00:00 The past few years I've talked to folks all across America in their communities and at their kitchen tables.
00:06 They often tell me back in 2020 they were down. They lost their business. How many did you know somebody worked to carry
00:14 another facility and a whole generation of work there. And you're sitting there as a parent. Mom and the kid that comes home
00:22 well educated says I can't live here anymore. No job. I got to move. I got to move. They lost faith. Syracuse is a good example
00:31 for decades. Decades. It was a manufacturing boomtown full of good paying jobs and a solid path to the middle class. I know I
00:42 lived here. I went to law school here. I married a wonderful woman from Lake Scania Atlas who came. That's why I came to Syracuse
00:49 law school. I felt it. But over the years trickle down economics swept it all away.
00:55 Under my predecessor manufacturers left factories like BCS Automotive over in Auburn where her family that shut down.
01:05 Twenty two thousand local jobs disappeared in the Syracuse region.
01:11 That's the story seen in community after community nationwide hollowed out robbed to hope but not on my watch. Thanks to
01:20 investing we're making in America and the partnership we form.
01:25 America manufacturing is back. New factories are going up all across the country.
01:32 The communities like Syracuse are writing the great American comeback story. That's what it is a comeback story.
01:39 Creating new jobs new businesses new hope. Today folks.
01:43 When folks see shovels in the ground in these projects people going back to work hope they feel the pride that I feel pride in
01:54 their hometowns making a comeback pride in America pride in knowing we can get big things done when we work together.
02:00 That's why I've never been more optimistic about this nation's future. We've just have to remember who we are for God's sake.
02:07 We're the United States of America and there's nothing nothing nothing beyond our capacity to get done when we work together.
02:16 God bless you all. May God protect our truth. This is a big deal day. Congratulations.
02:22 Congratulations. Thank you.
