00:00Do a fantastic job and for those of you that want to know the tariffs you've been hearing about tariffs

00:06We're taking in almost two billion dollars a day in tariffs two billion a day

00:12And we're doing very well

00:20And we're doing very well and making I call them tailored deals not off the rack these are tailored highly tailored deals

00:26Right now, Japan is flying here to make a deal

00:31South Korea is flying here to make a deal and others are flying here. I mean my only problem is I'm not sure I have enough

00:37We're gonna have to use those those great law firms. I think to help us with that, but

00:43We're going to probably do that. Actually. We're going to use them and we're getting them for the right price

00:49Because we have to we need a lot of talent. We have a lot of

00:53Countries coming in they want to make deals

00:55If I told them about making those deals two years ago or three years ago or five years ago, they'd be laughing at us now

01:02They're all

01:03Signing up mike you know that so it's going to be a great thing, but we're

01:08Taking think of that two billion dollars a day. That's a lot of money

01:12That's a lot of money even in the coal businesses, huh? It's a lot of money

01:16And america is going to be very rich again very soon. You're going to see that happening. You see it all

01:22all along and it's

01:24so that whole

01:25Situation that you know, there was it was somewhat explosive, but if we didn't do that

01:30We wouldn't be talking the way we're talking right now. It's been amazing what's happened

01:35Sometimes you have to mix it up a little bit, but we've had great

01:38uh

01:39Great consideration. We've had

01:42Talks with many many

01:44Countries over 70 they all want to come in our problem is can't see that many that fast

01:51But we don't have to because as you know, the tariffs are on

01:54And the money is pouring in

01:56at a level that we've never seen before

01:59And uh

02:00It's going to be great for us. It's going to be great for other countries who we've been

02:04Ripped off and abused by countries for many years with the tariff situation. They've used

02:09Harris against us

02:11Now we didn't use tariffs against them or in any way. I mean, we just didn't use them of any monumental proportion

02:18and

02:19So we are doing it now. We have

02:22Tariffs on cars. We have tariffs on lumber with tariffs on

02:28Steel and aluminum

02:29Steel plants are going up because of it

02:32All over the country with 25 percent tariffs on steel and aluminum and

02:37The steel I think the steel workers like me even more than the coal miners like me. I'm pretty sure that that's true

02:43We have instead of having no steel business. I put them

02:47On originally in my first time we would have had we wouldn't have had one steel mill in the united states if I didn't do that and now we

02:53upped it and

02:55we

02:56Not only are we

02:58Taking in a lot of money, but we're protecting our workers our steel workers. We're protecting our steel industry

03:04And one thing you know that steel and things like steel you need because you need it from a defense standpoint

03:11You need steel for your tanks and your planes and your everything and certain industries

03:16You can get away with not having but others you need and steel is when you need so I want to let you know that's in full force and effect and

03:23and

03:24literally as we speak I spoke to

03:27executives in the steel industry over the last few days and

03:31They're all coming in to build plants in the united states of america because if you build them in the united states

03:37You have no tariffs to pay there are no tariffs to pay zero

03:41if you build them outside using outside labor and hurting our businesses and

03:46You send your product in you have to pay a price for that

03:49And they will be having they will be having tariffs as you know

03:55It's an amazing thing. This has been

03:59Something used against us for many years by other countries

04:03China in particular but others not just china others

04:06And taking advantage of us ripped us off and left us for dead frankly, and I believe if I didn't

04:14Become your president. I believe that this country would have had problems

04:18Like they've never had before because it was it was a serious damage in so many other ways

04:23Not only the border where people came rushing into our country from prisons and jails and mental institutions murderers

04:30drug dealers and

04:33some vicious vicious criminals

04:3611,088

04:38Murderers came into our country. We have to get them out. We're getting them out 11,088 of that number half

04:43Committed murder on more than two people more than two people

04:49And this is what they allowed into our country with their open border policy of lunacy

04:54And we're taking care of that just like we're taking care of you today. We're taking care of that. I want to thank christy noem and

05:02Tom holman for doing an unbelievable job the whole thing is what the job they're doing is incredible. It's

05:09Really an unforced error should have never happened that we have to be spending such time and resources. Mr. Senator right on

05:18Getting people out of our country that shouldn't be here. I mean literally from mental institutions insane asylums were opened up

05:25And emptied into our country prisons from all over the world not just south america

05:30prisons from

05:32Think of this from africa the congo a lot of people from the congo prisons in the congo

05:38prisons from asia from all over

05:41Were opened up and I knew that when I heard it was an open border policy

05:45I said if you do that every country is going to be dumping

05:48People that they don't want into our country and that's what's happened, but we're cleaning it out

05:54and

05:55The courts we had a good decision as you know from the supreme court allowing us to do that

06:00We have judges that didn't want us to do we have

06:03Judges that wanted the very evil gang members from trendy araqua and ms-13

06:09They didn't want to take it out of the country and and put in

06:14Very powerful prisons when you look you've seen you've all seen those clips are pretty amazing clips

06:19But I want to thank el salvador. They've done an incredible job

06:23But we've been fortunately winning those cases, but we have

06:27Judges that are out of control that say oh bring them back bring them back. We don't want them back

06:32We don't want them back. Can you imagine you spend all of that time energy and money

06:36On getting them out and then you have a judge that sits there a local judge who sits there federal judges

06:42Sits there and says that no no bring them back

06:45one was

06:47Brought back or they want to bring him back

06:50because

06:51He wasn't a member of trend de araqua

06:54He was a member of ms-13 which is just as bad

06:58So they misidentified him, but it sounds to me like he was a member of ms-13 so they want him brought back

07:04Because he wasn't treated properly

07:07it's uh

07:08We got to be smart our country's got to get a lot smarter than it is, but

07:12We have to give the people that are empowered to do this kind of work, and it's not pleasant work. We have to give them

07:18uh

07:19We have to give them the option of making our country great again, and that's what they're doing

07:23And I have great respect for those people and they're doing it out of love

07:27They could get a much easier job. They're doing it out of love for our country

07:31It's so important just like i'm doing this with coal today for love for our country
