1 00:00:02,720 --> 00:00:06,400 Speaker 1: So it's an honor to be with you, and we'll 2 00:00:06,440 --> 00:00:09,319 Speaker 1: discuss a couple of points. We'll take some questions later 3 00:00:09,360 --> 00:00:11,239 Speaker 1: if you'd like. I'm sure you might have one or two. 4 00:00:12,240 --> 00:00:14,960 Speaker 1: I'd be shocked if you didn't, I'd be very impressed. 5 00:00:15,840 --> 00:00:18,880 Speaker 1: But I'm honored to welcome one of the most accomplished 6 00:00:18,920 --> 00:00:21,800 Speaker 1: business leaders of our time, the founder and CEO of 7 00:00:21,840 --> 00:00:27,080 Speaker 1: soft Bank. Everybody knows Masa Yoshi San. Masa runs one 8 00:00:27,120 --> 00:00:30,880 Speaker 1: of the largest companies in Japan and among the most 9 00:00:30,920 --> 00:00:34,599 Speaker 1: successful investment and technology companies anywhere in the world, one 10 00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:38,360 Speaker 1: of the most successful investors in the world. And we've 11 00:00:38,400 --> 00:00:42,400 Speaker 1: just concluded a very productive meeting, and today I'm thrilled 12 00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:46,879 Speaker 1: to announce that soft Bank will be investing one hundred 13 00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:51,760 Speaker 1: billion dollars in America, creating one hundred thousand American jobs 14 00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:55,400 Speaker 1: at a minimum. And he's doing this because he feels 15 00:00:55,520 --> 00:01:00,440 Speaker 1: very optimistic about our country since the election. The people 16 00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:03,640 Speaker 1: are also coming in with tremendous amounts of money. You 17 00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:11,160 Speaker 1: probably notice that the poll was just taken its businesses. Literally, 18 00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:13,600 Speaker 1: in thirty nine years, there's been nothing like it. It's 19 00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:17,080 Speaker 1: been the biggest increased small business owners gave it a 20 00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:20,800 Speaker 1: forty one percent jump. It's the biggest jump that we've 21 00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:24,919 Speaker 1: had in thirty nine years, and nobody's ever seen anything 22 00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:29,520 Speaker 1: like it, and it's just they're very optimistic. This historic 23 00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:34,480 Speaker 1: investment is a monumental demonstration and confidence in America's future, 24 00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:39,520 Speaker 1: and it will help ensure that artificial intelligence, emerging technologies, 25 00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:43,319 Speaker 1: and other industries of tomorrow are built, created and grown 26 00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:45,400 Speaker 1: right here in the USA. One of the beautiful things 27 00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:50,800 Speaker 1: about Massa, he's very much involved with emerging technology. Probably 28 00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:53,240 Speaker 1: knows that maybe better than almost anybody. 29 00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:54,840 Speaker 2: So it's a great honor. 30 00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:58,880 Speaker 1: And some of you remember after the twenty sixteen election, 31 00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:02,640 Speaker 1: also Soft Bank committed to invest fifty billion dollars in 32 00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:05,400 Speaker 1: our country, and they did at a very place to 33 00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:08,799 Speaker 1: say that they kept that promise in every way, shape 34 00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:12,600 Speaker 1: and form. And now they're looking to do one hundred 35 00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:14,880 Speaker 1: and I've looked at their books. They do have the 36 00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:16,960 Speaker 1: possibility of doing more. I'm going to ask him to 37 00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:19,000 Speaker 1: do a little bit more, But first I'm going to 38 00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:20,680 Speaker 1: ask him to speak and. 39 00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:22,160 Speaker 2: Just to say a few words. 40 00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:25,040 Speaker 1: Master. Please, thank you, thank you, please, thank you, thank 41 00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:27,200 Speaker 1: you very appreciate it, thank. 42 00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:31,480 Speaker 2: You, Helen, thank you so much. 43 00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:33,519 Speaker 1: I'm very very excited. 44 00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:38,560 Speaker 3: I would really like to celebrate the great victory of 45 00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:47,200 Speaker 3: President Trump, and my confidence level to the economy of 46 00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:52,760 Speaker 3: the United States has tremendously increased with his victory. So 47 00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:59,440 Speaker 3: because of that, I'm now excited to commit this one 48 00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:02,840 Speaker 3: hundred bit dollars and one hundred thousand jobs into the 49 00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:09,000 Speaker 3: United States. This is double of last time, as President 50 00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:14,040 Speaker 3: Trump said, because I say, oh, President Trump is a 51 00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:14,959 Speaker 3: double down. 52 00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:16,839 Speaker 2: President, I'm going to have to double. 53 00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:19,639 Speaker 3: Down, you know, one hundred billion dollars and one hundred 54 00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:24,800 Speaker 3: thousand jobs. This is you know, my confidence level because 55 00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:30,840 Speaker 3: that has doubled down. So I am truly excited to 56 00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:36,560 Speaker 3: make this happen. And of course business is important, technology 57 00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:41,320 Speaker 3: is important. But one more thing I'm really hoping is 58 00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:49,080 Speaker 3: that this President Trump would make the world, bring the 59 00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:57,440 Speaker 3: world into peace again. That's my additional hope, and I 60 00:03:57,480 --> 00:03:59,960 Speaker 3: think he will actually make it happen. 61 00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:05,480 Speaker 1: So anyway, I'm excited to go. 62 00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:10,760 Speaker 3: And we were discussing and President Drum said, MASA, you know, 63 00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:14,680 Speaker 3: double that is noted out. Maybe you know, go for more. 64 00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:17,960 Speaker 1: Right, That's what I'm going to ask him right now, 65 00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:21,680 Speaker 1: would you make it two hundred billion dollars And said 66 00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:25,440 Speaker 1: he can believe it or not, he can actually afford 67 00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:30,880 Speaker 1: to do that. Would you do that? Wow? My promise 68 00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:35,239 Speaker 1: is hundred. But you know he's now asking to do more. 69 00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:40,839 Speaker 3: I think you know with you have leadership, my partnership, 70 00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:44,600 Speaker 3: with you, with your support, I will I will try to. 71 00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:45,119 Speaker 1: Make it happen. 72 00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:48,400 Speaker 4: Okay, that's good, all right, two hundred He'll make it 73 00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:57,160 Speaker 4: happen two hundred millions. He is a great say, he's 74 00:04:57,200 --> 00:05:00,200 Speaker 4: a brilliant guy and did an unbelievable job. And the 75 00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:02,800 Speaker 4: people of Japan and all over the world, they're very 76 00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:03,400 Speaker 4: proud of him. 77 00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:06,760 Speaker 1: They have tremendous respect for him. So when he does 78 00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:10,080 Speaker 1: what he just did, and and I would be surprised 79 00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:12,039 Speaker 1: if it if it what didn't go to do. When 80 00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:15,159 Speaker 1: you say you'll try, I know you'll do it. I 81 00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:16,200 Speaker 1: will really try. 82 00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:19,880 Speaker 2: And I need you a SUPPORTO. You'll have my support. 83 00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:25,160 Speaker 1: I have our country support. All fantastic, fantastic, thank you. 84 00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:27,800 Speaker 1: Thank you to the people of Japan who are all 85 00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:29,200 Speaker 1: watching well. 86 00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:36,240 Speaker 3: I'm sure our people in Japan proud to make the 87 00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:41,920 Speaker 3: partnership of US and Japan be stronger. And I'm I'm 88 00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:44,680 Speaker 3: very excited to make this happen. Thank you very much. 89 00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:48,800 Speaker 3: Thank you, thank you, thank you, please, thank you. 90 00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:56,400 Speaker 1: Great job, thank you. It's amazing. It's a great gentleman, 91 00:05:56,440 --> 00:05:59,799 Speaker 1: a great uh, a great leader, and a great investor. 92 00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:03,559 Speaker 1: So to have that offerment. And we have so many 93 00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:06,440 Speaker 1: companies coming in now that will be announcing, or they 94 00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:08,480 Speaker 1: will announce themselves. We don't have to be with them 95 00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:11,760 Speaker 1: to do it, but they'll be announcing. And as I said, 96 00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:15,039 Speaker 1: small business optimism took a forty. 97 00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:16,880 Speaker 2: One point jump forty one points. 98 00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:19,880 Speaker 1: It went up forty one points. That's unheard of, and 99 00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:23,280 Speaker 1: that's the biggest they think in recorded history. But they 100 00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:25,479 Speaker 1: know at least a minimum of thirty nine years. So 101 00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:28,560 Speaker 1: that's great. But on behalf of the American people, I 102 00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:31,960 Speaker 1: want to thank Massa for his faith and what's happening 103 00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:33,839 Speaker 1: with our country and what's happening with the world. There's 104 00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:37,400 Speaker 1: a whole light over the entire world. Many people, some reporters, 105 00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:39,200 Speaker 1: and speaking to them, they said, you know, it actually 106 00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:42,919 Speaker 1: is true. A couple of them are not necessarily friends 107 00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:45,240 Speaker 1: of mine, but they said, it is actually true that 108 00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:48,640 Speaker 1: there's a light shining over the world. We're trying to 109 00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:52,200 Speaker 1: help very strongly in getting the hostages back. As you know, 110 00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:56,080 Speaker 1: with Israel and the Middle East, we're working very much 111 00:06:56,400 --> 00:06:58,360 Speaker 1: on that. We're trying to get the war, stop that 112 00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:04,120 Speaker 1: horrible ruble war that's going on in Ukraine with Russia. Ukraine, 113 00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:07,640 Speaker 1: we're going to We've got a little progress. It's a 114 00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:11,160 Speaker 1: tough one. It's a nasty one. It's nasty. People are 115 00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:14,600 Speaker 1: being killed at levels that nobody's ever seen. You know. 116 00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:17,520 Speaker 1: It's very level fields and the only thing that stops 117 00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:21,520 Speaker 1: a bullet is a body, a human body, and the 118 00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:24,080 Speaker 1: number of soldiers that are being killed on both sides 119 00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:27,600 Speaker 1: is astronomical. I've never seen anything like it, and rapidly 120 00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:31,080 Speaker 1: I get reports every week and it's not even you know, 121 00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:35,240 Speaker 1: it's like just going down. Nobody's seen anything like it. 122 00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:37,560 Speaker 1: It's a very flat surface, a very flat land. That's 123 00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:42,559 Speaker 1: why it's great farming land. Let's see, it's the bread 124 00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:46,120 Speaker 1: basket for the world actually, but it's very flat and 125 00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:49,000 Speaker 1: there's nothing to stop a bullet but a body. There's 126 00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:52,400 Speaker 1: no protection, no nothing, and it's what's happening there is 127 00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:56,840 Speaker 1: far worse than people are reporting for both sides. So 128 00:07:56,960 --> 00:07:59,160 Speaker 1: we're going to do our best. That we've been doing 129 00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:02,760 Speaker 1: our best. Well what happens, but since the election, I've 130 00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:05,960 Speaker 1: been working every day to put the world at ease 131 00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:07,560 Speaker 1: a little bit, to get rid of the wars. We 132 00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:10,520 Speaker 1: had no wars when I left office, and now it's 133 00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:14,360 Speaker 1: the whole world is blowing up. But there's great optimism, 134 00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:18,400 Speaker 1: and you saw that by SoftBank. Starting on day one, 135 00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:22,440 Speaker 1: we'll implement the rapidsers, the bold reforms to restore our 136 00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:26,360 Speaker 1: nation to full prosperity. We're going to go full prosperity 137 00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:30,120 Speaker 1: and to build the greatest economy the world has ever seen, 138 00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:33,760 Speaker 1: just as we had just a short time ago. We 139 00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:36,160 Speaker 1: had it in my turn. We had the greatest economy 140 00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:39,680 Speaker 1: that the world had seen. We were blowing away everybody. 141 00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:44,000 Speaker 1: Our country was doubling up on China, doubling up on everybody, 142 00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:47,280 Speaker 1: and everybody knows it. And then we had to slow 143 00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:50,120 Speaker 1: it down with COVID, unfortunately at the end. But even 144 00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:53,880 Speaker 1: then I gave it back with a substantial increase of 145 00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:55,680 Speaker 1: the sock market, bigger than it. 146 00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:57,600 Speaker 2: Was pre COVID, So it was pretty amazing. 147 00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:01,720 Speaker 1: Already, preparations are under way to slash massive numbers of 148 00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:07,640 Speaker 1: job killing regulationsing eliminating ten old regulations for every new one. 149 00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:09,559 Speaker 1: You put a new regulation on. You have to get 150 00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:11,960 Speaker 1: rid of ten and we'll be able to do it. 151 00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:14,760 Speaker 1: And that was about the percentage we had. We cut 152 00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:19,120 Speaker 1: more regulations than any president has ever cut by far, 153 00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:25,000 Speaker 1: actually by approximately five times. Some of those regulations, unfortunately, 154 00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:28,960 Speaker 1: were put back on. But we'll catch up very quickly. 155 00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:31,760 Speaker 1: We'll catch up with it. One of the things I'd 156 00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:34,960 Speaker 1: like to ask the Biden administration, as you probably heard, 157 00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:38,840 Speaker 1: there are two events that took place. We're talking about 158 00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:44,920 Speaker 1: a friendly takeover, a friendly transition, as they like to say, 159 00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:47,760 Speaker 1: this is a friendly transition, and it is, but there 160 00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:49,679 Speaker 1: are two events that took place that I think are 161 00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:52,480 Speaker 1: very terrible. One is that if people don't come back 162 00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:53,760 Speaker 1: to work, come back into. 163 00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:55,079 Speaker 2: The office, they're going to be dismissed. 164 00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:58,720 Speaker 1: And somebody in the Biden administration gave a five year 165 00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:01,880 Speaker 1: waiver of that so that for five years people don't 166 00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:04,760 Speaker 1: have to come back into the office. It involved forty 167 00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:08,080 Speaker 1: nine thousand people for five years, they don't have to go. 168 00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:12,240 Speaker 1: They just signed this thing. It's ridiculous. So it was 169 00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:15,120 Speaker 1: like a gift to a union, and we're going to 170 00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:17,280 Speaker 1: obviously be in court to stop. But the other thing 171 00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:21,760 Speaker 1: is really terrible. We spent a tremendous amount of money 172 00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:24,760 Speaker 1: in building the wall. The wall was designed specifically by 173 00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:28,800 Speaker 1: the Border Patrol because it's very hard to climb. They 174 00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:31,600 Speaker 1: need to have see through They needed to be stealed 175 00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:33,959 Speaker 1: because you can't cut this. It's very powerful steal It's 176 00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:37,720 Speaker 1: very hard steel. It's a special type of steel, but 177 00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:41,240 Speaker 1: very very hard to cut. Inside the seal, as you know, 178 00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:45,320 Speaker 1: we pour concrete and that's a Grade ten concrete, which 179 00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:49,080 Speaker 1: is a very strong concrete, very as though you were 180 00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:52,680 Speaker 1: building about a sixty story building. It's very powerful concrete. 181 00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:58,240 Speaker 1: They've made tremendous technology advances in the word concrete. Who 182 00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:00,240 Speaker 1: would think that, but I know that from the construyduction 183 00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:03,800 Speaker 1: industry today. What you can do with concrete is incredible. 184 00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:06,080 Speaker 1: So we have a very strong concrete and then we 185 00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:10,959 Speaker 1: have a rebar. We put rebar inside the concrete and 186 00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:13,160 Speaker 1: the rebar, likewise, is very hard to cut. So it's 187 00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:17,200 Speaker 1: a very expensive process, very expensive wall. And then we 188 00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:20,520 Speaker 1: put a anti climb plate on the top. You saw 189 00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:22,400 Speaker 1: that and I didn't like the look of it, But 190 00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:24,920 Speaker 1: then when I watched we had people testing, We had 191 00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:28,040 Speaker 1: mountain climbers actually testing, and they were not able to 192 00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:30,320 Speaker 1: get over the anti climb plate. So I said, all right, 193 00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:32,920 Speaker 1: I guess we're going to put it on that plate 194 00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:36,000 Speaker 1: on top, which I never loved the look of it, 195 00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:39,679 Speaker 1: but it works so unbelievably while you have to do it. 196 00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:42,280 Speaker 1: So we spent a lot of money in building it, 197 00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:44,560 Speaker 1: and we have hundreds of miles that we put up. 198 00:11:44,559 --> 00:11:46,280 Speaker 1: A lot of people don't realize, but we did five 199 00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:48,920 Speaker 1: hundred and seventy one miles of wall. That's why we 200 00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:51,640 Speaker 1: had such good records, in addition to the fact that 201 00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:55,640 Speaker 1: Mexico helped us with their military. They kept people out 202 00:11:56,360 --> 00:11:59,080 Speaker 1: and they were actually very good under the best leader. 203 00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:05,000 Speaker 1: Now we ordered an additional two hundred miles of wall. 204 00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:08,800 Speaker 1: It's very expensive, and now it's about double the price 205 00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:11,719 Speaker 1: of what it would have been six years ago, and 206 00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:15,640 Speaker 1: the administration is trying to sell it for five cents 207 00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:18,319 Speaker 1: on the dollar, knowing that we're getting ready to put 208 00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:21,920 Speaker 1: it up, and what they're doing is really an act. 209 00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:25,520 Speaker 1: It's almost it's almost a criminal act. They know we're 210 00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:28,440 Speaker 1: going to use it, and if we don't have it, 211 00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:31,240 Speaker 1: we're going to have to rebuild it, and it'll cost 212 00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:34,120 Speaker 1: double what it costs years ago, and that's hundreds of 213 00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:39,199 Speaker 1: millions of dollars, because you're talking about a lot of wall. 214 00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:41,080 Speaker 1: I built much more than I said I was going 215 00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:44,160 Speaker 1: to build. But then after it was built, I said, 216 00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:47,160 Speaker 1: you know, we can do some more because it's sort 217 00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:50,559 Speaker 1: of like water people flow through and that will pretty 218 00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:53,040 Speaker 1: much really take care of it. And what happened is 219 00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:55,680 Speaker 1: they just as you see, they're trying to sell it 220 00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:59,880 Speaker 1: for five cents of the dollar. And that's really that 221 00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:03,520 Speaker 1: has nothing to do with a smooth transition. That has 222 00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:07,240 Speaker 1: to do with people really trying to stop our nation. 223 00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:08,760 Speaker 2: And all it. 224 00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:11,520 Speaker 1: Means really is that we're going to spend hundreds of 225 00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:15,600 Speaker 1: millions of dollars more, not even talking about the time. 226 00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:19,800 Speaker 1: Time would be pretty long, but we'll spend hundreds of 227 00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:23,880 Speaker 1: millions of dollars more on building the same wall that 228 00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:27,640 Speaker 1: we already have. And people have already come back to 229 00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:31,480 Speaker 1: us that have deals at five cents and four cents, 230 00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:35,000 Speaker 1: and one guy at three cents on the dollar, and 231 00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:37,640 Speaker 1: they offered to sell it back to us at more 232 00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:41,480 Speaker 1: money than it costs us to build substantially, can you 233 00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:43,760 Speaker 1: believe it? So they make a deal with the United 234 00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:46,440 Speaker 1: States to buy it for pennies and then they call 235 00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:48,480 Speaker 1: us and they say, do you want to buy it back? 236 00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:52,800 Speaker 1: We'll sell it back to you for hundreds of dollars 237 00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:56,080 Speaker 1: a foot, hundreds of dollars from pennies to hundreds of 238 00:13:56,120 --> 00:13:59,800 Speaker 1: dollars a foot, and we can't let this take plus 239 00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:01,960 Speaker 1: now we're going to go. I spoke with the Attorney 240 00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:05,480 Speaker 1: General of Texas. I spoke to the Senators of Texas. 241 00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:08,280 Speaker 1: I spoke to a lot of people, and hopefully they'll 242 00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:10,240 Speaker 1: be able to stop. We're going to be having a 243 00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:13,560 Speaker 1: restraining order. But just think about how ridiculous it is. 244 00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:16,480 Speaker 1: And this is just people that don't want this country 245 00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:19,120 Speaker 1: to succeed. And this has nothing to do with Democrat 246 00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:23,360 Speaker 1: or Republican. This has to do with common sense. We 247 00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:26,480 Speaker 1: won on common sense, and this is maybe one of 248 00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:30,480 Speaker 1: the most egregious examples I've seen. So the people that 249 00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:32,280 Speaker 1: are buying it, are trying to buy it, are trying 250 00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:33,920 Speaker 1: to make a deal with us to sell it back 251 00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:38,800 Speaker 1: at hundreds of times more, hundreds of times more than 252 00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:44,000 Speaker 1: we paid. And this is all because the debre So 253 00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:48,040 Speaker 1: I'm asking today Joe Biden to please stop selling the world. 254 00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:51,920 Speaker 1: We're going to use that to create a strong barrier. 255 00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:56,000 Speaker 1: And it worked. That's why our numbers was so good. 256 00:14:56,160 --> 00:14:59,200 Speaker 1: It really worked, and it worked well, and it's very 257 00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:02,200 Speaker 1: expensive to and I'm asking Joe Biden to stop his 258 00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:08,800 Speaker 1: people from giving it away. It's something that people can't 259 00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:12,680 Speaker 1: even believe is happening. So hopefully Joe will be able 260 00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:16,520 Speaker 1: to stop it. We'll soon un leash American energy and 261 00:15:16,760 --> 00:15:19,200 Speaker 1: this will be done at levels not seen before, issuing 262 00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:24,120 Speaker 1: quick approvals for pipelines, drilling another infrastructure. It'll be clean energy, 263 00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:27,360 Speaker 1: and we'll bring in the price of electricity and we're 264 00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:29,120 Speaker 1: going to bring it down fast. We're also going to 265 00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:35,160 Speaker 1: create clean coal. Clean coal is something that has really 266 00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:38,200 Speaker 1: taken over. We have coal that will last for over 267 00:15:38,240 --> 00:15:41,520 Speaker 1: a thousand years. We have so much coal, and with 268 00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:44,720 Speaker 1: a process, it becomes clean call. It's very powerful energy. 269 00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:45,720 Speaker 1: Unlike wind. 270 00:15:46,520 --> 00:15:47,520 Speaker 2: It's very very. 271 00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:49,360 Speaker 1: Powerful, and we're going to be doing a lot of 272 00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:54,440 Speaker 1: clean coal for the people of West Virginia and others, Wyoming, 273 00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:58,200 Speaker 1: so many states. We have great states, and they'll be 274 00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:00,560 Speaker 1: happy to hear it. But we're going to be very 275 00:16:00,640 --> 00:16:03,640 Speaker 1: much into clean call. I don't ever use the word call. 276 00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:06,440 Speaker 1: I use the word clean call. And I'll keep my 277 00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:10,400 Speaker 1: promise to pass historic tax cuts for American families, workers 278 00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:14,320 Speaker 1: and businesses that create jobs in America. As you know, 279 00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:17,160 Speaker 1: we're giving tax cuts if they do it. Here. We 280 00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:20,400 Speaker 1: brought it down from forty four percent forty two percent. 281 00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:22,920 Speaker 2: In some cases it was thirty nine. 282 00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:26,000 Speaker 1: We brought it all the way down to twenty one percent, 283 00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:29,200 Speaker 1: and now we're bringing it down to fifteen but only 284 00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:31,840 Speaker 1: if they make their product, their car or whatever they're 285 00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:35,080 Speaker 1: doing in the United States in the US and people 286 00:16:35,120 --> 00:16:37,960 Speaker 1: are thrilled. I've had the smartest people on Walshe called me. 287 00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:40,440 Speaker 1: They said, where'd you get that idea? And it doesn't 288 00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:43,600 Speaker 1: seem that complicated, right, but it's nobody else. It's like 289 00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:46,600 Speaker 1: the paper clip. Nobody ever thought of it. One guy 290 00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:49,600 Speaker 1: thought of it. Everybody looked at it and they said, Wow, 291 00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:52,080 Speaker 1: that was a good idea. Why didn't I think of it? 292 00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:55,200 Speaker 1: But we're bringing it down six more points and that 293 00:16:55,280 --> 00:16:55,920 Speaker 1: will put. 294 00:16:55,760 --> 00:16:56,720 Speaker 2: Us really at the. 295 00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:02,760 Speaker 1: Best lef level we've ever had for bringing in business. 296 00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:05,679 Speaker 1: We've never been down to. That level, will be among 297 00:17:05,800 --> 00:17:09,199 Speaker 1: the lowest tax states, and a lot of businesses are 298 00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:11,960 Speaker 1: going to come in Between that and our taxing and 299 00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:14,720 Speaker 1: tariff policies, We're going to have business like nobody's ever 300 00:17:14,760 --> 00:17:18,040 Speaker 1: seen in this country before. That's why we're having a 301 00:17:18,080 --> 00:17:21,640 Speaker 1: forty one year record in optimism from small businesses and 302 00:17:21,680 --> 00:17:25,520 Speaker 1: big businesses. And I'll keep my promise to pass historic 303 00:17:25,600 --> 00:17:29,399 Speaker 1: tax cuts for families, workers, and businesses that create jobs 304 00:17:29,400 --> 00:17:33,160 Speaker 1: in America. Any business that invest one billion dollars more 305 00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:37,000 Speaker 1: in the United States will be eligible for fully expedited 306 00:17:37,040 --> 00:17:41,600 Speaker 1: permits and approvals, including environmental approvals, from the federal government. 307 00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:44,679 Speaker 1: So when companies come in, if they're going to invest 308 00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:46,800 Speaker 1: a billion dollars and more, there'll be many of them, 309 00:17:47,359 --> 00:17:49,399 Speaker 1: and they'll go into Detroit, and they're going to a 310 00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:52,480 Speaker 1: lot of places where we want them. You saw how 311 00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:55,280 Speaker 1: well I did with the Order Workers. We did unbelievably well. 312 00:17:55,320 --> 00:17:57,800 Speaker 1: You saw how well we did with the Teamsters, and 313 00:17:57,800 --> 00:18:02,080 Speaker 1: and also the non union where a record ninety eight percent, 314 00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:05,879 Speaker 1: ninety seven percent. Nobody's ever got numbers like that. Because 315 00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:09,040 Speaker 1: we're bringing business back, and they're all coming back. We 316 00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:12,840 Speaker 1: lost them over years of stupidity. I call it the 317 00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:17,040 Speaker 1: years of stupidity, the decades of stupidity. Through the Department 318 00:18:17,080 --> 00:18:21,160 Speaker 1: of Government Deficiency, Elon Musk has been working very hard 319 00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:27,240 Speaker 1: with various people, including Vivek will go to eliminate hundreds 320 00:18:27,320 --> 00:18:29,680 Speaker 1: of billions of dollars of wasted fraud. And I can 321 00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:31,760 Speaker 1: only tell you, I'll give you a little early report. 322 00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:35,000 Speaker 1: They're finding things that you wouldn't even believe. So we're 323 00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:38,840 Speaker 1: looking to say maybe two trillion dollars and it'll have 324 00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:41,439 Speaker 1: no impact. Actually it'll make life better, but it'll have 325 00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:42,560 Speaker 1: no impact on people. 326 00:18:42,600 --> 00:18:44,080 Speaker 2: It's not like we're we. 327 00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:46,480 Speaker 1: Will never cut social security things like that. 328 00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:48,720 Speaker 2: It's just waste, fraud and abuse. 329 00:18:49,560 --> 00:18:53,320 Speaker 1: And we'll immediately restore the sovereign borders of the United 330 00:18:53,320 --> 00:18:56,800 Speaker 1: States and stop illegal immigration, which is costing US I 331 00:18:56,880 --> 00:19:00,359 Speaker 1: believe trillions of dollars a year. I think it's that 332 00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:03,920 Speaker 1: nobody's ever seen anything like it. I don't know how 333 00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:09,080 Speaker 1: can you be satisfied releasing prisoners into the Uniteds. To 334 00:19:09,119 --> 00:19:12,760 Speaker 1: think of this, you're releasing prisoners from jails all over 335 00:19:12,800 --> 00:19:15,719 Speaker 1: the world, not just in South America, from the Congo. 336 00:19:15,800 --> 00:19:17,480 Speaker 1: I would talk about it all the time. They're a 337 00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:21,520 Speaker 1: very big sender of people, but from all over the world. 338 00:19:21,560 --> 00:19:24,640 Speaker 1: They're sending prisoners out of their jails. Some of their 339 00:19:24,720 --> 00:19:27,280 Speaker 1: jails are empty, and they will be empty soon if 340 00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:30,880 Speaker 1: this ever continued. I spoke with the president of Mexico, 341 00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:34,000 Speaker 1: and as you know, I spoke with Justin Trudeau of 342 00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:39,440 Speaker 1: Canada and we told them it's not fair, not right. 343 00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:42,520 Speaker 1: Can't let these people come into our country. And they understand, 344 00:19:42,560 --> 00:19:46,119 Speaker 1: they're very much unnotice and they're going to have to 345 00:19:46,160 --> 00:19:49,439 Speaker 1: stop this from happening. They're going to have to stop it. 346 00:19:49,560 --> 00:19:51,600 Speaker 1: We lose a lot of money to Mexico, We lose 347 00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:54,880 Speaker 1: a lot of money to Canada, tremendous money. We're subsidizing 348 00:19:54,960 --> 00:19:58,480 Speaker 1: Canada with subsidizing Mexico. That can't go wrong. Then I 349 00:19:58,520 --> 00:20:01,080 Speaker 1: get along with the people of Mexico in Canada very well, 350 00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:06,040 Speaker 1: but we can't let that happen. Why are we supporting 351 00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:11,880 Speaker 1: and giving other countries hundreds of billions of dollars. It's 352 00:20:11,920 --> 00:20:14,320 Speaker 1: not fair, it's not right, and the people of Mexico 353 00:20:14,359 --> 00:20:17,760 Speaker 1: and Canada fully understand that. We've talked about it before, 354 00:20:17,800 --> 00:20:20,520 Speaker 1: but now we're doing something about it. We started and 355 00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:23,760 Speaker 1: then we had to fix the COVID situation, and that's 356 00:20:23,760 --> 00:20:26,600 Speaker 1: what we did. But now we're doing it. We're doing 357 00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:29,480 Speaker 1: it from the beginning. Howard will be largely in charge. 358 00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:32,480 Speaker 1: We'll be working on her together. Howard's terrific he's done 359 00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:35,040 Speaker 1: a fantastic job, and he's really helped us a lot 360 00:20:35,080 --> 00:20:35,760 Speaker 1: with transition. 361 00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:37,679 Speaker 2: I think we have fantastic people coming in. 362 00:20:38,440 --> 00:20:42,720 Speaker 1: So all of these policies will help us rapidly defeat inflation, 363 00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:46,199 Speaker 1: create millions of new jobs, and put money in the 364 00:20:46,359 --> 00:20:50,520 Speaker 1: pockets of the hard working families of our country. Payoff debt. 365 00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:53,160 Speaker 1: We're going to be paying off a tremendous amount of debt. 366 00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:56,879 Speaker 1: We're thirty six trillion dollars, you know, want to be there. 367 00:20:57,640 --> 00:21:00,399 Speaker 1: And we're going to be using a lot of the 368 00:21:00,400 --> 00:21:02,480 Speaker 1: money that we make. We're going to be opening up 369 00:21:02,520 --> 00:21:04,239 Speaker 1: a lot of businesses are going to be pouring in 370 00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:07,320 Speaker 1: because of our tax policy, and we're going to use 371 00:21:07,320 --> 00:21:09,960 Speaker 1: the money that we made to pay off debt and 372 00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:13,000 Speaker 1: to reduce taxes. We're going to further reduce taxes. If 373 00:21:13,040 --> 00:21:16,000 Speaker 1: you remember when we reduced them last time, that brought 374 00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:19,040 Speaker 1: a tremendous amount. We brought it down to twenty one percent, 375 00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:21,800 Speaker 1: and that was the biggest That was the biggest tax 376 00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:24,880 Speaker 1: cut in the history of our country. And nobody ever 377 00:21:24,920 --> 00:21:27,600 Speaker 1: thought this would happen, but this is what's supposed to happen. 378 00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:30,879 Speaker 1: We actually ended up taking in more revenue at twenty 379 00:21:30,880 --> 00:21:34,120 Speaker 1: one that we did at forty percent, which was pretty amazing. 380 00:21:34,560 --> 00:21:37,199 Speaker 1: But this will be the most exciting and successful period 381 00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:41,120 Speaker 1: of reform and renewal in all of American history, maybe 382 00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:45,160 Speaker 1: of global history. The Golden Age of America. I call it. 383 00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:48,280 Speaker 1: It's begun. So it's the Golden Age of America. And 384 00:21:48,320 --> 00:21:50,639 Speaker 1: that's what it's going to be. And we hope we 385 00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:54,680 Speaker 1: don't have any intervening problems because things happen, like out 386 00:21:54,720 --> 00:21:59,360 Speaker 1: of nowhere came the chinavirus, out of nowhere came other 387 00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:01,880 Speaker 1: things we don't want to have. You know, when I left, 388 00:22:01,920 --> 00:22:04,040 Speaker 1: we had no wars, we had no problems. The Middle 389 00:22:04,080 --> 00:22:07,640 Speaker 1: East was good. We did the Abraham accurts, We did 390 00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:12,040 Speaker 1: things that nobody thought were even possible. But think of it. 391 00:22:12,119 --> 00:22:15,280 Speaker 1: Four years ago, we had no wars. You didn't have 392 00:22:15,359 --> 00:22:17,879 Speaker 1: Russia going into Ukraine. They wouldn't have done it. They 393 00:22:17,880 --> 00:22:21,439 Speaker 1: weren't even thinking about it when they saw what happened 394 00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:22,240 Speaker 1: in Afghanistan. 395 00:22:22,280 --> 00:22:23,840 Speaker 2: I think they gave them an idea, but they wouldn't 396 00:22:23,840 --> 00:22:24,199 Speaker 2: have done it. 397 00:22:24,240 --> 00:22:26,960 Speaker 1: They would have never gone President Putin would have never 398 00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:29,520 Speaker 1: gone in. And now you look at all those people 399 00:22:29,520 --> 00:22:32,520 Speaker 1: are dead, all those cities are destroyed. You know, it's 400 00:22:32,640 --> 00:22:35,119 Speaker 1: nice to say they want their land back, but the 401 00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:42,040 Speaker 1: cities are largely destroyed. They've left Kiev because probably maybe 402 00:22:42,040 --> 00:22:44,080 Speaker 1: they want to use it or occupy it, but they 403 00:22:44,080 --> 00:22:47,560 Speaker 1: haven't done it. They've done a lot of damage, but 404 00:22:47,760 --> 00:22:51,680 Speaker 1: relatively compared to the other cities, very little. But many 405 00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:55,440 Speaker 1: of those cities are gone. Those beautiful towers, beautiful, those 406 00:22:55,480 --> 00:23:02,200 Speaker 1: beautiful buildings that they had are now laying on their sides, destroyed, 407 00:23:02,240 --> 00:23:07,480 Speaker 1: totally destroyed. The turrets and all of the magnificent thousand 408 00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:10,840 Speaker 1: year old two thousand year old structures that were very 409 00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:15,320 Speaker 1: strong are in are blown to smitherings. You look at 410 00:23:15,320 --> 00:23:18,080 Speaker 1: some of those cities and not one building standing. So 411 00:23:19,040 --> 00:23:22,280 Speaker 1: you know, when you say take over the country, take 412 00:23:22,320 --> 00:23:25,720 Speaker 1: over what, take over what? That's one hundred year rebuilt. 413 00:23:25,760 --> 00:23:27,720 Speaker 1: Take one hundred years to rebuild it, and you can 414 00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:28,879 Speaker 1: never have it the way it was. 415 00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:31,000 Speaker 2: What a shame. It should have never happened. 416 00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:32,960 Speaker 1: It would have never happened if I were president, that 417 00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:36,520 Speaker 1: war would have never happened, nor would Israel have happened 418 00:23:36,520 --> 00:23:41,560 Speaker 1: with the attack on Israel. So we're inheriting big challenges 419 00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:44,359 Speaker 1: at home and all over the world. Again. We had 420 00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:48,560 Speaker 1: no wars, we had no problems, we had no inflation. 421 00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:51,280 Speaker 1: We had no inflation. We had at less than one percent, 422 00:23:52,240 --> 00:23:56,160 Speaker 1: a perfect number. And then we had inflation the likes 423 00:23:56,160 --> 00:23:58,719 Speaker 1: of which I say, I don't believe the country's ever 424 00:23:58,760 --> 00:24:01,480 Speaker 1: seen inflation like that, say, thirty eight years, I don't know. 425 00:24:01,520 --> 00:24:04,880 Speaker 1: I think it's I think it's probably ever. But we're 426 00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:06,239 Speaker 1: going to take care of all of it. We're going 427 00:24:06,280 --> 00:24:09,240 Speaker 1: to get the prices down by energy. The energy is 428 00:24:09,280 --> 00:24:11,359 Speaker 1: going to come in. We have more energy than anybody else. 429 00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:13,080 Speaker 1: We're going to use it. We don't have to buy 430 00:24:13,200 --> 00:24:17,199 Speaker 1: energy from Venezuela when we have fifty times more than 431 00:24:17,240 --> 00:24:20,639 Speaker 1: they do. It's just insane what we're doing. So we 432 00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:24,240 Speaker 1: will not rest until America is richer, safer, and stronger 433 00:24:24,280 --> 00:24:27,199 Speaker 1: than it has ever been before. And we have a 434 00:24:27,240 --> 00:24:30,480 Speaker 1: big head start. Last time we didn't, and last time 435 00:24:31,040 --> 00:24:32,840 Speaker 1: we didn't know the people, we didn't know a lot 436 00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:35,000 Speaker 1: of things. But by the time we got it up 437 00:24:35,040 --> 00:24:37,719 Speaker 1: and going, it was incredible. Again. We built the greatest 438 00:24:37,760 --> 00:24:40,920 Speaker 1: economy in history for that period of time, and we'll 439 00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:44,760 Speaker 1: do it again, I believe substantially more so because we 440 00:24:44,840 --> 00:24:48,840 Speaker 1: understand Number one, the people of Washington, I know them. 441 00:24:49,119 --> 00:24:51,479 Speaker 1: I didn't know any of them. Virtually. I relied on 442 00:24:51,560 --> 00:24:54,560 Speaker 1: other people for recommendations. Some were very good recommendations. We 443 00:24:54,600 --> 00:24:57,720 Speaker 1: had some great people, Bob Leithheiser, I thought it was great. 444 00:24:57,840 --> 00:25:00,960 Speaker 1: We had a lot of great people, but we had 445 00:25:00,960 --> 00:25:03,199 Speaker 1: some people that I wouldn't have used in retrospect. And 446 00:25:03,240 --> 00:25:07,640 Speaker 1: now I know him better than anybody, better than they 447 00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:10,879 Speaker 1: know themselves. So once again, i'd like to thank Masa 448 00:25:11,040 --> 00:25:13,960 Speaker 1: for what he's done with that investment, which will end 449 00:25:14,040 --> 00:25:18,320 Speaker 1: up being two hundred billion dollars I believe, but I 450 00:25:18,800 --> 00:25:21,200 Speaker 1: just want to thank him. Just an outstanding man when 451 00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:23,479 Speaker 1: you have that kind of brain power wanting to invest 452 00:25:23,520 --> 00:25:26,159 Speaker 1: in this country, and that's money that he. 453 00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:27,280 Speaker 2: Can invest elsewhere. 454 00:25:27,359 --> 00:25:30,120 Speaker 1: So that's a big investment but makes me feel very good, 455 00:25:30,200 --> 00:25:32,600 Speaker 1: makes me feel that we're absolutely on the right track. 456 00:25:32,920 --> 00:25:35,680 Speaker 1: So thank you, Tomasa, And we'll take a couple of questions. Yeah, 457 00:25:35,680 --> 00:25:42,520 Speaker 1: but Jeff tell us what he said doing your call 458 00:25:42,560 --> 00:25:43,360 Speaker 1: on Saturday. 459 00:25:43,680 --> 00:25:45,280 Speaker 5: Have you spoken to President. 460 00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:48,160 Speaker 1: Well, I'm not going to comment on the putin question, 461 00:25:48,280 --> 00:25:52,960 Speaker 1: but I will comment on bb We had a very 462 00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:58,159 Speaker 1: good talk. We discussed what is going to happen, and 463 00:25:58,240 --> 00:26:04,600 Speaker 1: I'll be very available on January twentieth, and we'll see. 464 00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:08,639 Speaker 1: As you know, I gave warning that if these hostages 465 00:26:08,680 --> 00:26:10,680 Speaker 1: aren't back home by that date, all hell's going to 466 00:26:10,720 --> 00:26:15,280 Speaker 1: break out and very strong. But we generally just discussed you. 467 00:26:15,400 --> 00:26:20,800 Speaker 1: I asked him, where are things? Mike Waltz is They're 468 00:26:20,800 --> 00:26:23,160 Speaker 1: doing a great job. By the way, everybody is very happy. 469 00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:26,439 Speaker 1: I think he's doing a fantastic job. But he was 470 00:26:26,520 --> 00:26:28,320 Speaker 1: very much involved in the call. But it was a 471 00:26:28,359 --> 00:26:33,280 Speaker 1: recap call more than anything else, to stop the band 472 00:26:33,480 --> 00:26:34,440 Speaker 1: to TXT month. 473 00:26:34,720 --> 00:26:36,720 Speaker 6: Who how do you plan to stop the band. 474 00:26:36,520 --> 00:26:39,520 Speaker 1: On TikTok next month? I will take a look at TikTok. 475 00:26:40,200 --> 00:26:41,960 Speaker 1: You know, I have a warm spot in my heart 476 00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:44,880 Speaker 1: for TikTok because I won youth by thirty four points. 477 00:26:46,200 --> 00:26:49,960 Speaker 1: And there are those that say that TikTok has something 478 00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:53,919 Speaker 1: to do with it. Now Joe Rogan did, and some 479 00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:57,320 Speaker 1: of the other people that were recommended by my son Barone, 480 00:26:57,400 --> 00:26:59,440 Speaker 1: who have any knew names? I said, who is that? 481 00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:02,359 Speaker 1: Tell me who's that? Dad? You gotta be kidding. I 482 00:27:02,359 --> 00:27:05,480 Speaker 1: can't believe you don't know. And I did those interviews 483 00:27:06,040 --> 00:27:08,040 Speaker 1: and it was actually sort of cute. Do you want 484 00:27:08,040 --> 00:27:10,760 Speaker 1: another truth? But we did them and that had an impact. 485 00:27:10,760 --> 00:27:14,159 Speaker 1: But TikTok had an impact, and so we're taking a 486 00:27:14,200 --> 00:27:17,120 Speaker 1: look at it. But you know, we won youth. Republicans 487 00:27:17,160 --> 00:27:19,600 Speaker 1: are always thirty points down in youth. I don't know why, 488 00:27:20,280 --> 00:27:22,560 Speaker 1: but we ended up finishing. We were There was one 489 00:27:22,640 --> 00:27:25,520 Speaker 1: poll that showed us down about thirty We were thirty 490 00:27:25,560 --> 00:27:28,560 Speaker 1: five or thirty six points up with young people. 491 00:27:29,440 --> 00:27:31,159 Speaker 2: So I have a little bit of a warm spot 492 00:27:31,160 --> 00:27:32,200 Speaker 2: in my heart. I'll be honest. 493 00:27:32,280 --> 00:27:35,679 Speaker 1: Yes, please are you? Are you entertaining the idea of 494 00:27:35,720 --> 00:27:38,600 Speaker 1: preemptive strikes against your rom's nuclear facilities? 495 00:27:38,720 --> 00:27:41,480 Speaker 2: Agains who against the Iran's nuclear. 496 00:27:41,160 --> 00:27:43,719 Speaker 1: Well, I can't tell you that. I mean, I mean, 497 00:27:43,800 --> 00:27:46,000 Speaker 1: it's a wonderful question, But how can I? Am I 498 00:27:46,040 --> 00:27:49,160 Speaker 1: going to do preemptive strikes? Why would I say that? 499 00:27:49,359 --> 00:27:52,800 Speaker 1: Can you imagine if I said yes or no, you'd 500 00:27:52,800 --> 00:27:55,880 Speaker 1: say that was strange that he answered that, quay am 501 00:27:55,880 --> 00:27:59,879 Speaker 1: I going to do preemptive strikes? Or Iran is? 502 00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:01,960 Speaker 2: I had a serious question. How could I answer a 503 00:28:02,040 --> 00:28:08,280 Speaker 2: question like that, say it support of. 504 00:28:08,320 --> 00:28:10,960 Speaker 1: Its railing strikes on your line? How could I tell 505 00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:13,919 Speaker 1: you a thing like that? Now, it's just so you 506 00:28:13,960 --> 00:28:17,320 Speaker 1: don't talk about that before something may or may not happen. 507 00:28:17,440 --> 00:28:19,639 Speaker 1: You know, just I don't want to I don't want 508 00:28:19,640 --> 00:28:21,959 Speaker 1: to insult you. I just think it's just not something 509 00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:24,480 Speaker 1: that I would ever answer having to do with their 510 00:28:24,680 --> 00:28:31,040 Speaker 1: or any other place in the world. As just clearly, 511 00:28:31,240 --> 00:28:37,159 Speaker 1: do you believe there's a connection between vaccines and autism? Well, 512 00:28:37,240 --> 00:28:41,000 Speaker 1: I don't. Look right now, you have some very brilliant 513 00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:43,280 Speaker 1: people looking at it. I had dinner the other night 514 00:28:43,280 --> 00:28:45,720 Speaker 1: with the head of Pfizer, the head of ELI Lilly 515 00:28:46,640 --> 00:28:51,080 Speaker 1: and RFK as you know, and Oz and we had 516 00:28:51,520 --> 00:28:55,320 Speaker 1: and other people within the administration that are involved in 517 00:28:55,360 --> 00:28:58,840 Speaker 1: the medical and we're looking to find out. You know, 518 00:28:58,840 --> 00:29:02,200 Speaker 1: if you look at autism, so thirty years ago we 519 00:29:02,240 --> 00:29:05,280 Speaker 1: had I've heard numbers of like one in two hundred 520 00:29:05,320 --> 00:29:08,360 Speaker 1: thousand and one in one hundred thousand, and now I'm 521 00:29:08,400 --> 00:29:12,440 Speaker 1: hearing numbers of one in one hundred. So something's wrong. 522 00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:20,640 Speaker 1: There's something wrong, and we're going to find out about it. 523 00:29:21,320 --> 00:29:23,960 Speaker 1: That's why I go ahead place NBC. Can I follow 524 00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:26,400 Speaker 1: up on Robert Kennedy. He's on the hill today, he's 525 00:29:26,440 --> 00:29:27,320 Speaker 1: meeting with senators. 526 00:29:27,520 --> 00:29:29,360 Speaker 5: What do you say to people who are worried that his. 527 00:29:29,360 --> 00:29:32,160 Speaker 6: Views on vaccines will translate into policies that will make 528 00:29:32,200 --> 00:29:33,200 Speaker 6: their kids less sick. 529 00:29:33,560 --> 00:29:35,680 Speaker 1: No, I think he's going to be much less radical 530 00:29:35,720 --> 00:29:37,360 Speaker 1: than you would think. I think he's got a very 531 00:29:37,360 --> 00:29:39,240 Speaker 1: open mind, or I wouldn't have put him there. He's 532 00:29:39,280 --> 00:29:39,800 Speaker 1: going to be. 533 00:29:39,800 --> 00:29:42,920 Speaker 2: Very much less radical. But there are problems. 534 00:29:43,040 --> 00:29:44,800 Speaker 1: I mean, we don't do as well as a lot 535 00:29:44,800 --> 00:29:48,960 Speaker 1: of other nations, and those nations use nothing. And we're 536 00:29:48,960 --> 00:29:51,760 Speaker 1: going to find out what those problems are. And another 537 00:29:51,840 --> 00:29:54,120 Speaker 1: thing that came up the dinner was fascinating because they 538 00:29:54,120 --> 00:29:57,760 Speaker 1: had Bobby and I had again the head of Pfizer. 539 00:29:57,840 --> 00:30:01,640 Speaker 1: You know that is he's a a highly respected man 540 00:30:01,720 --> 00:30:04,959 Speaker 1: who has run an incredible company. Likewise with Lily, the 541 00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:08,479 Speaker 1: top two people, and we had the head of the 542 00:30:08,520 --> 00:30:11,960 Speaker 1: industry also, so all companies were represented, and I said, 543 00:30:12,040 --> 00:30:14,840 Speaker 1: let's have it out now a little bit. And you 544 00:30:14,880 --> 00:30:16,640 Speaker 1: know what came out of that meeting is that we're 545 00:30:16,680 --> 00:30:18,920 Speaker 1: paying far too much because we're paying much more than 546 00:30:18,920 --> 00:30:23,800 Speaker 1: other countries, and we have laws that make it impossible 547 00:30:23,840 --> 00:30:26,000 Speaker 1: to reduce and we have a thing called the middleman, 548 00:30:26,080 --> 00:30:29,680 Speaker 1: you know, the middleman, right, the horrible middleman that makes 549 00:30:29,680 --> 00:30:31,920 Speaker 1: more money frankly than the drug companies, and they don't 550 00:30:31,960 --> 00:30:33,320 Speaker 1: do anything except they're a middleman. 551 00:30:33,360 --> 00:30:34,720 Speaker 2: We're going to knock out the middleman. 552 00:30:35,120 --> 00:30:38,920 Speaker 1: I'm going to be very unpopular after that statement. I 553 00:30:38,960 --> 00:30:41,480 Speaker 1: don't know who these I don't know who these middlemen are, 554 00:30:41,520 --> 00:30:45,640 Speaker 1: but they are riches. Now we're going to knock out 555 00:30:45,720 --> 00:30:48,440 Speaker 1: the middleman. We're going to get drug costs down at 556 00:30:48,520 --> 00:30:52,280 Speaker 1: levels that nobody has ever seen before. And that's really 557 00:30:52,320 --> 00:30:54,400 Speaker 1: I tell you. We spent more time talking about that 558 00:30:55,160 --> 00:30:58,680 Speaker 1: with Bobby and with the executives and Oz, all of them. 559 00:30:59,040 --> 00:31:01,840 Speaker 1: We spent more time talking about that than anything else. 560 00:31:05,040 --> 00:31:07,560 Speaker 6: What about the polio vaccine. 561 00:31:07,440 --> 00:31:10,840 Speaker 1: Well, I'm a big believer in it, and I think 562 00:31:10,880 --> 00:31:12,920 Speaker 1: everything should be looked at, but I'm a big believer 563 00:31:12,960 --> 00:31:17,280 Speaker 1: in the polio vaccine, the Salk vaccine. Should mandate vaccines? 564 00:31:18,200 --> 00:31:20,480 Speaker 6: Do you think schools should mandate vaccines? 565 00:31:20,600 --> 00:31:23,160 Speaker 1: I don't like mandates. I'm not a big mandate person, 566 00:31:23,240 --> 00:31:27,000 Speaker 1: So you know, I was against mandates. Mostly Democrat governors 567 00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:30,440 Speaker 1: did the mandates, and they did a very poor thing. 568 00:31:30,720 --> 00:31:33,880 Speaker 1: You know, in retrospect, they made a big mistake having 569 00:31:33,920 --> 00:31:35,760 Speaker 1: to do with the education of children. You know, they 570 00:31:35,800 --> 00:31:37,719 Speaker 1: lost like a year or two years of their lives. 571 00:31:37,720 --> 00:31:42,440 Speaker 1: The mandate was a bad thing. I was against the mandate, Yes, please. 572 00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:45,080 Speaker 7: Do you think that's Ron is the antists or point 573 00:31:45,200 --> 00:31:47,440 Speaker 7: large Trump to find a market Rubio seat. 574 00:31:48,280 --> 00:31:53,080 Speaker 1: No, I don't. I probably don't, But I don't know. 575 00:31:53,680 --> 00:31:56,880 Speaker 1: Ron's doing a good job. That's his choice, nothing to 576 00:31:56,920 --> 00:32:01,360 Speaker 1: do with me. Laura's un believable. I mean, she was 577 00:32:01,560 --> 00:32:06,360 Speaker 1: incredible the job she did at the RNC shareman along 578 00:32:06,360 --> 00:32:10,400 Speaker 1: with Michael Whatley, the combination. But I can just speak 579 00:32:10,400 --> 00:32:15,480 Speaker 1: for Laura. She is so highly respected by women. I 580 00:32:15,520 --> 00:32:19,040 Speaker 1: mean even her workout routines are through the roof. She 581 00:32:19,120 --> 00:32:21,880 Speaker 1: lifts one hundred and fifty pounds. I don't know how 582 00:32:21,880 --> 00:32:24,920 Speaker 1: to hell she does it. She's a bad example for 583 00:32:25,040 --> 00:32:27,720 Speaker 1: men and women's sports car because I wouldn't be able 584 00:32:27,720 --> 00:32:29,800 Speaker 1: to beat her. I don't believe. I try like hell, 585 00:32:30,360 --> 00:32:34,160 Speaker 1: but no, She's an incredible woman. And you know it's 586 00:32:34,160 --> 00:32:39,880 Speaker 1: funny people oftentimes talk about nepotism. I never had. When 587 00:32:39,880 --> 00:32:42,520 Speaker 1: I put her there, people said, how did you get 588 00:32:42,560 --> 00:32:44,680 Speaker 1: her to do it? You know, she could have run 589 00:32:44,720 --> 00:32:47,000 Speaker 1: for the Senate of North Carolina. Ted Budd would be 590 00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:50,000 Speaker 1: the first to say, and he wouldn't have run. Nobody 591 00:32:50,040 --> 00:32:53,120 Speaker 1: would have run. And she just said, no, I want 592 00:32:53,160 --> 00:32:56,400 Speaker 1: to really focus on my children when the election, and 593 00:32:56,480 --> 00:33:00,120 Speaker 1: my family says a great family. When the election and 594 00:33:01,360 --> 00:33:03,560 Speaker 1: started getting closer, I asked her, would you go to 595 00:33:04,200 --> 00:33:07,200 Speaker 1: Washington and work on the Chairman of the committee along 596 00:33:07,240 --> 00:33:12,360 Speaker 1: with Michael Watley. And they did such an unbelievable job, 597 00:33:13,080 --> 00:33:17,320 Speaker 1: especially on cheating. They stopped it, or at least they 598 00:33:17,360 --> 00:33:21,000 Speaker 1: stymied it. Too big to rig and we wanted a landslide. 599 00:33:21,000 --> 00:33:23,760 Speaker 1: You know, we won tremendously. She did an amazing job. 600 00:33:24,520 --> 00:33:26,480 Speaker 1: Now Ron is going to have to make because Marco 601 00:33:27,120 --> 00:33:31,320 Speaker 1: has been really a star already and we haven't started. 602 00:33:31,360 --> 00:33:35,200 Speaker 1: But you know, we see signs of from some people, 603 00:33:35,320 --> 00:33:39,120 Speaker 1: or very early we see signs of stardom. And Marco 604 00:33:39,160 --> 00:33:44,480 Speaker 1: has done incredibly. He's sort of born for it. It 605 00:33:44,560 --> 00:33:47,520 Speaker 1: was such an easy decision. The Marco decision was such 606 00:33:47,560 --> 00:33:50,680 Speaker 1: an easy But he leaves a vacancy in Florida, and 607 00:33:50,800 --> 00:33:53,520 Speaker 1: Ron's going to have to make that decision, and he'll 608 00:33:53,520 --> 00:33:56,800 Speaker 1: make the right decision. I also know that Laura's got 609 00:33:56,840 --> 00:33:58,880 Speaker 1: so many other things. I mean, she's got so many 610 00:33:58,880 --> 00:34:01,000 Speaker 1: other things. People want her to be on television, They 611 00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:05,160 Speaker 1: want to give her a contract. You know, her predominant 612 00:34:05,200 --> 00:34:09,000 Speaker 1: thought is our country and her family. Those are her thoughts, 613 00:34:10,360 --> 00:34:12,880 Speaker 1: but she's got so many other things that she's talking about. 614 00:34:13,719 --> 00:34:15,480 Speaker 1: He'll he'll make He'll make the right decision. 615 00:34:17,600 --> 00:34:20,279 Speaker 5: Senators, who oppose your nominees or patt nominie, should they 616 00:34:20,320 --> 00:34:20,759 Speaker 5: be prom her? 617 00:34:23,280 --> 00:34:25,640 Speaker 1: If they are unreasonable, I'll give you a different answer 618 00:34:25,640 --> 00:34:30,520 Speaker 1: and answer that you'll be shocked to hear. If they're unreasonable, 619 00:34:30,640 --> 00:34:35,880 Speaker 1: if they're opposing somebody for political reasons or stupid reasons, 620 00:34:36,360 --> 00:34:37,920 Speaker 1: I would say has nothing to do with me. 621 00:34:37,960 --> 00:34:39,880 Speaker 2: I would say they probably would be primary. 622 00:34:40,600 --> 00:34:44,880 Speaker 1: But if they're reasonable, fair and really disagree with something 623 00:34:44,960 --> 00:34:48,000 Speaker 1: or somebody, I can see that happening. But I do 624 00:34:48,080 --> 00:34:50,640 Speaker 1: believe that if they are unreal, I think we have 625 00:34:50,680 --> 00:34:53,280 Speaker 1: great people. I think we have a great a great 626 00:34:53,320 --> 00:34:57,279 Speaker 1: group of people. Pam has been unbelievably received. To take 627 00:34:57,280 --> 00:35:02,480 Speaker 1: a look, Pam Bondy so have been just unbelievably received. 628 00:35:03,640 --> 00:35:08,120 Speaker 1: I think Pete Heggsth is making tremendous strides over the 629 00:35:08,200 --> 00:35:09,839 Speaker 1: last week. He's going to be great. Look, he went 630 00:35:09,880 --> 00:35:11,640 Speaker 1: to Princeton, he went to Harvard. He was a great 631 00:35:11,680 --> 00:35:14,719 Speaker 1: student there, but he really was. From the first day 632 00:35:14,760 --> 00:35:17,040 Speaker 1: I met him, all he wanted to talk about was military. 633 00:35:17,320 --> 00:35:19,720 Speaker 1: It's just a military guy. I think it's a natural. 634 00:35:19,760 --> 00:35:23,560 Speaker 1: This was my idea. And you know, Pete Heggsth gave 635 00:35:23,640 --> 00:35:27,400 Speaker 1: up a lot because he was going big places in Fox, 636 00:35:27,440 --> 00:35:30,680 Speaker 1: big big places, a lot of money, and he didn't 637 00:35:30,680 --> 00:35:32,759 Speaker 1: even hesitate When I said, do you want to do this? 638 00:35:33,440 --> 00:35:37,640 Speaker 2: He said absolutely. I said, you know, if it doesn't. 639 00:35:37,320 --> 00:35:40,440 Speaker 1: Work out, you'll never have the opportunity that you have 640 00:35:40,560 --> 00:35:44,400 Speaker 1: right now in terms of the world of entertainment or business, 641 00:35:44,480 --> 00:35:46,160 Speaker 1: whatever you want to call it. You'll never have that 642 00:35:46,239 --> 00:35:49,120 Speaker 1: opportunity again. In fact, it could be just the opposite, 643 00:35:49,440 --> 00:35:52,319 Speaker 1: because it's nasty out there. He said, I don't care. 644 00:35:52,320 --> 00:35:54,080 Speaker 1: I have to do it for my country. He gave 645 00:35:54,160 --> 00:35:57,040 Speaker 1: up a tremendous amount of this certain work. It would 646 00:35:57,040 --> 00:36:00,799 Speaker 1: be it would be a tragedy because but that's what 647 00:36:00,880 --> 00:36:02,880 Speaker 1: he loves. He loves the military. I never talked to 648 00:36:02,920 --> 00:36:05,239 Speaker 1: him about anything else. He'd talked about the military. He'd 649 00:36:05,239 --> 00:36:08,560 Speaker 1: come to see me about a soldier that was unfairly 650 00:36:08,600 --> 00:36:13,120 Speaker 1: treated and could I help. That's the only thing I 651 00:36:13,280 --> 00:36:16,160 Speaker 1: virtually ever talked to him about. And I always remembered 652 00:36:16,160 --> 00:36:18,279 Speaker 1: that I've seen him many times, and I don't think 653 00:36:18,280 --> 00:36:21,000 Speaker 1: I've ever had a subject on anything other than military. 654 00:36:21,000 --> 00:36:24,480 Speaker 1: With him, that's where his love is. And he didn't say, well, 655 00:36:24,480 --> 00:36:26,919 Speaker 1: I'd like to think about it. I'd like to talk 656 00:36:26,960 --> 00:36:30,000 Speaker 1: to my family, he said, not even a contest. And 657 00:36:30,040 --> 00:36:31,880 Speaker 1: you know, he was going through the roof over that 658 00:36:31,920 --> 00:36:34,240 Speaker 1: he was doing great. They have the number one show 659 00:36:35,000 --> 00:36:40,120 Speaker 1: that Saturday and Sunday with Will and Rachel. That was 660 00:36:40,160 --> 00:36:44,279 Speaker 1: great chemistry and if this didn't work out for him, 661 00:36:44,320 --> 00:36:52,920 Speaker 1: it would be actually sort of tragic. Yeah, yeah, I would. Well, yeah, 662 00:36:53,320 --> 00:36:55,600 Speaker 1: I think that he was treated pretty unfairly. Now I 663 00:36:55,640 --> 00:36:58,000 Speaker 1: haven't seen the gravity of it all, but it seems, 664 00:36:58,640 --> 00:37:01,560 Speaker 1: you know, like being upgraded in an airplane many years ago. 665 00:37:03,080 --> 00:37:05,520 Speaker 1: I know probably everybody here has been upgrade. They see 666 00:37:05,560 --> 00:37:09,040 Speaker 1: your all stars and they say, I want to upgrade. 667 00:37:08,560 --> 00:37:10,200 Speaker 2: That person from NBC. 668 00:37:10,440 --> 00:37:13,000 Speaker 1: I'm going to upgrade him, and that would mean you'll 669 00:37:13,000 --> 00:37:14,959 Speaker 1: spend the rest of your life in prison. I don't 670 00:37:14,960 --> 00:37:17,600 Speaker 1: know somehow I would. I mean, i'd have to see it, 671 00:37:17,600 --> 00:37:20,160 Speaker 1: because I don't know the facts. I think he was treated. 672 00:37:20,200 --> 00:37:24,760 Speaker 1: You know, it's very interesting when he essentially went against 673 00:37:24,760 --> 00:37:28,319 Speaker 1: what was happening with the migrants coming in, and you know, 674 00:37:28,400 --> 00:37:31,960 Speaker 1: he made some pretty strong statements like this, is not sustainable. 675 00:37:33,080 --> 00:37:36,040 Speaker 1: I said, you know what, he'll be indicted soon. And 676 00:37:36,080 --> 00:37:39,359 Speaker 1: I said it not as a prediction, a little bit lightheartedly, 677 00:37:39,400 --> 00:37:41,560 Speaker 1: but I said it. I said, he's going to be indicted, 678 00:37:42,480 --> 00:37:45,799 Speaker 1: and a few months later I got indicted. So I 679 00:37:45,840 --> 00:37:47,000 Speaker 1: would certainly look at it. 680 00:37:47,640 --> 00:37:51,799 Speaker 2: Yes, with the nine hundred. 681 00:37:51,480 --> 00:37:55,000 Speaker 6: Troops in Syria, are you planning on pulling out when 682 00:37:55,000 --> 00:37:55,719 Speaker 6: you didn't taught this? 683 00:37:55,880 --> 00:37:59,640 Speaker 1: Or well, you know, we are five thousand troops along 684 00:37:59,680 --> 00:38:03,000 Speaker 1: the b And I asked a couple of generals. So 685 00:38:03,360 --> 00:38:05,480 Speaker 1: we have an army of two hundred and fifty thousand 686 00:38:05,560 --> 00:38:07,960 Speaker 1: in Syria and you had an army of four hundred thousand. 687 00:38:07,960 --> 00:38:10,000 Speaker 1: They have many more people than that. Turkey is a 688 00:38:10,040 --> 00:38:13,160 Speaker 1: major force, by the way, and everyone is somebody I 689 00:38:13,160 --> 00:38:15,959 Speaker 1: got along with great, But he has a major military force, 690 00:38:16,000 --> 00:38:20,440 Speaker 1: and his has not been worn out with war. It 691 00:38:20,440 --> 00:38:22,600 Speaker 1: hasn't been worn out with all of the other day. 692 00:38:22,640 --> 00:38:26,680 Speaker 1: I mean, he's built a very strong, powerful army. And 693 00:38:26,719 --> 00:38:29,359 Speaker 1: so we have five thousand soldiers in between a five 694 00:38:29,480 --> 00:38:32,840 Speaker 1: million person army and a two hundred and fifty thousand 695 00:38:32,880 --> 00:38:36,000 Speaker 1: person army. And I asked the general what do you 696 00:38:36,040 --> 00:38:39,960 Speaker 1: think of that situation? He said, they'll be just they'll 697 00:38:40,000 --> 00:38:43,560 Speaker 1: be wiped out immediately. And I moved them out because 698 00:38:44,080 --> 00:38:45,680 Speaker 1: and I took a lot of heat, and you know 699 00:38:45,719 --> 00:38:50,080 Speaker 1: what happened, nothing, nothing, I saved a lot of lives. 700 00:38:50,280 --> 00:38:51,760 Speaker 1: Now we have nine hundred. 701 00:38:51,760 --> 00:38:52,319 Speaker 2: They put some. 702 00:38:52,400 --> 00:38:56,600 Speaker 1: Back, but nine hundred if you're talking about too now 703 00:38:56,640 --> 00:38:58,919 Speaker 1: that one of the sides has been essentially wiped out. 704 00:38:58,960 --> 00:39:01,400 Speaker 2: But nobody knows who the other side is. 705 00:39:01,440 --> 00:39:05,440 Speaker 1: But I do you know it is Turkey, Okay, Turkey 706 00:39:05,520 --> 00:39:07,959 Speaker 1: is the one behind it. He's a very smart guy. 707 00:39:08,040 --> 00:39:11,640 Speaker 1: They've wanted it for thousands of years and he got it. 708 00:39:12,719 --> 00:39:18,480 Speaker 1: And those people that went in are controlled by Turkey, 709 00:39:19,000 --> 00:39:22,040 Speaker 1: and that's okay. It's another way to fight. But no, 710 00:39:22,200 --> 00:39:25,240 Speaker 1: I don't think that I want to have our soldiers killed. 711 00:39:25,880 --> 00:39:28,200 Speaker 1: But I don't think that will happen now anyway, because 712 00:39:28,760 --> 00:39:35,880 Speaker 1: the one side's been decimated'scerned about more unvested in that region? 713 00:39:36,080 --> 00:39:38,360 Speaker 1: Or do you think it will? Well, nobody knows what 714 00:39:38,400 --> 00:39:40,480 Speaker 1: the final outcome is going to be in the region. 715 00:39:40,719 --> 00:39:43,200 Speaker 1: You know, nobody knows who really the final I believe 716 00:39:43,239 --> 00:39:46,920 Speaker 1: it's Turkey, and I think Turkey is very smart. He's 717 00:39:46,920 --> 00:39:51,200 Speaker 1: a very smart guy, and he's very tough. But Turkey 718 00:39:51,239 --> 00:39:55,440 Speaker 1: did an unfriendly takeover without a lot of lives being lost. 719 00:39:55,760 --> 00:39:58,120 Speaker 1: I can say that Asad was a butcher. Hear what 720 00:39:58,239 --> 00:40:02,520 Speaker 1: he did to children. Remember, I attacked him with the 721 00:40:02,560 --> 00:40:09,640 Speaker 1: fifty eight missiles, unbelievable missiles coming from ships seven hundred 722 00:40:09,680 --> 00:40:12,080 Speaker 1: miles away, and every one of them hit their target. 723 00:40:12,680 --> 00:40:14,360 Speaker 2: But I did that. That was the red line in 724 00:40:14,400 --> 00:40:14,840 Speaker 2: the sand. 725 00:40:14,920 --> 00:40:17,839 Speaker 1: Obama drew it, and then he refused to honor what 726 00:40:17,880 --> 00:40:20,399 Speaker 1: he did. He said, if anybody goes across the red line, 727 00:40:20,400 --> 00:40:24,080 Speaker 1: and Assad killed many more children after that, and Obama 728 00:40:24,200 --> 00:40:26,360 Speaker 1: did nothing, But I did. I hit it with a 729 00:40:26,400 --> 00:40:29,120 Speaker 1: lot of missiles. In fact, President she was sitting here 730 00:40:29,160 --> 00:40:32,520 Speaker 1: the night. He was in that dining room having chocolate cake, 731 00:40:32,600 --> 00:40:37,480 Speaker 1: remember the famous chocolate cake. And that's when I explained 732 00:40:37,520 --> 00:40:39,840 Speaker 1: to what we were doing as the missiles were shot. 733 00:40:40,320 --> 00:40:45,279 Speaker 1: And it was amazing as to precision, because every one 734 00:40:45,320 --> 00:40:49,800 Speaker 1: of those missiles hit its target from a long distance away. 735 00:40:51,080 --> 00:40:56,640 Speaker 1: Had President Obama drawn the line and where it meant something, 736 00:40:57,280 --> 00:40:59,480 Speaker 1: you wouldn't have even had Russia there. But in the 737 00:40:59,600 --> 00:41:02,400 Speaker 1: end understood why Russia went there. They were not getting 738 00:41:02,480 --> 00:41:05,000 Speaker 1: very much out of it. But now their time is 739 00:41:05,040 --> 00:41:07,600 Speaker 1: taken up with Ukraine and we'd like to get them 740 00:41:07,640 --> 00:41:12,400 Speaker 1: to stop on Ukraine and Ukraine stop. Also, as you know, 741 00:41:12,640 --> 00:41:15,200 Speaker 1: when I went to the cathedral, which is fantastic, the 742 00:41:15,280 --> 00:41:21,200 Speaker 1: job that they've done in France and the job that Macron, 743 00:41:21,480 --> 00:41:24,680 Speaker 1: you know, Emmanuel did. He did a phenomenal job on 744 00:41:25,000 --> 00:41:26,360 Speaker 1: the rebuilding of that cathedral. 745 00:41:26,400 --> 00:41:27,239 Speaker 2: It's magnificent. 746 00:41:27,320 --> 00:41:29,239 Speaker 1: And they did a great thing, and they had great 747 00:41:29,320 --> 00:41:32,520 Speaker 1: respect for our country. They treated me meaning I'm the country, 748 00:41:32,560 --> 00:41:36,080 Speaker 1: I'm the representative of our country, and we were treated 749 00:41:36,120 --> 00:41:41,560 Speaker 1: with great respect. And one of the people that came 750 00:41:41,600 --> 00:41:46,640 Speaker 1: to pay his respects is as you know, Ukraine, Zelensky, 751 00:41:47,680 --> 00:41:50,360 Speaker 1: and he would like to have peace. He wants peace. 752 00:41:51,640 --> 00:41:56,480 Speaker 1: Everyone's being killed. It's the worst carnage that this world 753 00:41:56,520 --> 00:42:00,480 Speaker 1: has seen since World War Two. I've have pictures of 754 00:42:00,560 --> 00:42:04,120 Speaker 1: fields where bodies are lying on top of bodies, looks 755 00:42:04,160 --> 00:42:06,040 Speaker 1: like the old pictures of the Civil War. 756 00:42:06,800 --> 00:42:08,520 Speaker 2: We're just bodies are all over. 757 00:42:08,719 --> 00:42:11,759 Speaker 1: Just if you if you saw those pictures, you'd feel 758 00:42:11,760 --> 00:42:15,320 Speaker 1: more strongly about it. It's got to stop. And we're trying, 759 00:42:15,400 --> 00:42:19,080 Speaker 1: and we're trying to get it to sell. Well, we're 760 00:42:19,080 --> 00:42:21,840 Speaker 1: gonna we're gonna see that, we're going to be talking. 761 00:42:21,960 --> 00:42:24,640 Speaker 1: We'll be talking to President Putin, and we'll be talking 762 00:42:24,680 --> 00:42:28,759 Speaker 1: to the representatives and Lenskin representatives from Ukraine. We've got 763 00:42:28,800 --> 00:42:31,520 Speaker 1: to stop it. It's uh, it's carnage. 764 00:42:32,120 --> 00:42:32,920 Speaker 2: Yeah. 765 00:42:33,080 --> 00:42:35,319 Speaker 1: First of all, good to see you, Thank you, Good 766 00:42:35,320 --> 00:42:35,839 Speaker 1: to see you. 767 00:42:35,960 --> 00:42:37,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, good to see you. 768 00:42:37,280 --> 00:42:39,640 Speaker 5: Can you comment on the drones that are flying around 769 00:42:39,800 --> 00:42:41,840 Speaker 5: New Jersey and the ports, and it seems like the 770 00:42:41,920 --> 00:42:43,880 Speaker 5: there people have a big distinct government. 771 00:42:44,000 --> 00:42:49,959 Speaker 1: The government knows what is happening. Look, our military knows 772 00:42:50,000 --> 00:42:52,080 Speaker 1: where they took off from. 773 00:42:52,280 --> 00:42:54,840 Speaker 2: If it's a garage, they can go right into that garage. 774 00:42:54,880 --> 00:42:57,600 Speaker 1: They know where it came from and where it went. 775 00:42:58,880 --> 00:43:00,760 Speaker 1: And for some reason that I don't want to comment, 776 00:43:01,560 --> 00:43:03,560 Speaker 1: and I think they'd be better of saying what it is. 777 00:43:03,600 --> 00:43:07,719 Speaker 1: Our military knows, and our president knows, and for some 778 00:43:07,840 --> 00:43:10,719 Speaker 1: reason they want to keep people in suspense. I can't 779 00:43:10,760 --> 00:43:13,160 Speaker 1: imagine it's the enemy, because it was the enemy. They'd 780 00:43:13,160 --> 00:43:18,160 Speaker 1: blasted out, even if they were late, they'd blasted Something 781 00:43:18,200 --> 00:43:20,239 Speaker 1: strange is going on. For some reason, they don't want 782 00:43:20,280 --> 00:43:22,360 Speaker 1: to tell the people, and they should because the people 783 00:43:22,400 --> 00:43:25,440 Speaker 1: are really I mean, they happen to be over Bedminster. 784 00:43:25,880 --> 00:43:29,080 Speaker 1: I want to know the truth. They're very they're they're 785 00:43:29,160 --> 00:43:31,439 Speaker 1: very close to Bedminster. I think maybe I won't spend 786 00:43:31,440 --> 00:43:35,200 Speaker 1: the weekend in Bedminster. I've decided to cancel my trip. 787 00:43:38,040 --> 00:43:39,160 Speaker 1: I don't want to comment on that. 788 00:43:42,480 --> 00:43:45,919 Speaker 6: Yeah, you my question first on vaccines. Do you want 789 00:43:46,040 --> 00:43:48,759 Speaker 6: RFK Junior to revoke any vaccines? 790 00:43:49,640 --> 00:43:51,720 Speaker 1: No? I want him to come back with the reporter 791 00:43:51,760 --> 00:43:53,600 Speaker 1: as to what he thinks. We're going to find out 792 00:43:53,640 --> 00:43:56,239 Speaker 1: a lot. We're doing two things. We're going to have 793 00:43:56,280 --> 00:43:59,400 Speaker 1: tremendous cost savings will come out of this. That's a minimum. 794 00:43:59,440 --> 00:44:01,600 Speaker 1: And we're all going to have and I think, very 795 00:44:01,840 --> 00:44:06,359 Speaker 1: serious discussions about certain things, whether it's pesticides on you know, 796 00:44:06,760 --> 00:44:11,200 Speaker 1: Europe doesn't use pesticides, and yet they have a better 797 00:44:11,400 --> 00:44:14,239 Speaker 1: mortality rate than we do. They don't use pesticides. In fact, 798 00:44:14,280 --> 00:44:16,399 Speaker 1: they use it as an excuse not to take our 799 00:44:16,760 --> 00:44:21,919 Speaker 1: farm product. We spend billions and billions of dollars on pesticides, 800 00:44:21,960 --> 00:44:25,600 Speaker 1: and something bad's happening again. You take a look at 801 00:44:25,640 --> 00:44:29,799 Speaker 1: autism today versus twenty twenty five years ago. It's like 802 00:44:30,360 --> 00:44:33,120 Speaker 1: not even believable. So we're going to have reports. No, 803 00:44:33,320 --> 00:44:35,319 Speaker 1: nothing's going to happen very quickly. I think you're going 804 00:44:35,400 --> 00:44:39,279 Speaker 1: to find that Bobby is much. He's a very rational guy. 805 00:44:39,320 --> 00:44:41,680 Speaker 1: I found him to be very rational. Now, nothing, You're 806 00:44:41,680 --> 00:44:44,640 Speaker 1: not going to lose the polio vaccine. That's not going 807 00:44:44,719 --> 00:44:48,160 Speaker 1: to happen. I saw what happened with the polio. I 808 00:44:48,239 --> 00:44:53,319 Speaker 1: have friends were very much affected by that. I have 809 00:44:53,440 --> 00:44:57,040 Speaker 1: friends from many years ago and they have Obviously they're 810 00:44:57,080 --> 00:44:59,600 Speaker 1: still in such good shape because of it. You know, 811 00:44:59,719 --> 00:45:03,480 Speaker 1: that was and many people died, and the moment they 812 00:45:03,560 --> 00:45:08,719 Speaker 1: took that vaccine it ended. Doctor Jonas Salk did a 813 00:45:08,800 --> 00:45:12,160 Speaker 1: great job. So I don't anticipate that at all. But 814 00:45:12,239 --> 00:45:14,880 Speaker 1: we're going to look into finding why is the autism 815 00:45:14,920 --> 00:45:16,879 Speaker 1: rate so much higher than it was twenty twenty five, 816 00:45:16,920 --> 00:45:19,840 Speaker 1: thirty years ago. I mean, it's like it's one hundred 817 00:45:19,920 --> 00:45:22,960 Speaker 1: times higher. There's something wrong, and we're going to try 818 00:45:23,000 --> 00:45:25,839 Speaker 1: finding that. We're also going to find out why are 819 00:45:25,880 --> 00:45:29,360 Speaker 1: we paying more than other countries. And we were in 820 00:45:29,400 --> 00:45:32,279 Speaker 1: the process of doing that through transparency and other things. 821 00:45:32,360 --> 00:45:34,280 Speaker 1: We were doing a good job in that first term, 822 00:45:34,480 --> 00:45:36,520 Speaker 1: and we brought it down. We got the thirty five 823 00:45:38,080 --> 00:45:41,160 Speaker 1: dollar all of the different things we got, you know, 824 00:45:41,239 --> 00:45:43,120 Speaker 1: we were the ones that got all of that done. 825 00:45:43,280 --> 00:45:45,600 Speaker 1: Every one of those things we got them done. I said, 826 00:45:45,600 --> 00:45:48,279 Speaker 1: you know, I hope I win, because otherwise somebody is 827 00:45:48,320 --> 00:45:50,759 Speaker 1: going to take a lot of credit for what we did. 828 00:45:51,200 --> 00:45:54,160 Speaker 1: But now what happens is we're going to have a 829 00:45:54,239 --> 00:45:58,080 Speaker 1: big conversation on price. Why is it that Germany and 830 00:45:59,480 --> 00:46:02,200 Speaker 1: you Can and other countries are paying so much more 831 00:46:02,239 --> 00:46:07,280 Speaker 1: for the same box of medicine made in the same plant. 832 00:46:08,000 --> 00:46:10,560 Speaker 1: Why is it that we're paying many times? And I 833 00:46:10,600 --> 00:46:13,480 Speaker 1: know the answer because our government didn't do what they 834 00:46:13,480 --> 00:46:15,680 Speaker 1: were supposed to do, and what I put in place 835 00:46:15,800 --> 00:46:20,120 Speaker 1: was terminated unexpectedly by the Biden administration, and they shouldn't 836 00:46:20,120 --> 00:46:22,040 Speaker 1: have terminated it had a huge impacked. 837 00:46:22,280 --> 00:46:27,160 Speaker 6: Okay, great, you mentioned that some of the areas are 838 00:46:27,200 --> 00:46:32,120 Speaker 6: already decimated. Do you believe that Ukraine should see territory 839 00:46:32,200 --> 00:46:32,760 Speaker 6: to Russia. 840 00:46:34,000 --> 00:46:36,000 Speaker 1: Well, I'm going to let you know that after I 841 00:46:36,040 --> 00:46:40,040 Speaker 1: have my first meeting. But a lot of that territory 842 00:46:40,080 --> 00:46:41,960 Speaker 1: when you look at what's happened to those I mean, 843 00:46:42,200 --> 00:46:44,600 Speaker 1: there are cities that there's not a building standing. 844 00:46:45,440 --> 00:46:46,960 Speaker 2: It's a demolition site. 845 00:46:47,040 --> 00:46:50,560 Speaker 1: There's not a building standing, so people can't go back 846 00:46:50,600 --> 00:46:54,520 Speaker 1: to those cities. There's nothing there. It's just rubble. Just 847 00:46:54,640 --> 00:46:59,080 Speaker 1: like when I knocked down a building in Manhattan, which 848 00:46:59,120 --> 00:47:01,799 Speaker 1: is actually this this is worse. Actually because we do 849 00:47:01,840 --> 00:47:07,640 Speaker 1: it step by step. This thing has just got demolished. 850 00:47:07,680 --> 00:47:09,680 Speaker 1: And by the way, in those buildings are many people. 851 00:47:10,200 --> 00:47:12,239 Speaker 1: Many people were in those buildings. You know, when they 852 00:47:12,280 --> 00:47:14,520 Speaker 1: say the number in Ukraine is going to be a 853 00:47:14,600 --> 00:47:17,239 Speaker 1: much higher number of death is going to be a 854 00:47:17,320 --> 00:47:19,680 Speaker 1: much higher number than you're hearing. You know, they have 855 00:47:19,800 --> 00:47:22,680 Speaker 1: big buildings. This is what I did very well. And 856 00:47:22,719 --> 00:47:25,960 Speaker 1: these are very long buildings. They're fifteen to twenty stories high. 857 00:47:26,000 --> 00:47:28,719 Speaker 1: They're massive buildings. I was surprised at how big. And 858 00:47:28,760 --> 00:47:32,440 Speaker 1: they're flattened like a pancake. One or two bombs hit 859 00:47:32,480 --> 00:47:37,720 Speaker 1: them and they just collapse. And they say nobody was hurt. Well, 860 00:47:38,120 --> 00:47:40,200 Speaker 1: nobody knows who was in those buildings. There were a 861 00:47:40,200 --> 00:47:42,000 Speaker 1: lot of people in those buildings. They're going to find 862 00:47:42,040 --> 00:47:47,200 Speaker 1: that when they start doing the removal. Many more people 863 00:47:47,280 --> 00:47:50,120 Speaker 1: are being killed in the Ukraine war with Russia than 864 00:47:50,640 --> 00:47:54,120 Speaker 1: is being reported, and then include soldiers. The soldiers are 865 00:47:54,160 --> 00:47:57,680 Speaker 1: being it's a carnage that we haven't seen since the 866 00:47:57,760 --> 00:48:00,719 Speaker 1: Second World War. It's got to be stopped. I'm doing 867 00:48:00,840 --> 00:48:03,480 Speaker 1: I'm doing my best to stop. Yeah, please go ahead. 868 00:48:03,840 --> 00:48:08,800 Speaker 7: You had a meeting with missus Abbe yesterday. But Japanese 869 00:48:08,800 --> 00:48:12,880 Speaker 7: price missus Abia and I'm Japanese Prime Minister. Sheba is 870 00:48:12,920 --> 00:48:15,080 Speaker 7: hoping to have a meeting anytime soon. 871 00:48:15,160 --> 00:48:18,360 Speaker 1: I will do that. In fact, I sent him a momento. 872 00:48:18,520 --> 00:48:22,560 Speaker 1: I sent him a book, the Prime minister. But missus 873 00:48:22,600 --> 00:48:26,120 Speaker 1: Abi was very close with our first lady with Milania, 874 00:48:26,360 --> 00:48:30,040 Speaker 1: and she loved Milania's book and she called and wanted 875 00:48:30,080 --> 00:48:31,680 Speaker 1: to know if she could have I was very close 876 00:48:31,719 --> 00:48:37,120 Speaker 1: to the Prime Minister Shinzo Abi. He was great, he 877 00:48:37,200 --> 00:48:40,880 Speaker 1: was a great man, and his wife wanted to know 878 00:48:40,920 --> 00:48:42,640 Speaker 1: if it would be possible to have dinner and it 879 00:48:42,719 --> 00:48:46,319 Speaker 1: was just out of respect to Shinzo. And yes, I'd 880 00:48:46,320 --> 00:48:48,520 Speaker 1: love to see the Prime minister and we will do that. 881 00:48:48,640 --> 00:48:51,440 Speaker 1: I actually sent him a book and some other things 882 00:48:52,080 --> 00:48:57,960 Speaker 1: for him through through missus Abi. It could if if 883 00:48:58,000 --> 00:49:01,759 Speaker 1: they'd like to do that, I would do that. Yeah, no, 884 00:49:01,880 --> 00:49:03,880 Speaker 1: I have I have great I have great respect for 885 00:49:03,960 --> 00:49:07,200 Speaker 1: the you know, for the position, and uh, if he'd 886 00:49:07,200 --> 00:49:08,239 Speaker 1: like to do that, I'd be here. 887 00:49:10,719 --> 00:49:13,480 Speaker 7: Ambassadors of Japan will be on. George Glass, is that 888 00:49:13,600 --> 00:49:14,440 Speaker 7: your final decision? 889 00:49:14,560 --> 00:49:19,200 Speaker 1: Highly respected man, that's right, highly respected. He's been an 890 00:49:19,200 --> 00:49:23,960 Speaker 1: ambassador before did a fantastic job. We considered Japan very important. 891 00:49:24,040 --> 00:49:29,359 Speaker 1: He's very highly respected. Okay, a couple of more, which 892 00:49:29,400 --> 00:49:33,200 Speaker 1: other four years have you invited to the inauguration? The 893 00:49:33,239 --> 00:49:37,240 Speaker 1: world leaders are calling me and some I really would 894 00:49:37,239 --> 00:49:41,040 Speaker 1: like to meet. No, I mean literally they're they're calling 895 00:49:41,080 --> 00:49:45,200 Speaker 1: me and I'll be seeing some of them. I think 896 00:49:45,200 --> 00:49:46,879 Speaker 1: it's rude not to I mean, it's hard to say 897 00:49:46,880 --> 00:49:50,720 Speaker 1: I'm not going to see you. And uh, I've spoken 898 00:49:50,760 --> 00:49:54,040 Speaker 1: to way over one hundred where they called to congratulate 899 00:49:54,719 --> 00:49:57,279 Speaker 1: on the not only the election, but the size of 900 00:49:57,320 --> 00:50:01,319 Speaker 1: the election, the extent of the victory, and they were great. 901 00:50:01,320 --> 00:50:03,719 Speaker 1: I mean I spoke to over one hundred countries. You 902 00:50:03,719 --> 00:50:08,720 Speaker 1: wouldn't believe how many countries there are. And I'm trying 903 00:50:08,960 --> 00:50:11,000 Speaker 1: but the best I can to get back to everybody. 904 00:50:11,040 --> 00:50:13,080 Speaker 1: But there are a lot of countries and every one 905 00:50:13,080 --> 00:50:15,560 Speaker 1: of them literally everyone called and it was very nice. 906 00:50:15,920 --> 00:50:20,040 Speaker 1: So I'd see some if some felt it was an emergency. 907 00:50:20,080 --> 00:50:23,319 Speaker 1: I've seen, as you know, I've seen President Zelenski. He 908 00:50:23,400 --> 00:50:25,800 Speaker 1: came to France while I was there for the CA 909 00:50:25,880 --> 00:50:30,720 Speaker 1: Cathedral opening. They actually had about seventy presidents and prime 910 00:50:30,719 --> 00:50:38,879 Speaker 1: ministers and in one case, a king, and. 911 00:50:36,840 --> 00:50:38,120 Speaker 2: We saw some great people. 912 00:50:38,160 --> 00:50:42,760 Speaker 1: I also met with William and I was very impressed 913 00:50:42,760 --> 00:50:45,240 Speaker 1: by William. I think William is terrific. 914 00:50:45,280 --> 00:50:46,720 Speaker 2: I was very impressed by William. 915 00:50:47,120 --> 00:50:53,359 Speaker 1: As you know, I met with him too preemptively. Did 916 00:50:53,400 --> 00:51:00,360 Speaker 1: you invite Zelensky to the inauguration? No, but you'd like 917 00:51:00,400 --> 00:51:02,319 Speaker 1: to come. I'd like to have him. I mean I 918 00:51:02,360 --> 00:51:03,239 Speaker 1: didn't invite him. 919 00:51:03,239 --> 00:51:08,560 Speaker 6: Now, are you disappointed that China Sheet won't be at 920 00:51:08,560 --> 00:51:09,200 Speaker 6: the inauguration? 921 00:51:09,760 --> 00:51:11,520 Speaker 1: I don't know that he won't be at the inauguration. 922 00:51:11,640 --> 00:51:13,640 Speaker 1: I mean I haven't really spoken to him about it. 923 00:51:15,840 --> 00:51:18,319 Speaker 1: I don't know that. Actually I would say that if 924 00:51:18,320 --> 00:51:20,759 Speaker 1: he'd like to come, I'd love to have him. But 925 00:51:22,160 --> 00:51:26,640 Speaker 1: there's been nothing much discussed. I have had discussions with him, letters, 926 00:51:26,719 --> 00:51:30,080 Speaker 1: et cetera, et cetera, at a very high level. You know, 927 00:51:30,120 --> 00:51:30,880 Speaker 1: we had a very good. 928 00:51:30,760 --> 00:51:32,120 Speaker 2: Relationship until COVID. 929 00:51:32,200 --> 00:51:37,240 Speaker 1: COVID didn't end the relationship, but it was a bridge 930 00:51:37,280 --> 00:51:41,919 Speaker 1: too far from me. But if he'd like to come, 931 00:51:42,000 --> 00:51:42,840 Speaker 1: i'd certainly be. 932 00:51:43,040 --> 00:51:44,000 Speaker 2: He hasn't. 933 00:51:44,080 --> 00:51:45,800 Speaker 1: Just so you understand, he hasn't said one way or 934 00:51:45,840 --> 00:51:48,479 Speaker 1: the other. Because a lot of people say he won't come, 935 00:51:48,560 --> 00:51:50,800 Speaker 1: he will come. People think he will come. He won't come. 936 00:51:51,520 --> 00:51:55,960 Speaker 1: It's something we barely discussed, just about didn't discuss. But 937 00:51:56,040 --> 00:52:02,000 Speaker 1: I have had, especially through letters, some very good conversations 938 00:52:02,040 --> 00:52:06,200 Speaker 1: with him. You know, because China and the United States 939 00:52:06,280 --> 00:52:10,360 Speaker 1: can together solve all of the problems of the world 940 00:52:11,480 --> 00:52:14,200 Speaker 1: if you think about it. So it's very important. And 941 00:52:14,440 --> 00:52:15,839 Speaker 1: you know, he was a friend of mine. I mean, 942 00:52:15,880 --> 00:52:18,640 Speaker 1: he was here for a long time, right in that spot, 943 00:52:18,680 --> 00:52:21,720 Speaker 1: except sitting in a very comfortable chair. He wasn't standing 944 00:52:21,760 --> 00:52:25,920 Speaker 1: like you are. But we we spent hours and hours talking. 945 00:52:27,239 --> 00:52:31,360 Speaker 1: And you know, he's an amazing guy. The press, the 946 00:52:31,440 --> 00:52:34,080 Speaker 1: press hates when I say that, but he's an amazing person. 947 00:52:39,080 --> 00:52:43,000 Speaker 1: Go ahead, what I think it's terrible? Can you give 948 00:52:43,080 --> 00:52:44,319 Speaker 1: us your thoughts about that? And what do you mean? 949 00:52:44,480 --> 00:52:45,960 Speaker 2: Well, I think it's terrible. 950 00:52:47,000 --> 00:52:49,239 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I think it's a terrible thing. I think 951 00:52:49,239 --> 00:52:54,000 Speaker 1: it's really terrible that some people seem to admire him 952 00:52:54,160 --> 00:52:57,920 Speaker 1: like him. Uh. And I was happy to see that 953 00:52:58,000 --> 00:53:01,239 Speaker 1: it wasn't specific to this gentleman that we skilled. It's 954 00:53:01,360 --> 00:53:05,480 Speaker 1: just an overall sickness as opposed to a specific sickness. 955 00:53:06,440 --> 00:53:09,120 Speaker 1: That was a terrible thing. It was cold blooded, just 956 00:53:09,200 --> 00:53:13,120 Speaker 1: a cold blooded horrible killing and how people can like 957 00:53:13,200 --> 00:53:14,919 Speaker 1: this guy is. 958 00:53:16,320 --> 00:53:17,120 Speaker 2: That's a sickness. 959 00:53:17,200 --> 00:53:20,439 Speaker 1: Actually, that's really very bad, especially the way it was done. 960 00:53:20,440 --> 00:53:21,799 Speaker 2: It was so bad right in. 961 00:53:21,760 --> 00:53:26,719 Speaker 1: The back and very bad, very. 962 00:53:26,360 --> 00:53:26,960 Speaker 2: Thing like that. 963 00:53:27,000 --> 00:53:30,439 Speaker 1: You just you can't believe that some people and maybe 964 00:53:30,520 --> 00:53:31,360 Speaker 1: it's fake news. 965 00:53:31,360 --> 00:53:32,759 Speaker 2: I don't know. It's hard to believe. 966 00:53:32,520 --> 00:53:35,760 Speaker 1: That that can even be thought of, But it seems 967 00:53:35,800 --> 00:53:39,360 Speaker 1: that there's a certain appetite for him. I don't get it. 968 00:53:39,440 --> 00:53:43,879 Speaker 5: Yeah, please, I want to expand on the defamation lawsuits. 969 00:53:44,080 --> 00:53:48,520 Speaker 5: Could you see move that to other people with individual platforms, 970 00:53:48,520 --> 00:53:51,760 Speaker 5: social media influencers, people that were horse fabors. 971 00:53:51,840 --> 00:53:55,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, oh I do, I do. I think 972 00:53:55,560 --> 00:53:58,880 Speaker 1: you have to do it because they're very just honest. 973 00:53:59,200 --> 00:54:01,960 Speaker 1: We need a great media, We need a fair media. 974 00:54:02,880 --> 00:54:06,400 Speaker 1: We need it's very important. And we need borders. We 975 00:54:06,440 --> 00:54:09,640 Speaker 1: need walls, but we need borders, and we need fair elections. 976 00:54:10,600 --> 00:54:13,440 Speaker 1: You look at California, millions and millions of ballots were 977 00:54:13,440 --> 00:54:17,040 Speaker 1: sent out. They're still counting the vote in California with 978 00:54:17,160 --> 00:54:20,240 Speaker 1: the machines are counting the vote. If you had paper ballots, 979 00:54:20,239 --> 00:54:21,840 Speaker 1: the votes would have been counted four. 980 00:54:21,680 --> 00:54:25,520 Speaker 2: Weeks ago, three weeks ago. Now, you need fair elections. 981 00:54:25,560 --> 00:54:28,480 Speaker 1: You need borders, and you need a fair press, and 982 00:54:28,840 --> 00:54:31,279 Speaker 1: the press is no I see others. I have a 983 00:54:31,280 --> 00:54:35,280 Speaker 1: few others that I'm doing. I'm going to as an example, 984 00:54:35,360 --> 00:54:37,640 Speaker 1: we're bringing I'm doing this not because I want to. 985 00:54:38,080 --> 00:54:40,160 Speaker 1: I'm doing this because I feel I have an obligation to. 986 00:54:40,280 --> 00:54:44,400 Speaker 1: I'm going to be bringing one against the people in Iowa. 987 00:54:44,600 --> 00:54:48,239 Speaker 1: Their newspaper which had a very very good pulster who 988 00:54:48,239 --> 00:54:51,160 Speaker 1: got me right all the time. And then just before 989 00:54:51,160 --> 00:54:53,080 Speaker 1: the election she said I was going to lose by 990 00:54:53,080 --> 00:54:55,560 Speaker 1: three or four points. That it became the biggest story 991 00:54:55,640 --> 00:54:58,759 Speaker 1: all over the world because I was going to win 992 00:54:58,840 --> 00:55:02,200 Speaker 1: Iowa by twenty points. The farmers loved me, and I 993 00:55:02,239 --> 00:55:05,680 Speaker 1: loved the farmers, and it was interesting the way she 994 00:55:05,680 --> 00:55:07,840 Speaker 1: did it. She brought it down two weeks before she 995 00:55:07,880 --> 00:55:09,719 Speaker 1: said I was gonna only win by four. That was 996 00:55:09,760 --> 00:55:12,439 Speaker 1: a big story. But that was good because she brought 997 00:55:12,440 --> 00:55:15,720 Speaker 1: it down from like twenty two points to four or whatever. 998 00:55:15,760 --> 00:55:18,960 Speaker 1: The number was way up, way up, easy when we 999 00:55:19,200 --> 00:55:21,960 Speaker 1: never even thought to go there. I respect him, I 1000 00:55:22,000 --> 00:55:23,880 Speaker 1: love him, and they understand there's no reason to go 1001 00:55:23,960 --> 00:55:27,600 Speaker 1: there because she brought it from way up walk away, 1002 00:55:27,960 --> 00:55:29,719 Speaker 1: which it was, and it turned out to be in 1003 00:55:29,760 --> 00:55:31,960 Speaker 1: the election too, by the way, it was a win 1004 00:55:32,120 --> 00:55:33,360 Speaker 1: by many, many points. 1005 00:55:34,120 --> 00:55:36,600 Speaker 2: And then she brought it down very smartly to four. 1006 00:55:36,920 --> 00:55:40,240 Speaker 1: A couple of weeks before, and everyone said, wow, that's amazing, 1007 00:55:40,280 --> 00:55:42,880 Speaker 1: he's only up by four points. Then she brought it 1008 00:55:42,920 --> 00:55:45,040 Speaker 1: down to where I was down by three or four 1009 00:55:45,160 --> 00:55:49,160 Speaker 1: whatever number she used, and that was the Des Moines 1010 00:55:49,200 --> 00:55:54,640 Speaker 1: Register and it was their parent and in my opinion, 1011 00:55:54,680 --> 00:55:57,520 Speaker 1: it was fraud and it was election interference. You know, 1012 00:55:57,600 --> 00:55:59,919 Speaker 1: she's gotten me right always. She's a very good pul 1013 00:56:00,040 --> 00:56:02,239 Speaker 1: so she knows what she was doing. And she then 1014 00:56:02,320 --> 00:56:06,280 Speaker 1: quit before and will probably be filing a major lawsuit 1015 00:56:06,280 --> 00:56:09,800 Speaker 1: against them today or tomorrow. We're filing one on sixty minutes, 1016 00:56:09,840 --> 00:56:13,000 Speaker 1: you know about that where they took Kamala's answer, which 1017 00:56:13,080 --> 00:56:17,040 Speaker 1: was a crazy answer, a horrible answer, and they took 1018 00:56:17,080 --> 00:56:20,359 Speaker 1: the whole answer out and they replaced it with something else, 1019 00:56:20,360 --> 00:56:23,279 Speaker 1: she said later on in the interview, which wasn't a 1020 00:56:23,320 --> 00:56:26,200 Speaker 1: great answer, but it wasn't like the first one. The 1021 00:56:26,200 --> 00:56:30,080 Speaker 1: first was grossly incompetent. It was weird, and that was 1022 00:56:30,400 --> 00:56:34,279 Speaker 1: fraud and election interference by their news magazine, a big 1023 00:56:34,320 --> 00:56:37,640 Speaker 1: part of CBS News. So as you know we're involved 1024 00:56:37,640 --> 00:56:40,600 Speaker 1: in that. We're involved in one which has been going 1025 00:56:40,640 --> 00:56:44,280 Speaker 1: on for a while, and very successfully against Bob Woodward, 1026 00:56:44,480 --> 00:56:49,279 Speaker 1: where he didn't quote me properly from the tapes, and 1027 00:56:49,320 --> 00:56:52,600 Speaker 1: then on top of everything else, he sold the tapes, 1028 00:56:53,040 --> 00:56:55,080 Speaker 1: which he wasn't allowed to do. He could only use 1029 00:56:55,120 --> 00:56:58,440 Speaker 1: him for reporting purposes, not for sale purposes. And he 1030 00:56:58,520 --> 00:56:59,160 Speaker 1: admits that. 1031 00:57:00,000 --> 00:57:01,839 Speaker 2: And I think we'll be successful on that one. 1032 00:57:01,880 --> 00:57:09,200 Speaker 1: And we have one very interestingly on Pulitzer, because reporters 1033 00:57:09,200 --> 00:57:12,440 Speaker 1: at the New York Times Washington Post got pullet Serprizes 1034 00:57:12,520 --> 00:57:17,680 Speaker 1: for their wonderful, accurate and highly professional reporting on the 1035 00:57:17,720 --> 00:57:20,600 Speaker 1: Russia Russia Russia hoax. Well it turned out to be 1036 00:57:20,640 --> 00:57:25,640 Speaker 1: a hoax, and they were exactly wrong. People, like many people, 1037 00:57:25,720 --> 00:57:29,960 Speaker 1: John Solomon, Sean Hannity's not for Pulitzer, but Sean Hannity 1038 00:57:30,040 --> 00:57:32,800 Speaker 1: got it right. Many people got it right. Tucker got 1039 00:57:32,800 --> 00:57:35,880 Speaker 1: it right, Jesse got it right, Laura got it right, 1040 00:57:36,280 --> 00:57:38,439 Speaker 1: Jane got it right. A lot of people got it right. 1041 00:57:38,720 --> 00:57:41,560 Speaker 1: They didn't get anything. They gave it to reporters. They 1042 00:57:41,600 --> 00:57:44,120 Speaker 1: got it absolutely wrong. And now everybody admits it was 1043 00:57:44,160 --> 00:57:47,040 Speaker 1: a hoax, and I want them to get back take 1044 00:57:47,080 --> 00:57:50,560 Speaker 1: back the Politicer prizes and pay big damages. And I 1045 00:57:50,560 --> 00:57:52,800 Speaker 1: think we're doing very well on that one. They have 1046 00:57:52,840 --> 00:57:56,400 Speaker 1: no excuse for it. They gave a Pulitzer prize to writers. 1047 00:57:56,440 --> 00:58:00,400 Speaker 1: They got Russia Russia Russia wrong, and so I think 1048 00:58:00,440 --> 00:58:02,440 Speaker 1: we're doing well, and I feel I have to do this. 1049 00:58:02,760 --> 00:58:05,080 Speaker 1: I shouldn't really be the one to do it. It 1050 00:58:05,120 --> 00:58:09,560 Speaker 1: should have been Justice Department or somebody else, but I 1051 00:58:09,640 --> 00:58:11,880 Speaker 1: have to do it. It costs a lot of money to 1052 00:58:11,960 --> 00:58:15,360 Speaker 1: do it. But we have to straighten out the press. 1053 00:58:15,400 --> 00:58:21,640 Speaker 1: Our press is very corrupt, almost as corrupt as our elections. 1054 00:58:21,880 --> 00:58:27,120 Speaker 1: Exactly for January sixth defendants. You have said in the 1055 00:58:27,160 --> 00:58:28,240 Speaker 1: first few minutes of your. 1056 00:58:28,160 --> 00:58:31,440 Speaker 6: Administration you want to issue pardons for January sixth defendents. 1057 00:58:31,600 --> 00:58:33,840 Speaker 6: Does that include will that be a blanket pardon? 1058 00:58:34,240 --> 00:58:36,080 Speaker 2: Does that Well, you'll find out, but it's going to 1059 00:58:36,120 --> 00:58:36,640 Speaker 2: go quickly. 1060 00:58:37,000 --> 00:58:39,400 Speaker 1: Yeah. Sure. 1061 00:58:39,840 --> 00:58:43,960 Speaker 5: With in terms of your vast implication plans, really plunary 1062 00:58:43,960 --> 00:58:47,280 Speaker 5: discussions with countries like Venezuala, from where the trendy a 1063 00:58:47,360 --> 00:58:49,360 Speaker 5: robick gang is now popping. 1064 00:58:49,400 --> 00:58:50,360 Speaker 1: They'll take them back. 1065 00:58:51,760 --> 00:58:53,000 Speaker 2: They're all taking them back, yep. 1066 00:58:53,720 --> 00:58:58,360 Speaker 1: And if they don't, they'll be met very harshly economically okay, 1067 00:58:58,400 --> 00:59:02,520 Speaker 1: they'll all take them back. You know, Venezuela and other 1068 00:59:02,560 --> 00:59:06,760 Speaker 1: countries we're not behaving very well with us during my administration, 1069 00:59:06,920 --> 00:59:09,840 Speaker 1: and within twenty four hours they were behaving very well. 1070 00:59:09,960 --> 00:59:12,160 Speaker 1: They'll all take them back. Jeff. 1071 00:59:12,960 --> 00:59:14,000 Speaker 2: Nice to see you, Jeff. 1072 00:59:14,040 --> 00:59:16,640 Speaker 1: This is like the old days, right, you've looked Actually 1073 00:59:16,680 --> 00:59:19,080 Speaker 1: it looked much better now than you did four years ago. 1074 00:59:19,160 --> 00:59:19,800 Speaker 1: What are you doing? 1075 00:59:20,040 --> 00:59:20,680 Speaker 2: What's he doing? 1076 00:59:20,960 --> 00:59:22,840 Speaker 1: All right? Go ahead, thank you sir. 1077 00:59:23,080 --> 00:59:25,560 Speaker 6: The first day you just mentioned that you're in office. 1078 00:59:25,640 --> 00:59:27,760 Speaker 1: I imagine you've got some executive orders that you have 1079 00:59:27,760 --> 00:59:29,360 Speaker 1: a lot of go through. Can you tell us what 1080 00:59:29,520 --> 00:59:32,440 Speaker 1: you will have a lot? Well, I'll bet you could tell. 1081 00:59:32,720 --> 00:59:35,440 Speaker 1: You could say as well as I could. We will 1082 00:59:35,440 --> 00:59:39,200 Speaker 1: will have many executive orders and other things that we'll 1083 00:59:39,240 --> 00:59:44,680 Speaker 1: be signing. On the first day, you said that your 1084 00:59:44,720 --> 00:59:47,520 Speaker 1: conversation with Prime mister net Yahoo was kind of a 1085 00:59:47,560 --> 00:59:53,240 Speaker 1: review did We just had a very good conversation and 1086 00:59:54,360 --> 00:59:58,160 Speaker 1: you know, the real conversations will start on the twentieth, 1087 00:59:58,800 --> 01:00:01,840 Speaker 1: but we had a really good conversation. And I think 1088 01:00:01,880 --> 01:00:03,160 Speaker 1: we're going to be in a good place in the 1089 01:00:03,160 --> 01:00:05,880 Speaker 1: Middle East. I think the Middle East will be in 1090 01:00:05,920 --> 01:00:08,840 Speaker 1: a good place. I think actually more difficult is going 1091 01:00:08,920 --> 01:00:11,840 Speaker 1: to be the Russia Ukraine situation. I see that as 1092 01:00:11,840 --> 01:00:15,520 Speaker 1: more difficult. I don't think they should have allowed missiles 1093 01:00:15,520 --> 01:00:18,560 Speaker 1: to be shot two hundred miles into Russia. I think 1094 01:00:18,600 --> 01:00:21,920 Speaker 1: that was a bad thing and that brought the Koreans 1095 01:00:21,960 --> 01:00:25,880 Speaker 1: in North Korea, another man I get along with very well. 1096 01:00:25,880 --> 01:00:26,919 Speaker 2: I'm the only one that does. 1097 01:00:27,760 --> 01:00:30,840 Speaker 1: But that did a lot of bad things. I don't 1098 01:00:30,880 --> 01:00:34,480 Speaker 1: think that should have been allowed, not when there's a possibility, 1099 01:00:34,480 --> 01:00:37,080 Speaker 1: and certainly not just weeks before I take over. Why 1100 01:00:37,120 --> 01:00:39,360 Speaker 1: would they do that without asking me what I thought? 1101 01:00:39,880 --> 01:00:41,520 Speaker 1: I wouldn't have had them do that. I think it 1102 01:00:41,520 --> 01:00:42,600 Speaker 1: was a big mistake they met. 1103 01:00:45,080 --> 01:00:45,840 Speaker 3: It's a booth. 1104 01:00:46,000 --> 01:00:48,320 Speaker 1: I might, yeah, I thought it was a very stupid 1105 01:00:48,320 --> 01:00:48,800 Speaker 1: thing to do. 1106 01:00:51,040 --> 01:00:53,160 Speaker 6: When you say that there will be hell to pay 1107 01:00:53,200 --> 01:00:55,960 Speaker 6: if the hostages are not released before January twentieth, what 1108 01:00:56,040 --> 01:00:56,560 Speaker 6: does that mean. 1109 01:00:56,640 --> 01:00:58,560 Speaker 1: Well, they're going to have to determine what that means. 1110 01:00:59,000 --> 01:01:03,680 Speaker 1: But it means it won't be pleasant. It's it's not 1111 01:01:03,760 --> 01:01:04,640 Speaker 1: going to be pleasant. 1112 01:01:04,680 --> 01:01:04,760 Speaker 5: Ye. 1113 01:01:05,040 --> 01:01:08,520 Speaker 6: I wasting with Timp Cooke and did you talk about 1114 01:01:08,600 --> 01:01:09,800 Speaker 6: terror in that ing? 1115 01:01:09,880 --> 01:01:12,120 Speaker 2: Communing with it apples Tim Cook. 1116 01:01:13,000 --> 01:01:16,840 Speaker 1: I did have a dinner with Tim Cook I had 1117 01:01:17,080 --> 01:01:19,640 Speaker 1: dinner with sort of almost all of them, and the 1118 01:01:19,680 --> 01:01:22,840 Speaker 1: rest are coming. And this is one of the big 1119 01:01:22,840 --> 01:01:25,400 Speaker 1: differences I think between we were talking about it before. 1120 01:01:26,880 --> 01:01:29,560 Speaker 1: One of the big differences between the first term and 1121 01:01:29,640 --> 01:01:33,160 Speaker 1: the first term. Everybody was fighting me this term. Everybody 1122 01:01:33,160 --> 01:01:35,840 Speaker 1: wants to be my friend. I don't know my personality 1123 01:01:36,040 --> 01:01:40,560 Speaker 1: changed or something, but I had, as you know, I 1124 01:01:40,640 --> 01:01:43,920 Speaker 1: had Sundar from Google, but I also had Serge. Nobody 1125 01:01:43,960 --> 01:01:48,919 Speaker 1: reported that Serge is the owner, the primary owner, along 1126 01:01:49,000 --> 01:01:53,600 Speaker 1: with his friend, as you know, and Serge was here also. 1127 01:01:53,880 --> 01:01:56,200 Speaker 1: I can't believe you didn't pick that one up. Nobody 1128 01:01:56,200 --> 01:01:58,520 Speaker 1: picked that up. But I will tall you no, there's 1129 01:01:58,520 --> 01:02:02,200 Speaker 1: a big difference. The big difference is that the first time, 1130 01:02:02,240 --> 01:02:06,840 Speaker 1: everybody was fighting me on all fronts, and we had 1131 01:02:06,840 --> 01:02:10,920 Speaker 1: a great administration. We got the biggest tax cuts in history, 1132 01:02:11,160 --> 01:02:13,560 Speaker 1: rebuilt the military. Too much of it was given away 1133 01:02:13,600 --> 01:02:17,720 Speaker 1: to Afghanistan, stupidly given away, horribly given away. I think 1134 01:02:17,720 --> 01:02:20,600 Speaker 1: that's one of the reasons that Putin went in to 1135 01:02:20,760 --> 01:02:24,280 Speaker 1: Ukraine when he saw the stupidity of million these guys, 1136 01:02:24,280 --> 01:02:27,800 Speaker 1: stupid people, very stupid people. If he didn't if they 1137 01:02:27,800 --> 01:02:29,600 Speaker 1: didn't do such a big you know, we were pulling 1138 01:02:29,600 --> 01:02:31,440 Speaker 1: out of Afghanistan. But I would have pulled out with 1139 01:02:31,520 --> 01:02:35,000 Speaker 1: dignity and strength. They wouldn't be having parades, I guarantee 1140 01:02:35,040 --> 01:02:37,360 Speaker 1: you showing our equipment that they left beyond, because we 1141 01:02:37,360 --> 01:02:40,040 Speaker 1: weren't going to leave any equipment beyond not ten cents. 1142 01:02:40,280 --> 01:02:42,760 Speaker 1: We were going to take every screw in every bolt. 1143 01:02:43,880 --> 01:02:48,600 Speaker 1: So yeah, the biggest difference is that people want to 1144 01:02:48,600 --> 01:02:51,439 Speaker 1: get along with me this time. Well they've gone through 1145 01:02:51,440 --> 01:02:53,320 Speaker 1: four years and you know, it wasn't easy for me, 1146 01:02:53,400 --> 01:02:56,040 Speaker 1: but it wasn't easy for them either, and that's a 1147 01:02:56,040 --> 01:02:58,320 Speaker 1: great thing though. Getting along is a great thing. So 1148 01:02:58,960 --> 01:03:01,280 Speaker 1: Tim Cook was here. I think he's done an incredible 1149 01:03:01,360 --> 01:03:05,240 Speaker 1: job at Apple, and he talked about the future of Apple. 1150 01:03:05,520 --> 01:03:09,120 Speaker 1: It's going to be a bright future. But we have 1151 01:03:09,360 --> 01:03:12,920 Speaker 1: many others also and not in that business. And we 1152 01:03:13,000 --> 01:03:16,360 Speaker 1: do have Jeff Bezos Amazon coming in some. 1153 01:03:16,400 --> 01:03:18,240 Speaker 2: Time during the week. Look forward to that. 1154 01:03:18,800 --> 01:03:20,800 Speaker 1: We have a lot of great executives coming in, the 1155 01:03:20,840 --> 01:03:25,160 Speaker 1: top executives, the top bankers, they're all calling and honestly, 1156 01:03:25,160 --> 01:03:26,120 Speaker 1: in the first time, I don't. 1157 01:03:26,000 --> 01:03:26,520 Speaker 2: Know what it was. 1158 01:03:27,320 --> 01:03:30,040 Speaker 1: It's like a complete opposite in the first one, and 1159 01:03:30,080 --> 01:03:34,160 Speaker 1: the press has covered that fairly. Actually, for change. The 1160 01:03:35,440 --> 01:03:39,640 Speaker 1: first one, they were very hostile, and maybe it was 1161 01:03:39,680 --> 01:03:41,240 Speaker 1: my fault, but I don't really think so. They were 1162 01:03:41,280 --> 01:03:44,800 Speaker 1: just very right from the beginning, and this one is 1163 01:03:44,960 --> 01:03:46,160 Speaker 1: much less hostile. 1164 01:03:46,520 --> 01:03:48,040 Speaker 2: It's really the opposite of hostile. 1165 01:03:51,120 --> 01:03:53,760 Speaker 1: That you had some him I believe in Paulman eighteen 1166 01:03:53,840 --> 01:03:57,600 Speaker 1: years ago with the students at Duke accused of raping across. 1167 01:03:57,920 --> 01:03:59,720 Speaker 1: Now we have this, Well, I thought it was I 1168 01:03:59,720 --> 01:04:03,560 Speaker 1: thought there was a hoax when it happened, the Duke situation. 1169 01:04:04,320 --> 01:04:09,480 Speaker 1: I didn't believe the woman, as you know, and you destroyed. 1170 01:04:09,680 --> 01:04:13,720 Speaker 1: They destroyed the lives of these kids. They destroyed and 1171 01:04:13,760 --> 01:04:16,120 Speaker 1: I don't care what they got. Their lives have been destroyed. 1172 01:04:16,160 --> 01:04:20,480 Speaker 1: Their lives have been shortened by what took place. And 1173 01:04:20,520 --> 01:04:25,920 Speaker 1: now the woman admitted that it never happened. That is horrible. 1174 01:04:26,040 --> 01:04:28,720 Speaker 1: And as you know, I took a lot of heat 1175 01:04:28,800 --> 01:04:32,760 Speaker 1: when I said that this is this had not happened. 1176 01:04:33,640 --> 01:04:36,880 Speaker 1: And those kids were beautiful kids with beautiful families, and 1177 01:04:36,920 --> 01:04:39,680 Speaker 1: they were in some cases will never be the same. 1178 01:04:39,720 --> 01:04:40,880 Speaker 2: They will never be the same. 1179 01:04:44,120 --> 01:04:45,280 Speaker 1: On postal service. 1180 01:04:45,680 --> 01:04:48,560 Speaker 5: You mentioned Bezos a second go, and I've always thought Bezos. 1181 01:04:48,200 --> 01:04:50,000 Speaker 1: Would be a key person to go in there. And 1182 01:04:50,040 --> 01:04:51,000 Speaker 1: really streamline the. 1183 01:04:50,960 --> 01:04:54,320 Speaker 5: Logistics of the post office, but they lose billions. 1184 01:04:54,400 --> 01:04:57,640 Speaker 1: Well, there is talk about the postal service being taken private. 1185 01:04:57,680 --> 01:05:01,160 Speaker 1: You do know that, not that we're idea I've ever heard. 1186 01:05:02,200 --> 01:05:03,880 Speaker 1: It really is, and you know it's a lot different 1187 01:05:03,880 --> 01:05:09,160 Speaker 1: today with between Amazon and ups and FedEx and all 1188 01:05:09,200 --> 01:05:12,320 Speaker 1: the things that you didn't have. But there is talk 1189 01:05:12,360 --> 01:05:14,880 Speaker 1: about that. It's an idea that a lot of people 1190 01:05:14,880 --> 01:05:16,600 Speaker 1: have liked for a long time. We're looking at it. 1191 01:05:16,720 --> 01:05:18,360 Speaker 1: I think we're looking at that along with a lot 1192 01:05:18,400 --> 01:05:22,080 Speaker 1: of any questions for Howard. By the way, commerce, you 1193 01:05:22,080 --> 01:05:22,920 Speaker 1: want to say a couple. 1194 01:05:22,720 --> 01:05:27,800 Speaker 5: Of weeks, do you see another trade deal with China? 1195 01:05:29,520 --> 01:05:34,120 Speaker 1: I think the president, Oh, it's easy for me. You're 1196 01:05:34,160 --> 01:05:37,040 Speaker 1: sitting next to me, so it's okay. Now. The President 1197 01:05:37,040 --> 01:05:42,560 Speaker 1: has very clear agenda for tars, and I think reciprocity 1198 01:05:43,000 --> 01:05:45,680 Speaker 1: is something that is going to be a key topic 1199 01:05:45,800 --> 01:05:48,200 Speaker 1: for us. How you treat us is how you should 1200 01:05:48,240 --> 01:05:52,959 Speaker 1: expect to be treated. He said it so well, reciprocal. 1201 01:05:53,760 --> 01:05:56,840 Speaker 1: If they tax us, we text them the same amount 1202 01:05:57,240 --> 01:06:00,200 Speaker 1: they tax us forgetting it. Just for a second, the 1203 01:06:00,200 --> 01:06:04,520 Speaker 1: word to they tax us, we tax them, and they 1204 01:06:04,600 --> 01:06:08,040 Speaker 1: tax us almost in all cases, they're taxing us and 1205 01:06:08,080 --> 01:06:13,040 Speaker 1: we haven't been taxing yet. Is there an inner way? 1206 01:06:15,560 --> 01:06:18,600 Speaker 1: Let's just say this. We're gonna make great deals, and 1207 01:06:18,640 --> 01:06:21,840 Speaker 1: we have all the cards and until I came along, 1208 01:06:21,880 --> 01:06:25,200 Speaker 1: don't forget. And Howard was going over the numbers with 1209 01:06:25,200 --> 01:06:29,640 Speaker 1: me last night. We took in six hundred billion dollars 1210 01:06:29,640 --> 01:06:34,040 Speaker 1: and more in taxes and tariffs from China. No other 1211 01:06:34,120 --> 01:06:37,760 Speaker 1: president took in ten cents, not ten cents, not ten cents. 1212 01:06:38,720 --> 01:06:41,840 Speaker 1: And now we're gonna be doing things. We're gonna be 1213 01:06:41,880 --> 01:06:45,840 Speaker 1: treating people very fairly. But the word reciprocal is important 1214 01:06:45,920 --> 01:06:48,560 Speaker 1: because if somebody charges us India, we don't have to 1215 01:06:48,560 --> 01:06:51,560 Speaker 1: talk about own. If India charges is one hundred percent, 1216 01:06:51,600 --> 01:06:53,800 Speaker 1: then we charge them nothing for the same. You know, 1217 01:06:53,840 --> 01:06:56,440 Speaker 1: they send in a bicycle and we send them a bicycle. 1218 01:06:56,840 --> 01:06:59,600 Speaker 1: They charge us one hundred and two hundred. India charges 1219 01:06:59,640 --> 01:07:02,480 Speaker 1: a lot, Brazil charges a lot. If they want to 1220 01:07:02,560 --> 01:07:04,280 Speaker 1: charge us, that's fine, but we're going to charge them 1221 01:07:04,320 --> 01:07:07,320 Speaker 1: the same thing. That's a big state. And you know what, 1222 01:07:08,320 --> 01:07:12,560 Speaker 1: the senators, some of them aren't necessarily business people. When 1223 01:07:12,600 --> 01:07:15,640 Speaker 1: I give that to them, they say that sounds fair 1224 01:07:15,640 --> 01:07:15,880 Speaker 1: to me. 1225 01:07:16,880 --> 01:07:19,480 Speaker 6: Are you considered that tariffs might hurt the stock market 1226 01:07:19,560 --> 01:07:21,800 Speaker 6: rise that you'd have seen the economy. 1227 01:07:21,360 --> 01:07:25,200 Speaker 1: More broadly, to make our country rich, Tariffs will make 1228 01:07:25,560 --> 01:07:30,439 Speaker 1: our country rich, properly used, going to make no well, 1229 01:07:30,480 --> 01:07:33,600 Speaker 1: I didn't have any inflation, and I had massive tariffs, 1230 01:07:33,600 --> 01:07:35,880 Speaker 1: so a lot of things. We put tariffs on steel. 1231 01:07:36,200 --> 01:07:39,000 Speaker 1: If I didn't put tariffs on steel, fifty percent and more, 1232 01:07:39,760 --> 01:07:43,160 Speaker 1: they were dumping steel in China and others. I put 1233 01:07:43,200 --> 01:07:45,560 Speaker 1: tariffs on and it stopped, and we took a fortune, 1234 01:07:45,560 --> 01:07:49,560 Speaker 1: and we made a fortune on it. Tariffs properly used, 1235 01:07:49,560 --> 01:07:54,680 Speaker 1: which we will do, and being reciprocal with other nations. 1236 01:07:55,080 --> 01:07:57,800 Speaker 1: But it'll make our country rich. Our country right now 1237 01:07:57,880 --> 01:08:01,960 Speaker 1: loses to everybody. Nobody do we have a surplus with 1238 01:08:02,120 --> 01:08:04,720 Speaker 1: There are a couple of countries and they're embarrassed by it, 1239 01:08:05,200 --> 01:08:09,480 Speaker 1: but almost nobody. And tariffs will make I always said 1240 01:08:09,480 --> 01:08:12,040 Speaker 1: to me, tariff's the most beautiful word in the dictionary. 1241 01:08:12,200 --> 01:08:14,280 Speaker 1: It'll make our country rich. You go back and look 1242 01:08:14,320 --> 01:08:17,599 Speaker 1: at the eighteen nineties, eighteen eighties, McKinley, and you take 1243 01:08:17,600 --> 01:08:19,920 Speaker 1: a look at tariff's That was when we were at 1244 01:08:19,960 --> 01:08:21,879 Speaker 1: our proportionately the richest. 1245 01:08:22,720 --> 01:08:30,000 Speaker 5: The president, the president what should as less head anything 1246 01:08:30,439 --> 01:08:31,160 Speaker 5: or evolved. 1247 01:08:31,720 --> 01:08:34,840 Speaker 1: He should be prepared to make a deal. That's all 1248 01:08:35,400 --> 01:08:37,240 Speaker 1: got to be a deal. Got to be a deal. 1249 01:08:37,680 --> 01:08:40,880 Speaker 1: Too many people being killed, that is a war. That's 1250 01:08:41,240 --> 01:08:44,240 Speaker 1: too many people. Got to make a deal. And Putin 1251 01:08:44,280 --> 01:08:46,080 Speaker 1: has to make a deal to it. By the way, 1252 01:08:46,280 --> 01:08:48,439 Speaker 1: Putin has to make a deal. And Putin would have 1253 01:08:48,560 --> 01:08:50,960 Speaker 1: never gone in if I was president. If I was president, 1254 01:08:51,160 --> 01:08:54,360 Speaker 1: we wouldn't have had inflation, Our oil prices would have 1255 01:08:54,360 --> 01:08:57,200 Speaker 1: been lower. I had a good relationship with Putin. He 1256 01:08:57,200 --> 01:09:00,400 Speaker 1: would have despite the Russia hoax, which made it more difficult. 1257 01:09:01,320 --> 01:09:07,360 Speaker 1: If we had that election, if it were an honorable election, 1258 01:09:08,080 --> 01:09:09,920 Speaker 1: we wouldn't have had any of the problems that we're 1259 01:09:09,920 --> 01:09:16,000 Speaker 1: talking about right now. Would have never gone in. You 1260 01:09:16,040 --> 01:09:18,160 Speaker 1: said that you have that deal before you take office. 1261 01:09:18,200 --> 01:09:20,120 Speaker 1: You still think you can make that deal, a model 1262 01:09:21,560 --> 01:09:28,280 Speaker 1: trot you give all thought. Well, I hadn't thought of it. 1263 01:09:29,600 --> 01:09:31,240 Speaker 1: I think we have to get on with our lives. 1264 01:09:31,400 --> 01:09:35,280 Speaker 1: We'll have to see what happens. But right now, Syria 1265 01:09:35,360 --> 01:09:38,200 Speaker 1: has a lot of you know, there's a lot of indefinites. 1266 01:09:38,240 --> 01:09:40,559 Speaker 1: Nobody knows what's going to happen with Syria. But I 1267 01:09:40,560 --> 01:09:43,320 Speaker 1: think Turkey is going to hold the key to Syria. Actually, 1268 01:09:43,640 --> 01:09:45,560 Speaker 1: I don't think you've heard that from anybody else, but 1269 01:09:45,600 --> 01:09:47,800 Speaker 1: I've been pretty good at predicting. I want to thank 1270 01:09:47,840 --> 01:09:51,240 Speaker 1: you all, and we're going to make America great again. 1271 01:09:51,280 --> 01:09:53,280 Speaker 2: Thank you very much, thank you, thank you very much. 1272 01:09:53,320 --> 01:09:53,439 Speaker 1: El
