This was from FOX.

JUAN WILLIAMS (CO-HOST): Manufacturing in the country having hit bottom is coming back up and you know why it's coming back up? Because of automation and efficiency. So exactly, this strikes me as likethree-card monte. I'm reading in the morning papers the Wall Street Journal said not only is it a $7 million tax break engineered by Mike Pence who is currently the governor of Indiana, for Donald Trump, but guess what? Carrier is still sending 600 jobs from that plant to Mexico. They're closing a second plant in Huntington, Indiana and in that plant 700 jobs are going to Mexico. So actually they're losing more jobs than they're saving, but Carrier is getting this huge tax break. Bernie Sanders wrote today in the paper he said I want to work with Donald Trump because he promised he's going to get tough on corporations who are threatening the American worker. Instead, he says, Donald Trump is playing footsie with these companies. And saying, oh yeah, if you threaten to go overseas, you got us. We'll do anything you want.
