1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,800 Speaker 1: I think it's fair to say that the very favorite 2 00:00:02,800 --> 00:00:06,840 Speaker 1: world leader, the number one on President Trump's list of 3 00:00:06,920 --> 00:00:10,760 Speaker 1: world leaders, is the Prime Minister of Japan. And she 4 00:00:10,880 --> 00:00:13,480 Speaker 1: made her first visit to the White House yesterday. It 5 00:00:13,520 --> 00:00:17,959 Speaker 1: was quite a scene, especially the impromptu press conference in 6 00:00:18,040 --> 00:00:24,640 Speaker 1: the Oval Office. Take a look at this. We've got 7 00:00:24,680 --> 00:00:26,520 Speaker 1: a lot to show you when it was really something 8 00:00:26,560 --> 00:00:29,320 Speaker 1: and no, not just that one little clip that everybody's 9 00:00:29,360 --> 00:00:31,200 Speaker 1: talking about. Let's start here. 10 00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:36,760 Speaker 2: Thank give them for being made to the White House today. 11 00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:37,120 Speaker 3: Thank you. 12 00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:49,600 Speaker 2: My visit is time so given the current situation, so 13 00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:53,120 Speaker 2: oh yes, Actually. 14 00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:57,400 Speaker 1: What you just saw there is so important and so incredible. 15 00:00:57,520 --> 00:00:59,120 Speaker 1: I just want to take a quick second here to 16 00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:02,640 Speaker 1: explain culture really how important that was because right at 17 00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:05,800 Speaker 1: the end there you saw her gesture to her interpreter, 18 00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:09,600 Speaker 1: but she went out of her way to deliver the 19 00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:13,119 Speaker 1: first several sentences of her greeting to President Trump, who 20 00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:18,160 Speaker 1: she calls Donald, which is incredibly charming. She wanted to 21 00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:21,399 Speaker 1: say it in English. She wanted to signal to the 22 00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:25,759 Speaker 1: American public how important this relationship is, not just her 23 00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:29,400 Speaker 1: country's relationship with our country, but her personal relationship with 24 00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:32,319 Speaker 1: President Trump. And you see this all the time from 25 00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:34,559 Speaker 1: other world leaders where if they don't have a good 26 00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:40,160 Speaker 1: operational working handle on the English language, they just utilize 27 00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:42,880 Speaker 1: their interpreter the entire time. And there's nothing wrong with that, 28 00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:47,760 Speaker 1: nothing at all. English obviously is very difficult for the 29 00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:50,560 Speaker 1: Prime Minister. You could see her struggling with it, but 30 00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:52,960 Speaker 1: she went out of her way to do that opening 31 00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:55,800 Speaker 1: greeting in English, and that is such a sign of 32 00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:59,320 Speaker 1: respect from her on behalf of her nation, such a 33 00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:02,160 Speaker 1: sign of respect for the president, and it's really really heartening. 34 00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:06,480 Speaker 1: It's it's heartwarming in fact to see that happen because 35 00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:09,680 Speaker 1: you don't see it very often European nations. That's different. 36 00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:12,560 Speaker 1: They all kind of learn English because you gotta know 37 00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:15,920 Speaker 1: English in Europe if you're gonna sort of work in 38 00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:19,400 Speaker 1: business and in politics, but not so much in Asia, 39 00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:23,040 Speaker 1: certainly not so much in Japan. This was a critically 40 00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:28,160 Speaker 1: warm moment there and signals something about the friendship that 41 00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:30,760 Speaker 1: these two have. Later in the afternoon, they had a 42 00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:34,600 Speaker 1: more formal presentation. I believe this is in the east 43 00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:38,320 Speaker 1: room in front of the fireplace, and this was before 44 00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:40,960 Speaker 1: their dinner or maybe during the dinner that they had 45 00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:46,200 Speaker 1: in the east room, and she specifically singled out the 46 00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:49,320 Speaker 1: president's youngest child, Baron Trump. But listen to what she 47 00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:52,400 Speaker 1: says and watch President Trump's reaction. 48 00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:54,639 Speaker 3: A Spanish. 49 00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:07,000 Speaker 4: The first one is a birthday celebration, Donald, tomorrow is 50 00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:11,680 Speaker 4: the birthday of your son, mister Baron Trump. And I 51 00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:15,200 Speaker 4: know he has grown up so much into a very tall, 52 00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:29,560 Speaker 4: good looking gentleman. Donald. It is very clear where he 53 00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:33,520 Speaker 4: got it, of course, from his parents, There's no doubt 54 00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:34,119 Speaker 4: about it. 55 00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:42,120 Speaker 2: He let's got a happy birthday. 56 00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:42,960 Speaker 4: So Donald, if I may ask you, please convey my 57 00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:46,000 Speaker 4: sincere happy birthday wishes to him. 58 00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:49,840 Speaker 1: All right? So is she flirting with him? Is there 59 00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:54,680 Speaker 1: a little something going on there? She's clearly not his type, 60 00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:56,520 Speaker 1: and and he's happily married, so I doubt that he 61 00:03:56,560 --> 00:04:01,920 Speaker 1: would even consider, well, she's flirting, right, I'm not sure 62 00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:07,840 Speaker 1: if she's flirting with Baron, flirting with the President, maybe 63 00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:12,040 Speaker 1: flirting with Milania, because what does she say? He's grown 64 00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:15,160 Speaker 1: up to be a very tall and very handsome man, 65 00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:19,919 Speaker 1: and it's clear where he got it from from his parents. 66 00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:25,400 Speaker 1: It's very charming, it's very sweet, and again bodes very 67 00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:30,080 Speaker 1: well for this important relationship because understand something I know 68 00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:32,040 Speaker 1: that I kind of sound like a broken record sometimes 69 00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:35,479 Speaker 1: because I said this about Venezuela and I'm saying this 70 00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:38,560 Speaker 1: about Iran, I said this about the tariff policies, and 71 00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:42,360 Speaker 1: of course, obviously I'm going to say it about our 72 00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:45,760 Speaker 1: strengthening bonds with the country of Japan. But all of this, 73 00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:51,040 Speaker 1: all of it connects back to Beijing, China. This is 74 00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:54,640 Speaker 1: all about China, and trust me, Sijingping and all of 75 00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:58,279 Speaker 1: the monsters in the Communist Party in the CCP, they're 76 00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:02,720 Speaker 1: watching every little syllable of this relationship. And the stronger 77 00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:06,080 Speaker 1: we are with Japan, and the stronger we make Japan, 78 00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:10,839 Speaker 1: that's very bad news for China. This is huge what's 79 00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:13,880 Speaker 1: going on here. And so that brings us to back 80 00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:17,880 Speaker 1: to the Oval Office, where the Prime Minister remarked upon 81 00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:21,640 Speaker 1: America's current military engagement in the Middle East. 82 00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:39,599 Speaker 2: Not hate, but even against such backdrop, I firmly believe 83 00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:44,040 Speaker 2: that it is only you Donald who can achieve peace 84 00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:46,960 Speaker 2: across the world. It's not that many. 85 00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:57,839 Speaker 4: And to do so, I am ready how to reach 86 00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:01,360 Speaker 4: out to many of the partners in the international community 87 00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:03,599 Speaker 4: to achieve our objective together. 88 00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:06,560 Speaker 1: So she basically just said that if we're going to 89 00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:08,640 Speaker 1: have peace in this world, it can only be achieved 90 00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:11,680 Speaker 1: through President Trump, and she believes that President Trump can 91 00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:15,000 Speaker 1: singularly achieve that, and she's going to work on his 92 00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:17,279 Speaker 1: behalf to communicate that and work with all of the 93 00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:20,039 Speaker 1: other countries in the world to make that happen. Wow, 94 00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:22,080 Speaker 1: that's a hell of a commitment and a whole lot 95 00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:25,360 Speaker 1: different than the narrative we've been hearing about Europe being 96 00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:28,000 Speaker 1: pissed off at us because of Greenland, which is bowl, 97 00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:31,280 Speaker 1: by the way. But this relationship is huge, and it's 98 00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:34,800 Speaker 1: incredibly important, and the fact that it continues to strengthen 99 00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:39,280 Speaker 1: that much more is pretty phenomenal. That's all great, It 100 00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:44,839 Speaker 1: really is what happened next. A lot of people are 101 00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:48,480 Speaker 1: looking at and wondering if it's not so great. Now. 102 00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:50,880 Speaker 1: I'm going to play it for you and then we'll 103 00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:53,160 Speaker 1: discuss it, and I'd love to get your impression of this. 104 00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:55,880 Speaker 1: Was this one of the funniest moments you've ever seen 105 00:06:56,400 --> 00:06:59,360 Speaker 1: on the international stage or in Washington, d C. When 106 00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:03,000 Speaker 1: two worldly our meeting, Or was this one of the 107 00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:08,360 Speaker 1: most atrocious and insulting offenses that a president could ever 108 00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:13,280 Speaker 1: give to a world leader, especially the Prime Minister of Japan. 109 00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:17,200 Speaker 1: Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the Pearl Harbor moment. 110 00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:22,600 Speaker 3: Of course, No, Japan and US are very good friend 111 00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:28,920 Speaker 3: But one question, why didn't you tell us eyes in 112 00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:32,160 Speaker 3: Europe and Asia like Japan about the war before? I 113 00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:37,800 Speaker 3: fucking you on? So we are very confused about well. 114 00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:39,520 Speaker 5: One thing, you don't want to signal too much. You know, 115 00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:42,400 Speaker 5: when we go in, we went in very hard and 116 00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:46,560 Speaker 5: we didn't tell anybody about it because we wanted surprise. 117 00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:50,920 Speaker 5: Who knows better about surprise than Japan? Okay, why didn't 118 00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:53,400 Speaker 5: you tell me about Pearl Harbor? Okay? 119 00:07:54,760 --> 00:08:05,840 Speaker 6: Right, all right, Clearly I think it's funny, But I 120 00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:09,920 Speaker 6: also think it's funny because it's a little painful because 121 00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:11,600 Speaker 6: he literally you know, he's mean. 122 00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:14,080 Speaker 1: Listen, the guy is hilarious and the timing was great. 123 00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:18,679 Speaker 1: Whether the circumstance really lads himself to that level of humor, 124 00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:22,920 Speaker 1: I think it is frankly debatable, but clearly he feels 125 00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:25,800 Speaker 1: comfortable enough in his relationship with the Prime Minister to 126 00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:28,760 Speaker 1: make a joke like that. But what I love about 127 00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:31,600 Speaker 1: it is he literally did the uh am I right, 128 00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:36,360 Speaker 1: ah am, I right, turning to the crowd, and you know, 129 00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:38,920 Speaker 1: Mark Rubio or Scott Bessinger in the room, and they're 130 00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:45,280 Speaker 1: like it, snay, I'm the Earl pay Arbor. Hay, too soon, 131 00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:49,079 Speaker 1: I don't know. You tell me if you think that 132 00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:52,520 Speaker 1: that was inappropriate or just hilarious or both. By the way, 133 00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:56,839 Speaker 1: because he can be funny and inappropriate. Everyone's like, oh, 134 00:08:57,000 --> 00:08:59,079 Speaker 1: I couldn't get any worse than this. Of course it 135 00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:02,520 Speaker 1: could have. Yeah, you think you think that's terrible, you 136 00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:04,560 Speaker 1: think that's awful. You think that's the worst thing he 137 00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:07,520 Speaker 1: possibly could have said. Okay, okay, I'll show you how 138 00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:08,120 Speaker 1: it could have been. 139 00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:09,440 Speaker 4: Wow. 140 00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:11,760 Speaker 1: We didn't want anyone to know, Okay. We wanted to 141 00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:15,120 Speaker 1: keep it a surprise, just like Hiroshima. Right, it's not 142 00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:19,560 Speaker 1: like we gave you a heads up on Hiroshima. Huh huh. Right, See, 143 00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:24,920 Speaker 1: that would have been worse that. I guarantee you that 144 00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:29,720 Speaker 1: would not have been as good. There there are lines 145 00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:36,040 Speaker 1: that just again, too soon, too soon. But I think 146 00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:38,680 Speaker 1: it's fine. All right, Let's let's watch because it did 147 00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:41,679 Speaker 1: it did? It started? He got a big laugh and 148 00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:44,920 Speaker 1: then it got a little cringey. That's that's so. Let's 149 00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:46,240 Speaker 1: let's watch how it played out. 150 00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:53,200 Speaker 5: Okay, why didn't you tell me about Pearl Harbor. Okay, right, yeah, 151 00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:57,360 Speaker 5: he's asking me, uh, do you believe in surprise? I 152 00:09:57,360 --> 00:10:00,840 Speaker 5: think much more so than us. And we had a 153 00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:04,280 Speaker 5: surprise and we did and because of that surprise, we 154 00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:06,920 Speaker 5: knocked out the first two days. We probably knocked out 155 00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:10,640 Speaker 5: fifty percent of what we and much more than we 156 00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:14,199 Speaker 5: anticipated doing. So if I go and tell everybody about 157 00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:17,719 Speaker 5: it is no longer a surprise, right, Okay. 158 00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:19,720 Speaker 1: First he got the big laugh. You know, who knows 159 00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:22,480 Speaker 1: better about surprise? Right? Then he went a little too far. 160 00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:25,000 Speaker 1: He's like, did you tell me about Pearl Harbor? See 161 00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:27,040 Speaker 1: if you had just left it at who knows better 162 00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:30,520 Speaker 1: about surprise than Japan? That may have been enough. You know, 163 00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:34,880 Speaker 1: you sort of you suggest the surprise attack in Pearl Harbor, 164 00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:36,559 Speaker 1: but you don't like, you know, beat him over the 165 00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:40,079 Speaker 1: head with it. Then you follow up with like, right, 166 00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:41,719 Speaker 1: Pearl Harbor, you get it? 167 00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:42,120 Speaker 2: Right? 168 00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:46,080 Speaker 1: Then it gets quiet and that he's like, am I right? 169 00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:49,800 Speaker 1: Everyone who's with me? And then he immediately did the 170 00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:51,520 Speaker 1: because he saw that the room was like, oh, he's 171 00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:56,960 Speaker 1: lost the room, so that he immediately pivoted to seriously though, yeah, 172 00:10:56,960 --> 00:10:58,840 Speaker 1: we had to keep it a surprise, and in the 173 00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:01,240 Speaker 1: first two days we just out, like, you know, over 174 00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:03,640 Speaker 1: half of their capabilities, and that's why we had to 175 00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:08,480 Speaker 1: make it as a brand. Okay, all right, next question. Personally, 176 00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:12,360 Speaker 1: I think it was awesome, but I'm that kind of guy. 177 00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:18,480 Speaker 1: What really was awesome, though, was the President giving the 178 00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:21,600 Speaker 1: Prime Minister a tour of all of the improvements and 179 00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:24,280 Speaker 1: changes he has made to the White House. And they 180 00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:27,520 Speaker 1: went to the Colonnade. Now, this is the connected space 181 00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:31,080 Speaker 1: between the West Wing and the main building. And I'm 182 00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:33,880 Speaker 1: sure you've seen by now that he's got this, you know, 183 00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:36,840 Speaker 1: sort of wall of fame of all of the presidents 184 00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:40,680 Speaker 1: along the Colonnade, and of course famously he's got his 185 00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:43,560 Speaker 1: own picture twice up there, right, forty five and forty seven, 186 00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:48,880 Speaker 1: and the official portrait of Joe Biden is an auto pen. 187 00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:52,760 Speaker 1: You know this, right, So watch the Prime Minister's reaction 188 00:11:53,360 --> 00:12:04,960 Speaker 1: when she sees the autopen. So there's the picture of 189 00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:07,839 Speaker 1: Trump forty five, there it is, and then next is 190 00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:14,360 Speaker 1: Joe Biden. So she immediately starts laughing, and then she 191 00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:18,000 Speaker 1: covers their face, which is a very Japanese move to make, 192 00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:21,920 Speaker 1: because she realizes that they look at the interpreter. The 193 00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:26,840 Speaker 1: interpreter's losing it. She points at the auto ped sees 194 00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:32,360 Speaker 1: Joe Biden's name, and then realizes, Oh baby, maybe we 195 00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:38,319 Speaker 1: shouldn't be laughing so loud. That's an incredible moment, and 196 00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:42,160 Speaker 1: again is indicative of the of the relationship that these 197 00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:47,840 Speaker 1: guys have. Listen, what becomes of this relationship with Japan. Well, 198 00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:50,920 Speaker 1: let's continue to watch that space because, as I said, 199 00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:54,040 Speaker 1: everything over there is about China. Japan and China do 200 00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:57,560 Speaker 1: not have a good relationship, haven't really since World War 201 00:12:57,640 --> 00:13:03,679 Speaker 1: Two for various reasons. China would love to be dominate 202 00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:05,880 Speaker 1: all of the Pacific rim. There are only a few 203 00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:10,120 Speaker 1: countries that can rival them. In Japan is one of them. 204 00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:12,720 Speaker 1: We know what they're capable of with their economy, and 205 00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:15,240 Speaker 1: we know what they're capable of doing with their military 206 00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:21,200 Speaker 1: under specific guide rails, let's say guardrails, and they are 207 00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:25,839 Speaker 1: our ally And if things get real with China, as 208 00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:31,200 Speaker 1: many believe eventually inevitably it will, that relationship is going 209 00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:37,120 Speaker 1: to be critical. And President Trump can single handedly claim 210 00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:41,319 Speaker 1: responsibility for forging the bond here deeper than it's them 211 00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:42,679 Speaker 1: in one hundred years
