WEBVTT - Thinking Outside the Box - April 7th, Hour 1 0:00:01.120 --> 0:00:03.120 All right, thank you, Scott Shannon, and thanks to all 0:00:03.160 --> 0:00:05.840 of you for being with us toll free. Our number 0:00:06.120 --> 0:00:08.000 is eight hundred and nine to pot one Sean if 0:00:08.000 --> 0:00:10.880 you want to be a part of the program. Has 0:00:10.920 --> 0:00:14.160 been a volatile day on Wall Street. What's the latest, Linda? 0:00:14.240 --> 0:00:16.040 I can pull it up here on my phone because 0:00:16.079 --> 0:00:19.919 I am, you know, capable of doing more than one 0:00:19.960 --> 0:00:23.160 thing at a time. All right, Dad Jones, right now 0:00:23.360 --> 0:00:28.880 today it's been up and down for sixty sixty four. Yeah, okay, 0:00:28.880 --> 0:00:31.200 a minute ago it was down one twenty eight. Earlier 0:00:31.240 --> 0:00:32.960 in the day, it was down like twenty three hundred. 0:00:32.960 --> 0:00:36.400 It's been blowing out, you know, up and down and everywhere, 0:00:36.440 --> 0:00:38.640 and everyone in the stock market's freaking out. Let me 0:00:38.640 --> 0:00:41.720 just say a couple of things about this. And the 0:00:41.760 --> 0:00:43.960 first thing I want to start with is an understanding, 0:00:44.640 --> 0:00:48.520 and Treasury Secretary Scott Percent made this point is eighty 0:00:48.560 --> 0:00:51.000 eight percent of the stock market is owned by the 0:00:51.000 --> 0:00:55.320 wealthiest ten percent of Americans. After four years of Biden 0:00:55.400 --> 0:00:58.960 and Harris, we have fifty percent of Americans have debt, 0:01:00.080 --> 0:01:03.440 credit card bills, they rent their homes, they have auto loans, 0:01:04.200 --> 0:01:08.760 and if you look at what where President Trump is 0:01:09.040 --> 0:01:14.800 on this, he's looking out for American farmers, he's looking 0:01:14.800 --> 0:01:19.480 out for American automakers, he's looking out for American ranchers, 0:01:19.880 --> 0:01:24.280 he's looking out for American manufacturers, and he is betting 0:01:25.400 --> 0:01:27.840 he is also thinking long term in terms of national 0:01:27.880 --> 0:01:30.480 security here. This runs a lot deeper than what the 0:01:30.560 --> 0:01:33.440 surface analysis you're getting from these morons that are on 0:01:33.560 --> 0:01:37.280 these you know, on these cable channels that just freak 0:01:37.360 --> 0:01:40.160 out at the very site or anything that Donald Trump 0:01:40.160 --> 0:01:43.240 that does that's outside the box. And this is very 0:01:43.280 --> 0:01:48.720 outside the box. You are an institutionalist if you can't understand. 0:01:48.800 --> 0:01:51.000 And this is goes back to the choice that I've 0:01:51.000 --> 0:01:55.320 been pointing out from day one, and that is you 0:01:55.800 --> 0:01:59.560 only really have two choices here. For the last fifty years, 0:02:00.120 --> 0:02:05.120 our country has allowed friend and foe, allies and enemy 0:02:05.160 --> 0:02:09.120 countries to take full advantage of US and rip us 0:02:09.160 --> 0:02:12.480 the hell off, and they have abused the United States 0:02:12.480 --> 0:02:16.560 for decades. Now keep in mind, especially our allies, we 0:02:16.680 --> 0:02:20.520 provide them with most of their national security or the 0:02:20.560 --> 0:02:24.400 technology to buy the weaponry so that they can fight back. 0:02:24.400 --> 0:02:27.960 In the case of NATO and Europe and European countries 0:02:28.400 --> 0:02:31.000 and the European Union, Now we can use Europe as 0:02:31.000 --> 0:02:35.040 a quick example. European Union charges a ten percent tariff 0:02:35.080 --> 0:02:38.680 on American made automobiles. Then you go to countries that 0:02:38.720 --> 0:02:42.480 have value added taxes, which are national sales taxes like Germany, 0:02:42.520 --> 0:02:46.320 that's another twenty percent. So that makes an American car 0:02:46.480 --> 0:02:50.480 being sold in Germany that adds thirty percent to the 0:02:50.520 --> 0:02:55.679 sticker price, which then has resulted in almost ten cars 0:02:55.919 --> 0:02:58.760 from Germany being sold in America for every one car 0:03:00.000 --> 0:03:03.680 American car being sold in Germany. Now does that sound 0:03:03.760 --> 0:03:06.320 like free and fair trade to you? So we have 0:03:06.360 --> 0:03:09.080 a choice. We could do nothing, continue to get ripped 0:03:09.080 --> 0:03:11.639 off by other countries and get abused by other countries 0:03:11.720 --> 0:03:15.560 like we have for decades, or we can insist or 0:03:15.600 --> 0:03:20.080 give them the choice actually and demand free and fair trade. 0:03:20.639 --> 0:03:24.120 And countries will have the choice. And my bet is 0:03:24.320 --> 0:03:28.280 where I'm betting, is that over time, when they evaluate 0:03:28.360 --> 0:03:34.040 this situation, and if anyone has any common sense in 0:03:34.120 --> 0:03:39.120 these countries, they are going to want access to our markets. 0:03:39.840 --> 0:03:44.080 They are going to want access to you, the American consumer. 0:03:44.600 --> 0:03:47.840 They are going to want to sell their products here. 0:03:48.800 --> 0:03:51.760 And the choice is going to be simple. Now if 0:03:51.800 --> 0:03:55.560 they continue to choose to hurt our farmers, our ranchers, 0:03:56.000 --> 0:04:02.040 our manufacturers, are automakers with high tech we will stand up. 0:04:02.280 --> 0:04:06.080 Donald Trump has said he will stand up for American industry, 0:04:06.520 --> 0:04:11.200 American workers, and the American people. Now there's an added 0:04:11.240 --> 0:04:14.880 benefit to all of this, like, for example, the Taiwanese 0:04:16.200 --> 0:04:21.080 a semiconductor chip company that is moving facilities here and 0:04:21.120 --> 0:04:23.400 they're going to spend one hundred billion dollars in the 0:04:23.440 --> 0:04:27.360 next four years. We have other semiconductor chip companies they're 0:04:27.400 --> 0:04:29.440 going to now be building. Those are things that we 0:04:29.560 --> 0:04:33.400 are reliant on. That pharmaceuticals we need to need. There's 0:04:33.440 --> 0:04:35.960 certain things we need to manufacture here. Are we going 0:04:36.040 --> 0:04:40.640 to go back to the industrial age that once built 0:04:40.680 --> 0:04:44.760 this country? Probably not. But do we for national security 0:04:44.839 --> 0:04:50.359 reasons need to produce certain items that are critical for 0:04:50.480 --> 0:04:55.479 national security here, like semiconductors. Yeah, we do. Now, all 0:04:55.480 --> 0:05:00.120 the President is doing here is offering a choice to 0:05:00.240 --> 0:05:06.359 countries friend and foe alike, demanding fundamental fairness. And while 0:05:06.400 --> 0:05:09.800 it might be a temporary shock to the old way 0:05:09.839 --> 0:05:13.760 of doing things, because every past president has known about 0:05:14.160 --> 0:05:17.400 the tariffs these countries put on us and has been 0:05:17.520 --> 0:05:20.640 unwilling to challenge it or stand up for the American people, 0:05:21.240 --> 0:05:27.200 American consumers, American workers, American manufacturers. So the President is 0:05:27.320 --> 0:05:32.040 simply saying, here is the choice is yours. The days 0:05:32.080 --> 0:05:35.280 of your free ride is over. You can choose free 0:05:35.320 --> 0:05:38.919 and fair trade, or you can choose to put tariffs 0:05:39.040 --> 0:05:42.320 on products that we've sell in your country, but we're 0:05:42.320 --> 0:05:44.720 going to do the same thing back to you. In 0:05:44.760 --> 0:05:47.760 other words, the United States of America is not going 0:05:47.760 --> 0:05:50.880 to be taken advantage of any longer. Now, I'll just 0:05:51.000 --> 0:05:52.800 pay you one guy that's a really smart guy. His 0:05:52.920 --> 0:05:56.120 name is Bill Lackman, and he had been proposed. And 0:05:56.160 --> 0:05:58.800 this is when the market really went crazy. Earlier today 0:05:59.320 --> 0:06:02.719 was deep in the red, and then boom came flying back, 0:06:03.880 --> 0:06:07.240 and it was believed temporarily that Donald Trump was going 0:06:07.279 --> 0:06:09.719 to back down and put a ninety day pause in effect, 0:06:09.760 --> 0:06:12.400 which I strongly disagree with, because then these countries are 0:06:12.440 --> 0:06:14.480 going to have no incentive to deal with this now. 0:06:15.320 --> 0:06:17.279 If you're going to deal with something that might be 0:06:17.320 --> 0:06:19.560 a little painful in the beginning, you might as well 0:06:19.600 --> 0:06:22.720 deal with it now. And I believe that long term, 0:06:22.800 --> 0:06:25.240 this is the strategy America's got to take unless we 0:06:25.320 --> 0:06:29.560 want to be taken advantage of however, so I don't 0:06:29.600 --> 0:06:31.599 agree with the ninety day pause. But Acman's a really 0:06:31.640 --> 0:06:34.520 smart guy, and he's a Trump supporter. But I think 0:06:34.560 --> 0:06:37.599 he has rightly pointed out one thing. If you go 0:06:37.680 --> 0:06:41.560 back to last week's announcement by the President, I believe 0:06:41.600 --> 0:06:43.839 it was in the Rose Garden at the White House. 0:06:44.560 --> 0:06:47.279 If you look at the White House calculations, they did 0:06:47.320 --> 0:06:52.479 include things besides tariffs. Would I would bifurcate those things 0:06:52.480 --> 0:06:56.720 out separately. In other words, if we were to exclusively 0:06:56.800 --> 0:07:01.200 just focus on tariffs only, for example, you know, if 0:07:01.200 --> 0:07:04.080 we would just say, if you want free in fair 0:07:04.120 --> 0:07:07.599 trade with the US, no tariffs at all between US 0:07:07.720 --> 0:07:11.320 and every European country, that would be free and fair trade. 0:07:12.080 --> 0:07:14.520 And if Canada wants to do the same thing, that 0:07:14.560 --> 0:07:19.280 deal would would be open to them also. Now, this way, 0:07:19.320 --> 0:07:21.400 on the issue of tariffs, we can have apples to 0:07:21.440 --> 0:07:24.280 apples and free and fair trade policy. Now there are 0:07:24.360 --> 0:07:27.600 other issues. For example, Canada is a good case in point. 0:07:28.320 --> 0:07:30.320 That's not the only issue we have with Canada. We 0:07:30.360 --> 0:07:33.920 have issues with them not securing the northern border. Last 0:07:34.000 --> 0:07:37.600 year alone, we had the equivalent of the past seventeen 0:07:37.680 --> 0:07:41.080 years of illegal immigrants coming from our northern border into 0:07:41.120 --> 0:07:45.960 our country illegally or from over one hundred countries. They've 0:07:46.000 --> 0:07:49.320 got to do more to secure their border. Canada does 0:07:49.360 --> 0:07:52.640 not pay their fair share to NATO. All of these 0:07:52.680 --> 0:07:55.800 things have got to change. And I think that is 0:07:55.920 --> 0:08:02.800 just simple basic friendship, common sense. It really, it is 0:08:02.800 --> 0:08:06.200 what it is now. I don't think this is a 0:08:06.280 --> 0:08:10.840 complicated issue by any stretch of the imagination. I really don't, 0:08:11.680 --> 0:08:14.720 you know, unless we get we have to understand where 0:08:14.760 --> 0:08:17.760 we are as a country. We're a country that is 0:08:17.800 --> 0:08:21.240 now headed to forty trillion dollars in debt. We are 0:08:21.280 --> 0:08:25.560 a country where social security, medicare, Medicaid, they're all headed 0:08:25.560 --> 0:08:30.200 towards insolvency. We are a country that needs to invest 0:08:30.600 --> 0:08:33.920 in our energy infrastructure so we become energy dominant, which 0:08:33.920 --> 0:08:37.200 also would benefit our allies and friends, especially in Western Europe, 0:08:37.200 --> 0:08:41.520 which gets most of the lifeblood of their economy energy 0:08:41.760 --> 0:08:47.320 from Russia. Not exactly the most reliable partner. And I 0:08:47.320 --> 0:08:50.880 think it's very, very important that we understand where we 0:08:51.120 --> 0:08:55.640 are as a country. We for the most part, especially 0:08:55.679 --> 0:09:00.920 our allied friends, they benefit from the brillion dollars that 0:09:01.000 --> 0:09:05.800 we spend your money every single year on national defense. 0:09:06.640 --> 0:09:09.120 Trust me, Canada couldn't take out a spy balloon because 0:09:09.120 --> 0:09:11.440 they didn't have a plane that could reach a high 0:09:11.520 --> 0:09:14.320 enough altitude to do it, so they relied on the 0:09:14.400 --> 0:09:19.640 United States. If Canada ever comes under attack, it's going 0:09:19.720 --> 0:09:22.240 to be the United States that comes to its rescue. 0:09:22.280 --> 0:09:24.880 They will not be able to defend themselves on any 0:09:25.000 --> 0:09:30.800 level that would resemble a real defense against any real 0:09:30.840 --> 0:09:35.880 security threat. The stakes are high, but this country and 0:09:35.920 --> 0:09:39.520 we've got to accurately assess where we are. That's why 0:09:39.600 --> 0:09:43.600 it is critical that we eliminate all this waste, fraud, 0:09:43.640 --> 0:09:46.600 abuse and corruption that doge e Elon Musk and others 0:09:46.679 --> 0:09:50.200 have identified. That's why it's now important to take the 0:09:50.280 --> 0:09:53.960 stand now to demand free and fair trade and stop 0:09:54.040 --> 0:09:56.719 letting the world take advantage of us the way they 0:09:56.760 --> 0:09:59.959 have and ripping us off the way they have, because 0:10:00.080 --> 0:10:03.040 that is just money out of the pocket of our 0:10:03.120 --> 0:10:07.880 children and our grandchildren and working men and women in America. 0:10:07.960 --> 0:10:11.520 These are fundamental but necessary steps to protect our country 0:10:11.520 --> 0:10:15.199 and our economy, and the DC swamp has frankly allowed 0:10:15.200 --> 0:10:22.000 the country to unilaterally surrender economically. And President Trump insisting 0:10:22.440 --> 0:10:26.400 on free and fair trade will be and moving towards 0:10:26.520 --> 0:10:30.640 energy and dependence will be the biggest, best wealth producing 0:10:30.679 --> 0:10:33.200 steps in both the short term and the long term, 0:10:33.240 --> 0:10:37.080 the very very short term because it's such a shock 0:10:37.160 --> 0:10:40.920 to the system. I mean, you have establishment Republicans, right, 0:10:40.960 --> 0:10:46.440 you have establishment Democrats. The establishment in DC are incapable 0:10:46.480 --> 0:10:49.680 of thinking out of the box. I mean, they're afraid 0:10:49.679 --> 0:10:53.240 of their own shadows. Most of these people, they really are. 0:10:53.280 --> 0:10:57.920 They're not people. You know, which one of these countries 0:10:58.480 --> 0:11:03.080 I'm sorry, which which one who thinks out of the box. 0:11:03.440 --> 0:11:05.680 What other person would say that, well, if we're going 0:11:05.720 --> 0:11:07.920 to liberate a rack, they should pay for their liberation. 0:11:08.840 --> 0:11:11.880 What other country we go into a mineral deal with 0:11:12.120 --> 0:11:14.280 Ukraine and say, wait a minute, we gave you hundreds 0:11:14.320 --> 0:11:16.679 of billions of dollars. We want to be repaid. And 0:11:16.720 --> 0:11:18.640 by the way, it'll be a good deal for you 0:11:18.720 --> 0:11:21.880 because we'll have a presence in your country and provide 0:11:21.880 --> 0:11:25.000 you security, and then we'll also provide you part of 0:11:25.040 --> 0:11:28.319 the profits and you can rebuild your country after hopefully 0:11:28.320 --> 0:11:31.000 we get a negotiated settlement with Russia and your war 0:11:31.040 --> 0:11:34.319 with Russia comes to an end. You know, because if 0:11:34.360 --> 0:11:37.000 you look at many of the people in the arguments 0:11:37.000 --> 0:11:39.400 that I've been hearing the tariffs are amazing, and revive 0:11:39.559 --> 0:11:42.600 manufacturing and bring good jobs and rebuild the middle class. 0:11:43.200 --> 0:11:49.600 You know, this may in the end turn out being true. Ranchers, farmers, manufacturers, 0:11:50.320 --> 0:11:56.280 the UAW union workers, steel workers, every industry. In other words, 0:11:56.320 --> 0:11:59.920 the people that make this country great. They're loving this idea. 0:12:01.000 --> 0:12:04.559 You know, you have less than half the country or 0:12:04.640 --> 0:12:07.920 even invested a little bit in the stock market. Eighty 0:12:07.960 --> 0:12:10.440 eight percent of the money is there by the top 0:12:10.480 --> 0:12:13.200 ten percent of Americans, which liberals have been teaching us 0:12:13.240 --> 0:12:16.280 for years that we're supposed to hate these people. You know, 0:12:16.480 --> 0:12:21.200 we talk, we talk to talk of elitists. You know, 0:12:21.240 --> 0:12:23.640 the people that are all wigged out over the stock 0:12:23.679 --> 0:12:27.679 market the most are the people that have money in 0:12:27.760 --> 0:12:31.520 the market, large sums of money. But they're not following 0:12:31.559 --> 0:12:34.800 some basic stock market rules either. And I don't know 0:12:34.840 --> 0:12:38.199 why people don't understand if you're investing in the stock market, Frankly, 0:12:38.640 --> 0:12:40.040 if it's money that you're going to need it in 0:12:40.040 --> 0:12:43.319 the next ten years, you probably should be reducing your 0:12:43.360 --> 0:12:48.720 exposure dramatically and thinking more along the lines of wealth preservation. 0:12:49.600 --> 0:12:53.200 I mean, when treasury returns for one two year treasuries 0:12:53.600 --> 0:12:55.920 or five percent. I'm like, yeah, I like that option 0:12:56.040 --> 0:12:58.160 better than the risk of the stock market, especially a 0:12:58.160 --> 0:13:02.400 stock market that's probably long overdue for a correction. I 0:13:02.400 --> 0:13:04.560 don't like the volatility of the stock market. Now, with 0:13:04.640 --> 0:13:07.600 that said, when Donald Trump was president the first time 0:13:07.640 --> 0:13:10.720 and he talked about tariffs, the initial reaction was similar 0:13:10.720 --> 0:13:13.200 to what we've seen in the last three days. But 0:13:13.320 --> 0:13:15.840 in the end, by the time he left office, the 0:13:15.880 --> 0:13:18.400 stock market was up. That was up sixty percent, and 0:13:18.440 --> 0:13:21.800 as that doubled, it was up one hundred percent. Again, 0:13:21.840 --> 0:13:25.360 it's not my wheelhouse, and nor is it I don't 0:13:25.400 --> 0:13:29.000 have the desire for the risk reward that the stock 0:13:29.040 --> 0:13:31.840 market offers. In many ways, it kind of is a 0:13:31.840 --> 0:13:35.920 form of gambling. You know, tariffs there are uncertain outcomes, 0:13:35.920 --> 0:13:38.480 caused fear among people. But I have other news to 0:13:38.480 --> 0:13:41.640 share with you today that over fifty countries have reached 0:13:41.640 --> 0:13:45.480 out to this White House already looking to negotiate free 0:13:45.480 --> 0:13:48.720 and fair trade deals with the United States. Prior to 0:13:49.440 --> 0:13:52.840 the announcement last week, over six trillion dollars an investment 0:13:52.960 --> 0:13:57.520 was committed for industry here in the US. Nissan and 0:13:57.559 --> 0:14:01.600 Honda pulled out of building plans in metas ago, Apple 0:14:02.000 --> 0:14:06.680 committed five hundred billion dollars. Other countries are now investing 0:14:06.960 --> 0:14:10.840 a one point five trillion from the UAE, one trillion 0:14:10.880 --> 0:14:15.040 from Saudi Arabia because they're betting on America and these 0:14:15.080 --> 0:14:22.480 manufacturing facilities, these automobile plants, this new industry, this chip industry, 0:14:22.520 --> 0:14:26.080 semiconductors will being built here, etc. Are going to create 0:14:26.120 --> 0:14:30.520 high paying career jobs for Americans and we will ultimately benefit. 0:14:30.840 --> 0:14:33.360 It's hard to ask people, you know, look, give up 0:14:33.360 --> 0:14:36.480 eating you know, cupcakes, you know, three times a day, 0:14:36.520 --> 0:14:39.880 in ice cream every night, and work out every day 0:14:39.920 --> 0:14:41.520 for an hour and a half and you're going to 0:14:41.760 --> 0:14:43.680 you know, be fit and live longer and it's going 0:14:43.760 --> 0:14:45.680 to be better for your health. That's that's kind of 0:14:46.280 --> 0:14:48.200 you know, no pain, no gain. Nobody wants to hear 0:14:48.240 --> 0:14:51.080 about eating your spinach either, but it's kind of what 0:14:51.120 --> 0:14:53.040 we have to do if we really want to get 0:14:53.040 --> 0:14:56.080 this country on track and stop robbing our kids and 0:14:56.400 --> 0:14:59.600 future generations.

Let's go to the President 0:15:12.440 --> 0:15:17.280 with Prime Minister Nataniello at the White House as they are. 0:15:18.160 --> 0:15:21.480 The President gives opening remarks, then starts taking questions from 0:15:21.600 --> 0:15:24.800 the state run legacy media mob. 0:15:24.880 --> 0:15:26.400 At lunch together. 0:15:26.520 --> 0:15:30.720 We had meetings together along with his very capable staff, 0:15:31.400 --> 0:15:34.280 and I think we've come up to some pretty good 0:15:34.320 --> 0:15:38.080 solutions and conclusions, and we'll be working a little bit 0:15:38.120 --> 0:15:39.320 after this, and then I. 0:15:39.280 --> 0:15:40.480 Assume you're going back home. 0:15:41.560 --> 0:15:44.400 This is a quick stop in and out, but we 0:15:44.520 --> 0:15:47.200 appreciate you being here, and we are a friend of Israel, 0:15:47.240 --> 0:15:50.280 as you know. I would say that I'm by far 0:15:50.440 --> 0:15:54.000 the best president that Israel has ever even thought of seeing. 0:15:55.040 --> 0:15:58.600 And it's an honor to be so and to be 0:15:58.760 --> 0:16:02.680 so brought up many friends in Israel. They are not 0:16:03.520 --> 0:16:06.480 in an easy area, doesn't go easy, but we are 0:16:06.720 --> 0:16:11.040 helping them, and likewise they've been helping us very much, 0:16:11.200 --> 0:16:13.000 and so we'll see how it all works out. But 0:16:13.080 --> 0:16:16.440 we had great discussions today, I think on the obvious 0:16:16.800 --> 0:16:20.960 subject of Iran and also the less obvious subject with 0:16:21.080 --> 0:16:25.160 respect to Israel and that's trade, and I think the 0:16:25.160 --> 0:16:26.640 Prime Minister is going to tell you a little bit 0:16:26.640 --> 0:16:29.040 about trade and what they're doing for the United States. 0:16:29.600 --> 0:16:31.160 So I want to thank you all for being here. 0:16:31.200 --> 0:16:33.560 Thank you very much, and thank you Benjamin, thank you 0:16:33.680 --> 0:16:34.000 very much. 0:16:34.080 --> 0:16:39.440 Thank you, mister President, thank you Dom Thank you as President. 0:16:39.480 --> 0:16:42.400 I want to first thank you for inviting me again 0:16:43.160 --> 0:16:46.720 to the White House. You've been a remarkable friend of 0:16:46.760 --> 0:16:51.520 the State ofsm You stand by us, you're standing with us. 0:16:51.600 --> 0:16:56.520 You are a great, great champion of our lives, and 0:16:57.520 --> 0:17:01.000 you actually do things that you say you do, and 0:17:01.040 --> 0:17:04.439 I think that people respect that enormously. I certainly do, 0:17:04.520 --> 0:17:07.119 and the people of Israel doing I think the Jewish 0:17:07.119 --> 0:17:11.440 people do as well. We just saw your representative in 0:17:11.119 --> 0:17:15.560 the Department of Justice fighting anti Semitism, standing up for 0:17:15.680 --> 0:17:18.840 Israel in international forms. I just want you to know 0:17:19.040 --> 0:17:22.600 from the heart it's deeply, deeply appreciated. As you said, 0:17:22.640 --> 0:17:27.840 we had the opportunity to talk today about many subjects. First, 0:17:27.880 --> 0:17:29.960 if I can mentioned TRAbs, it's the subject of some 0:17:30.119 --> 0:17:34.280 interested in I can tell you that I said to 0:17:34.320 --> 0:17:38.000 the President of a very simple thing. We will eliminate the 0:17:38.080 --> 0:17:41.359 trade deficit with the United States. We intend to do 0:17:41.400 --> 0:17:44.239 it very quickly. We think it's the right thing to do. 0:17:45.080 --> 0:17:49.359 And we're going to also eliminate trade barriers, a variety 0:17:49.359 --> 0:17:52.199 of trade barriers that have been put up unnecessarily, and 0:17:52.240 --> 0:17:56.000 I think Israel conserve as a model for many countries 0:17:56.480 --> 0:18:00.520 who are to do the same. I recognize the the 0:18:00.640 --> 0:18:03.720 position of the United States. It says, you know, we 0:18:03.840 --> 0:18:07.679 allowing other countries to put tariffs on us, but we 0:18:07.720 --> 0:18:09.960 don't put tariffs on them. And you know, I'm a 0:18:10.000 --> 0:18:13.280 free trade champion, and free trade has to be fair trade. 0:18:13.440 --> 0:18:16.720 And I think that's basically the position that you have 0:18:17.320 --> 0:18:20.679 put forward, mister President. We are going to eliminate the 0:18:20.760 --> 0:18:24.119 tariffs and rapidly. I added the opportunity to speak to 0:18:24.960 --> 0:18:29.280 Secretary Lutnik yesterday. We talked about how we could affect 0:18:29.280 --> 0:18:32.399 this quickly, and I hope to bring the solution very quickly. 0:18:32.440 --> 0:18:37.080 We're not talking about intentions, we're not talking about, you know, 0:18:37.280 --> 0:18:40.879 just words. We're talking about results. Those results are going 0:18:40.960 --> 0:18:42.320 to come back. That's the first. 0:18:42.359 --> 0:18:48.199 Thank you, that's very nice, thank you, Thank you you well. 0:18:48.520 --> 0:18:53.200 I have been of what we did. We spoke about 0:18:53.440 --> 0:18:58.360 not only the hostages, but about Gazam, the hostages obviously 0:18:58.480 --> 0:19:04.639 is a human story of un just, unbearable agony. I 0:19:04.680 --> 0:19:07.720 speak to the families. I spoke to them yesterday, spoke 0:19:07.760 --> 0:19:10.640 to another one when I was in Ungary before I came, 0:19:10.720 --> 0:19:13.240 and I speak to them every day. They're in agony. 0:19:14.040 --> 0:19:16.440 The hostages are in agony, and we want to get 0:19:16.440 --> 0:19:22.120 them all out. Steve Whitcoff, President Trump's very able representative, 0:19:22.240 --> 0:19:24.840 helped us get a deal that got twenty five out. 0:19:24.920 --> 0:19:28.320 We're working now on another deal that we hope will succeed, 0:19:29.160 --> 0:19:31.359 and we're committed to getting all the hostages out, but 0:19:31.400 --> 0:19:39.159 also eliminating the evil taranty of Hamas in Ghazam and 0:19:39.240 --> 0:19:41.960 enabling the people of Gaza to freely make a choice 0:19:42.560 --> 0:19:44.399 to go wherever they want. I mean, they should have 0:19:44.480 --> 0:19:47.440 another choice. And the President put forward a vision of 0:19:47.560 --> 0:19:53.359 bold vision which we discussed as well, including the countries 0:19:53.400 --> 0:19:58.840 that might be amenable and are amenable to accepting Palestinians 0:19:58.840 --> 0:20:01.440 of their free choice if they choose to go there. 0:20:01.480 --> 0:20:03.920 And I think that's the second thing that we discuss. 0:20:04.600 --> 0:20:08.399 Uh ad Ostia's game right on top. UH. We also 0:20:08.440 --> 0:20:14.760 discussed the situation UH in Syria. UH we have UH 0:20:14.800 --> 0:20:18.359 We've had neighboring relations with Turkey that have deteriorated, and 0:20:18.480 --> 0:20:21.280 we don't want to see Syria being used by anyone, 0:20:21.440 --> 0:20:24.719 including Turkey, as a base for attack in Israel. Turkey 0:20:24.800 --> 0:20:29.920 is a country that UH hasn't a uh A great 0:20:29.920 --> 0:20:33.320 relationship with the United States. The President has a relationship 0:20:33.359 --> 0:20:35.960 with the leader of Turkey. We discussed how we can 0:20:36.080 --> 0:20:39.200 avoid this conflict, UH in a variety of ways, and 0:20:40.080 --> 0:20:43.439 UH I think we can have a better interlocutor than 0:20:43.480 --> 0:20:46.320 the President of the United States for this purpose. And 0:20:46.359 --> 0:20:49.920 of course we also discussed Iran. Look, we're both united 0:20:49.960 --> 0:20:54.480 in the goal that Iran does not ever get nuclear weapons. 0:20:54.840 --> 0:20:57.480 If it could be done diplomatically, in a full way, 0:20:57.600 --> 0:20:59.639 the way it was done in Libya, I think that 0:20:59.640 --> 0:21:03.040 would be a good thing. But whatever happens, we have 0:21:03.080 --> 0:21:06.000 to make sure that you want does not have the wedness. 0:21:06.960 --> 0:21:07.960 That's the end of my speak. 0:21:11.520 --> 0:21:15.480 We are we're having directing talks with wait wait wait wait, 0:21:16.080 --> 0:21:19.280 we're having direct talks with Iran and. 0:21:20.680 --> 0:21:22.920 They've started. It'll go on Saturday. 0:21:23.040 --> 0:21:25.280 We have a very big meeting and we'll see what 0:21:25.400 --> 0:21:25.879 can happen. 0:21:26.720 --> 0:21:28.160 And I think everybody. 0:21:27.720 --> 0:21:33.000 Agrees that doing a deal would be preferable to doing 0:21:33.000 --> 0:21:37.159 the obvious, and the obvious is not something that I 0:21:37.200 --> 0:21:40.159 want to be involved with, or frankly that is your 0:21:40.240 --> 0:21:42.280 wants to be involved with if they can avoid it. 0:21:42.280 --> 0:21:43.760 So we're going to see if we can avoid it. 0:21:44.240 --> 0:21:49.760 But it's getting to be very dangerous territory. And hopefully 0:21:49.760 --> 0:21:52.000 those talks will be successful, and I think it would 0:21:52.000 --> 0:21:55.760 be intern's best interests if they are successful, and we 0:21:56.400 --> 0:21:59.679 hope that's going to happen. Uh, And we had just 0:21:59.720 --> 0:22:01.200 a lot of good talks on a lot of things. 0:22:01.200 --> 0:22:03.400 I appreciate very much what you said about the tariffs. 0:22:03.400 --> 0:22:07.160 We've been ripped off and taken advantage of by many 0:22:07.200 --> 0:22:10.439 countries over the years, and can't do it anymore. 0:22:10.480 --> 0:22:12.560 We just can't do it anymore. Can't be the stupid 0:22:12.560 --> 0:22:13.440 people anymore. 0:22:14.119 --> 0:22:17.080 And it's all because of the. 0:22:16.359 --> 0:22:19.160 People that sat in the seat right here, not yourc 0:22:19.359 --> 0:22:20.040 but the city. 0:22:20.720 --> 0:22:23.040 They allowed things to happen to our country that they 0:22:23.040 --> 0:22:26.200 shouldn't have allowed to happen on trade and other things. 0:22:25.960 --> 0:22:26.680 Many other things. 0:22:26.680 --> 0:22:29.520 I mean, look at what's happened with our last president, 0:22:29.640 --> 0:22:32.560 where we allowed millions of people come into our country 0:22:32.600 --> 0:22:36.040 with an open border. Who would want an open how 0:22:36.200 --> 0:22:40.480 stupid was that? But he allowed millions and millions of people. 0:22:41.040 --> 0:22:43.119 And of the millions, and I think it was twenty 0:22:43.119 --> 0:22:45.960 one million people, but let's say three of them were 0:22:46.040 --> 0:22:50.879 serious criminals, serious murderers, and drug dealers and gang members 0:22:50.920 --> 0:22:54.440 and people from jails. All the jails emptied out right 0:22:54.480 --> 0:22:58.880 into our country, right along the open border on Mexico. 0:22:58.480 --> 0:23:00.680 Generally the Mexico we came in from. 0:23:00.640 --> 0:23:04.080 Canada to by the way a lot, but generally speaking 0:23:04.160 --> 0:23:08.000 on the southern border. And what a shame it is 0:23:08.040 --> 0:23:10.159 that we are now working very hard to get them out, 0:23:10.240 --> 0:23:13.760 get the criminals, get the murderers out, the drug dealers, 0:23:14.440 --> 0:23:17.439 the mentally insane, get them out. They drop them mentally 0:23:17.440 --> 0:23:20.240 insane in our country too. And this was all done 0:23:20.280 --> 0:23:23.720 by the Biden administration. It's a disgrace that we have 0:23:23.760 --> 0:23:25.520 to work so hard, and then we have judges that 0:23:25.640 --> 0:23:28.480 try and protect these people, but they didn't protect us 0:23:28.480 --> 0:23:30.960 when the people were being let in. But to get 0:23:30.960 --> 0:23:34.760 them out is never easy with these people. So I 0:23:34.760 --> 0:23:37.000 think we're doing a great job. The border is the 0:23:37.000 --> 0:23:40.919 best it's ever been. Even as strong as it was, 0:23:41.000 --> 0:23:42.720 I had a creating solid border. 0:23:42.760 --> 0:23:46.240 I think it might even be tougher right now and stronger. 0:23:46.359 --> 0:23:49.000
