Flew over there with him, is on 0:00:28.040 --> 0:00:30.920 his way back right now. I hate to break it 0:00:30.960 --> 0:00:33.760 to you, it's like a sixteen hour flight, seventeen hour flight. 0:00:34.159 --> 0:00:36.720 It's brutal, but it's not like a regular flight. We're 0:00:37.159 --> 0:00:40.040 sitting next to some insurance man from Kansas City. You're 0:00:40.080 --> 0:00:41.920 on a flight with Tim Cook. You're on a flight 0:00:42.000 --> 0:00:46.479 with the twenty biggest global financial geniuses in the world. 0:00:47.600 --> 0:00:51.160 And it's great. But on this trip, the big, big moment, 0:00:51.520 --> 0:00:55.760 Sean Hannity's interview, exclusive interview with the President of the 0:00:55.920 --> 0:00:59.120 United States. Let's take a listen to it right now. 0:01:00.000 --> 0:01:01.920 Thank you so much for sitting down your first interview. 0:01:01.960 --> 0:01:06.360 We appreciate it. Wow, they rolled out the red carpet. 0:01:06.920 --> 0:01:12.160 I have a video of when Barack Hussein Obama came 0:01:12.200 --> 0:01:17.280 to China. There wasn't as much pageantry. From your perspective, 0:01:17.880 --> 0:01:18.520 that welcome. 0:01:18.560 --> 0:01:20.160 What did that? How did you interpret that? 0:01:20.560 --> 0:01:22.680 Well, we have a relationship, he and I, and we've 0:01:22.680 --> 0:01:25.280 been working together a long time. We've gotten along well. 0:01:25.959 --> 0:01:28.839 When I first came here, China was really taking advantage 0:01:28.840 --> 0:01:32.480 of the United States. He understands it, and now we 0:01:32.600 --> 0:01:36.240 do great with China and we have a very good relationship. 0:01:36.280 --> 0:01:40.360 We have a friendship. Really. He's a tremendous leader. He's 0:01:40.400 --> 0:01:44.320 been here a long time, very powerful, very strong, there's 0:01:44.319 --> 0:01:47.720 no doubt about it. And we just have a good relationship. 0:01:47.760 --> 0:01:50.400 I did actually see other people arrive here. They're not 0:01:50.480 --> 0:01:53.400 treated so well, but we were treated very well. 0:01:53.240 --> 0:01:55.200 So that that was meaningful for you. 0:01:55.800 --> 0:01:58.240 Well, I mean, if I got out of a plane 0:01:58.240 --> 0:02:00.320 and nobody was there, a great man would say, that 0:02:00.320 --> 0:02:03.640 wouldn't be so cool, because it's really respect for our country. 0:02:04.200 --> 0:02:05.240 Our country is respected. 0:02:05.320 --> 0:02:07.600 Look with the hottest country right now anywhere in the world. 0:02:07.600 --> 0:02:09.440 But he and I know each other well I think 0:02:09.480 --> 0:02:12.760 beyond maybe that, but we certainly got a very nice 0:02:12.760 --> 0:02:14.239 greeting and today was beautiful. 0:02:14.560 --> 0:02:16.960 As the president, if there was any meeting that I 0:02:17.000 --> 0:02:19.360 think I want to be a part of, I would 0:02:19.400 --> 0:02:22.120 love to have been in that meeting rather than me 0:02:22.160 --> 0:02:24.480 start with a bunch of questions about this and that. 0:02:24.520 --> 0:02:30.480 And I do have a specific question, in your own words. 0:02:29.360 --> 0:02:32.320 How did this meeting go? Because I knew you were 0:02:32.360 --> 0:02:33.320 there a long time. 0:02:33.800 --> 0:02:37.320 It was a long meeting. It started off interestingly because 0:02:37.360 --> 0:02:40.800 they're very organized people. And as you know, we have 0:02:40.840 --> 0:02:43.680 about thirty of the biggest business leaders in the world, 0:02:43.760 --> 0:02:47.880 the biggest everything, you know, I mean you name it, 0:02:47.880 --> 0:02:51.560 from chips to planes to everything, and they're all here. 0:02:51.639 --> 0:02:54.320 I didn't invite them. They all wanted to come, and 0:02:54.360 --> 0:02:57.239 they're all here, and I suggested that I've always go 0:02:57.320 --> 0:03:00.000 at the meeting, I'd like to introduce them to you. 0:02:59.520 --> 0:03:02.600 And they were surprised because it wasn't you. 0:03:02.520 --> 0:03:05.360 Know, it wasn't scheduled. And they looked around. 0:03:05.400 --> 0:03:09.560 They said, well, and then, uh, you know, we had everybody. 0:03:09.560 --> 0:03:11.120 I don't want to go into names because I'll leave 0:03:11.160 --> 0:03:14.560 some out, but there were a lot of guys. 0:03:14.400 --> 0:03:17.240 Let him cook, a lot of peoples, you know, we 0:03:17.280 --> 0:03:17.959 had we had. 0:03:17.800 --> 0:03:23.080 Everybody had the video and we had just everybody and 0:03:23.760 --> 0:03:27.960 men and women, all all great business and the best. 0:03:28.840 --> 0:03:32.840 And they said okay, and they spoke a little bit 0:03:33.400 --> 0:03:37.000 and introduced themselves. It's interesting because they do business and 0:03:37.000 --> 0:03:39.160 shad most of them do business here, but probably like 0:03:39.200 --> 0:03:42.080 to do more. And I'd like to see them do more. 0:03:42.120 --> 0:03:45.240 That would be good for trade and trade balance. And 0:03:45.600 --> 0:03:47.520 they were fantastic, I'll tell you, they really had a 0:03:47.520 --> 0:03:52.120 good time. Once they once the Chinese leadership because it 0:03:52.160 --> 0:03:55.280 was it was presidency and many other leaders. Once they 0:03:55.320 --> 0:03:56.800 got used to the fact that we're a little off 0:03:56.960 --> 0:03:59.800 schedule here and we're talking about a subject that wasn't 0:03:59.800 --> 0:04:03.520 even thought about. But they were outside, I said, I 0:04:03.520 --> 0:04:05.240 think we can get them in five minutes because they 0:04:05.280 --> 0:04:07.520 were literally, you know, a few minutes away from the 0:04:07.560 --> 0:04:09.160 room where we were in the Great Hall. We were 0:04:09.200 --> 0:04:11.760 in the Great Hall, and they came in and they 0:04:12.160 --> 0:04:14.600 did fantastically well. It was really good. I think it was. 0:04:14.880 --> 0:04:17.200 He actually said, that was very good. 0:04:17.400 --> 0:04:19.880 That was a good idea, but it was very different 0:04:19.880 --> 0:04:22.080 from what the schedule had And then we went on. 0:04:22.760 --> 0:04:24.840 Now we talked about a lot of different subjects and. 0:04:24.760 --> 0:04:25.640 I think it was all good. 0:04:25.960 --> 0:04:28.320 Let me ask you this, you know, you always say 0:04:29.080 --> 0:04:33.400 that you have a very good relationship with President she 0:04:33.880 --> 0:04:37.560 and you say the same thing about Vladimir Putin. You 0:04:37.560 --> 0:04:41.280 were America first. You shouldn't always understand he's going to 0:04:41.320 --> 0:04:42.200 be China first. 0:04:42.600 --> 0:04:46.360 Yeah, totally, and so is he's China for us who 0:04:46.400 --> 0:04:49.840 wants to make good deals. But having a good relationship 0:04:49.920 --> 0:04:52.200 is a good thing, not a bad I explained to people. 0:04:52.279 --> 0:04:55.480 You know, it's great when you have good relationships with 0:04:55.720 --> 0:05:00.159 very powerful countries that powerful economically as well as we 0:05:00.200 --> 0:05:03.719 have the most I built in my first term the 0:05:03.800 --> 0:05:06.640 greatest military in the world. We have the greatest military 0:05:06.640 --> 0:05:09.520 in the world. We proved that with Venezuela. We proved 0:05:09.520 --> 0:05:12.599 it with the Wren. Wren's wiped out militarily, just a 0:05:12.680 --> 0:05:16.520 question of time. And you know, we gave them a 0:05:16.520 --> 0:05:18.800 break by stopping a little while we have a blockade. 0:05:19.279 --> 0:05:21.200 They have no boats, are going in, no boats or 0:05:21.200 --> 0:05:24.080 event thinking about We talked about it today. It's very interesting, 0:05:24.160 --> 0:05:27.200 but they're impressed. We have a great military. We have 0:05:27.240 --> 0:05:29.200 the greatest military we've ever had, But we have the 0:05:29.240 --> 0:05:31.520 greatest military anywhere in the world. I built it the 0:05:31.560 --> 0:05:35.800 first term. A little was given away by Biden to Afghanistan, 0:05:36.720 --> 0:05:38.279 and as much as it was, it was a lot, 0:05:38.320 --> 0:05:42.120 but it's a very little compared to what we have now. 0:05:42.240 --> 0:05:46.680 We have a country that is respected. Our country two 0:05:46.760 --> 0:05:51.360 years ago. If if Biden came here, I don't even 0:05:51.360 --> 0:05:54.200 think he would get a meeting with presidency. 0:05:54.240 --> 0:05:55.680 I don't think they'd even meet with him. 0:05:55.960 --> 0:05:58.680 I don't know focused long enough and you know what. 0:05:58.640 --> 0:06:00.640 He wouldn't come here. But assuming he came, I don't 0:06:00.640 --> 0:06:03.800 know that it even haven't mean it's amazing. Actually, a 0:06:03.839 --> 0:06:06.840 lot of people I noticed, even with the business leaders 0:06:06.839 --> 0:06:09.760 said the biggest businessmen of the women and women, A 0:06:09.800 --> 0:06:13.120 couple of women and most of them, almost all them, 0:06:13.160 --> 0:06:15.960 but most of them never met President She. This was 0:06:16.000 --> 0:06:18.679 the first time they've met her, so they found it exciting. 0:06:18.760 --> 0:06:22.920 They all performed very well. They all spoke and I said, 0:06:22.960 --> 0:06:25.280 it's a little different position for them because they had 0:06:25.360 --> 0:06:28.520 stuff back in our country. But here they are there 0:06:29.040 --> 0:06:33.280 standing in front of this massive country, the leadership. But 0:06:33.400 --> 0:06:34.599 they've really performed well. 0:06:35.760 --> 0:06:40.560 You have in the past described President She to me 0:06:41.360 --> 0:06:46.240 as very tough, all business. You're not describing the type 0:06:46.279 --> 0:06:49.240 of business that he normally used to do. Do you 0:06:49.320 --> 0:06:52.880 think that your relationship has evolved to the point where, oh. 0:06:53.640 --> 0:06:55.560 He can go along with your spontaneity. 0:06:55.839 --> 0:06:59.520 I think he's a warm person actually, but he's all business. 0:06:59.600 --> 0:07:02.640 He's at the end. There's no games, there's no talking 0:07:02.680 --> 0:07:04.840 about how nice the weather is. All let's look at 0:07:04.839 --> 0:07:06.320 the stars, let's look at the sun. 0:07:06.440 --> 0:07:06.600 You know. 0:07:07.200 --> 0:07:09.080 Now, he's all he's all business. 0:07:09.160 --> 0:07:11.760 And that's I like that. I mean, that's a good thing. 0:07:12.400 --> 0:07:16.840 No games. I say about him, and I could say 0:07:16.840 --> 0:07:21.120 it about some not as complimentary frankly for the most part, 0:07:21.640 --> 0:07:24.560 but I say about him that if you went to 0:07:24.640 --> 0:07:28.000 Hollywood and you look for a leader of China to 0:07:28.120 --> 0:07:31.520 play a role in a movie, central casting, central casting, 0:07:31.520 --> 0:07:34.760 you wouldn't You couldn't find a guy like him. Even 0:07:34.800 --> 0:07:39.760 his physical features. You know, he's tall, very tall, and 0:07:40.880 --> 0:07:43.480 especially for this country because they tend to be a 0:07:43.520 --> 0:07:46.680 little bit shorter. You look at the military, I mean, 0:07:46.720 --> 0:07:50.000 the military today was incredible. That military marching was incredible. 0:07:50.560 --> 0:07:52.400 But no, if you went to Hollywood, you wouldn't find that. 0:07:52.720 --> 0:07:54.240 You're not going to find a guy to play the role. 0:07:54.320 --> 0:07:56.680 It's good, And he said, you know, I mean, I'll 0:07:56.720 --> 0:08:00.440 get criticized. They always criticized me when I say good things. 0:08:00.480 --> 0:08:07.120 About certain leaders and this one. But he's a leader 0:08:07.280 --> 0:08:11.840 for China. He's led almost one point five billion people 0:08:12.880 --> 0:08:16.920 for a long time and he's respected. It says sort 0:08:16.960 --> 0:08:20.800 of interesting. One the fake news said, he said, they'll 0:08:20.880 --> 0:08:25.200 say President Trump said that presidency was a brilliant leader. 0:08:25.640 --> 0:08:27.320 That's a terrible thing. What am I going to do? 0:08:27.840 --> 0:08:31.360 You know? But it's you know, you saw the response, 0:08:31.400 --> 0:08:35.960 you saw the and here's the thing. Those business people. 0:08:35.720 --> 0:08:38.040 Are here to make deals and to bring back jobs. 0:08:38.559 --> 0:08:41.160 They're bringing back massive you know, the China is going 0:08:41.240 --> 0:08:44.679 to invest hundreds of billions of dollars with those people 0:08:44.760 --> 0:08:47.280 that were in that room today. That's why they came. 0:08:48.120 --> 0:08:50.319 That's why they came. It was really an honor. We 0:08:50.400 --> 0:08:53.640 had every major just about every major business leader in there. 0:08:54.000 --> 0:08:56.720 No, I mean the list was impressive, that knows about 0:08:57.400 --> 0:09:01.360 So maybe to give people some insight into how you 0:09:01.600 --> 0:09:05.040 act in these situations. You're representing our country. You're the 0:09:05.120 --> 0:09:08.839 president of our country, and we get to watch you 0:09:08.960 --> 0:09:11.240 on a regular basis, something that the media did not 0:09:11.320 --> 0:09:12.640 get a lot of access. 0:09:12.280 --> 0:09:15.240 To when Joe Biden was president. But we watched you. 0:09:15.360 --> 0:09:18.000 We never did it, and when he did do it, 0:09:18.000 --> 0:09:21.120 it was a disaster almost. 0:09:20.800 --> 0:09:21.960 One hundred percent of the time. 0:09:22.280 --> 0:09:23.680 It was pretty much. 0:09:25.080 --> 0:09:27.439 It was a terrible thing for our country. Can't be 0:09:27.559 --> 0:09:31.920 represented like that. Our country was left at two years ago. 0:09:32.000 --> 0:09:35.720 Our country was left at. We felt like a stupid country. 0:09:35.840 --> 0:09:40.479 We were scorned, we were mocked, We were taken advantage 0:09:40.480 --> 0:09:44.000 of and trade and every other way. I mean, look 0:09:44.040 --> 0:09:47.640 at what happened with Afghanistan. We left all that, you know, 0:09:47.760 --> 0:09:51.520 billions of dollars of equipment behind, could have taken it. 0:09:52.640 --> 0:09:55.839 It was just unbelievable. There's no reason to do that, 0:09:56.160 --> 0:09:57.360 just all of a sudden leave it. 0:09:59.400 --> 0:10:03.320 No. We we were country with the highest inflation in history. 0:10:03.360 --> 0:10:05.400 You know, when they talk about high prices, I inherited 0:10:05.440 --> 0:10:06.920 the high prices. I'm getting them down. 0:10:06.960 --> 0:10:08.560 I've got them down incredibly. 0:10:08.679 --> 0:10:11.400 In fact, if I didn't make the little excursion to 0:10:12.760 --> 0:10:15.240 the country of Iran, I had to do it. We 0:10:15.400 --> 0:10:17.520 just sit the highest doock market ever, which by the way, 0:10:17.559 --> 0:10:20.000 now with the highest We're now higher than we were 0:10:20.040 --> 0:10:22.960 before the war started. And oil went up very little 0:10:23.040 --> 0:10:26.920 compared to what most people, even including me, I though 0:10:26.920 --> 0:10:29.480 it would go up more. But that was okay for 0:10:29.559 --> 0:10:32.959 a short period of time. Because we cannot let Iran 0:10:33.040 --> 0:10:35.160 have a nuclear weapon, they're crazy. 0:10:35.160 --> 0:10:35.920 I'm going to get to them. 0:10:36.040 --> 0:10:38.400 Can't let them have a nuclear weapon. They would use it. 0:10:39.040 --> 0:10:42.200 There'd be no Israel, there'd be no Middle East, there'd. 0:10:42.000 --> 0:10:42.640 Be no Europe. 0:10:43.760 --> 0:10:45.959 And they come with us too, because you know why 0:10:46.160 --> 0:10:46.959 they're crazy. 0:10:48.040 --> 0:10:49.280 I'm going to get back to Iran. 0:10:49.440 --> 0:10:51.679 Let me go to the media and Donald Trump and 0:10:51.760 --> 0:10:55.440 then the person and give people insight into the guy 0:10:55.520 --> 0:10:58.960 that sits in the room across from the leader of China. 0:10:59.240 --> 0:11:03.560 At one point five billion people. We watch you almost 0:11:03.679 --> 0:11:06.920 daily with the media, and I think you enjoy it. 0:11:07.160 --> 0:11:09.280 You bring them in, they have gaggles, you keep them 0:11:09.320 --> 0:11:10.400 there for a long period of time. 0:11:10.480 --> 0:11:12.880 Probably it's not that I enjoy it. You don't enjoy it. 0:11:13.200 --> 0:11:16.720 No, Well, every questions are killed. You know, they're always 0:11:16.760 --> 0:11:18.880 going for the kill every question. You see these people 0:11:18.920 --> 0:11:20.880 with the hatred. I said, you have such hatred when 0:11:20.880 --> 0:11:21.560 you ask the question. 0:11:21.640 --> 0:11:24.120 It wasn't because they have a strong border, because they. 0:11:24.000 --> 0:11:26.360 Have a good military. Why do you have such hatred? 0:11:26.400 --> 0:11:28.959 It's the whole thing is crazy. It's not that I 0:11:29.120 --> 0:11:31.839 enjoy it. It's that I can get the word out, 0:11:32.360 --> 0:11:34.439 because I don't get the word out. I mean look, 0:11:34.559 --> 0:11:37.040 Fox is great, and you know we have some good 0:11:37.080 --> 0:11:40.120 but overall, if you read the New York Times, you 0:11:40.200 --> 0:11:43.160 actually think we're losing or not doing well. 0:11:44.080 --> 0:11:47.920 In Iran, they have no navy, they have no air fort. 0:11:48.160 --> 0:11:51.320 It's all. It's gone. It's just a question of time. 0:11:51.880 --> 0:11:55.040 If we want, we stopped, could have gone for another 0:11:55.120 --> 0:11:56.920 few weeks, it would have been over. 0:11:57.720 --> 0:11:59.480 I did that at the request of a lot. 0:11:59.360 --> 0:12:02.720 Of leaders that are friendly with them. It's not going 0:12:02.800 --> 0:12:06.120 to matter for them. They're finished now. They can make 0:12:06.160 --> 0:12:09.760 a deal or they get annihilated. I don't want to 0:12:09.800 --> 0:12:12.839 do that. But we have the greatest military. And you 0:12:12.920 --> 0:12:18.400 know when you when you do loose conferences, you're getting 0:12:18.440 --> 0:12:20.439 the word out that you're not going to read in 0:12:20.520 --> 0:12:22.240 the New York Times. I mean I read these things. 0:12:22.280 --> 0:12:25.240 I see some of your other networks. The way they cover. 0:12:25.440 --> 0:12:28.599 They will take a massive military victory and make it 0:12:28.800 --> 0:12:32.080 like we should have done it faster. The one thing 0:12:32.120 --> 0:12:34.840 they couldn't complain about was Venezuela because it was over 0:12:34.960 --> 0:12:35.520 in one day. 0:12:36.480 --> 0:12:38.680 So we're comparing it to here's my question. 0:12:38.679 --> 0:12:41.440 You know, as an example, Vietnam that lasted for nineteen years. 0:12:42.320 --> 0:12:46.160 I think Iraq was ten years thousands and thousands of 0:12:46.200 --> 0:12:51.240 people told them many many thousands in Vietnam, and we have, sadly, 0:12:51.320 --> 0:12:52.679 we've lost in two wars. 0:12:52.720 --> 0:12:54.880 We've lost thirteen people thirteen. 0:12:55.440 --> 0:12:57.920 It's thirteen people too many, but we've lost thirteen as 0:12:57.960 --> 0:13:02.280 opposed to seventy five thousand, as opposed to fifty thousand, 0:13:03.040 --> 0:13:06.079 as opposed to numbers that are staggering. Think of it, 0:13:06.280 --> 0:13:10.959 when nineteen years in Vietnam were every war where four years, 0:13:11.040 --> 0:13:16.439 eight years, nine years, Iraq was ten years. We're all 0:13:16.520 --> 0:13:21.079 these was I've neffer like a couple of months and 0:13:21.200 --> 0:13:24.400 the Navy's gone. They have one hundred and fifty nine ships. 0:13:24.920 --> 0:13:28.640 Every single one of them is now happily floating or 0:13:28.720 --> 0:13:30.960 not floating at the bottom of the sea, no every where. 0:13:32.240 --> 0:13:34.400 They have no air force. They had a nice air force. 0:13:34.520 --> 0:13:37.480 They don't anymore. They have no air force. They have 0:13:37.600 --> 0:13:41.079 no anti aircraft. Now they probably have. I mean, we 0:13:41.520 --> 0:13:43.520 know everything they've done. They've built it up a little bit, 0:13:43.600 --> 0:13:45.760 we'll take it out in one day. It'll all be gone. 0:13:46.360 --> 0:13:50.319 I hope they're watching because all of their anti stuff, anything. 0:13:50.040 --> 0:13:52.080 They put up, we know exactly what they put up. 0:13:52.080 --> 0:13:54.440 You know, they had a little respite and so they're 0:13:54.440 --> 0:13:56.520 trying to get a few things together that have taken 0:13:56.600 --> 0:13:57.880 some missiles from underground. 0:13:58.000 --> 0:14:00.920 We know exactly what they're doing be gone in one day. 0:14:01.520 --> 0:14:04.079 Everything they've done for the last four weeks will be 0:14:04.160 --> 0:14:07.719 gone in one day. But when you read some of 0:14:07.840 --> 0:14:11.520 these horrible papers. So if you watch CNN as an example, 0:14:12.160 --> 0:14:15.439 or that other one, they used to go to MSDNC, 0:14:15.640 --> 0:14:18.959 now it's miss now and they got rid of it 0:14:19.040 --> 0:14:20.440 because it was such an embarrassment. 0:14:20.560 --> 0:14:24.160 Get snow ratings. CNN has just been destroyed. 0:14:24.440 --> 0:14:25.200 You're pretty funny. 0:14:25.240 --> 0:14:26.880 The other day you were in the Oval office and 0:14:26.960 --> 0:14:29.800 you go, you know, I think, whatever I want to do, 0:14:30.080 --> 0:14:31.280 I'm going to see the opposite. 0:14:31.640 --> 0:14:33.520 Then then I'll get what I took me a while 0:14:33.640 --> 0:14:36.120 get it. But by the way, there's probably some no. 0:14:36.240 --> 0:14:38.960 No, I'm going to announce what I don't want, I'll 0:14:39.000 --> 0:14:41.640 be able to get it. They'll immediately like I'll say, 0:14:42.160 --> 0:14:45.240 we will not build a wall. We will not under 0:14:45.480 --> 0:14:47.840 Because I built over a thousand miles of wall, people 0:14:47.920 --> 0:14:50.800 don't even talk about it. We have the safest southern 0:14:50.880 --> 0:14:52.960 border in the history of our country. We have the 0:14:53.040 --> 0:14:55.400 safest border in the world other than North Carrier. I 0:14:55.520 --> 0:14:57.560 tell you, North Korea has a pretty safe border. They've 0:14:57.560 --> 0:15:00.320 got five fences that are full of electry. You're at 0:15:00.360 --> 0:15:03.480 that border that was there's never been anyone. There was 0:15:03.680 --> 0:15:07.600 one person that got through, but he ended up dying 0:15:07.640 --> 0:15:09.240 about ten feet as he got through. 0:15:10.240 --> 0:15:12.080 I will have more with President Trump on the other 0:15:12.160 --> 0:15:15.080 side as we continue tonight from Beijing, China. 0:15:17.200 --> 0:15:19.640 More Hannity, less big government. 0:15:20.000 --> 0:15:22.480 This is the Sean Hannity Show. 0:15:24.840 --> 0:15:27.560 All right, we continue my interview with President Trump for 0:15:27.600 --> 0:15:29.840 a full hour. Now, of course, this was right after 0:15:29.920 --> 0:15:33.320 his all important meeting with President she As we continue 0:15:33.360 --> 0:15:38.800 our interview, let me go to the issue of trade tariffs, 0:15:39.120 --> 0:15:43.560 intellectual property theft. I'm sure, especially with all those big 0:15:43.600 --> 0:15:48.040 business people you brought in, those are big. Any progress 0:15:48.160 --> 0:15:49.040 you can report. 0:15:48.840 --> 0:15:49.960 Yeah, I mean it is progress. 0:15:50.000 --> 0:15:53.200 But I also tell people that, you know, I was 0:15:53.280 --> 0:15:56.600 in an interview with a very bad, stupid reporter. She 0:15:56.720 --> 0:15:59.880 works for CBS. You said that sixty minutes stupid person, 0:16:00.320 --> 0:16:02.720 just an average person. You could take anybody off the 0:16:02.760 --> 0:16:04.840 street and it'd be as good as she is, you know, 0:16:05.040 --> 0:16:09.520 just very average. And she asked me a question. She's 0:16:09.560 --> 0:16:14.440 talked about China this and that they steal this and 0:16:14.520 --> 0:16:17.920 they steal that. And I said, yeah, we do it 0:16:18.000 --> 0:16:20.840 to them too. You know, they spy on us. They said, 0:16:20.880 --> 0:16:23.640 we inspire them too. I guess, you know. So some 0:16:23.760 --> 0:16:26.520 people thought that was cute. Other people said, you don't 0:16:26.520 --> 0:16:29.280 have to say that. They said, I sort of do. No, 0:16:29.480 --> 0:16:33.080 we have We do things and they do things, and 0:16:33.280 --> 0:16:35.560 that's the way it is now. With that being sad, 0:16:36.400 --> 0:16:40.040 I spoke to him very strongly about that, and I'd 0:16:40.160 --> 0:16:42.320 like to see it taken care of. 0:16:42.680 --> 0:16:48.080 But they've been doing that for fifty years, and. 0:16:48.160 --> 0:16:53.560 We see all is way down coming into the country 0:16:53.600 --> 0:16:56.280 for two reasons. A border strong, but it's also down 0:16:56.320 --> 0:16:58.200 because they're sending with us. You know, we texted them. 0:16:58.240 --> 0:17:03.000 I gave my twenty percent tier, and because of fentanyl, 0:17:03.160 --> 0:17:05.040 was like a it's like a penalty. 0:17:05.840 --> 0:17:06.639 Nobody ever did that. 0:17:06.840 --> 0:17:08.720 You didn't know that. Probably I gave them a twenty 0:17:08.800 --> 0:17:13.080 percent tariff because they're sending vental. It's a huge amount 0:17:13.119 --> 0:17:15.720 of money. I actually said, you know, the tariff is 0:17:15.800 --> 0:17:21.119 costing your two hundred billion dollars and you make two 0:17:21.240 --> 0:17:25.320 hundred billion dollars much less a small percentage from the 0:17:25.480 --> 0:17:28.240 sale I think from the sale of the fenol. And 0:17:29.240 --> 0:17:32.560 so Fentanyl's used for a lot of different reasons, but 0:17:32.720 --> 0:17:35.720 the bad reason probably outweighs the good. 0:17:35.840 --> 0:17:37.840 You know that sentinels used for a lot of you 0:17:38.119 --> 0:17:39.160 go into ventanyl. 0:17:39.760 --> 0:17:43.400 It's used for a lot of different things, including operations, 0:17:43.480 --> 0:17:44.320 et cetera, et cetera. 0:17:44.440 --> 0:17:47.360 But it's been a disaster. 0:17:48.080 --> 0:17:51.720 But as you know, I put on a charge of 0:17:52.240 --> 0:17:55.359 twenty percent of tariff for twenty percent, that's a nobody 0:17:55.359 --> 0:17:59.439 else would do that. And we do well with China, 0:17:59.480 --> 0:18:02.359 and I think both do well. These people are really 0:18:02.400 --> 0:18:05.200 what I'd like to see. I'd like to see China 0:18:05.280 --> 0:18:07.840 doesn't open the country. It's massive, It's a massive It 0:18:07.880 --> 0:18:10.760 would be unbelievable for our companies if they opened it, 0:18:10.880 --> 0:18:11.399 and I think it. 0:18:11.400 --> 0:18:14.760 Would be good for China to the indication they will open, well, 0:18:14.760 --> 0:18:15.159 they're going to. 0:18:15.160 --> 0:18:17.320 Open some of it. Yeah, they open it in stages. 0:18:17.359 --> 0:18:19.840 I'd like to just see him open it. But you know, 0:18:19.960 --> 0:18:23.800 they guard their country and they he cherishes his country. 0:18:23.840 --> 0:18:26.000 He wants to take you know, he wants China. 0:18:26.280 --> 0:18:28.200 To be you know, what does he what does he 0:18:28.280 --> 0:18:28.720 want from you? 0:18:28.840 --> 0:18:30.720 What? He was the greatest phrase of all time? But 0:18:31.359 --> 0:18:35.720 from similar what does he want from the US? A 0:18:35.840 --> 0:18:38.080 lot of things we talked about. We talked about a 0:18:38.119 --> 0:18:40.760 lot of things. Too many things to discuss. 0:18:40.440 --> 0:18:41.560 But a lot of things. 0:18:41.600 --> 0:18:44.000 We had a very good meeting, but we want things 0:18:44.080 --> 0:18:47.919 from them. One thing he agreed to today is going 0:18:47.960 --> 0:18:50.800 to order two hundred jets. That's a big thing. Boeing 0:18:51.000 --> 0:18:54.520 owing two hundred big ones. It's a lot of jobs. 0:18:54.560 --> 0:18:57.040 It's a lot Boeing want at one hundred and fifty. 0:18:57.080 --> 0:19:02.280 You got two hundred. Uh he said, sort of. I 0:19:02.320 --> 0:19:03.800 think it was a commitment. I mean, you know, it 0:19:03.960 --> 0:19:05.800 sort of like a statement, but I think it was 0:19:05.880 --> 0:19:08.359 a commitment. It's a great thing. It's a lot of jobs. 0:19:09.560 --> 0:19:13.080 Boeing's doing a good job. They're catching up. They're catching up. 0:19:13.440 --> 0:19:18.320 The requests were a lot, and our requests were allowed. 0:19:18.359 --> 0:19:21.240 We requested for a lot. We have Visa, which is 0:19:21.320 --> 0:19:23.359 not allowed to trade, and they were there. It was 0:19:23.359 --> 0:19:26.560 a big company and other companies are allowed to trade. 0:19:26.600 --> 0:19:30.840 And I said, what about letting Visa. We had the 0:19:30.880 --> 0:19:32.800 head of Visa there today. By the way, Visa is 0:19:32.800 --> 0:19:36.520 a big deal. I said, what about using Visa in China? 0:19:36.840 --> 0:19:40.960 For some reason, they were black balled and maybe that'll 0:19:41.000 --> 0:19:42.720 come off. So we had a lot of you know 0:19:42.960 --> 0:19:45.119 we were in there for a few hours, right, a 0:19:45.160 --> 0:19:45.640 long time. 0:19:45.800 --> 0:19:48.440 Do you think you made progress? Did you feel like 0:19:49.119 --> 0:19:51.040 that the give and take? 0:19:51.760 --> 0:19:53.640 Well, for example, you're not going to sign this big 0:19:53.720 --> 0:19:57.680 agreement after hours meeting, but do you feel the foundation 0:19:57.960 --> 0:19:58.760 was laid for. 0:20:00.920 --> 0:20:02.320 Better than the last time? I mean the last time 0:20:02.359 --> 0:20:05.440 we signed like thirty six deals. This time it's much 0:20:05.480 --> 0:20:11.560 bigger than that. Talked about soybeans for our farmers. They're 0:20:11.560 --> 0:20:13.520 going to do a lot of sward beans for our farmers. 0:20:13.960 --> 0:20:16.440 They're gonna they're going to be buying a lot of 0:20:16.480 --> 0:20:19.879 our farm product, which is great. You know, they have 0:20:19.960 --> 0:20:24.040 an unlimited appetite, as the expressions, they can buy as 0:20:24.119 --> 0:20:26.800 much as they when you have that many people, they 0:20:26.880 --> 0:20:28.800
