00:00These people destroy our country like this. I mean, they're going crazy.
00:04Today you read where they don't want to have any water in your dishwasher.
00:08So your dishwasher won't work. And they think that's good.
00:12So what you do is you keep having to go on and on and on.
00:15The electric bill is ten times more than the water.
00:18And these are areas that have so much water they don't know what to do with it.
00:21They're flooding. They're flood plains. They have so much water in many cases.
00:26Now we can't do that. You know, I ended that.
00:28I went to, in Ohio, a great company.
00:32It was going out of business because of the dishwashers.
00:35They wouldn't give the water and you couldn't sell the product.
00:37And South Korea and China were dumping dishwashers in here for half the cost.
00:43They weren't as good. Whirlpool, but half the cost.
00:47They weren't as good. And I went and I saved it.
00:49I put a 50% and a 100% tariff on all of these dumped machines.
00:54And I saved that company.
00:57And then I said to the head of the company, who was great actually,
01:00he called me and said, we don't know what to do.
01:02You can't, I mean, they're dumping the stuff.
01:04They can't be, you know, they're losing a fortune.
01:07But it didn't matter because their governments were paying for it.
01:10He said, I don't know what to do.
01:11I said, okay, so I solved the one problem.
01:13They're not dumping. What's your next problem?
01:15They don't allow us to use water.
01:17We need more water.
01:19You can't wash dishes unless you have a certain amount of water.
01:22So I said, how much do you need?
01:24We need just a little bit more.
01:25He said, I'll give you a lot more.
01:26I gave him a lot more.
01:28Now they want to end it again.
01:29You ever go into a new home where you have a shower,
01:31where the water doesn't come out of the shower head?
01:34They put a restrictor on.
01:36I took all the restrictors off.
01:44I've had the experience.
01:46I take a shower.
01:48I want that beautiful head of hair to be nice and long.
01:51Lathered.
01:53I want it to be lathered beautifully.
01:56And I get this best stuff you can buy,
01:59and I jump in all over.
02:01And then I turn on the water,
02:04and that damn water drips down and picks me.
02:07I can't get this stuff out of my hair.
02:09It's a horrible thing.
02:11No, it's terrible.
02:12Or you turn on the sink in the faucet.
02:14You turn it, and no water.
02:16Practically no water comes through.
02:18You leave your hands under there.
02:19You're trying to get in the water.
02:20Well, I revoked all of that stuff.
02:23They just put it back on.
02:25Isn't it terrible?
02:26These are areas that have a lot of water
02:28where they don't know what to do with it.
02:30It goes out to sea.
02:31And we'll turn it back on on the first day.
02:34We're going to do a lot of things on the first day.
02:36We're going to take care of a lot of problems.
02:41First day in office.
02:42We're going to close up the border.
02:44First day in office.
02:46Ladies and gentlemen, thank you.
