00:00Yeah.

00:01Mr. President, can you talk to us about your

00:03communications with China and has President Xi

00:05reached out at all since the tariffs?

00:07The President Well, I don't want to say

00:08who's reached out.

00:09I just say that I think it's going to work out,

00:12hopefully well.

00:13They're very big.

00:15It's hard to get over, if you're me, what they've

00:20done to our country.

00:22They've destroyed our economic base to a large

00:25extent.

00:26The good news is we're very vibrant and we're

00:28going to get it back fast.

00:30We already have.

00:31Look, we're making $2 billion a day now.

00:33And during Biden, we were losing $3 billion a day.

00:40Biden was a disaster.

00:42He was the worst president in the history of our

00:44country.

00:45And, you know, to me, worse than that, because the

00:48money you can make if you have the right guy in

00:50this position, worse than that was what we have

00:53to what they did on the border by allowing the

00:56jails of the world, not South America, all over the

01:00world, to be opened up so that we take everybody from

01:04Africa, Asia, South America, Europe, the bad ones.

01:11They opened up their jails and they dumped them in the

01:13United States.

01:14And now this beautiful young woman who seems to be,

01:17boy, she loves what she does, though.

01:19I think she loves what she does because she's a

01:21patriot.

01:22She hates to see it.

01:23And Tom and all the people.

01:24But for us to spend, you know, hundreds of billions

01:28of dollars to, this is just, I don't know, either,

01:32again, they either hated the country.

01:34Who would do this?

01:35Who would want millions of people to pour through an

01:38open border?

01:39We have no idea who the hell they are.

01:41And just walk right through.

01:43And half of them, whether you like it or not, you

01:46could look at them and you could say, they are not

01:48going to help us.

01:49These are some rough people.

01:51But they'd empty out their jails.

01:54And they'd empty out their mental institutions,

01:56insane asylums.

01:58And they let them into the United States of America.

02:01And inflation we can fix.

02:04And all of the other things we can fix.

02:07We'll get it going.

02:09But this is something, it's such a horrible thing.

02:13And it's really hard.

02:16You know, we have to do deportations.

02:18Now we're doing self-deportation.

02:20We're coming up with all sorts of ideas.

02:22And they must have known it's not going to work out well.

02:27And, you know, we want people to come into our country,

02:30by the way.

02:31We need them badly for the jobs.

02:33But we want them to come in legally.

02:35They have to come in legally.

02:36They have to show that they can love our country.

02:38Thank you very much, everybody.

02:39Thank you very much, everybody.
