WEBVTT - Inside Trump's Cabinet 0:00:00.000 --> 0:00:02.280 All right, News round up and information overload hour. Here's 0:00:02.279 --> 0:00:04.120 our toll free telephone number if you want to be 0:00:04.120 --> 0:00:05.800 a part of the program. It's eight hundred and nine 0:00:05.840 --> 0:00:08.440 four one sean if you want to join us. The 0:00:08.480 --> 0:00:14.000 President had a very very critical and important Cabinet meeting today. 0:00:14.320 --> 0:00:17.880 I love the fact that he televises it. Then he 0:00:17.960 --> 0:00:21.200 took questions from the press, but a wide variety of issues, 0:00:21.239 --> 0:00:26.160 from the economy, to Cuba, to Venezuela to a ran. 0:00:26.400 --> 0:00:30.080 I mean, it ran the gamut, and I think it's 0:00:30.120 --> 0:00:33.479 important that everybody hear this. Let me play the actual 0:00:33.920 --> 0:00:35.960 meeting part, and then we'll get to some of the 0:00:36.040 --> 0:00:38.320 q and a that he had with the legacy media 0:00:38.400 --> 0:00:40.280 mob that's coming up straight ahead as well. Let me 0:00:40.280 --> 0:00:41.080 play that first. 0:00:41.640 --> 0:00:44.680 A few words to say to you that I think 0:00:44.720 --> 0:00:45.400 will be helpful. 0:00:45.600 --> 0:00:48.959 Last night was incredible, not only Texas but so. 0:00:48.960 --> 0:00:50.159 Many other places, and. 0:00:50.280 --> 0:00:53.240 The numbers were fantastic, and they've really been that way 0:00:53.280 --> 0:00:58.120 for a year. If you look, hundreds of people want 0:00:58.920 --> 0:01:01.480 and almost nobody didn't win. 0:01:02.480 --> 0:01:05.679 But last night was very very powerful. 0:01:06.080 --> 0:01:08.800 So I'm thrilled to welcome everyone to the twelfth Cabinet 0:01:08.800 --> 0:01:11.600 Meeting of our administration. And we're doing something that no 0:01:11.680 --> 0:01:16.319 administration's ever done. We're always letting the press students because 0:01:16.319 --> 0:01:20.000 we're very open and transparent. Like the word transparent, but 0:01:20.080 --> 0:01:24.800 we're more transparent than any administration in history. To the 0:01:24.800 --> 0:01:27.360 best of my knowledge, press has never been invited ever 0:01:27.440 --> 0:01:31.440 to a cabinet meeting for any reason at all. And 0:01:33.080 --> 0:01:35.200 in order to have you, this team has achieved more 0:01:35.280 --> 0:01:37.440 than most other administrations achieved. 0:01:37.440 --> 0:01:39.200 In eight years. 0:01:40.160 --> 0:01:43.160 We took the most dangerous, unsafe island and open border 0:01:43.160 --> 0:01:45.959 in the world. Anywhere in the world, there's no border 0:01:46.000 --> 0:01:48.960 like the border we had, and created the most secure 0:01:49.000 --> 0:01:51.760 border in the history of our country. We had no 0:01:51.840 --> 0:01:55.680 people twelve months now, No people reported in the last twelve. 0:01:55.360 --> 0:01:57.600 Months came in illegally. 0:01:57.720 --> 0:02:00.280 Zero illegal aliens admitted to the United States in the 0:02:00.320 --> 0:02:03.080 last twelve months. And that's those charts are made by 0:02:03.600 --> 0:02:05.520 you would say, politically unfriendly people. 0:02:05.960 --> 0:02:07.160 And the reason they don't come. 0:02:07.000 --> 0:02:09.119 In is because nobody comes up because they know that 0:02:09.880 --> 0:02:11.960 they're going to be turned away and if they get in, 0:02:12.000 --> 0:02:13.520 they're going to be moved out right away. 0:02:13.680 --> 0:02:16.240 So it's been the zero. You're the one that you 0:02:16.320 --> 0:02:17.119 do the reports. 0:02:17.200 --> 0:02:19.120 I'm actually surprised by the number, and I don't know 0:02:19.120 --> 0:02:22.160 how it can be zero, but they say it zero. 0:02:22.240 --> 0:02:24.560 For the last twelve months and twenty twenty five, we 0:02:24.600 --> 0:02:27.959 achieved the largest drop and the murder rate ever recorded. 0:02:28.160 --> 0:02:32.280 So the murder rate was quite high, and we achieved 0:02:32.280 --> 0:02:35.840 the largest drop in the murder rate ever recorded to 0:02:35.919 --> 0:02:38.120 the lowest level one hundred and twenty five years. That's 0:02:38.120 --> 0:02:41.320 see in nineteen hundred and that's despite the fact that 0:02:41.360 --> 0:02:45.519 many people came in from prisons and from very rough countries, 0:02:45.560 --> 0:02:49.240 and from mental institutions, and from lots of other places, 0:02:49.280 --> 0:02:54.000 drug dealers, others. They came in illegally during the Biden administration. 0:02:54.440 --> 0:02:57.120 We've got many of them out, but we still have 0:02:57.200 --> 0:02:59.160 some that we're looking for. Quite a few that we're 0:02:59.160 --> 0:03:03.080 still looking for. We've gotten over eleven eight hundred and 0:03:03.120 --> 0:03:05.880 eighty eight murderers we're allowed into a country. 0:03:05.919 --> 0:03:07.680 We've gotten a lot of them out. We've gotten some 0:03:07.720 --> 0:03:08.680 them we put them in jail. 0:03:08.680 --> 0:03:13.920 We don't even trust the country to send them because they'll. 0:03:12.639 --> 0:03:14.880 Come back in maybe we put them in jail. 0:03:15.800 --> 0:03:19.040 Eight hundred and eighty eight murders, more than half of 0:03:19.080 --> 0:03:20.919 which have committed. 0:03:20.520 --> 0:03:23.240 More than one murder. That's what they allowed in. They should. 0:03:23.480 --> 0:03:25.880 They can never be forgotten for the horrible things they've 0:03:25.919 --> 0:03:29.600 done to this country. Fentanyl coming across our voter is 0:03:29.639 --> 0:03:34.600 now down by sixty one percent, sixty one percent, and 0:03:34.960 --> 0:03:39.080 coming in by water, by sea, by ocean is down 0:03:39.400 --> 0:03:40.520 ninety seven percent. 0:03:40.720 --> 0:03:41.280 Can you mention? 0:03:41.880 --> 0:03:44.920 Thanks to our Republican majorities in Congress, we passed the 0:03:45.000 --> 0:03:49.120 largest tax cuts in American history. All Democrats voted against 0:03:49.160 --> 0:03:53.040 the tax cuts, putting more money in American spockets. This year, 0:03:53.160 --> 0:03:57.200 the typical family got tax refunds of nearly almost less 0:03:57.200 --> 0:04:00.680 of five thousand dollars. The stock market is set sixty 0:04:00.720 --> 0:04:04.760 eight all time record highs since the election, So sixty 0:04:04.800 --> 0:04:07.640 eight days we hit all time highs. We're right there now. 0:04:08.440 --> 0:04:10.840 And the average four o one K. And that's despite 0:04:10.880 --> 0:04:13.960 the conflict. I don't go to war, I called a conflict, 0:04:14.360 --> 0:04:18.799 despite the conflict with Venezuela, who no longer has a navy, 0:04:18.839 --> 0:04:22.240 no longer has an air force, no longer has a 0:04:22.240 --> 0:04:25.040 lot of people that were leading the country into very 0:04:25.080 --> 0:04:30.120 bad places. Their leadership is gone, Their second wrong leadership 0:04:30.200 --> 0:04:32.560 is gone. We're dealing with the half of their third 0:04:32.560 --> 0:04:35.480 because half of their third is gone. Ten the average 0:04:35.520 --> 0:04:38.760 four O one k is up almost thirty thousand dollars 0:04:38.760 --> 0:04:39.160 since I. 0:04:39.160 --> 0:04:42.359 Took office, So the Americans are. 0:04:42.200 --> 0:04:45.240 Benefiting working today, we have the most working and we 0:04:45.279 --> 0:04:47.360 have four O one k's at their all time high, 0:04:48.279 --> 0:04:51.400 highest they've ever been. And that goes alone with the 0:04:51.400 --> 0:04:55.120 stock market, which is the highest etceverament under my most 0:04:55.200 --> 0:04:57.719 favorite nation agreements. This is something that I wish the 0:04:58.279 --> 0:05:00.320 media would talk about because to me, it's one of 0:05:00.320 --> 0:05:03.480 the biggest things ever to happen in our country, certainly 0:05:03.560 --> 0:05:08.159 as to medical, anything happen to do with medical because 0:05:08.240 --> 0:05:12.719 drug prices. We're delivering records setting discounts on prescription drugs 0:05:12.760 --> 0:05:16.480 with price differences of four hundred, five hundred and even 0:05:16.520 --> 0:05:20.520 six hundred percent at the Trump rx dot gov. We 0:05:20.600 --> 0:05:25.160 recently added nearly one thousand low costs low cost generics 0:05:25.200 --> 0:05:29.599 to the website. So we have drugs down four hundred, 0:05:29.640 --> 0:05:31.880 five hundred, six hundred percent. Now you could say eighty 0:05:32.040 --> 0:05:36.440 ninety seventy sixty to fifty percent if you want. There 0:05:36.440 --> 0:05:38.640 are two ways. That depends on the way you asked the question. 0:05:39.400 --> 0:05:42.680 But a pill that would sell in Germany or let's 0:05:42.720 --> 0:05:46.839 say in London for ten dollars we're selling for here 0:05:46.920 --> 0:05:50.800 for one hundred and thirty dollars, and I got the 0:05:50.800 --> 0:05:53.160 countries to all agree, otherwise they would have had to 0:05:53.160 --> 0:05:56.719 pay big tariffs. I don't want to go into it, 0:05:56.760 --> 0:05:58.640 but it has some very interesting discussions. 0:05:58.680 --> 0:05:59.720 They said vehemently no. 0:06:00.000 --> 0:06:01.599 And then when I said, that's all right, We're going 0:06:01.680 --> 0:06:05.000 to charge you fifty percent error on everything you sell 0:06:05.000 --> 0:06:08.640 into America, they said, well, like we said, we'll say yes, 0:06:08.880 --> 0:06:12.839 And every single country agreed, and every drug company agreed, 0:06:13.080 --> 0:06:13.560 So we have. 0:06:13.560 --> 0:06:14.640 Most favored nations. 0:06:14.680 --> 0:06:17.040 So we were paying the highest drug prices in the world. 0:06:17.160 --> 0:06:19.160 Now we're paying the lowest drug prices. 0:06:18.800 --> 0:06:19.240 In the world. 0:06:19.360 --> 0:06:21.880 So that pill that I talked about would go from 0:06:22.440 --> 0:06:24.760 ten dollars to twenty. The world is bigger than the 0:06:24.880 --> 0:06:28.320 US or to believe, but it's true, so it's not 0:06:28.520 --> 0:06:29.960 like you cut it in the middle. 0:06:30.200 --> 0:06:32.320 They just had to go up a little bit. 0:06:32.360 --> 0:06:34.120 But a little bit is a double leg of a price, 0:06:34.120 --> 0:06:37.520 so a little bit's a lot. So the pill would 0:06:37.560 --> 0:06:41.359 go from ten dollars to twenty dollars, and we'd go 0:06:41.440 --> 0:06:44.839 from one hundred and thirty dollars to twenty dollars. 0:06:45.200 --> 0:06:45.640 Think of that. 0:06:46.800 --> 0:06:48.919 So we would get if you remember some of you 0:06:48.960 --> 0:06:49.880 were at the news conference. 0:06:49.960 --> 0:06:52.080 Had my first term where I got the prices down 0:06:52.200 --> 0:06:52.880 one eighth. 0:06:52.640 --> 0:06:55.320 Of a percent, one quarter one eighth of a percent 0:06:55.480 --> 0:06:58.440 my first term, and I'm so proud of it because prices, 0:06:58.560 --> 0:07:01.000 drug prices hadn't come down twenty eight years, and I 0:07:01.080 --> 0:07:03.520 was the first one to do it. But now I'm 0:07:03.560 --> 0:07:06.160 getting them down, not one eighth of a percent, I'm 0:07:06.160 --> 0:07:08.520 getting them down four hundred, five hundred and six hundred, 0:07:09.040 --> 0:07:10.760 or if you want to use it a different way, 0:07:10.840 --> 0:07:16.160 you could say seventy eight nine fifty percent. Nobody's ever 0:07:16.160 --> 0:07:19.760 seen anything like it, and I got that through well. 0:07:20.120 --> 0:07:23.400 Everybody knew was taking place. But we paid the highest 0:07:23.440 --> 0:07:26.120 prices anywhere in the world. Now we're paying the lowest 0:07:26.120 --> 0:07:29.760 prices anywhere in the world. And the press reviews is 0:07:29.840 --> 0:07:32.360 are right. I think it's the biggest thing. And for 0:07:32.480 --> 0:07:34.440 health care, you know, so much of it is prescription 0:07:34.600 --> 0:07:38.040 drug prices and drug prices, and with them coming down, 0:07:38.120 --> 0:07:40.440 the healthcare is going to come down very substantially. We 0:07:40.560 --> 0:07:43.520 recently added nearly one thousand low cost generics too, as 0:07:43.560 --> 0:07:48.480 I said, and that's you know, one thousand drugs, and 0:07:48.520 --> 0:07:51.320 it's all on and it's this was not a This 0:07:51.440 --> 0:07:54.760 was not given by me. This was given by doctor 0:07:54.800 --> 0:07:58.320 Oz and Bobby, and I, you know, wasn't sure whether 0:07:58.440 --> 0:08:00.680 or not I loved the idea, but he said, we 0:08:00.720 --> 0:08:03.520 want to use Trump Trump RX dot gov is what 0:08:04.160 --> 0:08:06.200 it is. And it's the hottest sight I think anywhere 0:08:06.200 --> 0:08:09.280 on the planet from what I understand Bobby, right, it's 0:08:09.320 --> 0:08:11.760 really great. People are calling up and they're buying drugs 0:08:11.760 --> 0:08:14.400 for a fraction for literally a fraction of the price, 0:08:15.000 --> 0:08:17.640 and it should be the biggest story. And on that alone, 0:08:17.720 --> 0:08:20.559 we should win the midterms. On that alone, we should 0:08:20.560 --> 0:08:23.440 win the midterms. But the press doesn't talk about It's 0:08:23.440 --> 0:08:25.720 the biggest thing to happen in the drug industry ever 0:08:25.800 --> 0:08:27.320 maybe ever. 0:08:27.400 --> 0:08:29.480 And the press doesn't want to write stories about it. 0:08:30.120 --> 0:08:32.880 We made the largest ever investment in the US military 0:08:32.920 --> 0:08:35.600 one trillion dollars and we're asking actually for one point 0:08:35.600 --> 0:08:39.320 five trillion for the coming year. And we have the 0:08:39.360 --> 0:08:42.000 strongest military anywhere in the world. As you know, you 0:08:42.040 --> 0:08:47.040 saw what we did with Venezuela. That worked out very quickly, 0:08:47.080 --> 0:08:49.960 and we're doing really equally as well. 0:08:51.520 --> 0:08:53.240 Again, people don't want to write about it. 0:08:53.280 --> 0:08:58.240 With Ran, Ran is very much intent they want very 0:08:58.320 --> 0:09:00.000 much to make a deal. So far they haven't gone, 0:09:00.160 --> 0:09:03.320 and we're not satisfied with it. But then we will be. 0:09:03.800 --> 0:09:05.640 We will be either that or we'll have to just 0:09:05.679 --> 0:09:09.559 finish the job. But the Navy is gone, as they've 0:09:09.559 --> 0:09:12.080 said a thousand times, the Navy is gone, their air 0:09:12.080 --> 0:09:13.000 force is gone. 0:09:13.440 --> 0:09:14.320 Everything's gone. 0:09:14.360 --> 0:09:17.120 And they're negotiating on fumes. 0:09:17.880 --> 0:09:19.760 But we'll see what happens. Maybe we have to go 0:09:19.800 --> 0:09:22.520 back and finish it. Maybe we don't. Right now. 0:09:23.600 --> 0:09:25.680 I mean, you can speak to Skate with Gough and 0:09:26.000 --> 0:09:29.040 Jarrett doing a good job, But right now I think 0:09:31.000 --> 0:09:32.640 it looks like they want to just make a deal. 0:09:32.679 --> 0:09:34.320 They want to, they have I don't think they have 0:09:34.360 --> 0:09:36.480 a choice. They're just going back to the internet because 0:09:36.520 --> 0:09:38.800 they getting club with their economies. 0:09:39.640 --> 0:09:40.240 In free fall. 0:09:40.960 --> 0:09:44.040 They have two hundred and fifty percent inflation, their money 0:09:44.080 --> 0:09:49.120 has no value, and their whole economic system is broken down. 0:09:49.800 --> 0:09:51.560 They thought they were going to outwait me. You know, 0:09:51.840 --> 0:09:54.120 we'll outwait him. He's got the midterms. I don't care 0:09:54.160 --> 0:09:56.160 about the midterms. Look what happened last night, and that 0:09:56.280 --> 0:09:59.719 was the prelude of the midterms. People understand that, they 0:09:59.720 --> 0:10:02.640 know that, but very simple the red cannot have a 0:10:02.720 --> 0:10:03.440 nuclear weapon. 0:10:03.480 --> 0:10:04.440 I'm doing that for the world. 0:10:04.520 --> 0:10:06.960 I'm not doing it just for us, and we've had 0:10:07.000 --> 0:10:09.680 great support from other nations. By the way, we don't 0:10:09.679 --> 0:10:12.760 need it at all, but we've had great support from 0:10:12.760 --> 0:10:15.400 other nations. The problem is you always get the support 0:10:15.440 --> 0:10:16.880 when you don't need it. When you need it, you 0:10:16.920 --> 0:10:19.760 don't get the support. With Operation Epic Cure or Warriors 0:10:19.760 --> 0:10:23.200 are ensuring that the world's number one stage sponsor of 0:10:23.280 --> 0:10:27.200 terror never obtains a nuclear weapon, and they won't another 0:10:27.240 --> 0:10:29.440 man doing the fantastic job. I think we all agree, 0:10:29.480 --> 0:10:32.400 as Marco, You're all over the place right what she 0:10:32.679 --> 0:10:36.360 last night, at three different locations, So tell us about 0:10:36.400 --> 0:10:36.719 our ran. 0:10:37.000 --> 0:10:39.440 Well, first of all, the bottom line is Iron's never 0:10:39.480 --> 0:10:41.840 going to have a nuclear weapon, and if recent events 0:10:41.840 --> 0:10:44.120 have done anything, has just remind us once again that 0:10:44.160 --> 0:10:47.199 they are the world's leading sponsor of terrorism and. 0:10:47.160 --> 0:10:48.600 They can never have a nuclear weapon. 0:10:48.880 --> 0:10:51.840 Now, the President's preference, President, your preference is told us 0:10:51.840 --> 0:10:54.480 repeatedly is always to negotiate these things and to figure 0:10:54.520 --> 0:10:56.600 out if you can have agreements. Diplomacy is always the 0:10:56.600 --> 0:11:00.880 first option, and we continue to work on that to yours, 0:11:01.120 --> 0:11:04.240 mister Woodkoff and Kushner and others Vice President who've been 0:11:04.320 --> 0:11:07.040 very involved in if if there's an agreement to be made, 0:11:07.040 --> 0:11:08.559 we want that to be made. I think there's been 0:11:08.559 --> 0:11:10.880 some progress and some interest, and we'll see over the 0:11:10.960 --> 0:11:13.199 next few hours and days where the projects could be made. 0:11:13.240 --> 0:11:15.280 I just want to remind everybody, mister President, you know 0:11:15.360 --> 0:11:17.679 this well. You have other options available to you if 0:11:17.720 --> 0:11:20.680 that doesn't work. But the bottom line is that we 0:11:20.800 --> 0:11:23.760 prefer the negotiated diplomatic route, and we're going to give 0:11:23.800 --> 0:11:25.720 it every chance to succeed. You know you're giving it 0:11:25.760 --> 0:11:28.200 every chance to succeed, mister President. But here's the bottom line. 0:11:28.240 --> 0:11:29.880 Because I keep getting asked, what is this all about, 0:11:29.920 --> 0:11:33.040 It's very simple. Iran and these people in charge of 0:11:33.040 --> 0:11:35.600 Iran can never have a nuclear weapon, and they will 0:11:35.600 --> 0:11:37.520 never have a nuclear weapon, and they most certainly will 0:11:37.559 --> 0:11:39.520 not have one as long as you're President of the 0:11:39.640 --> 0:11:42.160 United States. On that point, it's very clear. Just two 0:11:42.200 --> 0:11:44.199 quick things I want to touch upon. One key touched 0:11:44.280 --> 0:11:47.400 upon the border and security. Part of securing our border 0:11:48.120 --> 0:11:50.000 is dealing with the people that are in this country, 0:11:50.000 --> 0:11:51.840 a lawful many of whom do not want to go 0:11:51.920 --> 0:11:54.320 back to the country that they originally came from for 0:11:54.320 --> 0:11:56.320 a variety of reasons, either we can't send them there, 0:11:56.440 --> 0:11:58.439 or some judge ties us up. And one of the 0:11:58.520 --> 0:12:01.720 key things we have achieved is now twenty countries have 0:12:01.800 --> 0:12:04.960 signed third country national agreements, meaning these are safe countries 0:12:05.120 --> 0:12:07.560 where individuals who refuse to go back to their country 0:12:07.559 --> 0:12:10.080 of origin can be sent to that country instead. We've 0:12:10.080 --> 0:12:12.560 gotten twenty countries now around the world who have signed 0:12:12.559 --> 0:12:15.600 agreements that allow us to deport people to those places. 0:12:15.840 --> 0:12:18.640 What often happens when you go to the person who's 0:12:18.640 --> 0:12:20.520 here a lawfully and say we're going to send you 0:12:20.559 --> 0:12:22.400 to this third country, is all of a sudden they 0:12:22.440 --> 0:12:24.760 decide they'd rather go back to their home country instead. 0:12:25.120 --> 0:12:27.520 So it gives the ability to enforce all laws, and 0:12:27.559 --> 0:12:30.080 we work very closely with the Department of Homeland Security on 0:12:30.120 --> 0:12:32.800 that front. Something else that I know is concerning people 0:12:33.120 --> 0:12:36.400 because it's on the news, is ebola our number one obligation. 0:12:36.520 --> 0:12:38.480 You know, we're involved in foreign policy, but even our 0:12:38.520 --> 0:12:41.400 foreign policy, the number one priority of our foreign policies 0:12:41.480 --> 0:12:44.280 to protect the American people. We cannot and will not 0:12:44.400 --> 0:12:47.600 allow any cases of ebola enter the United States, and 0:12:47.640 --> 0:12:51.000 so we're very the state Department and other agencies represented here, 0:12:51.160 --> 0:12:54.520 the Centers of Disease Control AGHS, others are working very, 0:12:54.600 --> 0:12:58.320 very hard to contain this crisis to the countries where 0:12:58.320 --> 0:13:02.000 it's currently located, particularly the dem Credit Republic Chicago, and 0:13:02.280 --> 0:13:04.800 so we've surged assistance to make. 0:13:04.640 --> 0:13:06.520 Sure that that is being contained there. 0:13:06.720 --> 0:13:10.160 And obviously multiple agencies involved here are also very involved 0:13:10.160 --> 0:13:12.640 in tracking people just to make sure that nobody comes 0:13:12.679 --> 0:13:15.120 into this country that has a bowline creates a problem 0:13:15.160 --> 0:13:17.600 for us, and we feel like we've got good efforts 0:13:17.640 --> 0:13:20.440 in place to do that. An Americans should feel assured 0:13:20.440 --> 0:13:22.840 that the President and his administration is doing everything we 0:13:22.920 --> 0:13:25.320 can to protect them on that front. My last point said, 0:13:25.360 --> 0:13:26.680 I was all over the place. One of the places 0:13:26.679 --> 0:13:30.000 I stopped in last night was to initial the Trump 0:13:30.080 --> 0:13:34.240 route for prosperity in Armenia. This is a key linchpin 0:13:34.360 --> 0:13:37.200 of the peace deal that you were able to achieve 0:13:37.200 --> 0:13:40.160 between Armenia and Azerbaijan. And in addition to that, we 0:13:40.200 --> 0:13:44.000 also signed a critical minerals MoU with them and a 0:13:44.040 --> 0:13:47.560 strategic engagement one as well. So just a reminder of 0:13:47.559 --> 0:13:50.160 another war who helped the settlements to president, but from 0:13:50.240 --> 0:13:53.480 that has now we are seeing the emergence of a 0:13:53.480 --> 0:13:56.960 great new relationship with Armenia that really had grown stagnant 0:13:57.000 --> 0:13:57.560 for a very. 0:13:57.480 --> 0:14:00.320 Long period of time. So we're doing well in front 0:14:00.320 --> 0:14:04.000 as well. In to just asking Cuba and Venezuela, what's 0:14:04.040 --> 0:14:04.560 going on there? 0:14:04.679 --> 0:14:07.920 Well, interesting on Venezuela, that process continues, that three phase 0:14:08.000 --> 0:14:13.720 process you know of, obviously stabilization, recovery, and transition. I 0:14:13.720 --> 0:14:16.720 would just say just since January thirty this year, okay, 0:14:16.720 --> 0:14:16.920 and I. 0:14:16.880 --> 0:14:17.800 Think this number is writing. 0:14:18.960 --> 0:14:21.120 Chris or Doug can can correct me on this, but 0:14:21.680 --> 0:14:24.760 I think over ten million barrels I've benefit I've been 0:14:24.760 --> 0:14:27.600 delivered to the United States since the third of January. 0:14:27.760 --> 0:14:30.480 That industry is being professionalized for the first time ever. 0:14:30.640 --> 0:14:33.000 It's going to the benefit of the Venezuelan people. They 0:14:33.000 --> 0:14:35.280 are selling oil in the market at market rates. The 0:14:35.280 --> 0:14:38.600 money is going to an account in the United States 0:14:38.640 --> 0:14:42.520 controlled and monitored by Treasury, audited by KPMG, and it's 0:14:42.520 --> 0:14:44.440 for the first time ever, the money is not being stolen. 0:14:44.480 --> 0:14:47.600 It's going to the benefit of the Venezuelan people. Cuba's 0:14:47.600 --> 0:14:50.800 in a lot of trouble because, unfortunately for them, it's 0:14:50.880 --> 0:14:54.080 run by a bunch of incompetent communists. Being communists is bad. 0:14:54.160 --> 0:14:55.880 Being an incompetent communist. 0:14:55.600 --> 0:14:56.280 Is like the worst. 0:14:58.040 --> 0:15:00.200 But the country has been taken over by this company 0:15:00.240 --> 0:15:04.040 called basically controls seventy percent of the economy, none of 0:15:04.040 --> 0:15:07.240 the money, and that company goes to help the Cuban. 0:15:06.960 --> 0:15:09.120 People, none of them. So we'll be talking to them, 0:15:09.200 --> 0:15:10.040 we'll be working on it. 0:15:10.080 --> 0:15:12.600 You know, we want something good for the Cuban people 0:15:12.920 --> 0:15:14.760 and hopefully they'll be a good outcome there for them. 0:15:14.760 --> 0:15:17.080 There needs to be. It's ninety miles from our shores. 0:15:17.200 --> 0:15:21.520 And having a failed state ninety miles from our shores 0:15:21.600 --> 0:15:23.320 is a threat to the national security. 0:15:22.960 --> 0:15:23.760 Of the United States. 0:15:25.120 --> 0:15:27.680 Quick break right back more on the other side. The 0:15:27.680 --> 0:15:30.840 President and his cabinet. Straight ahead as we continue, So 0:15:31.280 --> 0:15:34.880 after the President, it began and held this cabinet meeting, 0:15:34.880 --> 0:15:37.600 which I love is so transparent and public and on TV. 0:15:38.280 --> 0:15:42.160 Then the President took questions from the mob legacy media mob. 0:15:42.400 --> 0:15:43.680 Let's go to some of that Q and A. 0:15:44.320 --> 0:15:46.560 Any questions. 0:15:46.960 --> 0:15:49.520 Ron wants control of the straight or removes would you 0:15:49.640 --> 0:15:50.640 accept a short. 0:15:50.480 --> 0:15:53.040 Term deal that allows Iran and Oman to control the 0:15:53.080 --> 0:15:55.360 Strait and would they have to open it immediately? 0:15:55.440 --> 0:15:57.120 Or would you be open to that happening over a 0:15:57.160 --> 0:15:57.800 period of time. 0:15:58.120 --> 0:16:02.600 The street's going to be open to everybody. It's international waters. 0:16:03.040 --> 0:16:05.280 Nobody's going to control and with it and watch over it, 0:16:05.320 --> 0:16:07.440 will watch over it, but nobody's going to control it. 0:16:07.480 --> 0:16:09.920 That's part of the negotiation that we have. 0:16:09.960 --> 0:16:12.160 They would like to control. Nobody's going to control. 0:16:12.240 --> 0:16:16.280 It's international waters, and oman will behave just like everybody 0:16:16.360 --> 0:16:18.120 else that will have to blow them up. 0:16:18.560 --> 0:16:21.720 They understand that they'll be fine. How much as a president, 0:16:21.800 --> 0:16:22.000 thank you? 0:16:22.040 --> 0:16:24.280 How much economic pressure do you feel to get the 0:16:24.320 --> 0:16:25.360 straight or forms open? 0:16:26.640 --> 0:16:27.280 Well? After? 0:16:27.600 --> 0:16:30.200 The United States has so much oil that we are 0:16:30.760 --> 0:16:33.440 an export of oil, so we have plenty of We're 0:16:34.000 --> 0:16:37.800 very lucky. We're blessed with the greatest piece of land 0:16:37.800 --> 0:16:40.120 in the world from that standpoint, and we have more 0:16:40.120 --> 0:16:43.040 than anybody else. And now when you add Venezuela to it, 0:16:43.400 --> 0:16:45.720 we have I think sixty four percent of the world's oil. 0:16:46.680 --> 0:16:49.720 And we're getting along very well with Venezuela. By the way, 0:16:49.760 --> 0:16:52.760 it's being run really beautifully. The big companies are moving in, 0:16:52.840 --> 0:16:55.280 they are going to be it's gonna be amazing because 0:16:55.280 --> 0:16:57.800 it's also like us, they're very they're very blessed in 0:16:57.800 --> 0:17:01.280 that sense. But we have noctual energy that no other 0:17:01.360 --> 0:17:05.240 country has. We have more than anybody else. So it's 0:17:05.280 --> 0:17:08.200 really a world problem because most of the world doesn't 0:17:08.240 --> 0:17:11.200 have that, and we're making it available during the closing. 0:17:11.240 --> 0:17:15.600 I don't know if you've seen some of the satellite pictures. Boats, 0:17:15.800 --> 0:17:18.440 hundreds of boats lined up. It looks like I used 0:17:18.440 --> 0:17:21.679 to say, the Long Island express As. They're lined up 0:17:21.720 --> 0:17:25.520 and they're coming to Texas, Louisiana. They're coming to Alaska 0:17:25.680 --> 0:17:27.000 to fill up their boat. 0:17:27.280 --> 0:17:27.920 The big boat. 0:17:28.000 --> 0:17:30.360 Some of them are really big, you know, two million gallons, 0:17:31.040 --> 0:17:32.920 even bigger than that. Now they make them, they make 0:17:32.960 --> 0:17:35.040 them up to four. Chris, I hear. Now they make 0:17:35.040 --> 0:17:37.000 them up to four. The four are now. 0:17:36.920 --> 0:17:38.359 The big ones. Used to be the ones. 0:17:38.440 --> 0:17:42.440 Now it's four million barrels of Think of that, four 0:17:42.520 --> 0:17:45.480 million barrels of oil and one boat. But they're lined up, 0:17:45.520 --> 0:17:49.199 and they're right now heading to Texas, and they've already 0:17:49.200 --> 0:17:50.960 filled up and they've gone back to the American In 0:17:51.000 --> 0:17:53.359 addition to that, you have a lot of boats, about 0:17:53.359 --> 0:17:56.439 fourteen to fifteen hundred boats in the Strait wanting to 0:17:56.440 --> 0:17:58.520 get out and at the right time, we'll release them. 0:17:58.720 --> 0:18:01.040 But the American peoples are seeing higher gas prices. 0:18:01.080 --> 0:18:01.880 Yeah, now it's come down. 0:18:01.760 --> 0:18:03.720 A little bit, but it's still four dollars and forty 0:18:03.720 --> 0:18:04.160 five cents. 0:18:04.280 --> 0:18:06.600 It will come down a lot. It'll come down to 0:18:06.640 --> 0:18:08.800 where it was before we had it. When I was 0:18:08.800 --> 0:18:12.760 in Iowa, we had driving by and we saw gas 0:18:12.760 --> 0:18:16.119 stations one dollar and ninety cents a gallon one dollar 0:18:16.119 --> 0:18:18.280 and eighty five cents one dollar in eighty seven with 0:18:18.440 --> 0:18:19.760 a three that we saw. 0:18:20.000 --> 0:18:22.040 We had it down in some places below. 0:18:22.400 --> 0:18:24.600 And we can't help a California where they charge so 0:18:24.720 --> 0:18:26.399 much tax that you know, you lower it and they 0:18:26.480 --> 0:18:29.800 charge sacks. They've got to straighten the act out in California. 0:18:29.840 --> 0:18:32.200 But we had we had gasoling down to a very 0:18:32.200 --> 0:18:36.639 low number. I think we'll be hitting that number shortly 0:18:36.720 --> 0:18:39.080 after that whole excursion ends. 0:18:39.280 --> 0:18:40.280
