09:52 - this year we're celebrating the two hundred and

09:54 - fiftieth anniversary of American freedom and

09:57 - no state has been more central to protecting that freedom than the

10:01 - commonwealth of Pennsylvania.

10:03 - Pennsylvania is where america declared its independence where George Washington

10:07 - crossed the Delaware where the union was saved by the heroes of

10:11 - gettysburg what our war that was when you read about it

10:15 - and where Pennsylvania workers board the iron and steel that

10:18 - won two world wars and one lots of other things in

10:21 - addition.

10:23 - Are today a's announcement Pennsylvania will play a key role in

10:26 - building the arsenal of freedom to defend our nation.

10:29 - In the modern world we have

10:31 - things happening in this state I think really.

10:35 - People don't know what's happening in Pennsylvania people aren't really.

10:39 - Literally they're not able to even fathom what's going on and.

10:43 - I'm just saying back there I thought I was very well aware of it

10:47 - and then I'm meeting people very well known

10:48 - people and they're saying what they're doing here.

10:52 - We gotta get the word out a little bit because this is

10:54 - very much of a mirror oracle

10:56 - very much of a miracle highly respected people

10:59 - the talent and innovation in this room will keep

11:02 - america safe for many years to come

11:05 - they are very advanced the most advanced equipment

11:07 - anywhere in the world under the trump administration

11:11 - we've invested a record

11:12 - one trillion dollars in the united states military and

11:15 - next year I'm proud to say and Pete we have to get moving on this

11:19 - one point five trillion dollars were going up

11:21 - to what we need and it's all made in the usa so

11:24 - that.

11:25 - As

11:26 - Shown is not fully a cost a which costs we've got to take something but

11:30 - it's called jobs and when you think of it that way but

11:34 - one point five five I built the military in my

11:37 - first term and I used it in my second term and

11:40 - as you know a Venezuela was.

11:42 - That was actually forty eight minutes but let's call it one day

11:46 - and we've paid for the cost of that war fifty

11:49 - times over more than fifty times over already and

11:52 - they've been great the people from Venezuela the leadership has been fantastic ic

11:56 - and we're working with them and

11:58 - the big oil companies are moving in

12:00 - they've made more money for themselves in the last.

12:03 - Few months than they made in the history of the country

12:07 - and

12:08 - just properties is being properly run and

12:10 - they have oil they have so much oil you find a url

12:12 - therapy you just look down at the ground and you say oh

12:16 - as oil

12:16 - just drill it

12:18 - is a very few places that have

12:20 - anything like that but

12:22 - we have a great relationship with the leadership

12:24 - we worked with a very closely and we're

12:27 - bringing all the big American companies in and has been.

12:30 - Very much of a

12:31 - miracle millions and millions of barrels a day.

12:35 - The spirit of our armed forces is the highest it's ever

12:38 - been with every brand setting records for recruitment and

12:41 - I will tell you when during the campaign when I was running against.

12:45 - Kamilah

12:46 - she had no clue

12:48 - but Joe had no clue either that's why they got him out of there.

12:51 - I had to run against two people everyone

12:53 - else runs he goes one person you do well they

12:56 - Joe wasn't doing too well he was down like twenty eight points

12:59 - so they said let's replace him

13:01 - that's like replacing a fighter you're doing great against guys

13:04 - let's put somebody else and

13:06 - fortunately she was much better than he was.

13:10 - And somebody said she's leading in the polls as possible

13:13 - but if she is as fine

13:15 - you got to go out you gotta win

13:17 - but what's happened with the election this was an amazing election think of it

13:23 - we want every swing state

13:24 - we won the popular vote by

13:26 - a lot

13:27 - we won.

13:29 - Eighty.

13:30 - Two percent eighty seven percent

13:33 - of the counties in america that's a big when we won the electoral college.

13:38 - We want everything but all seven swing states the big things

13:41 - could anybody ever win all seven we won all

13:44 - seven swing states and we want them by a lot so it was a great

13:48 - way to cheat.

13:51 - When it came to

13:54 - joining the military

13:56 - we had

13:57 - vacancies empties we had a

13:59 - situation

14:01 - that actually it was remedied largely Pete I think on November fifth when we won

14:05 - was even before we took office it was remedied to a certain extent and

14:09 - when we took off and so

14:11 - now we have overflow crowds trying to get into the

14:13 - military and that includes our policemen or firemen.

14:17 - Anybody with a uniform on they were very ashamed of

14:19 - our country and now they're very proud of our country

14:22 - and were sending recruitment records

14:24 - like we've never had before in fact it's a great time if you want to expand

14:28 - the military a little bit it would don't be bad because we cannot get

14:31 - we have.

14:32 - Unbelievable talented in good shape

14:36 - in unbelievably good shape you know we had something pass.

14:40 - In the united states supreme court

14:42 - it was called

14:43 - merit

14:44 - and nobody thought that was going to happen I didn't think it was going to happen

14:48 - actually we're in trying to get it

14:50 - and everything now in our country again is based

14:52 - on merit getting into colleges based on merit

14:55 - when you have somebody with

14:57 - great boards great marks all a pluses and aes

15:00 - and highest sport marks and then doesn't get it

15:03 - because somebody with far less capability gets in.

15:07 - It's nasty but it's you know our country is built on greatness and was based on

15:12 - success it was based on merit and now we have that and that includes the military and

15:17 - the people that we have in this military you can send most of dollywood

15:21 - and they could become

15:22 - like movie stars they are unbelievable and you saw that in Venezuela I saw

15:27 - I met them backstage

15:29 - and these

15:30 - people that are

15:31 - it's a whole

15:33 - it's a whole different ballgame so I just want to.

15:36 - Thank everybody the the that was

15:39 - a decision that was a tough decision to make and it took

15:42 - courage to make that decision nobody thought that was going to be made

15:46 - but they gave us back our beautiful merit system and now the the

15:50 - best people get into the best positions they get into the best

15:54 - schools they get into the military

15:56 - we actually have strong people going into the

15:58 - military now as opposed to people that aren't strong

16:01 - or that shouldn't be there

16:03 - and it's like I call it central casting

16:05 - Washington d c we're using the military in there and

16:09 - our

16:09 - crime rates down ninety two percent

16:12 - and it's gone from an unsafe city to one of the safest cities the capital

16:16 - one of the safest cities anywhere in the country restaurants are booming the

16:21 - restaurants were all closing people were afraid to go to a restaurant we took out

16:25 - over five thousand criminals we got them out of here we've got to

16:28 - send it back to their country many of them came through the

16:30 - biden opened borders which was insanity

16:33 - we got them out of this country and we.

16:36 - We did a real job in Washington d c and

16:38 - I will say Memphis is a similar kind of a thing a little

16:42 - bit we started a little bit later

16:44 - but they're down in crime seventy eight percent and

16:47 - new Orleans Louisiana the governor called me up Jeff Landry grey guy you call me and

16:51 - he said we have a problem we have the mardi gras coming up with this place is loaded

16:55 - up with crime and we sent in the national guard and others and.

17:00 - It was the safest

17:02 - that is on record the safest mardi gras.

17:06 - On record

17:06 - they've never had anything like it he call me to two

17:09 - days later he said I've never seen anything like it

17:11 - is a terrible expression he said nobody was killed well

17:14 - that doesn't sound so good to save frankly in one way but

17:17 - in another way many people would be killed

17:20 - during mardi gras

17:21 - consistently and now is the safest they've had

17:24 - he said in sixty seven years so

17:26 - it's pretty good

17:27 - but we're going out for the one point five trillion

17:29 - this year and I think we're going to be able to get it

17:32 - and we're going to get it because we have so much money coming into tariffs that made

17:36 - this country so rich and they've made this country

17:39 - so competitive

17:40 - in order to not pay tariffs

17:42 - people are coming out and they're leaving Mexico and they're leaving.

17:46 - In fact it was just announced that Toyota is leaving Mexico Toyota is going to build

17:50 - one of the largest plants in the world car plants in the world

17:53 - in Texas

17:55 - but many many

17:56 - companies a left

17:58 - said they went to Mexico Canada

18:00 - Japan Germany they went all over the place south Korea

18:04 - they are all pouring back the car plants the AI plants are all coming back if they

18:08 - don't have to pay taxes the chips

18:11 - we had this ridiculous

18:12 - act where you get billions of dollars to a company

18:14 - and they didn't even know what the hell to do with it

18:16 - you give them billions of dollars they say they're

18:18 - going to build nobody know what to do with it

18:21 - and of course the standards were so high if

18:23 - you weren't transgender as an example.

18:26 - You didn't qualify

18:28 - so

18:28 - They get the money then hired to look all over

18:31 - for trade change gender people to

18:33 - run the company large portions they couldn't find them.

18:37 - They weren't into the chip making business I guess re

18:40 - they had other things on their mind

18:42 - but this was the biden fools as idiots and almost destroyed our country

18:48 - but we're also

18:49 - reasserting the fundamental truth to be

18:51 - a strong nation you must be a manufacturing nations are manufacturing jobs

18:56 - when you see these plants start to open.

18:59 - So we're building now

19:01 - at a record

19:02 - that we've never even I don't think any country's ever approaches record again with

19:07 - nineteen point two trillion being invested

19:10 - and there's never been anything like

19:12 - you go back years and years and it's China had the record

19:15 - with three trillion dollars and we're at nineteen point two trillion as there's never

19:20 - been anything like it easy going to be starting to open in six or seven months.

19:24 - It's unfair because you know whoever the next president is going to be sitting up

19:28 - here suggests a water great job I did

19:30 - what a great job I did the greatest job Jamie he's going

19:34 - to be talking about what a brilliant president he is

19:37 - and I'll be home and I'll be saying

19:39 - something like.

19:41 - This.

19:42 - Cause we did the job

19:44 - we did the job and we're clearing every

19:46 - obstacle to building the defense industrial base

19:50 - and so many people are shaking hands back said it just came up and they said.

19:54 - We couldn't even function

19:56 - two years ago in this country we couldn't get anything built we couldn't get

19:59 - approvals we couldn't do anything

20:01 - and now we were

20:02 - we've never we cannot imagine

20:04 - the change they said

20:06 - five or six other people

20:08 - building

20:09 - defense oriented things

20:11 - they said we have no idea how this

20:13 - this has happened to this extent he said where

20:15 - we look forward to going to work we get our approvals fast.

20:19 - We came up with a concept like an AI and other things big

20:23 - rather than going to our old very old and fragile grid.

20:28 - We maintain it but it's old and

20:30 - not up to date it

20:31 - was let go by a lot of people that were

20:34 - in my position they shouldn't have done that but.

20:36 - I came up with the idea to let them build their own

20:39 - power plants so they believe their own power plant so.

20:42 - People would comply Lane about

20:44 - the grid but

20:45 - actually they're giving their excess electricity

20:48 - back into the grid as a phenomenal thing but

20:50 - they're coming up with power they're doing their

20:53 - own they're they're really becoming a utility

20:56 - they're becoming actually in addition to AI they're also

20:59 - becoming utility and they're building some of the greatest

21:02 - power plants

21:03 - anyway one has ever seen we don't want wind because it's

21:06 - terrible

21:07 - does it work these countries that go to when

21:09 - you go to when you lose your way you go out of business look at what's happening in the

21:13 - united kingdom wind all over the place

21:15 - as it

21:16 - doesn't work too expensive.

21:18 - Everything's made in China

21:20 - and remember you have to replace them after eight or nine years you know it's one

21:23 - several of them were there but you gotta replace them all

21:25 - the time because they were out the salt water kills them

21:28 - it's ridiculous and.

21:30 - We have

21:31 - the oil and gas we have the

21:33 - a number of people back there with the nuclear nuclear site has become safe

21:37 - and we gotta keep it safe but it's become safe but we have a

21:41 - tremendous

21:42 - new things happening ing and

21:44 - some of these power plants that are being used for AI and other things

21:48 - that they are building are so far advanced for what you used to when you look at con

21:53 - Edison you look at the old companies it's fine they get the job done but these are

21:58 - tremendous advancements that nobody would have ever

22:01 - come up with except for this group of

22:03 - c seriously brilliant people

22:05 - after decades of foreign countries ransack in Pennsylvania and all of our country

22:10 - they ransacked our country and stealing our jobs I imposed historic tariffs to

22:15 - protect the American copper aluminum steel

22:18 - and many many other projects like cars

22:21 - and

22:22 - because of that.

22:24 - They're all coming back this could have been done by a president

22:28 - if he knew you wouldn't have a Taiwan

22:30 - making

22:30 - one hundred percent of the chips.

22:32 - I think by the time I leave will be will have

22:35 - almost fifty percent of the chips being made

22:37 - in the united states worldwide

22:39 - they're moving here like you wouldn't believe it.

22:43 - Though with

22:47 - no investment

22:48 - I'm not giving people billions of dollars I'm not saying

22:52 - to some chip company his

22:54 - thirty billion dollars good luck in finding a site

22:57 - that's what this stupid chip set was

22:59 - hundreds of billions of dollars just wasted

23:02 - half of the people every way use the money I didn't give them ten cents I said.

23:06 - You're going to pay nothing for two for a year.

23:09 - After that you're going to pay ten percent after

23:11 - that you're going to pay twenty five percent

23:13 - gives you two and a half years to build your factory

23:16 - if you don't build it by that time you pay two hundred percent.

23:20 - Meaning you're sending ships in

23:22 - every two hundred per cent tariff.

23:24 - They are building like crazy

23:26 - and the biggest ship company in the world is building and

23:28 - they just announced that they are expanding by another

23:30 - two hundred billion in spending

23:32 - most of their money in Arizona a great place to invest

23:36 - but they're spending an extra two hundred billion

23:38 - dollars it's the biggest chip company in the world

23:41 - but we pass the largest tax cuts in American history we

23:44 - delivered one hundred percent ex pen sing that's a big one

23:47 - gets I think we had the greatest economy in the history of our country in my first term

23:52 - we then got hit with covert but even including covert we

23:54 - did a great job and covered we never got credit for it

23:57 - but every country was ripped apart by that disaster.

24:02 - We know where it came from it came from move on

24:05 - and I said that

24:07 - but we were all ripped apart in China got hit very very

24:09 - hard it was delayed they got hit very hard at the end

24:12 - but

24:14 - it was a terrible thing but we had the greatest economy in history and before covert

24:20 - nobody had ever seen anything like it but have huge just took those three years

24:24 - and

24:25 - look at what we're doing now we're going to blow him away I mean unless

24:28 - some horrible event happens which is always possible you

24:32 - always have to.

24:33 - At least think about the horrible events who

24:35 - would have thought that covert could have

24:37 - happened a thing like that could have happened but.

24:39 - We delivered one hundred percent ex pen sing and at ex pen sing

24:43 - I think we write it off in one year I have friends that

24:46 - bought things that frankly they didn't need I have a friend that never flew on a

24:49 - private plane in his life and he ended up going

24:51 - out buying a very expensive private plane.

24:53 - Because of ex pen sing one year

24:55 - and a lot of you you're building your plants more importantly than an example like

24:59 - that you are building your plant and equipment

25:01 - Jamie can expand his bank write off everything in the first year

25:06 - and you're doing a nice job your building is beautiful by the way

25:09 - great

25:10 - you can write that sucker off in one year can you believe it

25:13 - how that stands up there that still I want to

25:15 - know that steel contractor he did a good job

25:18 - great job actually

25:19 - but we deliberate one hundred percent and.

25:22 - I felt that was very important to do so and it goes for a ten year period.

25:26 - So it does judges I actually want to make it for one year.

25:29 - Because if we get everybody's going to come

25:31 - ten years is too long but we had a couple of

25:34 - senators that really wanted including a man named Lindsey Graham who we love

25:38 - and Lindsay we pay your respect because he was some

25:41 - special guy Lindsay David was

25:44 - a big proponent of ten years instead of one another

25:46 - words you could use this for ten years or is that a one

25:49 - as it but Lindsay ten years is too long it let them

25:52 - it let it gives them too much time he said oh no we have to do this I said oh go

25:56 - ahead Lindsay what the hell do you know about business Lindsay.

26:00 - Buddy was it was great we are going to miss him

26:03 - ray David we're going to miss that guy what what a

26:06 - way he was.

26:07 - This

26:13 - is a guy just thinking he's a guy that we

26:16 - some people you don't appreciate until they're not here right

26:19 - and you just

26:20 - all the quality that he

26:22 - got things done.

26:23 - He could even deal with democrats if I needed a democrat.

26:27 - I can go Lindsay and Lizzie would take em out in wining and dining

26:31 - say I got them for you right

26:33 - there aren't too many people could do that David and I

26:36 - know it very well

26:37 - but the ex pen sing was so important I think it's really what.

26:41 - Led to the tremendous success because we had it in the first year

26:44 - and in the first administration and I think that was what led to

26:48 - single

26:49 - the

26:49 - single most important thing I think in terms of investment was

26:53 - the one year ex pen sing I think

26:54 - people were building

26:56 - sometimes maybe they shouldn't have been but they

26:58 - were building at levels and then he caught up.

27:01 - We passed the largest regulation cuts in American history by far and

27:05 - we unleashed American energy including pencil

27:08 - Anya oil gas and clean beautiful coal were

27:11 - back in Nicole beziers we get we have so much

27:14 - so much

27:15 - technology and changes have been made in

27:17 - coal and in the trump administration you're not allowed to use the word go without

27:21 - preceding it by the words clean beautiful

27:24 - and

27:25 - Chris Wright who you know so well and

27:27 - Doug burgum they've done

27:29 - a fantastic team

27:31 - and

27:32 - they were making a speech

27:34 - and I said

27:35 - nobody can say call without preceding it with

27:37 - clean beautiful but this whole speech was on call

27:40 - and they kept saying clean beautiful coal clean beautiful cook

27:44 - and I said okay it's enough.

27:47 - But it is it's an look you know I hate to say but it's what

27:51 - China uses they're building now fifty eight massive

27:54 - coal plants and you know they're responsible for

27:58 - building the windmills that they said how many windmills are they building

28:01 - in terms of using on their land John I want to know.

28:05 - If you see any let us know

28:07 - they get coal plants all over the place but they build the windmills but they're the

28:11 - only one they have that I know of is one that they want

28:14 - to use they use it to they don't use in terms of energy

28:17 - they showed people look how beautiful this is

28:19 - as those poor suckers buy those windmills

28:22 - lose their ears

28:23 - but it's it's a terrible form of energy most expensive form of energy

28:28 - is intermittent does it work and in my opinion it kills the environment it kills

28:32 - kills the birds but it's visually

28:35 - it's terrible it's it's terrible it's a terrible thing and.

28:38 - I'm proud to say that we have approved almost none I think none

28:43 - but we are

28:44 - there everybody's under an order no one we don't

28:47 - the windmills wouldn't want them

28:49 - and let

28:50 - somebody else use them

28:51 - but everybody using them is in

28:53 - a very big trouble

28:55 - they're in

28:56 - energy trouble

28:57 - because they don't work

28:59 - and very expensive most expensive form of energy and they don't work

29:03 - and I've been saying it for four or five years and people still buy them

29:06 - maybe not quite like they used to but people still buy them it's crazy

29:10 - but we unleashed American energy including

29:13 - the Pennsylvania oil and the Pennsylvania oil is doing

29:16 - unbelievably well we saved the

29:18 - great American company us steel

29:21 - and I work with Selena zito I dunno saline is here Sally the hair she's so

29:26 - where's selina

29:27 - is there a swear is Sally and I love Selena

29:30 - whereas the queen of the rustbelt

29:32 - but you no longer the rustbelt you're really the money belt ave name

29:35 - Selena are you here.

29:38 - Come on up here solana where.

29:40 - She's the queen.

29:42 - She is the queen of the rust belt.

29:46 - Now she's the queen of them and be careful don't fall down the stairs like biden.

29:51 - Come on solana get down here grandpa or everybody I

29:54 - want to show you a woman that knows what she's doing.

29:58 - Though I had no idea she'd be here but anything having

30:04 - to do with Pennsylvania any of these great states

30:09 - she's around.

30:10 - So late I want to thank you you're really

30:12 - talented

30:13 - that's only because she writes so well about me.

30:15 - He wrote badly I'd say

30:17 - get her to I a at a

30:20 - Selena thank you honey very much we appreciate it really amazing.

30:25 - That she loved these years you love the people as you saw it going to hell

30:32 - and she knew more about it than anybody else and she also knew it had

30:36 - more potential because of the people that as you would write about it like

30:41 - nobody would believe and she's

30:43 - one of the top writers in the country and she I hate to say that she writes

30:46 - for the Washington post

30:48 - but she's one of as one of her many analysts I hate to mention that

30:52 - but

30:53 - but she's done a phenomenal job of explaining what's going on

30:57 - and she really just believed in the area but you believed in the people of the area

31:00 - they're incredible you're going to find all of you genius at building

31:04 - your plans

31:05 - you got the best people in the world work in here

31:07 - so just to finish up.

31:10 - We did

31:11 - more in terms of regulation cut

31:13 - cuts by

31:14 - five times six times and even in some cases depending on

31:17 - the way you look at it seven times in a year the president.

31:21 - We delivered no tax on tips

31:24 - no tax on overtime and no tax on

31:27 - social security

31:28 - and we're building a beautiful the military complex and a ballroom combination.

31:34 - At the white house and they were working on Saturday and Sunday partially Sunday

31:39 - and I went and visited a couple of hundred men that

31:42 - were working round the clock on Saturday night late

31:45 - very late eleven o'clock in the evening

31:46 - and I said.

31:48 - You're so lucky I'm president because

31:51 - there is no tax on overtime

31:53 - think of it

31:54 - there may get a lot of money and there's no tax on overdrive

31:56 - but there's no tax on tips no tax on social security

31:59 - and that's been good and

32:01 - the other thing we did which seems simple but never done before

32:05 - when you buy an automobile some people have to pay and

32:08 - they have to go and borrow money from a bank you're allowed to dig deduct

32:11 - the interest payment from your income taxes

32:14 - and that's a big deal but only if the car

32:17 - is made in america

32:19 - so

32:20 - I spend a great show at

32:21 - all of these things have added up

32:23 - to a level that we're just we're booming

32:25 - the country is booming and we'll have

32:28 - Iran defeated soon

32:29 - there'll be defeated very soon then I guess it'll be

32:35 - even better but you know even during this has been

32:40 - it's been amazing I mean

32:42 - to think

32:42 - so I call it a military operation but

32:45 - I call it whatever you want it's

32:47 - incredible and say

32:49 - it hasn't

32:50 - made a dent a lot of people the oil rig up to

32:51 - three hundred and fifty dollars a barrel and is

32:54 - today is at seventy nine dollars a

32:57 - couple of days ago

32:58 - it was at sixty eight

33:00 - it went up a little bit because I had to take

33:02 - tough action

33:03 - because they did not.

33:06 - Obey what they're supposed to obey I mean they just didn't do it

33:09 - so we took a little action but it'll lol when that

33:12 - settles down you'll be I think you're going to have.

33:14 - Fifty five dollar oil which is all great for what you're doing maybe less than that

33:19 - but this year alone we've added eighteen thousand new manufacturing jobs and that

33:23 - number could go up by ten and fifteen times.

33:26 - As these factories begin to open including

33:29 - remember Obama used to say

33:30 - you'll never have another manufacturing job in the united states can you imagine.

33:35 - That these are the best jobs these are the highest

33:37 - paying jobs are the best jobs used to say it all the time

33:40 - people would say that so

33:42 - bad you talk about it that way but he did a bad job

33:45 - and it was very bad on Iran because he basically

33:47 - gave them the money made what a horrible deal

33:50 - he went away from Israel then he went to

33:52 - Iran and this part of the reason that we're stuck with this

33:55 - whole situation

33:57 - but including more than three thousand new manufacturing

33:59 - jobs right here in the commonwealth and the number will

34:03 - go up many times that over the next couple of years in less than

34:06 - two years ago where a dead country I say it all the time

34:10 - king of Saudi Arabia told me I was with him two years ago he said.

34:14 - You know it's amazing

34:15 - just

34:16 - a little while ago you were dead

34:18 - you were dead country

34:20 - and now you're the hottest country anywhere

34:22 - in the world everywhere I just got back from

34:24 - NATO

34:25 - every leader said

34:27 - the same thing in the hottest country anywhere in the world and they treated me like

34:31 - they're not true getting me their training because of.

34:33 - The country where the hottest country anywhere in the world

34:37 - and a year ago two years ago we were dead were dead country

34:41 - is an embarrassment.

34:42 - So now with all of that being said just yesterday it was announced that

34:47 - inflation saw the largest monthly

34:49 - decline in six years can you image Jeanette six years so

34:54 - we inherited.

34:55 - He inherited the

34:59 - highest inflation in the history of our country

35:01 - and

35:03 - it was really amazing in a way inherited it and then.

35:06 - I had my first news conference a day after I took office

35:10 - and they said

35:11 - affordability

35:12 - affordability they go

35:14 - that's a fake word that they use they cause the affordability problem

35:18 - it's called

35:18 - high prices they came up with is where

35:20 - they are good at coming up with words

35:22 - but we came up with a good word to the democrats dumb

35:26 - you take the the b out most people don't know the dumb has to be okay

35:30 - but the

35:31 - u replaces

35:33 - the

35:34 - and you have a democrat and I g just don't understand because their policies are so

35:38 - dumb what they've done to this country and what they will do to the country if we

35:42 - don't win the midterms or win the election

35:44 - everything that I'm talking about you could just write it off

35:47 - because it'll revert back to open borders it'll

35:50 - revert back to ridiculous high interest rates

35:53 - and again we should have the lowest interest rate

35:55 - of any country anywhere in the world because we make them all saying but since I took

36:00 - office defense investments in Pennsylvania are up by nearly twenty five percent

36:05 - compared to crooked Joe biden and

36:07 - today we're adding

36:09 - ten billion I think the number is going to end

36:11 - up being about nineteen or twenty billion dollars

36:14 - and we'll be building two massive national security multi mission vessels

36:19 - at the beautiful and historic Philadelphia shipyard a metal all the

36:22 - guys doing this

36:23 - worth up to one point five billion dollars and it's a purchase of

36:27 - lots of vessels we're going to have a lot of vessels

36:30 - being made there

36:31 - were also thinking about doing some purchases

36:33 - outside of companies that come here and.

36:36 - Build after re teachers you know we used to make a ship a day

36:40 - and now we're a laggard in that department we do

36:42 - lots of great things but we're a laggard there

36:45 - and a lot of our shipyards were sold for

36:48 - real estate projects are in the water I bought one actually it was quite nicely

36:52 - located but I didn't know I'd be president if I

36:54 - knew I'd be president I wouldn't have done it etc

36:56 - have a shipyard right

36:58 - but it worked out okay you know they had the

37:00 - best locations a lot of those locations were so

37:03 - and we have to build our Navy beat red we gotta get going

37:06 - so we're going to probably look at some of these

37:08 - companies that are coming in

37:10 - from south Korea and other places and they're working with us on ships and.

37:15 - We're going to also build

37:16 - we're going also so buy

37:17 - some ships that are made outside of the area

37:21 - and we're going to have a lot of we need a lot of ships for our Navy

37:24 - a lot of ships despite the fact we have the greatest

37:27 - Navy in the world but our ships are getting older

37:29 - and we really got outta that business

37:31 - we built

37:32 - an aircraft carrier for nineteen billion dollars

37:35 - which is crazy the price is crazy it started off at.

37:39 - I came in one of the first things I want to see

37:41 - was the Ford aircraft carrier was way over budget

37:44 - and it had.

37:47 - It had things on it that

37:48 - you didn't need like.

37:50 - It had

37:51 - magnet.

37:53 - Magnets to lift up the elevators with

37:55 - ten and twelve planes on them.

37:57 - Make of it it had

37:59 - all sorts of

38:00 - modern day things that were all

38:03 - instead of using steam

38:05 - for the catapults they used electric

38:07 - let's have an electric catapult

38:10 - and so what I went through the ship because I came into office and

38:13 - his ship was way over budget

38:15 - built in Newport news unfortunately

38:17 - was way over budget it was going to cost

38:20 - three billion it was up to like

38:22 - eighteen nineteen it was terrible

38:25 - and I said I want to meet the catapult her

38:27 - and a man came over along with four of his assistance and I said what's better

38:32 - electric catapult or steam he's been there for

38:34 - twenty five years he said steam is better or

38:38 - we can fix it with a hammer and a blowtorch when

38:41 - the electric goes bad after send the mit to get geniuses over here.

38:45 - I said steam is berryessa or it's better

38:48 - so why did they do electric because you can have the catapult go like this

38:52 - but you can't put planes on it sir

38:54 - it takes you thirty nine seconds by the time the

38:56 - thirty nine seconds is up you have a full head of steam

39:00 - and I love breathing that steam sir that said cleanest air you've ever seen

39:04 - but it says to you're saying we spent billions

39:06 - of dollars has extra to build electric catapults

39:10 - instead of using

39:11 - and I said what else do you hear he said.

39:13 - The elevators are no good sir

39:15 - they lifted up by magnets so here's my deal.

39:19 - I said when caterpillar tractor and I watched I

39:22 - watched more tractors than any human being on earth

39:25 - rip earth

39:25 - rip rock right through rock

39:27 - it's all hydraulic

39:29 - so I said

39:30 - when caterpillar goes into the business of

39:33 - using

39:34 - magnets

39:35 - to lift up their

39:36 - little

39:37 - blades

39:38 - when they go in and when they go away from hydraulic.

39:41 - I'll tell you what I'm going to do something I'm going to start using magnets but we

39:45 - don't want to use them so we're not letting any

39:47 - Pete

39:47 - we're not letting any more ships rebuilt with

39:50 - the ridiculous snip

39:52 - billions of dollars more they spent on.

39:55 - Electric catapults

39:56 - and they're not good

39:58 - they're not nearly as good

40:00 - too complex

40:01 - and by the way we had to call the ship in twice

40:04 - because they catapulted work and I predicted that was Phil

40:07 - and the same thing with the the

40:09 - magnetic elevators we want them to be

40:12 - made hydraulic which you can it can be hit by

40:15 - lightning it can be hit by anything

40:17 - when a little water touches the magnets it doesn't work

40:19 - anymore you're writing you're in the Atlantic ocean

40:22 - with waves that are sixty feet high

40:25 - and the pacific ocean with waves that is seventy

40:29 - and

40:29 - they're talking about magnets it makes you want to get sick.

40:32 - I actually called in the architect of the ship

40:47 - middle is supposed to be in the middle we have more room I say why do you move a

40:50 - while we thought into is very good why did you do it

41:46 - roads industries to build Navy submarines if

41:49 - they make the greatest submarine in the world we are

41:52 - we we're ten years advanced over probably Russia is number two.

41:57 - We have to make them faster that's the only thing we need submarines

42:00 - but they make a great product in all the cases we make.

42:04 - If you look at the patriot missile.

42:07 - If you look at the tomahawk which is the offensive if you look at all of the things

42:11 - they're better we have to make them faster that's the only thing and

42:13 - then you gotta get them going a little bit right

46:24 - is one thing we don't for some reason.

46:27 - It's not complex not hard.

46:30 - We have the material for some reason they just don't.

46:33 - Little dude we need magnets so

46:35 - one of you companies out there go out and teach you how to make money just do it

46:40 - companies like

46:41 - avalon creators advanced cooling technologies

46:45 - sphere break defense jp Morgan chase and cue intel among many others will be

46:50 - expanding their investments all across

46:53 - the common the wealth of Pennsylvania

46:55 - in addition the defense subsidiary of

46:57 - the legendary Pennsylvania company mack trucks oh I met him

47:01 - the other day whereas mr mack truck where they allow you

47:04 - we were he was he was great making a beautiful thank you

47:08 - thank you very much.

47:09 - Making a beautiful truck

47:11 - he's trying to sell fifteen thousand of them

47:13 - to us fifteen I said how many are you looking

47:16 - to

47:17 - Serve fifteen thousand I've already said fifteen because it's a big beautiful drug

47:22 - I made a speech

47:23 - to three weeks ago

47:24 - and data sample of the truck right behind where I spoke.

47:28 - It made me look very small sort of like dukakis remember in the tech.

47:34 - I say get that truck the hell outta here

47:36 - I immediately

47:38 - I immediately thought of dukakis with the helmet and the

47:41 - massive helmet the massive tank and you

47:43 - you didn't even see him that was not good

47:45 - he went down twenty points after that.

47:48 - So I say get the hell they get that truck out but the truck was amazing actually but

47:52 - I said how many is it for fifteen thousand I thought he said fifteen so I said he's

47:56 - going to sell fifteen that's a lot of drugs

47:58 - should know actually fifteen thousand sir

48:01 - so but it's a beautiful truck and I think he's got a good shot at doing it

48:05 - and it'll be building to two hundred and twenty two

48:08 - million dollars worth of powerful new vehicles for

48:11 - our military already and a different truck

48:13 - and mack truck is doing really well and they've been great

48:17 - and because we're here in Pennsylvania where state trooper Michael

48:21 - ferro was killed just

48:23 - two weeks ago by an illegal alien operating a semi-truck on a

48:27 - commercial driver's license which he should never have had

48:30 - he should he was here illegally came in through biden.

48:33 - Today

48:34 - making one more important announcement my

48:36 - administration will soon take historic action

48:39 - to get an illegal alien truck drivers who are just

48:41 - killing a lot of people they can't read signs.

48:44 - Many of them are

48:46 - on drugs

48:47 - or alcohol

48:49 - and they shouldn't be driving these things and they're

48:51 - there they came in totally illegally a they.

48:55 - We don't want them

48:56 - but they are driving

48:58 - all over American roadways and

49:00 - we're going to replace them with a proud American veterans who are going to take our

49:04 - veterans who are going to make them

49:06 - we're going to teach them a lot about driving trucks and in many cases they know

49:09 - we're going to say any American who's driven every

49:12 - truck for our military will automatically to

49:14 - be eligible for a commercial driver's license

49:17 - so we're going to get them

49:19 - taking caffeine and the radical left

49:25 - is very much opposed to that but it doesn't matter what they want because we're the

49:28 - ones that are running and adjust to

49:30 - to finish I want to thank our great speaker of

49:33 - the house Mike Johnson who fantastic that man

49:37 - and the house

49:41 - budget chairman Jody arrington for

49:43 - launching an effort to get the save america act passed

49:47 - including

49:48 - voter I mean it's so

49:50 - so basic

49:51 - voter photo ID identification

49:54 - proof of citizenship and hopefully no corrupt

49:57 - melon ballots will have

49:59 - exceptions for the military while exceptions for

50:02 - disability for people that are

50:04 - not feeling well off or people that are on vacation or anything

50:08 - we will make it very easy

50:09 - but the mail-in ballots you see what happens in

50:12 - California the vote still isn't counted can you believe it

50:15 - which like what six weeks the vote still is encounter did

50:18 - but the kid really

50:20 - he was he was.

50:21 - He was Spencer Pratt I dunno Spencer Pratt he came to the white house and saw me

50:26 - but Spencer Pratt was

50:28 - an automatic lock and

50:30 - he didn't make it there was a little thing Dina they said when expenses are

50:34 - fully behind a woman that nobody ever heard of he's falling behind

50:38 - now is very key

50:39 - we're going to do that to Steve Hilton too and I had the u s attorney did a great job

50:44 - he started an investigation they said Steve Hilton is starting to fall badly behind

50:49 - and I said that doesn't mean falling behind that means

50:51 - shootings going on this is two weeks after the election.

50:54 - So I got the us attorney involved and.

50:57 - Like twenty minutes after they made that statement

51:00 - they said

51:00 - Steve I just made the right off.

51:03 - These crooked people.

51:05 - Use it crooked people

51:07 - all thing is terrible

51:08 - but along with our incredible farmers and funding for our troops so we're getting a

51:12 - tremendous amount of funding for our farmers and

51:15 - we take care of our troops we got them a great

51:18 - pay raise

51:19 - but I support those efforts that were cheering them on and

51:22 - the actions that we've announced today will create

51:24 - thousands of new Pennsylvania jobs and they'll

51:27 - make our entire nation stronger and more prosperous than ever before

51:31 - we have the strongest

51:33 - nation that we've ever had

51:35 - we have the most successful nation

51:37 - that we've ever had we've never had a thing happen

51:39 - so to many people the biggest people came a financial paper said

51:43 - sir

51:43 - I've been in business for thirty five years one gentleman.

51:47 - He looked like a young man but he said thirty five years so he blew it

51:50 - but he said I've been in business for thirty five years I've never seen anything like

51:54 - what's happening right now I think I'll bet Jamie would

51:56 - say that abidjan would say that there's never been a

51:59 - has never been a period of time like this I want to thank

52:02 - again senator mccormick once again yen for this.

52:05 - Incredible

52:06 - get together but really much more important for the outstanding

52:09 - work that he's doing as a senator he's an incredible

52:13 - person and Pennsylvania has never had a greater warrior the

52:16 - u s and then

52:18 - Dave mccormick and

52:19 - it's an honor to be with you all and.

52:22 - We're going to do things that nobody would believe if you go back

52:25 - to new years where we were a failing nation nobody would believe that we could be

52:29 - doing business and we could be all even safety

52:32 - the lowest

52:33 - murder number

52:34 - since nineteen hundred

52:36 - think of that

52:38 - the lowest number since nineteen hundred

52:40 - hundred and twenty five years ago.

52:43 - Nobody would believe we have the lowest crime numbers this spite the fact

52:47 - that millions and millions of people came into

52:49 - our country illegally and many of them were.

52:53 - They're gone now

52:54 - but many of them were

52:56 - from prisons

52:58 - they were drug addicts

53:00 - they were from mental institutions

53:02 - we have the lowest crime numbers we've had in decades and the lowest murder number in

53:06 - one hundred and twenty five years so

53:08 - it's really been amazing and.

53:10 - David I'll give it to you I'll turn it out but justice is done

53:13 - with so many people that I've.

53:15 - I respect so much I don't know all of you I know many of you through

53:19 - reputation through reading

53:21 - but you're an amazing group of people and you really are making our country great

53:25 - thank you very much thank you mr craft thank you sir

53:38 - we we are so honored to have you here I know you've got a special love for

53:41 - Pennsylvania and Pennsylvania has a special love for you

53:44 - and this is all about your vision of peace through strength

53:48 - and what's happening here at this summit is

53:50 - really all the the people we need in the room the

53:53 - the prime contractors the

53:55 - energy

53:56 - leaders the emergent technologies the the the leaders in labor the leaders in finance

54:01 - all the team that needs to be in place to implement your vision

54:05 - so if somebody with you what what I'd like to do is

54:07 - turn to the secretary of war

54:09 - let him make some remarks and then and then

54:12 - draw in some of the

54:13 - the business leaders we have here and

54:15 - I'll say the the one that little stories when

54:17 - I was on the campaign trail with the president

54:19 - one time I walked off the stage and he said

54:22 - you know what I like about you

54:23 - he said you don't talk too much he said

54:26 - you

54:27 - you don't go on and on there was somebody else there I won't say who it was

54:30 - going on and on it goes

54:31 - keep it short

54:32 - and as a wall keep it short thank you mister president.

54:35 - That

54:41 - senator that was good warning and a good reminder.

54:45 - Mr president it is true to say that there has never been

54:49 - a moment like this or a stage like this where innovators

54:53 - prime contractors

54:54 - private equity

54:56 - titans of industry

54:57 - labor leaders defense leaders have come together for

55:01 - this type of moment there's never been a moment

55:03 - like this with the aperture he has opened up

55:06 - inside the department of defense

55:08 - for defense and the second word

55:10 - innovation

55:11 - your demand of me

55:13 - as a business leader and a builder

55:15 - is that we move at the speed of business

55:17 - and competition

55:18 - in speed

55:19 - and scale and that's what these folks have funded and founded in their companies

55:25 - but our bureaucracy was built to keep most of you out

55:29 - and we've been waging a war of attrition against the Pentagon bureaucracy

55:34 - to open up the aperture and make sure competition

55:37 - in speed and innovation and commercial

55:39 - options

55:40 - are

55:41 - have a seat at the table

55:42 - not just great prime contractors who've been there for a long time

55:45 - but many of our great companies that make many of our best systems

55:48 - started to look a lot more like the government

55:50 - than they looked like business

55:52 - and so what the president does behind the resolute desk with prime contractors and

55:56 - you've been at those meetings and I've been at those meetings and

55:59 - and it's a reminder to all of us

56:01 - that our nation needs the best weapons not tomorrow but today

56:05 - and when need to we need these companies not just

56:07 - adding an extra shift to the factory

56:09 - but investing in another plant

56:11 - and another plant

56:12 - and another manufacturing line which is what's happening here in Pennsylvania

56:16 - in all around the country

56:17 - so when you talk about the arsenal of freedom

56:20 - this is only something that a builder in chief could unleash and you're doing it sir

56:24 - an American manual factoring in our industrial base across the country in energy

56:29 - but in defense specifically

56:31 - this is a generational investment

56:34 - in the future of our war fighting capabilities

56:36 - that our country has not seen since Ronald Reagan and this one is bigger

56:40 - because what Joe biden and previous administrations

56:43 - did to our military you you talk about a dead can.

56:46 - Or

56:46 - We had a dead department

56:48 - a department of defense

56:50 - that was doing things the old way sending the same money in the wrong direction

56:54 - a red tape

56:55 - and and and monopolizing certain certain platforms

56:59 - and you said we won't do it anymore and American war prior requires that we change

57:03 - how we do these things and we're going to hold the big guys accountable

57:06 - which is what you do behind the resolute desk with

57:08 - executive orders and no stock buybacks and no more delays

57:11 - and we demand that you build new plants

57:13 - and then we're also going to make sure the new runners the fast runners the young

57:16 - guys the companies the tech companies

57:19 - are best innovators

57:20 - have the ability to get into the defense department

57:23 - you shouldn't have to sue your way in

57:25 - to the department of war

57:26 - which is what companies in the past have had to do in order to compete

57:30 - I hope these companies can do a test the fact

57:32 - that because of president trump's leadership

57:34 - we have an entirely different

57:36 - department

57:37 - we.

57:38 - Of.

57:40 - Then it's important because we're in an entirely different

57:47 - moment not only do we have near peer adversaries with historic military buildups

57:52 - but we're at a step-change moment.

57:54 - AI frontier models autonomy quantum space hypersonic

57:58 - you name it if you're ahead now and you you get ahead of the game you're going to be

58:02 - way ahead if you fall behind now you fall even further

58:05 - behind the have nots and halves or that that gap

58:08 - is widening president trump seized the moment

58:11 - and is

58:12 - investing in it in our department but across government

58:15 - to make sure the twenty first century

58:17 - is an American century but he's demanding that we do it differently we do it enough

58:20 - fiscally responsible way we audit our department

58:23 - we ensure that the money that we ask for

58:25 - is well spent

58:27 - so we've got a different department

58:29 - a different moment and thank god we have

58:31 - a different president who rebuilt the military once

58:34 - he's doing it again

58:36 - and is willing to make a historic investment

58:38 - one point five trillion dollar investment

58:40 - in the war department

58:42 - to ensure that we out compete

58:44 - without question

58:45 - every other nation on

58:47 - planet earth so that things like Venezuela

58:50 - can continue to be done to reestablish deterrence around the world

58:53 - but that next midnight hammer that's required ten twenty years down the road is

58:57 - is because of the f forty seven

58:59 - and the beach twenty one one

59:01 - and the autonomy and the carriers

59:03 - that this president will build because of this historic investment the golden dome

59:07 - that protects our country the AI that allows us to target faster

59:10 - this investment is fundamentally will fundamentally change the battlefield

59:14 - keep the American people safe now

59:16 - and into the future and it would not happen

59:19 - with Donald trump mr president thank you very much.

59:22 - Thank you mr secretary thanks thanks for everything you're doing

59:29 - you know last year it was almost a year to the day mr president where you were in

59:33 - Pittsburgh for the energy and innovation summit the Dean and I hosted

59:36 - and one of the biggest announcements on that day was John gray

59:39 - from black stone a twenty five billion dollar announcement and so

59:42 - I thought we might start with a year later

59:45 - here's where we are and I think

59:46 - what you're hearing from the business leaders

59:47 - in this from the people in Pennsylvania is

59:49 - it the the

59:51 - amount of investment and the level of activity is on fire

59:54 - and John's a perfect example of that so giant

59:56 - 056 he could just give us a quick update sure.

01:00 - 02.456 It's great to be here in Pennsylvania

01:00 - 05.345 president trump I want to start by thanking you

01:00 - 08.146 for the deep commitment to supporting investment

01:00 - 12.046 in American innovation in infrastructure AI

01:00 - 13.496 and defense.

01:00 - 15.266 Center mccormick

01:00 - 17.506 I want to commend you once again and in a

01:00 - 21.406 for hosting a summit here in Pennsylvania focused on the vital

01:00 - 24.514 national imperatives we were together a year ago in

01:00 - 27.466 Pittsburgh we announced that twenty five billion dollars

01:00 - 31.336 in digital and energy infrastructure we said we'd do it over a decade

01:00 - 34.516 since then we've acquired multiple data center sites

01:00 - 37.426 we've made enormous progress in our joint venture

01:00 - 39.926 with local utility ppl

01:00 - 41.476 and we're proud to report

01:00 - 45.028 that we're on track to invest forty billion dollars

01:01 - 06.928 deliver meaningful benefits to communities

01:01 - 12.218 and help ensure that america because stays at the forefront of the AI race.

01:01 - 14.793 This would not have happened without the conference

01:01 - 17.218 that you and the president hosted last year

01:01 - 19.221 we also got tremendous support from the

01:01 - 22.118 governor in terms of infrastructure development.

01:01 - 26.038 Everybody loves to complain that things are not working in the united states

01:01 - 27.578 while in Pennsylvania

01:01 - 30.063 they're working the way the f founders intended two hundred

01:01 - 32.908 and fifty years ago to congratulations to all of you.

01:01 - 35.308 I would also just say last year

01:01 - 39.718 we talked about building critical infrastructure to power the innovation economy

01:01 - 41.308 today we're talking about

01:01 - 42.868 applying that innovation

01:01 - 44.788 to our most important priority

01:01 - 47.038 protecting our national security

01:01 - 51.938 at black stone were incredible very proud to be all in on both of these objectives

01:01 - 57.148 technology is as the secretary noted fundamentally reshaping the national defense

01:01 - 00.538 it's going to require enormous amounts of private capital

01:02 - 02.908 not only to invest in the new innovation

01:02 - 05.398 but also to scale up production

01:02 - 07.528 and capacity constrained world

01:02 - 08.968 and black stone Israel

01:02 - 11.158 ready to help in a very big way

01:02 - 13.529 we've already invested twenty billion dollars

01:02 - 16.228 in defense and aerospace in the last five years

01:02 - 19.198 we expect the scale and pace of that investment

01:02 - 21.658 to increase meaningfully from here

01:02 - 25.678 we see national security as a compelling place to deploy capital

01:02 - 27.508 on behalf of our investors

01:02 - 30.898 that also supports a a core American interests

01:02 - 33.778 so thank you president trump center mccormick

01:02 - 47.494 strongest voices in corporate america someone who has spoken out in very similar

01:02 - 50.344 terms as you have about peace through strength and about the need for america's

01:02 - 52.258 military and economy to be strong as

01:02 - 52.858 Jamie

01:02 - 55.039 and Jamie's really taken this on he's written

01:02 - 57.328 extensively about it and made this a priority

01:02 - 59.008 for jp Morgan in terms of

01:02 - 00.898 national defense and resilience

01:03 - 01.738 so Jamie I

01:03 - 03.718 wanted to just call on you and ask you to

01:03 - 05.248 describe why

01:03 - 07.168 you think this is a priority and

01:03 - 11.168 how the things we're doing here and the president's agenda is supporting it.

01:03 - 11.998 Thank you

01:03 - 13.448 mr president

01:03 - 15.578 or secretary or senator

01:03 - 17.008 there is nothing more important

01:03 - 18.188 for.

01:03 - 19.258 Our country

01:03 - 20.363 in fact I would

01:03 - 20.668 talk

01:03 - 23.368 or exaggeration save all free and Democratic world

01:03 - 25.048 that america maintain

01:03 - 26.798 the preeminent military

01:03 - 30.278 supported directly by the preeminent economy the world.

01:03 - 31.688 There's none too soon

01:03 - 32.858 we got behind

01:03 - 33.298 but

01:03 - 36.403 god knows this is now you guys have ignited

01:03 - 38.918 the American dream and you've ignited.

01:03 - 41.078 Security and resiliency

01:03 - 45.328 or reignited that arsenal of democracy that we have in this country

01:03 - 47.858 and is just critical

01:03 - 49.468 we there's a microcosmic field

01:03 - 51.414 obviously in Pennsylvania Philadelphia I was

01:03 - 53.368 at the Philadelphia Navy yard this morning

01:03 - 55.438 there's always a small piece where we're doing a

01:03 - 57.422 small piece of wood a lot of people here are doing

01:03 - 58.948 the Navy yard actually built

01:03 - 00.598 ships in the revolutionary war

01:04 - 02.068 ships in world war one

01:04 - 03.598 ships in world war two

01:04 - 05.948 it was closed down at one point

01:04 - 08.878 but the local government and the federal government reopened it up

01:04 - 11.558 you now have ships they're are going to be built there

01:04 - 14.728 by hand walked a Korean company and roads are industries

01:04 - 15.778 they're both in

01:04 - 17.248 for fiber jobs

01:04 - 19.078 people remember when they had those jobs

01:04 - 19.322 there

01:04 - 21.838 are another five thousand jobs the editors supported

01:04 - 24.158 large mall vendors contractors.

01:04 - 25.588 Etc

01:04 - 26.978 and we're also helping

01:04 - 30.238 very importantly to ignite that American dream party to get

01:04 - 30.838 the

01:04 - 32.548 key kids where they are older younger

01:04 - 34.288 wherever their backgrounds were trained

01:04 - 35.808 and there's a school they are

01:04 - 38.008 partially behind more impartial by the government

01:04 - 40.228 or to train welders these welders

01:04 - 42.388 get paid while they're in their apprenticeship

01:04 - 45.218 they get health care whether an apprenticeship when they graduate

01:04 - 47.062 I think after sixteen weeks or something like

01:04 - 49.138 that they make eighty thousand dollars a year

01:04 - 52.328 that is the American dream they're going to buy a house house.

01:04 - 54.328 Get married have a family etc

01:04 - 57.608 and this is one small effort that's one microcosm

01:04 - 00.397 we need to do this around the nation in fact to help some

01:05 - 02.728 of the other nations around the world friends and allies

01:05 - 04.618 do the best they can to rebuild

01:05 - 06.388 their militaries so my

01:05 - 09.094 are up I applaud everyone this room has helped with this effort

01:05 - 11.379 there's nothing more important to the role of safer for

01:05 - 11.938 children

01:05 - 33.598 at a pope air force base in north Carolina

01:05 - 35.183 and so we've known each other I guess we got

01:05 - 37.078 to know each other over the last decade or so

01:05 - 41.608 but Jim and all the major primes have big operations in Pennsylvania

01:05 - 43.973 and Jim I think have an you have an announcement

01:11 - 40.500 One ship a year to twenty ships a year

01:13 - 31.063 I

01:13 - 34.390 Live here in Pennsylvania and the.

01:13 - 36.900 The atmosphere that you've created

01:13 - 40.030 are under your leadership secretary head chef.

01:13 - 42.370 Senator mccormack

01:13 - 45.810 we have invested billions of dollars in defense tech

01:13 - 48.270 because we know that we need it

01:13 - 50.440 we know that we have to.

01:13 - 54.900 We we live in a dangerous world and we have to defend that we have to be leaders

01:13 - 58.770 we've invested in companies like gecko robotics here

01:13 - 00.940 in in Pittsburgh

01:14 - 02.850 and without the change

01:14 - 04.240 that you're

01:14 - 05.350 causing.

01:14 - 09.660 These things aren't possible so I just want to say thank you very much

01:14 - 13.600 and it's going to make a match massive difference for the next twenty years.

01:14 - 19.080 Hello mr president

01:14 - 23.706 one of the things that you talked about constantly on the campaign trail and then I I

01:14 - 26.690 tried to talk about as well and that you've been focused on like a laser is

01:14 - 27.730 jobs

01:14 - 31.020 and what's happening here in Pennsylvania is that

01:14 - 32.170 if you go to

01:14 - 34.290 talk to any manufacturer or any

01:14 - 35.460 any job site

01:14 - 36.900 they can get

01:14 - 39.383 the skilled workers they need because there's

01:14 - 41.820 so much new investment and activity going in so

01:14 - 43.030 we need to

01:14 - 44.940 take advantage of this moment and build

01:14 - 47.910 the workforce in Pennsylvania we have an incredibly skilled workforce

01:14 - 51.030 as I said earlier we have one hundred and ninety thousand people

01:14 - 54.270 that work in the defense industry we hope that number is going to double

01:14 - 56.100 over the next five or ten years

01:14 - 00.936 but one thing I think we can all agree on is the American dream is is going to be

01:15 - 04.350 pursued and captured by creating these great paying jobs

01:15 - 07.510 for the next generation of folks and

01:15 - 09.340 Sharma garvey who.
