The amount of campaign speeches I gave in shutdown, broken factories,

factories that had chain-lainting fences around them, that had no lights,

the electricity had been turned off, the most beautiful buildings you've ever seen.

We're lifeless, and we allowed all our manufacturing to go overseas, and it's not okay.

China's a, what, $24 trillion economy?

We're at, you know, almost 30.

You know, the difference to China is they've got five times the amount of people.

So our productivity is not only greater, but it's greater in terms of a productivity per person.

We do it better than anybody in the world.

In this episode, I sit down with Eric Trump, Executive Vice President of the Trump Organization.

Yeah, I was on construction jobs at, you know, the age of 11 is working for stone masons, working for electricians, plumbers.

I spent an entire summer cutting rebar with unsettling torch.

I mean, my father really believed in putting us to work at a young age,

making us truly understand what real estate is.

We dive into his vision for revitalizing American manufacturing

and building financial and tech systems that make it harder for people to be canceled.

These are banks that I had done business with for 30 years, never had a default, never had a breach.

And just like that, we were turned off.

This is American Thought Leaders.

And I'm Yanya Kellick.

Eric Trump, such a pleasure to have you on American Thought Leaders.

It's great to be here.
