  Speaker 1: A hell of a crowd, a good looking crowd behind me.
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: Thank you guys. Now, the CEO told me, you guys
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: run four shifts at this plant. So after I talk,
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: do you have to go back to work or are
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: you done for the day. You gotta go back for work? Well,
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: what if I give a seven hour speech? Do you
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: have to go back to work? Then you give a
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: politician a microphone, you never know exactly what's going to happen.
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: My friends, I want to thank all of you for
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: being here. I want to thank Lee Zelden for the
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: kind of deduction. But most importantly, I want to thank
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: Lee Zelden for doing a hell of a good job
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: at the Environmental Protection Agency. Because one thing that we believe,
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: you know, there was this idea that happened under the
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: last administration that you couldn't have clean air, clean water,
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: a solid environment, but also growing American industry. President Trump
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: rejects that idea, and he put Lee Zelden as the
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: guy in charge of implementing that agenda. We can have
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: beautiful skies, we can have clean air, we can have
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: clean water. We can also have good American manufacturing jobs.
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: There's no tension between those two things. Lee Zelda is
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: the man making it happen. Thank you, Lee. I want
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: to thank the great Lieutenant Governor of the State of
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: South Carolina, Eve LG. Where are you there? You are,
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: Thank you for being here. I want to thank Congresswoman
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: Mace and all the state and lawmakers and other elected
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: officials who are joining us here today. You guys have
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: got great public officials in the state of South Carolina.
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: We're proud of them, right, They're doing a hell of
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: a job. Now, let me just one other note of
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: thanks here, because I just got the tour of a
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: lifetime here at New cor Steel. So I want to
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: thank Leon and everyone here at this incredible facility here
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: New Course Steel, Berkeley for hosting us for decades. New
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: Corps has been an engine of American industry. The products
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: this company and other steel makers create form the literal
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: foundation of American society. And I know I speak for
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: many in the administration, certainly I speak for the President
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: when I say we're grateful for that. We're grateful for
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: the billions of dollars in new capital investments New Corps
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: has announced in just the last few months, and most importantly,
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: we're grateful to the steel workers at this incredible plant.
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: Thank you all for doing what you do, for building
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: America and for making America proud. Now, I have this
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: great speech prepared and I'm very excited to give it.
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: But it's also it's very windy out here. And you
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: see this teleprompter here, it's waving like a beautiful American flag.
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: And so we'll see. If I have to go off
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: script here, it'll make everybody, it'll make the communication staff
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: a little bit nervous. But I gotta tell you, you
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: all know the reason why I'm here. Number one is
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: to celebrate the great steel workers behind me, in front
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: of me, but it's also to celebrate one hundred days
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: of the Trump administration. We hit the hundred day mark
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: and what one hundred day market was Now to me,
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: that marker means a lot of things for the state
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: of South Carolina. It means a lot of things for
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: this plant, means a lot of things for America. Number one,
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: one hundred days means energy dominance. We have started drill
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: baby drilling. It means cheaper gas, and it means America
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: that is self reliant. This hundred days marks a new
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: thing in the United States of America. So that we
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: didn't have just a few short months ago secure borders
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: in the United States of America. I know we're all
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: proud about that. It means safer streets and an American
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: people once again encouraged to feel pride in our great
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: American history and our great American values. But most importantly,
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: one hundred days under Donald Trump's leaderships begin marks the
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: beginning of the industrial renaissance in the United States of America.
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: I believe that a golden age of American manufacturing started
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: one hundred days ago, and we're building it right here
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: at New Course Steel in South Carolina. And I want
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: to celebrate everybody here. I want to celebrate the work
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: you do. I want to celebrate the investments this business
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: has made in the United States of America. I want
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: to celebrate the incredible things you build for the United States.
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: And it's funny. I got a great plant tour here,
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: and I went to a couple of different places, in
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: one of which they said, you know, if things start
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: to go wrong, press the red button. And I looked
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: over at John, and I looked at Seth, who has
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: giving me the tour, and I said, man, I'm gonna
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: cost you guys a lot of money if the Vice
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: President comes here and screws up and doesn't press the
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: red button when he supposed And you know what, the
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: leadership of this facility told me. They said, you know what,
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: even if vice President screws up a little bit and
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: costs us some money, We're gonna make so much money
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: from Donald Trump's golden age of American manufacturing that you
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: guys will end up ahead in the bargain. And I thought,
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: that's not too bad. Now, a lot of you may
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: know this is a particular meaningful stop for me as
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: Vice President of the United States. I've actually never had
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: a tour of a steel mill, even though my grandfather,
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: the man who raised me, worked in the steel industry.
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: He was for forty years a welder at Armcoast Steel
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: in Middletown, Ohio. Now he was part of the Appalachian
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: wave of migration to people who came from West Virginia,
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: eastern Kentucky, and East Tennessee to the rapidly growing industrial
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: towns which had factory jobs that promised three things for
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: their workers generous wages, stable hours, and good pension. Now,
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: in the wake of both World Wars, millions of Americans
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: traveled to towns like Middletown, Ohio in search of the same,
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: hoping they'd be fortunate enough to score such a role,
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: such a good job. Now, my Patball, he was not
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: a proud man, but he would beam when he'd talk
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: about his work at the local Armco mill. I remember
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: that driving around with Papball, he could name the make
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: and model of every single car made with armcost steel.
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: I remember that as a little boy, how much proud,
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: how much pride he had and what he did. And
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: having met a few workers here at Newcore, I hope
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: you all feel the exact same pride in the steel
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: you produce and in the products that come out of it.
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: When you see bridges you drive over, or the foundations
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: of the buildings that our families live and work in,
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: when you see a lawnmower, a water heater, a kitchen
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: appliance in your neighbor's homes or in your home, I
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: hope every single one of you, you guys, and you
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: guys in front of me, feel a sense of pride,
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: however small, because these are the products that actually make
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: America work. These are the products that make our citizens'
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: lives better. And I hope you feel not just pride
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: in the work that you do, I hope you feel
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: a little patriotic too, because this is America's national heritage.
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: It's making things from Alexander Hamilton to Henry Clay, from
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: Ford's auto workers to the steelworkers here this very afternoon.
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: America has always been a nation that builds the Empire, state, building,
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: the Hoover Dam, the Saturn five. Every single one of
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: those great accomplishments were impossible without the might of American industry,
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: and yes, the hard work of American steel workers. But
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: let's be honest, for a couple decades aid though, our
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: leaders forgot about that core part of American national identity.
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: They decided that America would no longer be a manufacturing power. Instead,
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: we'd let the rest of the world make the necessary
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: things that we needed for our homes and for our families.
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: And when a nation decides to the industrialize, my friends,
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: you know what else. It stops using the intermediate goods
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: central to that manufacturing, the things like steel that you
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: all make right here in New Core. So we stopped
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: making the things that we needed. We stopped making as
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: many cars, we stopped making appliances, we stopped building new
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: homes and buildings to the costs of housing skyrocket in
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: our communities. And even this company, New Core Steel. You
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: know what the leadership told me just a couple of
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: short minutes ago, that there was a West Virginia facility,
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: a beautiful, high tech New Core manufacturing facility making great
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: American steel and given workers good jobs in the process.
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: That steel facility. That project sat idle for years under
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: the Biden administration's crushing environmental regulations and environmental rules. So
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: when our leadership decides that Americans don't want to make anything,
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: you know what we do. We cost great businesses and
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: great corporations like Newcorp. A lot of money. We cost
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: great workers their wages, and we cost a lot of
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: people their jobs. And that was the policy of the
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: administration that came before us. But I'm proud that we
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: are now one hundred and one days into an administration
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: that wants to invest in you, that wants to build
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: the future with you. And when Americans see a beautiful
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: bridge or a beautiful building, we all ought to look
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: at it and say that was made with American hands
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: and built with great American steel, right, And that is
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: exactly what the Trump administration promises to do. Now. I
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: want to say that recently we should have learned a
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: very hard lesson about what happens when you ship all
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: of your industries and all the things you need the
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: countries that don't like you. Now I learned that lesson
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: very personally, not with steel, but I remember a few
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: years ago I got three little kids, and as you know,
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: sometimes little kids get sick, and one of my kids
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: had an ear infection. I went into a pharmacy and
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: I said, hey, I've got a prescription here for a maxacillin,
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: and the pharmacists told me that they didn't have any amoxacillin,
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: a drug in some ways invented by the United States
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: of America. We didn't have enough of it for American children.
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: That's what happens when you lose the ability to make
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: your own stuff. You've got parents who can't get the
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: medicine they need for their own children. And as we
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: learned during the COVID pandemic, remember you know, this terrible
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: virus comes A lot of people were falling sick with it,
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: and we need hospital gowns, and we need hospital masks,
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: we need the things that are necessary to operate an
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: American medical facility, and it turned out all of those
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: supplies came from the very country that set the virus
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: loose on the entire world. Remember that those lessons, the
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: lesson that you can't become dependent on foreign adversary, the
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: lesson that you've got to make your own stuff. That
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: is the lesson that the Trump administration has put into
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: place in the first one hundred days. And I'm telling you,
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: I bring this word straight from the President of the
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: United States. We're so proud of every single one of you.
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: We're so proud of what you do. We're proud of
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: the hard work you do. We're proud of the beautiful
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: products that we make with American steel, and we are
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: never going to allow your job to get shipped off
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: to a country that hates us. We want to protect
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: your jobs, and most importantly, we want to protect the
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: great work you do right here in South Carolina and
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: all across the United States of America. Now you heard,
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: I'm sure you've heard criticism of the President's trade policies
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: from people who ought to know better. Because if you
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: listen to the American media or you listen to a
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: lot of politicians in our own country. They seem desperate
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: to forget the very lessons that made Donald J. Trump
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: the forty fifth and forty seventh president of the United
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: States of America. Now they attack us when we implement
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: trade policies that do a very simple thing rebalance trade
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: in favor of American workers and American businesses instead of
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: foreign workers and foreign corporations. I've talked to people here
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: today who talk about expanding facilities, building new steelmaking facilities
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: because of the trade policies that Donald J. Trump is implemented.
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: And I'll ask all of you, the workers and the
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: corporate leadership assembled here today, a very simple question. Do
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: you want to ship American jobs off to the People's
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: Republic of China? Do you want to rely on foreign
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: corporations to make the things that you need in your
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: homes and your families need every single day? So why
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: don't we rebuild America's middle class? Why don't we rebuild
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: American manufacturing, And why don't we rebuild American industry just
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: like you're doing right here? And isn't it nice to
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: have an administration that supports you for a change. So
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: you know, you see these media personalities, they're pulling their
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: hair out. They're saying, well, you know, you guys, you're
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: gonna make it harder to manufacture in China. Isn't that bad? No,
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: it's good. It's exactly what we want to do. They're saying,
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: you're gonna make it harder for people to bring products
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: in from overseas and undercut the wages of American workers. Exactly,
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: that's exactly what we want to do. They're saying, you're
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: gonna make it harder for foreign corporations, but you're gonna
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: make it easier for American businesses to build great things
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: in America. And I say, that's exactly right. That's not
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: something to be that's not something to complain about. That
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: is something to be proud of. And thank god we've
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: got an administration that's finally looking out for American businesses
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: and the American workers who employ them. Ain't that right?
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: So I'm here today, and I gotta tell you it
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: is just it is such a personally amazing thing for
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: a guy who was born in Middletown, Ohio, who was
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: raised by a forty year welder at a steel mill,
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: to be able to come to this beautiful facility as
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: the Vice President of the United States. And I can't
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: help thank you. I can't help but pinch myself, Pinch
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: myself that I get to spend the day in beautiful
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: South Carolina with you find people, pinch myself that I'm
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: the Vice President of the United States, and pinch myself,
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: of course, because I know that this country is still
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: the place of great, big American dreams. But it's only
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: gonna stay that country if we fight for it, if
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: we fight for the jobs of the people here at
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: the facility, if we fight to make it easier to
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: build upon it and to build great things in the
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: United States of America. I gotta be honest with you,
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: The American dream was not built by people selling digital
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: advertisements in Silicon Valley. The American people was built by
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: people like you. The American dream was built by steelmakers
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: and auto workers and people who work with their hands.
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: And I think another thing we got to do is
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: we have to send a message. Ladies and gentlemen. I
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: think you all know this better than I do, But
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: I learned a little bit today that you all don't
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: just work with your hands. You work with your heads
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: in amazing ways. This is an incredibly high tech facility.
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: I'm sure you all are amazed and how much you
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: can do. You got about a thousand workers here and
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: they're earning great wages and doing a great job. How
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: much those one thousand workers can do to build the
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: American dream of the future. It's an amazing thing. And
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: so I think we got to send messages to our
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: young people that the most interesting work, the work that's
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: going to challenge your mind but also allow you to
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: work with your hands, is found at American steel mills
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: right here at New Coort Berkeley in South Carolina. You know,
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: I was sitting down at Seth's terminal. I thought, this
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: guy is not a steel mill worker. He's operating a spaceship.
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: Because there's like fourteen very complicated screens in front of me,
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: and I felt like Homer Simpson, I had no idea
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: what I was gonna do. I was like, Seth, you
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: got to get back in the share or we're gonna
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: cause some serious problems. But what it made me realize
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: is that technology, you know, technology we use this term.
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: We think about it as the iPhones that we have
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: in our pocket or the screen that we stare at.
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: When when a lot of our knowledge workers are going
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: to work. But technology is happening right here at a
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: steal making facility in Newcore in Berkeley, in South Carolina.
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: That's technology of the future, the great technology the future.
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: I don't think it's going to be people, you know,
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: sitting around staring at their iPhones. The technology of the
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: future is going to be building great things, but doing
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: it in a new way, doing it with new, incredible facilities,
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: with safer facilities, with people who know again how to
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: use their minds but also use their hands. And I
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: think that is the high tech future. You know, people
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: criticize I get six sometimes in the press they say
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: that Donald J. Trump wants to bring back the jobs
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: of the past. And I don't think anything could be
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: further from the truth, because I again was raised by
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: a man who worked at a steel mill of the past.
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: But I guarantee if I went to that steel mill today,
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: it's owned by Cleveland Cliff. Sorry, that's a competitor, but
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: they're a good company too. We can spread the love around,
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: but I guarantee if I went to that facility today,
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: or when I go to this facility here in Berkeley,
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: I don't see the steel mill jobs of the past
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: I see the steel mill jobs of the future. I
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: see technology allowing us to do something today that my grandfather,
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: God love them, wasn't doing forty years ago at armcoas
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: Steel in Militoun, Ohio. And I know that's how we're
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: gonna win the future. That's how we're gonna beat the Chinese.
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: That's how we're gonna beat every single competitor that America faces.
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: It's gonna be by doing great things like what you're
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: doing here at New Course Seal. And never let anybody
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: tell you that this is not high tech. This is
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: the highest tech industry maybe that I've ever seen. And
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: you're building the America of the future, not the America
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: of the past. So let me just close by saying,
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: my friends, I think that the great American manufacturing comeback
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: has become and the world has started to take notice.
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: In just one hundred days, the President has attracted millions
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: of dollars in commitments for new investment in America, including
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: some from New Course Steel. Just yesterday we saw that
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: business investment in the first quarter of the United States economy,
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: business investment grew by twenty two percent. That was just
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: a few short months. That's a big number, and we
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: know whether with all this additional investment is going to
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: come hundreds of thousands of new, high paying, high quality jobs.
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: We're going to see new jobs and artificial intelligence and
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: deep water oil production and chip fabrication and pharmaceutical factories,
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: research labs, super computing facilities, and of course in great
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: American made steel. But the idea is very simple, and
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: the principle is even simpler, that we want to grow
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: up in a country. We want our children to grow
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: up in a country where the things that they need
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: are made by their neighbors and not by foreigners who
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: hate their guts, where the critical components of American industry
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: are built right here in the United States of America,
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: not in some far flung region in the world that
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: we can't depend on. And were American jobs for people
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: who are willing to work hard and play by the rules,
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: pay a solid wage, allow you to buy a home
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: and start a family, and where you're proud every single day,
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: just like my grandfather was, of the things that you
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: built with your hands, but also with your minds. I
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: hope that you all are proud, because I am certainly
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: proud to stand here with great American steel workers, and
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: every single day from this day forward that I go
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: out as Vice President the United States, when I look
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: at those tall skyscrapers or I look at those beautiful bridges,
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: I'm going to remember this day and remember that you
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: guys are building the future of this country. I'm proud
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: of you. We're rooting for you. The President of United
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: States is going to make your life easier every single day.
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: We had a good start one hundred days. But for
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: the next thirteen hundred days, President Donald J. Trump and
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: Vice President Vance, we're gonna be fighting for you, fighting
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: for your jobs, and fighting for the future that you
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: want to build for your families. God bless you all.
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: Thank you for having me. Pard sending it all down,
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: man
