10:22Now PlayingCommerce Secretary Howard Lutnick says that tariffs will spark an American manufacturing boom, but AI and robots might be doing most of the work.
Lutnick made the case in several TV interviews this week that tariffs will bring jobs and factories back to the U.S., saying they'll utilize robotics to make American workers "more efficient."
Speaking on CNBC, he said that with the use of robotics, factories are "going to see the greatest surge in training for what we call trade craft — teaching people how to be robotics, mechanics, engineers and electricians for high tech factories."
On Fox News' Hannity on Wednesday, Lutnick touted that "a high school-educated workforce is going to get trained to do robot mechanic," adding that it'll bring the "coolest" and "highest-paying jobs" to the U.S.
Guest host Aaron Maté and Americans’ comedian Kurt Metzger discuss whether Lutnick’s vision of robot factories being serviced by American technicians and AC repair personnel match with the vision most Trump voters held about a prosperity-fueled future.
