00:00Mr. President, on behalf of America's manufacturers, I want to thank you for standing up to the Chinese Communist Party
00:06and fighting for our main streets, for our workers, and for those that make things in America.
00:12I'm out on a Made in America manufacturing tour, and as I go across the country,
00:17people are grateful to have a president who's not just fighting on the tariffs fronts,
00:21but to get inflation down, to create jobs.
00:23After Biden destroyed 110,000 manufacturing jobs in just his last year,
00:29you've already brought back thousands and thousands of manufacturing jobs.
00:33So the American worker is grateful. Main Street is grateful for you.
00:37And at the agency level, we're making sure that manufacturers have access to the capital they need,
00:42but we can't do that if we're not fighting fraud.
00:45So we've modified our loan applications to have citizenship verification,
00:51to make sure we have birthdates, common sense principles around lending that the Biden administration had waived.
00:57They waived $450 million of fees in one year.
01:01We're restoring that for the American taxpayer.
01:03And the American taxpayer, as tax day approaches, April 15th,
01:07they need to know that this cabinet, this administration,
01:10and thank you, Elon Musk and Doge, for fighting for the American taxpayer
01:14to make sure that their hard-earned dollars are well spent,
01:17that they have a return on investment for this country,
01:20and that we're fighting for them just as you are every single day.
01:24So thank you, Mr. Kessler.
01:25Thank you very much.
