00:00Sounds like, sounds like something I'd do.

00:02Do you think these auto tariffs are going to be good for Tesla, sir?

00:06Good for who?

00:07Tesla.

00:08Which makes its cars in the United States.

00:09Well, he makes, he is a fantastic Tesla.

00:11Will tariffs be good?

00:12I think they may, it could be a net neutral or they may be good.

00:16He has a big plant in Texas.

00:18He has a big plant in California.

00:21And anybody that has plants in the United States, it's going to be good for, in my opinion.

00:27Mr. President, you said you want to return education control to the states.

00:30How would you handle it if a state like California were to put in place education policies you

00:34disagree with?

00:35You know, I haven't seen a mask in so long.

00:36You're wearing a mask.

00:37So nice of you.

00:38I haven't seen anybody wearing a mask in a long time.

00:40It's good.

00:41You feel more comfortable, right?

00:43Yes.

00:44Good.

00:45That's good.

00:46So go ahead.

00:47You said you want to return education control to the states.

00:50How would you handle it if a state like California were to put in place education policies you

00:54disagree with?

00:56Well, I think that California is going to be tougher because they are doing badly on

01:00everything they do.

01:01You know, everything they touch turns bad.

01:04So a place like California would be tougher for education.

01:08But what I would see with California is you'd have a Los Angeles department and you'd have

01:13Riverside.

01:14You'd have, you know, you'd go to various places.

01:16And I think you'd have some great areas in California and you'd have some like everything

01:20else that doesn't work so well.

01:22But ultimately, I think it would be very successful.

01:24I think in New York, as an example, you'd go to Long Island, Westchester.

01:28You may have Nassau County, Queens.

01:30You break it up in certain ways.

01:32So they'd have maybe five departments, you know, because of the size, they'd have five

01:36departments instead of one.

01:37A state like Iowa, you'd have one.

01:40And I mean, they're just chomping at the bit to get going.

01:43So many states are chomping at the bit to get education.

01:46And it's going to happen fast to get the education brought back to the states.

01:50And I mean, I tell you what, you have 40 states, in my opinion, that will be as good

01:56as Norway, Sweden, Denmark.

02:00You take a look at those three are top among the top.

02:05And they've been there for a long time.

02:06But I think you'll have a lot, a lot.

02:09Finland is very strong.

02:11Frankly, China is very strong.

02:13China's top 10.

02:15And that's something considering the size, you know.

02:17So it's not only a size thing.

02:19But Norway, Sweden have been very good.

02:23Denmark has been very good.

02:25I think you have Iowa and Indiana and a lot of our states will be equal to them.

02:31But they can't be equal if it's going to be run in Washington.
