00:00The symbol of that national renewal, today we gather by the, and this is a gathering of real
00:07friends, by the same runway that once stood cracked and silent to announce that this very
00:13site will soon be the premier venue for the air and space demonstrations. From all over the world
00:21they'll come. For decades the world's major aerospace shows have been held overseas from
00:28Paris to the United Kingdom to Dubai. Those foreign air shows have drawn the biggest crowds
00:34and big contracts, big headlines, and it's been more than 30 years since a new airliner
00:41was unveiled at the show on American soil. We didn't have the big shows, they were in
00:47Paris, mostly I think of the Paris air show. But those foreign countries do not dominate
00:53aviation, and they don't dominate aerospace, they don't even come close actually. We
00:59do, and under the Trump administration we believe that the future of those industries should
01:04be unveiled right here in the USA. We dominate and we should have the biggest show. We will
01:11have, within two years, the biggest air show, that means commercial, that means space, that
01:18means everything, in the world by far, it won't even be close.
01:27And when people ask me what exactly we're trying to do, I said exactly that, that we're going
01:34to do a bigger and better, grander version than the Paris air show, much bigger, much grander.
01:42And we have the right location, this is such a great unlimited runway, unlimited space to
01:49do fantastic buildings and all the things necessary to do. So we're going to have a show the likes
01:56of which has never been done before. Next year you'll see an even bigger building, and over the
02:03next few years you'll see the biggest air show anywhere in the world, that'll take place
02:07very quickly, I'd say two years. And that includes commercial aircraft of all types, you'll have
02:13all of the big commercial flights and companies, Boeing, everybody's going to be here. The former
02:21shuttle landing facility will be transformed into a 1,900 acre venue that will bring hundreds
02:28of thousands of visitors each year, generate billions of dollars in economic impact and host
02:35hundreds of billions of dollars in deals. We're going to sign deals, commercial and private
02:42and whoever, all right here in central Florida where all of that business is very important
02:50to Byron Barnes already getting very happy single, what a great job, but you're going to be happy and
02:56you'll be here every year with me, okay? We'll be here to launch each year.
