00:00every opportunity I get to get the hell out of Washington, D.C.

00:02That is a good day.

00:04That is a good day.

00:06I want to thank Kelly Loeffler for that incredibly kind introduction.

00:10You know, Kelly is doing a great job at the Small Business Administration.

00:14You all would be shocked if you realized how much fraud we found

00:18even at the Small Business Administration.

00:20I'm talking about, like, dead people getting loans from the SBA.

00:24We don't want dead people getting loans from the SBA.

00:27We want American workers and American businesses getting loans

00:30from the Small Business Administration,

00:32and Kelly is doing a great job making sure that we do exactly that.

00:35I want to say thank you to Paul.

00:37It's great to be here at Vantage Plastics,

01:22You are the people.

01:30And I think that's one of the reasons why we've got to rebuild American manufacturing

01:36and support great companies like Vantage Plastics,

01:38because we want those people to get off the streets and back to work.

01:41It'd be good for them, and it'd be good for everybody else, too.

01:50Now, you all don't hold it against me, of course.

01:52You know that I'm from that state, just one state south,

01:55but we know in the industrial Midwest

02:00that companies like Vantage give Great Lakes states the reputation
