President Trump had met 9 00:00:37,640 --> 00:00:41,320 Speaker 1: with Japanese Prime Minister Is Shiba just a few minutes ago. 10 00:00:41,479 --> 00:00:46,920 Speaker 1: We are now waiting for this press conference to begin. 11 00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:50,800 Speaker 1: We've got Brian Glenn there live at the White House. Brian, 12 00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:54,760 Speaker 1: tell us, tell us what you expect to when we 13 00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:57,040 Speaker 1: went to see this come forward and here you're seeing 14 00:00:57,040 --> 00:00:58,080 Speaker 1: come into the room so far. 15 00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:01,560 Speaker 4: Yeah, Jack, we are in the East room here at 16 00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:05,959 Speaker 4: the Lighthouse. Got Doug Bourbanu had made his interest here 17 00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:09,119 Speaker 4: a little earlier. We are still waiting for obviously Dousland 18 00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:12,480 Speaker 4: Trump in the Prime Minister of Japan to be here now. 19 00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:14,160 Speaker 3: Just kind of. 20 00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:17,440 Speaker 4: Looking at what they're talking about is obviously this is 21 00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:20,680 Speaker 4: a huge sixty eight I believe the fifty years a 22 00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:24,920 Speaker 4: new million dollars trade of deficits that we have with Japan, 23 00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:30,039 Speaker 4: and President Trump has has not taken off the care 24 00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:35,240 Speaker 4: off off the table for Japan, so he's obviously that 25 00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:36,319 Speaker 4: and of course, you know. 26 00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:38,280 Speaker 5: If you look at who has been here in the 27 00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:43,880 Speaker 5: last week, he's got Promncaire mentioned the Naku obviously this year, 28 00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:46,720 Speaker 5: and the guys of course now as the Prime Minister 29 00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:50,920 Speaker 5: of Japans and also you're looking on on the state side, 30 00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:55,120 Speaker 5: we've got Governor Grand Habit tuck Is Gavinee from the 31 00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:58,280 Speaker 5: California said, Jack, this has been kind of a conveyor belt, 32 00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:01,880 Speaker 5: if you will. Of everyone's just trying to just. 33 00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:04,160 Speaker 6: Try to, you know, get in their position, get in 34 00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:08,359 Speaker 6: front of the president, and I guess solidify any kind 35 00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:12,840 Speaker 6: of future either trade deals or even any kind of 36 00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:16,239 Speaker 6: diplomacy deals that they might have in place. But obviously 37 00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:19,280 Speaker 6: a very different White House, Jack, than what we saw 38 00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:20,440 Speaker 6: the administration before. 39 00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:25,120 Speaker 1: No, it's exactly right. And of course with the Prime 40 00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:27,320 Speaker 1: Minister of Japan meeting there, I'm sure there's going to 41 00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:30,000 Speaker 1: be a lot of discussion about China. There's going to 42 00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:32,359 Speaker 1: be discussions about the South China Sea, there's going to 43 00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:35,919 Speaker 1: be discussions about Taiwan. Of course, Japan one of our 44 00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:40,080 Speaker 1: largest defense partners in that part of the world, in 45 00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:43,560 Speaker 1: the Pacific Rim. Then of course looking at China, are 46 00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:46,400 Speaker 1: looking at Japan. I should say, the trade relationship also 47 00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:50,200 Speaker 1: a huge situation. Tariffs, by the way, not off the 48 00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:53,440 Speaker 1: table with Japan as well. Of course, we saw President 49 00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:57,400 Speaker 1: Trump having that meeting with Brudeaux and then slapping tariffs on, 50 00:02:57,400 --> 00:02:59,920 Speaker 1: only to take them off at the very at the 51 00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:04,000 Speaker 1: very the very next day after he he was able 52 00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:06,840 Speaker 1: to break down, and so I think that I'm sure 53 00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:10,440 Speaker 1: the economic imbalance has been a huge piece of this 54 00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:14,959 Speaker 1: as well. I remember US deal was at one point 55 00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:20,080 Speaker 1: about to be purchased by Japan and President Trump blocked 56 00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:22,359 Speaker 1: that resoundingly. So I'm sure we're going to see a 57 00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:27,360 Speaker 1: lot of defense talk, a lot of economic talk as well. 58 00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:31,320 Speaker 6: Yeah, we remember Jack, we had the CEO of Soft 59 00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:35,200 Speaker 6: Bank at mar A Lago last month I believe it 60 00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:39,000 Speaker 6: was on December actually talking about this investment in the 61 00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:42,240 Speaker 6: US economy, and then we later saw him at another 62 00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:45,880 Speaker 6: press conference about three weeks later and had even increased 63 00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:51,280 Speaker 6: that commitment to US business. So, you know, the President 64 00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:53,160 Speaker 6: Trump coming from a you know, a kind of a 65 00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:57,400 Speaker 6: business economic mindset very different what we had under President Biden, 66 00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:05,080 Speaker 6: Trump very well geared towards shifting that trade deficit and 67 00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:08,080 Speaker 6: really kind of getting it more of a pro America, 68 00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:11,720 Speaker 6: pro business approach. And I think by having these world 69 00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:15,880 Speaker 6: leaders in here, you're showing leadership, you're showing respect. The 70 00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:21,440 Speaker 6: pageantry that I saw with the Prime Minister Benjamin Yahoo 71 00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:25,760 Speaker 6: coming in was unimaginable. It was incredible. The respect that 72 00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:29,880 Speaker 6: the White House showed him is incredible is something that 73 00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:33,640 Speaker 6: people have telling me before they never saw that under 74 00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:36,599 Speaker 6: the Biden administration. So just the fact that these world 75 00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:40,200 Speaker 6: leaders are coming to the White House having these meetings 76 00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:43,239 Speaker 6: says a lot about their faith in President Trump. 77 00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:46,239 Speaker 1: Exactly right. We're going to break head to a quick 78 00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:50,159 Speaker 1: break right now, Brian Glenn.

So what does James comer do pretty immediately 149 00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:48,800 Speaker 9: move forward with the Russian hoax? So a lot of 150 00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:52,640 Speaker 9: the energy spent was basically pushing back on the fake news, 151 00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:55,240 Speaker 9: pushing back on the FBI when it came to the 152 00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:58,240 Speaker 9: Russian hoax. On top of that, he still managed to 153 00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:01,800 Speaker 9: accomplish so much during his first term by building an 154 00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:06,800 Speaker 9: incredibly strong economy and obviously building a strong presence on 155 00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:08,600 Speaker 9: the international stage for. 156 00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:09,640 Speaker 3: The United States. 157 00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:14,000 Speaker 9: Now, with that being said, this time around, President Trump knows, 158 00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:15,679 Speaker 9: he knows the pitfalls, he. 159 00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:17,280 Speaker 3: Knows what has to get done. 160 00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:19,800 Speaker 9: That's why you've seen a team that was ready to 161 00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:23,120 Speaker 9: go day one in the sense of making. 162 00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:24,920 Speaker 3: Sure that these executive orders would. 163 00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:28,240 Speaker 9: Be signed, moving forward on the priorities that the President 164 00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:30,960 Speaker 9: has put forth, which is that of ensuring that the 165 00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:34,160 Speaker 9: border would be secure, in addition to the fact on 166 00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:36,920 Speaker 9: moving on these anti woke issues that I think have 167 00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:40,160 Speaker 9: been so relevant in this election, whether it be I 168 00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:43,160 Speaker 9: don't know, just simply agreeing Jack that there's two genders, 169 00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:47,160 Speaker 9: or protecting girls and women's sports. And so you've seen 170 00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:51,400 Speaker 9: the President act in an incredibly focused way. He understands 171 00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:54,319 Speaker 9: that his political capital right now is the greatest that 172 00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:57,679 Speaker 9: he'll see during this term going in. And I think 173 00:09:57,760 --> 00:10:00,600 Speaker 9: his approach of the shock and all has been very 174 00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:03,800 Speaker 9: effective that not even the media has been able to 175 00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:07,000 Speaker 9: catch up with everything that President Trump has been able 176 00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:08,840 Speaker 9: to accomplish in just a few weeks. 177 00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:13,880 Speaker 1: And it's incredible. Also, I mean, we've got to talk 178 00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:18,520 Speaker 1: about this USAID, this massive scandal where of course, now 179 00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:21,280 Speaker 1: by the way, Samantha Power has this huge op ed 180 00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:24,720 Speaker 1: out in the New York Times saying this is going 181 00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:27,480 Speaker 1: to let the autocrats around the world win. Well, I 182 00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:30,839 Speaker 1: remember who she was labeling autocrats when she was over 183 00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:34,520 Speaker 1: there with her buddy in Victoria, Nowland. It was victor Orbon. 184 00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:37,920 Speaker 1: It was Law and Justice in Poland. She was going 185 00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:41,760 Speaker 1: all around Europe. It was the Romanians, the Romanian Conservatives, 186 00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:46,000 Speaker 1: any conservative group in Europe. The day in Germany, she 187 00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:51,680 Speaker 1: was labeling them all autocrats and basically using US dollars 188 00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:55,040 Speaker 1: to go after them. Is USAID really the head of 189 00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:55,480 Speaker 1: the snake. 190 00:10:56,360 --> 00:10:58,720 Speaker 9: I mean, it definitely is a big part of the 191 00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:01,679 Speaker 9: of the snake. I think that there's other government agencies 192 00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:06,040 Speaker 9: as well that are incorporated in this pushing of a leftist, 193 00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:10,880 Speaker 9: woke propaganda machine that USAID has definitely helped to fund. 194 00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:13,760 Speaker 9: I mean, we were talking earlier about over six thousand 195 00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:17,640 Speaker 9: journalists who have been funded by USAID. Who are these journalists, 196 00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:20,959 Speaker 9: what are their backgrounds. We know that they have invested 197 00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:23,800 Speaker 9: money in these media outlets, many of them to take 198 00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:28,160 Speaker 9: on some of President Trump's allies or conservative leaders. And 199 00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:32,520 Speaker 9: then of course this craziness they're obsession with anything that's 200 00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:37,400 Speaker 9: transgender or anything that's LGBTQ, where they're spending money in 201 00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:42,240 Speaker 9: conservative countries like Guatemala, like Columbia. You know, we've talked 202 00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:44,559 Speaker 9: about the fact that they are just spending this money, 203 00:11:44,559 --> 00:11:47,319 Speaker 9: whether it be to come up with a transgender opera, 204 00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:51,120 Speaker 9: you know, a comic book that has to deal with transgenderism. 205 00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:55,920 Speaker 9: I mean, it is so completely disturbing to watch that 206 00:11:55,960 --> 00:12:00,360 Speaker 9: the taxpayer dollars would be misused by this previousministration. 207 00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:03,239 Speaker 3: And let's remember, from the time of the first Trump. 208 00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:06,760 Speaker 9: Administration till now, we have seen the budget for the 209 00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:12,200 Speaker 9: USAID double and these bureaucrats that were in there also 210 00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:16,520 Speaker 9: being part of pushing this type of propaganda machine, especially 211 00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:20,160 Speaker 9: when it comes to the money that was spent for 212 00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:23,880 Speaker 9: these journalists, for these media outlets, What exactly were they 213 00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:27,640 Speaker 9: pushing And that's why this transparency, the work that's being 214 00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:28,800 Speaker 9: done by Joje is. 215 00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:30,679 Speaker 3: So critical to get. 216 00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:34,280 Speaker 9: Down to the bottom of what USAID was doing was 217 00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:38,040 Speaker 9: funding and how you're able to basically take it down. 218 00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:38,760 Speaker 3: And one of. 219 00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:43,480 Speaker 9: The stories I heard with someone who had gotten work 220 00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:46,440 Speaker 9: for USAID and they said, you know where the money goes. 221 00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:49,720 Speaker 9: It goes to foreign contractors. It doesn't even go directly 222 00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:52,880 Speaker 9: to the people they feed it to. The foreign contractors, 223 00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:55,280 Speaker 9: they take of the cut of the money and then 224 00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:56,400 Speaker 9: let's see if it ends. 225 00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:58,400 Speaker 3: Up in the hands of the people in need. 226 00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:01,200 Speaker 9: And that is something that obvious there should be a 227 00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:02,400 Speaker 9: shift in this right now. 228 00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:07,400 Speaker 1: All right, Mercedes, you're the host of Seapac Now.

We're 370 00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:52,240 Speaker 10: talking about a joint venture of some type between Japan 371 00:21:52,320 --> 00:21:55,680 Speaker 10: and US having to do with Alaska oil and gas, 372 00:21:55,800 --> 00:21:58,399 Speaker 10: and that's very exciting. They're very excited about it. So 373 00:21:58,640 --> 00:22:02,000 Speaker 10: we as we do in our economic relationship. I made 374 00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:04,760 Speaker 10: clear that the United States will be conducting trade with 375 00:22:04,880 --> 00:22:08,880 Speaker 10: all countries based on the principle of fairness and reciprocity. 376 00:22:10,040 --> 00:22:15,840 Speaker 10: Chronic trade deficits not only undermine our economy, they really do, 377 00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:18,080 Speaker 10: and we're going to get rid of the trade. We 378 00:22:18,160 --> 00:22:20,840 Speaker 10: have a trade deficit with Japan of over one hundred 379 00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:22,800 Speaker 10: billion dollars. But we're going to work that out and 380 00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:25,800 Speaker 10: I think very quickly. Frankly, we can do it. Just 381 00:22:25,880 --> 00:22:27,920 Speaker 10: to an oil and gas we can work it out. 382 00:22:28,040 --> 00:22:30,960 Speaker 10: So we intend to do it very quickly. We both 383 00:22:31,080 --> 00:22:35,280 Speaker 10: understand that. And as America welcomes new foreign investment, we 384 00:22:35,440 --> 00:22:38,840 Speaker 10: also want to ensure that companies build their products and 385 00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:43,080 Speaker 10: factories here in America, not simply by the assets that 386 00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:47,800 Speaker 10: we have. And Japan is going to be opening up 387 00:22:47,960 --> 00:22:50,680 Speaker 10: auto plants do auto plants are being built currently as 388 00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:52,800 Speaker 10: we as we speak, they've just been started. 389 00:22:53,720 --> 00:22:54,640 Speaker 8: Toyota is one. 390 00:22:54,800 --> 00:22:59,200 Speaker 10: And Nissan's going to be doing something very exciting about 391 00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:03,200 Speaker 10: about US Steel. They'll be looking at an investment rather 392 00:23:03,320 --> 00:23:05,879 Speaker 10: than a purchase. Like the idea of US Steel is 393 00:23:05,920 --> 00:23:09,919 Speaker 10: a very important company to us. It was the greatest 394 00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:12,600 Speaker 10: company in the world for fifteen years, many years ago, 395 00:23:12,680 --> 00:23:16,880 Speaker 10: eighty years ago, and we didn't want to see that leave, 396 00:23:18,160 --> 00:23:22,320 Speaker 10: and it wouldn't actually leave, but the concept psychologically not good. 397 00:23:23,080 --> 00:23:27,280 Speaker 10: So they've agreed to invest heavily in US Steel as 398 00:23:27,320 --> 00:23:30,359 Speaker 10: opposed to own it, and that sounds very exciting. And 399 00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:33,560 Speaker 10: we're going to meet with Nissan next week. The head 400 00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:37,680 Speaker 10: of Nissan, very great company, and details I'll help. I'll 401 00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:41,920 Speaker 10: be there to mediate and arbitrate.

I really believe that he's going to 407 00:23:57,520 --> 00:24:00,680 Speaker 10: be a great one.

I mean, 516 00:32:17,200 --> 00:32:19,080 Speaker 10: we don't have very good security in our country and 517 00:32:19,120 --> 00:32:21,480 Speaker 10: they get it very easily. And what we're doing if 518 00:32:21,520 --> 00:32:25,640 Speaker 10: you look at what has just taken place with respect 519 00:32:25,720 --> 00:32:28,280 Speaker 10: to some of the investments that have been made on 520 00:32:28,680 --> 00:32:31,440 Speaker 10: another agency that people have been talking about for years 521 00:32:31,480 --> 00:32:37,040 Speaker 10: but nobody did anything about it. It's absolutely obscene, dangerous, bad, 522 00:32:38,360 --> 00:32:42,360 Speaker 10: very costly. I mean, virtually every investment made is a conjob. 523 00:32:43,480 --> 00:32:48,400 Speaker 10: There's nothing of value to everybody unless there's a kickback 524 00:32:48,480 --> 00:32:50,200 Speaker 10: scheme going on, which is possible. 525 00:32:50,920 --> 00:32:52,560 Speaker 8: And we're going to be doing more and more of that. 526 00:32:52,680 --> 00:32:53,120 Speaker 8: We're going to be. 527 00:32:53,160 --> 00:32:55,520 Speaker 10: Looking at Department of Education, We're going to be looking 528 00:32:55,560 --> 00:32:57,960 Speaker 10: at even our military. We're going to be looking at 529 00:32:58,040 --> 00:33:02,080 Speaker 10: tremendous amounts of money Peter being spent on things that 530 00:33:02,600 --> 00:33:06,240 Speaker 10: bear no relationship to anything, that have no value. We're 531 00:33:06,280 --> 00:33:09,040 Speaker 10: talking about trillions of dollars. It will be in the 532 00:33:09,200 --> 00:33:14,080 Speaker 10: end trillions of dollars being absolutely wasted, and perhaps illegally, 533 00:33:14,120 --> 00:33:17,240 Speaker 10: I would say certainly in many cases illegally, but perhaps 534 00:33:17,360 --> 00:33:21,360 Speaker 10: illegally overall. And I'm very proud of the job that 535 00:33:21,480 --> 00:33:24,800 Speaker 10: this group of young people, generally young people, but very 536 00:33:24,840 --> 00:33:28,600 Speaker 10: smart people they're doing. They're doing it at my insistence. 537 00:33:28,640 --> 00:33:30,200 Speaker 10: It would be a lot easier not to do it. 538 00:33:30,840 --> 00:33:33,720 Speaker 10: But we have to take some of these things apart 539 00:33:33,800 --> 00:33:39,080 Speaker 10: to find the corruption. We found tremendous corruption, these od. 540 00:33:39,040 --> 00:33:43,000 Speaker 14: Democratic long akers trying to get in the department at 541 00:33:43,080 --> 00:33:44,040 Speaker 14: earlier day. 542 00:33:44,560 --> 00:33:47,120 Speaker 10: Oh, I see the same ones. I see Maxine Waters, 543 00:33:47,120 --> 00:33:49,200 Speaker 10: A low life. I see you know, all these people, 544 00:33:49,280 --> 00:33:52,040 Speaker 10: they don't love our country. They don't love our country. 545 00:33:52,400 --> 00:33:56,240 Speaker 10: We want great education. So they rank forty countries in education. 546 00:33:57,040 --> 00:34:01,240 Speaker 10: We're ranked dead last, dead last. But the good news 547 00:34:01,400 --> 00:34:03,360 Speaker 10: is we're number one in one category. You know what 548 00:34:03,480 --> 00:34:07,400 Speaker 10: that is cost per pupil. We spend more per pupil 549 00:34:07,680 --> 00:34:09,799 Speaker 10: than any other country in the world. 550 00:34:09,880 --> 00:34:10,439 Speaker 8: You look at. 551 00:34:10,800 --> 00:34:15,320 Speaker 10: Norway, Denmark, Sweden, various countries all up and down. Finland, 552 00:34:15,840 --> 00:34:18,759 Speaker 10: China does very well in education, and then you look 553 00:34:18,800 --> 00:34:20,719 Speaker 10: at us. We spend much more money than they do 554 00:34:20,880 --> 00:34:24,440 Speaker 10: per pupil or any other way. But we spend much 555 00:34:24,480 --> 00:34:26,880 Speaker 10: more money than they do, and yet we're ranked this 556 00:34:27,360 --> 00:34:32,840 Speaker 10: year Biden's last year. Congratulations show we're ranked dead last. 557 00:34:33,640 --> 00:34:36,160 Speaker 10: So what I want to see is education number one. 558 00:34:36,200 --> 00:34:39,520 Speaker 10: I like choice, we all like choice, but beyond choice, 559 00:34:39,600 --> 00:34:41,440 Speaker 10: long beyond choice. I want to see you go back 560 00:34:41,480 --> 00:34:44,560 Speaker 10: to the states where great states that do so well, 561 00:34:44,719 --> 00:34:48,080 Speaker 10: have no debt, they're operated brilliantly. They'll be as good 562 00:34:48,120 --> 00:34:50,680 Speaker 10: as Norway or Denmark or Sweden or any of the 563 00:34:50,760 --> 00:34:54,080 Speaker 10: other highly ranked countries. They'll be You probably have thirty 564 00:34:54,120 --> 00:34:56,360 Speaker 10: I figured thirty five to thirty eight states will be 565 00:34:56,480 --> 00:34:56,920 Speaker 10: right at the. 566 00:34:56,960 --> 00:34:59,560 Speaker 8: Top, and the rest will come along. They'll have to 567 00:34:59,600 --> 00:35:02,400 Speaker 8: come along competitively. And by the way, we'll be spending 568 00:35:02,440 --> 00:35:05,200 Speaker 8: a lot less money and we'll have great education. 569 00:35:06,840 --> 00:35:10,400 Speaker 14: Cutting effort. One of the those engineers who's fired for 570 00:35:10,560 --> 00:35:14,759 Speaker 14: some inappropriate posts, the Vice president says, bring him back. 571 00:35:15,320 --> 00:35:17,200 Speaker 10: What do you say, Well, I don't know about the 572 00:35:17,280 --> 00:35:20,040 Speaker 10: particular thing, but if the vice president said that, did 573 00:35:20,120 --> 00:35:22,120 Speaker 10: you say that, I'm with the vice president? 574 00:35:22,880 --> 00:35:28,000 Speaker 8: Thank you, Peter, Yeah, I go ahead, please yes, red dress. 575 00:35:29,560 --> 00:35:32,919 Speaker 3: President Song. 576 00:35:33,080 --> 00:35:36,600 Speaker 13: Do you want Japan's military to be and do you 577 00:35:36,719 --> 00:35:41,480 Speaker 13: specifically hope that their increased military spending will deter China 578 00:35:41,920 --> 00:35:42,640 Speaker 13: and North Korea? 579 00:35:42,760 --> 00:35:43,759 Speaker 3: What did you talk about that? 580 00:35:44,719 --> 00:35:47,080 Speaker 8: Well, I want our military to be the strongest. 581 00:35:47,160 --> 00:35:50,800 Speaker 10: I also don't mind spending so much money on the 582 00:35:50,800 --> 00:35:53,000 Speaker 10: military because we build it here. It's made in the USA, 583 00:35:53,080 --> 00:35:55,759 Speaker 10: all made in the USA. We have you know, I 584 00:35:56,080 --> 00:35:59,320 Speaker 10: rebuilt our military during my first term. 585 00:35:59,880 --> 00:36:01,960 Speaker 8: A great job. We left some of it behind in 586 00:36:02,040 --> 00:36:04,279 Speaker 8: Afghanistan stupidly. There was no reason for that. 587 00:36:04,480 --> 00:36:06,920 Speaker 10: But it was still as much as it was. It 588 00:36:07,040 --> 00:36:09,200 Speaker 10: was billions and billions of dollars, but it was a 589 00:36:09,280 --> 00:36:11,719 Speaker 10: small part of it. But we're going to have the 590 00:36:11,760 --> 00:36:13,160 Speaker 10: strongest military by far. 591 00:36:14,200 --> 00:36:15,080 Speaker 8: We have great people. 592 00:36:15,160 --> 00:36:18,680 Speaker 10: I want to congratulate Pete Hegseth for having gone through 593 00:36:18,719 --> 00:36:21,440 Speaker 10: the gauntlet.

I wish he wasn't so strong. 620 00:37:39,880 --> 00:37:41,440 Speaker 10: I wish he was a little bit weaker than that, 621 00:37:41,560 --> 00:37:43,880 Speaker 10: but that's what I got. I have to get strong 622 00:37:43,960 --> 00:37:45,919 Speaker 10: guys all the time. He's going to be a great 623 00:37:46,239 --> 00:37:50,440 Speaker 10: prime minister. I also in terms of tariffs, I mean 624 00:37:50,520 --> 00:37:54,560 Speaker 10: we're going to have tariffs, mostly reciprocal tariffs where we 625 00:37:54,719 --> 00:37:56,960 Speaker 10: go with and I'm going to be probably meeting on 626 00:37:57,080 --> 00:38:01,120 Speaker 10: that Monday or Tuesday, have an announcement, probably a news conference, 627 00:38:01,560 --> 00:38:06,279 Speaker 10: but probably reciprocal tariffs where a country pays so much 628 00:38:06,440 --> 00:38:09,040 Speaker 10: or charges us so much and we do the same. 629 00:38:09,160 --> 00:38:12,120 Speaker 10: So very reciprocal, because I think that's the only fair 630 00:38:12,200 --> 00:38:14,440 Speaker 10: way to do it. That way, nobody's hurt. 631 00:38:15,120 --> 00:38:15,279 Speaker 18: Uh. 632 00:38:15,960 --> 00:38:18,600 Speaker 8: They charge us, we charge them. It's the same thing. 633 00:38:19,120 --> 00:38:21,400 Speaker 10: And I seem to be going in that line as 634 00:38:21,480 --> 00:38:29,480 Speaker 10: opposed to a flat fee tariff. Okay, yes, go please, 635 00:38:30,080 --> 00:38:31,880 Speaker 10: please go ahead. Why don't you go ahead? 636 00:38:38,480 --> 00:38:42,600 Speaker 12: This is ata from Yamirishimbun newspaper.

Was so excited to see 654 00:39:49,239 --> 00:39:54,120 Speaker 12: such a celebrity on television, to see in person on 655 00:39:54,320 --> 00:40:00,560 Speaker 12: television he is frightening and that he had as the 656 00:40:00,719 --> 00:40:06,520 Speaker 12: very strong personality.

As for the whole world. 659 00:40:19,120 --> 00:40:25,239 Speaker 12: I was able to feel that this is not the 660 00:40:25,400 --> 00:40:30,359 Speaker 12: sort of polishing or trying to suck up to him. 661 00:40:31,200 --> 00:40:34,319 Speaker 12: For the world to peace and for the reasonal stability 662 00:40:34,840 --> 00:40:38,680 Speaker 12: that both of our countries the need to play our 663 00:40:38,840 --> 00:40:43,920 Speaker 12: role and make our endeavors and responsibility. As for the 664 00:40:44,080 --> 00:40:48,400 Speaker 12: increase of our defense expenditures, it is not that we 665 00:40:48,520 --> 00:40:51,440 Speaker 12: are told by the United States to do so. Japan 666 00:40:51,760 --> 00:40:57,080 Speaker 12: on our own, on our own decision, on our own responsibility. 667 00:40:57,320 --> 00:41:01,279 Speaker 12: We need to increase our defense expenditures. But of course 668 00:41:01,360 --> 00:41:04,520 Speaker 12: we need to communicate and consult with the United States. 669 00:41:05,200 --> 00:41:08,880 Speaker 12: But the responsibility is with Japan, and the decision is 670 00:41:09,040 --> 00:41:16,640 Speaker 12: with Japan. Now on the tariffs that if it is 671 00:41:16,920 --> 00:41:24,360 Speaker 12: mutually beneficial, tariffs need to be set. And as for Japan, 672 00:41:24,640 --> 00:41:31,440 Speaker 12: as mister President has introduced to US, an unprecedented investment 673 00:41:31,560 --> 00:41:34,160 Speaker 12: will be made from Japan to the United States and 674 00:41:34,320 --> 00:41:38,960 Speaker 12: so many jobs will be created. So one trillion dollars 675 00:41:39,239 --> 00:41:40,279 Speaker 12: is the target. 676 00:41:42,640 --> 00:41:45,600 Speaker 1: And we'll be right back with more, President Trump and 677 00:41:45,719 --> 00:41:48,720 Speaker 1: the Japanese Prime Minister your life from. 678 00:41:48,560 --> 00:41:53,400 Speaker 12: The way now, investment is mutually beneficial, so be it 679 00:41:53,640 --> 00:41:57,640 Speaker 12: with the US steel as mister President says, it is 680 00:41:57,800 --> 00:42:04,120 Speaker 12: not acquisition. It is investment meant so the Japanese technology 681 00:42:05,040 --> 00:42:09,400 Speaker 12: will be provided and the better quality products will be 682 00:42:10,760 --> 00:42:15,279 Speaker 12: manufactured in the United States, and the US steel will 683 00:42:15,360 --> 00:42:18,480 Speaker 12: make products which will contribute not only to the United 684 00:42:18,520 --> 00:42:21,520 Speaker 12: States and Japan, but also to the whole world. It 685 00:42:21,719 --> 00:42:25,799 Speaker 12: is not one sided. It will be reciprocal, it will 686 00:42:25,840 --> 00:42:29,279 Speaker 12: be mutually beneficial. And I believe we were able to 687 00:42:29,440 --> 00:42:33,520 Speaker 12: share on this and that is the biggest result that 688 00:42:33,840 --> 00:42:34,880 Speaker 12: I have seen today. 689 00:42:37,120 --> 00:42:44,960 Speaker 8: Thank you very much, Go ahead, please, Yeah, I wanted 690 00:42:44,960 --> 00:42:46,279 Speaker 8: to ask you about that US. 691 00:42:47,280 --> 00:42:49,719 Speaker 15: So you're saying that is this a is this a 692 00:42:49,840 --> 00:42:52,239 Speaker 15: restructuring of the deal that's happening, and then will you. 693 00:42:52,320 --> 00:42:56,440 Speaker 10: Approve you're doing it as an investment no longer purchase. Okay, 694 00:42:56,760 --> 00:43:00,160 Speaker 10: I didn't want it purchased, but investment I love. And 695 00:43:00,200 --> 00:43:02,799 Speaker 10: they're going to do a big investment subject to getting 696 00:43:02,880 --> 00:43:05,319 Speaker 10: the deal done, and they'll be doing a big rief. 697 00:43:06,200 --> 00:43:08,360 Speaker 10: I'm okay with that, sure, the Prime. 698 00:43:08,239 --> 00:43:11,279 Speaker 15: Minister, what was your argument to the President related to 699 00:43:11,400 --> 00:43:14,279 Speaker 15: US deal? And one more on tariff's Mister President, if 700 00:43:14,280 --> 00:43:18,120 Speaker 15: I could, you said on tariffs that you'd like them 701 00:43:18,200 --> 00:43:21,000 Speaker 15: to be reciproble back and forth. What was the reception 702 00:43:21,160 --> 00:43:24,200 Speaker 15: from the Japanese Prime minister when you said that or 703 00:43:24,239 --> 00:43:24,640 Speaker 15: when you're. 704 00:43:24,520 --> 00:43:26,480 Speaker 8: Talking, well, we didn't discuss SARFFS so much. 705 00:43:26,560 --> 00:43:30,240 Speaker 10: We really discussed many other things, including the pipeline in Alaska, 706 00:43:30,320 --> 00:43:31,919 Speaker 10: which I think is going to be maybe the most 707 00:43:31,960 --> 00:43:32,600 Speaker 10: exciting thing. 708 00:43:32,680 --> 00:43:37,600 Speaker 8: With Doug Chris, we discussed that at length. The pipeline. 709 00:43:37,680 --> 00:43:39,719 Speaker 10: I mean, it seemed to be of great interest to them. 710 00:43:40,400 --> 00:43:45,600 Speaker 10: It's we have potentially more oil and gas than in 711 00:43:45,719 --> 00:43:46,440 Speaker 10: Saudi Arabia. 712 00:43:46,600 --> 00:43:47,240 Speaker 8: Just to Alaska. 713 00:43:47,360 --> 00:43:49,560 Speaker 10: We have the most of any country in the world. 714 00:43:49,600 --> 00:43:51,440 Speaker 10: It's a big asset for the United States, but we 715 00:43:51,520 --> 00:43:54,120 Speaker 10: haven't used it. We go to Venezuela, we go to 716 00:43:54,160 --> 00:43:56,279 Speaker 10: other places to take oil and gas, and we have 717 00:43:57,400 --> 00:44:00,719 Speaker 10: more than anybody. It's an amazing phenomenon took place over 718 00:44:00,760 --> 00:44:03,640 Speaker 10: the last four years. Nobody understands that, including the people 719 00:44:03,760 --> 00:44:06,160 Speaker 10: that were in charge of it. They had no clue 720 00:44:06,200 --> 00:44:08,960 Speaker 10: what they were doing, so it was a big problem. 721 00:44:09,239 --> 00:44:12,520 Speaker 10: They were surprised actually too. They were saying, why why 722 00:44:12,640 --> 00:44:16,600 Speaker 10: didn't they They wouldn't sell them LNG, They wouldn't sell 723 00:44:16,800 --> 00:44:20,120 Speaker 10: Japan wanted to buy LNG, and Biden wouldn't sell it. 724 00:44:20,920 --> 00:44:23,200 Speaker 10: And I'm trying to figure that one out. Maybe it 725 00:44:23,320 --> 00:44:28,160 Speaker 10: was the environment. You might answer that question. She's curious 726 00:44:28,160 --> 00:44:35,080 Speaker 10: about that himself. I think, thank you very much. If 727 00:44:35,160 --> 00:44:38,080 Speaker 10: you want to answer that. You may about l G. 728 00:44:38,239 --> 00:44:40,440 Speaker 10: That the United States wouldn't sell you LNG. 729 00:44:48,640 --> 00:44:53,759 Speaker 13: That was a really unfortunate thing. But the current administration, 730 00:44:55,000 --> 00:44:58,960 Speaker 13: I'm sorry the previous administration was not allowing the LNG 731 00:44:59,200 --> 00:45:02,600 Speaker 13: to be supported to US. I believe that President Trump, 732 00:45:02,719 --> 00:45:07,160 Speaker 13: on the day of his inauguration allowed us to resume 733 00:45:07,880 --> 00:45:10,600 Speaker 13: this importing. I think this is something that is really 734 00:45:11,320 --> 00:45:16,520 Speaker 13: wonderful for US. And as the country of Japan, we 735 00:45:16,640 --> 00:45:21,000 Speaker 13: are interested in importing not just LERG, but also bioethanol, 736 00:45:21,640 --> 00:45:26,400 Speaker 13: ammonia and other reasonable other resources at a stable price, 737 00:45:26,480 --> 00:45:31,880 Speaker 13: a reasonable price from the United States, and we also 738 00:45:32,320 --> 00:45:36,160 Speaker 13: want to improve the trade deficit that the US has 739 00:45:36,440 --> 00:45:41,120 Speaker 13: towards Japan. So if we are able to buy those 740 00:45:41,239 --> 00:45:43,919 Speaker 13: at a stable and reasonable price, I think it would 741 00:45:43,960 --> 00:45:47,920 Speaker 13: be a wonderful situation. And for that, I am very 742 00:45:48,000 --> 00:45:54,680 Speaker 13: appreciative to President Trump, and we also look forward to 743 00:45:55,160 --> 00:45:57,280 Speaker 13: LNG and hope that it's a success. 744 00:45:58,760 --> 00:46:01,040 Speaker 10: I want to just say that or the ethanol, I 745 00:46:01,160 --> 00:46:04,120 Speaker 10: always going to be very happy. All of the Nebraska, 746 00:46:04,200 --> 00:46:06,160 Speaker 10: all of our farm States are going to be very happy. 747 00:46:06,239 --> 00:46:09,200 Speaker 10: They want ethanol and we'll be able to provide it 748 00:46:09,280 --> 00:46:12,160 Speaker 10: to our farmers who I like and they like me. 749 00:46:12,760 --> 00:46:15,239 Speaker 10: I think they're going to be very very happy. We've 750 00:46:15,320 --> 00:46:18,920 Speaker 10: opened the sale of L and G immediately. Actually we 751 00:46:19,040 --> 00:46:22,360 Speaker 10: did it a few days ago, and right now not 752 00:46:22,520 --> 00:46:23,520 Speaker 10: only we. 753 00:46:23,560 --> 00:46:26,800 Speaker 1: Are back with President Trump and the Prime Minister of 754 00:46:26,920 --> 00:46:27,920 Speaker 1: Japan live of the way. 755 00:46:28,040 --> 00:46:30,759 Speaker 10: In particular, we're very happy that they're going to start 756 00:46:30,800 --> 00:46:33,759 Speaker 10: immediately and we can supply it to the world, but 757 00:46:33,840 --> 00:46:36,920 Speaker 10: we're supplying it to Japan and they could always be 758 00:46:37,200 --> 00:46:38,560 Speaker 10: right up in the front of the line. 759 00:46:38,600 --> 00:46:42,319 Speaker 8: Y'all go ahead, please go ahead, Thank you, mister Prime Minister. 760 00:46:42,400 --> 00:46:44,200 Speaker 18: Have a question for you as well. But mister President, 761 00:46:44,200 --> 00:46:46,680 Speaker 18: I'll start with you quickly to fall upon what Peter 762 00:46:46,800 --> 00:46:47,360 Speaker 18: was asking. 763 00:46:50,880 --> 00:46:52,200 Speaker 3: It the biggest. 764 00:46:53,680 --> 00:46:56,640 Speaker 8: On education, uh, just about everything. 765 00:46:56,680 --> 00:46:58,520 Speaker 10: We're going to go through everything, just as it was 766 00:46:58,600 --> 00:47:01,360 Speaker 10: so bad with what we just went through with this 767 00:47:01,480 --> 00:47:04,880 Speaker 10: horrible situation we just went through, and I guess ninety 768 00:47:04,960 --> 00:47:06,920 Speaker 10: seven percent of the people have been dismissed. 769 00:47:07,440 --> 00:47:09,759 Speaker 8: It was very, very unfortunate. You're not going to find 770 00:47:09,800 --> 00:47:12,120 Speaker 8: anything like that, but you're going to find a. 771 00:47:12,160 --> 00:47:15,760 Speaker 10: Lot and I've instructed him to go check out education, 772 00:47:15,960 --> 00:47:18,840 Speaker 10: to check out the Pentagon, which is the military, and 773 00:47:19,360 --> 00:47:21,480 Speaker 10: you know, sadly you'll find some things that are pretty bad. 774 00:47:21,560 --> 00:47:24,000 Speaker 8: But I don't think proportionally you're going to see anything 775 00:47:24,080 --> 00:47:24,600 Speaker 8: like we just so. 776 00:47:25,920 --> 00:47:28,560 Speaker 18: FBI has turned over a list to the Justice Department 777 00:47:28,640 --> 00:47:31,880 Speaker 18: of the FBI agents who worked on the January sixth rioters' cases. 778 00:47:32,160 --> 00:47:34,680 Speaker 18: Are you planning to fire the FBI agents who worked 779 00:47:34,719 --> 00:47:35,800 Speaker 18: on those investigations? 780 00:47:36,200 --> 00:47:38,440 Speaker 8: No, but I'll fire some of them because some of 781 00:47:38,520 --> 00:47:39,240 Speaker 8: them were corrupt. 782 00:47:39,600 --> 00:47:41,960 Speaker 10: I have no doubt about that. I got to know 783 00:47:42,040 --> 00:47:45,360 Speaker 10: a lot about that business, that world. I got to 784 00:47:45,480 --> 00:47:47,160 Speaker 10: know a lot about that world. That we had some 785 00:47:47,320 --> 00:47:49,919 Speaker 10: corrupt agents, and those people are gone or they will 786 00:47:49,960 --> 00:47:54,040 Speaker 10: be gone, and it'll be done quickly and very surgically. 787 00:47:56,000 --> 00:47:58,320 Speaker 10: Did you have a question for the Prime Minister. 788 00:48:01,040 --> 00:48:05,560 Speaker 8: Talk up? I don't know. I don't know. I know 789 00:48:05,719 --> 00:48:07,560 Speaker 8: we have some that are very corrupt that we don't 790 00:48:07,680 --> 00:48:10,800 Speaker 8: like it. We're going to bring back the reputation of 791 00:48:10,920 --> 00:48:11,400 Speaker 8: the FBI. 792 00:48:11,600 --> 00:48:13,880 Speaker 10: Cash Pttel is going to do a great job and 793 00:48:13,960 --> 00:48:16,560 Speaker 10: we're going to bring back the reputation of the FBI, 794 00:48:16,640 --> 00:48:17,960 Speaker 10: which has been heard very badly. 795 00:48:18,000 --> 00:48:20,239 Speaker 8: It's been devastated over the last four years. 796 00:48:24,160 --> 00:48:25,680 Speaker 18: You have just been meeting them for the first time 797 00:48:25,760 --> 00:48:28,960 Speaker 18: with President Trump. The last administration famously did not have 798 00:48:29,120 --> 00:48:32,280 Speaker 18: hardly any, if at all, contact with North Korea. President 799 00:48:32,320 --> 00:48:33,760 Speaker 18: Trump certainly did the last time. 800 00:48:33,680 --> 00:48:34,320 Speaker 3: He was in office. 801 00:48:34,360 --> 00:48:37,280 Speaker 18: Would you like to see him resume that that contact 802 00:48:37,360 --> 00:48:39,560 Speaker 18: and also that in person meeting that he had with 803 00:48:39,680 --> 00:48:41,239 Speaker 18: the North Korean leader Kim Jong un. 804 00:48:48,440 --> 00:48:53,360 Speaker 13: Through that is something that the United States needs to 805 00:48:53,480 --> 00:48:58,640 Speaker 13: determine on its own, and it's not something that we 806 00:48:59,120 --> 00:49:06,640 Speaker 13: should request. Having said that, but for example, in Vietnam 807 00:49:06,800 --> 00:49:14,680 Speaker 13: or Singapore, the president of the United States, President Trump 808 00:49:15,480 --> 00:49:18,480 Speaker 13: was able to meet with Kim Jong ung. I think 809 00:49:18,560 --> 00:49:25,600 Speaker 13: that's a very positive development. So now that's President Trump 810 00:49:25,680 --> 00:49:30,560 Speaker 13: is in power again, if we are able to move 811 00:49:30,640 --> 00:49:35,320 Speaker 13: towards resolving issues with the North Korea, I think you 812 00:49:35,320 --> 00:49:38,960 Speaker 13: would be a great and of course for us, that 813 00:49:39,600 --> 00:49:44,280 Speaker 13: includes not only denuclearization, but also resolving the abductee issue. 814 00:49:45,960 --> 00:49:46,360 Speaker 3: And so. 815 00:49:48,800 --> 00:49:52,279 Speaker 13: Not only the victims of the abductees, but also their 816 00:49:52,360 --> 00:49:56,040 Speaker 13: families too are aging and so our time is limited. 817 00:49:56,760 --> 00:50:00,640 Speaker 13: So if the President of the United States, President Trump, 818 00:50:00,800 --> 00:50:05,560 Speaker 13: is able to resolve this issue, we do understand that 819 00:50:05,680 --> 00:50:08,440 Speaker 13: it's a Japan issue first and foremost. Having said that 820 00:50:08,840 --> 00:50:11,200 Speaker 13: we would love to continue to cooperate with them. 821 00:50:11,840 --> 00:50:14,960 Speaker 10: It's actually a good question, and we will have relations 822 00:50:15,080 --> 00:50:17,080 Speaker 10: with North Korea and with Kim Jung. And I got 823 00:50:17,120 --> 00:50:18,799 Speaker 10: along with him very well, as you know. I think 824 00:50:18,840 --> 00:50:22,000 Speaker 10: I stopped the war. I think I wouldn't have won 825 00:50:22,080 --> 00:50:24,160 Speaker 10: that particular election. You would have ended up in a 826 00:50:25,200 --> 00:50:28,520 Speaker 10: very a very bad situation. But I did, and we 827 00:50:28,719 --> 00:50:31,759 Speaker 10: had a good relationship.
