00:00Nobody could have done that. Nobody has our weapons.
00:03Nobody has the quality of our weapons.
00:05The problem is we don't produce them fast enough.
00:06We're going to start producing them much faster.
00:08We're going to be very tough on the companies.
00:10We have the best weapons in the world, but it takes too long to get them,
00:13including allies, when allies want to buy them.
00:16They have to wait four years for a plane, five years for a helicopter.
00:19We're not letting that happen anymore.
00:21We're telling our defense contractors, you're going to start building faster.
00:25You know, a guy makes...
00:27I have a big problem with it.
00:29I'm the king. I have sold more Boeings than any human being on Earth.
00:32They gave me an award, Salesman of the Year.
00:34I said, what about Salesman in the history of Boeing?
00:38I've sold more Boeing planes than any man in history by far,
00:42probably over a thousand.
00:44Over a thousand planes.
00:45I said, that's the good news.
00:46But why should they wait three, four years to get a plane?
00:48They should get them immediately.
00:50The F-35s, it takes too long to get them.
00:53The Apache helicopter.
00:55I mean, I had India coming to me.
00:57Sir, I've been waiting five years.
00:58We're changing it.
01:00We're changing it.
01:01India ordered 68 Apaches.
01:04And Prime Minister Modi came to see me.
01:06Sir, may I see you, please?
01:09Yes.
01:09I have a very good relationship with him.
01:11He's not that happy with me because, you know,
01:14they're paying a lot of tariffs now because they're not doing the oil.
01:16But they are.
01:17They've now reduced it very substantially, as you know, from Russia.
01:20We're getting rich because of tariffs, by the way.
01:22I hope everyone understands that.
01:24They hate to report.
01:26We're going to have over $650 billion poured into our country or coming in shortly because
01:33of tariffs.
01:34You know, they're finding all of these pockets of money a couple of weeks ago.
01:38I said, sir, we're off by $39 billion.
01:44Oh, is that good or bad?
01:46Meaning, do we have it or are we short of it?
01:49Sir, it's $39 billion that we can't account for.
01:52That means we have an extra $39 billion.
01:56Yes, sir.
01:57I said, well, what are you saying?
02:00We don't know where it came from.
02:02I said, check the tariff shelf.
02:06Sir, that tariff doesn't start until September.
02:09He said, no, no.
02:11It started about a month and a half ago.
02:13Check it.
02:14Comes back 25 minutes later.
02:17Sir, you were right.
02:18It came from tariffs.
02:19This never happened to us before.
02:21Where we find plus $39 billion, not million, plus $39 billion.
02:28They were missing.
02:30We've taken a $650 billion shortcoming.
02:34And that's because I'm being nice.
