We saw how exposed we were during the pandemic when our supply chains for key medical goods were outside of the United States, sometimes in China, a country that may not always wish us well. So what I would argue is that, you know, We don't seek to bring every good back to the United States for manufacture, but that we seek out some key products that we want to make here, like batteries or solar panels or syringes. And I think that that will have the impact of buttressing the nation's security. But I also think that by reshoring those jobs, it helps rebuild a little bit of pride in the communities that make those things. (56:37–56:51)
