00:00I want to thank some of the great people from the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office.
00:12They're here to take photographs, and it's my honor to do so.
00:15Also the fire department, the great firefighters.
00:17So they're here throughout the room, and I want to thank you very much for being here.
00:21I'll be with you in a little while.
00:22We'll do some great photos.
00:24We have plenty of time.
00:26Policemen, policewomen, and firemen, firewomen, they're here, and we appreciate it very much.
00:32You've done a fantastic job.
00:34I think it's very important to state that incredible things are happening in our country.
00:40I think we've made more progress in three weeks than they've made in four years, especially
00:45with respect to the reputation of our country.
00:49And people are respecting us again as a country, and as a powerful country, and maybe a smart
00:55country, but maybe not so smart because when you look at some of the waste, fraud, and
01:00abuse that's being uncovered by Doge and the people at Doge, these are young, often young,
01:07but super brilliant people, incredible computer scientists and other things, and they're finding
01:15levels of fraud and waste and abuse like I think nobody ever thought possible.
01:22But before we do that, I just want to ask Will to come over.
01:27I've just finished signing some executive orders, and if we could start with that, Will,
01:32you might want to come up here and just explain what we did.
01:36Good afternoon, you all.
01:38A short while ago, President Trump signed three items.
01:44The first is an executive order relating to the affordability and availability of in vitro
01:49fertilization and other fertility treatments.
01:52These are treatments that have become unaffordable for many Americans or have been unaffordable
01:57for many Americans, and the executive order is a directive to the Domestic Policy Council
02:02to examine ways to make IVF and other fertility treatments more affordable for more Americans.
02:08The second item that we signed was a presidential memorandum imposing radical transparency requirements
02:14on government departments and agencies in keeping with President Trump and the administration's
02:19broader commitment to governmental transparency.
02:22What this presidential memorandum would do is require as waste, fraud, and abuse is uncovered,
02:29as programs are canceled, and ultimately as taxpayer dollars are saved, this presidential
02:34memorandum would require departments and agencies to make all of the details of that freely
02:40available to the public.
02:42Lastly, we have another executive order that President Trump signed relating to independent
02:47agencies.
02:49This executive order would establish important oversight functions in the Office of Management
02:53and Budget and its subsidiary office, OIRA, supervising independent agencies and many
02:59of their actions, and also reestablishes the longstanding norm that only the President
03:05or the Attorney General can speak for the United States when stating an opinion as to
03:09what the law is.
03:10The President Thank you very much, Will.
03:14That was the primary purpose of this conference, to explain that they're all very important
03:20in their own way.
03:21Fertilization, I've been saying that we're going to do what we have to do.
03:26And I think the women and families, husbands, are very appreciative of it.
03:32But that was it.
03:33I do want to say, while I'm up here, I've been contacted by some of the biggest companies
03:37in the world.
03:39And because of what we're doing economically and through tariffs and taxes and incentives,
03:43they want to come back into the United States.
03:47And we'll be announcing various very large companies, the biggest, actually.
03:51And they'll be coming back, having to do with chips and having to do also with cars and
03:57lots of other things.
03:58We're going to be announcing some very, very big, very big, momentous, I think, momentous
04:05decisions are being made by companies all around the world, the biggest.
04:09And they want to come back into the U.S.
04:12Car plants are being canceled in other locations now because they want to build them here.
04:17And you read about a couple, not that I want to mention names or anything, but you read
04:20about a couple of big ones in Mexico just got canceled because they're going to be building
04:24them in the United States.
04:25And that's very simply because of what we're doing with respect to taxes, tariffs, and
04:31incentives.
04:32And I think it's a very important thing.
04:34And you'll be seeing this over the next, probably over the next two years, to be honest.
04:39But you're going to see a lot of it over the next couple of weeks.
04:41A lot of big ones are going to be announcing.
04:44And so while we're here, I guess we can take a couple of quick questions.
04:48Go ahead, please.
04:49Please.
04:50Have you decided specifically what the auto tariff rate should be?
04:54Yeah, I probably will tell you that in on April 2nd, but it'll be in the neighborhood
05:00of 25 percent.
05:01What about semiconductors and pharmaceuticals?
05:04It'll be 25 percent and higher, and it'll go very substantially higher over the course
05:08of a year.
05:10But we want to give them time to come in because, as you know, when they come into the United
05:13States and they have their plant or factory here, there is no tariff.
05:18So we want to give them a little bit of a chance.
05:20Yes.
05:22The EU representative is going to be here in Washington next week.
05:29I'm sorry, tomorrow.
05:30He's going to be meeting with Hassett and Greer and Letnik.
05:34What can the EU do to sort of avoid the reciprocal tariffs that you've talked about?
05:41And you know, you've talked a lot about the VAT.
05:43Do you expect them to reduce that?
05:46Well, they did already, as I understand it, reduce their car tariff all the way down to
05:50what we have.
05:51And a lot of that will take place, and I think some won't do it and some will do it.
05:55But the EU had a 10 percent tax on cars, and now they have a 2.5 percent tax, which is
06:00the exact same as us.
06:01So already we've saved a tremendous amount.
06:03Now, that would be great.
06:04If everybody would do that, then we'd all be on the same playing field.
06:08Because essentially what we're doing with the tariffs is, you know, they charge us,
06:12we charge them, same amount.
06:14And it's called reciprocal, actually.
06:18And whatever they charge us, we're charging them.
06:20And so the EU is — you know, I appreciate that they did this, but, you know, the EU
06:25has been very unfair to us.
06:26We have a deficit of $350 billion.
06:29They don't take our cars.
06:30They don't take our farm products.
06:32They don't take almost anything.
06:34They take very little.
06:36And we're going to have to straighten that out.
06:37And we will.
06:38I have no doubt about it.
06:39Yeah.
06:40Go ahead, please.
06:41Thanks.
06:42Thank you, Mr. President.
06:43Can you tell us a little bit more about the Russia talks?
06:47Your impression of how they went today, and if you're perhaps more confident or less confident
06:51of a deal after what happened today?
06:53Well, much more confident.
06:54They were very good.
06:56Russia wants to do something.
06:57They want to stop the savage barbarianism.
07:02I mean, what's going on over there, it's — soldiers are being killed by the thousands on a weekly
07:08basis.
07:09It's ridiculous.
07:10And they're not American soldiers.
07:12They're Russian soldiers, and they're Ukrainian soldiers, largely, although a lot of Koreans
07:16have been killed, as you know.
07:19Quite a bit of them have been killed.
07:20They came over to fight, and a large portion have been wiped out.
07:25But we want to end it.
07:26It's a senseless war.
07:28It should have never happened.
07:29It would have never happened if I was President.
07:32And it's a shame to see it.
07:33And I see pictures that you don't see, but I see pictures of fields that look just horrible.
07:38It looks like Gettysburg.
07:39If you see the old pictures of Gettysburg, it's soldiers lying all over the field, body
07:43parts all over the field.
07:44They're all dead.
07:46And this is going on on a daily basis.
07:49It's a horrible thing.
07:50Both Russia and Ukraine, they're losing thousands and thousands of soldiers.
07:54And a lot of people have been killed, too.
07:56I think that's one of the things that you'll see historically, and you'll see later on
08:01as it goes along.
08:02I think people are going to be surprised at how many people, not only soldiers, have been
08:06killed in Ukraine.
08:08A lot more people than you think.
08:10Yeah, please.
08:11The Press President Trump, as part of a peace deal with Putin, would you be willing to consider
08:18removing all American troops from Europe?
08:22Well, nobody has asked me to do that, so I don't think we'd have to do that.
08:26I wouldn't want to do that.
08:28But that question has never really come up.
08:31Yeah.
08:32Please.
08:33Sir, do you support stationing European peacekeeping troops in Ukraine as part of this peace deal?
08:41If they want to do that, that's great.
08:42I'm all for it.
08:43If they want to do that, I think that's — that'd be fine.
08:47I mean, I know France has mentioned it.
08:49Others have mentioned it.
08:51The U.K. has mentioned it.
08:52But, yeah, well, if we have a peace deal, I think having troops over there for — from
08:58the standpoint of Europe, we won't have to put any over there because, you know, we're
09:02very far away.
09:04But having troops over there would be fine.
09:06I would not object to it at all.
09:08We're talking about this now, peace.
09:10We have either a ceasefire or a peace itself, and we're looking to do both.
09:15We'd start off with a ceasefire.
09:18And if they want to do that — I know France was willing to do that, and I thought that
09:23was a beautiful gesture.
09:24Yeah, please.
09:25Do you have any message for Ukrainians who, after three years of fighting, might feel
09:29betrayed or disappointed at not having a seat at these initial talks in Saudi Arabia?
09:33Well, I think I'm really disappointed in what's happened.
09:38I've been watching this for three years.
09:40It's a war that would have never happened if I was President.
09:42And I've been watching these — these, you know, people being killed at levels that you've
09:48rarely seen, not even close, since the Second World War.
09:53And I'm very disappointed.
09:54I hear that, you know, they're upset about not having a seat.
09:56Well, they've had a seat for three years and a long time before that.
10:00This could have been settled very easily.
10:02Just a half-baked negotiator could have settled this years ago without — I think without
10:11the loss of much land, very little land, without the loss of any lives, and without the loss
10:17of cities that are just laying on their side.
10:20You have those magnificent golden domes that are shattered, will never be replaced.
10:26You can't replace them.
10:27Thousand-year-old domes that are so beautiful, you can't replace that.
10:31The whole civilization has changed because of what.
10:34So, when they're worried about not being seated, you mean somebody that should have
10:38gone in and made a deal a long time ago.
10:42You could have made a deal.
10:43This is one that could have made a deal.
10:44There was no talk of this during the Trump administration.
10:48Putin would have never, ever done it.
10:49And by the way, we wouldn't have had October 7th.
10:53You know that.
10:54We wouldn't have had October 7th either in Israel.
10:56And we wouldn't have had that mess that's going on over there.
10:59It's like we have great fire people here.
11:01We're putting out fires.
11:03All over the world, we're putting out fires.
11:06So that wouldn't have happened.
11:07And you know what else wouldn't have happened?
11:09Inflation.
11:10Because it was caused, really, by the cost of energy going through the roof because of
11:13their bad energy policies.
11:16And also their spending, their terrible spending, wasteful spending on the Green New Scam.
11:20It's a scam.
11:21It's a whole big scam.
11:22Yeah, please.
11:23Yes, sir.
11:24I want to ask you a little closer to home.
11:27What would it take for you to reconsider the restrictions on the Associated Press?
11:31And secondly, some of your advisors are concerned with the Associated Press' style guide, using
11:38language and giving guidance to not use words like illegal immigrant or to use phrases like
11:43gender-affirming care.
11:45And they're concerned about that being an encroaching amount of liberalism in the way
11:49in which the press writes about things.
11:51Do you share those concerns?
11:52Well, I do think that some of the phrases that they want to use are ridiculous.
11:57And I think, frankly, they've become obsolete, especially in the last three weeks, because
12:02many things have happened in the last three weeks.
12:05And I didn't know about that, but I would say that if they want to use certain phrases
12:09like that — and I guess some are okay, but many aren't.
12:13But the Associated Press just refuses to go with what the law is and what is taking
12:19place.
12:20It's called the Gulf of America now.
12:22It's not called the Gulf of Mexico any longer.
12:25I have the right to do it, just like we have the right to do Mount McKinley, and nobody
12:28is even challenging that.
12:30But only the — essentially, it's primarily the Associated Press.
12:34And I don't know what they're doing, but I just say that we're going to keep them out
12:37until such time as they agree that it's the Gulf of America.
12:40We're very proud of this country, and we want it to be the Gulf of America.
12:43Now, the Associated Press, as you know, has been very, very wrong on the election, on
12:51Trump and the treatment of Trump, and other things having to do with Trump and Republicans
12:55and conservatives.
12:57And they're doing us no favors, and I guess I'm not doing them any favors.
13:01That's the way life works.
13:02But, you know, thank you for the question.
13:03Who are you with?
13:04Very good question.
13:06Yes.
13:08We're hearing that Russia wants to force Ukraine to hold new elections in order to sign any
13:16kind of a peace deal.
13:17Is that something that the U.S. would ever support?
13:20Well, we have a situation where we haven't had elections in Ukraine, where we have martial
13:28law — essentially, martial law in Ukraine — where the leader in Ukraine — I mean,
13:33I hate to say it, but he's down at 4 percent approval rating — and where our country
13:38has been blown to smithereens.
13:40You got — most of the cities are laying on their sides.
13:45The buildings are collapsed.
13:46It looks like a massive demolition site.
13:49The whole — I mean, so many of the cities.
13:51I mean, they haven't done it in Kiev because, I guess, they don't want to shoot too many
13:55rockets in there.
13:56They've done it 20 percent, but they haven't done it 100 percent.
13:59If they wanted to do it 100 percent, it would probably happen very quickly.
14:02But you have cities that are absolutely decimated.
14:07And yeah, I would say that, you know, when they want a seat at the table, you could say
14:10the people have to — wouldn't the people of Ukraine have to say, like, you know, it's
14:15been a long time since we've had an election?
14:17That's not a Russia thing.
14:18That's something coming from me and coming from many other countries also.
14:24You know, Ukraine is being just wiped out.
14:27Look at what's happening to the cities.
14:30There are cities — there's not even a building standing.
14:33It's a massive — you talk about Gaza.
14:35I mean, it's literally — these cities look like Gaza.
14:39Actually, many have, percentage-wise, more buildings knocked down than in Gaza.
14:45So, you know, people are tired of it.
14:48People want to see something happen.
14:49And, you know, the other thing that has been bothering me for a long time, because I solved
14:55the problem with NATO — they paid hundreds of billions of dollars into the funds of NATO
15:00when I said, you got to pay, because the United States was paying for European countries,
15:04and then they take advantage of us on trade.
15:07But I've seen it.
15:08Look, we have to — they have to pay.
15:10They have to find out, where is the money going to?
15:13We have — I believe President Zelensky said last week that he doesn't know where half
15:18of the money is that we gave him.
15:20Well, we gave them, I believe, $350 billion.
15:23But let's say it's something less than that, but it's a lot.
15:27And we have to equalize with Europe, because Europe has given us — given a very much
15:32smaller percentage than that.
15:34I think Europe has given $100 billion, and we've given, let's say, $300 plus.
15:40And it's more important for them than it is for us.
15:43We have an ocean in between, and they don't.
15:46But where is all the money that's been given?
15:49Where is it going?
15:50And nobody — I've never seen an accounting of it.
15:52We give hundreds of billions of dollars.
15:55I have — I don't see any accounting.
15:57So, I want to see peace.
15:59Look, you know why I want?
16:01Because I don't want all these people killed anymore.
16:04I'm looking at people that are being killed.
16:07And they're Russian and Ukrainian people, but they're people.
16:09It doesn't matter where they're from on the whole planet.
16:13And I think I have the power to end this war.
16:16And I think it's going very well.
16:18But today, I heard, oh, well, we weren't invited.
16:19Well, you've been there for three years.
16:21You should have ended it three years.
16:23You should have never started it.
16:24You could have made a deal.
16:25I could have made a deal for Ukraine that would have given them almost all of the land
16:30— everything, almost all of the land — and no people would have been killed, and no city
16:35would have been demolished, and not one dome would have been knocked down.
16:39But they chose not to do it that way.
16:41And President Biden, in all fairness, he doesn't have a clue what he — he was so bad for
16:45this.
16:46He was so bad.
16:47So pathetic.
16:48So sad.
16:50But with all of that being said, look, we — it is what it is.
16:53When I left, there was no chance that this could have happened.
16:55But it happened because we had incompetent leadership at many different levels.
17:00But when you see what's taken place in Ukraine, with millions of people killed, including
17:05the soldiers — millions of people killed, a big percentage of their cities knocked down
17:10to the ground.
17:11I don't know how anybody even lives there.
17:12You know, when they say they took a poll, and Zelensky is at 4 percent, who's living
17:17there?
17:18You know, I mean, people are — it's hard to believe that people live there.
17:20Their cities are being knocked down.
17:23And this is something that would have never happened.
17:25And by the way, for four years, it didn't happen.
17:28It was never going to happen.
17:29Go ahead.
17:30The Press How about a follow-up question?
17:31How would you counter the perception — because Russia is pushing for this, obviously, they
17:35don't really hold true elections — that that would be a capitulation of some sort?
17:39How would you guard against potentially Russia installing a puppet government?
17:43And then, finally, how would that new election have an impact on getting Zelensky to sign
17:48the rare-earth minerals deal?
17:50Look, you have leadership — and I like him personally, he's fine.
17:56But I don't care about personally.
17:59I care about getting the job done.
18:01You have leadership now that's allowed a war to go on that should have never even happened,
18:05even without the United States.
18:07Look, we had a President who was grossly incompetent.
18:11He had no idea what he was doing.
18:12He said some very stupid things, like going in for portions and all those things.
18:16He made a lot of bad statements.
18:17But he's grossly incompetent, and I think everyone knew that.
18:22This is something that should have never happened, would have never happened.
18:25And I used to discuss it with Putin.
18:28President Putin and I would talk about Ukraine, and it was the apple of his eye, I will tell
18:32you that.
18:33But he never — there was never a chance of him going in.
18:34And I told him, you better not go in, don't go in, don't go in.
18:38And he understood that, and he understood it fully.
18:41But I'm only interested — I want to see if I can save maybe millions of lives.
18:46This could even end up in a World War III.
18:48I mean, to be honest with you, you've been hearing now Europe is saying, well, I think
18:51we're going to go in and we're going to go.
18:52All of a sudden, you're going to end up in World War III over something that should have
18:56never happened.
18:57And, you know, it's a very sad situation.
19:00Yeah, please.
19:01In a court filing, the White House said that Elon Musk is not a Doge employee and has no
19:08authority to make decisions.
19:10Can you clarify for us today what his exact role is there?
19:15Well, Elon Musk —
19:16Elon is, to me, a patriot.
19:18So, you know, you could call him an employee, you could call him a consultant, you could
19:21call him whatever you want.
19:23But he's a patriot.
19:24I mean, look at the kind of things — I just said — just write it down, just in case
19:27that question got asked, right?
19:30And — which, I'm surprised it took so long, actually.
19:33But you know what?
19:34Ukraine is a bigger deal because people are dying by the thousands a week — thousands.
19:41But look at this.
19:42Ninety to ninety-nine Social Security — 6,054,000 people.
19:47Well, that's okay.
19:49Maybe that's possible.
19:50You know, 90 to 90 — 99.
19:54Maybe it's possible.
19:55That's a lot of people, though, with that.
19:57But people that live to 100 to 109 — 4,734,000.
20:01Wow, that's a lot.
20:03That means over 100 years old, they have 4 million people.
20:06I don't know.
20:07I don't know too many.
20:09People that are doing great in their 90s, but not too many people over 100.
20:12But over 120 — from 120 years old, people that are 120 years old up to 129 — 3,472,000
20:24people.
20:26Wow.
20:27You know that can't possibly be, because the record is like — I think it's one person
20:31— a woman lived to 127, but they have 3,472.
20:36Okay.
20:37Now we're going really in.
20:39People from 130 years old to 139 years old — 3,936,000.
20:47Wow.
20:48I wonder if people are getting paid with all this.
20:50I mean, are these checks — and that's what we're checking right now.
20:54People from 140 years old to 149 years old — 3,542,000.
21:03140 years old and beyond.
21:06Now — now we're really going, because we're looking to break the record by 25 years.
21:11People from 150 years old to 159 years old — 1,345,000.
21:20These are in the — by the way, these are in the computer files.
21:23This is what they do well.
21:25They're super — I asked Elon, who are these Doge people?
21:30He said they're super-brilliant computer people, and they love the country.
21:33It's simple.
21:34Wait a minute.
21:36People from 160 years old to 169 years — 121,000.
21:41So 160-year-old people.
21:43170 to 179,000 — 6,087.
21:49But now let's go into the real numbers.
21:53From 200 to 209 years old — 879 people.
21:59From 210 years old — I haven't met any of them.
22:04And if I did, I would bless them.
22:06I would — I would worship the ground they walk on.
22:10210 to 219 years old — 866.
22:15From 220 years old to 229 years old — 1,039.
22:22And then you have two people.
22:24From 240 years old to 249 years old — one person.
22:30And there's one person that's 360 years old.
22:37That's just that.
22:38And then, where's the money being spent, right?
22:41Let's go into that for just a second.
22:44$520 million for a consultant on the environment.
22:52It's called Environmental, Social, and Governance.
22:57In Africa.
22:59And mobilized private sector resources — $520 million.
23:05Somebody got $520 million for an environmental —
23:08sounds like an environmental study.
23:09That's the most — I've always been one
23:12that paid a lot of money for my environmental studies.
23:14But they — you know, I paid like $50,000.
23:17Not $520 million.
23:19$520 million for ESG.
23:25$25 million to promote biodiversity,
23:29conservation, and promote licit livelihoods
23:32by developing socially responsible behavior
23:35in the country of Colombia.
23:37Well, it's nice — $25 million to go into Colombia
23:40for something that nobody ever heard of.
23:43$40 million to improve the social and economic inclusion
23:48of sedentary migrants — $40 million.
23:53$42 million for Johns Hopkins —
23:55great place to research and drive social
23:59and behavior change in Uganda — $42 million.
24:02What about us?
24:03What about social change in our country?
24:06$70 million for a center at Purdue
24:09to research university-sourced, evidence-based solutions
24:13to developmental challenges.
24:15I mean, these are massive numbers on things
24:17that nobody ever heard about.
24:19$10 million for Mozambique
24:21voluntary medical male circumcisions —
24:26$10 million for circumcisions in another country.
24:29$9.7 million for UC Berkeley to develop a cohort
24:35of Cambodian youth with enterprise-driven skills.
24:39In other words, let's teach them something about enterprise.
24:41What about our people?
24:43Can't we teach them about enterprise?
24:44$2.3 million for strengthening independent voices in Cambodia.
24:49$32 million to the Prague Civil Society Center,
24:54which is a very liberal group of people.
24:57Wonder how much of that money came back
24:58to the people that approved it.
25:00$14 million for improving public procurement in Serbia.
25:05$486 million to the Consortium for Elections
25:10and Political Process Strengthening,
25:12including $22 million for inclusive
25:15and participatory political process in Moldova.
25:20And $21 million for voter turnout in India.
25:24Well, why are we giving $21 million to India?
25:26They got a lot of money.
25:27They're one of the highest-taxing countries
25:30in the world, in terms of us.
25:31We can hardly get in there because their tariffs are so high.
25:35I have a lot of respect for India.
25:36I have a lot of respect for the Prime Minister.
25:38He just left, as you know, two days ago.
25:39But we're giving $21 million for voter turnout.
25:43It's voter turnout in India.
25:46What about, like, voter turnout here?
25:48We've done that, I guess.
25:49We did $500 million, didn't we?
25:51It's called the lockboxes.
25:53$20 million for fiscal federalism in Nepal.
25:58Listen to these numbers.
26:00This is all fraud.
26:02$19 million for biodiversity conservation in Nepal.
26:07$1.5 million for voter confidence.
26:10We want to give them confidence in Liberia.
26:13$14 million for social cohesion in Mali.
26:18$2.5 million for inclusive democracies in South Africa.
26:24$47 million for improving learning outcomes in Asia.
26:29Asia is doing very well.
26:31They're doing a lot better than we do in the schools,
26:33aren't they?
26:34$2 million to develop sustainable recycling models
26:37to increase socioeconomic cohesion
26:39among marginalized communities in Kosovo and Ashkali.
26:46And in Egypt, we're talking about hundreds of billions
26:51of dollars.
26:52By the way, I could read this all day long.
26:55I could go on all day long, and you'll see hundreds
26:59of billions of dollars.
27:01And we're doing it.
27:02But when I saw the Social Security numbers,
27:05I said, wow, that's really something.
27:09Let's just go above 100 years old.
27:12We have millions and millions of people over 100 years old.
27:15Everybody knows that's not so.
27:18We have a very corrupt country.
27:20Very corrupt country.
27:21And it's a sad thing to say, but we're figuring it out.
27:25Now, the good thing about Social Security and what I read
27:29is if you take all of those numbers off,
27:32because they're obviously fraudulent or incompetent,
27:36but if you take all of those millions of people
27:38off Social Security, all of a sudden
27:40we have a very powerful Social Security
27:43with people that are 80, and 70, and 90, but not 200 years old.
27:50So it's a very positive thing.
27:51How about over here?
27:53Please.
27:53Your reaction to Michel King had resigning after the Dojo?
27:57Who resigned?
27:58Had resigned.
28:00I don't know.
28:00I mean, resigned or got fired.
28:02I think got fired.
28:04You know, when you fire somebody, they always resign,
28:06and then they say, we resigned.
28:08But when you have numbers like that, I think, really,
28:11it's got fired.
28:14They have to get fired.
28:15Who would keep them?
28:16How could you have numbers like this?
28:18Now, the big thing is, how many of these people got paid?
28:21Were they getting paid?
28:24Were they getting paid?
28:24How many of them were getting paid, Social Security?
28:27Because if that's the case, it's a massive fraud.
28:30We'll have to call those great Palm Beach
28:32police into this situation, right?
28:34You guys would figure that out very quickly.
28:36But how many of them are being paid?
28:38I mean, maybe millions of them.
28:41But it's a total fraud.
28:43Also, a lot of illegal immigrants
28:45are in Social Security that shouldn't be there.
28:47Yeah, please.
28:48Go ahead.
28:49Mr. President, there was a big wave
28:50of probationary federal workers who were fired over the weekend.
28:53Some of these workers focused on nuclear weapons security
28:56were immediately rehired.
28:58Do you have any concerns about how these terminations have
29:00gone?
29:00No, not at all.
29:01I think we have to just do what we have to do.
29:04It's amazing what's been found right now.
29:08It's amazing.
29:09If we feel that, in some cases, they'll fire people
29:12and then they'll put some people back, not all of them,
29:15because a lot of people were let go.
29:17Don't forget, I got elected on the basis
29:19of making our government stronger and smaller.
29:23Because we have millions of people that, obviously,
29:25they're paying millions of people that shouldn't be paid.
29:30And that has also to do with workers.
29:31Yeah, please.
29:33No, go ahead.
29:34Actually, yes, New York Times.
29:37Sorry.
29:38Mr. President, given your concerns about corruption,
29:41you said that if there were any conflicts of interest
29:43with Elon Musk, you wouldn't let him anywhere near it.
29:47That's right.
29:48Doge and SpaceX employees are now
29:50working directly at the Federal Aviation Administration
29:53and the Defense Department, agencies
29:55that have billions of dollars in contracts with Musk's
29:58companies or that directly regulate his companies.
30:01How is that not a conflict of interest?
30:03Well, I mean, I'm just hearing about it.
30:04And if there is, and he told me before I told him,
30:07but obviously, I will not let there
30:09be any conflict of interest.
30:10He's done an amazing job.
30:12They've revealed, in fact, he's going to be on tonight
30:14a big show called Sean Hannity at 9 o'clock.
30:18And he's on and I'm on, and we talk
30:20about a lot of different things.
30:21And any conflicts, I told Elon, any conflicts,
30:25you can't have anything to do with that.
30:26So anything to do with possibly even space,
30:29we won't let Elon partake in that.
30:32Yeah, please.
30:36On immigration, sir, you said you
30:37would be sending the worst of the worst to Guantanamo Bay.
30:41What we're finding out is that there
30:42are a lot of low-risk migrants who
30:44don't have a criminal background who are also being sent.
30:47Are you thinking about this differently now?
30:49No, they're going to be brought back to their countries.
30:52And with some persuasion, every one of those countries,
30:57every one in the, as you know, every country
30:59is taking the people back.
31:01So some of them are going to be brought back to many of them.
31:04Any of them that are low-risk, as you say,
31:07are going to be brought back to their countries.
31:11Yeah, go ahead, please.
31:13Can you give us a bit of an update on where
31:15you stand with Venezuela?
31:17Yeah, sure.
31:19There's basically a monthly license that can soon extend.
31:22Well, you know, we had Venezuela on the run,
31:25and it looked like that was going to be very good.
31:28And when Biden came in, as he always does, he screws it up.
31:32And they started buying millions and millions and millions
31:35of dollars of oil.
31:37Billions of dollars, actually, of oil.
31:40And it gave them a new lease on life.
31:47But we'll see.
31:48We had some pretty good discussions
31:51with a lot of people within our government and the United
31:54States government that are involved in that.
31:56And Venezuela is a little bit early.
31:58But, you know, we were not buying from Venezuela.
32:00When Biden came in, for whatever reason,
32:02instead of just taking the beautiful,
32:04as I call it, liquid gold we have more than anybody,
32:07they started paying a fortune to Venezuela.
32:09And we're looking at that, actually.
32:10Why did they do that?
32:11Why were they doing that?
32:13Why would they go to the enemy and give them
32:15billions and billions of dollars?
32:17Now, with that being said, as you know,
32:19Venezuela has said very strongly they will not
32:22take any illegal immigrant, any of the people
32:26that they sent over to us.
32:28They sent their gangs, probably the worst gang
32:30anywhere in the world.
32:32As bad as MS-13, maybe worse.
32:34And they came out of the jails of Venezuela.
32:36They emptied their jails into our country.
32:39And they said, we'll never take them back.
32:40Well, they took them back, and they're taking them back.
32:42And they are taking them back rapidly.
32:46They were sending a lot of people to Venezuela.
32:47They said they wouldn't take them back,
32:49and they are taking them back.
32:50But we're looking at Venezuela very seriously,
32:52and we're going to be able to — don't forget,
32:54I've only been here for three weeks.
32:58Yeah, please.
32:59The Press Just a little clarity on,
33:01are you inclined to continue to allow Venezuela,
33:06through, I think, Chevron and other oil companies,
33:09to export those petroleum products?
33:10Or are you —
33:11The President Maybe not.
33:12Yeah, maybe not. We're looking at that now.
33:14I just got here.
33:16When I was — when I left, they weren't doing anything.
33:18They were ready to go. We give up.
33:21And then Biden came along, and he gave them literally
33:26billions of dollars.
33:28I couldn't believe it, actually.
33:30And we have so much under our feet.
33:33Liquid gold. We have so much. And it was pretty amazing.
33:37So we're looking at the whole situation, why he did it.
33:40All right, how about one more? Yeah, please.
33:41The Press Thank you, Mr. President.
33:43What can you tell us about the CIA drone flights over Mexico?
33:46Is this the next step in the war against the cartels?
33:48The President Well, we're going to see.
33:49The Press Should they have authority
33:50to take lethal action?
33:52The President Mexico has allowed a tremendous number
33:55of people to go through their country into ours,
33:57and even people coming from Mexico.
33:59And illegals. Totally illegal.
34:02They've allowed people to empty jails into Mexico
34:05and then let them come through with this totally ridiculous
34:08open-border policy of the Biden administration.
34:10So millions of people have come in,
34:13and hundreds of thousands,
34:14and actually millions are criminals.
34:17They came in from jails all over the world.
34:19They'd release them into Mexico, and they'd come into our country.
34:22And they also came in from Canada, by the way.
34:23Large numbers through Canada.
34:25In fact, when we closed up the one border,
34:30they came in through the other border.
34:31So Canada is not an uninterested party.
34:37But I will say this. We're dealing with Mexico.
34:40I have a very good relationship with Mexico.
34:42But I think Mexico is largely run by the cartels,
34:45and that's a sad thing to say.
34:46And if they wanted help with that, we'd give them help.
34:50But Mexico, if you look at what's gone on with Mexico
34:53for years now, but now especially,
34:54it's run by the cartels.
34:57And they've allowed millions of people
35:00to come into our country from jails and prisons
35:02of other countries from all over the world,
35:04not just South America.
35:06Africa, Asia, all over.
35:08A lot from the Congo in Africa. A lot.
35:11They opened their jails. They came in through Mexico.
35:14And we have some of the worst criminals
35:17coming in from the Congo and other places.
35:19So it's not just South America, and it's not just Venezuela.
35:23But they opened their jails.
35:24And you know the crime rates in Venezuela
35:25and other places all over the world has gone way down.
35:28You know why? Because they've given us their prisoners.
35:32They've given us their drug lords and their gang members.
35:36And it's hard to believe that we accepted this.
35:39It's hard to believe that we allowed open borders
35:41and we're taking in, you know, hundreds of thousands
35:45and millions of people coming in from all over the world
35:47that are absolute stone-cold criminals.
35:50In fact, 11,088 murderers and many of those people
35:55have murdered more than one person.
35:57Why are they giving us these people?
35:58And why are we taking these people under Biden?
36:01You know, you had a border czar that never went to the border.
36:05Happened to be a vice president.
36:06Never went to the border, never called the border people.
36:08I call them all the time. I speak to them all the time.
36:11But here's the good news.
36:14We have the most secure border we've ever had right now.
36:17As secure and even more secure than I had it four years ago.
36:20And the Border Patrol is doing incredible.
36:22ICE is doing incredible.
36:24Tom Holman is unbelievable.
36:26And Kristi Noem has been just working very,
36:29very hard, very, very hard.
36:31And we have the best numbers we've ever had.
36:33And we're going to keep it that way.
36:35And we're going to find out how a thing like this
36:37could have happened to our country,
36:39because who would allow this to happen?
36:41What they've done to our country is so sad.
36:43Thank you very much. Thank you.
