01:23the businesses you build, the businesses you create, the technologies you invent, and the beauty,

01:35to take tremendous pride in the legacy you will leave to your children because you will have given them
01:41the ultimate blessings of prosperity and peace. So important. In the United States, we've launched the
01:48golden age of America. It's the golden age. We see it. We see it with all that money, trillions and
01:55trillions and dollars pouring in, hundreds of thousands of jobs coming in with it. And with the help
