01:37This domestic auto production is going to be, it's going to be so thrilling in two years when you see the numbers.
01:46Because they're building plants all over the country.
01:48They're all coming in because of tariffs.
01:50They don't want to build, they don't want to pay the tariffs.
01:53And if they build their plant here, they don't pay the tariffs.
01:56And they're pouring into our country.
01:58And you know about AI and you know about other, but the auto plants, you know,
02:01that's the good old-fashioned stuff that I love, the auto plants are pouring into the United States of America.
02:09They're coming from Mexico, they're coming from Canada, and they're coming from Europe, all over Europe.
02:15And it's been pretty amazing.
02:18So factories are booming.
02:20And when they actually open, you know, right now they're booming in terms of construction.
