00:00Can you explain a little bit about how you would implement tariffs on the film industry,
00:05kind of how that would work?
00:06Well, that's a different story, but our film industry has been decimated
00:11by other countries taking them out, and also by incompetence, like in Los Angeles.
00:16The governor is a grossly incompetent man.
00:18He's just allowed it to be taken away from, you know, Hollywood.
00:22Hollywood doesn't do very much of that business.
00:25They have the nice sign and everything's good, but they don't do very much.
00:28A lot of it's been taken to other countries and a big proportion.
00:33And I'm actually going to meet with some because, you know, there's some advantages, I guess,
00:37and I'm not looking to hurt the industry.
00:39I want to help the industry.
00:41But they've given financing by other countries.
00:44They've given a lot of things, and the industry was decimated.
00:49If you look at how little is done in this country now, you know, you think we were the ones.
00:53We used to do 100, not long ago, 100%.
00:56Now we do almost, like, very little.
01:00It's shocking.
01:01Are you in that business, too?
01:02Because he's in so many businesses, you could explain it, but it's not a good situation.
01:08So we're going to meet with the industry.
01:10I want to make sure they're happy with it because we're all about jobs.
01:14That's all what I'm, you know, it's very important.
01:16It's a big industry, but it's an industry now that's, it's really left, it's abandoned the
01:23USA, where it started.
01:25And we'll get it, we'll get it back.
01:27Yeah, please.
01:28Thanks, Mr. President.
