1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,100
The President: Okay, go ahead.

2
00:00:02,102 --> 00:00:03,872
Who's going to make the
first presentation?

3
00:00:03,870 --> 00:00:05,240
I want to buy something.

4
00:00:05,238 --> 00:00:07,138
(laughter)

5
00:00:07,140 --> 00:00:09,310
But only if it's Made
in America, right?

6
00:00:09,309 --> 00:00:10,339
(laughter)

7
00:00:10,343 --> 00:00:11,743
Well, I want to
thank you all.

8
00:00:11,745 --> 00:00:16,755
(applause)

9
00:00:19,586 --> 00:00:21,486
And Michael was a
supporter of ours right

10
00:00:21,488 --> 00:00:23,058
from the beginning, which
I really appreciate.

11
00:00:23,056 --> 00:00:23,956
It's good to see you here.

12
00:00:23,957 --> 00:00:27,597
It's fantastic, and I
actually bought a couple

13
00:00:27,594 --> 00:00:29,534
of pillows, and
they're very good.

14
00:00:29,529 --> 00:00:30,869
I have to tell you,
they're great.

15
00:00:30,864 --> 00:00:31,534
(laughter)

16
00:00:31,531 --> 00:00:33,171
I've slept so much
better ever since.

17
00:00:33,166 --> 00:00:33,836
(laughter)

18
00:00:33,833 --> 00:00:36,873
Thank you very
much Michael.

19
00:00:36,870 --> 00:00:39,810
Good afternoon, and
welcome to the White House.

20
00:00:39,806 --> 00:00:41,946
We're here today to
continue our celebration

21
00:00:41,941 --> 00:00:46,681
of American manufacturing
as part of Made in America Week.

22
00:00:46,679 --> 00:00:49,079
The leaders and innovators
around this table create

23
00:00:49,082 --> 00:00:52,252
the products that fill our
homes, defend our nation,

24
00:00:52,252 --> 00:00:56,092
and enrich our lives, and
each one of these products

25
00:00:56,089 --> 00:00:59,759
proudly carries the
label Made in the U. S. A.

26
00:00:59,759 --> 00:01:02,499
Do you remember in the old
days we used to say Made

27
00:01:02,495 --> 00:01:03,165
in the U. S.

28
00:01:03,163 --> 00:01:07,103
A.? That was when we
really had a great pride

29
00:01:07,100 --> 00:01:11,810
in our product, and you do
but, unfortunately, we've

30
00:01:11,805 --> 00:01:14,575
lost a little something,
but we're gaining it back

31
00:01:14,574 --> 00:01:15,244
very quickly.

32
00:01:15,241 --> 00:01:17,881
You see the stock
market hit a new high.

33
00:01:17,877 --> 00:01:20,517
Jobs are the lowest
they've been, the best

34
00:01:20,513 --> 00:01:24,553
jobs report we've had
in I think 16 years.

35
00:01:24,551 --> 00:01:26,991
Unemployment numbers
fantastic, how we're

36
00:01:26,986 --> 00:01:29,326
doing, but we're also
going to take care of the

37
00:01:29,322 --> 00:01:32,792
95 million people out
there that aren't working,

38
00:01:32,792 --> 00:01:35,062
and we have to remember
that's not really part

39
00:01:35,061 --> 00:01:35,931
of the statistic.

40
00:01:35,929 --> 00:01:38,769
I've been talking about
that for a long time.

41
00:01:38,765 --> 00:01:40,805
And when we got those
great reports I kept

42
00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:43,470
saying, you know, those
numbers, whether it's 4.2,

43
00:01:43,470 --> 00:01:47,110
4.3: I said for a long
time they don't matter,

44
00:01:47,106 --> 00:01:49,246
but now I accept those
numbers very proudly.

45
00:01:49,242 --> 00:01:50,742
I say they do matter.

46
00:01:50,743 --> 00:01:53,013
But we're doing very well
with the jobs and the job

47
00:01:53,012 --> 00:01:55,412
reports and we're doing
very well with companies.

48
00:01:55,415 --> 00:01:56,745
We're really moving along.

49
00:01:56,749 --> 00:01:58,989
From day one my
administration has been

50
00:01:58,985 --> 00:02:03,125
fighting to bring back our
manufacturing jobs, and to

51
00:02:03,122 --> 00:02:06,162
crack down on foreign
countries that cheat,

52
00:02:06,159 --> 00:02:07,559
a lot of them.

53
00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:10,200
We will end the theft of
American prosperity, and

54
00:02:10,196 --> 00:02:12,836
we will stand up for our
companies, our factories,

55
00:02:12,832 --> 00:02:13,532
and our workers.

56
00:02:13,533 --> 00:02:14,703
Is that okay
with you Michael?

57
00:02:14,701 --> 00:02:15,931
Good?

58
00:02:15,935 --> 00:02:17,175
(applause)

59
00:02:17,170 --> 00:02:20,870
Michael Lindell:
(inaudible)

60
00:02:20,874 --> 00:02:24,614
The President:
Made in America is more

61
00:02:24,611 --> 00:02:27,681
than a label or a product,
and it's just something so

62
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:29,250
important to us.

63
00:02:29,249 --> 00:02:30,919
It's a stamp
of excellence.

64
00:02:30,917 --> 00:02:33,117
It's a badge of honor
and a tribute to the

65
00:02:33,119 --> 00:02:36,859
tremendous skill of the
working men and women who

66
00:02:36,856 --> 00:02:39,656
design and build these
incredible masterpieces

67
00:02:39,659 --> 00:02:42,629
and different
products of all types.

68
00:02:42,629 --> 00:02:44,999
When American workers have
a level playing field,

69
00:02:44,998 --> 00:02:47,138
they cannot be beaten.

70
00:02:47,133 --> 00:02:50,373
They have not had a level
playing field in a long

71
00:02:50,370 --> 00:02:53,770
time, but you see
what's happening.

72
00:02:53,773 --> 00:02:58,383
Step-by-step we've gotten
rid of regulations and a

73
00:02:58,378 --> 00:02:59,308
lot more are coming.

74
00:02:59,312 --> 00:03:01,382
We have some statutory
requirements where we're

75
00:03:01,381 --> 00:03:04,551
not allowed to do it until
certain dates, but they're

76
00:03:04,551 --> 00:03:06,921
coming as fast as
those dates come.

77
00:03:06,920 --> 00:03:08,890
We've opened it up and
it's made a big difference

78
00:03:08,888 --> 00:03:11,558
for the farmer, for the
homebuilder, for so many,

79
00:03:11,558 --> 00:03:13,498
and for the manufacturers.

80
00:03:13,493 --> 00:03:15,763
That's why we want to
ensure the integrity of

81
00:03:15,762 --> 00:03:17,332
the Made in America label.

82
00:03:17,330 --> 00:03:19,600
My administration is
committed to working with

83
00:03:19,599 --> 00:03:22,869
the private sector to
ensure the protection of

84
00:03:22,869 --> 00:03:25,869
Made in America and the
label through efforts like

85
00:03:25,872 --> 00:03:29,542
certification, greater
transparency, and stricter

86
00:03:29,542 --> 00:03:32,482
enforcement efforts by
agencies like the Federal

87
00:03:32,478 --> 00:03:34,278
Trade Commission.

88
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:37,550
We will have zero
tolerance for illegal

89
00:03:37,550 --> 00:03:40,120
counterfeiting, piracy,
theft, or intellectual

90
00:03:40,119 --> 00:03:44,289
property and they really:
they take our intellectual

91
00:03:44,290 --> 00:03:46,930
property like we're
a bunch of babies.

92
00:03:46,926 --> 00:03:50,626
But no longer, and false
claims that a product is

93
00:03:50,630 --> 00:03:55,600
Made in America and, as
time goes by, the value of

94
00:03:55,602 --> 00:03:57,702
Made in America is going
to be greater and greater.

95
00:03:57,704 --> 00:04:00,144
So you're going to see
more and more of this.

96
00:04:00,139 --> 00:04:01,979
There was a time when
people didn't want to use

97
00:04:01,975 --> 00:04:03,845
that name, and they
wouldn't take that name.

98
00:04:03,843 --> 00:04:06,443
Now they're taking it,
and that's because we've

99
00:04:06,446 --> 00:04:09,616
become very proud
of it again.

100
00:04:09,616 --> 00:04:12,486
Around the world the Made
in America label is the

101
00:04:12,485 --> 00:04:14,785
gold standard for
craftsmanship, quality,

102
00:04:14,787 --> 00:04:18,227
and artistry, and that is
one more reason why we

103
00:04:18,224 --> 00:04:19,364
have to protect it.

104
00:04:19,359 --> 00:04:24,469
I mean, we have to protect
it, not for you, not for

105
00:04:24,464 --> 00:04:27,234
me, but for your children,
for your grandchildren,

106
00:04:27,233 --> 00:04:29,003
because that's
what happening.

107
00:04:29,002 --> 00:04:34,312
So we must protect it from
illegal theft and from abuse.

108
00:04:34,307 --> 00:04:37,647
Made in America movement
is growing rapidly under

109
00:04:37,644 --> 00:04:40,944
my administration, and
we're more determined than

110
00:04:40,947 --> 00:04:44,947
ever to protect our jobs,
our industry, and our workers.

111
00:04:44,951 --> 00:04:49,021
Every day we are putting
America first and, as you

112
00:04:49,022 --> 00:04:52,962
know, during our
campaign I had a slogan.

113
00:04:52,959 --> 00:04:54,499
A few of you may
have heard it.

114
00:04:54,494 --> 00:04:57,694
It's called Make
America Great Again.

115
00:04:57,697 --> 00:04:59,037
Did you ever
hear that slogan?

116
00:04:59,032 --> 00:04:59,702
I think so.

117
00:04:59,699 --> 00:05:00,799
Mike has.

118
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:03,770
(applause)

119
00:05:03,770 --> 00:05:08,310
And I want to thank
our great Michael.

120
00:05:08,307 --> 00:05:10,577
Thank you Michael for
being here, by the way,

121
00:05:10,576 --> 00:05:14,516
and Secretary Acosta is
here, and you have done a

122
00:05:14,514 --> 00:05:17,684
fantastic job in a very
short period of time, and

123
00:05:17,684 --> 00:05:19,454
I know you're going to say
a few words, so why don't

124
00:05:19,452 --> 00:05:20,122
you go ahead?

125
00:05:20,119 --> 00:05:21,419
Thank you Mr. Secretary.

126
00:05:21,421 --> 00:05:24,221
Secretary Alex Acosta:
Mr. President, thank you,

127
00:05:24,223 --> 00:05:25,623
and thank you for
your leadership.

128
00:05:25,625 --> 00:05:30,965
While we were waiting for
you to walk in, we had

129
00:05:30,963 --> 00:05:34,503
short conversations, and I
just wanted to tell you a

130
00:05:34,500 --> 00:05:38,770
few things that I heard
from your guests here today.

131
00:05:38,771 --> 00:05:41,111
American workers are
the best in the world.

132
00:05:41,107 --> 00:05:43,407
American workers
are passionate.

133
00:05:43,409 --> 00:05:46,079
Made in America matters
because when products are

134
00:05:46,079 --> 00:05:50,179
Made in America, Americans
care about what they're doing.

135
00:05:50,183 --> 00:05:52,023
They care about the
products because they know

136
00:05:52,018 --> 00:05:56,518
the product impacts
American lives, and so

137
00:05:56,522 --> 00:06:00,492
those are examples of what
your guests here told me,

138
00:06:00,493 --> 00:06:03,833
and I think examples of
why Made in America is so

139
00:06:03,830 --> 00:06:08,030
important to this nation,
to the economy, and to

140
00:06:08,034 --> 00:06:08,864
this nation's workers.

141
00:06:08,868 --> 00:06:11,108
And so thank you for your
leadership on this issue.

142
00:06:11,104 --> 00:06:12,674
President Donald Trump:
Thank you very much.

143
00:06:12,672 --> 00:06:15,872
So what label do you like
better: Made in America or

144
00:06:15,875 --> 00:06:18,515
Made in the
U.S.A.? Tell me.

145
00:06:18,511 --> 00:06:19,681
Think about it.

146
00:06:19,679 --> 00:06:20,349
Male Speaker: U.S.A.

147
00:06:20,346 --> 00:06:21,716
President Donald Trump:
What do you like better:

148
00:06:21,714 --> 00:06:23,314
Made in America or
Made in the U.S.A.?

149
00:06:23,316 --> 00:06:24,646
Male Speaker:
Made in the U.S.A.

150
00:06:24,650 --> 00:06:25,990
Male Speaker:
Made in the U.S.A.

151
00:06:25,985 --> 00:06:27,325
President Donald Trump:
What do you like?

152
00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:27,990
Secretary, how you feel?

153
00:06:27,987 --> 00:06:29,327
Secretary Alex Acosta: I
think Made in America is

154
00:06:29,322 --> 00:06:29,992
what we've been
talking about.

155
00:06:29,989 --> 00:06:31,329
It's known throughout the world, and Made in America works.

156
00:06:31,324 --> 00:06:32,694
President Donald Trump:
It used to be Made in the

157
00:06:32,692 --> 00:06:33,362
U.S.A., I think,
the label.

158
00:06:33,359 --> 00:06:38,369
It was on a car.

159
00:06:44,504 --> 00:06:46,104
You know, they were
telling me that in

160
00:06:46,105 --> 00:06:49,345
Czechoslovakia and other
communist countries many

161
00:06:49,342 --> 00:06:53,412
years ago they were so
proud of a car if it was

162
00:06:53,412 --> 00:06:54,582
made in the United States.

163
00:06:54,580 --> 00:06:57,620
They used to take a single
dollar, and they'd scotch

164
00:06:57,617 --> 00:07:00,587
tape it up to their
windshield, just to show

165
00:07:00,586 --> 00:07:04,486
an American dollar, and
that was a long time ago.

166
00:07:04,490 --> 00:07:07,590
But that's what they
used to do, and maybe

167
00:07:07,593 --> 00:07:09,563
somebody's going to be
doing that in the future.

168
00:07:09,562 --> 00:07:10,762
How do you feel Michael?

169
00:07:10,763 --> 00:07:11,463
Made in the U.S.A.

170
00:07:11,464 --> 00:07:12,134
or Made in America?

171
00:07:12,131 --> 00:07:16,641
Mike Lindell: I feel Made
in the U.S.A., but I've

172
00:07:16,636 --> 00:07:19,906
done both, but my ads are
all Made in the U.S.A.

173
00:07:19,906 --> 00:07:20,576
(inaudible).

174
00:07:20,573 --> 00:07:21,843
That's the way I feel.

175
00:07:21,841 --> 00:07:22,841
I just --

176
00:07:22,842 --> 00:07:24,642
The President:
How many pillows did you

177
00:07:24,644 --> 00:07:25,774
make last year in the USA?

178
00:07:25,778 --> 00:07:26,448
Mike Lindell: Ten million.

179
00:07:26,445 --> 00:07:27,785
The President:
That's, I mean, can you imagine?

180
00:07:27,780 --> 00:07:29,150
Mike Lindell: Last year:
thirty million so far.

181
00:07:29,148 --> 00:07:29,818
(laughter)

182
00:07:29,816 --> 00:07:31,186
The President:
Thirty million since --

183
00:07:31,184 --> 00:07:33,954
that's fantastic.

184
00:07:33,953 --> 00:07:34,823
I know it's amazing.

185
00:07:34,821 --> 00:07:35,851
I heard it's amazing.

186
00:07:35,855 --> 00:07:36,685
Peter, what do you like?

187
00:07:36,689 --> 00:07:40,359
Peter Navarro: I love Made
in America because it fits

188
00:07:40,359 --> 00:07:43,199
in with our Buy American,
Hire American, the two

189
00:07:43,196 --> 00:07:45,096
simple rules of the
Trump administration.

190
00:07:45,097 --> 00:07:47,897
The President:
Okay, what does the media

191
00:07:47,900 --> 00:07:48,570
like?

192
00:07:48,568 --> 00:07:51,468
Do you like Made in
America or Made in the

193
00:07:51,470 --> 00:07:52,140
U.S.A.

194
00:07:52,138 --> 00:07:52,808
Steve?

195
00:07:52,805 --> 00:07:53,475
What do you like?

196
00:07:53,472 --> 00:07:55,342
Made in America or
Made in the U.S.A.?

197
00:07:55,341 --> 00:07:56,881
Male Speaker: (inaudible)

198
00:07:56,876 --> 00:07:59,546
President Donald
Trump: Either way.

199
00:07:59,545 --> 00:08:00,915
They're so quiet
all of a sudden.

200
00:08:00,913 --> 00:08:02,053
(laughter)

201
00:08:02,048 --> 00:08:04,848
The President:
Well, you make your

202
00:08:04,851 --> 00:08:06,421
decision.

203
00:08:06,419 --> 00:08:08,489
I think specifically
Made in the U.S.A.

204
00:08:08,487 --> 00:08:11,457
was what they had,
Made in the U.S.A.

205
00:08:11,457 --> 00:08:13,727
But either is
great or both.

206
00:08:13,726 --> 00:08:15,826
I mean, you could really
go both, although I think

207
00:08:15,828 --> 00:08:17,598
we're probably like to --
what do you like Mike?

208
00:08:17,597 --> 00:08:19,237
The Vice President:
I like Made in America.

209
00:08:19,232 --> 00:08:21,202
That's just what I've
always thought and, you

210
00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:22,170
know, make America
great again.

211
00:08:22,168 --> 00:08:23,938
You've got to make it in
America, and I like that.

212
00:08:23,936 --> 00:08:25,236
I like (inaudible).

213
00:08:25,238 --> 00:08:26,568
The President:
Okay, good, very good.

214
00:08:26,572 --> 00:08:27,912
Are you going to
show me some things?

215
00:08:27,907 --> 00:08:28,677
Let's go.

216
00:08:28,674 --> 00:08:31,074
Do you want to
start Michael?

217
00:08:31,077 --> 00:08:31,847
Mike Lindell.

218
00:08:31,844 --> 00:08:32,514
(inaudible)

219
00:08:32,511 --> 00:08:33,881
The President:
I think they're going to

220
00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:34,550
show some of the product.

221
00:08:34,547 --> 00:08:35,717
Mike Lindell.

222
00:08:35,715 --> 00:08:37,455
Oh, yeah, okay.

223
00:08:37,450 --> 00:08:39,490
Well, this is My Pillow.

224
00:08:39,485 --> 00:08:44,355
I have over 1,500
employees now and I'm very

225
00:08:44,357 --> 00:08:47,297
proud that every part,
even the cotton is grown

226
00:08:47,293 --> 00:08:52,133
in the U.S.A., and my call
center is right outside my door.

227
00:08:52,131 --> 00:08:56,131
I think that's another
thing: having all of them

228
00:08:56,135 --> 00:08:56,805
employed here.

229
00:08:56,802 --> 00:08:57,972
Everyone has a passion.

230
00:08:57,970 --> 00:09:00,210
It's like a family when
you have everybody

231
00:09:00,206 --> 00:09:04,076
employed here and I'll
tell you: the businesses

232
00:09:04,076 --> 00:09:05,916
-- I had a thing once
where I heard a snowmobile

233
00:09:05,912 --> 00:09:08,982
company that left the
United States for overseas.

234
00:09:08,981 --> 00:09:10,981
Do you know how many
companies followed that company?

235
00:09:10,983 --> 00:09:12,653
You have the bolts that
make the bolts, the

236
00:09:12,652 --> 00:09:16,192
fasteners, the seats; all
these things, and with my

237
00:09:16,188 --> 00:09:19,688
pillow, with any companies
made here, you affect so

238
00:09:19,692 --> 00:09:20,692
many other companies.

239
00:09:20,693 --> 00:09:21,823
So it just spreads.

240
00:09:21,827 --> 00:09:22,727
It's just amazing.

241
00:09:22,728 --> 00:09:24,068
President Donald
Trump: Great job.

242
00:09:24,063 --> 00:09:24,733
I'm proud of you.

243
00:09:24,730 --> 00:09:26,470
Eric Paulsen:
Representative Eric

244
00:09:26,465 --> 00:09:28,805
Paulsen from Minnesota,
and I sleep on a My Pillow

245
00:09:28,801 --> 00:09:30,641
every night, and I
have the privilege --

246
00:09:30,636 --> 00:09:31,306
(laughter)

247
00:09:31,304 --> 00:09:33,404
-- of representing a lot
of Michael's workers right

248
00:09:33,406 --> 00:09:34,076
home in Minnesota.

249
00:09:34,073 --> 00:09:35,813
The President:
And a great representative too.

250
00:09:35,808 --> 00:09:37,808
Stephanie MacDonald: Good
afternoon Mr. President.

251
00:09:37,810 --> 00:09:40,150
My name is Stephanie
MacDonald, and I am the

252
00:09:40,146 --> 00:09:42,016
cofounder of
Authenticity 50.

253
00:09:42,014 --> 00:09:46,014
We are the only company
making 100 percent seed to

254
00:09:46,018 --> 00:09:48,188
stitch lux bedding
here in America.

255
00:09:48,187 --> 00:09:48,857
As we like to
say, here we go.

256
00:09:48,854 --> 00:09:52,254
As we like to say, we're
bringing it back to

257
00:09:52,258 --> 00:09:57,198
America one sheet set at a
time, and we sure do hope

258
00:09:57,196 --> 00:09:59,366
to have our bedding in
the white house one day.

259
00:09:59,365 --> 00:10:00,065
(laughter)

260
00:10:00,066 --> 00:10:02,736
The President: It
sounds like a very good idea.

261
00:10:02,735 --> 00:10:05,705
Jimmy MacDonald: And
I'm Jimmy Mac Donald.

262
00:10:05,705 --> 00:10:08,805
I'm the other cofounder of
Authenticity 50, but let's

263
00:10:08,808 --> 00:10:10,348
be honest: she's the boss.

264
00:10:10,343 --> 00:10:11,013
(laughter)

265
00:10:11,010 --> 00:10:13,480
I've learned that much.

266
00:10:13,479 --> 00:10:17,679
David Costello: Mr.
President, Mr. Vice

267
00:10:17,683 --> 00:10:19,553
President, Secretary
Acosta, thank you so much

268
00:10:19,552 --> 00:10:20,222
for doing this.

269
00:10:20,219 --> 00:10:22,319
This is a remarkable
event, and it's showing

270
00:10:22,321 --> 00:10:24,821
true leadership in making
America great again.

271
00:10:24,824 --> 00:10:26,424
We really appreciate
what you're doing.

272
00:10:26,425 --> 00:10:27,765
I'm David Costello.

273
00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:29,630
I serve as the executive
director of the Warrior

274
00:10:29,628 --> 00:10:31,568
Protection and
Readiness Coalition.

275
00:10:31,564 --> 00:10:33,834
We are the companies and
manufacturers of your body

276
00:10:33,833 --> 00:10:35,833
armor, your ballistic
helmets, your combat

277
00:10:35,835 --> 00:10:38,535
clothing, your combat
boots for our armed

278
00:10:38,537 --> 00:10:42,277
forces, and all of that is
100 percent American made

279
00:10:42,274 --> 00:10:43,774
from the fiber forward.

280
00:10:43,776 --> 00:10:46,616
So we employ thousands of
people around the United

281
00:10:46,612 --> 00:10:49,282
States, in every state in
this nation, and one of

282
00:10:49,281 --> 00:10:51,051
the things we want to talk
about today is the federal

283
00:10:51,050 --> 00:10:54,020
government does not buy
all American made products

284
00:10:54,020 --> 00:10:55,490
in some of the agencies.

285
00:10:55,488 --> 00:10:57,828
We're working with Doctor
Navarro on an effort where

286
00:10:57,823 --> 00:10:59,923
to get to the Department
of Homeland Security to

287
00:10:59,925 --> 00:11:01,565
buy American-made
products.

288
00:11:01,560 --> 00:11:04,100
This is a border
patrol uniform that's

289
00:11:04,096 --> 00:11:07,496
manufactured in Mexico,
and we think perhaps it

290
00:11:07,500 --> 00:11:09,240
might be a better idea to
have these made in the

291
00:11:09,235 --> 00:11:10,365
United States.

292
00:11:10,369 --> 00:11:11,709
President Donald
Trump: Thank you.

293
00:11:11,704 --> 00:11:12,774
Thank you very much.

294
00:11:12,772 --> 00:11:14,842
Matt Colligan: My name
is Matt Colligan,

295
00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:16,140
out of Hudson, Ohio.

296
00:11:16,142 --> 00:11:18,812
I own a leaf filter
gutter protection.

297
00:11:18,811 --> 00:11:22,611
We manufacture and install
leaf filter gutter protection.

298
00:11:22,615 --> 00:11:25,315
So it keeps all the leaves
and debris out of your gutters.

299
00:11:25,317 --> 00:11:29,157
So we employ over 1,300
people out of 38 offices

300
00:11:29,155 --> 00:11:31,955
all over the country, and
they also wanted me to

301
00:11:31,957 --> 00:11:34,197
mention that I
own a NASCAR team.

302
00:11:34,193 --> 00:11:36,733
So I don't know anything
more American than leaf

303
00:11:36,729 --> 00:11:38,099
filter gutter
protection and NASCAR.

304
00:11:38,097 --> 00:11:38,767
(laughter)

305
00:11:38,764 --> 00:11:40,804
The President:
So let me ask you.

306
00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:43,270
The width of a gutter
changes a little bit so

307
00:11:43,269 --> 00:11:44,099
you make different widths?

308
00:11:44,103 --> 00:11:45,373
Matt Colligan:
It does change.

309
00:11:45,371 --> 00:11:46,041
So we've --

310
00:11:46,038 --> 00:11:47,538
The President: So
what does it go to: small

311
00:11:47,540 --> 00:11:48,340
side, big side?

312
00:11:48,340 --> 00:11:49,480
What does it go
to on a house?

313
00:11:49,475 --> 00:11:50,815
Matt Colligan: We do three
inch and then it goes up

314
00:11:50,810 --> 00:11:51,480
to eight inches.

315
00:11:51,477 --> 00:11:53,977
So one of the things we're
doing is we're developing

316
00:11:53,979 --> 00:11:58,849
new products to be able
to fit some of the gutter

317
00:11:58,851 --> 00:12:00,091
styles up in
the Northwest.

318
00:12:00,086 --> 00:12:02,956
I have an office up in
Seattle, but as far as

319
00:12:02,955 --> 00:12:05,295
like Oregon and Northern
California, we're not able

320
00:12:05,291 --> 00:12:07,861
to go there yet just
because of our product

321
00:12:07,860 --> 00:12:09,200
doesn't fit those
type of gutters.

322
00:12:09,195 --> 00:12:10,995
But we're developing
products.

323
00:12:10,996 --> 00:12:13,196
We manufacture our
products out of Plainwell,

324
00:12:13,199 --> 00:12:15,169
Michigan, which is north
of Kalamazoo, and we're

325
00:12:15,167 --> 00:12:17,367
going to open a plant down
in Louisville, Kentucky.

326
00:12:17,369 --> 00:12:21,069
The President:
That's great; two great places.

327
00:12:21,073 --> 00:12:21,743
Thank you very much.

328
00:12:21,740 --> 00:12:22,910
Matt Colligan: Thank you.

329
00:12:22,908 --> 00:12:24,608
Mark Gracey [spelled
phonetically]: Thank you

330
00:12:24,610 --> 00:12:25,280
Mr. President.

331
00:12:25,277 --> 00:12:27,277
My name is Mark Gracey,
president and founder of

332
00:12:27,279 --> 00:12:28,619
Bully Tools [spelled
phonetically].

333
00:12:28,614 --> 00:12:30,314
We manufacture rakes,
shovels, hoes.

334
00:12:30,316 --> 00:12:33,056
We have a product line
of about 200 products.

335
00:12:33,052 --> 00:12:35,652
Our first factory is
in Steubenville, Ohio.

336
00:12:35,654 --> 00:12:38,194
We're about to announce in
the next couple of months

337
00:12:38,190 --> 00:12:41,030
the opening of a second
factory, location

338
00:12:41,026 --> 00:12:42,496
to be finalized.

339
00:12:42,495 --> 00:12:45,535
I'm feeling a little bit
like Forrest Gump today

340
00:12:45,531 --> 00:12:47,401
with a clip posted
on Facebook.

341
00:12:47,399 --> 00:12:49,769
I was here on Monday
as well, so I've been posting.

342
00:12:49,768 --> 00:12:52,908
I feel like Forrest Gump,
I'm back in the White

343
00:12:52,905 --> 00:12:53,635
House again.

344
00:12:53,639 --> 00:12:54,309
(laughter)

345
00:12:54,306 --> 00:12:55,646
President Donald
Trump: That's great.

346
00:12:55,641 --> 00:12:56,311
(laughter)

347
00:12:56,308 --> 00:12:57,648
So is business better
since we got elected,

348
00:12:57,643 --> 00:12:58,643
since November 8?

349
00:12:58,644 --> 00:13:01,684
Mark Gracey: My confidence
in the future is much

350
00:13:01,680 --> 00:13:03,950
stronger under this
administration, and that's

351
00:13:03,949 --> 00:13:07,389
why I'm investing in
opening up a second factory.

352
00:13:07,386 --> 00:13:08,056
The President:That's great.

353
00:13:08,053 --> 00:13:08,753
A lot of people feel that.

354
00:13:08,754 --> 00:13:11,494
Mark Gracey: And by the
way, with stepping on his

355
00:13:11,490 --> 00:13:16,330
message, if the GSA would
stop buying foreign-made

356
00:13:16,328 --> 00:13:18,228
shovels, maybe I'd
open a third factory.

357
00:13:18,230 --> 00:13:19,570
The President:
Well, we're going to have

358
00:13:19,565 --> 00:13:20,235
to look at that.

359
00:13:20,232 --> 00:13:20,902
That's a good point.

360
00:13:20,900 --> 00:13:21,630
Absolutely.

361
00:13:21,634 --> 00:13:23,604
Mark Gracey: And
years ago I applied --

362
00:13:23,602 --> 00:13:24,972
The President:
Let's look at that Peter.

363
00:13:24,970 --> 00:13:26,510
Peter Navarro: That's
why we're here today.

364
00:13:26,505 --> 00:13:28,405
The President:
Okay, good, thank you.

365
00:13:28,407 --> 00:13:29,077
Go ahead.

366
00:13:29,074 --> 00:13:31,014
Sara Irvani: Hello, my
name is Sara Irvani.

367
00:13:31,010 --> 00:13:33,350
I'm CEO of
Okabashi Brands.

368
00:13:33,345 --> 00:13:36,745
We're an American-made
footwear company, and we

369
00:13:36,749 --> 00:13:39,589
actually make the most
comfortable flip-flops and

370
00:13:39,585 --> 00:13:42,525
sandals, and welcome
you all to try a pair.

371
00:13:42,521 --> 00:13:44,191
And we're based in
Buford, Georgia.

372
00:13:44,190 --> 00:13:46,490
The President:
Thank you very much: beautiful.

373
00:13:46,492 --> 00:13:51,402
Kimberly Falconhand : Hi,
I'm Kimberly Falconhand.

374
00:13:51,397 --> 00:13:53,937
I'm the president
of Okabashi Brands.

375
00:13:53,933 --> 00:13:56,473
So I'm the other half of
the tag team here, so also

376
00:13:56,468 --> 00:13:58,108
representing the most
comfortable flip-flops.

377
00:13:58,103 --> 00:13:59,773
The President:
Thank you very much.

378
00:13:59,772 --> 00:14:02,312
Claudia Tenney: Thank
you Mr. President.

379
00:14:02,308 --> 00:14:05,208
I'm Representative Claudia
Tenney from upstate New

380
00:14:05,211 --> 00:14:07,381
York, a fellow New Yorker.

381
00:14:07,379 --> 00:14:09,679
We are so grateful for
your leadership and that

382
00:14:09,682 --> 00:14:11,782
you are the president
and our first Republican

383
00:14:11,784 --> 00:14:13,954
President since
Teddy Roosevelt.

384
00:14:13,953 --> 00:14:16,753
I want to tell you I had
the great fortune of

385
00:14:16,755 --> 00:14:19,195
touring Sherrill
Manufacturing last year, a

386
00:14:19,191 --> 00:14:21,691
factory that was taken
over by these two

387
00:14:21,694 --> 00:14:23,024
phenomenal entrepreneurs,
and at your inaugural

388
00:14:23,028 --> 00:14:24,368
speech I listened and
I wrote down something

389
00:14:24,363 --> 00:14:25,063
really important
that you said.

390
00:14:25,064 --> 00:14:26,394
You said, "Americans know
a different reality as

391
00:14:26,398 --> 00:14:27,738
they see rusted out
factories scattered like

392
00:14:27,733 --> 00:14:29,073
tombstones across the
landscape," and I typed it

393
00:14:29,068 --> 00:14:30,398
in on my cell phone
because we couldn't have

394
00:14:30,402 --> 00:14:35,412
any papers out there, and
I thought this is exactly

395
00:14:42,848 --> 00:14:44,688
what we have at
Sherrill Manufacturing.

396
00:14:44,683 --> 00:14:47,953
And these two gentlemen
are the only flatware

397
00:14:47,953 --> 00:14:49,293
manufacturer in the
nation, and they have been

398
00:14:49,288 --> 00:14:50,658
approved for contracting,
but I want to just say

399
00:14:50,656 --> 00:14:51,996
that I do have a bill that
I've put in that we'd love

400
00:14:51,991 --> 00:14:53,861
to have your support on.

401
00:14:53,859 --> 00:14:54,559
It's called
the Spoons Act.

402
00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:55,960
It took a little work
to come up with that.

403
00:14:55,961 --> 00:14:57,301
It's support procurement
of our nation's

404
00:14:57,296 --> 00:14:57,966
Stainless Steel Act.

405
00:14:57,963 --> 00:14:58,633
The President:Good.

406
00:14:58,631 --> 00:15:00,001
Claudia Tenney: And now
we'd love to have your

407
00:14:59,999 --> 00:15:01,839
support so we can
continue to have --

408
00:15:01,834 --> 00:15:05,334
The President:
Good, I'll look at that.

409
00:15:05,337 --> 00:15:07,837
Claudia Tenney: --
Sherrill Manufacturing

410
00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:10,280
thrive and we'd love to
have you visit Sherrill.

411
00:15:10,276 --> 00:15:12,146
There was a parking lot
with over 2,400 cars that

412
00:15:12,144 --> 00:15:13,484
were once Oneida employees
and there's a lot of room

413
00:15:13,479 --> 00:15:14,149
there for Marine
One to land.

414
00:15:14,146 --> 00:15:14,816
The President:That's great.

415
00:15:14,813 --> 00:15:15,483
Thank you.

416
00:15:15,481 --> 00:15:16,151
Claudia Tenney: Thank you.

417
00:15:16,148 --> 00:15:16,818
We'd love to
have you there.

418
00:15:16,815 --> 00:15:17,485
Thank you so much.

419
00:15:17,483 --> 00:15:18,813
I'm grateful to the
vice president as well.

420
00:15:18,817 --> 00:15:19,487
The President:Thank you.

421
00:15:19,485 --> 00:15:20,155
Claudia Tenney: Thank you.

422
00:15:20,152 --> 00:15:21,522
Greg Owens: Thank you very
much for the invitation.

423
00:15:21,520 --> 00:15:22,860
My name is Greg Owens,
and this is Matt Roberts.

424
00:15:22,855 --> 00:15:24,185
We are cofounders,
president and the CEO of

425
00:15:24,189 --> 00:15:24,859
Sherrill Manufacturing.

426
00:15:24,857 --> 00:15:25,527
Our brand is
Liberty Tabletop.

427
00:15:25,524 --> 00:15:26,194
We sell flatware.

428
00:15:26,191 --> 00:15:27,531
We are the only flatware
manufacturer

429
00:15:27,526 --> 00:15:28,196
in the United States.

430
00:15:28,193 --> 00:15:29,563
The President:
That's incredible.

431
00:15:29,561 --> 00:15:30,231
What happened?

432
00:15:30,229 --> 00:15:31,559
Greg Owens: Well,
everybody else went

433
00:15:31,563 --> 00:15:32,233
overseas, chasing
cheap labor.

434
00:15:32,231 --> 00:15:32,901
The President:
That's terrible.

435
00:15:32,898 --> 00:15:34,238
I'm not surprised, but
it is really somewhat

436
00:15:34,233 --> 00:15:35,563
surprising when
you say the only.

437
00:15:35,567 --> 00:15:36,237
That's a hell
of a statement.

438
00:15:36,235 --> 00:15:37,605
Greg Owens: And our slogan
is 100 percent

439
00:15:37,603 --> 00:15:39,243
Made in America.

440
00:15:39,238 --> 00:15:40,978
The President:
Yeah, that's great.

441
00:15:40,973 --> 00:15:44,643
Greg Owens: So
we like that.

442
00:15:44,643 --> 00:15:48,913
We use American steel
melted and manufactured

443
00:15:48,914 --> 00:15:52,614
right here in the
United States.

444
00:15:52,618 --> 00:15:54,288
The President:Great job.

445
00:15:54,286 --> 00:15:56,156
Mike, would you like
to say something,

446
00:15:56,155 --> 00:15:57,455
vice president?

447
00:15:57,456 --> 00:16:03,366
The Vice President : Well, thank you

448
00:16:03,362 --> 00:16:05,062
Mr. President.

449
00:16:05,064 --> 00:16:10,074
I just wanted to welcome
all these great job

450
00:16:12,638 --> 00:16:15,378
creators and
entrepreneurs.

451
00:16:15,374 --> 00:16:19,014
I think you all can tell
that this country has a

452
00:16:19,011 --> 00:16:22,551
President who loves people
who make things and who

453
00:16:22,548 --> 00:16:26,548
grow things, and I just
want to assure you that

454
00:16:26,552 --> 00:16:30,422
whatever we call it, Made
in America, is not a slogan.

455
00:16:30,422 --> 00:16:32,722
It's a mission for this
President and this

456
00:16:32,725 --> 00:16:35,765
administration, and we're
not going to stop until we

457
00:16:35,761 --> 00:16:38,231
make Made in
America great again.

458
00:16:38,230 --> 00:16:41,130
The President:Thank you Mike.

459
00:16:41,133 --> 00:16:43,573
Carter Beard: Mr.
President, Mr. Vice

460
00:16:43,569 --> 00:16:46,509
President, Doctor Navarro,
Secretary Acosta, thank

461
00:16:46,505 --> 00:16:47,635
you for having me here.

462
00:16:47,639 --> 00:16:48,679
I'm Carter Beard.

463
00:16:48,674 --> 00:16:51,314
I'm the president and CEO
of Annin Flag Makers.

464
00:16:51,310 --> 00:16:53,480
We make American flags,
state, and international

465
00:16:53,479 --> 00:16:54,509
flags.

466
00:16:54,513 --> 00:16:57,883
We were founded in New
York City in 1847.

467
00:16:57,883 --> 00:17:00,253
I'm the sixth
generation president.

468
00:17:00,252 --> 00:17:03,652
We have approximately
700 employee flag makers

469
00:17:03,655 --> 00:17:06,225
making our product and our
factories in South Boston,

470
00:17:06,225 --> 00:17:10,195
Virginia, Cobbs Creek,
Virginia, Shockton, Ohio,

471
00:17:10,195 --> 00:17:11,565
and Gilladdsville
[spelled phonetically],

472
00:17:11,563 --> 00:17:13,163
Pennsylvania, just a few
miles from the Hill School

473
00:17:13,165 --> 00:17:13,835
in Pottstown.

474
00:17:13,832 --> 00:17:15,172
The President:
That's a good school.

475
00:17:15,167 --> 00:17:17,407
By the way, we have the
governor of Indiana here.

476
00:17:17,403 --> 00:17:18,233
Where is Eric?

477
00:17:18,237 --> 00:17:19,537
Where is he?

478
00:17:19,538 --> 00:17:21,308
He's around
here somewhere.

479
00:17:21,306 --> 00:17:22,606
There he is.

480
00:17:22,608 --> 00:17:23,278
(applause)

481
00:17:23,275 --> 00:17:24,375
Can't miss him.

482
00:17:24,376 --> 00:17:25,246
Great job.

483
00:17:25,244 --> 00:17:27,444
You're doing a great job.

484
00:17:27,446 --> 00:17:28,746
Thank you Eric.

485
00:17:28,747 --> 00:17:31,547
Margarita Mendoza: Good
afternoon Mr. President,

486
00:17:31,550 --> 00:17:32,550
Mr. Vice President.

487
00:17:32,551 --> 00:17:34,751
Thank you so much for
declaring this week Made

488
00:17:34,753 --> 00:17:37,093
in America Week, and
helping to celebrate the

489
00:17:37,089 --> 00:17:38,759
small brands making
it in America.

490
00:17:38,757 --> 00:17:40,727
My name is
Margarita Mendoza.

491
00:17:40,726 --> 00:17:43,396
I am the founder of the
Made in America movement,

492
00:17:43,395 --> 00:17:46,265
and we believe in order
for Americans to make it

493
00:17:46,265 --> 00:17:48,765
in America we have to
make it in America.

494
00:17:48,767 --> 00:17:49,437
Thank you.

495
00:17:49,435 --> 00:17:50,765
The President:
Thank you very much.

496
00:17:50,769 --> 00:17:52,709
Kurt Uhlir: Thank you
for the invitation,

497
00:17:52,704 --> 00:17:53,474
Mr. President.

498
00:17:53,472 --> 00:17:54,302
My name is Kurt Uhlir.

499
00:17:54,306 --> 00:17:55,806
I'm the chairman of the
Made in America movement,

500
00:17:55,808 --> 00:17:59,448
and it's an honor to be
part of not just this

501
00:17:59,445 --> 00:18:02,485
organization, but your
movement you have here.

502
00:18:02,481 --> 00:18:04,951
We represent 20,000
American-made companies:

503
00:18:04,950 --> 00:18:06,920
the mothers, the fathers
that work for those

504
00:18:06,919 --> 00:18:08,759
companies, and we're
honored to do that and to

505
00:18:08,754 --> 00:18:10,154
be here today.

506
00:18:10,155 --> 00:18:12,925
The President:
Thank you, great job.

507
00:18:12,925 --> 00:18:15,265
Frank Lucas: Mr.
President, Congressman

508
00:18:15,260 --> 00:18:17,660
Frank Lucas, third
district of Oklahoma.

509
00:18:17,663 --> 00:18:18,463
The President:Yes, hi Frank.

510
00:18:18,464 --> 00:18:20,404
Frank Lucas: I represent
Robert here and I work for

511
00:18:20,399 --> 00:18:23,239
him, and we are known
as Americans around the world.

512
00:18:23,235 --> 00:18:25,835
So, once we reclaim our
markets at home, we need

513
00:18:25,838 --> 00:18:27,778
to move our American
products into the world

514
00:18:27,773 --> 00:18:28,443
again too.

515
00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:29,780
The President:
Right, thank you Frank.

516
00:18:29,775 --> 00:18:30,875
Rob Flory: I'm Rob Flory.

517
00:18:30,876 --> 00:18:34,016
I'm the CEO and founder of
BlankSlate Coasters, and

518
00:18:34,012 --> 00:18:36,452
although we don't have
a bill in place yet,

519
00:18:36,448 --> 00:18:39,488
(inaudible) New
York for the Silver.

520
00:18:39,485 --> 00:18:41,155
I hope for working on one.

521
00:18:41,153 --> 00:18:43,553
We just got back from a
Made in America event two

522
00:18:43,555 --> 00:18:45,255
weeks ago at Wal-Mart
where they turned our

523
00:18:45,257 --> 00:18:50,167
company from 200,000
coasters to 212,000 a month.

524
00:18:50,162 --> 00:18:52,732
So they're doing a great
job with Made in America

525
00:18:52,731 --> 00:18:56,401
as well, and we're just
delighted to be here.

526
00:18:56,401 --> 00:18:57,741
We're out of
Stillwater, Oklahoma.

527
00:18:57,736 --> 00:18:59,106
The President:
Well, thank you very much.

528
00:18:59,104 --> 00:18:59,774
Great to have you.

529
00:18:59,771 --> 00:19:01,111
Greg Maguire: Mr.
President, my name is

530
00:19:01,106 --> 00:19:01,776
Greg Maguire
from Revision.

531
00:19:01,773 --> 00:19:08,383
I'd like to thank you very
much for your support of

532
00:19:08,380 --> 00:19:10,580
American manufacturers,
and Mr. Vice President,

533
00:19:10,582 --> 00:19:14,582
Secretary Acosta, Doctor
Navarro, and we really do

534
00:19:14,586 --> 00:19:15,316
appreciate that.

535
00:19:15,320 --> 00:19:17,660
I'd like to
introduce our CEO.

536
00:19:17,656 --> 00:19:19,296
John Blanche: Thank
you Mr. President.

537
00:19:19,291 --> 00:19:20,421
It's great to be here.

538
00:19:20,425 --> 00:19:21,525
My name is John Blanche.

539
00:19:21,527 --> 00:19:23,727
I'm the founder and CEO of
a company

540
00:19:23,729 --> 00:19:25,129
called Revision Military.

541
00:19:25,130 --> 00:19:27,170
We are the developers,
designers, and

542
00:19:27,165 --> 00:19:29,105
manufacturers of the
world's best protective

543
00:19:29,101 --> 00:19:32,041
equipment for the world's
best military and law

544
00:19:32,037 --> 00:19:33,407
enforcement globally.

545
00:19:33,405 --> 00:19:35,905
Recently we won the U.S.

546
00:19:35,908 --> 00:19:38,148
Army contract for the
next generation helmet.

547
00:19:38,143 --> 00:19:41,183
This is 24 percent lighter
weight than the current helmet.

548
00:19:41,179 --> 00:19:44,219
We think it's going to
save a lot of lives.

549
00:19:44,216 --> 00:19:46,356
It's a real
pleasure to be here.

550
00:19:46,351 --> 00:19:48,191
The President:
Thank you very much.

551
00:19:48,186 --> 00:19:50,026
Matt Bell: Good
afternoon Mr. President.

552
00:19:50,022 --> 00:19:51,992
It's a pleasure
to be here.

553
00:19:51,990 --> 00:19:52,960
My name is Matt Bell.

554
00:19:52,958 --> 00:19:54,928
I'm from Northeast
Pellets.

555
00:19:54,927 --> 00:19:58,027
We're located in
rural Ashland, Maine.

556
00:19:58,030 --> 00:20:02,330
We manufacture wood
pellets for heating, for

557
00:20:02,334 --> 00:20:05,334
residential, commercial,
and institutional heating.

558
00:20:05,337 --> 00:20:09,477
They're available in 25,
40 pound bags, as well as

559
00:20:09,474 --> 00:20:11,714
one ton sacks
and loose bulk.

560
00:20:11,710 --> 00:20:15,950
We have a 40 pound bag
here on display, and all

561
00:20:15,948 --> 00:20:18,518
of our fiber is purchased
from local sawmills right

562
00:20:18,517 --> 00:20:19,957
in the greater
Ashland area.

563
00:20:19,952 --> 00:20:21,852
The President:Thank you.

564
00:20:21,853 --> 00:20:24,393
Matt Bell: Thank you.

565
00:20:24,389 --> 00:20:26,829
Sean Bandawat : Mr.
President, Mr. Vice

566
00:20:26,825 --> 00:20:29,665
President, I'm Sean
Bandawat, president of the

567
00:20:29,661 --> 00:20:32,461
Bromwell Company,
based in Los Angeles.

568
00:20:32,464 --> 00:20:34,364
We are the oldest
manufacturer of

569
00:20:34,366 --> 00:20:36,206
kitchenware and houseware
products in the United

570
00:20:36,201 --> 00:20:39,241
States, founded in 1819.

571
00:20:39,237 --> 00:20:41,577
We produce a full line
of handcrafted copper

572
00:20:41,573 --> 00:20:45,313
products like this copper
cup, and a full line of

573
00:20:45,310 --> 00:20:47,080
kitchenware and bakeware
items, including

574
00:20:47,079 --> 00:20:52,789
colanders, frying pans,
cookie sheets, and more.

575
00:20:52,784 --> 00:20:54,654
We have two manufacturing
facilities: one in

576
00:20:54,653 --> 00:20:58,723
Vermont, and one in
Indiana, and as a company

577
00:20:58,724 --> 00:21:00,624
that's been in business
for 200 years, it's

578
00:21:00,626 --> 00:21:03,866
estimated that one in four
American households owns a

579
00:21:03,862 --> 00:21:04,592
Bromwell product.

580
00:21:04,596 --> 00:21:07,296
The President:
Thank you, and Mike Kelly

581
00:21:07,299 --> 00:21:10,739
our friend, and 1819:
that's a pretty old

582
00:21:10,736 --> 00:21:11,406
company.

583
00:21:11,403 --> 00:21:12,333
What do you think Mike?

584
00:21:12,337 --> 00:21:13,407
Mike Kelly: I'll
tell you what.

585
00:21:13,405 --> 00:21:15,045
These are all great
manufacturers.

586
00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:17,880
The President:
These are great people.

587
00:21:17,876 --> 00:21:19,216
Mike Kelly: These
are great Americans.

588
00:21:19,211 --> 00:21:19,881
Absolutely.

589
00:21:19,878 --> 00:21:21,248
Yeah, Mr. President, it's
so good to be with you

590
00:21:21,246 --> 00:21:22,586
again, and I know with
Vice President Pence: we

591
00:21:22,581 --> 00:21:23,911
sat together my first
term in Congress.

592
00:21:23,915 --> 00:21:25,255
I was on foreign
affairs with him.

593
00:21:25,250 --> 00:21:26,590
But I had the best time
of my life in all the 69

594
00:21:26,585 --> 00:21:28,985
years was the summer of
last year when we got to

595
00:21:28,987 --> 00:21:31,427
campaign and we rocked
the Keystone state.

596
00:21:31,423 --> 00:21:32,423
You were able to do --

597
00:21:32,424 --> 00:21:33,094
(applause)

598
00:21:33,091 --> 00:21:35,131
The President:Thank you.

599
00:21:35,127 --> 00:21:40,237
Mike Kelly: -- we
brought her home.

600
00:21:40,232 --> 00:21:41,132
I've got to tell you.

601
00:21:41,133 --> 00:21:43,273
What you are able to do
was absolutely incredible.

602
00:21:43,268 --> 00:21:46,438
And so I brought with
me today a piece of

603
00:21:46,438 --> 00:21:47,208
legislation.

604
00:21:47,205 --> 00:21:48,545
This is a jobs bill.

605
00:21:48,540 --> 00:21:52,010
It's called The Invent and
Manufacturer in America.

606
00:21:52,010 --> 00:21:54,480
And I think that most of
us around the table: we're

607
00:21:54,479 --> 00:21:56,979
so tired of coming up with
innovation, and we come up

608
00:21:56,982 --> 00:21:59,182
with these wonderful
conceptions, but we drive

609
00:21:59,184 --> 00:22:02,024
these folks off shore, and
then we blame them for leaving.

610
00:22:02,020 --> 00:22:04,390
They say, "I would have
stayed if you had let me

611
00:22:04,389 --> 00:22:07,459
stay home," but this piece
right here, Mr. President,

612
00:22:07,459 --> 00:22:09,029
I'm going to pass
it down to you.

613
00:22:09,027 --> 00:22:10,427
This is a piece that's
going to bring all those

614
00:22:10,429 --> 00:22:13,369
jobs back home, and we'll
use carrots instead of sticks.

615
00:22:13,365 --> 00:22:14,805
We're going to make
America great again every

616
00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:16,900
single day, but I've
got to tell you.

617
00:22:16,902 --> 00:22:19,172
Since the morning of
November 9, getting

618
00:22:19,171 --> 00:22:20,741
through November 8, was
great, but the morning of

619
00:22:20,739 --> 00:22:23,139
November 9: the skies have
never been bluer, the

620
00:22:23,141 --> 00:22:24,811
winds have never been
stronger at our back, and

621
00:22:24,810 --> 00:22:25,980
it's all thanks to you.

622
00:22:25,977 --> 00:22:26,947
The President:Thank you Mike.

623
00:22:26,945 --> 00:22:28,045
I appreciate it.

624
00:22:28,046 --> 00:22:28,716
Thank you.

625
00:22:28,714 --> 00:22:30,344
Thanks Mike.

626
00:22:30,348 --> 00:22:31,548
(applause)

627
00:22:31,550 --> 00:22:34,820
John DeArment: Good
afternoon everybody.

628
00:22:34,820 --> 00:22:37,490
Mr. President, Mr. Vice
President, thank you very

629
00:22:37,489 --> 00:22:40,159
much for the privilege
and honor to be here.

630
00:22:40,158 --> 00:22:41,328
My name is John DeArment.

631
00:22:41,326 --> 00:22:44,026
I'm president and chief
operating officer of

632
00:22:44,029 --> 00:22:44,699
Channel Lock, Inc.

633
00:22:44,696 --> 00:22:47,366
You got it.

634
00:22:47,365 --> 00:22:49,865
We make our genuine
channel lock pliers back

635
00:22:49,868 --> 00:22:51,408
in Meadville,
Pennsylvania.

636
00:22:51,403 --> 00:22:54,473
We have about 325
full-time associates that

637
00:22:54,473 --> 00:22:57,313
really work hard every day
making the products, and

638
00:22:57,309 --> 00:22:59,579
we think that tools like
this will help you make

639
00:22:59,578 --> 00:23:00,878
America make great again.

640
00:23:00,879 --> 00:23:02,919
The President:
That's a great product.

641
00:23:02,914 --> 00:23:03,984
That's a beautiful
product.

642
00:23:03,982 --> 00:23:05,322
Believe it or not, I
used to do this a lot.

643
00:23:05,317 --> 00:23:05,987
I love it.

644
00:23:05,984 --> 00:23:08,554
I love mechanical things,
but this is really, really

645
00:23:08,553 --> 00:23:09,753
beautiful: high-quality.

646
00:23:09,755 --> 00:23:11,085
John DeArment:
Thank you very much.

647
00:23:11,089 --> 00:23:12,789
The President: It
doesn't get any better.

648
00:23:12,791 --> 00:23:13,621
Thank you.

649
00:23:13,625 --> 00:23:16,095
John DeArment: There are
a lot of people that work

650
00:23:16,094 --> 00:23:17,064
very hard doing it.

651
00:23:17,062 --> 00:23:17,792
I appreciate it.

652
00:23:17,796 --> 00:23:18,466
(applause)

653
00:23:18,463 --> 00:23:19,133
The President:Thank you.

654
00:23:19,131 --> 00:23:20,461
So folks, I know you're
going to stay around for a

655
00:23:20,465 --> 00:23:22,405
little while with my
people, but I appreciate

656
00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:25,000
you being here, and we're
supportive of you totally

657
00:23:25,003 --> 00:23:26,643
and Made in
America is great.

658
00:23:26,638 --> 00:23:27,538
Made in the U.S.A.

659
00:23:27,539 --> 00:23:31,639
is great, and we're
behind you all the way.

660
00:23:31,643 --> 00:23:32,783
We're behind
you all the way.

661
00:23:32,778 --> 00:23:34,578
Am I allowed to put
this in the museum?

662
00:23:34,579 --> 00:23:35,949
It's got my name on it.

663
00:23:35,947 --> 00:23:39,417
I figure you can't -- who
else is going to want it, right?

664
00:23:39,417 --> 00:23:40,087
(laughter)

665
00:23:40,085 --> 00:23:41,185
But that is
really something.

666
00:23:41,186 --> 00:23:44,486
I mean, the product we
make in this country:

667
00:23:44,489 --> 00:23:45,959
people don't get it.

668
00:23:45,957 --> 00:23:47,597
It's great, but now we're
going to put you on that

669
00:23:47,592 --> 00:23:50,062
level playing field, and
that's what you need and

670
00:23:50,061 --> 00:23:51,001
nobody's going
to beat you.

671
00:23:50,996 --> 00:23:52,996
Once you have the level
playing field, nobody is

672
00:23:52,998 --> 00:23:53,668
going to beat you.

673
00:23:53,665 --> 00:23:54,365
Thank you very much.

674
00:23:54,366 --> 00:23:59,376
(applause)
