Speaker 1: Hey, welcome to the Sean Hannity Show. It's Mark Simone
Speaker 1: from our big flag ship wr here in New York.
Speaker 1: Shawn will be back on Monday. But we got a big,
Speaker 1: full show for you today. We had a lot of
Speaker 1: great guests coming up. We got all of our favorite guests.
Speaker 1: We're going to take your calls. We're going to talk
Speaker 1: about lots of stuff. We're also this hour going to
Speaker 1: hear the big interview Sean Hannity on the China trip
Speaker 1: with President Trump. Flew over there with him, is on
Speaker 1: his way back right now. I hate to break it
Speaker 1: to you, it's like a sixteen hour flight, seventeen hour flight.
Speaker 1: It's brutal, but it's not like a regular flight. We're
Speaker 1: sitting next to some insurance man from Kansas City. You're
Speaker 1: on a flight with Tim Cook. You're on a flight
Speaker 1: with the twenty biggest global financial geniuses in the world.
Speaker 1: And it's great. But on this trip, the big, big moment,
Speaker 1: Sean Hannity's interview, exclusive interview with the President of the
Speaker 1: United States. Let's take a listen to it right now.
Speaker 2: Thank you so much for sitting down your first interview.
Speaker 2: We appreciate it. Wow, they rolled out the red carpet.
Speaker 2: I have a video of when Barack Hussein Obama came
Speaker 2: to China. There wasn't as much pageantry. From your perspective,
Speaker 2: that welcome.
Speaker 3: What did that? How did you interpret that?
Speaker 4: Well, we have a relationship, he and I, and we've
Speaker 4: been working together a long time. We've gotten along well.
Speaker 4: When I first came here, China was really taking advantage
Speaker 4: of the United States. He understands it, and now we
Speaker 4: do great with China and we have a very good relationship.
Speaker 4: We have a friendship. Really. He's a tremendous leader. He's
Speaker 4: been here a long time, very powerful, very strong, there's
Speaker 4: no doubt about it. And we just have a good relationship.
Speaker 4: I did actually see other people arrive here. They're not
Speaker 4: treated so well, but we were treated very well.
Speaker 3: So that that was meaningful for you.
Speaker 4: Well, I mean, if I got out of a plane
Speaker 4: and nobody was there, a great man would say, that
Speaker 4: wouldn't be so cool, because it's really respect for our country.
Speaker 5: Our country is respected.
Speaker 4: Look with the hottest country right now anywhere in the world.
Speaker 4: But he and I know each other well I think
Speaker 4: beyond maybe that, but we certainly got a very nice
Speaker 4: greeting and today was beautiful.
Speaker 2: As the president, if there was any meeting that I
Speaker 2: think I want to be a part of, I would
Speaker 2: love to have been in that meeting rather than me
Speaker 2: start with a bunch of questions about this and that.
Speaker 3: And I do have a specific question, in your own words.
Speaker 2: How did this meeting go? Because I knew you were
Speaker 2: there a long time.
Speaker 4: It was a long meeting. It started off interestingly because
Speaker 4: they're very organized people. And as you know, we have
Speaker 4: about thirty of the biggest business leaders in the world,
Speaker 4: the biggest everything, you know, I mean you name it,
Speaker 4: from chips to planes to everything, and they're all here.
Speaker 4: I didn't invite them. They all wanted to come, and
Speaker 4: they're all here, and I suggested that I've always go
Speaker 4: at the meeting, I'd like to introduce them to you.
Speaker 4: And they were surprised because it wasn't you.
Speaker 5: Know, it wasn't scheduled. And they looked around.
Speaker 4: They said, well, and then, uh, you know, we had everybody.
Speaker 4: I don't want to go into names because I'll leave
Speaker 4: some out, but there were a lot of guys.
Speaker 2: Let him cook, a lot of peoples, you know, we
Speaker 2: had we had.
Speaker 4: Everybody had the video and we had just everybody and
Speaker 4: men and women, all all great business and the best.
Speaker 4: And they said okay, and they spoke a little bit
Speaker 4: and introduced themselves. It's interesting because they do business and
Speaker 4: shad most of them do business here, but probably like
Speaker 4: to do more. And I'd like to see them do more.
Speaker 4: That would be good for trade and trade balance. And
Speaker 4: they were fantastic, I'll tell you, they really had a
Speaker 4: good time. Once they once the Chinese leadership because it
Speaker 4: was it was presidency and many other leaders. Once they
Speaker 4: got used to the fact that we're a little off
Speaker 4: schedule here and we're talking about a subject that wasn't
Speaker 4: even thought about. But they were outside, I said, I
Speaker 4: think we can get them in five minutes because they
Speaker 4: were literally, you know, a few minutes away from the
Speaker 4: room where we were in the Great Hall. We were
Speaker 4: in the Great Hall, and they came in and they
Speaker 4: did fantastically well. It was really good. I think it was.
Speaker 5: He actually said, that was very good.
Speaker 4: That was a good idea, but it was very different
Speaker 4: from what the schedule had And then we went on.
Speaker 4: Now we talked about a lot of different subjects and.
Speaker 5: I think it was all good.
Speaker 2: Let me ask you this, you know, you always say
Speaker 2: that you have a very good relationship with President she
Speaker 2: and you say the same thing about Vladimir Putin. You
Speaker 2: were America first. You shouldn't always understand he's going to
Speaker 2: be China first.
Speaker 4: Yeah, totally, and so is he's China for us who
Speaker 4: wants to make good deals. But having a good relationship
Speaker 4: is a good thing, not a bad I explained to people.
Speaker 4: You know, it's great when you have good relationships with
Speaker 4: very powerful countries that powerful economically as well as we
Speaker 4: have the most I built in my first term the
Speaker 4: greatest military in the world. We have the greatest military
Speaker 4: in the world. We proved that with Venezuela. We proved
Speaker 4: it with the Wren. Wren's wiped out militarily, just a
Speaker 4: question of time. And you know, we gave them a
Speaker 4: break by stopping a little while we have a blockade.
Speaker 4: They have no boats, are going in, no boats or
Speaker 4: event thinking about We talked about it today. It's very interesting,
Speaker 4: but they're impressed. We have a great military. We have
Speaker 4: the greatest military we've ever had, But we have the
Speaker 4: greatest military anywhere in the world. I built it the
Speaker 4: first term. A little was given away by Biden to Afghanistan,
Speaker 4: and as much as it was, it was a lot,
Speaker 4: but it's a very little compared to what we have now.
Speaker 4: We have a country that is respected. Our country two
Speaker 4: years ago. If if Biden came here, I don't even
Speaker 4: think he would get a meeting with presidency.
Speaker 5: I don't think they'd even meet with him.
Speaker 3: I don't know focused long enough and you know what.
Speaker 4: He wouldn't come here. But assuming he came, I don't
Speaker 4: know that it even haven't mean it's amazing. Actually, a
Speaker 4: lot of people I noticed, even with the business leaders
Speaker 4: said the biggest businessmen of the women and women, A
Speaker 4: couple of women and most of them, almost all them,
Speaker 4: but most of them never met President She. This was
Speaker 4: the first time they've met her, so they found it exciting.
Speaker 4: They all performed very well. They all spoke and I said,
Speaker 4: it's a little different position for them because they had
Speaker 4: stuff back in our country. But here they are there
Speaker 4: standing in front of this massive country, the leadership. But
Speaker 4: they've really performed well.
Speaker 2: You have in the past described President She to me
Speaker 2: as very tough, all business. You're not describing the type
Speaker 2: of business that he normally used to do. Do you
Speaker 2: think that your relationship has evolved to the point where, oh.
Speaker 3: He can go along with your spontaneity.
Speaker 4: I think he's a warm person actually, but he's all business.
Speaker 4: He's at the end. There's no games, there's no talking
Speaker 4: about how nice the weather is. All let's look at
Speaker 4: the stars, let's look at the sun.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 5: Now, he's all he's all business.
Speaker 4: And that's I like that. I mean, that's a good thing.
Speaker 4: No games. I say about him, and I could say
Speaker 4: it about some not as complimentary frankly for the most part,
Speaker 4: but I say about him that if you went to
Speaker 4: Hollywood and you look for a leader of China to
Speaker 4: play a role in a movie, central casting, central casting,
Speaker 4: you wouldn't You couldn't find a guy like him. Even
Speaker 4: his physical features. You know, he's tall, very tall, and
Speaker 4: especially for this country because they tend to be a
Speaker 4: little bit shorter. You look at the military, I mean,
Speaker 4: the military today was incredible. That military marching was incredible.
Speaker 4: But no, if you went to Hollywood, you wouldn't find that.
Speaker 4: You're not going to find a guy to play the role.
Speaker 4: It's good, And he said, you know, I mean, I'll
Speaker 4: get criticized. They always criticized me when I say good things.
Speaker 4: About certain leaders and this one. But he's a leader
Speaker 4: for China. He's led almost one point five billion people
Speaker 4: for a long time and he's respected. It says sort
Speaker 4: of interesting. One the fake news said, he said, they'll
Speaker 4: say President Trump said that presidency was a brilliant leader.
Speaker 4: That's a terrible thing. What am I going to do?
Speaker 4: You know? But it's you know, you saw the response,
Speaker 4: you saw the and here's the thing. Those business people.
Speaker 5: Are here to make deals and to bring back jobs.
Speaker 4: They're bringing back massive you know, the China is going
Speaker 4: to invest hundreds of billions of dollars with those people
Speaker 4: that were in that room today. That's why they came.
Speaker 4: That's why they came. It was really an honor. We
Speaker 4: had every major just about every major business leader in there.
Speaker 2: No, I mean the list was impressive, that knows about
Speaker 2: So maybe to give people some insight into how you
Speaker 2: act in these situations. You're representing our country. You're the
Speaker 2: president of our country, and we get to watch you
Speaker 2: on a regular basis, something that the media did not
Speaker 2: get a lot of access.
Speaker 3: To when Joe Biden was president. But we watched you.
Speaker 5: We never did it, and when he did do it,
Speaker 5: it was a disaster almost.
Speaker 4: One hundred percent of the time.
Speaker 3: It was pretty much.
Speaker 4: It was a terrible thing for our country. Can't be
Speaker 4: represented like that. Our country was left at two years ago.
Speaker 4: Our country was left at. We felt like a stupid country.
Speaker 4: We were scorned, we were mocked, We were taken advantage
Speaker 4: of and trade and every other way. I mean, look
Speaker 4: at what happened with Afghanistan. We left all that, you know,
Speaker 4: billions of dollars of equipment behind, could have taken it.
Speaker 5: It was just unbelievable. There's no reason to do that,
Speaker 5: just all of a sudden leave it.
Speaker 4: No. We we were country with the highest inflation in history.
Speaker 4: You know, when they talk about high prices, I inherited
Speaker 4: the high prices. I'm getting them down.
Speaker 5: I've got them down incredibly.
Speaker 4: In fact, if I didn't make the little excursion to
Speaker 4: the country of Iran, I had to do it. We
Speaker 4: just sit the highest doock market ever, which by the way,
Speaker 4: now with the highest We're now higher than we were
Speaker 4: before the war started. And oil went up very little
Speaker 4: compared to what most people, even including me, I though
Speaker 4: it would go up more. But that was okay for
Speaker 4: a short period of time. Because we cannot let Iran
Speaker 4: have a nuclear weapon, they're crazy.
Speaker 3: I'm going to get to them.
Speaker 4: Can't let them have a nuclear weapon. They would use it.
Speaker 4: There'd be no Israel, there'd be no Middle East, there'd.
Speaker 3: Be no Europe.
Speaker 5: And they come with us too, because you know why
Speaker 5: they're crazy.
Speaker 3: I'm going to get back to Iran.
Speaker 2: Let me go to the media and Donald Trump and
Speaker 2: then the person and give people insight into the guy
Speaker 2: that sits in the room across from the leader of China.
Speaker 2: At one point five billion people. We watch you almost
Speaker 2: daily with the media, and I think you enjoy it.
Speaker 2: You bring them in, they have gaggles, you keep them
Speaker 2: there for a long period of time.
Speaker 3: Probably it's not that I enjoy it. You don't enjoy it.
Speaker 4: No, Well, every questions are killed. You know, they're always
Speaker 4: going for the kill every question. You see these people
Speaker 4: with the hatred. I said, you have such hatred when
Speaker 4: you ask the question.
Speaker 5: It wasn't because they have a strong border, because they.
Speaker 4: Have a good military. Why do you have such hatred?
Speaker 4: It's the whole thing is crazy. It's not that I
Speaker 4: enjoy it. It's that I can get the word out,
Speaker 4: because I don't get the word out. I mean look,
Speaker 4: Fox is great, and you know we have some good
Speaker 4: but overall, if you read the New York Times, you
Speaker 4: actually think we're losing or not doing well.
Speaker 5: In Iran, they have no navy, they have no air fort.
Speaker 4: It's all. It's gone. It's just a question of time.
Speaker 4: If we want, we stopped, could have gone for another
Speaker 4: few weeks, it would have been over.
Speaker 5: I did that at the request of a lot.
Speaker 4: Of leaders that are friendly with them. It's not going
Speaker 4: to matter for them. They're finished now. They can make
Speaker 4: a deal or they get annihilated. I don't want to
Speaker 4: do that. But we have the greatest military. And you
Speaker 4: know when you when you do loose conferences, you're getting
Speaker 4: the word out that you're not going to read in
Speaker 4: the New York Times. I mean I read these things.
Speaker 4: I see some of your other networks. The way they cover.
Speaker 4: They will take a massive military victory and make it
Speaker 4: like we should have done it faster. The one thing
Speaker 4: they couldn't complain about was Venezuela because it was over
Speaker 4: in one day.
Speaker 3: So we're comparing it to here's my question.
Speaker 4: You know, as an example, Vietnam that lasted for nineteen years.
Speaker 4: I think Iraq was ten years thousands and thousands of
Speaker 4: people told them many many thousands in Vietnam, and we have, sadly,
Speaker 4: we've lost in two wars.
Speaker 5: We've lost thirteen people thirteen.
Speaker 4: It's thirteen people too many, but we've lost thirteen as
Speaker 4: opposed to seventy five thousand, as opposed to fifty thousand,
Speaker 4: as opposed to numbers that are staggering. Think of it,
Speaker 4: when nineteen years in Vietnam were every war where four years,
Speaker 4: eight years, nine years, Iraq was ten years. We're all
Speaker 4: these was I've neffer like a couple of months and
Speaker 4: the Navy's gone. They have one hundred and fifty nine ships.
Speaker 4: Every single one of them is now happily floating or
Speaker 4: not floating at the bottom of the sea, no every where.
Speaker 4: They have no air force. They had a nice air force.
Speaker 4: They don't anymore. They have no air force. They have
Speaker 4: no anti aircraft. Now they probably have. I mean, we
Speaker 4: know everything they've done. They've built it up a little bit,
Speaker 4: we'll take it out in one day. It'll all be gone.
Speaker 5: I hope they're watching because all of their anti stuff, anything.
Speaker 4: They put up, we know exactly what they put up.
Speaker 4: You know, they had a little respite and so they're
Speaker 4: trying to get a few things together that have taken
Speaker 4: some missiles from underground.
Speaker 5: We know exactly what they're doing be gone in one day.
Speaker 4: Everything they've done for the last four weeks will be
Speaker 4: gone in one day. But when you read some of
Speaker 4: these horrible papers. So if you watch CNN as an example,
Speaker 4: or that other one, they used to go to MSDNC,
Speaker 4: now it's miss now and they got rid of it
Speaker 4: because it was such an embarrassment.
Speaker 5: Get snow ratings. CNN has just been destroyed.
Speaker 3: You're pretty funny.
Speaker 2: The other day you were in the Oval office and
Speaker 2: you go, you know, I think, whatever I want to do,
Speaker 2: I'm going to see the opposite.
Speaker 3: Then then I'll get what I took me a while
Speaker 3: get it. But by the way, there's probably some no.
Speaker 4: No, I'm going to announce what I don't want, I'll
Speaker 4: be able to get it. They'll immediately like I'll say,
Speaker 4: we will not build a wall. We will not under
Speaker 4: Because I built over a thousand miles of wall, people
Speaker 4: don't even talk about it. We have the safest southern
Speaker 4: border in the history of our country. We have the
Speaker 4: safest border in the world other than North Carrier. I
Speaker 4: tell you, North Korea has a pretty safe border. They've
Speaker 4: got five fences that are full of electry. You're at
Speaker 4: that border that was there's never been anyone. There was
Speaker 4: one person that got through, but he ended up dying
Speaker 4: about ten feet as he got through.
Speaker 2: I will have more with President Trump on the other
Speaker 2: side as we continue tonight from Beijing, China.
Speaker 4: More Hannity, less big government.
Speaker 1: This is the Sean Hannity Show.
Speaker 2: All right, we continue my interview with President Trump for
Speaker 2: a full hour. Now, of course, this was right after
Speaker 2: his all important meeting with President she As we continue
Speaker 2: our interview, let me go to the issue of trade tariffs,
Speaker 2: intellectual property theft. I'm sure, especially with all those big
Speaker 2: business people you brought in, those are big. Any progress
Speaker 2: you can report.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean it is progress.
Speaker 4: But I also tell people that, you know, I was
Speaker 4: in an interview with a very bad, stupid reporter. She
Speaker 4: works for CBS. You said that sixty minutes stupid person,
Speaker 4: just an average person. You could take anybody off the
Speaker 4: street and it'd be as good as she is, you know,
Speaker 4: just very average. And she asked me a question. She's
Speaker 4: talked about China this and that they steal this and
Speaker 4: they steal that. And I said, yeah, we do it
Speaker 4: to them too. You know, they spy on us. They said,
Speaker 4: we inspire them too. I guess, you know. So some
Speaker 4: people thought that was cute. Other people said, you don't
Speaker 4: have to say that. They said, I sort of do. No,
Speaker 4: we have We do things and they do things, and
Speaker 4: that's the way it is now. With that being sad,
Speaker 4: I spoke to him very strongly about that, and I'd
Speaker 4: like to see it taken care of.
Speaker 5: But they've been doing that for fifty years, and.
Speaker 4: We see all is way down coming into the country
Speaker 4: for two reasons. A border strong, but it's also down
Speaker 4: because they're sending with us. You know, we texted them.
Speaker 4: I gave my twenty percent tier, and because of fentanyl,
Speaker 4: was like a it's like a penalty.
Speaker 5: Nobody ever did that.
Speaker 4: You didn't know that. Probably I gave them a twenty
Speaker 4: percent tariff because they're sending vental. It's a huge amount
Speaker 4: of money. I actually said, you know, the tariff is
Speaker 4: costing your two hundred billion dollars and you make two
Speaker 4: hundred billion dollars much less a small percentage from the
Speaker 4: sale I think from the sale of the fenol. And
Speaker 4: so Fentanyl's used for a lot of different reasons, but
Speaker 4: the bad reason probably outweighs the good.
Speaker 5: You know that sentinels used for a lot of you
Speaker 5: go into ventanyl.
Speaker 4: It's used for a lot of different things, including operations,
Speaker 4: et cetera, et cetera.
Speaker 5: But it's been a disaster.
Speaker 4: But as you know, I put on a charge of
Speaker 4: twenty percent of tariff for twenty percent, that's a nobody
Speaker 4: else would do that. And we do well with China,
Speaker 4: and I think both do well. These people are really
Speaker 4: what I'd like to see. I'd like to see China
Speaker 4: doesn't open the country. It's massive, It's a massive It
Speaker 4: would be unbelievable for our companies if they opened it,
Speaker 4: and I think it.
Speaker 2: Would be good for China to the indication they will open, well,
Speaker 2: they're going to.
Speaker 4: Open some of it. Yeah, they open it in stages.
Speaker 4: I'd like to just see him open it. But you know,
Speaker 4: they guard their country and they he cherishes his country.
Speaker 4: He wants to take you know, he wants China.
Speaker 3: To be you know, what does he what does he
Speaker 3: want from you?
Speaker 4: What? He was the greatest phrase of all time? But
Speaker 4: from similar what does he want from the US? A
Speaker 4: lot of things we talked about. We talked about a
Speaker 4: lot of things. Too many things to discuss.
Speaker 3: But a lot of things.
Speaker 4: We had a very good meeting, but we want things
Speaker 4: from them. One thing he agreed to today is going
Speaker 4: to order two hundred jets. That's a big thing. Boeing
Speaker 4: owing two hundred big ones. It's a lot of jobs.
Speaker 4: It's a lot Boeing want at one hundred and fifty.
Speaker 4: You got two hundred. Uh he said, sort of. I
Speaker 4: think it was a commitment. I mean, you know, it
Speaker 4: sort of like a statement, but I think it was
Speaker 4: a commitment. It's a great thing. It's a lot of jobs.
Speaker 4: Boeing's doing a good job. They're catching up. They're catching up.
Speaker 4: The requests were a lot, and our requests were allowed.
Speaker 4: We requested for a lot. We have Visa, which is
Speaker 4: not allowed to trade, and they were there. It was
Speaker 4: a big company and other companies are allowed to trade.
Speaker 4: And I said, what about letting Visa. We had the
Speaker 4: head of Visa there today. By the way, Visa is
Speaker 4: a big deal. I said, what about using Visa in China?
Speaker 4: For some reason, they were black balled and maybe that'll
Speaker 4: come off. So we had a lot of you know
Speaker 4: we were in there for a few hours, right, a
Speaker 4: long time.
Speaker 3: Do you think you made progress? Did you feel like
Speaker 3: that the give and take?
Speaker 2: Well, for example, you're not going to sign this big
Speaker 2: agreement after hours meeting, but do you feel the foundation
Speaker 2: was laid for.
Speaker 4: Better than the last time? I mean the last time
Speaker 4: we signed like thirty six deals. This time it's much
Speaker 4: bigger than that. Talked about soybeans for our farmers. They're
Speaker 4: going to do a lot of sward beans for our farmers.
Speaker 4: They're gonna they're going to be buying a lot of
Speaker 4: our farm product, which is great. You know, they have
Speaker 4: an unlimited appetite, as the expressions, they can buy as
Speaker 4: much as they when you have that many people, they
Speaker 4: need it. And we have the best product with the
Speaker 4: best some of the best of everything, and they'll be
Speaker 4: doing that. Very farmer to me is very You know,
Speaker 4: I must have gotten ninety five percent of the farm vote.
Speaker 4: And by the way, we just signed the farm bill,
Speaker 4: or we just approved the farm bill in Congress, which
Speaker 4: a lot of people thought was not going to happen.
Speaker 4: You know, the Democrats are against farmers, you believe, I say,
Speaker 4: how could they be? Because add that to the men
Speaker 4: and women's sports. The Democrats are against farmers. Can you
Speaker 4: believe it? So anyway they're defective.
Speaker 2: Let me ask you this the issue, and you've been
Speaker 2: asked about it, and you've spoken about it, and that
Speaker 2: is China's support.
Speaker 3: Of a ran. How big a discussion was that today?
Speaker 4: We discussed it. I mean when you say support, they're
Speaker 4: not fighting a war with us or anything.
Speaker 5: No, he said, he's not.
Speaker 4: Going to give military equipment. That's a big statement. He
Speaker 4: said that today. That's a big statement. Said that strongly.
Speaker 4: But at the same time, he said, you know, they
Speaker 4: buy a lot of their oil there. I'd like to
Speaker 4: keep doing that. He'd like to see Hormost straight opened.
Speaker 4: I said, well, we didn't stop it. They did it,
Speaker 4: then we stopped them. You know, sort of interesting, he joked.
Speaker 4: He said, you know, it's sort of it. They stopped it,
Speaker 4: then you stopped them. But they'd like to see it opened.
Speaker 4: But they actually closed it. He didn't like the fact
Speaker 4: that they're charging tolls. I don't know if they are not,
Speaker 4: I don't know who would pay them. I mean, where
Speaker 4: do they put the money of the country's decimated, you know,
Speaker 4: the charging tolls, where's the money going.
Speaker 2: Do you think President she and China have the ability
Speaker 2: to influence the Iranians considering they are one of their
Speaker 2: biggest But.
Speaker 4: Look, he's not coming in with guns, he's not coming
Speaker 4: in with ratus and not coming in shooting. You know,
Speaker 4: somebody said he's been he's been very good. They get
Speaker 4: a lot of their o for of their oil from
Speaker 4: that location. So what has happened? And one thing I
Speaker 4: think that we were going to make a deal on
Speaker 4: he's they've agreed they want to buy oil from the
Speaker 4: United States. They're going to go to Texas. We're going
Speaker 4: to start sending Chinese ships to Texas and to Louisiana
Speaker 4: and to Alaska.
Speaker 5: And I think that was another thing that was agreed to.
Speaker 5: That's a big thing.
Speaker 3: What about Liqui that's not that much longer.
Speaker 4: Yeah, everything Energy.
Speaker 3: Energy, it's the.
Speaker 4: One thing they really need energy. That's the one thing.
Speaker 4: They have an insatiable appetite for energy. And we have
Speaker 4: unlimited energy. You know, we're now under me, but we
Speaker 4: now douce more than if you combine Saudi Arabia and
Speaker 4: before the war, if you took Saudi Arabia Russia put
Speaker 4: them together. We're doing twice as much oil and gas
Speaker 4: as they are, thinking that it's amazing as well. That
Speaker 4: were to call drill baby drill right, well, I would.
Speaker 2: I mean, when you really think about it, if they
Speaker 2: have a problem with Iran and they need to straight
Speaker 2: more than we need it, open don't we don't need
Speaker 2: it at all.
Speaker 5: We don't need it at all, fair enough, So.
Speaker 4: I mean you could make the case, you know, like
Speaker 4: why are we even we're doing it to help Israel
Speaker 4: and to help Saudi Arabia and to help Qatar and
Speaker 4: UAE and you know, Kuwait and.
Speaker 5: Other countries bah Rain.
Speaker 3: It also helps China.
Speaker 4: We're actually I told them today, I said, you know,
Speaker 4: we're helping you, and we're helping you in another way
Speaker 4: because I don't think they want I don't think China
Speaker 4: wants I Ran to have a nuclear weapon either. I said,
Speaker 4: just don't go crazy. You don't need them having a
Speaker 4: nuclear weapony.
Speaker 3: What did he say?
Speaker 4: Well, he's not going to respond to he's a pretty
Speaker 4: cool guy. He's not going to say, oh gee, that's
Speaker 4: a good point, I.
Speaker 3: Think involved But what a wonderful point? Do you think
Speaker 3: he agreed? I think that was the impression.
Speaker 5: I don't think he wants them to know he would
Speaker 5: like to see an end. But he's been good about it.
Speaker 5: You know, he hasn't done anything hostile.
Speaker 2: They get discounted oil from Irana. Here's a thought, because
Speaker 2: if you're going to expand trade and it's going to
Speaker 2: include benefits for our farmers, and it's going to include
Speaker 2: manufacturing and.
Speaker 3: All those you know, top CEOs.
Speaker 2: And executives that you brought into that meeting that they
Speaker 2: didn't expect, I would imagine that there probably is a
Speaker 2: deal to be had on the energy front, which would
Speaker 2: be great for our country. Because so I told.
Speaker 4: Him, I'd love to see you by oil from Texas
Speaker 4: and Louisiana, from the United States Alaska, We've got so
Speaker 4: much of it. And he said he likes the idea,
Speaker 4: like to talk about that. I think it'll happen.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a neat deal.
Speaker 5: That's a big deal.
Speaker 3: I don't know, a huge announcement.
Speaker 4: Look, they're doing it right now. They're sending Chinese ships
Speaker 4: up to buy it. So we're doing you know, and
Speaker 4: I don't like talking about it because then the fake
Speaker 4: news media says, oh, you know, Trump doesn't talk about
Speaker 4: the fact that somebody's paying two and a half from
Speaker 4: you know, I had it down to one eighty five
Speaker 4: in Iowa a gallon. So now it's four dollars and
Speaker 4: it's going to not be long and as soon as
Speaker 4: the war ends, it's going to go down to lower
Speaker 4: than it was before.
Speaker 5: It's going to be very quick. And you know, when
Speaker 5: I explained it to people, all you.
Speaker 4: Have to do is say, do you think Iran, they're crazy,
Speaker 4: should have a nuclear weapon? Everybody says no. I said, well,
Speaker 4: then you think I'm doing the right thing, and I
Speaker 4: have no choice. The sad thing is that we've just
Speaker 4: broken every record on the stock market. As you know,
Speaker 4: I thought the market would go down twenty twenty five points.
Speaker 4: It didn't. It's higher now than it was before we started.
Speaker 4: All right, if you want, well what but is that amazing?
Speaker 3: It is amazing. And you know, I know people around
Speaker 3: you told you oil prices would go up. Okay. I
Speaker 3: had a conversation with you and I asked you if
Speaker 3: I could bring this up.
Speaker 2: And I said, mister President, if you wanted to knock
Speaker 2: out a RAN's economy, you could probably do it.
Speaker 3: In an under an hour. And you said to me, no,
Speaker 3: probably in five minutes.
Speaker 4: Very little time.
Speaker 3: That's what you said to me. And then I asked you, well.
Speaker 5: We hit carg Island, everything but the oil that's there.
Speaker 4: We left that one little thing. I say, stay fifty
Speaker 4: yards away. And I said to General Raisin Kane, I said, General,
Speaker 4: how long will it take? Said four or five minutes?
Speaker 4: I said no, no, seriously, how long I figured He
Speaker 4: said two days a week. He said no, only four
Speaker 4: or five minutes. They wiped out the whole island, except
Speaker 4: they left the nozo you know, that's what they just
Speaker 4: in case.
Speaker 3: You know what that would end this conflict, that would
Speaker 3: end this war.
Speaker 4: Well it would, But then you said to me, then
Speaker 4: you'd lose a lot of oil. And I don't know.
Speaker 4: Look right now there's no oil coming out of carg Island,
Speaker 4: not zero and going to cap those well, people are
Speaker 4: finding other places to buy oil, like Texas. So I
Speaker 4: don't want to say we're making a fortune. You understand that,
Speaker 4: because if I say they're guy, say, oh, if it
Speaker 4: gets about the little man, you know with the Floridel
Speaker 4: geslie you said the reason I said, You said to me,
Speaker 4: this would wipe out their economy for over a decade.
Speaker 2: It's a population of over ninety million people that have
Speaker 2: been oppressed for forty seven plus years.
Speaker 3: And you said you didn't want to do that if
Speaker 3: you didn't have to.
Speaker 4: So if I don't have to, I don't. Oh, that's
Speaker 4: the easiest shoto of all. That would be done in
Speaker 4: one minute. The island took four minutes. That would the
Speaker 4: only thing. I said, leave fifty yards around. They wiped
Speaker 4: out everything. I mean it's wiped out. It would take
Speaker 4: one plane one minute. That's what I would take. When
Speaker 4: you do that, you start off, that's a big statement
Speaker 4: to do that. Now you also have bridges, yours have
Speaker 4: electric plants, which I.
Speaker 5: Think in many ways or worse, because you.
Speaker 4: Can you can get the oil open faster than you
Speaker 4: can build a new bridge or build a new electric plant.
Speaker 4: But these guys should make a deal. I mean only
Speaker 4: crazy people would not make a deal. But they should
Speaker 4: make a deal. And President she would like to see
Speaker 4: a deal man. He would like to see a deal man.
Speaker 4: And he did offer. He said if I can be
Speaker 4: of any help at all, I would like to be
Speaker 4: of help.
Speaker 3: Because he did say that.
Speaker 4: He did say that. And look, anybody that buys that
Speaker 4: much oil, it's obviously got some kind of a relationship
Speaker 4: with him, but he said, I would love to be
Speaker 4: a help if I could be of any help whatsoever.
Speaker 4: He'd like to see the hormost straight open. He said,
Speaker 4: if I could be of any help whatsoever, I would
Speaker 4: like to help.
Speaker 2: What is complicated things? Probably the most is the top
Speaker 2: three tier leadership is wiped out. God, now you have
Speaker 2: a fractured leadership.
Speaker 4: But I think we are people that are leaders. I
Speaker 4: think they're much better than I think. They're much more reasonable.
Speaker 4: You know, if you talk about regime change, that's the
Speaker 4: ultimate no, I said, that's that is resime change, right.
Speaker 4: The third tier that we're dealing with now, I think
Speaker 4: they're actually much more reasonable and in many ways smarter
Speaker 4: than the first tier and the second tier, who are
Speaker 4: no longer with us.
Speaker 3: And why aren't they? Why did they go forward there?
Speaker 4: They make a deal on the next day, Like we
Speaker 4: waited five days for a letter that should have been
Speaker 4: there one hour, So where's the letter. They're having a
Speaker 4: lot of turmoil. They got nothing but turmoil inside, and
Speaker 4: it's an amazing phenomenon. Nobody wants to be the president,
Speaker 4: you know, they say, who wants to be president of Iran?
Speaker 5: Anybody want to be president. I don't want to be president.
Speaker 2: But I've known you long enough to know you don't
Speaker 2: have infinite patience. You have patience. You're being patient. I'm
Speaker 2: not going to be much more patient. No, they should
Speaker 2: make a deal. Any sane person would make a deal,
Speaker 2: but they might be crazy. I have more handity with
Speaker 2: President Trump on the other side.
Speaker 3: As we continue,
