00:00Mr. President, I like to think of Labor Day as the Trump Trade Policy Day because everyone around this table and everyone listening knows that one of the major reasons why American workers and organized labor voted for you is because of your trade policy and the policies you've had and advocated for for 40 years or more.
00:18You have reset global trade policy in the past few months, and it shows that it's been working for American workers. When you look at President Biden, in the last quarter of 2024, median weekly earnings fell 2.1%. In the first quarter of your term, they went up 3.3%. And that's why we're doing the trade policy we're doing.
00:40It's to help the workers of the United States of America. And they're the best in the world, but they can't do it without a level playing field. And you have flipped the script.
00:48For many years, the other countries had high tariffs and high non-tariff barriers. While we were open to, right, to all of their labor and services and goods and capital, you flipped it.
00:59Now we have the tariffs, and they have lowered theirs and non-tariff barriers. And we couldn't have done it without you and the leverage you've created.
01:05So between the tariffs and the deals, the hot streak continues for the workers of America. So thank you.
01:11Thank you very much. Really good job, by the way. It's a good negotiator. Good negotiator. Thank you.
