Stating here in the States we produce tremendous amounts of textiles is completely wrong. Ask anyone who used to work in the textile mills of this country their opinion about that statement!

right and wrong.

For example Fruit of the loom....still American owned...producing a tremendous amount of textiles...just in different countries, to bring to the US.

I would give you both 50-50

Obviously he is not a professional speaker.

Sometimes it is difficult to answer questions on the spot.

You are thinking he is continuing from one question.

The video is cut.

They ask a question and he answers, so that may be why there is repeated answers.

I would give him a B- for the interview.

That is NOT produced in the States... You can have a corporate office in a country and produce all your product in another country that doesn't make you really an american company.

They can try and spin it all they want... but come to my town and tell that to all the AMERICAN workers that used to work for Fruit of the Looms before NAFTA!

Good jobs gone! And guess what, our shirts are MORE expensive now.

To be honest, it is not just the textile industry.

6 months ago I went to Sam's Club. I walked around the whole store trying to find something Made in the US. I was really pi$$ed off.

If China quit shipping to us tomorrow, our store's shelves would be completely empty in 3 days.

What is America?
Hot Dogs, Apple Pie and Chevrolet?

Not any more.

I think the only thing Made in the US is M&R Equipment.

and its going to stay that way. We have a plant in Europe that builds metric for the countries that are on the metric system but what we sell here is built here.

Agreed... I do everything I can to not buy from conglomerates.

It's hard. But I haven't been to Walmart/Sam's in like 5 or 6 years.
