U.S. President Donald Trump issues bold warnings against both China and Iran, sending shockwaves across Europe and Asia. His statement, “Will attack Iran for sure if...” has triggered fears of an escalating global conflict. With tensions at boiling point and Trump's aggressive posture, concerns over a potential World War 3 scenario are rising. The international community watches nervously as alliances shift, markets stumble, and diplomats scramble. Trump's confrontational tone has left many questioning: Is the world on the brink of war or just witnessing another round of political brinkmanship?

00:00Thank you very much, appreciate it.
00:29We just had a wonderful meeting with the greatest race car drivers in the world and some really spectacular people that won the Indy 500 for the last, I guess, for the last four years or last two years.
00:47And Roger Penske is so incredible and the Daytona winners and the Daytona 24-hour champions.
00:56So it was really great to see him and to see those cars.
00:59Those cars are incredible.
01:01So there's a lot of winning out there and we're having a good day in the stock market, as you can see, an all-time record day.
01:06And hopefully it continues.
01:08I think it should.
01:09A country is stronger than it's ever been.
01:12And somebody had to do that.
01:14We had to take the medicine.
01:16We had to go through the operation and that's what we've been through.
01:18And a lot of presidents would not have done it.
01:20No president would have done it, I think.
01:22But it had to be done.
01:23And I just want to thank my team, this team here and lots of others.
01:27And Scott and Howard have been incredible.
01:30And for energy, there's nobody like this man.
01:32And for the roads and highways, boy, you've done well, Sean.
01:36So we appreciate it, very much appreciate it.
01:39And if we could, well, let's see, we're signing a lot of executive orders and some ambassadors have been approved.
01:47And we're going to start that process right now.
01:50We're honored to have Gretchen Whitmer from Michigan, great state of Michigan.
01:56And she's really done an excellent job and a very good person.
02:00And we're working on the Selfridge, as you know, the airbase.
02:05We're trying to get the airbase open, keep it open.
02:09And I think, Gretchen, if you're there, and Matt Hall, the Speaker of the House of Michigan.
02:14And he's been fantastic as the Speaker.
02:18I appreciate it.
02:19We won the state, Matt.
02:20We did.
02:20You helped me a lot.
02:21I did.
02:22And you made me a speaker.
02:23So thank you, Mr. President.
02:25That's good, too.
02:27And Gretchen, I think everybody knows.
02:29So we're working on that very hard.
02:31And I think it'll be, I think we'll come home with a winner for Michigan.
02:35Okay?
02:36Let's do it.
02:36I just spoke with the Secretary of Defense.
02:39Sometimes we call him the Secretary of War.
02:40It used to be called the Secretary of War.
02:42They changed it when we became a little bit politically correct.
02:47But I think we're in great shape.
02:49We're going to be in great shape.
02:50So thank you very much for being here.
02:52Thank you very much, Matt.
02:53Congratulations.
02:54Great job.
02:55So we'll start with the first orders.
02:57And I think we have one for a man named Mike Huckabee.
03:01Does anyone know Mike Huckabee?
03:03Yes, sir.
03:03He's going to be a great ambassador to Israel.
03:08And they're thrilled to have him.
03:10That I can tell you.
03:10Go ahead.
03:11Yes, sir.
03:11So the Senate confirmed Governor Huckabee to be your next ambassador to Israel earlier today.
03:17That's his commission as ambassador.
03:19And then we also have a transmittal letter to the president of Israel requesting that he accept Governor Huckabee's or excuse me, Ambassador Huckabee's credentials.
03:32He's going to be fantastic.
03:34He's going to bring home the bacon.
03:37Even though bacon isn't too big in Israel.
03:41That's just a third letter.
03:42I had to clear that up.
03:43Thank you, sir.
03:54Congratulations to Mike Huckabee.
03:58Next, sir, this is a big one.
04:00As you've consistently identified, restoring our maritime dominance as a nation is very important.
04:07From shipbuilding to having a merchant marine that's capable of supporting American military efforts, really up and down the line,
04:16restoring maritime dominance has been a priority of this administration.
04:21This executive order, which was prepared primarily by your National Security Council staff and National Security Advisor Walt,
04:27has a number of very significant policy steps, all aimed at restoring American maritime dominance
04:34and ensuring that we have the shipbuilding capacity and ability to compete globally, both militarily and in the civilian space as well.
04:42And that could be a good one for Michigan, too, because we're going to be spending a lot of money on shipbuilding.
04:48We're way, way, way behind.
04:49We used to build a ship a day, and now we don't do a ship a year, practically, and we have the capacity to do it.
04:55So we'll talk to you about that.
04:58Okay, Matt, think about that.
05:00That's a natural.
05:10Okay.
05:12Shipbuilding.
05:13That's a good one.
05:16Okay.
05:18Thank you, sir.
05:18The next executive order relates to defense procurement.
05:22Our current defense procurement process has been criticized by many folks on both sides of the aisle as being too slow to adapt to new and changing technologies,
05:33not delivering the sorts of weapons and systems that our warfighters need in order to compete on the battlefields of the future.
05:39So with this executive order, we're going to be modernizing the procurement structure the Department of Defense uses to allow it to more quickly adapt to changing circumstances around the world.
05:50And we're also going to be launching a review of existing procurement programs to ensure that we're getting value for the money and to ensure that we're getting the best possible systems in the field.
06:00And which are currently horrible.
06:02I'll tell you, they're horrible.
06:03That process is ridiculous.
06:06What they do, they get the highest price and not even good-looking equipment.
06:11And we're changing it.
06:12We're going to change it to the best.
06:13So this is very, very important.
06:25I want to say hello to Brooke.
06:26Well, look at Brooke.
06:28She got the cost of eggs down 87%.
06:3087%, Governor.
06:32We have somebody that's done a great job at the Department of Agriculture.
06:37And Kristi Noem, who perhaps a few of them have heard of.
06:42She has done the most unbelievable job as somebody that's watching over our country at the border.
06:50And with Tom Holman and your whole staff of tremendous people.
06:55So thank you.
06:56Who would think that she is, like, meant for that job, huh?
07:01She's meant for it, so I just saw you there, both.
07:04Thank you very much.
07:06Keep the work.
07:06Good.
07:07We'll do it later.
07:09Please.
07:12Thank you, sir.
07:13Lastly, in the defense space, one persistent issue that we've had in terms of the issue of foreign defense sales,
07:23that we're unable to provide weapons systems in a reliable, effective way to key allies of ours.
07:30And a key driver of that is inefficiencies and inconsistencies with the process by which we approve foreign military sales.
07:38So this executive order is going to direct your Department of Defense, Department of State, other relevant departments and agencies to rework our system of foreign defense sales
07:47to ensure that we can provide equipment, creating American jobs, and providing, obviously, revenue to American defense manufacturers,
07:54but provide key military equipment to our key allies in a reliable, effective way.
08:01Okay.
08:01That's good.
08:03All very important.
08:10Okay.
08:11Because our budget is just about approved, and it's a big budget, and we want to spend the money properly, get the best equipment in the world.
08:23We rebuilt our military during my first term, rebuilt it entirely, beautiful.
08:29And then someone was given away to Afghanistan, so stupidly, the most embarrassing day in the history of our country, I think.
08:35But still, we have to fix it up a little bit, and that's what we're going to do.
08:41We're going to do a good job of it, too.
08:43Next up, sir, we have a series of executive orders and memorandum all relating to deregulation,
08:49which has obviously been a major priority of your administration.
08:52The first of these is an executive order.
08:54The Biden administration launched what you've called a war on showers.
08:58They had certain regulations that basically killed the water pressure of showers and other water appliances.
09:08You can say it.
09:09Go ahead.
09:10What are the appliances?
09:11I mean, it's everything, sir.
09:13Sinks and toilets.
09:14Dishwashers, toilets, sinks.
09:17But the shower heads are a huge deal.
09:18There's no water.
09:19You don't get water.
09:20It's ridiculous.
09:20So with this executive order, we're effectively going to be reversing that set of regulations to ensure that Americans have choice in the consumer market.
09:29If they want a low-flow shower head, they can buy one.
09:31If they want a real-deal shower head, they should have the ability to get one.
09:35That's true.
09:36You buy a new house, you pay a lot of money, and the developers, you're not allowed to do anything more.
09:42They put restrictors on.
09:43They used to have a restrictor where you could take it out, but now they weld it in.
09:47And you take a shower or wash your hands, whatever you do, including dishwashers where no water comes out.
09:53But you wash your hands.
09:55And in my case, I like to take a nice shower to take care of my beautiful hair.
10:01I have to stand under the shower for 15 minutes until it gets wet.
10:04It comes out drip, drip, drip.
10:06It's ridiculous.
10:08And what you do is you end up washing your hands five times longer.
10:11So it's the same water.
10:13And we're going to open it up so that people can live.
10:15And we're going to hopefully have Congress approve it so it's memorialized.
10:19We're going to try and get all of these things, including straws, a little thing like straws.
10:24We did straws a month ago where the paper straws were melting.
10:29They were dissolving.
10:30They weren't working well.
10:32And we went back to the plastic straws.
10:35We're going to get Congress to memorialize just about everything we've done here because most of it's common sense.
10:40But the water is horrible.
10:42When you go into a new, anytime you see a new faucet, you know it's going to be a long, it's going to be a long wash of the hands.
10:49And so we're changing.
10:51It's a big deal.
10:52I did it in the first administration.
10:54Biden came in and it's like the first week and he had no idea what he was doing.
10:58But somebody told him to do it.
10:59And his first week, he put the restrictions on all the bathroom utilities, even in areas that have so much water.
11:06They don't know what to do with it.
11:07You see those areas all the time with the flooding.
11:09So we're doing that and we're going to get all of the things that you've seen.
11:15I think we set a record.
11:16We're up to almost 200 and 500 amendments.
11:22Nobody's ever done that.
11:23We're going to get them approved by Congress.
11:25So they're memorialized.
11:28And we look forward to doing that.
11:30Very important.
11:31And Congress is going to start working on it as soon as we get the big, beautiful deal done.
11:36The big, beautiful deal is important.
11:38The biggest tax cuts in the history of our country.
11:41That's important.
11:50Okay.
11:56Okay.
11:56Is that okay?
11:57It's a 10.
11:58We're taking a good shower.
11:59Amazing.
12:00We rate the signatures.
12:02That was a 10.
12:03That's why I should.
12:04This is another executive order relating to deregulation, sir.
12:07There are a lot of regulations on the books that either promote monopoly directly or prevent
12:13new market entrants from entering into a given market.
12:17The net effect of that is very negative for consumers.
12:20So what this executive order is going to do is direct your departments and agencies to
12:25work with the FTC, with the Attorney General, with the Department of Justice to ensure that
12:30the regulations we have on the books don't function as anti-competitive barriers to new market entrants.
12:37The net effect of all of that is going to hopefully be market forces that redound to the benefit of consumers
12:44and ordinary Americans as opposed to monopolistic businesses.
12:48I said yesterday he was a great, great student at Harvard before it went bad.
12:55It's gone really bad.
12:56Now they're teaching their students mathematics, basic mathematics.
12:59Can you believe it?
13:01So what does that mean?
13:01They're allowing people in that can't add two and two?
13:05What's going on at Harvard?
13:07I went to law school there, sir, and it was pretty liberal when I was there, but it's gone way off the deep end in recent years.
13:12I don't know if you read that.
13:13They're teaching them basic mathematics, people that got accepted to Harvard.
13:16How come they got accepted if they don't have mathematics?
13:22And we're holding back $8 billion.
13:24Can we believe?
13:25We give Harvard $8 billion.
13:29And we're holding back Columbia.
13:31We're holding back a lot of the schools because they were woke and they've hurt a lot of people.
13:38Okay.
13:42Thank you, sir.
13:45There are a large number of regulations on the books.
13:48These are regulations that are currently in effect that we believe blatantly violate the law, blatantly violate Supreme Court precedent that otherwise are just blatantly illegal.
13:58So what this presidential memorandum does basically just directs the heads of your departments and agencies to follow the law and to cease enforcing regulations that are blatantly illegal or unconstitutional.
14:12It's a big deal.
14:14It's a really big deal.
14:23It's really very important that we get these memorialized in Congress.
14:28It's very important for the long run.
14:31Right?
14:32Yes, sir.
14:33This is the last of our deregulatory EOs for the day.
14:37This is zero-based regulatory budgeting.
14:40The idea here is that over time, regulations accumulate on the books and in the federal register.
14:45And people aren't taking a close, detailed look at what's on the books and clearing them out as times change or as regulations become dated or ineffective.
14:54What this executive order is going to require is each of your departments and agencies to scrutinize on a continuing rolling basis all of the regulations they actually have on the books
15:04and sunset those that either no longer serve a purpose or the departments and agencies can't identify a specific reason for keeping them active.
15:12Okay.
15:24Okay.
15:30Thank you, sir.
15:34Sir, you've taken action against a number of law firms that have, in one way or another, been involved in the weaponization of government or actions of lawfare.
15:42One of those law firms is Sussman-Godfrey, similar to what we've done previously with other law firms.
15:48This is an executive order that takes certain measures against Sussman-Godfrey to ensure that they can't access government resources, government buildings,
15:57scrutinizing certain aspects of their practices as a law firm, given their previous activities.
16:04And we signed with many law firms, the ones that we thought were inappropriate.
16:14And they've all agreed to pay a hundred, let's say a million dollars.
16:24They play, they, they went for some pretty big numbers.
16:28I guess we have a total.
16:29What do we have?
16:30What's the total about, what's the total right now, Steve, about, would you say?
16:34Getting close to probably six, seven hundred million now, I would think.
16:38We've multiple at a hundred million, some at a hundred twenty-five million.
16:42So the numbers are adding up.
16:43We're going to be close to a billion soon.
16:45One at forty million, forty million dollars.
16:51Millions of dollars an hour.
16:54But they don't admit guilt.
16:56Remember that, they don't admit guilt.
16:58But, and we have another five to go, I think, five of them.
17:01And this one is just, we're just starting a process with this one, then?
17:04Yes, sir.
17:05All right, because there were some very bad things that happened with these law firms.
17:10And this firm was very involved in the election misconduct.
17:15Weren't they all involved in the election misconduct?
17:18I think they were all involved.
17:19Yes.
17:19Anyway, so they went from forty million dollars to a hundred and twenty-five million dollars.
17:27And most of them are at about a hundred million dollars, right?
17:30All right.
17:41Thank you, sir.
17:43The next presidential memorandum we have for you relates to Miles Taylor.
17:47You may recall that Miles Taylor served in the Department of Homeland Security during
17:52your previous administration.
17:53In his capacity with the Department of Homeland Security, he leaked classified information.
17:58He wrote a book under the pseudonym Anonymous, making outrageous claims both about your administration
18:05and about others in it.
18:07What this presidential memorandum is going to do, one, it's going to strip any act of clearance
18:11that he has in light of his past activities involving classified information.
18:16It's also going to order the Department of Justice to investigate his activities to see what
18:22else might come up in that context, given his egregious behavior during your previous administration.
18:26And I had no idea who this guy was.
18:29I had no idea.
18:30I saw him on CNN, or one of them, I guess, CNN, a lot.
18:34He'd be on all the time saying that the president is the president.
18:38I had no idea.
18:40It's like, you know, in this office you have a lot of young people, and they're here.
18:44I'll see him for two minutes, and I assume he was in the office.
18:48But I barely remember him.
18:51Barely remember him.
18:52It was somebody that went out, wrote a book, and said all sorts of terrible things.
18:59They were all lies.
19:00And it was like he was this gentleman or that gentleman, like I dealt with him all the time.
19:06I had no idea who this guy was.
19:07I said, who the hell is Miles Taylor?
19:10And he made a living on going on CNN talking about the president.
19:15And I think what he did, he wrote a book, Anonymous, said all sorts of lies and bad things.
19:19And I think it's like a traitor.
19:25It's like spying.
19:26He walks into the office.
19:27He's supposed to be sitting here.
19:29A lot of people, you know, I'll be here and there'll be 20 people standing in the room.
19:33There'll be oftentimes young people in the office.
19:36I assume he was one of them, at least.
19:38But I didn't know anything about him.
19:40And he wrote a book, Anonymous, and I always thought it was terrible.
19:45And now we have a chance to find out whether or not it was terrible.
19:49But it was a work of fiction, had a lot of publicity, got himself a nice job with CNN or one of them.
19:57And I think we have to do something about it.
19:59You can't have that happen.
20:00If that happens to other presidents, it wouldn't be sustainable for other presidents.
20:06I seem to be able to sustain.
20:09But if that happened to other presidents, I mean, it's just unfair.
20:13And if it was a Democrat president, I'd say that's a terrible thing.
20:16A thing like that can happen.
20:17That's a terrible thing.
20:18And it's time to find out whether or not somebody can do that.
20:23Can they write a book about very confidential meetings?
20:27And, you know, because they happen to be one of a lot of people in a room.
20:30And they go out and write a book.
20:32And worse than that, call it Anonymous, like it's a big deal.
20:35And everybody's saying, who is it?
20:36Who is it?
20:37Who is it?
20:37Then it was found out who he was a long time later.
20:43And you get a lot of publicity off that one.
20:45He's like a promoter.
20:47But we're going to find out whether or not somebody is allowed to do that.
20:51I think it's a very important case.
20:52And I think he's guilty of treason, if you want to know the truth.
20:55But we'll find out.
20:56And I assume we're recommending this to the Department of Justice.
21:00Yes, sir.
21:09Okay.
21:09Good.
21:11Terrible guy.
21:13Similarly, sir.
21:14Christopher Krebs, the former head of CISA.
21:17This is a man who weaponized his position against free speech in the election context, in the context of COVID-19.
21:26This is another, it's a similar presidential memorandum to the one you just signed.
21:31It addresses his access to government, existing clearances he might have, and further instructs your Department of Justice,
21:36other aspects of your government, to investigate some of the malign acts that he participated in while he was still head of CISA.
21:45This is another one.
21:47I don't know that I met him.
21:48I'm sure I met him.
21:49But I didn't know.
21:51And he came out right after the election, which was a rigged election, a badly rigged election.
21:57We did phenomenally in that election.
21:58Look what happened to our country because it opened borders.
22:01Millions of people coming into our country.
22:04Russia and Ukraine, that would have never happened.
22:07October 7th would have never happened.
22:09Afghanistan, the way that they withdrew with 13 dead, but so many killed, actually.
22:15I mean, so many killed outside of the 13 soldiers.
22:18Hundreds of people killed.
22:21And maybe, I don't know, never mentioned, but I mentioned it, 42 or 43 people so badly injured, the legs, the arms blown off, the face.
22:32And this is all because of an incompetent group of people that preceded us, and that would have never happened.
22:41And this guy Krebs was saying, oh, the election was great.
22:46It was great.
22:46Well, it's been proven that it was not only not great.
22:50When you look at all these lawyers and law firms that are signing, giving us hundreds of millions of dollars,
22:58it was proven by so many different ways and so many different forms,
23:02from the legislatures not approving to the 51 intelligence agents that worked from all of the different scamming operations.
23:13It was a very corrupt election.
23:16They used COVID to cheat.
23:17And we're going to find out about this guy, too, because this guy's a wise guy.
23:23He said, we've proved this is the most secure election in the history of our country.
23:28Now, this was a disaster.
23:29And, frankly, we should go to paper ballots, same-day voting, voter ID, and one other thing.
23:37You should get a little certificate that says you're a citizen of our country.
23:42You get a citizen piece of paper that says you're a citizen before you can vote.
23:48But you want voter ID and you want paper ballots.
23:51And you really want same-day voting.
23:53If you don't have same-day voting, they decide to change the air condition.
23:55Oh, we're fixing the air condition.
23:56Let's move all these boxes.
23:58We'll bring them back in a few days.
24:01And then they don't bring back those boxes.
24:04We're going to have safe elections.
24:06We have to have borders.
24:09Ideally, we have to have a free press, which we don't have.
24:12We don't have a free press.
24:13We have a very dishonest press.
24:15This is an honor.
24:16We're going to find out whether or not he was right.
24:19This was a disgraceful election.
24:21And this guy sat back saying, well, I'm a member, or like he's a Republican or something.
24:28And right, almost right from the beginning.
24:30And he's trying to make the case that this election was a safe election.
24:37I think he said, this is the safest election we've ever had.
24:42And yet, every day you read in the papers about more and more fraud that's discovered.
24:46He's the fraud.
24:47He's a disgrace.
24:48So we'll find out whether or not it was a safe election.
24:52And if it wasn't, he's got a big price to pay.
24:56And he's a bad guy.
24:58Here's another one.
24:58I have no idea who he is.
25:00Krebs.
25:01I have no idea who he is.
25:04I'm sure he was in the room at some point, just like you're all in the room.
25:07But I have no idea who he was.
25:09So thank you very much.
25:10Those last two are very important, I think, for the country.
25:12Thank you, sir.
25:13Lastly, we just have three proclamations.
25:16These are the sorts of things that most presidents use an auto pen for.
25:20You obviously don't like using the auto pen much, if at all.
25:23The first of these is National Former Prisoner of War Recognition Day.
25:28This is one that you did in each of, I believe, each of the previous years of your previous administration.
25:34Recognizes former prisoners of war.
25:36More generally, this proclamation is written to acknowledge the great steps you've made both in this administration
25:43and your previous administration on behalf of veterans, homeless veterans, others who have suffered in that way.
25:49And basically stating that it's a priority of your administration to ensure that veterans and homeless veterans are cared for properly.
25:58And you know what?
25:59They ought to find out who was using that auto pen.
26:01Because whoever that person was, he or she, was like the president of the United States.
26:10And I'm against auto pens.
26:13I think auto pens are not a good thing.
26:16Especially when you're talking about documents like we're signing today.
26:21If he can't sign, then he can't be president.
26:23It's pretty simple.
26:24Let's see whether or not he could sign.
26:27But I think that should be tested.
26:28I really think that should be tested.
26:30It's another one.
26:30And you may think about it.
26:32Because how can a man that, did he really know that when they gave all false information on the council?
26:40I mean, the whole unselect committee of political lunatics, they destroyed all the information.
26:50You can't get any information.
26:51They went for like a year and a half, almost two years, screaming and ranting and raving.
26:56Democrats plus two worse than Democrats.
26:59You had Cheney, Liz Cheney, and crying Adam Kissinger.
27:06Crying Adam.
27:08Every time I looked at him, he was crying.
27:09The guy was a crier.
27:11But you can't do that.
27:13You just can't do that.
27:15So we're going to find out a lot.
27:17I think we're going to find out a lot.
27:18These last three or four have been very, they've been very, very interesting.
27:23We'll see what happens.
27:26But I don't think a president should be allowed to use an auto pen when they're saying very, you know, important legislation.
27:32I think a president should sign it, not use an auto pen.
27:36And we're going to find out whether or not he knew what the hell he was doing.
27:39I'm sure at this point he'll say, I signed it.
27:41They'll tell him what to say.
27:43But to give pardons to people that destroyed all the information.
27:51If you destroyed information on a civil case, just a civil case, not a criminal case, a civil case, they put you in jail for that.
27:59And they found out that Pelosi was the one that was in charge of the security of the Capitol.
28:05She knew all about it.
28:06And she admitted her guilt to her daughter, who was a movie documentary person.
28:12I'm sure her daughter is not too happy about that.
28:15I'm sure Crazy Nancy is not too happy.
28:17But we found out all the things, everything.
28:19And we go for the information.
28:21So we've destroyed all of that information.
28:23If I ever destroyed it, I wouldn't be sitting here right now.
28:26I guarantee you that I'd be sitting someplace else.
28:29So I think it's something that we should really look at because it's so important.
28:33The whole concept of an auto pen.
28:36Because whoever, whoever, you know, auto pens are run by somebody.
28:39Whoever ran the auto pen was president of the United States.
28:42And I would be willing to bet that Biden didn't know, probably didn't know anything about any of it.
28:49Very dangerous, very dangerous.
28:52So you're going to check that out, right?
28:56Yes, sir.
28:57We're working on it right now, sir.
28:58This is just another proclamation, sir, declaring National Crime Victims' Rights Week.
29:03You've obviously made it a major priority of your administration to track down and at times deport criminals
29:09who have committed violence on our streets, who have victimized so many people.
29:13This is an annual proclamation that hopefully gets Americans to remember that when crimes occur, there are real victims,
29:21there are real people who are affected, and there are people who suffer as a result.
29:25Okay.
29:26It's very important.
29:28I just want to add, so we're working very hard with Democrats, the governor, with Matt Hall,
29:36with a lot of transportation, Sean and all of the people trying to keep Selfridge Air Force Base open, strong, thriving.
29:48And I think we're going to be successful, governor.
29:50I think we'll be very successful that we've gotten some good feedback from Pete Hegseth and Department of Defense.
29:57And they're talking about F-16s, they're talking about F-35s, you know, et cetera.
30:03It's a great piece of property.
30:05It's a great location.
30:06And it's a great state.
30:08So I think we're going to come back with a very good answer.
30:11We're also working on a certain fish that's taken over a beautiful lake called Michigan, right?
30:21And that's a tough one.
30:23That's a tough one.
30:24It's very...
30:25Do you want to just talk about that?
30:26Sure, Mr. President.
30:27Yeah.
30:28First of all, I want to thank you for caring so much about Michigan.
30:32We've been working a long time.
30:33We couldn't get Joe Biden to do anything about either one of these issues, particularly Selfridge Air Force Base.
30:39It'll be critical to Michigan's economy and our security when you're able to deliver us another mission there.
30:46But on the Asian carp, you know, for years, when Obama was there, we could never get anyone to do anything about this invasive species that's going to destroy our Great Lakes.
30:56You know how important recreational fishing and so much of that is to our state.
31:03Because of your work, we're hopeful that we'll get a solution there and we'll get that barrier built so we can protect our Great Lakes.
31:11So thank you, Mr. President.
31:12And they're very powerful fish.
31:14I mean, I assume they jump out of the water.
31:17They jump at the fishermen.
31:18I mean, I've never said anything like it.
31:20And has this gotten into any of the other lakes yet?
31:23Because you would think it would be pretty easy because they're all sort of connected.
31:26Governor?
31:26It's why we're working so hard to make sure that, you know, we work with the Army Corps and erect a barrier so that the Asian carp can't get into Lake Michigan.
31:35It'll devastate the ecosystem, the economy, tourism.
31:39And it's 20 percent of the world's fresh waters in the Great Lakes, Mr. President, which is why it's so important that as a nation, we protect the first waters.
31:48And, you know, all of a sudden, I assume the lakes, they're all interconnected, right?
31:54So at some point, they're going to be in the other lakes.
31:58And so we're going to work hard on that.
32:00I spoke with the Army Corps of Engineers, and they have a method.
32:03It's a pretty gruesome method, but it's a method.
32:07And I think they know what to do.
32:09So we're going to work on that very hard.
32:11And thank you, Governor, very much.
32:13Sort of a bipartisan thing when you get right down to it.
32:16It's a very expensive thing, actually.
32:18It costs a lot.
32:18I looked at the numbers.
32:19I said, well, but we have to save Lake Michigan because these fish, they eat everything in their way, including the other fish.
32:27They eat everything.
32:29Are people endangered by the fish?
32:31I think it's, I mean, they're going to eat all the fish there.
32:34We won't be able to fish anymore.
32:36And that's a big deal in Lake Michigan.
32:37There's a lot of fishing, recreation.
32:40So it's going to be a problem there.
32:42But you're right, it's bipartisan, sir.
32:44But you're the one taking action on these issues.
32:46We couldn't get Biden to do it on Selfridge.
32:49This thing has been delayed for, what, 15 years where we were trying to do it.
32:53It started under Obama where we were trying to do it.
32:55He wouldn't do anything about it.
32:57So we appreciate you paying so much attention to this and taking action.
33:00Well, I would, and the governor, in all fairness, called me about it.
33:03I had seen it, and she called me, and John James called me, and we spoke with your office.
33:10And it's, you know, I want to put that down.
33:12It really is bipartisan.
33:14It's great to see it, actually.
33:16It's great to see that.
33:17And that includes Selfridge, too.
33:18And we're going to get it done, and we're going to, we'll all stand there together and cut a ribbon.
33:24Okay?
33:25Gretchen, good.
33:26That's good.
33:26Thank you very much.
33:28I'm glad you brought it up, and I'm glad you brought it up, Matt.
33:31Appreciate it.
33:31And I know you two get along pretty well, right?
33:34Yeah.
33:37About 70% of the time.
33:39I think you do.
33:42All right, good.
33:42We'll have a big, we'll have something to celebrate pretty soon, so I'm pretty sure about that.
33:46Okay?
33:46Thank you, sir.
33:47Thank you, Gretchen, very much.
33:49Okay, do you have any questions?
33:51Mr. President, where does the TikTok deal stand, given what we've seen, you know, the tariffs of China?
33:56I'm going to be wrong, but obviously I would say right now China's not exactly thrilled about signing it.
34:01We have a deal with some very good people, some very rich companies that would do a great job with it,
34:07but we're going to have to wait to see what's going to happen with China, so.
34:13So is it all clear or?
34:14No, it's on the table very much.
34:16I think China's going to want to do it, actually.
34:18Mr. President, can you explain more of what you believe is the end game with China?
34:22Are you waiting for President Xi to blink?
34:24How do you think this is all going to be resolved?
34:27Look, for years we've been ripped off and taken advantage of by China and others, in all fairness,
34:32but by China, that's the big one, and it's just one of those things.
34:38You know, we're making $2 billion a day right now, this country, $2 billion a day with tariffs,
34:46and they were making $2 billion a day.
34:49We'll be making more now when you see what happened today.
34:51I don't know if it's still there.
34:52You know, this was, I looked an hour ago, but we were up, like, close to 3,000 points.
34:58Nobody's ever seen a day like that.
34:59I think that's a record, isn't it, fellas?
35:01Definitely.
35:02Is that a record?
35:03It's a big record.
35:03Who would have thought we were going to have a record like that after watching?
35:07But because the geniuses of the world, they get it.
35:13Our country is very strong.
35:15We were left a very, very weakened country, both economically, financially, because of all
35:21of the tariffs and all of the other companies just raiding us and ripping us off.
35:25And also, at the border, where 21 million people were allowed to come in, many of those people
35:30were criminals.
35:32But the people that do this for a living, some of them are very smart, and some of them
35:37aren't smart at all.
35:39But these guys are very smart, and my group is very smart.
35:42My whole group is smart.
35:43And you've done so amazing on the border.
35:46I read the other day that there were nine people and hundreds of thousands two years
35:51ago with Biden, and we had nine.
35:54We had it down to nine.
35:55And they were all let in for medical reasons.
35:58They were in bad shape.
35:59We let them in for medical reasons, not even for anything else.
36:02So you've been amazing.
36:04But that's a big thing.
36:05I think it's one of the greatest problems.
36:10I've never seen anything like it.
36:12Open borders, the whole world was emptied out.
36:15Prisons from all over the world, from the Congo, in Africa, from Africa to Asia, a lot
36:22in South America, but it wasn't just South America.
36:24Prisons emptied out, and I sent it outside with the drivers before, but El Salvador has
36:31been amazing, a job that the president's done.
36:34He's coming to see me next week, and we look forward to that.
36:37But that's really been amazing.
36:39Yes.
36:40Mr. President, the EU also announced increases in tariffs today.
36:46Why not treat...
36:47Bad timing for them.
36:48That's bad timing.
36:49Why not treat them in time?
36:51They didn't put them in.
36:52No, they threatened them.
36:53But they picked a later date, which our expectation is it's going to be later still.
36:58Okay.
36:58I'm glad that they held back.
37:00If this was the strategy all along to bring them to the table.
37:08Why did you instruct or advise, or maybe they did it on their own, some of your top aides
37:13to say this is not a negotiation, to hold the line, that they were going to hold the line,
37:19that you were not going to change a line?
37:20Well, a lot of times it's not a negotiation until it is, and that happens.
37:24And, you know, I said outside that you have to have flexibility to do it right, and that's
37:28what we have.
37:29And we brought everybody to the table.
37:31And it may not be a negotiation.
37:33It may not last.
37:34I mean, you know, things may be asked that I think are not fair to us.
37:38Look, we've been ripped off by essentially everybody for 35 years.
37:44This is not just a new thing.
37:46And Roger Penske just left.
37:48He's a great gentleman, great man, actually.
37:50And he said no other president would have had the guts to do this.
37:53And I believe that's right.
37:54They wouldn't have done it.
37:55They should have done this a long time ago.
37:56A long time ago, they should have done it.
37:58I started it with China.
38:00I took in hundreds of billions of dollars in tariffs and taxes from China in my first
38:05term.
38:06And we had the greatest economy.
38:07We were up 88% on the stock market.
38:10That was the greatest ever in the history of our country.
38:14But it had to be done.
38:15It was something that had to be done.
38:17Mr. President, thank you so much.
38:21Which countries will be negotiating first?
38:24Do you have any criteria?
38:25Because, for example, Brazil and the UK, they do not have deficits with the U.S.
38:29They have a surplus.
38:30They do not have a surplus.
38:31They have deficits with the U.S.
38:33So what is the criteria?
38:34And also, would you consider talking or meeting with Xi Jinping?
38:39Oh, sure.
38:40He's a friend of mine.
38:41I like him.
38:43President Xi.
38:44I like him.
38:45I respect him.
38:46But they haven't treated our country.
38:49I'm sure I've met with him.
38:51On the other countries, we have Japan is here.
38:55South Korea is here.
38:57Others are here.
38:58And we're trying to see him.
39:01From what I hear, it's much more than 75.
39:03I said 75 plus.
39:04So many.
39:05Everybody wants to make a deal, actually.
39:08And, you know, we want to do what's right for our country.
39:11We also want to do what's right for the world.
39:13The world is important.
39:14I mean, it's the world, right?
39:16And I think we're going to make a lot of people very happy.
39:20And I think investing in the United States of America will be the greatest investment
39:24that anybody's ever made.
39:26Mr. President, is it interesting to see the sectoral tariffs, so the pharmaceuticals, steel.
39:31Is that something you're still considering moving forward?
39:33Yeah, well, I will be because we want them coming back.
39:36You know, we realized during COVID that we don't make our drugs and our pharmaceuticals
39:41in this country.
39:42So I realized that.
39:44And it was a big realization.
39:47We had to go to China to get drugs.
39:50We had to go to other places.
39:52I won't even mention the names, but we had to go to other places.
39:55We don't make it.
39:56And that's because we let them leave.
39:58And now if they want to come back, we're going to put tariffs on the pharmaceutical
40:03companies and they're going to all want to come back.
40:05They're going to come back.
40:06I'm not going to pay them any money like Biden with the chip deal.
40:09That chip deal was horrible.
40:10They give billions and billions of dollars to chip companies.
40:13All they have is money.
40:14They have so much money and they give billions of dollars that they're just going to keep
40:18the money.
40:18They're not going to spend it.
40:20And the only thing that's going to bring them back is you say we have a barrier.
40:23You have to pay 50 percent or 100 percent or 200 percent.
40:28And if they have to pay that, they're going to say, we're not going to pay that.
40:32We're going to build here.
40:33And that's what happened.
40:34We're the biggest, most prestigious chip company in the world, spending two to three hundred
40:39billion dollars, billion.
40:41Think of that billion dollars to build essentially one massive plant.
40:46It'll be one of the largest plants in the world.
40:48And we're going to get them very quickly.
40:50We're going to get them energy.
40:51We're going to get them the electricity they need and the energy that they need.
40:55And it'll be approved by Lee Zeldin, a total professional.
40:59And it'll be approved very quickly.
41:01They'll get their zoning very quickly.
41:03They'll have everything done in a matter of months.
41:07Thank you, sir.
41:09You've procured a record amount of private sector investments since your election, seven
41:14trillion dollars.
41:15You talked about the importance of all that.
41:17Can you talk about how these investments will have a positive impact on families who felt
41:23like the previous economy left them behind and why your executive orders on coal yesterday
41:28is so important given the amount of manufacturing that you're ushering back in?
41:33And which is correct.
41:35We have, I would say, more than seven trillion dollars now, right, of investment coming in.
41:41Apple is coming in for 500 billion alone.
41:43We have other companies coming in with massive numbers.
41:46We have car companies that are coming in.
41:50We've never seen anything like it.
41:52Maybe in the 1940s or 50s or something, but we've never seen anything like it.
41:55They had three plants canceled in Mexico.
41:58Not that we want to hurt Mexico, but we're for us.
42:03And that's what my job is.
42:04It's not to take care of other countries, but I want to help other countries as much as I
42:09can, but we have to take care of America first.
42:11And it's about America first.
42:13So we have many, many companies coming in that would have never come in if we didn't
42:17win the election and then put the tariffs on.
42:21And they're coming in because when they build in the United States, there are no tariffs.
42:25You don't have to pay any tariffs.
42:27So instead of paying 30, 40, 50 percent or 25 percent, but it could go a lot higher in
42:33some of the industries.
42:34So we have steel mills right now that are raging.
42:38The steel industry was gone.
42:39If I didn't put the tariffs on steel because China was dumping massive amounts of steel
42:44in my first term and I put tariffs on it, I saved the steel industry.
42:48But now it's going to thrive, maybe like never before.
42:51I mean, if you go back to U.S.
42:52Steel from 90 years ago, it was incredible.
42:55It was the number one company in the world for a long time.
42:57That's why we don't want to see it go to Japan.
43:00And we love Japan, but we, you know, U.S.
43:02Steel is a very special company.
43:05We don't want it to go to Japan or any other place.
43:08So we're working with them.
43:09And, you know, I don't know if they need any money now.
43:12I'll be honest with you there.
43:13They hit gold.
43:15They hit gold because if you look at it, they have such orders for steel now.
43:20It's incredible.
43:21What's going on is what's going on in our country is incredible with respect to plants.
43:27So we lost 90,000 plants and factories from the beginning of NAFTA, the worst trade deal
43:34ever made in the history of this world, but certainly in the history of trade.
43:39There's never been a worse trade deal.
43:41We were able to cancel that.
43:42We had to get approval from Congress.
43:43It was like it was like a disastrous curse because, you know, you had to go to Congress
43:50to get it terminated.
43:51You couldn't just terminate it because it was a bad deal.
43:53And you had people in Congress that didn't want to do it because they had other reasons,
43:57maybe bad reasons that mostly not there anymore, those people.
44:02But it's amazing what's happening.
44:04I appreciate that question because it's incredible.
44:06I don't think we've ever seen anything like it.
44:09Seven trillion dollars.
44:11And it's much more than that because, you know, these are places that we know.
44:15Seven trillion dollars is unheard of.
44:18I'd never looked at the Biden numbers, but you could go a whole year and it was it was peanuts.
44:24People, everybody was leaving.
44:26They weren't coming in.
44:27They were leaving.
44:27And that means jobs are leaving.
44:29And so we're not we're not playing games.
44:32We're going to make this country greater than ever before.
44:34Thank you for that question.
44:35Mr. President, for the past few days, we've heard from this administration no pause.
44:45Was this idea of doing a pause, did that just come about this morning?
44:49Can you tell us exactly what came into consideration for you and your advisers?
44:53For a period of time, I would say this morning over the last few days, I've been thinking about it.
44:57I've been dealing with Scott, with Howard, with some other people that are very professional.
45:02You know, and I think it probably came together early this morning, fairly early this morning, just wrote it up.
45:11I didn't we didn't have the use of we didn't have access to lawyers or we just wrote it up.
45:16We wrote it up from our hearts.
45:18Right.
45:18It was written from the heart and I think it was well written, too.
45:23But it was written from the heart.
45:24It was written as something that I think was very positive for the world and for us.
45:30And we don't want to hurt countries that don't need to be hurt.
45:34And they all want to negotiate.
45:36The only problem is, you know, you can only do so many at one time.
45:38It's like it's we want to do it right.
45:42We want to get it right.
45:44We want to take care of them, but we have to take care of our country.
45:46So but this was something certainly we've been talking about for a period of time.
45:50And we decided to pull the trigger and we did it today and we're happy about it.
45:57I didn't know it would have that kind of an impact.
45:59But it's you know, I think you have the biggest increase in the history of the stock market.
46:03That's pretty good.
46:05That's pretty.
46:05You're almost you know, if you keep going, you're going to be back to where it was four weeks ago.
46:10But it was a sick market four weeks ago, you know, because this trade was sick.
46:14It was only a question of time.
46:16I don't blame the tariffs.
46:16I think the tariffs just sort of magnified what was happening.
46:22It was it was sick.
46:24Biden allowed these people to get away with murder.
46:26Biden allowed China to just take advantage of us.
46:29We had like a trillion dollar deficit with China, trillion dollar deficit.
46:33So that was going to only be a matter of time.
46:35I think the tariffs brought it out faster and they magnified the problem.
46:41But I think this was a problem that existed far beyond tariffs.
46:44This is a this was a systemic problem.
46:48And we're going to cure that problem.
46:50And maybe to a large extent we have because we've revealed it and we've revealed it very strongly.
46:55Yes, sir, please.
46:56Thank you, Mr. President.
46:57So it seems China has made some serious missteps here in these negotiations.
47:01And Secretary Besant said earlier you may have goaded them into a tough position here.
47:06I'm wondering, is are you in a way putting together a coalition against China in terms of trade?
47:14Well, no, China, look, they're very capable and I don't blame China for what happened.
47:20I blame the people sitting right at this desk, right behind this desk or another desk.
47:24You get you get your choice of seven.
47:26I happen to pick the resolute, but I blame the people sitting behind in this chair behind this desk for being stupid, incompetent or not having courage.
47:36It should have been done years ago.
47:38This should have been done before Obama, in all fairness.
47:43Not only Biden, Obama.
47:45It should have been done many years ago.
47:46This started with the World Trade Organization, which was owned by China.
47:52It was owned and paid for by China.
47:54They didn't even have to do things.
47:56They considered them a nation that was undeveloped.
48:01They said they were a developing nation.
48:03Well, we're a developing nation, too, if you think about it.
48:05Look at our inner cities.
48:06Look at what's happened.
48:08I think we're starting from ground zero there, right?
48:11So we're a developing nation, too.
48:13No, I don't.
48:15I know it's a lot of people take heat for saying it, but I blame the people sitting at this desk more than I blame China.
48:22If China can get away with what they got away with, with taking hundreds of billions and trillions of dollars right out of our pocket because our people here were stupid.
48:32They were stupid people, maybe corrupt.
48:34I don't know.
48:35I don't know how you can be that stupid.
48:37How do you get to be president?
48:38Then you're stupid.
48:38But they certainly weren't courageous, and they allowed this to happen.
48:43And with Japan and with many other countries, it took advantage of us.
48:47We had deficits with almost every country.
48:51I used to read these things.
48:52The first term I'd read them, I'd actually read the agreements and say, how could anybody agree to this stuff?
48:57So certainly they were rough and they were tough and they were smart and you can blame them.
49:06But I really blame the people that allowed them to do it because, you know, if you could read first grade and you could read these agreements, you'd say, these are terrible deals.
49:16I actually used to say, who would allow deals like this to be made for our country?
49:22And maybe it's people that didn't care.
49:25Maybe it's people that weren't courageous.
49:27Maybe it's people that were corrupt.
49:29I don't know.
49:30But I blame those people more than I blame anybody else.
49:35Mr. President.
49:37You've been very specific in saying that you would like the EU to purchase U.S. energy.
49:42Is there something specific that you would like China to do?
49:47Well, you'll be hearing about that.
49:49Yeah.
49:49There are a lot of things I'd like China to do.
49:51Are there some examples?
49:52And there are a lot of things that I want China to do.
49:54And I'll be telling China what that is.
49:56Not you.
49:57I'm telling China.
49:59Mr. President, you said the other day that if they do not agree to a potential nuclear deal, that it would be very dangerous for them.
50:06What specifically did you mean?
50:07Well, they can't have a nuclear one.
50:08Did you mean military action, though, if they don't agree?
50:11Oh, if necessary?
50:13Absolutely.
50:14Yeah.
50:15Do you have a deadline for these talks?
50:18Yeah, I do.
50:18You're talking about with Iran?
50:20Yes.
50:21Yeah, I do.
50:22Do you have something definitive this weekend, or do you see this as a start of a process?
50:25It's a start.
50:26Do you have a timeline for this?
50:27We have a little time, but we don't have much time.
50:29Who is the start of the process?
50:30Because we're not going to let them have a nuclear weapon.
50:32Is it even awkward to be there, Mr. President?
50:34And we're going to let them thrive.
50:35I want them to thrive.
50:36I want Iran to be great.
50:38The only thing they can't have is a nuclear weapon.
50:41They understand that.
50:42You know, the people are so incredible in Iran, and they're so smart.
50:47They're very smart people.
50:49But, you know, they're in a rough situation, rough regime.
50:53But they understand, and the leaders understand.
50:58And I'm not asking for much.
51:01I just, I don't, they can't have a nuclear weapon.
51:03And I've said that.
51:04And I was a little bit surprised, because when the election was rigged, I figured they'd get the weapon, because with me, they were broke.
51:13They were broke.
51:13They had no money because of the sanctions.
51:16Nobody could buy oil.
51:18We did that to Venezuela just recently.
51:20And we'll do it to other countries if we have to.
51:23I want to see Russia and Ukraine make a deal.
51:28They've got to make a deal.
51:29When schools get blown up and bad things happen, like I'm hearing about, it's no good.
51:35I hope we're going to make a deal with Russia and Ukraine.
51:37But with Iran, yeah, if it requires military, we're going to have military.
51:44Israel will obviously be very much involved in that.
51:47He'll be the leader of that.
51:49But nobody leads us.
51:51We do what we want to do.
51:53When would the talks need to conclude before you might do military?
51:59I can't really be specific.
52:00But, you know, when you start talks, you know if they're going along well or not.
52:04And I would say the conclusion would be when I think they're not going along well.
52:08So that's just a feeling.
52:10Mr. President, on the subject of U.S. troops stationed in Europe, do you have any plans to reduce the number of U.S. troops in Europe or in other NATO countries?
52:20Well, good.
52:20I mean, it depends.
52:22We pay for military over in Europe.
52:25You know, we don't get reimbursed by much.
52:28South Korea, too.
52:29So it will be one of the things we discuss.
52:32That's unrelated to trade, but I think we'll make it part of it because it makes sense.
52:37It would be nice to wrap it all up in one package for each country.
52:40You know, it's nice and clean, and we have plenty of law firms.
52:43These are great law firms that we signed with, the best.
52:45And I think part of the way I'll spend some of the money that we're getting from the law firms, you know, in terms of their legal time, will be, if we can do it, I think we can do it, using these great law firms to represent us with regard to the many, many countries that we'll be dealing with.
53:03We'll have good lawyers representing us.
53:04But we want to have good lawyers, and these are the best, considered the best lawyers in the world, right?
53:09I mean, considered the best in the world.
53:11I don't know.
53:12They just went off a little bit.
53:14Mr. President, two questions.
53:15Don't we run?
53:16Do you have an update on who will be participating or conducting these conversations?
53:20We will be there on Saturday for these direct talks.
53:25And on China, some economists are saying that right now it's technically an embargo on China with 125 percent tariffs.
53:34Are you concerned of escalation beyond the trade war with China?
53:38No, I'm not concerned.
53:40I think President Xi is a very smart guy, and I think we'll end up making a very good deal for both.
53:46But, you know, we've been treated so badly for so many years.
53:51Again, we allow that to happen.
53:53We've been treated so badly for so many years.
53:56But, no, I don't expect that.
53:57I think President Xi is one of the very smart people of the world, and I don't think he'd allow that to happen.
54:05And we're very powerful.
54:07This country is very powerful.
54:09It's far more powerful than people understand.
54:12We have weaponry that nobody has any idea what it is, and it is the most powerful weapons in the world that we have.
54:19More powerful than anybody even, not even close.
54:22So nobody's going to do that.
54:23But I think that if that's what you're referring to, maybe it's not.
54:27But just in terms of basic escalation, which is what you said,
54:31No, I think that President Xi is a man who knows exactly what has to be done.
54:39He's a very smart man.
54:41He loves his country.
54:42I know that for a fact.
54:43I know him very well.
54:44And I think he's going to want to get to a deal.
54:46I think that's going to happen.
54:47We'll get a phone call at some point, and it'll be off to the races.
54:52It'll be a great thing for them.
54:54It'll be a great thing for us.
54:56It's going to be a great thing for the world and for humanity.
55:00Will you have other plans to meet with Qum in Saudi Arabia?
55:03At some point, I will.
55:05At some point.
55:06We'll have to see.
55:07I mean, we have to get there right now.
55:08We've got to get there.
55:09In the meantime, they're losing 2,500, on average, young people every single week.
55:17Think of that.
55:182,500 people a week.
55:20It's not even conceivable.
55:22We've got to get there fast.
55:24Take up labor.
55:25Yes.
55:25Don't you have to increase tariffs on China even more before they come to the table or
55:29give you a phone call?
55:30I can't imagine it.
55:31No.
55:32I can't imagine.
55:33I don't think I'll have to do it.
55:35I don't think we'll have to do it more.
55:37You know, we calculated it very carefully.
55:40By the way, you know, when you hear 100, a lot of people charge much more than that.
55:46Canada charges much more than that to our farmers, our dairy farmers.
55:50Many, many people charge much more than 100 or 125 in this case.
55:56But I don't, you know, it's still a significant number.
55:59I don't see, no, I don't see that.
56:01Yeah, Mr. President, so do you think some of your tariff critics would prefer, you know,
56:08to see the United States go through turmoil than to actually see it succeed just because
56:14they are your policies?
56:17You mean just leave the tariffs the way they are now and just relax, right?
56:21Some people have said that.
56:22Look, again, we're making, it'll be soon, much more than $2 billion a day.
56:29That's not the worst thing that I've ever heard.
56:31So, yeah, some people say that.
56:33But, you know, we look at the other side, too.
56:36I think as the United States, we have an obligation to look also at the other side.
56:40We want what's good for everyone.
56:42I mean, it's America first, but we also want to make sure there's a world that can live
56:47and live happily and all of that.
56:49And so, you know, this is the way I look.
56:52No, but there are people that say, look, where we are now, I've been in worse positions
56:57in my life than making $2 billion a day, plus, plus, right?
57:00It's really plus, plus.
57:01Thank you very much, everybody.
57:02Thank you, press.
57:03Thank you, press.
57:04Cut it out.
57:05Thank you very much.
57:06What you said here, thank you.
57:08The markets are what really changed your mind when it came to...
57:12The markets right now are extremely good.
57:16Thank you, press.
57:18Thank you, guys.
57:20We're here this way.
