00:00Well, why don't you go in the back?
00:02Yes.
00:03Oh, thanks, sir.
00:04I'm with the London Times.
00:05I would say this is a great day for James Bond
00:07because now Aston Martins will be available to America.
00:10That should be.
00:12It would be even better by extending it to film.
00:14I mean, you've talked about a big tariff on films,
00:17and we'd like to know if there would be a relief on the British.
00:19Well, we're going to have a discussion on that separately,
00:22and, as you know, we're putting tariffs on that particular film,
00:26like I said, the movie makers, and we're going to be doing some tariffs to get them
00:32because a lot of them have left this country.
00:35They all live here.
00:36The money comes from here.
00:37Everything comes from here, but they make them in other countries.
00:40So we're going to do something to bring them back, maybe to a large extent.
00:45But James Bond has nothing to worry about that, I can tell you, James Bond.
00:49And, you know, Sean Connery was a friend of mine.
00:52Sean Connery was responsible for my getting zoning in Aberdeen.
00:55He said, let the bloody bloke build his golf courses.
01:00I was, like, four years into the process, and it was impossible in Aberdeen.
01:05And he, I don't know, he just stood up one day and he said that.
01:08As soon as he said that, I got the approvals in about two minutes.
01:11So he had great — he was a great guy, Sean Connery, and a great character.
01:15Can you share if you're going back there in the — later in the air?
01:18Are you going to Scotland and —
01:20I'll be, sure.
01:21We have a lot of investment over there.
01:23We have Turnberry, Aberdeen.
01:25We have, as you know, in Dunebeg, in Ireland, right on the ocean.
01:29They're all in the ocean.
01:30I only have interest if they're on the ocean.
01:32And we have — we have good investments over there.
01:36Beautiful. Yes?
01:37Mr. President?
01:38Is there any sort of space in that area?
01:39Is there any kind of space in that area?
01:40Yes?
01:41Yes?
01:42Mr. President?
