00:00Oh, I think the tariffs are going to be the greatest thing we've ever done as a country.
00:05It's going to make our country rich again.
00:07We have many companies, as you know, auto companies are opening up plants now.
00:12We've had four or five announced already, but many more are coming.
00:16And we're basically going to take back the money, a lot of the money that we've given
00:20away over many decades.
00:22We've lost our jobs.
00:23We've lost our factories.
00:25We've lost 90,000 factories since the beginning of NAFTA.
00:29That's not that long ago, 90,000 factories.
00:32Think of that.
00:33And we're going to get them back.
00:34And they're coming back.
00:35And they're coming back in records.
00:37Look at what happened with the big chip company, the biggest in the world, by far the most
00:41powerful chip company in the world, from Taiwan.
00:45And they're going in with $200 billion of money, and they're going to build something
00:49that's going to give us 35, 40 percent of the chip market in one, just in one company.
00:54No, it's going to bring it back.
00:56And I think it's going to make us, bring us to a level that we've never had before.
