00:00Okay, when you get right down to it, right?

00:05No, no. The August 1st is there for everyone.

00:09The deals all start on August 1st.

00:11Most of the deals, other than steel and aluminum,

00:14which we've been getting 50% tariffs from,

00:18I guess just about everybody,

00:20and those have come in.

00:21And we've taken in, you know, hundreds of billions of dollars

00:24just on steel and aluminum.

00:26You've seen the numbers.

00:27We've had a tremendous amount of money coming over the last month,

00:33and it's coming in, you know, very rapidly, which is fair.

00:36We have a lot of steel mills and plants,

00:39aluminum mills and plants being built.

00:41We have a lot of AI being built,

00:42and we have a lot of auto plants being built or going to be built

00:45because they don't want to pay tariffs.

00:50the best way to do it is just build your plant and the United States.

00:54Yes, please.
