00:00Carolyn, thanks. Does the president endorse something that Howard Letnick said on television this weekend,
00:05which was the army of millions and millions of human beings screwing in little screws to make iPhones,
00:10that that kind of thing is going to be moving to the U.S.?
00:12Is that how the president envisions manufacturing shifting? And if so, how long would that take, roughly?
00:17The president wants to increase manufacturing jobs here in the United States of America,
00:21but he's also looking at advanced technologies. He's also looking at AI in emerging fields
00:26that are growing around the world that the United States needs to be a leader in as well.
00:29So there's an array of diverse jobs, more traditional manufacturing jobs, as you discussed,
00:34but also jobs in advanced technologies. The president is looking at all of those. He wants them to come back home.
00:40But iPhones specifically, is that something that he thinks is the kind of technology that can move to the U.S.?
00:45Absolutely. He believes we have the labor, we have the workforce, we have the resources to do it.
00:49And as you know, Apple has invested $500 billion here in the United States,
00:54so if Apple didn't think the United States could do it, they probably wouldn't have put up that big chunk of change.
00:58Alayna.
