Project Stargate. It's a joint venture between SoftBank, Oracle, and OpenAI. And they're going to create a data center that will eventually be expanded to other states. Show us people are listening to Mr. Trump's pitch to bring new industry to America. This is the latest pledge from a foreign business leader promising to spin big in the U.S. as a result of Trump's election victory. Founder of the property development company, Dimac Properties, is pledging the money. President Trump announcing $100 billion investment from Taiwan Semiconductor, bringing the company's total American investments to $165 billion. The most powerful AI chips in the world will be made right here in America. See, things happen so quickly in the Trump world, right? It's 100 days, it feels like it's 100 months. This is leadership, this has taken Joel the problem for military, for everything, for industrial, for our economy. Even if it causes short-term pain, the reality is it is the right decision.

This is the automobile industry, and now those plants largely have stopped and they're moving them to our country. Honda is building one of the biggest plants. The trade story is certainly picking up speed here and pushing more countries to make these bigger investments. It's another example of the Trump effect. GE Aerospace announcing a nearly $1 billion investment into American manufacturing. Eli Lilly announcing plans to expand its manufacturing here in the United States. $27 billion additional spend, bringing our total to more than $50 billion. The money's rolling in, and this is in the past 60-some-odd days, Charles. These are deep-pocketed folks who want to have a relationship, and it's just smart moves. We are CMACGM.

The Trump effect this morning, a string of massive wins for American manufacturing. The numbers speak for themselves. Wisconsin-based Clarios is putting up $6 billion to expand its American operation. And what's driving these decisions?

>> Well, Maria, this is an exciting day, liberation day. This is the single greatest salvation for not just small businesses, but for America. This country was traveling down an unsustainable path and President Trump has been the only president that has a back don't bone to stand up to our allies and adversaries alike and say we have to level the playing field. This is unfair. You're no longer gonna take advantage of us. And man, I would not bet against America right now because what's happening is you see investment coming in. You see $4 trillion in investment already in President Trump's first two months. You see trading partners coming to the table wanting to renegotiate. This is what it's about. It's about restoring fairness and opportunity to this nation from small businesses to workers to our investments. And that's what this is about. President Trump understands that.

We're talking about the largest deregulatory action in the history of the country. There's never been a bigger deregulatory action than what was announced three weeks ago tomorrow. And over the course of the last four years, the Biden administration was strangulating the economy, seeking to close down industry's wholesale across the board, punishing a lot of Americans who can least afford it. So the consequence of us pursuing what will be trillions of dollars of money saved, trillions of dollars saved here for Americans, is that the cost of living is going to go down. It will become cheaper to heat your home, to purchase a car. We will be creating new jobs, a lot of jobs inside of the auto sector. We will be fulfilling President Trump's promise and his mandate that the American public voted for last November. Now when people dig into it, they'll hear of acronyms like Clean Power Plan, Quad OBC, MATs. And as you look at each individual rule, they were targeting particular industries. What we want to do is get this, protect the environment, and grow the economy. We believe we can do both.
