1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:01,520
Speaker 1: The Michael Berry Show.

2
00:00:01,920 --> 00:00:06,280
Speaker 2: Welcome to the Saturday Podcast if you're new to our podcast,

3
00:00:06,360 --> 00:00:08,400
Speaker 2: and that would make you new to our Saturday podcast.

4
00:00:08,400 --> 00:00:12,600
Speaker 2: We started this because a lot of folks were listening

5
00:00:12,600 --> 00:00:14,320
Speaker 2: to our show every day and it became a habit.

6
00:00:15,040 --> 00:00:18,079
Speaker 2: You would very kindly say, hey, Saturday, I wish you

7
00:00:18,160 --> 00:00:20,599
Speaker 2: had a show out there. And I always tell people

8
00:00:20,600 --> 00:00:22,120
Speaker 2: if you missed any of the shows during the week,

9
00:00:22,239 --> 00:00:24,560
Speaker 2: that's the time to go to the podcast and listen

10
00:00:24,600 --> 00:00:28,800
Speaker 2: to it. But we started this bonus podcast on Saturday

11
00:00:29,800 --> 00:00:32,800
Speaker 2: to get things in that we can't. You know, we're

12
00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:37,000
Speaker 2: restricted to about nine minute segments on air. Nine minutes

13
00:00:38,040 --> 00:00:40,040
Speaker 2: then go to a break. Nine minutes go to a break,

14
00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:45,120
Speaker 2: and that allows the news and the commercials, as Rush

15
00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:48,080
Speaker 2: used to call them, the obscene profit break. And I

16
00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:49,920
Speaker 2: know people will tell me it's too many commercials, too

17
00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:50,559
Speaker 2: many commercials.

18
00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:50,879
Speaker 1: I get it.

19
00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:53,640
Speaker 2: I understand, and that's why some folks prefer the podcast

20
00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:58,840
Speaker 2: and it works. But we sometimes we find audio that

21
00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:01,240
Speaker 2: we're listening to as we're prepping for the show all week,

22
00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:04,080
Speaker 2: or maybe listening to on the weekend, and we think

23
00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:07,080
Speaker 2: to ourselves, man, this is great, but it doesn't make

24
00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:09,720
Speaker 2: sense if you have to chop it up across a break,

25
00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:13,640
Speaker 2: across two segments. So we've decided to start putting those

26
00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:18,360
Speaker 2: in the Saturday podcast. And so this is a great example.

27
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:24,400
Speaker 2: President Trump went to Davos, the World Economic Forum of globalists,

28
00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:27,440
Speaker 2: and or he didn't go there, he spoke to them remotely.

29
00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:32,039
Speaker 2: And let me tell you something. It feels good to

30
00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:34,240
Speaker 2: have our country back. It feels good to have a

31
00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:39,280
Speaker 2: president again. It feels good to have a respected leader

32
00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:44,280
Speaker 2: in America's White House, a respected leader on the world stage,

33
00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:47,720
Speaker 2: and maybe a feared leader. I'm good with that, and

34
00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:50,600
Speaker 2: not some doddering old man falling asleep or forgetting where

35
00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:54,600
Speaker 2: he is, or some guy who's being rumored to leave

36
00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:59,480
Speaker 2: his wife for Jennifer Aniston. I mean, people are a mess.

37
00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:04,440
Speaker 2: So here is Donald Trump's speech with some question and

38
00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:09,040
Speaker 2: answer on the world is first speech on the world

39
00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:13,680
Speaker 2: stage since his inauguration earlier this week, and it's a

40
00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:17,760
Speaker 2: doozy folks. You're gonna enjoy this no matter how much

41
00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:21,440
Speaker 2: Trump you got this week watching him or hearing him.

42
00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:26,680
Speaker 2: Tell those folks how the calie to cabbage. Well, enjoy

43
00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:30,560
Speaker 2: one final note, I do love hearing from you. You

Speaker 2: get the email every day to when you respond directly

00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:00,720
Speaker 2: to that, those emails come to me, which means I

56

Speaker 2: consume a lot of emails, but I enjoy it. That's

57
00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:07,040
Speaker 2: my research into what our listeners want to hear, what

00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:18,200
Speaker 3: What great honor and pleasure to welcome you back to

62
00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:24,840
Speaker 3: the Davos community just four days into your new mandate.

63
00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:31,600
Speaker 3: We highly appreciate your presence with us today. We wish

64
00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:36,640
Speaker 3: you all the best as you take on your critical

65
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:44,520
Speaker 3: work ahead. The global challenges we face today are monumental.

66
00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:50,200
Speaker 3: The importance of American leadership, and your personal leadership in

67
00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:56,760
Speaker 3: this regard is fundamental and paramount. We are here to

68
00:03:56,840 --> 00:04:02,680
Speaker 3: hear your vision and policies relate to revitalizing the economy

69
00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:09,400
Speaker 3: and addressing the global challenges. As you might expect, mister President,

70
00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:16,080
Speaker 3: you returned to office and your forthcoming policies have been

71
00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:22,000
Speaker 3: at the focus of our discussions this week, the discussions

72
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:28,360
Speaker 3: among three thousand political and business leaders from over one

73
00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:32,560
Speaker 3: hundred and thirty countries who came together here in doubles.

74
00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:37,800
Speaker 3: We look forward hearing first from you and sent to

75
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:43,760
Speaker 3: the follow up discussion with business leaders, moderated by my

76
00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:49,800
Speaker 3: colleague Burge Brenda, Ladies and gentlemen, the President of the

77
00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:53,880
Speaker 3: United States, Donald J. Trump.

78
00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:05,040
Speaker 4: Well, thank you very much, Klaus, and hello to everyone

79
00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:09,479
Speaker 4: in beautiful Davos. This has been a truly historic week

80
00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:13,000
Speaker 4: in the United States. Three days ago I took the

81
00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:16,440
Speaker 4: oath of office and we began the.

82
00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:17,960
Speaker 1: Golden Age of America.

83
00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:22,360
Speaker 4: The recent presidential election was won by millions of votes

84
00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:26,080
Speaker 4: and all seven every one of them, all seven swing states.

85
00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:29,680
Speaker 4: It was a massive mandate from the American people like

86
00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:33,240
Speaker 4: hasn't been seen in many years, and some of the

87
00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:36,800
Speaker 4: political pundits, even some of my so called enemies, said

88
00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:40,320
Speaker 4: it was the most consequential election victory in one hundred

89
00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:41,360
Speaker 4: and twenty nine years.

90
00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:42,400
Speaker 1: That's quite nice.

91
00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:45,600
Speaker 4: What the world has witnessed in the past seventy two

92
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:49,160
Speaker 4: hours is nothing less than a revolution of common sense.

93
00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:52,120
Speaker 1: Our country will soon be stronger.

94
00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:54,760
Speaker 4: Wealthier, and more united than ever before, and the entire

95
00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:58,440
Speaker 4: planet will be more peaceful and prosperous as a result

96
00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:02,559
Speaker 4: of this incredible momentum. And what we're doing and going

97
00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:07,440
Speaker 4: to do, my administration is acting with unprecedented speed to

98
00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:11,440
Speaker 4: fix the disasters we've inherited from a totally inept group

99
00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:15,640
Speaker 4: of people, and to solve every single crisis facing our country.

100
00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:20,000
Speaker 4: This begins with confronting the economic chaos caused by the

101
00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:25,200
Speaker 4: failed policies of the last administration. Over the past four years,

102
00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:29,080
Speaker 4: our government racked up eight trillion dollars in wasteful deficit

103
00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:34,719
Speaker 4: spending and inflicted nation wrecking energy restrictions, crippling regulations, and

104
00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:36,320
Speaker 4: hidden taxes.

105
00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:37,560
Speaker 1: Like never before.

106
00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:41,919
Speaker 4: The result is the worst inflation crisis in modern history

107
00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:45,360
Speaker 4: and sky high interest rates for our citizens, and even

108
00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:49,679
Speaker 4: throughout the world, food prices and the price of almost

109
00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:53,000
Speaker 4: every other thing known to mankind went through the roof

110
00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:57,120
Speaker 4: President Biden totally lost control of what was going on

111
00:06:57,200 --> 00:06:59,720
Speaker 4: in our country, but in particular with our high and

112
00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:04,920
Speaker 4: flat economy and at our border. Because of these ruinous policies,

113
00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:08,440
Speaker 4: total government spending this year is one point five trillion

114
00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:12,080
Speaker 4: dollars higher than was projected to occur when I left

115
00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:17,120
Speaker 4: office just four years ago. Likewise, the cost of servicing

116
00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:20,000
Speaker 4: the debt is more than two hundred and thirty percent

117
00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:24,360
Speaker 4: higher than was projected in twenty twenty. The inflation rate

118
00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:28,640
Speaker 4: we are inheriting remains fifty percent higher than the historic target.

119
00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:32,000
Speaker 4: It was the highest inflation probably in the history of

120
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:32,640
Speaker 4: our country.

121
00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:35,480
Speaker 1: That's why, from the moment.

122
00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:38,000
Speaker 4: I took off as I've taken rapid action to reverse

123
00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:40,560
Speaker 4: each and every one of these radical left policies that

124
00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:45,760
Speaker 4: created this calamity, in particular with immigration, crime, and inflation.

125
00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:49,560
Speaker 4: On day one, I signed an executive order directing every

126
00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:52,720
Speaker 4: member of my Cabinet to marshal all powers at their

127
00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:57,720
Speaker 4: disposal to defeat inflation and reduce the cost of daily life.

128
00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:02,920
Speaker 4: I imposed a federal higher freeze, a federal regulation freeze,

129
00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:07,040
Speaker 4: a foreign aid freeze, and I created the new Department

130
00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:13,160
Speaker 4: of Government Efficiency. I terminated the ridiculous and incredibly wasteful

131
00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:16,480
Speaker 4: Green New Deal, I call it the Green New Scam.

132
00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:21,760
Speaker 4: Withdrew from the one sided Paris Climate Accord, and ended

133
00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:25,920
Speaker 4: the insane and costly electric vehicle mandate. We're going to

134
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:28,640
Speaker 4: let people buy the car they want to buy. I

135
00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:33,839
Speaker 4: declared a National Energy emergency, and that's so important, national

136
00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:38,360
Speaker 4: energy emergency to ardlock the liquid gold under our feet

137
00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:43,120
Speaker 4: and paved the way for rapid approvals of new energy infrastructure.

138
00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:46,120
Speaker 4: The United States is the largest amount of oil and

139
00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:49,200
Speaker 4: gas of any country on Earth, and we're going to

140
00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:52,480
Speaker 4: use it. Not only will this reduce the cost of

141
00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:56,040
Speaker 4: virtually all goods and services, it'll make the United States

142
00:08:56,120 --> 00:09:02,280
Speaker 4: a manufacturing superpower and the world capital of artificial intelligence

143
00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:07,720
Speaker 4: and crypto. My administration has also begun the largest deregulation

144
00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:12,360
Speaker 4: campaign in history, far exceeding even the record setting efforts

145
00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:17,080
Speaker 4: of my last term. In total, the Biden administration opposed

146
00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:21,840
Speaker 4: fifty thousand dollars in additional regulatory costs on the average

147
00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:26,480
Speaker 4: American household over the last four years. I have promised

148
00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:31,720
Speaker 4: to eliminate ten old regulations for every new regulation which

149
00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:35,600
Speaker 4: will soon put many thousands of dollars back in the pockets.

150
00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:36,400
Speaker 1: Of American families.

151
00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:41,080
Speaker 4: To further unleash our economy, our majorities in the House

152
00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:44,960
Speaker 4: and Senate, which we also took along with the Presidency,

153
00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:48,760
Speaker 4: are going to pass the largest tax cut in American history,

154
00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:52,880
Speaker 4: including massive tax cuts for workers and family and big

155
00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:57,920
Speaker 4: tax cuts for domestic producers and manufacturers. And we're working

156
00:09:57,960 --> 00:10:01,319
Speaker 4: with the Democrats on getting a extension of the original

157
00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:05,640
Speaker 4: Trump tax cuts. As you probably know by just reading

158
00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:09,800
Speaker 4: any paper, my message to every business in the world

159
00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:12,840
Speaker 4: is very simple. Come make your product in America, and

160
00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:16,040
Speaker 4: we will give you among the lowest taxes of any

161
00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:20,240
Speaker 4: nation on earth. We're bringing them down very substantially, even

162
00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:23,679
Speaker 4: from the original Trump tax cuts. But if you don't

163
00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:27,679
Speaker 4: make your product in America, which is your prerogative, then

164
00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:32,160
Speaker 4: very simply, you will have to pay a tariff differing amounts,

165
00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:35,000
Speaker 4: but a tariff which will direct hundreds of billions of

166
00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:38,320
Speaker 4: dollars and even trillions of dollars into our treasury to

167
00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:43,120
Speaker 4: strengthen our economy and pay down debt. Under the Trump administration,

168
00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:46,040
Speaker 4: there will be no better place on Earth to create jobs,

169
00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:49,160
Speaker 4: build factories, or grow a company than right here in

170
00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:54,040
Speaker 4: the good old USA. Already, Americans economic and you can

171
00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:58,640
Speaker 4: see this, I think maybe even in your wonderful, wonderful

172
00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:01,600
Speaker 4: room that you're all gathered together, so many of my friends,

173
00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:06,120
Speaker 4: but Americans, the economic confidence is soaring like we haven't

174
00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:09,880
Speaker 4: seen in many, many decades, maybe not at all. Upon

175
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:13,920
Speaker 4: my election, it was just announced of small business optimism

176
00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:17,760
Speaker 4: skyrocketed by forty one points in a single month.

177
00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:20,680
Speaker 1: That's the highest ever. There's never been anything like that.

178
00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:24,120
Speaker 4: Soft Bank has announced between a one hundred and two

179
00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:27,880
Speaker 4: hundred billion dollar investment in the US economy because of

180
00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:31,480
Speaker 4: the election result, and just two days ago, Oracle, soft

181
00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:35,160
Speaker 4: Bank and Open Ai announced a five hundred billion dollar

182
00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:37,400
Speaker 4: investment in AI infrastructure.

183
00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:39,920
Speaker 1: Other companies likewise have.

184
00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:44,120
Speaker 4: Announced billions and billions and billions, adding up the trillions

185
00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:49,120
Speaker 4: of investment in America in the United States, and it's

186
00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:53,520
Speaker 4: also reported today in the papers that Saudi Arabia will

187
00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:56,560
Speaker 4: be investing at least six hundred billion dollars in America.

188
00:11:56,600 --> 00:11:59,760
Speaker 4: But I'll be asking the Crown Prince, who's a fantastic guy, to.

189
00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:02,240
Speaker 1: Rounded out to around one trillion.

190
00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:04,960
Speaker 4: I think they'll do that because we've been very good

191
00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:08,400
Speaker 4: to them, and I'm also going to ask Saudi Arabia

192
00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:10,880
Speaker 4: and Opek to bring down the cost of oil. You

193
00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:14,240
Speaker 4: got to bring it down, which frankly, I'm surprised they

194
00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:16,760
Speaker 4: didn't do before the election. That didn't show a lot

195
00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:19,079
Speaker 4: of love by them not doing it. I was a

196
00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:22,199
Speaker 4: little surprised by that. If the price came down, the

197
00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:26,280
Speaker 4: Russia Ukraine war would end immediately. Right now, the price

198
00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:28,600
Speaker 4: is high enough that that war will continue. You've got

199
00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:30,319
Speaker 4: to bring down the oil price. You're going to end

200
00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:33,280
Speaker 4: that war. They should have done it long ago. They're

201
00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:37,880
Speaker 4: very responsible actually to a certain extent, for what's taking place.

202
00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:42,120
Speaker 4: Millions of lives are being lost with oil prices going down.

203
00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:45,760
Speaker 4: I'll demand that interest rates drop immediately, and likewise they

204
00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:47,520
Speaker 4: should be dropping all over the world.

205
00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:50,480
Speaker 1: Interest rates should follow us all over.

206
00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:54,600
Speaker 4: The progress that you're seeing is happening because of our

207
00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:58,959
Speaker 4: historic victory in a recent presidential election, one that has

208
00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:02,040
Speaker 4: become quite well known throughout the world. I think a

209
00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:04,120
Speaker 4: lot of things are happening to a lot of countries.

210
00:13:04,559 --> 00:13:07,440
Speaker 4: They say that there's light shining all over the world

211
00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:11,319
Speaker 4: since the election, and even countries that we aren't particularly

212
00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:16,720
Speaker 4: friendly with are happy because they understand what there is

213
00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:19,240
Speaker 4: a future, and how great the future will be under

214
00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:20,000
Speaker 4: our leadership.

215
00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:22,840
Speaker 1: America is back and open for business.

216
00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:26,160
Speaker 4: And this week I'm also taking swift action to stop

217
00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:29,680
Speaker 4: the invasion at our southern border. They allowed people to

218
00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:32,480
Speaker 4: come in at levels that nobody's ever seen before. It

219
00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:39,240
Speaker 4: was ridiculous. I decided and declared to do and very

220
00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:43,360
Speaker 4: very importantly, and national emergency on our border immediately halted

221
00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:47,160
Speaker 4: all entry of illegal border crossers, of which there were many,

222
00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:51,440
Speaker 4: and began promptly returning the illegal trespassers back to the

223
00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:55,079
Speaker 4: place from which they came. That action, as you've probably seen,

224
00:13:55,200 --> 00:14:00,800
Speaker 4: has already started very strongly. Have deployed active duty military

225
00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:03,960
Speaker 4: and National Guard troops to the border to assist in

226
00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:08,200
Speaker 4: repelling the invasion. It was really an invasion. We will

227
00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:13,160
Speaker 4: not allow our territory to be violated. After four long years,

228
00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:17,319
Speaker 4: the United States is strong and sovereign and a beautiful

229
00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:18,400
Speaker 4: nation once again.

230
00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:21,040
Speaker 1: It's a strong sovereign nation.

231
00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:24,520
Speaker 4: In addition, I'm police to report that America is also

232
00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:27,920
Speaker 4: a free nation once again. On day one, I signed

233
00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:32,000
Speaker 4: an executive order to stop all government censorship. No longer

234
00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:35,400
Speaker 4: will our government label the speech of our own citizens

235
00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:40,480
Speaker 4: as misinformation or disinformation, which are the favorite words of

236
00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:44,400
Speaker 4: censors and those who wish to stop the free exchange

237
00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:49,400
Speaker 4: of ideas and frankly progress. We have saved free speech

238
00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:53,560
Speaker 4: in America, and we've saved it strongly. With another historic

239
00:14:53,640 --> 00:14:56,760
Speaker 4: executive order this week, I also ended the weaponization of

240
00:14:56,840 --> 00:15:02,000
Speaker 4: law enforcement against the American people and against politicians, and

241
00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:06,560
Speaker 4: restored the fair, equal, and impartial rule of law. My

242
00:15:06,680 --> 00:15:12,360
Speaker 4: administration has taken action to abolish all discriminatory diversity, equity,

243
00:15:12,440 --> 00:15:16,280
Speaker 4: and inclusion nonsense. And these are policies that were absolute

244
00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:20,960
Speaker 4: nonsense throughout the government and the private sector. With the

245
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:25,800
Speaker 4: recent yet somewhat unexpected great Supreme Court decision just made

246
00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:31,000
Speaker 4: America will once again become a merit based country. You

247
00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:36,120
Speaker 4: have to hear that word, merit based country. And I've

248
00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:40,040
Speaker 4: made it official and official policy of the United States

249
00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:45,280
Speaker 4: that there are only two genders, male and female, and

250
00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:50,040
Speaker 4: we will have no men participating in women's sports, and

251
00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:56,360
Speaker 4: transgender operations which became the rage will occur very rarely. Finally,

252
00:15:56,360 --> 00:16:00,000
Speaker 4: as we restore common sense in America, we're moving quickly

253
00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:04,320
Speaker 4: to bring back strength and peace and stability abroad. I'm

254
00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:07,520
Speaker 4: also going to ask all NATO nations to increase defence

255
00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:10,920
Speaker 4: spending to five percent of GDP, which is what it

256
00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:11,600
Speaker 4: should have been.

257
00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:12,440
Speaker 1: Years ago.

258
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:16,120
Speaker 4: It was only at two percent, and most nations didn't

259
00:16:16,160 --> 00:16:18,840
Speaker 4: pay until I came along. I insisted that they pay,

260
00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:22,240
Speaker 4: and they did because the United States was really paying

261
00:16:22,280 --> 00:16:25,080
Speaker 4: the difference at that time, and it was unfair to

262
00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:28,280
Speaker 4: the United States. But many, many things have been unfair

263
00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:32,920
Speaker 4: for many years to the United States. Before even taking office,

264
00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:36,320
Speaker 4: my team negotiated a ceasefire agreement in the Middle East,

265
00:16:36,360 --> 00:16:40,160
Speaker 4: which wouldn't have happened without us, As I think most

266
00:16:40,160 --> 00:16:42,960
Speaker 4: of the people in the room know. Earlier this week,

267
00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:46,520
Speaker 4: the hostages began to return to their families.

268
00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:48,360
Speaker 1: They are returning and.

269
00:16:48,360 --> 00:16:50,720
Speaker 4: It's a beautiful site and they'll be coming in more

270
00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:54,680
Speaker 4: and more. They started coming back on Sunday. Our efforts

271
00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:58,000
Speaker 4: to secure a peace settlement between Russia and Ukraine are

272
00:16:58,360 --> 00:17:01,560
Speaker 4: now hopefully underway. It's so important to get that done.

273
00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:06,359
Speaker 4: That is an absolute killing field. Millions of soldiers are

274
00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:09,359
Speaker 4: being killed and nobody's seen anything like it since World

275
00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:13,000
Speaker 4: War Two. They're laying dead all over the flat fields.

276
00:17:13,080 --> 00:17:17,440
Speaker 4: It's a flat field farmland, and there's millions of Russians

277
00:17:17,440 --> 00:17:21,680
Speaker 4: and millions of Ukrainians. Nobody's seen anything like it since

278
00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:24,440
Speaker 4: World War Two. It's time to end it. And here

279
00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:27,520
Speaker 4: in America, we have big events coming up. Next year.

280
00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:31,920
Speaker 4: We have the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of America's founding.

281
00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:34,480
Speaker 4: I'm so honored to be president during that. That's been

282
00:17:34,520 --> 00:17:37,439
Speaker 4: a big event. They've been talking about it for ten years.

283
00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:41,520
Speaker 4: We also have the World Cup, and I understand Gianna

284
00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:46,960
Speaker 4: Jianni's in the room, Infantino. He was very instrumental in

285
00:17:47,040 --> 00:17:50,080
Speaker 4: helping us get it. He's there with you someplace, I think,

286
00:17:50,560 --> 00:17:52,400
Speaker 4: and I want to thank him for that. And then

287
00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:56,200
Speaker 4: we have the Olympics coming up, which I was instrumental

288
00:17:56,200 --> 00:17:59,560
Speaker 4: in getting also in my first term, and who would

289
00:17:59,560 --> 00:18:01,479
Speaker 4: have known that by skipping a term I would get

290
00:18:01,520 --> 00:18:02,120
Speaker 4: the Olympics.

291
00:18:02,119 --> 00:18:02,840
Speaker 1: I was upset.

292
00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:05,360
Speaker 4: I said, you know, I got the Olympics to come

293
00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:07,480
Speaker 4: and I won't be president. But it turned out, through

294
00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:10,199
Speaker 4: a stroke of luck or whatever you might call it,

295
00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:12,600
Speaker 4: that I'm going to be president during the World Cup

296
00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:16,480
Speaker 4: and the Olympics and the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary.

297
00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:19,640
Speaker 4: So that's going to be three big events. And we've

298
00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:22,879
Speaker 4: accomplished more and less than four days. We have really

299
00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:27,040
Speaker 4: been working four days than other administrations have accomplished in

300
00:18:27,119 --> 00:18:30,479
Speaker 4: four years, and we're just getting started. It's really an

301
00:18:30,520 --> 00:18:33,240
Speaker 4: amazing thing to see in the spirit and the light

302
00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:37,440
Speaker 4: over our country has been incredible. Under the last administration,

303
00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:40,760
Speaker 4: our nation has suffered greatly, but we're going to bring

304
00:18:40,800 --> 00:18:45,320
Speaker 4: it back and make it greater, bigger, stronger, better than

305
00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:48,919
Speaker 4: ever before. I want to thank everybody for being with you.

306
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:51,840
Speaker 4: I would have been there myself, except the inauguration was

307
00:18:51,840 --> 00:18:53,400
Speaker 4: two days ago. I thought it might be a little

308
00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:56,560
Speaker 4: bit quick to make it the first stop. But we'll

309
00:18:56,560 --> 00:18:58,639
Speaker 4: get there one day. We hope to get there. But

310
00:18:58,880 --> 00:19:02,199
Speaker 4: I do appreciate I heard the audience is fantastic, and

311
00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:04,800
Speaker 4: many of my friends are in the audience, and I

312
00:19:04,840 --> 00:19:08,520
Speaker 4: will be taking questions now from some very distinguished people.

313
00:19:08,560 --> 00:19:09,639
Speaker 1: Thank you all very much.

314
00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:19,920
Speaker 5: Thank you, thank you very much, mister President, for that

315
00:19:20,240 --> 00:19:24,080
Speaker 5: very powerful speech. And I think you could hear the

316
00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:27,159
Speaker 5: clause all the way from Davos to the White House.

317
00:19:27,760 --> 00:19:29,959
Speaker 5: But next year it will be even better because then

318
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:32,520
Speaker 5: you can get that clause here in Dubos. So we

319
00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:34,800
Speaker 5: wish you welcome to our village next year.

320
00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:38,000
Speaker 1: We hope to see you. Thank you very much.

321
00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:42,720
Speaker 5: So we also know President that you open up for

322
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:45,719
Speaker 5: interaction here. We have a great panel with some of

323
00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:49,919
Speaker 5: the most distinguished business people in the world. Let me

324
00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:54,080
Speaker 5: start with someone that you know really well, that I

325
00:19:54,119 --> 00:19:58,119
Speaker 5: think is almost the neighbor of you in Malarao in Florida,

326
00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:05,960
Speaker 5: mister Steve Schwartzmann, Chairman, CEO and co formder of Blackstone Group.

327
00:20:06,359 --> 00:20:11,960
Speaker 1: So Steve flors yours well, mister President.

328
00:20:13,800 --> 00:20:16,879
Speaker 6: I'm sure the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia will be

329
00:20:16,920 --> 00:20:26,280
Speaker 6: really glad you gave this speech today. You've had the

330
00:20:26,359 --> 00:20:34,480
Speaker 6: busiest four days that anybody can imagine, and congratulations for that.

331
00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:41,520
Speaker 6: And my question is about some of the things I've

332
00:20:41,560 --> 00:20:47,640
Speaker 6: observed here at Davos. It's a terrific forum. I've met

333
00:20:47,720 --> 00:20:51,680
Speaker 6: lots of people as usual I think I've been here

334
00:20:51,680 --> 00:20:57,200
Speaker 6: in thirty years, and a lot of the European business

335
00:20:57,200 --> 00:21:04,400
Speaker 6: people I have expressed enormous frustration with the regulatory regime

336
00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:12,320
Speaker 6: in the EU and they attribute slower growth rates here

337
00:21:13,240 --> 00:21:18,480
Speaker 6: because of the numerous factors, but especially because of regulations.

338
00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:25,600
Speaker 6: And you've taken a completely different approach in this area.

339
00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:31,560
Speaker 6: And if you could explain the theory of what you're doing,

340
00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:35,960
Speaker 6: how you're going to do it, and what you expect

341
00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:37,119
Speaker 6: the outcome to be.

342
00:21:38,400 --> 00:21:39,320
Speaker 1: I'd appreciate it.

343
00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:44,720
Speaker 4: Well, thank you very much and congratulations Steve. You a

344
00:21:44,760 --> 00:21:46,800
Speaker 4: friend of mine, but on a great career. You have

345
00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:49,720
Speaker 4: had an amazing career and continues. I just want to

346
00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:53,840
Speaker 4: congratulate you. Very inspirational to a lot of people. I

347
00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:58,480
Speaker 4: want to talk about the EU because you mentioned specifically that.

348
00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:02,080
Speaker 4: I've also had a lot of friends and leaders of countries.

349
00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:04,400
Speaker 4: I've gotten to Homo my first term and a little

350
00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:08,560
Speaker 4: bit during this period of four years, and know them well,

351
00:22:08,840 --> 00:22:11,760
Speaker 4: like them a lot, but they're very frustrated because of

352
00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:16,359
Speaker 4: the time everything seems to take to get approved environmental

353
00:22:16,359 --> 00:22:19,280
Speaker 4: impact statements for things that you shouldn't even have to

354
00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:22,399
Speaker 4: do that and many many other ways that it takes.

355
00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:24,560
Speaker 1: And I'm going to give you a quick little example.

356
00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:28,000
Speaker 4: In the private life, my beautiful private life before I

357
00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:31,760
Speaker 4: had all these things happening, the world is a little different.

358
00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:33,359
Speaker 1: I had a nice, simple life. You knew that.

359
00:22:34,080 --> 00:22:38,160
Speaker 4: But when I had that simple life, I did projects

360
00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:41,639
Speaker 4: and I had a big project in Ireland and it

361
00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:44,480
Speaker 4: had to get approval on something that would.

362
00:22:44,320 --> 00:22:45,480
Speaker 1: Have made it even better.

363
00:22:46,320 --> 00:22:49,159
Speaker 4: And I got the approval from Ireland in a period

364
00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:53,640
Speaker 4: of a week, and it was a very very very efficient,

365
00:22:53,760 --> 00:22:57,280
Speaker 4: good approval. And they informed me, though, the problem is

366
00:22:57,280 --> 00:22:58,919
Speaker 4: you're going to have to get it from the EU

367
00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:00,600
Speaker 4: and we think that'll take five.

368
00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:03,800
Speaker 1: To six years. And I said, you have to be kidding.

369
00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:08,919
Speaker 4: And this was before politics, and I said, wait a minute,

370
00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:10,960
Speaker 4: it's not that important. I don't want to go five

371
00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:12,960
Speaker 4: or six years. But it would have been a big investment.

372
00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:14,560
Speaker 4: It would have been nice, and it would have been

373
00:23:14,560 --> 00:23:18,800
Speaker 4: good for the project. And I sent the people to

374
00:23:18,880 --> 00:23:20,919
Speaker 4: the EU to see if they could speed it up.

375
00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:23,240
Speaker 4: And basically it was a five or six year wait

376
00:23:23,359 --> 00:23:26,439
Speaker 4: just to get a simple approval that Ireland gave me

377
00:23:26,440 --> 00:23:29,359
Speaker 4: in a period of literally not much more than a week.

378
00:23:30,119 --> 00:23:32,280
Speaker 4: And I realized right then that was the first time

379
00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:36,240
Speaker 4: I really was involved with the EU. But I realized,

380
00:23:36,359 --> 00:23:39,080
Speaker 4: right then, that's a problem. And I didn't even bother

381
00:23:39,480 --> 00:23:43,520
Speaker 4: applying to do it, and or if I did, I

382
00:23:43,520 --> 00:23:44,560
Speaker 4: pulled it very quickly.

383
00:23:44,720 --> 00:23:47,560
Speaker 1: I have to be very accurate because I don't want

384
00:23:47,560 --> 00:23:49,000
Speaker 1: to be criticized. He did apply.

385
00:23:49,160 --> 00:23:53,040
Speaker 4: Actually, now I want to be very accurate, so I

386
00:23:53,040 --> 00:23:54,520
Speaker 4: don't think I did, but if I did, I pulled

387
00:23:54,560 --> 00:23:57,320
Speaker 4: it very quickly. It was just something you couldn't wait

388
00:23:57,359 --> 00:23:59,520
Speaker 4: five years or six years to get an approval. So

389
00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:03,080
Speaker 4: a lot of in a very big business sense, a

390
00:24:03,119 --> 00:24:06,240
Speaker 4: lot of people are claiming that's the problem. From the

391
00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:09,760
Speaker 4: standpoint of America, the EU.

392
00:24:09,520 --> 00:24:11,879
Speaker 1: Treats us very very unfairly, very badly.

393
00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:18,080
Speaker 4: They have a large tax that we know about and

394
00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:22,360
Speaker 4: of attacks, and it's a very substantial one. They don't

395
00:24:22,400 --> 00:24:25,399
Speaker 4: take our essentially, don't take our farm products, and they

396
00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:26,840
Speaker 4: don't take our cars, yet.

397
00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:29,480
Speaker 1: They send cars to us by the millions.

398
00:24:30,640 --> 00:24:34,080
Speaker 4: They put tariffs on things that we want to do,

399
00:24:34,320 --> 00:24:37,879
Speaker 4: like for instance, I think they actually in terms of

400
00:24:37,960 --> 00:24:42,920
Speaker 4: these are non economic or non monetary tariffs, and those

401
00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:46,080
Speaker 4: are very bad, and they make it very difficult to

402
00:24:46,280 --> 00:24:49,679
Speaker 4: bring products into Europe. And yet they expect to be

403
00:24:49,760 --> 00:24:52,080
Speaker 4: selling and they do sell their products. And the ENI say, so,

404
00:24:52,160 --> 00:24:55,119
Speaker 4: we have, you know, hundreds of billions of dollars of

405
00:24:55,119 --> 00:24:58,639
Speaker 4: deficits with the EU, and nobody's happy with it, and

406
00:24:58,680 --> 00:25:00,919
Speaker 4: we're going to do something about it. But nobody's happy

407
00:25:00,960 --> 00:25:03,359
Speaker 4: with it. So I think the EU has to speed

408
00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:07,480
Speaker 4: up their process. Friends of mine that are in some

409
00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:11,960
Speaker 4: of the nations within the great people. They want to

410
00:25:11,960 --> 00:25:15,120
Speaker 4: be able to compete better. And you can't compete when

411
00:25:15,240 --> 00:25:18,399
Speaker 4: you can't go through the approval process fast. There's no

412
00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:22,560
Speaker 4: reason why it can't go faster. So you know, I'm

413
00:25:22,600 --> 00:25:26,520
Speaker 4: trying to be constructive because I love Europe. I love

414
00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:29,760
Speaker 4: the countries of Europe, but the process is a very

415
00:25:29,840 --> 00:25:34,159
Speaker 4: cumbersome one, and they do treat the United States of

416
00:25:34,200 --> 00:25:38,840
Speaker 4: America very very unfairly with the VAT taxes and all

417
00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:42,560
Speaker 4: of the other taxes they impose one other just.

418
00:25:42,520 --> 00:25:43,159
Speaker 1: To finish up.

419
00:25:43,160 --> 00:25:45,320
Speaker 4: I got a call from the head of a major airline,

420
00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:49,080
Speaker 4: one of the biggest airlines in the world, and he said, sir,

421
00:25:49,640 --> 00:25:52,800
Speaker 4: could you help us what landing in Europe is brutal.

422
00:25:53,240 --> 00:25:57,160
Speaker 4: They charge us fees for everything and it's so unfair.

423
00:25:57,280 --> 00:26:00,600
Speaker 4: I said, how does it compare it to China? He said,

424
00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:02,439
Speaker 4: it's much worse.

425
00:26:03,359 --> 00:26:04,680
Speaker 1: And the other thing.

426
00:26:04,760 --> 00:26:09,280
Speaker 4: As you know, they took court cases with Apple and

427
00:26:09,359 --> 00:26:13,360
Speaker 4: they supposedly won a case that most people didn't think

428
00:26:13,440 --> 00:26:16,040
Speaker 4: was much of a case. They won fifteen or sixteen

429
00:26:16,160 --> 00:26:20,040
Speaker 4: billion from Apple. They won billions from Google. I think

430
00:26:20,040 --> 00:26:23,760
Speaker 4: they're after Facebook for billions and billions. These are American companies.

431
00:26:23,800 --> 00:26:26,480
Speaker 4: Whether you like them or not, they're American companies and

432
00:26:26,840 --> 00:26:30,159
Speaker 4: they shouldn't be doing that. And that's as far as

433
00:26:30,240 --> 00:26:33,439
Speaker 4: I'm concerned. It's a form of taxation. So we have

434
00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:35,880
Speaker 4: some very big complaints with the EU.

435
00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:42,919
Speaker 5: Thank you, Thank you very much, mister President. Well know,

436
00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:48,440
Speaker 5: go to one of your friends in the Patrick Poiana.

437
00:26:49,440 --> 00:26:54,040
Speaker 5: He's the chairman CEO of Total Energies. I guess you

438
00:26:54,520 --> 00:27:00,000
Speaker 5: have a question ready Patrick, for the President.

439
00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:03,199
Speaker 7: And as we understand, energy is at the top of

440
00:27:03,240 --> 00:27:06,000
Speaker 7: your agenda and it's a number for me to represent

441
00:27:06,040 --> 00:27:08,600
Speaker 7: the energy industry tonight in this panel.

442
00:27:08,760 --> 00:27:10,160
Speaker 1: Total Energy is indeed.

443
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:13,720
Speaker 7: The fourth largest oil, gas and electricity company in the world.

444
00:27:14,119 --> 00:27:16,359
Speaker 7: I will not ask you a question about the old price.

445
00:27:16,480 --> 00:27:19,440
Speaker 7: It's quite clear what you expect from US. I will

446
00:27:19,520 --> 00:27:24,800
Speaker 7: move go to gas more and our company is the

447
00:27:24,880 --> 00:27:31,800
Speaker 7: largest number one exporter energy from the US company. We

448
00:27:31,840 --> 00:27:36,280
Speaker 7: are a strong contributor to We invest in a mammoth

449
00:27:36,960 --> 00:27:40,119
Speaker 7: energy projects in Texas twenty billion dollar. It's far from

450
00:27:40,160 --> 00:27:44,359
Speaker 7: two hundred, but it's twenty billion dollar and we contribute

451
00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:47,600
Speaker 7: with that to security of supply to Europe as we

452
00:27:47,640 --> 00:27:52,199
Speaker 7: export this energy to Europe. Some experts fear that if

453
00:27:52,200 --> 00:27:56,560
Speaker 7: there are too many projects developed in the US on energy,

454
00:27:56,800 --> 00:28:01,320
Speaker 7: this could have an inflationary impact on the US domestic

455
00:28:01,359 --> 00:28:06,359
Speaker 7: gas price, and they recommend the pose on these projects.

456
00:28:06,840 --> 00:28:07,640
Speaker 1: I would ask you.

457
00:28:07,600 --> 00:28:10,840
Speaker 7: The following question, what are your views about such a

458
00:28:10,880 --> 00:28:15,040
Speaker 7: pause on investments on energy in the US. What would

459
00:28:15,040 --> 00:28:19,600
Speaker 7: happen if you would observe an increase domestic gas price

460
00:28:19,680 --> 00:28:24,000
Speaker 7: because of his exports? And final question, which is important

461
00:28:24,359 --> 00:28:28,440
Speaker 7: for Europe, would you agree to guarantee security of supplies

462
00:28:28,600 --> 00:28:31,960
Speaker 7: of US energy to Europe?

463
00:28:32,760 --> 00:28:35,520
Speaker 4: Well, in the last part of your question, yes, I would.

464
00:28:35,560 --> 00:28:37,199
Speaker 4: I would make sure that you get it.

465
00:28:37,240 --> 00:28:38,800
Speaker 1: If we make a deal, we make a deal, you'll

466
00:28:38,800 --> 00:28:41,120
Speaker 1: get it, because a lot of people do have that problem.

467
00:28:41,200 --> 00:28:42,160
Speaker 1: They make a deal and then it.

468
00:28:42,200 --> 00:28:46,440
Speaker 4: Can't get supplied because of war type problems and other problems.

469
00:28:46,440 --> 00:28:50,480
Speaker 4: So we would absolutely do that. LNG is very interesting

470
00:28:50,520 --> 00:28:53,360
Speaker 4: because what I took office for the first term, one

471
00:28:53,400 --> 00:28:56,760
Speaker 4: of the first things I looked at was two there

472
00:28:56,760 --> 00:29:01,280
Speaker 4: were two very massive plans in Louisa State that has

473
00:29:01,320 --> 00:29:03,600
Speaker 4: been very good to be wanted by many many points

474
00:29:03,600 --> 00:29:07,800
Speaker 4: and I felt strongly indebted to it. Actually, and they

475
00:29:07,840 --> 00:29:10,920
Speaker 4: said there are two plants that have been under environmental

476
00:29:10,920 --> 00:29:14,920
Speaker 4: consideration for more than ten years, and they were costing

477
00:29:15,160 --> 00:29:17,360
Speaker 4: as you say, you know how expensive those plants are,

478
00:29:17,440 --> 00:29:20,200
Speaker 4: but they were costing like twelve billion, and I think

479
00:29:20,240 --> 00:29:21,720
Speaker 4: fourteen or fifteen billion.

480
00:29:22,240 --> 00:29:23,680
Speaker 1: But they couldn't get their permits.

481
00:29:23,720 --> 00:29:27,960
Speaker 4: It was they were in review for years, many many.

482
00:29:27,760 --> 00:29:33,120
Speaker 1: Years, like a decade or more. And I said, so ridiculous.

483
00:29:33,160 --> 00:29:35,440
Speaker 4: I know so much about that because in the construction

484
00:29:35,560 --> 00:29:36,680
Speaker 4: industry I had to.

485
00:29:36,640 --> 00:29:38,320
Speaker 1: Go through it too. But I got good at it

486
00:29:38,360 --> 00:29:39,040
Speaker 1: after a while.

487
00:29:39,600 --> 00:29:43,880
Speaker 4: But I went I saw the projects that you're talking about,

488
00:29:44,360 --> 00:29:47,680
Speaker 4: a total investment of twenty five to thirty billion dollars,

489
00:29:47,760 --> 00:29:49,280
Speaker 4: and it looked like it was going to end. They

490
00:29:49,280 --> 00:29:52,520
Speaker 4: couldn't get their permits, and I got them done in

491
00:29:52,600 --> 00:29:55,920
Speaker 4: less than a week. It was done, completed. In fact,

492
00:29:55,960 --> 00:29:59,040
Speaker 4: when they called them to announce that it was done.

493
00:29:59,120 --> 00:30:04,880
Speaker 4: The countries largely countries, Japan was involved in another country,

494
00:30:04,920 --> 00:30:08,040
Speaker 4: and some very big investors, they couldn't believe it.

495
00:30:08,120 --> 00:30:09,320
Speaker 1: They actually couldn't believe it.

496
00:30:09,360 --> 00:30:12,000
Speaker 4: And I said, just do yourself one favorite, don't pay

497
00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:14,480
Speaker 4: any consultants, because the only one that got it done

498
00:30:14,520 --> 00:30:16,000
Speaker 4: was me. I got it done because it was the

499
00:30:16,080 --> 00:30:18,720
Speaker 4: right thing to do for the US. And for the world.

500
00:30:18,760 --> 00:30:20,920
Speaker 4: But the consultants had nothing to do with it. You know,

501
00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:23,200
Speaker 4: the consultants go in and they say, give us millions

502
00:30:23,200 --> 00:30:24,880
Speaker 4: of dollars because Trump did it.

503
00:30:25,160 --> 00:30:26,280
Speaker 1: Nobody called me about it.

504
00:30:26,360 --> 00:30:28,800
Speaker 4: I just heard it was a problem for years, and

505
00:30:28,840 --> 00:30:30,560
Speaker 4: I got it done because it was the right thing

506
00:30:30,560 --> 00:30:32,360
Speaker 4: to do for the US and the right thing to

507
00:30:32,440 --> 00:30:35,440
Speaker 4: do for beyond. It had to do with energy, very important.

508
00:30:35,800 --> 00:30:38,920
Speaker 4: So I think it's very important. I think the you know,

509
00:30:39,160 --> 00:30:41,520
Speaker 4: I disagree with one. I think the more that you do,

510
00:30:41,720 --> 00:30:43,320
Speaker 4: the lower the price is going to go.

511
00:30:44,200 --> 00:30:46,800
Speaker 1: And what I'd like to see is rapid approvals.

512
00:30:46,840 --> 00:30:49,360
Speaker 4: We're going to get very rapid approvals in the United States,

513
00:30:49,400 --> 00:30:52,840
Speaker 4: like with the AI plans. Talking to many people want

514
00:30:52,880 --> 00:30:55,960
Speaker 4: to build them. That's going to be a very big thing.

515
00:30:56,680 --> 00:31:01,040
Speaker 4: We're going to build electric generating faciale they are going

516
00:31:01,080 --> 00:31:03,400
Speaker 4: to build. I'm going to get them the approval under

517
00:31:03,480 --> 00:31:07,640
Speaker 4: emergency declaration. I can get the approvals done myself without

518
00:31:07,680 --> 00:31:10,200
Speaker 4: having to go through years of waiting. And the big

519
00:31:10,240 --> 00:31:12,920
Speaker 4: problem is we need double the energy we currently have

520
00:31:13,000 --> 00:31:16,000
Speaker 4: in the United States. Can you imagine for AI to

521
00:31:16,200 --> 00:31:19,320
Speaker 4: really be as big as we want to have it?

522
00:31:19,360 --> 00:31:22,080
Speaker 4: Because it's a very competitive. It'll be very competitive with

523
00:31:22,200 --> 00:31:25,880
Speaker 4: China and others. So I'm going to give emergency declarations

524
00:31:25,920 --> 00:31:29,200
Speaker 4: so that they can start building them almost immediately. And

525
00:31:29,240 --> 00:31:32,760
Speaker 4: I'm I think it was largely my idea because nobody

526
00:31:32,760 --> 00:31:35,520
Speaker 4: thought this was possible. It wasn't that they were not smart,

527
00:31:35,520 --> 00:31:39,480
Speaker 4: because they're the smartest. But I told them that what

528
00:31:39,560 --> 00:31:42,200
Speaker 4: I want you to do is build your electric generating

529
00:31:42,200 --> 00:31:44,600
Speaker 4: plant right next to your plant as a separate building

530
00:31:44,640 --> 00:31:49,240
Speaker 4: connected And they said, wow, you're kidding, and I said, no, no,

531
00:31:49,280 --> 00:31:52,280
Speaker 4: I'm not kidding. You don't have to hook into the grid,

532
00:31:52,320 --> 00:31:55,360
Speaker 4: which is old and you know, could be taken out.

533
00:31:55,440 --> 00:31:58,520
Speaker 4: If it's taken out, they wouldn't have any way to

534
00:31:58,520 --> 00:32:04,560
Speaker 4: get any electricity. So we are going to allow them

535
00:32:04,640 --> 00:32:07,800
Speaker 4: to go on a very rapid basis to build their plant.

536
00:32:07,880 --> 00:32:10,680
Speaker 4: Build the electric generating plant. They can fuel it with

537
00:32:11,400 --> 00:32:14,400
Speaker 4: anything they want, and they may have coal as a backup,

538
00:32:14,880 --> 00:32:17,960
Speaker 4: good clean coal. You know, if there were a problem

539
00:32:18,040 --> 00:32:21,080
Speaker 4: with a pipe coming in as an example, you're going

540
00:32:21,080 --> 00:32:24,560
Speaker 4: with gas, oil and gas and a pipe gets blown

541
00:32:24,640 --> 00:32:27,600
Speaker 4: up or for some reason does it work. There are

542
00:32:27,680 --> 00:32:31,920
Speaker 4: some companies in the US that have coal sitting right

543
00:32:32,040 --> 00:32:36,200
Speaker 4: by the plant, so that if there's an emergency, they

544
00:32:36,200 --> 00:32:39,360
Speaker 4: can go to that short term basis and use our

545
00:32:39,640 --> 00:32:42,000
Speaker 4: very clean coal. So that's something else that a lot

546
00:32:42,040 --> 00:32:45,680
Speaker 4: of people didn't even know about. But nothing can destroy coal,

547
00:32:45,920 --> 00:32:49,600
Speaker 4: not the weather, not a bomb, nothing. It might make

548
00:32:49,640 --> 00:32:53,320
Speaker 4: it a little smaller, might make it a little different shape,

549
00:32:53,840 --> 00:32:56,360
Speaker 4: but coal is very strong as a backup. It's a

550
00:32:56,360 --> 00:32:58,840
Speaker 4: great backup to have that facility, and it wouldn't cost

551
00:32:58,920 --> 00:33:02,680
Speaker 4: much more money. And we have more call than anybody.

552
00:33:02,720 --> 00:33:05,400
Speaker 4: We also have more oil and gas than anybody. So

553
00:33:05,760 --> 00:33:07,600
Speaker 4: we're going to make it so that the plans will

554
00:33:07,600 --> 00:33:11,440
Speaker 4: have their own electric generating facilities attached right.

555
00:33:11,320 --> 00:33:12,040
Speaker 1: To their plant.

556
00:33:12,320 --> 00:33:14,360
Speaker 4: They don't have to worry about a utility, they don't

557
00:33:14,400 --> 00:33:16,080
Speaker 4: have to worry about anything, and will going to get

558
00:33:16,160 --> 00:33:17,360
Speaker 4: very rapid approvals.

559
00:33:19,720 --> 00:33:22,480
Speaker 5: Thank you, Thank you so much. As a president know

560
00:33:22,720 --> 00:33:26,520
Speaker 5: I'll go to another CEO that you know very well,

561
00:33:26,680 --> 00:33:30,880
Speaker 5: Brian Monan, the CEO and Chair of Bank of America.

562
00:33:32,280 --> 00:33:36,720
Speaker 8: Good afternoon, mister President, and congratulations and obviously eventful week

563
00:33:36,760 --> 00:33:39,520
Speaker 8: for you and your family. If you remember five years ago,

564
00:33:39,560 --> 00:33:41,600
Speaker 8: you came here and we walked among one hundred and

565
00:33:41,600 --> 00:33:44,480
Speaker 8: fifty CEOs from all over the world, and you engage

566
00:33:44,480 --> 00:33:48,360
Speaker 8: with them about your policies and your procedures this year.

567
00:33:48,400 --> 00:33:51,320
Speaker 8: You're not here, and yet this week was eventful from

568
00:33:51,360 --> 00:33:54,080
Speaker 8: the orders you mentioned earlier, literally a wave of orders

569
00:33:54,080 --> 00:33:58,600
Speaker 8: coming out on immigration, on trade, and many other matters.

570
00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:01,960
Speaker 8: And so as a representative of the United States here,

571
00:34:03,400 --> 00:34:05,280
Speaker 8: we got a lot of questions about what does all

572
00:34:05,280 --> 00:34:08,279
Speaker 8: this mean and how would the presidents square this with

573
00:34:08,360 --> 00:34:13,400
Speaker 8: this clear focus on growth, prosperity market growth, stock market growth,

574
00:34:13,840 --> 00:34:16,880
Speaker 8: a good bond market, and bringing down prices. So how

575
00:34:16,920 --> 00:34:19,320
Speaker 8: do you think about the impact of all these orders

576
00:34:19,360 --> 00:34:21,319
Speaker 8: and how fast they come out, and how you're going

577
00:34:21,360 --> 00:34:24,719
Speaker 8: to balance them with that scorecard of being successful in

578
00:34:24,760 --> 00:34:28,040
Speaker 8: both continuing GDP growth, bringing.

579
00:34:27,760 --> 00:34:29,560
Speaker 1: Down inflation, and also having.

580
00:34:29,320 --> 00:34:32,040
Speaker 8: A good stock price appreciation for the American citizen.

581
00:34:33,320 --> 00:34:35,880
Speaker 4: Well, I think it's going to actually bring down inflation.

582
00:34:36,400 --> 00:34:38,120
Speaker 4: It's going to bring up jobs. We're going to have

583
00:34:38,160 --> 00:34:39,400
Speaker 4: a lot of jobs. We're going to have a lot

584
00:34:39,400 --> 00:34:42,360
Speaker 4: of companies moving. And you know, Brian, we're at twenty

585
00:34:42,400 --> 00:34:44,600
Speaker 4: one percent. It was at forty percent, and I got

586
00:34:44,600 --> 00:34:47,680
Speaker 4: it down to twenty one percent the corporate text, and

587
00:34:47,800 --> 00:34:49,720
Speaker 4: it was actually if you look at state and city,

588
00:34:49,800 --> 00:34:52,120
Speaker 4: it was in many cases much higher than forty percent.

589
00:34:52,160 --> 00:34:54,759
Speaker 4: I got it down to twenty one percent, and now

590
00:34:54,760 --> 00:34:56,560
Speaker 4: we're going to bring it down from twenty one to

591
00:34:56,600 --> 00:34:59,799
Speaker 4: fifteen percent. If is a big if, if you make

592
00:34:59,840 --> 00:35:01,640
Speaker 4: your product in the US. So we're going to have

593
00:35:01,640 --> 00:35:04,120
Speaker 4: the lowest just about the lowest rate it'll be. The

594
00:35:04,200 --> 00:35:07,920
Speaker 4: twenty one is on the low side worldwide. The fifteen

595
00:35:08,120 --> 00:35:10,719
Speaker 4: is about as low as it gets and by far

596
00:35:10,800 --> 00:35:14,000
Speaker 4: the lowest of a large country, a large, you know, rich,

597
00:35:14,120 --> 00:35:17,080
Speaker 4: powerful country, by far, not even a contest. So we're

598
00:35:17,080 --> 00:35:19,759
Speaker 4: going to bring it down to fifteen percent if you

599
00:35:19,840 --> 00:35:22,200
Speaker 4: make your product in the USA.

600
00:35:22,320 --> 00:35:24,840
Speaker 1: So that's going to create a tremendous buzz.

601
00:35:24,880 --> 00:35:27,480
Speaker 4: We're also probably going back to the one year deduction

602
00:35:28,120 --> 00:35:32,000
Speaker 4: where we deduct you know, we did that originally and

603
00:35:32,040 --> 00:35:35,000
Speaker 4: that was amazing, what the impact that that had, the

604
00:35:35,000 --> 00:35:38,400
Speaker 4: one year deduction, which built up over a period of

605
00:35:38,480 --> 00:35:41,640
Speaker 4: time and then it expires. But we're going to go

606
00:35:41,719 --> 00:35:43,920
Speaker 4: back to that when we do the renewal of the

607
00:35:44,280 --> 00:35:45,120
Speaker 4: Trump tax plan.

608
00:35:45,200 --> 00:35:46,920
Speaker 1: We have to get Democrats to approve it.

609
00:35:46,960 --> 00:35:50,360
Speaker 4: But you know, if the Democrats didn't approve it, I

610
00:35:50,400 --> 00:35:52,359
Speaker 4: don't know how they can survive with about a forty

611
00:35:52,400 --> 00:35:54,640
Speaker 4: five percent tax increase because that's what it would be,

612
00:35:55,360 --> 00:35:57,359
Speaker 4: and so I think they're going to do well.

613
00:35:57,400 --> 00:35:59,720
Speaker 1: We've been working along with them pretty well.

614
00:36:00,360 --> 00:36:02,480
Speaker 4: I think it's very hard for a political group to say,

615
00:36:02,560 --> 00:36:05,480
Speaker 4: let's charge people forty five percent more so I think

616
00:36:05,480 --> 00:36:07,520
Speaker 4: we're in good shape. But we're actually doing a reduction

617
00:36:07,719 --> 00:36:11,440
Speaker 4: for business and small businesses where you're going to be

618
00:36:11,560 --> 00:36:15,640
Speaker 4: bring it down to fifteen percent, which is really something.

619
00:36:15,960 --> 00:36:18,839
Speaker 4: And by the way, speaking of you, and you've done

620
00:36:18,840 --> 00:36:21,440
Speaker 4: a fantastic job, but I hope you start opening your

621
00:36:21,440 --> 00:36:25,400
Speaker 4: bank to conservatives because many conservatives complain that the banks

622
00:36:25,440 --> 00:36:28,120
Speaker 4: are not allowing them to do business within the bank,

623
00:36:28,160 --> 00:36:31,160
Speaker 4: and that included a place called Bank of America, this

624
00:36:31,320 --> 00:36:34,719
Speaker 4: conservative They don't take conservative business. And I don't know

625
00:36:34,719 --> 00:36:37,560
Speaker 4: if the regulators mandated that because of Biden or what,

626
00:36:37,600 --> 00:36:40,719
Speaker 4: but you and Jamie and everybody, I hope you're going

627
00:36:40,800 --> 00:36:43,399
Speaker 4: to open your banks to conservatives because what you're doing

628
00:36:43,480 --> 00:36:43,880
Speaker 4: is wrong.

629
00:36:46,520 --> 00:36:49,640
Speaker 8: Mister President. I'll say that your friend Gianni was set

630
00:36:49,680 --> 00:36:52,160
Speaker 8: alone told me tell you a lowe And we look

631
00:36:52,200 --> 00:36:54,760
Speaker 8: forward to a sponsored a World Cup when it comes,

632
00:36:55,360 --> 00:36:57,160
Speaker 8: both this summer for the club and next year. So

633
00:36:57,160 --> 00:36:59,000
Speaker 8: thank you for getting that for the United States.

634
00:37:00,000 --> 00:37:03,439
Speaker 5: Thank you very much, Brian, thank you, mister President. Will

635
00:37:03,719 --> 00:37:07,680
Speaker 5: now go to Anna Abutin. She's the executive chairman of

636
00:37:07,840 --> 00:37:12,880
Speaker 5: Bank Santander, one of the big European banks and also

637
00:37:12,920 --> 00:37:13,520
Speaker 5: in the US.

638
00:37:13,600 --> 00:37:20,080
Speaker 9: So Anna, mister President, congratulations on a historic victory. I

639
00:37:20,320 --> 00:37:22,799
Speaker 9: believe you don't know me as well as my fellow panelists,

640
00:37:22,840 --> 00:37:26,240
Speaker 9: So a few words. Santander is one of the largest

641
00:37:26,239 --> 00:37:28,840
Speaker 9: banks in the world by number of customers one hundred

642
00:37:28,880 --> 00:37:32,239
Speaker 9: and seventy million. That's more than my friend Brian or

643
00:37:32,239 --> 00:37:33,120
Speaker 9: my friend Jamie have.

644
00:37:35,640 --> 00:37:36,360
Speaker 1: And those.

645
00:37:40,719 --> 00:37:43,640
Speaker 8: The fixture regulations.

646
00:37:43,160 --> 00:37:44,120
Speaker 9: That's coming, that's coming.

647
00:37:44,280 --> 00:37:45,000
Speaker 3: That was Chiky.

648
00:37:46,960 --> 00:37:49,640
Speaker 9: We're a big investor in the United States. We have

649
00:37:49,719 --> 00:37:53,200
Speaker 9: many million customers, twelve thousand employees with one of the

650
00:37:53,280 --> 00:37:57,200
Speaker 9: largest auto landers, and we recently launched a fully digital

651
00:37:57,239 --> 00:38:01,239
Speaker 9: bank called open Bank. We strongly believe banks have a

652
00:38:01,400 --> 00:38:05,120
Speaker 9: pivotal role in the economy and we can accelerate growth

653
00:38:05,200 --> 00:38:07,759
Speaker 9: and help many more customers. That's what we're do in

654
00:38:07,760 --> 00:38:12,160
Speaker 9: the United States. So, as Brian pointed out, we very

655
00:38:12,239 --> 00:38:17,160
Speaker 9: much welcome your focus on the regulation and reducing bureaucracy.

656
00:38:17,960 --> 00:38:21,120
Speaker 9: So my question is what are your priorities in this

657
00:38:21,239 --> 00:38:24,759
Speaker 9: regard and how fast is this going to happen. Thank

658
00:38:24,800 --> 00:38:25,520
Speaker 9: you very much.

659
00:38:26,080 --> 00:38:28,440
Speaker 1: I think it's going to Thank you and congratulations.

660
00:38:28,480 --> 00:38:31,759
Speaker 4: I know very much about your bank, and you've done

661
00:38:31,760 --> 00:38:36,960
Speaker 4: a fantastic job. Congratulations. We are going to move very quickly.

662
00:38:37,120 --> 00:38:39,880
Speaker 4: We've moved very quickly. We've done things in the last

663
00:38:40,320 --> 00:38:43,440
Speaker 4: three days that nobody thought were possible to do in years,

664
00:38:44,239 --> 00:38:46,080
Speaker 4: and it's all taken.

665
00:38:46,440 --> 00:38:47,440
Speaker 1: It's all taken.

666
00:38:47,640 --> 00:38:49,319
Speaker 4: A fact, it's going to have a huge impact on

667
00:38:49,360 --> 00:38:52,400
Speaker 4: the economy, a huge positive impact. Money was being wasted

668
00:38:52,520 --> 00:38:55,799
Speaker 4: on crazy things. I mean, the Green New Deal was

669
00:38:55,840 --> 00:39:01,040
Speaker 4: such a total disgrace. How that was perpetrated, and it

670
00:39:01,080 --> 00:39:05,279
Speaker 4: was conceived of by people that were average students, less

671
00:39:05,280 --> 00:39:08,759
Speaker 4: than average students, I might add, and never even took

672
00:39:08,880 --> 00:39:12,840
Speaker 4: a course in energy or the environment. It was just

673
00:39:12,920 --> 00:39:14,840
Speaker 4: a game. Remember the world was going to end in

674
00:39:14,880 --> 00:39:18,040
Speaker 4: twelve years. Remember that, Well, the twelve years is coming gone.

675
00:39:18,080 --> 00:39:20,239
Speaker 4: It was going to end. It was going to all

676
00:39:20,680 --> 00:39:23,640
Speaker 4: foam into earth. But you know, the time has come.

677
00:39:23,880 --> 00:39:31,080
Speaker 4: These people and they really they really scared the Democrats large.

678
00:39:31,120 --> 00:39:32,520
Speaker 1: I can't say the Republicans.

679
00:39:32,719 --> 00:39:35,920
Speaker 4: Republicans maybe could have fought harder to stop it, but

680
00:39:36,000 --> 00:39:39,640
Speaker 4: it's been a tremendous waste of a tremendous waste of money.

681
00:39:39,680 --> 00:39:42,520
Speaker 4: You know, during my four years, we had the cleanest

682
00:39:42,520 --> 00:39:44,480
Speaker 4: are we had the cleanest water, and yet we had

683
00:39:44,480 --> 00:39:46,960
Speaker 4: the most productive economy in the history of our country.

684
00:39:47,000 --> 00:39:51,200
Speaker 4: We had the most productive economy until COVID came. We

685
00:39:51,280 --> 00:39:53,440
Speaker 4: had the most productive in the history of our country

686
00:39:53,480 --> 00:39:59,479
Speaker 4: by far. And actually you could look worldwide, we were

687
00:39:59,520 --> 00:40:02,719
Speaker 4: beating every everybody from China to everybody else. So and

688
00:40:02,800 --> 00:40:06,280
Speaker 4: we think we really now, with what we have learned

689
00:40:06,400 --> 00:40:10,000
Speaker 4: and all of the other things that have taken place,

690
00:40:10,600 --> 00:40:14,160
Speaker 4: we think we can even far surpass that, actually far

691
00:40:14,280 --> 00:40:15,160
Speaker 4: far surpass it.

692
00:40:15,600 --> 00:40:16,080
Speaker 1: But we do.

693
00:40:16,320 --> 00:40:18,000
Speaker 4: One thing we're going to be demanding is we're going

694
00:40:18,040 --> 00:40:23,319
Speaker 4: to be demanding respect from other nations. Canada. We have

695
00:40:23,360 --> 00:40:25,680
Speaker 4: a tremendous deficit with Canada. We're not going to have

696
00:40:25,719 --> 00:40:28,200
Speaker 4: that anymore. We can't do it. I don't know if

697
00:40:28,200 --> 00:40:31,480
Speaker 4: it's good for them. As you probably know, I say,

698
00:40:31,520 --> 00:40:34,360
Speaker 4: you can always become a state and of your estate,

699
00:40:34,480 --> 00:40:36,640
Speaker 4: we won't have a deficit, we won't have to teify you,

700
00:40:36,719 --> 00:40:39,600
Speaker 4: et cetera, et cetera. But Canada has been very tough

701
00:40:39,640 --> 00:40:42,279
Speaker 4: to deal with over the years, and it's not fair

702
00:40:42,320 --> 00:40:44,399
Speaker 4: that we should have a two hundred billion or two

703
00:40:44,440 --> 00:40:48,040
Speaker 4: hundred and fifty billion dollar deficit. We don't need them

704
00:40:48,080 --> 00:40:50,040
Speaker 4: to make our cars, and they make a lot of them.

705
00:40:50,400 --> 00:40:53,080
Speaker 4: We don't need their lumber because we have our own forests,

706
00:40:53,080 --> 00:40:54,000
Speaker 4: et cetera, et cetera.

707
00:40:54,040 --> 00:40:56,759
Speaker 1: We don't need their oil and gas. We have more

708
00:40:56,800 --> 00:40:57,480
Speaker 1: than anybody.

709
00:40:58,239 --> 00:41:02,439
Speaker 4: So, you know, just as an example with Mexico, we're

710
00:41:02,440 --> 00:41:06,000
Speaker 4: dealing with Mexico, I think very well, and we're just

711
00:41:06,400 --> 00:41:08,400
Speaker 4: you know, we just want to be treated fairly with

712
00:41:08,480 --> 00:41:10,840
Speaker 4: other nations, because there's.

713
00:41:10,719 --> 00:41:13,320
Speaker 1: Hardly a nation in the world.

714
00:41:13,400 --> 00:41:15,200
Speaker 4: And I blame this on us, and I blame it

715
00:41:15,200 --> 00:41:21,359
Speaker 4: on politicians that for some reason, probably mostly it's stupidity,

716
00:41:21,400 --> 00:41:25,440
Speaker 4: but you could also say other reasons, but mostly stupidity.

717
00:41:25,440 --> 00:41:27,080
Speaker 1: They've allowed other nations.

718
00:41:26,719 --> 00:41:30,120
Speaker 4: To take advantage of the US, and we can't allow

719
00:41:30,160 --> 00:41:31,200
Speaker 4: that to happen anymore.

720
00:41:31,200 --> 00:41:32,080
Speaker 1: You know, we have debt.

721
00:41:32,440 --> 00:41:35,040
Speaker 4: It's a very small debt when you compare it to

722
00:41:35,120 --> 00:41:37,279
Speaker 4: value the value of the assets that we have.

723
00:41:37,440 --> 00:41:38,879
Speaker 1: But we don't want to do that.

724
00:41:38,960 --> 00:41:42,879
Speaker 4: We want to just have debt be obliterated, and we'll

725
00:41:42,920 --> 00:41:46,359
Speaker 4: be able to do that fairly rapidly, and a lot

726
00:41:46,400 --> 00:41:49,359
Speaker 4: of good things are going to happen, and honestly, good

727
00:41:49,440 --> 00:41:51,120
Speaker 4: things are going to happen for the world, and good

728
00:41:51,239 --> 00:41:52,879
Speaker 4: things are going to happen for the people that are

729
00:41:52,880 --> 00:41:56,320
Speaker 4: dealing with us, allies and beyond allies.

730
00:41:56,800 --> 00:41:57,920
Speaker 1: One thing very important.

731
00:41:57,960 --> 00:42:00,719
Speaker 4: I really would like to be able to meet with

732
00:42:00,840 --> 00:42:04,000
Speaker 4: President Putin soon and get that war ended. And that's

733
00:42:04,040 --> 00:42:07,359
Speaker 4: not from the standpoint of economy or anything else. It's

734
00:42:07,360 --> 00:42:10,520
Speaker 4: from the standpoint of millions of lives are being wasted.

735
00:42:11,000 --> 00:42:15,239
Speaker 4: Beautiful young people are being shot in the battlefield. You know,

736
00:42:15,320 --> 00:42:18,279
Speaker 4: the bullet very flat land, as I said, and the

737
00:42:18,320 --> 00:42:22,520
Speaker 4: bullet goes there's no there's no hiding and a bullet.

738
00:42:22,520 --> 00:42:24,160
Speaker 4: The only thing is to stop the bullet is a

739
00:42:24,239 --> 00:42:27,719
Speaker 4: human body. And you have to see I've seen pictures

740
00:42:28,080 --> 00:42:31,280
Speaker 4: of what's taken place. It's a carnage. And we really

741
00:42:31,320 --> 00:42:33,840
Speaker 4: have to stop that war. That war is horrible. And

742
00:42:33,880 --> 00:42:36,759
Speaker 4: I'm not talking economy, I'm not talking economics, I'm not

743
00:42:36,840 --> 00:42:41,120
Speaker 4: talking about natural resource. I'm just talking about there's so

744
00:42:41,239 --> 00:42:44,239
Speaker 4: many young people being killed in this war. And that's

745
00:42:44,320 --> 00:42:47,160
Speaker 4: not including the people that have been killed as the

746
00:42:47,160 --> 00:42:50,480
Speaker 4: cities are being you know, knocked down, building by building,

747
00:42:50,640 --> 00:42:54,239
Speaker 4: So we really should get that stopped. Likewise in the

748
00:42:54,239 --> 00:42:56,680
Speaker 4: Middle East. I think we've made a lot of progress

749
00:42:56,719 --> 00:42:59,680
Speaker 4: in the Middle East, and I think that's going to

750
00:42:59,719 --> 00:43:01,880
Speaker 4: come pretty well.

751
00:43:02,160 --> 00:43:04,839
Speaker 5: Thank you, Thank you, mister President. So we know that

752
00:43:04,960 --> 00:43:09,719
Speaker 5: the most consequential relationship in the world is between the

753
00:43:09,840 --> 00:43:14,360
Speaker 5: US and China. US twenty eight percent of the global economy,

754
00:43:14,480 --> 00:43:17,480
Speaker 5: China close to twenty that's almost half of the global GDP.

755
00:43:18,120 --> 00:43:24,160
Speaker 5: And we know that you called presentiationping last Friday. We

756
00:43:24,600 --> 00:43:26,640
Speaker 5: heard that you had a good discussion. How do you

757
00:43:26,680 --> 00:43:30,000
Speaker 5: see the relationship between the US and China in the

758
00:43:30,040 --> 00:43:32,600
Speaker 5: next four years under your leadership.

759
00:43:34,000 --> 00:43:38,319
Speaker 4: He called me. But I see it very good. I

760
00:43:38,360 --> 00:43:42,640
Speaker 4: think that we're going to have a very good relationship.

761
00:43:43,280 --> 00:43:45,600
Speaker 4: All we want is fairness. We just want a level

762
00:43:45,600 --> 00:43:47,680
Speaker 4: of playing field. We don't want to take advantage. We've

763
00:43:47,719 --> 00:43:52,840
Speaker 4: been having massive deficits with China. Biden allowed it to

764
00:43:52,880 --> 00:43:57,440
Speaker 4: get out of hand. He's one point one trillion dollar deficits. Ridiculous,

765
00:43:57,960 --> 00:44:01,319
Speaker 4: and it's just an unfair relationship. And we have to

766
00:44:01,360 --> 00:44:03,920
Speaker 4: make it just fair. We don't have to make it phenomenal.

767
00:44:03,960 --> 00:44:06,239
Speaker 4: We have to make it a fair relationship. Right now,

768
00:44:06,239 --> 00:44:10,560
Speaker 4: it's not a fair relationship. The deficit is massive, as

769
00:44:10,600 --> 00:44:13,560
Speaker 4: it is with other countries, a lot of Asian countries actually,

770
00:44:13,600 --> 00:44:16,040
Speaker 4: but we have deficits that are very big and we

771
00:44:16,160 --> 00:44:18,839
Speaker 4: can't keep doing that. So we're not going to keep

772
00:44:18,880 --> 00:44:22,640
Speaker 4: doing that. But I like President She very much. I've

773
00:44:22,640 --> 00:44:25,240
Speaker 4: always liked him. We always had a very good relationship.

774
00:44:25,520 --> 00:44:28,200
Speaker 4: It was very strained with COVID coming out of Wuhan.

775
00:44:29,239 --> 00:44:31,880
Speaker 4: Obviously that's strained it. I'm sure it's strained it with

776
00:44:31,880 --> 00:44:35,920
Speaker 4: a lot of people, but that strained our relationship. But

777
00:44:36,120 --> 00:44:39,040
Speaker 4: we always had a great relationship, I would say, And

778
00:44:39,440 --> 00:44:41,600
Speaker 4: we look forward to doing very well with China and

779
00:44:41,640 --> 00:44:45,200
Speaker 4: getting along with China. Hopefully China can help us stop

780
00:44:45,239 --> 00:44:48,440
Speaker 4: the war with in particular Russia Ukraine, and they have

781
00:44:49,040 --> 00:44:53,120
Speaker 4: a great deal of power over that situation, and we'll

782
00:44:53,120 --> 00:44:55,440
Speaker 4: work with them. And I mentioned that with during our

783
00:44:55,440 --> 00:44:59,200
Speaker 4: phone conversation with President She, and hopefully we could work

784
00:44:59,239 --> 00:44:59,960
Speaker 4: together and get the.

785
00:45:00,200 --> 00:45:03,600
Speaker 1: Stop we'd like to see de nuclearization.

786
00:45:03,840 --> 00:45:08,240
Speaker 4: In fact, with President Putin prior to an election result,

787
00:45:08,239 --> 00:45:13,600
Speaker 4: which was frankly ridiculous, we were talking about the nuclearization

788
00:45:13,880 --> 00:45:16,800
Speaker 4: of our two countries and China would have come along.

789
00:45:16,920 --> 00:45:19,440
Speaker 1: China has a much.

790
00:45:19,239 --> 00:45:23,560
Speaker 4: Smaller right now nuclear armament than us or field than us,

791
00:45:23,600 --> 00:45:26,399
Speaker 4: but they're going to be catching it at some point

792
00:45:26,480 --> 00:45:27,800
Speaker 4: over the next four or five years.

793
00:45:28,320 --> 00:45:30,400
Speaker 1: And I will.

794
00:45:30,160 --> 00:45:32,840
Speaker 4: Tell you that President Putin really liked the idea of

795
00:45:33,960 --> 00:45:37,439
Speaker 4: cutting way back on nuclear and I think the rest

796
00:45:37,440 --> 00:45:39,440
Speaker 4: of the world we would have gotten them to follow,

797
00:45:39,880 --> 00:45:41,279
Speaker 4: and China would have come along too.

798
00:45:41,360 --> 00:45:42,480
Speaker 1: China also liked it.

799
00:45:43,200 --> 00:45:46,799
Speaker 4: Tremendous amounts of money of being spent on nuclear and

800
00:45:46,880 --> 00:45:50,200
Speaker 4: the destructive capability is something that we don't even want

801
00:45:50,200 --> 00:45:52,880
Speaker 4: to talk about today because you don't want to hear

802
00:45:52,880 --> 00:45:55,920
Speaker 4: it's too depressing. So we want to see if we

803
00:45:55,960 --> 00:46:00,279
Speaker 4: can denuclearize. And I think that's very possible. And I

804
00:46:00,320 --> 00:46:02,360
Speaker 4: can tell you that President Putin wanted to do it.

805
00:46:02,360 --> 00:46:06,319
Speaker 4: He and I wanted to do it. We had a

806
00:46:06,360 --> 00:46:09,640
Speaker 4: good conversation with China. They would have been involved, and

807
00:46:09,680 --> 00:46:12,120
Speaker 4: that would have been an unbelievable thing for the planet.

808
00:46:14,480 --> 00:46:17,480
Speaker 5: Is a president when your back carrying doubles next year,

809
00:46:17,960 --> 00:46:22,000
Speaker 5: will there be then a peace agreement with Ukraine and

810
00:46:22,080 --> 00:46:24,480
Speaker 5: Russia by then, Well.

811
00:46:24,360 --> 00:46:27,160
Speaker 4: You're going to have to ask Russia. Ukraine is ready

812
00:46:27,200 --> 00:46:30,320
Speaker 4: to make a deal. Just so you understand, this is

813
00:46:30,320 --> 00:46:32,719
Speaker 4: a war that should have never started. If I were president,

814
00:46:32,760 --> 00:46:35,360
Speaker 4: it would never have started. This is a war that

815
00:46:35,400 --> 00:46:39,960
Speaker 4: should have never ever been started, and it wasn't started

816
00:46:40,040 --> 00:46:42,200
Speaker 4: doing mine. There was never even talk about it. I

817
00:46:42,280 --> 00:46:45,560
Speaker 4: knew that it was the apple of President Putin's eye,

818
00:46:45,560 --> 00:46:47,520
Speaker 4: but I also knew that there was no way he

819
00:46:47,600 --> 00:46:49,319
Speaker 4: was going in, and he wasn't going to go in.

820
00:46:50,080 --> 00:46:55,879
Speaker 4: And then when I was out, bad things happened, bad

821
00:46:55,920 --> 00:47:00,080
Speaker 4: things were said, a lot of stupidity all around. And

822
00:47:00,280 --> 00:47:02,200
Speaker 4: with what you have now you have all these bombed

823
00:47:02,200 --> 00:47:06,040
Speaker 4: out cities, they look like demolition sites with many people killed.

824
00:47:06,360 --> 00:47:09,040
Speaker 4: I think the thing that you'll see about Ukraine is

825
00:47:09,040 --> 00:47:12,800
Speaker 4: that far more people have died than is being reported.

826
00:47:13,840 --> 00:47:17,120
Speaker 4: And I've seen that, but far far more people have died.

827
00:47:17,200 --> 00:47:20,399
Speaker 4: When you look at a city that's become a demolition site,

828
00:47:20,440 --> 00:47:24,040
Speaker 4: where big buildings have been collapsed by missiles hitting them

829
00:47:24,080 --> 00:47:29,520
Speaker 4: and everything else, and they say one person was slightly injured. Now,

830
00:47:29,600 --> 00:47:32,400
Speaker 4: now many people were killed. Those are big buildings. I

831
00:47:32,480 --> 00:47:35,719
Speaker 4: was surprised at how that was my business. These are

832
00:47:35,719 --> 00:47:38,120
Speaker 4: buildings that go two and three blocks long, they're twenty

833
00:47:38,160 --> 00:47:38,879
Speaker 4: stories high.

834
00:47:39,239 --> 00:47:41,040
Speaker 1: They're big, powerful buildings.

835
00:47:40,719 --> 00:47:42,640
Speaker 4: And they were knocked down and there were a lot

836
00:47:42,680 --> 00:47:45,280
Speaker 4: of people in those buildings that announced that two people

837
00:47:45,320 --> 00:47:46,000
Speaker 4: were injured.

838
00:47:46,400 --> 00:47:47,240
Speaker 1: That's not true.

839
00:47:47,680 --> 00:47:49,279
Speaker 4: So I think you're going to find that there were

840
00:47:49,320 --> 00:47:51,839
Speaker 4: many more people killed in Ukraine and the Ukraine War

841
00:47:51,920 --> 00:47:55,480
Speaker 4: than anybody has any idea. But if you look now,

842
00:47:55,600 --> 00:47:59,080
Speaker 4: so many of the people being killed as soldiers just

843
00:47:59,160 --> 00:48:02,879
Speaker 4: facing each other with guns, rifles and drones the new

844
00:48:02,920 --> 00:48:06,480
Speaker 4: form of warfare, drones, and it's a very sad thing

845
00:48:06,520 --> 00:48:09,120
Speaker 4: to see. And when you see pictures of the fields

846
00:48:09,400 --> 00:48:12,040
Speaker 4: that I see, nobody wants to see it.

847
00:48:12,120 --> 00:48:13,200
Speaker 1: You'll never be the same.

848
00:48:15,520 --> 00:48:19,960
