00:00 (Applause.)
00:03 It's not a joke. It's not a campaign line.
00:06 The God truth is, you're the best workers in the world.
00:08 That's a fact. You're the best workers in the world.
00:11 When I went out to South Korea to get them to --
00:13 to start to build back those computer chips here in America,
00:16 I said, "Why are you willing" --
00:18 and they decided to do it, invest --
00:20 investing billions of dollars. I said, "Why are you doing it?"
00:23 He said, "Two things. You have the best workers in the world,
00:25 and you have the safest place in the world to do it."
00:28 And, folks, when I think "climate," I think jobs.
00:32 I think union jobs, good-paying jobs
00:34 that don't require a college degree.
00:36 You've attracted nearly $700 billion
00:39 in private sector investment, in advanced manufacturing,
00:42 in semiconductors, clean energy, and so much more here in America,
00:45 creating tens of thousands of good-paying jobs,
00:49 building trade jobs.
00:50 In fact, construction of new factories
00:53 has more than doubled in our administration.
00:55 Meanwhile -- (applause)
00:59 -- meanwhile, Donald Trump still thinks windmills cause cancer.
01:06 (Laughter.)
01:11 That's what he said.
01:13 By the way, remember when he was trying to deal with COVID,
01:16 he said, "Just inject a little bleach in your veins."
01:19 (Laughter.)
01:21 He missed it. It all went to his hair.
01:22 (Laughter and applause.)
01:31 I shouldn't have said that.
01:33 (Applause.)
01:43 I probably shouldn't have said that.
01:45 (Laughter.)
01:49 You guys are a bad influence on me.
01:51 (Laughter.)
01:53 Trump and his MAG allies want to repeal
01:57 the most significant investments in climate ever --
01:59 the work that you risk your lives doing -- lots of it.
02:03 You know, and he wants to risk all those jobs.
02:06 Are you surprised? I'm not.
02:09 A lot of you don't know that if you want to be a pipefitter --
02:12 a lot of people don't know --
02:14 if you want to be a pipefitter or electrician
02:15 or any of the other trades here,
02:17 it takes four or five years of hard work as an apprentice.
02:21 Most people think you can walk up --
02:22 and I keep -- you guys should talk more about this.
02:25 They think you walk up and you say,
02:26 "I want to be an electrician," and you get a license.
02:29 It's four or five years. It's like going back to college.
02:32 It's going like getting a college degree.
02:34 And that's the reason -- the reason you're the best
02:37 is because you're the best trained in the world.
02:39 You get it. I get it. But Donald Trump has no clue.
02:43 He undermined union apprenticeships
02:45 by lowering standards and lowering pay.
02:47 He ended -- I ended his anti-work policies
02:51 and saved the Building Trades Apprenticeships Program
02:53 because they're the gold standard of the world.
02:55 (Applause.)
03:01 They are. They actually are.
03:06 [APPLAUSE]
