00:00I mean, listen, I still got chills.
00:19This is a historic moment.
00:20We all in here will remember this forever where we were together here at One Atlantic
00:25watching.
00:32One year, one day to get this building down just shows what hard work does to get that
00:37eyesore down.
00:38It's the end of an error, the beginning of something new.
01:00You can say the Taj Mahal, you can say Trump Plaza.
01:02I mean, so many of the jobs I do at the time I'm doing them are supposed to be not good
01:07and they turn out to be tremendous.
01:23We got out of Atlantic City about five years ago.
01:26We sold our timing was good.
01:28Atlantic City is having some tough times right now, but our timing was very good and essentially
01:32I'm not too much in the gaming.
01:35Sad.
01:38I'm sad.
01:39I had 26 years here and it's like family.
01:42So I'm sad.
01:43Yeah.
01:44So many of us are out of work.
01:45You know, like where does eight, where does 8,000 people go and think we're going to get
01:48hired?
01:49We would never thought this would come to this, you know, and I just feel bad for the
01:52people, man.
01:53So many people out of work.
02:12This is not about Donald Trump.
02:14This is not about president Trump, because quite frankly, the people here in the great
02:18city of Atlantic City, we knew how the presidency was going to play out on a national stage.
02:23Because we're one of the cities that know him best.
