00:00Yeah, the movie tariffs, what they've done is other nations have been stealing the movies,
00:07the movie-making capabilities from the United States.
00:10And I said to a couple of people, what do you think?
00:13I've done some very strong research over the last week,
00:16and we're making very few movies now.
00:19Hollywood is being destroyed.
00:20Now, you have an incompetent, grossly incompetent governor that allows that to happen,
00:25so I'm not just blaming other nations, but other nations, a lot of them,
00:30have stolen our movie industry.
00:32And I'm saying, if they're not willing to make a movie inside the United States,
00:37then we should have a tariff on movies that come in.
00:40And not only that, governments are actually giving big money.
00:43I mean, they're supporting them financially.
00:45So that's sort of a threat to our country, in a sense.
00:48And it's been a very popular thing.
00:51I can tell you one thing.
00:53Movie-makers love it.
00:55Mr. President, there was an election in Australia just late then.
01:00Will you bring that up with Canada tomorrow?
01:02The movie business is my business as well.
01:04Well, Canada is only one of many countries.
01:06It takes the bulk of them.
01:09There was an election.
01:10Friends of that, there was an election.
