"In pursuit of that wish, which till now, I let your mind already succumb to me. Dropped all defenses, completely succumbed to me, now you are here with me, no second thoughts, you've decided. Stand, disappear, you can meet, and so ever since I was little, ever since I was little, I look like, as..."
[0:03] In pursuit of that wish, which till now, I let your mind already succumb to me.
[8:41] Dropped all defenses, completely succumbed to me, now you are here with me, no second thoughts, you've decided.
[9:23] Stand, disappear, you can meet, and so ever since I was little, ever since I was little, I look like, as long as there are to love you, I never need to doubt it, make you so sure about it.
[15:26] God only knows what I'd be without you, surely knows what I'd be without you.
[15:54] Twilight time, out of the mist your voice is calling, tis twilight time.
[18:03] I'll mark the end of day, I'll hear you, my dear, at twilight time.
[18:15] Rather splendor as day is done, fingers of night will soon surrender the setting sun.
[18:28] I'm starling till you're here with me.
[18:34] Together, at last, at twilight time.
[18:39] The glow of day, keep our rendezvous in the sweet and same old way.
[18:59] I fall in love again, as I did then.
[19:05] Kiss will thrill me like days of old, lighting the spark of love that fills me with dreams untold.
[19:18] Just to be with you together.
[19:26] At last, at twilight time.
[19:30] The glow of day, keep our rendezvous in the sweet and same old way.
[19:49] I fall in love again.
[19:50] I fall in love again.
[19:52] This will thrill me like days of old, lighting the spark of love that fills me with dreams untold.
[20:08] Just to be with you.
[20:13] Together, at last, at twilight time.
[20:19] Together, at last, at twilight time.
[20:27] Forgot all of February like she told her old man now.
[21:15] He'll blast and go cruisin' just as fast as she can now.
[21:18] It'll happen if I should.
[22:15] I swear to this alone.
[23:34] Cause it's never been beat.
[24:06] And yet, with the girls we meet.
[24:09] Be right to live your best day night again.
[24:20] To fight the unbeatable foe.
[33:37] Unbearable sorrow.
[33:43] The brave dare not go.
[33:48] The unrightable wrong.
[33:53] To be better far than you are.
[33:58] You try.
[34:02] When your arms are too weary.
[34:05] You will slow.
[34:09] Without question a pause.
[34:25] To be willing to march into hell.
[34:39] And my heart.
[34:42] I'm peaceful and calm.
[34:44] When I'm laid to my rest.
[34:47] That one man.
[34:58] Covered with scars.
[35:02] Still strove.
[35:05] With his last ounce of courage.
[35:08] Thank you very much.
[43:38] I'm working all day.
[43:39] Bullshit play.
[43:42] So I can sit out here.
[43:44] And waste my life.
[43:45] Hey.
[43:47] It's a damn shame.
[43:51] The world do.
[43:55] Wish I could just wake up.
[44:00] Ain't it not be true.
[44:02] But it is.
[44:03] Oh it is.
[44:05] So.
[44:12] It's men.
[44:17] Lord knows it all.
[44:18] Just wanna have trouble.
[44:21] Wanna know what you think.
[44:23] Wanna know.
[44:24] And they don't.
[44:27] But I know that your dog ain't shit.
[44:31] And it's time to go in.
[44:32] Cause the rich politicians.
[44:46] Look out for miners.
[44:48] And not just miners.
[44:50] On an island somewhere.
[44:52] Lord.
[44:53] We got folks in the street.
[44:55] Ain't got nothing to eat.
[44:57] And the obese.
[44:58] Milking welfare.
[45:00] Well God.
[45:02] You're five.
[45:04] And you're three.
[45:06] Axes all.
[45:11] For you by himself.
[45:13] Six feet.
[45:15] Cause all this does.
[45:16] Is keep on kicking them.
[45:18] Lord.
[45:19] Damn shame.
[45:20] What do you do?
[45:22] Wish I could just wake up.
[45:28] And it not be true.
[45:30] But it is.
[45:31] Just wanna control.
[45:48] Wanna know what you think.
[45:51] And they don't.
[45:54] But I know.
[45:57] Cause you're dog shit.
[45:59] And it's taxed to no end.
[46:01] Cause the rich man.
[46:03] Know the rich man.
[46:05] Been selling my soul.
[46:26] Working all day.
[46:27] Overtime high.
[46:28] For bullshit pain.
[46:31] It's very important.
[53:22] That the Pope understands.
[53:23] Very, very important.
[53:24] It'd be nice not to say it.
[53:26] Iran killed 42,000 people that were totally unarmed.
[53:28] There were protesters.
[53:29] Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon.
[53:31] It's very, very important.
[53:32] It'd be nice not to say it.
[53:33] Iran killed 42,000 people that were totally unarmed.
[53:35] There were protesters.
[53:36] Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon.
[53:38] If they did every country.
[53:39] Including Italy.
[53:40] Where he stationed every single country.
[53:41] And.
[53:42] In the world would be in trouble.
[53:44] So.
[53:45] We're doing very well.
[53:46] With respect to that.
[53:47] Having to do with the whole situation on Iran.
[53:48] The.
[53:49] The.
[53:50] The.
[53:51] The.
[53:52] The.
[53:53] The.
[53:54] The.
[53:55] The.
[53:56] The.
[53:57] The.
[53:58] The.
[53:59] The.
[54:00] The.
[54:01] The.
[54:02] The.
[54:03] The.
[54:04] The.
[54:05] The.
[54:06] The.
[54:07] The blockade is amazing.
[54:09] It's holding up.
[54:10] Very strong.
[54:11] Very powerfully.
[54:12] And I think we're making a lot of progress in that.
[54:15] But the pope has to understand a rare very simple.
[54:18] And cannot have a nuclear weapon.
[54:20] The world would be a great danger.
[54:26] To even out your differences justH erstmal.
[54:29] I don't.
[54:30] I don't think it's necessary.
[54:34] Mr. President, you spoke with Prime Minister Modi just a couple of days ago.
[54:38] What was the conversation like?
[54:40] What is it that is on the table now?
[54:42] I had a very good talk with him, and he's a friend of mine from India,
[54:46] and he's doing great.
[54:48] We had a very good conversation.
[54:51] Are you considering extending the ceasefire with Iran?
[54:55] With who?
[54:55] With Iran.
[54:57] We're doing very well, I can tell you.
[55:00] Maybe it'll happen before that.
[55:01] I'm not sure it needs to be extended.
[55:04] Just so you know, Iran wants to make a deal,
[55:07] and we're dealing very nicely with them.
[55:10] We've got to have no nuclear weapons.
[55:12] If we do, that's a big factor,
[55:15] and they're willing to do things today that they weren't willing to do two months ago.
[55:19] Do you have a news regarding the peace in Ukraine?
[55:24] Does Hezbollah stick to the ceasefire?
[55:26] Are you confident about that?
[55:27] I think they will.
[55:28] I think it's going to be...
[55:29] Actually, it's very exciting, because it's 48 years.
[55:33] We're going to be meeting with Bibi Netanyahu, as you know,
[55:36] and the president of Lebanon.
[55:40] And I had a great talk with both of them today.
[55:42] They're going to be having a ceasefire,
[55:45] and that'll include Hezbollah.
[55:47] And I think it could be number 10 for me.
[55:51] Mr. President, do you have any news regarding peace in Ukraine?
[55:59] Ukraine is moving along.
[56:00] I wish they could get along, frankly.
[56:02] A lot of people are dying in Ukraine.
[56:04] We'll see what happens.
[56:05] There are things happening there.
[56:06] We're focused so much right now on Iran,
[56:09] seeing if we can get that completed.
[56:11] And I think if you look, the stock market is good.
[56:17] The oil prices are coming down.
[56:20] And it's looking very good that we're going to make a deal with Iran.
[56:23] And it's going to be a good deal.
[56:24] It's going to be a deal with no nuclear weapons.
[56:26] Mr. President, do you have a question of a round of negotiations on the war in Iran?
[56:35] They're all important.
[56:36] I mean, it's not a question of a round.
[56:38] All of them are important.
[56:38] What will the next in-person...
[56:40] Probably, maybe, over the weekend.
[56:41] Just so you understand, the blockade has been incredible.
[56:47] It's been...
[56:48] It's held.
[56:49] They're not doing any business.
[56:51] They're unable to do any business because of the blockade.
[56:54] And so the combination of having no Navy, having no Air Force,
[56:58] having no anti-aircraft equipment, they have nothing.
[57:01] Everything is gone, including their leaders.
[57:04] Now they have a new set of leaders, and we find them very reasonable.
[57:07] Mr. President, any year minimum stock enriching uranium?
[57:12] Well, we haven't agreed to any.
[57:14] We haven't agreed to any.
[57:16] What we have is we have a statement, very powerful statement,
[57:23] that they will not have beyond 20 years,
[57:26] that they will not have nuclear weapons.
[57:28] That's beyond.
[57:28] There's no 20-year limit.
[57:31] Any updates on Greenland, Mr. President?
[57:32] I think that Todd Blanche is doing a very good job, from what I'm saying.
[57:42] I mean, all I can say thus far, I think Todd Blanche is doing a very good job.
[57:46] Mr. President, if there's no deal, would you be willing to extend the ceasefire,
[57:52] or will the fighting resume, Mr. President?
[57:54] I would say the fighting...
[57:55] If there's no deal, fighting resume.
[57:56] Okay.
[57:57] And then on gas prices, how much longer will Americans continue to see these high gas prices?
[58:01] Well, they're not very high, if you look at what they were supposed to be,
[58:04] in order to get rid of a nuclear weapon, with the danger that entails.
[58:08] So the gas prices have come down very much over the last three, four days.
[58:12] We're out of the gas still.
[58:13] I know, you know, and that's what ABC says.
[58:15] But the fact is that if you look at the stock markets up, everything is doing really well.
[58:21] And the big thing we have to do is we have to make sure that Iran does not have a nuclear weapon,
[58:26] because if they do, you want to talk about problems, you'd have problems.
[58:30] So very important is that Iran does not have a nuclear weapon, and they've agreed to that.
[58:36] Iran's agreed to that, and they've agreed to it very powerfully.
[58:40] They've agreed to give us back the nuclear dust.
[58:43] It's way underground because of the attack we made with the B-2 bombers.
[58:47] So we have a lot of agreement with Iran, and I think something's going to happen very positively.
[58:52] It is a very complicated subject.
[58:58] It's, I don't think we're waiting.
[59:00] I think we're moving very fast.
[59:02] It could happen pretty quickly.
[59:03] It could happen pretty quickly.
[59:03] We're doing very well with the blockade.
[59:19] It's very routine for us.
[59:20] The Navy is incredible.
[59:22] And I think the blockade is doing very well.
[59:24] But no ship is even thinking about anything.
[59:27] No ship is going past our native.
[59:29] Are you fighting with the Pope?
[59:32] And are you worried it's upsetting your evangelical supporters?
[59:34] No, no.
[59:34] I have to do what's right.
[59:37] The Pope has to understand that.
[59:38] Very simple.
[59:39] I have nothing against the Pope.
[59:41] His brother is MAGA all the way.
[59:43] I like his brother, Louis.
[59:44] So why are you fighting with him?
[59:44] I'm not fighting with him.
[59:46] The Pope made a statement.
[59:47] He says Iran can have a nuclear weapon.
[59:50] I say Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon.
[59:52] And if the Pope looked at the 42,000 people that were killed over the last two or three months
[59:58] as a protester with no weapons, no nothing.
[1:00:01] I mean, you take a look at that.
[1:00:03] So I could disagree with the Pope.
[1:00:05] I have a right to disagree with the Pope.
[1:00:08] What do you say to people who see that?
[1:00:12] You can't have, look, nothing.
[1:00:15] I have no disagreement with the fact the Pope can say what he wants.
[1:00:20] And I want him to say what he wants.
[1:00:22] But I can disagree.
[1:00:24] I think that Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon.
[1:00:27] If they do, the whole world would be at jeopardy.
[1:00:29] The Middle East will be blown up and the whole world will be at jeopardy.
[1:00:33] We're very close to making a deal.
[1:00:34] That would be a great thing.
[1:00:36] The Pope has to understand Iran has killed more than 42,000 people over the last few months.
[1:00:42] Think of it.
[1:00:43] Protesters without guns, without anything.
[1:00:46] They were totally unarmed protesters.
[1:00:48] The Pope has to understand that.
[1:00:50] This is the real world.
[1:00:51] It's a nasty world.
[1:00:53] But as far as the Pope and saying what he wants, he can do that.
[1:00:56] Now, I know the Pope's brother.
[1:00:58] He is a big MAGA person.
[1:01:00] He's got MAGA all over his house.
[1:01:01] His name is Louis.
[1:01:03] He's actually a great guy.
[1:01:04] And I'm sure the Pope is a great guy.
[1:01:06] I haven't met him.
[1:01:07] But I disagree with the Pope.
[1:01:09] If the Pope would allow Iran to have a nuclear weapon, you can't do that.
[1:01:14] I would like to ask you regarding congratulations for the 10th floor.
[1:01:26] Yeah, it's very exciting.
[1:01:27] With Lebanon, it's very exciting.
[1:01:29] I think we're going to have a deal.
[1:01:30] We're going to have a meeting.
[1:01:32] First time in 44 years.
[1:01:33] And Lebanon will be meeting with Israel.
[1:01:36] And they're probably going to do it at the White House.
[1:01:38] When do you think, President, when do you think they will?
[1:01:41] Over the next week or two.
[1:01:43] Over the next week.
[1:01:43] And do you think this agreement can reach without Hezbollah?
[1:01:47] I think we will have an agreement between Lebanon and they're going to take care of Hezbollah.
[1:01:53] But they're going to be working on Hezbollah right now.
[1:01:56] But we'll have an agreement between Israel, very importantly, and Lebanon.
[1:01:59] Would you support our Lebanese army as well?
[1:02:02] I would.
[1:02:02] I would.
[1:02:03] Iran is going to...
[1:02:04] Iran is going to...
[1:02:06] Iran is going to...
[1:02:07] Iran is going to...
[1:02:08] Iran is going to...
[1:02:09] They're all agreeing.
[1:02:10] It's a very nice little package for about a week.
[1:02:15] And we're not going to have lots of bombs dropping.
[1:02:17] And we're going to see if we can make peace between Lebanon and Israel.
[1:02:21] And I'm wondering about the Pope, President, because there was a group of bishops that did
[1:02:24] put out a statement saying the Pope isn't merely exercising his opinion.
[1:02:27] He's preaching the gospel.
[1:02:29] I mean, what do you say to people that view this as an attack on the Catholic Church?
[1:02:30] Well, I want them to preach the gospel.
[1:02:31] I'm all about the gospel.
[1:02:33] But I also know that you cannot let a certain country, which is a very mean-spirited country,
[1:02:39] have a nuclear weapon.
[1:02:40] If they did, they would use it.
[1:02:42] And I think they'd use it quickly.
[1:02:43] And they would kill many millions of people.
[1:02:45] So, you know, the Pope could disagree with me on that.
[1:02:48] But certainly, we're allowed to have that.
[1:02:50] I'm all about the gospel.
[1:02:52] I'm about it as much as anybody can be.
[1:02:54] But I can't allow, as President of the United States of America, I can't allow Iran to have
[1:03:00] a nuclear weapon.
[1:03:01] And here's the story.
[1:03:02] They won't have.
[1:03:04] They've already agreed not to have.
[1:03:06] That's good news.
[1:03:07] And I think the Pope will be very happy.
[1:03:08] The President of the United States of America said yesterday that the Federal Reserve should
[1:03:13] wait and see about this Iran war before lowering interest rates.
[1:03:16] Do you agree with that?
[1:03:17] No, I don't agree.
[1:03:18] I think we should have lower interest rates.
[1:03:19] The President of the United States of America is going to execute four more protesters,
[1:03:22] accordingly, including the first woman protester.
[1:03:25] What do you tell Iran, sir?
[1:03:26] Well, tell that to the Pope.
[1:03:27] What do you say?
[1:03:29] Tell that to the Pope.
[1:03:30] Do you want to patch things up with the Pope?
[1:03:32] That Iran is going to win?
[1:03:33] The Lebanese people love you so much.
[1:03:34] Is that—did you just hear that?
[1:03:35] Iran is going to execute four people, including the Trump?
[1:03:38] The Lebanese love you so much.
[1:03:40] What do you say to Lebanon?
[1:03:42] Do you extend a ceasefire?
[1:03:43] What makes you to extend that?
[1:03:44] I don't know if we're going to have to, but if we need to, I would do that.
[1:03:48] Wait, that's important.
[1:03:49] Sorry.
[1:03:49] The airlines—what are you telling the airlines and the oil companies about the way you're
[1:03:53] going to open up the straight-up remove?
[1:03:55] So, if you look at the oil, and if you look at the price we're paying, it's about half
[1:03:59] what people thought it would be if you did what I had to do.
[1:04:02] We had to take this journey to the Middle East in order to get rid of a nuclear weapon.
[1:04:06] There would have been—if we didn't hit it with the B-2 bombers, or if I didn't kill
[1:04:10] the Barack Hussein-Obama deal, the nuclear deal, which was a disaster, we would have had
[1:04:15] nuclear weapons exploding in the Middle East and beyond.
[1:04:19] I believe I've been able to stop that.
[1:04:22] I think we have a very successful negotiation going on right now, and I think it'll be—if
[1:04:27] it happens, it'll be announced fairly soon, and that'll give us free oil, free Hormuz
[1:04:34] straight—everything will be nice, and I think your oil price will go down to lower than what
[1:04:39] it was before, and I think a lot of good things will happen.
[1:04:42] Just for clarity, you're willing to extend the ceasefire if there is no deal?
[1:04:47] Well, we'll see. I don't know that we'll have to.
[1:04:49] Ideally, we'll have to. But if I needed to, I would.
[1:04:51] The Lebanese people love you so much.
[1:04:53] What do you—the Lebanese people love you so much.
[1:04:55] What's your message for them? And do you—you will visit Lebanon after that?
[1:04:58] Yeah, I will do that.
[1:05:00] At the right time, I would certainly go there.
[1:05:02] Do you think this war in Ukraine? You know, Putin doesn't want to stop it, apparently.
[1:05:06] He keeps bombing Ukraine. Do you think this war has a potential to go on for years more?
[1:05:11] Well, it should have been—it should have never started.
[1:05:14] If I were president, the war in Ukraine never would have started with Russia.
[1:05:18] But it's going on. Hopefully, it'll get over soon.
[1:05:21] You said she had no link to Jeffrey Epstein.
[1:05:24] Who did?
[1:05:25] The First Lady, Melania—
[1:05:26] She had none.
[1:05:27] Why did she come out and say that last week?
[1:05:28] Because the fake news was saying she did, and she had none, and I think that's been proven.
[1:05:34] It bothered her that the fake news was being fake news.
[1:05:37] That's all. She just wanted to clarify.
[1:05:39] Are you surprised?
[1:05:40] Who's taking care of Hezbollah?
[1:05:41] Do you think that they are destroying the deal that you are trying to make—
[1:05:44] We're going to see how it all works out.
[1:05:45] But they'll be working and coordinating—you know Lebanon, right?
[1:05:50] So they'll be working with Hezbollah.
[1:05:53] If you fired Jay Powell—
[1:05:54] Are you still interested in acquiring Iranian oil?
[1:05:57] What?
[1:05:57] Are you still interested in acquiring Iranian oil after—
[1:06:01] Well, we'll see.
[1:06:01] I mean, we have a very good relationship with Iran right now, as hard as it is to believe.
[1:06:06] And I think it's a combination of about four weeks of bombing and a very powerful blockade.
[1:06:13] The blockade is maybe more powerful than the bombing, if you want to know the truth.
[1:06:17] Are you going to make the Arab countries pay a portion of all of the contributions—
[1:06:23] I think they'll make that.
[1:06:24] I think they're going to make that contribution.
[1:06:25] I think—I think the Arab countries, because we've done a lot, I think they'd make a contribution toward the caution.
[1:06:32] Mr. President Trump has not been involved.
[1:06:42] Mr. President, do you have any Iranian assets without any conditions if you make a deal?
[1:06:47] We're going to see what happens.
[1:06:49] But I think we're very close to making a deal with Iran.
[1:06:51] You'll be the first to know, but I think we have a chance.
[1:06:54] And if that happens, oil goes way down, prices go way down, inflation goes way down, and you're going to have, much more importantly than even that, you won't have nuclear holocaust.
[1:07:07] Thank you, Mr. President, thank you, Mr. President.
[1:07:17] Well, possibly.
[1:07:18] But I think a deal could be reached, possibly.
[1:07:20] I would be foolish not to.
[1:07:22] I mean, if we're close to a deal, what extent?
[1:07:24] Yeah, I would do that.
[1:07:25] But we're close to a deal.
[1:07:26] We're getting along very well with the new Iranian leaders.
[1:07:30] It really is a regime chain.
[1:07:31] These are people that are a lot different than we were dealing with at the beginning.
[1:07:36] As you know, they're no longer around.
[1:07:38] They're no longer with us.
[1:07:39] But we have a very good relationship, and I think there's a very good chance we're going to make a deal.
[1:07:46] Also, Israel and Lebanon, I think there's a good chance that they'll make a good deal.
[1:07:50] So...
[1:07:51] What's your reaction to Russia's overnight attack on Kyiv?
[1:07:55] They killed 20 more Ukrainians.
[1:07:56] I think it's terrible.
[1:07:57] Are you going to send any cabinet members to China before your visit?
[1:08:02] Well, I have a great relationship, as you know, with President Xi, and I look forward to being there.
[1:08:07] We have a very special relationship, so I look forward to being in China.
[1:08:11] How's the preparation going?
[1:08:14] Mr. President, you imposed sanctions on Rwanda because they keep violating the Washington Accord.
[1:08:19] Yeah, I do.
[1:08:19] But President Saddam just said he don't care about sanctions, and he said he will not withdraw from Congo.
[1:08:25] His troops will continue in Congo.
[1:08:27] What is your reaction to that?
[1:08:28] We're going to look into it very strongly, but they do have very big sanctions.
[1:08:31] Mr. President, there was a G20 meeting in Washington today.
[1:08:36] Why did you invite Poland instead of South Africa?
[1:08:39] Well, Poland's a great country.
[1:08:41] We like it a lot.
[1:08:42] We're friends with Poland.
[1:08:44] The president is doing a great job, so we invited him.
[1:08:47] Mr. President, what are you doing?
[1:08:52] He did social posts about Bruce Blakeman in New York.
[1:08:55] He's being denied up to $7 million of public campaign funds in New York by partisan Democrats.
[1:09:01] Have you seen that, and what's your reaction to it?
[1:09:04] I can just tell you this.
[1:09:05] Bruce Blakeman is running for governor.
[1:09:07] He will be a great governor.
[1:09:09] If he wins, I don't know that he wins or not, because it's New York, and, you know, people cheat on elections and a lot of other things.
[1:09:15] But Bruce Blakeman is a great, great gentleman.
[1:09:19] As you know, he comes from Nassau County, which is a Democrat area, and he wins by a landslide all the time.
[1:09:25] And if Bruce Blakeman gets in, your taxes are going to go way down, and a lot of good things are going to happen, including cleanliness and all of the things that you want to see.
[1:09:36] I know him very well.
[1:09:37] He's been a great leader, a great executive in Nassau County.
[1:09:41] Even though it's largely Democrat, he wins in a landslide.
[1:09:45] Everybody loves him.
[1:09:46] He's a very talented guy, very great politician, and I think he probably has a chance.
[1:09:52] If Bruce Blakeman gets in, your taxes are going way down, and you know what else is going down?
[1:09:57] Crime.
[1:09:58] There are these 10 missing scientists with access to classified stuff, nuclear material, aerospace.
[1:10:06] They've all gone missing or turned up dead in the last couple months.
[1:10:09] Based on what you've been briefed, what do you think is happening here, and do you think that this is connected or totally random?
[1:10:16] Well, I hope it's random, but we're going to know in the next week and a half.
[1:10:20] I just left a meeting on that subject.
[1:10:21] So pretty serious stuff, but we're going to be not.
[1:10:25] Hopefully, I don't know, coincidence, whatever you want to call it, but some of them were very important people, and we're going to look at it over the next short time.
[1:10:35] It's impossible that some foreign adversary is in the United States to open these people up.
[1:10:41] Well, you know, by dead open borders, it wasn't very hard to get here, but we've gotten many of them out.
[1:10:46] You know, we've caught many, many people, many, many very bad people, including thousands of murderers that we've taken out of our country, thousands of drug lords that we've taken out of our country, hundreds of thousands of prisoners that were let into the U.S. that we've taken out of our country.
[1:11:03] As far as the scientists are concerned, we'll probably have a pretty good answer over the next week.
[1:11:08] And with the peace talks in Iran, does it have to be a big deal all at once, or would you accept a little deal to start?
[1:11:16] Well, I have a little deal.
[1:11:17] I can make a little deal.
[1:11:18] I want to get it done and get back to keep going with low.
[1:11:23] You know, our pricing is doing great.
[1:11:25] As soon as the war is over, we're going to be lower than we were two or three years ago.
[1:11:29] So I want to get back to that.
[1:11:31] I want we had to do something.
[1:11:33] We had to make sure that Iran never gets a nuclear weapon.
[1:11:36] And we're at that.
[1:11:37] They've agreed to that.
[1:11:39] They've totally agreed to that.
[1:11:40] They've agreed to almost everything.
[1:11:42] So maybe if they can get to the table, there's a difference.
[1:11:46] They've agreed they've got to get to the table with a pen.
[1:11:49] We'll have that over with.
[1:11:51] And then we can focus on our great economy.
[1:11:53] And also, you know, I inherited the highest prices in the history of our country, the worst inflation in the history of our country.
[1:12:01] I'll get it down to a very low number.
[1:12:03] We had it to a very low number, and it's still low.
[1:12:06] But the most important thing right now is to make sure Iran can never have a nuclear weapon.
[1:12:11] Mr. President, would you ever go to Pakistan to seal the deal yourself?
[1:12:15] I would.
[1:12:16] I would go to Pakistan.
[1:12:17] Yeah.
[1:12:17] Pakistan has been great.
[1:12:19] They've been so good.
[1:12:20] Islamabad, I'll be.
[1:12:21] I might go.
[1:12:22] Yeah.
[1:12:23] If the deal is signed in Islamabad, I might go.
[1:12:26] The field marshal has been great.
[1:12:29] The prime minister has been really great in Pakistan.
[1:12:32] So I might go.
[1:12:33] They want me to go.
[1:12:33] The First Lady last week called on Congress to further look into and uncover the truth on the Epstein files, the Epstein saga.
[1:12:42] Do you believe that there should be a public hearing for more of these Epstein survivors?
[1:12:46] Well, I'm okay with it.
[1:12:47] I think we've had a lot of public hearings.
[1:12:49] I'm okay with it.
[1:12:49] But I understand that the women didn't want to go under oath.
[1:12:53] That's what I heard.
[1:12:54] That the women, the victims or whatever, they refused to go under oath, which was a little surprising.
[1:13:01] Now, Melania felt strongly about it because she was accused of that I met her through Epstein, but it turned out to be totally false.
[1:13:09] It was a false error.
[1:13:12] Don't ceasefire also include Iraq and region?
[1:13:19] Are we talking about the one with Lebanon?
[1:13:21] Lebanon, Iraq.
[1:13:22] So we just made a deal with Lebanon.
[1:13:26] As of two hours from now, we have a ceasefire with Israel and Lebanon, and that'll be great.
[1:13:32] And they'll be meeting, probably coming to the White House over the next four or five days.
[1:13:37] That'll be the first time they've met in 44 years, which is pretty un-neighborly when considering their neighbors.
[1:13:44] But there's a really good chance that that'll work out with Lebanon and Israel.
[1:13:49] I met through the telephone with the president of Lebanon, who's a really good guy, highly respected, and with Bibi.
[1:13:58] And I think there's a chance we'll be meeting right here in the not-do-do-do.
[1:14:02] Have the Epstein survivors received justice?
[1:14:04] Do you think the Epstein survivors received justice?
[1:14:08] Israel and Lebanon have tried to make peace before.
[1:14:11] What's going to be the difference this time?
[1:14:12] Me.
[1:14:13] I'm the big difference.
[1:14:15] Me.
[1:14:15] Mr. President, about taxes.
[1:14:19] States like Virginia, North Carolina, and New York, Democratic states, are looking at raising taxes.
[1:14:25] Is that going to take away from the tax cuts?
[1:14:27] What's happened?
[1:14:28] No, because, you know, no tax on tips.
[1:14:30] I'm going over no tax on tips today.
[1:14:32] That's why I'm going to Nevada.
[1:14:34] I'm going to Arizona.
[1:14:35] But this is sort of a no tax on tips.
[1:14:37] What's happening is people are finding out that in their tax returns, they're getting a big refund, much bigger than they thought.
[1:14:44] So it's no tax on tips, no tax on Social Security, no tax on overtime.
[1:14:49] Wait, wait, wait, wait.
[1:14:51] I think it's going to be amazing.
[1:14:52] But if you look at what they're doing in New York, in California, they're raising taxes and they're driving people out.
[1:15:00] Australia has just announced that it's increasing its defense spending to 3%.
[1:15:05] You've been asking for 3.5%.
[1:15:08] Are you satisfied?
[1:15:09] We're going to see what happens.
[1:15:10] But on defense spending, look, we built the greatest military anywhere in the world.
[1:15:15] There's nobody even close.
[1:15:16] All you have to do is take a look at the blockade.
[1:15:20] Nobody's ever seen anything like it.
[1:15:22] That blockade is the best thing.
[1:15:24] And I'll tell you something.
[1:15:25] I think the blockade has been more powerful than the bombs.
[1:15:29] The bombs were powerful and it weakened them.
[1:15:32] They have no Navy.
[1:15:33] They have no Air Force.
[1:15:34] They have no anything.
[1:15:35] They have no leaders.
[1:15:35] But their new leaders, the ones that have replaced them, it's a regime change.
[1:15:40] They are much more, I think, frankly, more intelligent and more moderate.
[1:15:45] But we have a real chance to make a deal very soon with Iran.
[1:15:49] But it's not Australia.
[1:15:51] On Australia, Mr. President, you asked for 3.5% increase like 5% you did with NATO.
[1:16:00] Australia has only gone to 3%.
[1:16:02] Are you satisfied with that decision?
[1:16:04] Well, I'm not happy with Australia because they were not there when we asked them to be there.
[1:16:10] So Australia was another one.
[1:16:13] They were not there having to do with Hormuz, the Hormuz.
[1:16:15] What do you mean by that vote?
[1:16:18] I'm not happy.
[1:16:19] I'm not happy.
[1:16:19] But why specifically?
[1:16:21] Do you still have a good rule of ceasefire in Lebanon?
[1:16:24] What message do you think the ceasefire in Lebanon sends to the UK and other European allies who chose not to get involved in the war?
[1:16:30] Well, you know, we we spend trillions and trillions of dollars on NATO.
[1:16:35] And when I asked them to get involved in a much smaller situation, which is Hormuz and Iran, they weren't there for us.
[1:16:45] Remember what I said?
[1:16:46] They weren't there.
[1:16:47] None of them.
[1:16:48] They weren't there.
[1:16:49] So we were there in Ukraine.
[1:16:51] I mean, we shouldn't have been.
[1:16:52] It would have never happened if I were president.
[1:16:53] But nevertheless, when they've had problems over the years we were there, when we asked them to get involved on a very minor skirmish by comparison to what it could be, they weren't there.
[1:17:04] So I don't think they'd be there for a large skirmish.
[1:17:07] And therefore, I think they've got themselves a problem.
[1:17:09] Do your policies, like no tax on tips, no tax on overtime, show that the Democrat Party is no longer the party of the working class and the Republican Party under your leadership action?
[1:17:23] I love this question.
[1:17:25] This is the greatest guy.
[1:17:26] Look how handsome he is.
[1:17:27] What a great guy he is.
[1:17:28] Yes.
[1:17:30] The Democrats don't know what they're doing.
[1:17:32] They want to tax everybody out of business.
[1:17:34] They want men playing in women's sports.
[1:17:36] They don't want voter ID.
[1:17:38] They don't know what they're doing.
[1:17:40] We've had an unbelievable run, and the people getting their tax returns, and they're coming back, and they're ending up getting $5,000, $6,000, $7,000 more than they thought possible.
[1:17:51] Mr. President, do you think the Pope was being disrespectful to yourself?
[1:17:58] The who?
[1:17:58] The Pope.
[1:17:59] Do you think he was being disrespectful to you?
[1:18:02] I don't think about it that way.
[1:18:03] The Pope has to understand that Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon.
[1:18:07] And the Pope has to understand that you can't let a country kill 42,000 protesters, totally unarmed protesters.
[1:18:16] You can't do that.
[1:18:17] So the Pope, you know, I know his brother.
[1:18:21] His brother's MAGA all the way.
[1:18:22] You know that.
[1:18:23] Lewis is a great guy.
[1:18:25] But the Pope has to understand you're not allowed to kill 42,000 protesters who are totally unarmed.
[1:18:30] And you cannot let Iran have a nuclear weapon, or the entire world could be gone.
[1:18:38] And, you know, when the Pope realizes that, I think we'll have a different understanding.
[1:18:42] Does energy dominance mean that Europeans should be buying more gas and oil from the United States?
[1:18:49] Well, they should be buying more from us.
[1:18:51] And what they should be doing is using the North Sea.
[1:18:54] I can tell you, UK, I've been telling that to your prime minister, UK should open up the North Sea.
[1:19:00] It's one of the greatest in the world.
[1:19:02] And they should use it instead of buying oil from Norway and other places that use the same source.
[1:19:08] They should use it.
[1:19:09] And they're not doing it.
[1:19:10] They're doing windmills and windmills.
[1:19:12] Windmills do one thing.
[1:19:13] You know what they do?
[1:19:15] Put you out of business.
[1:19:15] Mr. President, did you recently talk to Mr. Ardhan or the regional leaders about the peace deal or the peace talks about what they want?
[1:19:23] We're dealing with everybody.
[1:19:24] We're dealing with all of the leaders on many different subjects.
[1:19:27] We're very close to a deal with Iran.
[1:19:29] Thank you.
[1:19:30] Mr. President.
[1:19:30] We asked him to talk to him about killing it twice.
[1:19:33] We asked him to talk to him about killing it twice.
[1:19:35] We asked him to talk to him about killing it twice.
[1:19:38] Mr. President.
[1:19:38] And when I think that God, his son not sparing, sent him to die, I scarce can take it in.
[1:20:00] On the cross, my burden gladly bearing, he bled and died to take away my sin.
[1:20:15] My soul.
[1:20:20] Secret card that David played and it pleased the Lord.
[1:21:23] But you don't really care for music, do you?
[1:21:29] It goes like this.
[1:21:32] The fourth, the fifth, the minor fall, the major lift, the baffled king composing.
[1:21:39] Faith was strong, but you needed proof.
[1:22:03] You saw her bathing on the roof.
[1:22:07] Her beauty in the moonlight overthrew you.
[1:22:14] Tied you to a kitchen chair.
[1:22:16] She broke your throne, she cut your hair.
[1:22:20] And from your lips, she drew the hallelujah.
[1:22:36] Maybe I have been here before.
[1:22:47] I know this room, I've walked this floor.
[1:22:50] I used to live alone before I knew you.
[1:22:55] In your flag on the marble arch.
[1:23:00] Love is not a victory march.
[1:23:03] It's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah.
[1:23:10] Hallelujah.
[1:23:20] The time you let me know what's real and going on below.
[1:23:33] But now you never show it to me, do you?
[1:23:40] Remember when I moved in you?
[1:23:43] The holy dark was moving too.
[1:23:47] And every breath was hallelujah.
[1:24:04] Maybe there's a God above.
[1:24:13] And all I ever learned from love was how to shoot at someone who outdrew you.
[1:24:23] And it's not a cry you can hear at night.
[1:24:27] It's not somebody who's seen the light.
[1:24:30] And it's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah.
[1:24:35] Hallelujah.
[1:24:50] Hallelujah.
[1:24:56] Hallelujah.
[1:26:44] We'll be better for this.
[1:26:48] That one man, scorned and covered with scars.
[1:26:53] Still strove with his last ounce of courage.
[1:26:58] To reach the unreachable star.
[1:27:03] And the world, we'll be better for this.
[1:27:08] Yes, we'll scorned and strove with his last ounce of courage.
[1:27:19] To die.
[1:27:37] Thank you very much.
[1:28:19] Be nothing, nothing about a woman or a girl.
[1:28:38] Take us over the road.
[1:28:48] Care the heavy load.
[1:28:56] Take us out of the dark.
[1:28:58] And man with the water.
[1:29:03] The Bible said Noah made the art.
[1:29:19] About a woman or a girl.
[1:35:00] Working all day over time hours.
[1:35:04] For bullshit pain.
[1:35:20] Please.
[1:35:23] Oh, you're gone.
[1:35:31] Oh, you're gone.
[1:36:32] I love you so.
[1:48:21] I'm going to promise.
[1:48:26] I will put the down.
[1:48:29] If I can't dream of a woman's son.
[1:48:35] Keep shining.
[1:49:34] Question.
[1:49:34] I'm sure that the answer is going to come.
[1:49:43] So I will die.
[1:49:46] I'm going to sit down.
[1:56:35] I'm going to go.
[1:57:08] I'm going to go.
[1:57:17] Say, say for me.
[2:02:09] I'll be coming home.
[2:02:13] Great for me.
[2:02:15] One hymn especially that we want you to come to know and love.
[2:07:04] A great hymn of adoration.
[2:07:05] It's a Swedish hymn.
[2:07:06] Written in 1886.
[2:07:08] How great thou art.
[2:07:11] Here in Melbourne we have two crusade choirs.
[2:07:14] The ones you see on the platform this afternoon and down here have the red identification badge
[2:07:21] on and we have a green choir which will be here tomorrow.
[2:07:25] We had over 1,400 of them registered.
[2:07:28] And we know that you'll enjoy their ministry and song.
[2:07:31] And just now we're going to ask them to come.
[2:07:34] Mr. Shea to come and the choir to join him in singing.
[2:07:37] How great thou art.
[2:07:38] Because some wonder, consider all the worlds thy hands have made.
[2:08:15] I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder.
[2:08:22] Thy power through a verse.
[2:08:27] This not sparing sent him to die.
[2:09:18] I scarce can take it in.
[2:09:23] On the cross, I burden gladly bearing.
[2:09:31] He fled and I take away.
[2:09:36] I see.
[2:11:49] Ladies and gentlemen, the 45th and 47th president of the United States, Donald J. Trump.
[2:11:55] And I'm bound to be a terrain lowdown.
[2:12:36] Minnesota, to the hills of Tennessee, off the plains of Jesus.
[2:12:44] From sea to shining sea, Detroit down to Houston, and New York to LA, where there's pride in
[2:12:56] every American heart.
[2:12:58] And it's time we stand and say, I want to be an American free.
[2:13:11] And I won't forget and defend her still today.
[2:13:24] Because there ain't no doubt I love this land.
[2:13:30] But there ain't no doubt I love this land.
[2:14:03] Thank you, Lee.
[2:14:21] It's easy.
[2:14:23] Isn't it great?
[2:14:24] That's such a great opening.
[2:14:26] Wow.
[2:14:26] We love you, too.
[2:14:28] We got a lot of people.
[2:14:30] We got a lot of great people here.
[2:14:32] Thank you very much.
[2:14:33] And thank you for allowing me to win this state by so much.
[2:14:37] It was I wouldn't say the competition was the toughest, but it was competition.
[2:14:45] Nevertheless, and we appreciate it very much.
[2:14:48] And we're going to be talking about no tax on tips.
[2:14:51] We're also talking about the fact that everybody is looking at their tax return.
[2:14:55] They're getting tremendous amounts of money back, much more than they thought.
[2:14:59] So but it's great to be back in a place I love, Las Vegas.
[2:15:04] Did a lot of business here.
[2:15:06] We had great success here before politics.
[2:15:08] It was fantastic.
[2:15:10] And this is the birthplace of a little idea known as no tax on tips.
[2:15:15] This is the birthplace.
[2:15:17] A young waitress came up to me during dinner and she said, sir, we should have no tax on tips.
[2:15:27] I said, what?
[2:15:28] Say it again.
[2:15:30] We should have no tax on tips.
[2:15:32] I said, that's the greatest thing I've ever heard.
[2:15:34] I walked outside to the fake news media.
[2:15:37] I say, ladies and gentlemen, there will be no tax on tips.
[2:15:40] That was it.
[2:15:41] It was not an expensive consultant.
[2:15:46] Las Vegas is the home of the largest concentration of tipped workers anywhere in the country, anywhere in the world, actually.
[2:15:54] And thanks to our tax cuts this week.
[2:15:56] Thousands of Nevada waiters, waitresses, casino dealers, bartenders, bellmen, barbers, caddies.
[2:16:03] So I love those caddies.
[2:16:04] They're very good.
[2:16:05] If you have the right cat and valets receive the biggest tax refunds of their entire lives.
[2:16:11] And you see it.
[2:16:12] And I just want to say, you're welcome.
[2:16:14] You're welcome.
[2:16:17] No, it's all over there.
[2:16:19] There's so many, even in the fake news where they have the, you know, he's different.
[2:16:24] You always want to watch the enemy a little bit.
[2:16:25] You don't want to watch too much.
[2:16:26] You want to find out where they're coming from.
[2:16:28] And they come from dark places.
[2:16:30] But even there, people are saying, wow, this is really amazing.
[2:16:34] It's a great, big, beautiful bill that came in.
[2:16:37] And, you know, we should call it the great, big, beautiful tax cut bill, because that's really what it is.
[2:16:41] Other things also, but regulations, but it's really the tax cuts are enormous.
[2:16:47] So it's just such an honor.
[2:16:49] I want to thank Secretary of Treasury Scott Besson for joining us.
[2:16:53] You know, he's become a big star.
[2:16:58] He walks down the street and the people are screaming, Scott, Scott, can we have your autograph?
[2:17:04] I mean, what I did, I created a monster.
[2:17:06] He's a monster now.
[2:17:07] That's terrible, but he's doing a great job.
[2:17:10] Along with Senator, oh, look at Tommy.
[2:17:12] Where's Tommy Tuberville?
[2:17:14] Where's Tommy Tuberville?
[2:17:16] Tommy, the great Tommy Tuberville, Senator from Alabama.
[2:17:19] Thank you, Tommy.
[2:17:21] Nevada Lieutenant Governor Savaros Anthony.
[2:17:24] Thank you, Scott.
[2:17:25] Our County Commissioner April Becker.
[2:17:31] April.
[2:17:31] Thank you, April.
[2:17:33] Thank you very much.
[2:17:35] State Senator Kerry Buck.
[2:17:37] Thank you.
[2:17:38] Thank you, Kerry.
[2:17:44] Assemblywoman Lisa Cole.
[2:17:46] Lisa.
[2:17:47] Thank you.
[2:17:48] We have a lot of power here today.
[2:17:50] This is big stuff.
[2:17:51] And many others.
[2:17:52] We have a lot of people out there.
[2:17:53] I better not name them all because, you know, we're on all these.
[2:17:56] Look at all the television back there.
[2:17:58] Isn't that terrible?
[2:17:59] So much.
[2:18:01] Last summer, thanks to our Republican majorities in the House and Senate, I signed the great,
[2:18:06] big, beautiful bill.
[2:18:07] The largest tax cuts and many other things for working families in the history of our country.
[2:18:13] It was actually, we added about 19 different bills.
[2:18:17] We were going to do one at a time or maybe two or three.
[2:18:20] But I said, let's just do them all at one time.
[2:18:22] And thank goodness we did because the Republicans are out there fighting hard for a lot of good
[2:18:28] things, like no men and women's sports, like like no open borders.
[2:18:35] You know, we have the safest border we've ever had.
[2:18:37] We have the safest communities.
[2:18:39] We have the best records.
[2:18:41] One thing it's always tough to say because it sounds sort of weird.
[2:18:43] But we have the least number of murders that we've had, 125 years, all the way back to 1900.
[2:18:51] Doesn't sound nice.
[2:18:53] There's no nice way of saying that, but it's back to 1900.
[2:18:57] But every single American at every income level is more money in their pockets this week because
[2:19:02] of the Republican tax policies.
[2:19:05] And we've got to win the midterms.
[2:19:07] If we don't, these policies are going to be taken away from you.
[2:19:10] The taxes are going to go through the roof.
[2:19:11] Look at these, look at the states, these blue states, what is going on there with taxes.
[2:19:17] Look at what happened in Virginia.
[2:19:19] A person with a good governor there and somebody got elected that she's gone crazy.
[2:19:24] She's gone totally crazy.
[2:19:26] Look at New York.
[2:19:27] I mean, he's a nice guy.
[2:19:28] Calls me all the time, says hi.
[2:19:30] But his policies are no good.
[2:19:33] He's chasing people out and causing a lot of harm to everybody.
[2:19:37] I mean, everybody's taxes are going through the roof.
[2:19:39] After four long years of brutal inflation under Biden and congressional Democrats, you deserve
[2:19:46] every single penny that you're getting now because you had to suffer.
[2:19:49] You suffered.
[2:19:50] We had the highest inflation in the history of our country under Biden.
[2:19:54] Sleepy Joe.
[2:19:55] He is the worst president we've ever had by far.
[2:19:59] Average refund.
[2:20:00] And the average refunds this season is over $4,000.
[2:20:04] And here in Las Vegas, many workers have reported refunds of five, six, seven, $8,000 or more.
[2:20:12] And they've never had anything.
[2:20:13] It's all from no tax on tips alone.
[2:20:16] So and then don't forget, you have no tax on Social Security for our seniors.
[2:20:25] A lot of seniors out there.
[2:20:29] And you have no tax on overtime.
[2:20:32] You know, this state covers them all.
[2:20:33] You have the seniors, you have the overtime, but you have no tax on overtime.
[2:20:37] You have no tax on tips and you have no tax.
[2:20:40] Think of it, Social Security.
[2:20:42] So those three things.
[2:20:43] And, you know, one other thing that we have that nobody talks about, but we've done a lot
[2:20:47] in the bill.
[2:20:48] If you have a small business or if you have a farm, you have no inheritance tax.
[2:20:53] You have no death tax.
[2:20:54] It's a big thing.
[2:20:55] You know, people go out and they would borrow money, especially the farmers.
[2:21:01] I mean, they go out and they leave their farm and the farmer is valuable, but not a lot
[2:21:05] of cash.
[2:21:06] They live good.
[2:21:07] They wouldn't trade any time.
[2:21:09] And they go out and they they get a bill for taxes for the farm.
[2:21:13] The parents leave the farm to the children.
[2:21:15] The children go to the bank.
[2:21:16] They borrow a lot of money.
[2:21:17] They mortgage up the farm and they end up losing the farm.
[2:21:20] They go bankrupt.
[2:21:21] They commit suicide in many.
[2:21:23] It's a horrible thing that went on.
[2:21:24] You have no death taxes now.
[2:21:27] You have no inheritance taxes.
[2:21:34] And seeing his take home pay skyrocket, a bellman at the nearby Paris hotel reportedly
[2:21:39] said words that no one has ever uttered before.
[2:21:44] God bless the IRS.
[2:21:46] Can you believe it?
[2:21:47] I don't think I've never heard that before.
[2:21:53] It's a we have to patent that.
[2:21:55] We have to do so.
[2:21:56] Earlier this week at the White House, I met a wonderful woman named.
[2:22:00] Sharon Simmons, a grandmother driving door dash to help support her husband's cancer
[2:22:05] treatment.
[2:22:06] She's got serious cancer.
[2:22:07] She's going to be OK, I think.
[2:22:09] Sharon delivered McDonald's to the Oval Office.
[2:22:12] It was a little bit of a, you know, I mean, to be honest, it was a little tacky.
[2:22:15] You know, they come up with these crazy ideas like McDonald's, although that was the biggest
[2:22:21] ever on Google.
[2:22:23] They say number one ever in the garbage truck.
[2:22:26] I mean, we do these things in politics.
[2:22:27] Like they're a little embarrassing.
[2:22:31] They're a little tiny embarrassing.
[2:22:32] But we do them and you win by landslides.
[2:22:35] You know, it's one of them.
[2:22:36] So we got to keep doing.
[2:22:37] No, we got to knock on the Oval Office door.
[2:22:39] This does not happen.
[2:22:41] That's the first maybe in the history of the Oval Office.
[2:22:43] And it was a very beautiful woman standing there with two big bags of McDonald's hamburgers.
[2:22:48] And I say, is this really believable?
[2:22:51] But the point of it was she made eleven thousand dollars that she had no idea was coming.
[2:22:59] And it was really great.
[2:23:00] It turned out to be really great.
[2:23:02] So as part of our tax cuts, we also included no tax on overtime.
[2:23:08] And, you know, one of the things, though, that I think is so great, we have something
[2:23:14] that's never happened before was an idea that I thought of.
[2:23:17] I went to Scott.
[2:23:17] I went to some of our people.
[2:23:19] So when rich people do something, they always look for deductions.
[2:23:23] Right.
[2:23:24] It's always deductions.
[2:23:25] They have deductions and everything.
[2:23:27] And middle class and middle income people, poorer people, they don't get they don't think
[2:23:33] in terms of deductions.
[2:23:34] So I said, you buy a car that's American made.
[2:23:37] Give a deduction on the interest you pay on the loan that you use to buy the car.
[2:23:43] And everyone said, oh, that's good.
[2:23:44] It sounds simple, but it really it's never been done before.
[2:23:47] And you have that, too.
[2:23:48] So when you go out and you take a loan on your car, you deduct the interest.
[2:23:53] It's a big deal for people.
[2:23:54] Never happened before.
[2:23:56] You would think it was sort of basic.
[2:23:58] I thought it was so brilliant when I thought it.
[2:24:00] But the truth is, it never happened before.
[2:24:03] And nobody mentions it.
[2:24:05] But it's a very big factor.
[2:24:06] And it's having a huge impact on our car companies, which are expanding like never before.
[2:24:12] We're selling more cars now.
[2:24:13] A lot of it has to do with tariffs.
[2:24:15] You pay no tariffs if you come here.
[2:24:17] If you don't come here, you pay a lot of tariffs.
[2:24:19] And we're raising those tariffs very soon.
[2:24:21] Not on you.
[2:24:23] It's on people from the outside that don't build their plants here.
[2:24:26] We have now hundreds of billions.
[2:24:28] We have actually 18 trillion dollars being invested in the United States because of a lot of reasons.
[2:24:34] But but because of tariffs, because of tariffs, if they sell their product into our country, they have to pay tariffs.
[2:24:45] If they make that same product here, they don't.
[2:24:47] So they're coming in.
[2:24:48] I'll tell you, pharmaceutical companies are coming in at levels that nobody's ever seen.
[2:24:53] We're having our drugs made here or prescription drugs are being made here, which is something that's very important.
[2:24:59] So our tax cut for overtime workers have already been claimed by more than 26 million Americans.
[2:25:05] And America has finally had the president, the kind of president who believes in them.
[2:25:11] I believe in rewarding you for the great work you've done, the great job you've done and for having to suffer for four years of embarrassment.
[2:25:20] Our country was an embarrassment.
[2:25:23] Our country a year ago, our country was an embarrassment.
[2:25:28] And all over the world, they laughed at us and they don't laugh anymore.
[2:25:32] They're not laughing anymore.
[2:25:34] I don't think I don't think anybody just ask those.
[2:25:38] I don't want to be a wise guy.
[2:25:40] I don't want to speak too soon.
[2:25:42] But we do very well.
[2:25:43] You notice that we're doing very well.
[2:25:45] And I will say the war in Iran is going along swimmingly.
[2:25:50] We can do whatever we want.
[2:25:53] And it should be it should be ending pretty soon.
[2:25:57] It was perfect.
[2:25:59] I mean, it's perfect.
[2:26:00] It was the power we have our military.
[2:26:02] We have the most powerful military anywhere in the world.
[2:26:05] I built it four years, my first four years, and we're still building it.
[2:26:11] We're building it.
[2:26:12] We have the best military.
[2:26:13] We have the best equipment in the world, the best rockets and anti-rockets.
[2:26:18] You know, if you look at the way we shoot, you know, we had 111 rockets shot at one of our ships.
[2:26:26] I won't name the ship, but it was a beauty.
[2:26:28] And out of the 111 rockets shot, all 111 rockets.
[2:26:33] And these things move at about 3,000 miles an hour.
[2:26:36] You know, it's not like, oh, gee, we have plenty of time to think about it.
[2:26:39] Every single one of them, 111, were all shot down.
[2:26:42] Let's think of that.
[2:26:44] Shot down.
[2:26:45] They're laying at the bottom of the sea.
[2:26:48] So needless to say, it was a ship that they were shooting at.
[2:26:52] But we've had it.
[2:26:52] We had 101, we had 101, and then two days later, we had 111.
[2:26:57] Every one of them was hit.
[2:26:59] That's the equipment that we have is incredible.
[2:27:02] There's never been anything like it.
[2:27:04] So in addition to no tax on Social Security, over 51 million seniors now pay.
[2:27:10] Seniors are, seniors are loving me.
[2:27:14] And I love them.
[2:27:15] Of course, of course, I'm not a senior.
[2:27:20] So I, you know, I cater to the seniors, but I don't happen to be a senior myself.
[2:27:24] Thank you very much.
[2:27:26] Over 51 million seniors now pay zero federal tax and Social Security income.
[2:27:31] 51 million.
[2:27:35] And they never saw that happening.
[2:27:37] And when I went to him and I said, how much would it cost for about 50 to 60 million seniors
[2:27:42] not to pay tax?
[2:27:44] He said, sir, are you kidding?
[2:27:46] This was Scott.
[2:27:47] They said, let's do it.
[2:27:48] Go ahead.
[2:27:49] And you know what's happened.
[2:27:50] The economy is doing so well.
[2:27:51] By the way, we had to do a little journey down to Iran.
[2:27:55] And I didn't want to do that.
[2:27:57] But we had to because we can't let them have a nuclear weapon.
[2:28:00] Can't let them have a nuclear weapon.
[2:28:04] And, you know, we just hit 50,000 on the Dow.
[2:28:08] I don't know if you people know what that means.
[2:28:10] 50,000 on the Dow is unthinkable.
[2:28:13] They said at the end of his fourth year, maybe, but more likely fifth or sixth year.
[2:28:18] My fifth or sixth year.
[2:28:19] That sounds good, too.
[2:28:20] But remember, you know, the hat says four more years.
[2:28:25] It drives the Democrats crazy.
[2:28:28] It drives them four more years, four more years.
[2:28:33] I have to laugh at that one.
[2:28:37] They go crazy.
[2:28:39] What a bunch of lunatics they are.
[2:28:42] You know, we want to get along.
[2:28:43] We aren't bipartisan, but some after a while, you say these people, they're just, you know,
[2:28:48] they don't want to pay our ICE agents.
[2:28:50] They don't want to pay our security people.
[2:28:52] They don't want to take care of our border.
[2:28:53] They want to have open borders for everybody.
[2:28:56] They want to have men playing in women's sports.
[2:28:59] Think of it.
[2:29:00] Men playing in women's sports.
[2:29:01] It's got to be a 95 to 5.
[2:29:03] Maybe it's a 99 to 1 issue.
[2:29:05] And they still I saw a guy today on television, a Democrat that I know.
[2:29:09] He's trying to justify men playing in women's sports.
[2:29:11] He's trying to justify open borders.
[2:29:14] Yeah, no, we don't.
[2:29:15] We can't let them back in.
[2:29:16] They'll destroy it.
[2:29:17] They'll destroy the country.
[2:29:19] They'll destroy our country.
[2:29:20] But millions of retirees like those here in Nevada.
[2:29:23] And, you know, it's a very important word.
[2:29:26] Nevada.
[2:29:27] Don't ever say the other way.
[2:29:29] I'm not going to say it because they'll say it.
[2:29:30] I won't say it the other way because they'll put it.
[2:29:33] He said you lose the whole state.
[2:29:36] Yeah, I don't know.
[2:29:37] It sounds pretty good the other way, to be honest with you.
[2:29:39] Some people.
[2:29:41] But Nevada is beautiful.
[2:29:43] And seeing an average deduction over $7,500 this year, which is incredible.
[2:29:49] The great, big, beautiful bill is filled with tax cuts.
[2:29:52] Americans are only just beginning to discover.
[2:29:55] So the tax cuts turned out to be larger than anybody thought.
[2:29:58] Even us.
[2:29:59] I mean, we didn't think it was going to be as much.
[2:30:00] But people are getting much more.
[2:30:02] And it's come from that.
[2:30:04] And the Democrats don't know what to do because they used to ridicule it.
[2:30:07] You know, the great, big, beautiful bill.
[2:30:09] And now they're saying, don't mention the words.
[2:30:12] Just don't mention.
[2:30:13] Don't talk about it because it's been great.
[2:30:15] But we got to keep it.
[2:30:16] We have to win the midterms.
[2:30:18] We virtually eliminated the so-called so many taxes.
[2:30:21] We have like 19 different taxes in all different forms that we eliminated.
[2:30:27] And we dramatically expanded a thing called school choice, which is a big deal, which is a big deal.
[2:30:33] We made homeschool expenditures.
[2:30:38] The homeschoolers.
[2:30:39] Do we have any homeschoolers here?
[2:30:40] Right.
[2:30:41] Very good.
[2:30:41] Congratulations.
[2:30:43] Homeschool expenditures.
[2:30:45] Tax deductible.
[2:30:46] We created the brand new Trump accounts with Michael and Susan Dell.
[2:30:51] The Dell family.
[2:30:54] They're great.
[2:30:55] What a great family.
[2:30:56] But he put up $6,250,000,000, namely.
[2:31:02] He did a good job in life.
[2:31:03] He's and he's putting up more.
[2:31:04] He came to me with the idea with some of his friends.
[2:31:08] His wife is fantastic, by the way.
[2:31:09] And he said, you know, these accounts where children will grow up and by the time they're 18 or 20 or 21, they'll have they could have $100,000.
[2:31:18] I mean, they may be poor.
[2:31:20] They'll have $100,000.
[2:31:21] What a what a big difference.
[2:31:23] And so I just want to thank the Dell family.
[2:31:25] It's great.
[2:31:26] You know, buy their computer.
[2:31:27] I said, how did he get so rich by doing computers?
[2:31:34] He said, well, you know, in college, I was good at computers.
[2:31:37] I just sit in my bed.
[2:31:38] I'd make computers and people would buy him.
[2:31:40] And he never stopped.
[2:31:41] He never stopped.
[2:31:42] Sort of an amazing story, if you want to know the truth.
[2:31:44] But we have automatically we have a $1,000 contribution for every newborn child.
[2:31:50] Think of that.
[2:31:51] Five million have already been opened.
[2:31:53] It's been incredible.
[2:31:55] People are going out there doing it.
[2:31:56] Some are buying it for many other children.
[2:31:58] Some are taking lots of some richer people are taking lots of people under their wing.
[2:32:03] We have one man that took the state of Ohio and he's obviously pretty rich and he's made
[2:32:09] the contribution on behalf of so many children.
[2:32:12] It's really turned out to be amazing, actually.
[2:32:15] And we made interest on new car loans deductible, which I told you it's a big deal.
[2:32:20] I think it's really something, but only if it's made here.
[2:32:23] And that's only if it's made in America.
[2:32:25] And we're proud to see it being made in America.
[2:32:27] You know, we used to have when I was growing up, it would say made in everything made in America.
[2:32:32] It meant it was better.
[2:32:34] And then over the years, it disappeared.
[2:32:36] We brought it back and we make great products now.
[2:32:39] Today, when you see made in America today, when you see made in America, you know, it's
[2:32:45] generally speaking, I think it's a better product.
[2:32:48] This tax season, over one million Americans already deducted their auto loans and their
[2:32:53] auto interest.
[2:32:53] Think of that.
[2:32:54] And they're saving a right of having a write off of over two thousand dollars, sometimes
[2:32:58] much more.
[2:32:59] And you get a full write off.
[2:33:01] It's pretty amazing.
[2:33:02] Together, these brand new cuts and deductions in the Republican bill have been claimed by
[2:33:07] nearly half of all tax filers.
[2:33:10] So in one form or another, more than 50 percent have taken advantage of the things that we
[2:33:15] put into the bill.
[2:33:16] By the way, we have a lot of other things other than that.
[2:33:19] We have incentives.
[2:33:19] We have the expensing for businesses and the expensing is such a big deal.
[2:33:25] You have a business.
[2:33:26] You're allowed to deduct it immediately, as opposed to over 38 years and other things.
[2:33:30] And to me, that's one we had.
[2:33:33] We had the best economy in the history of our country in my first term.
[2:33:36] And we're blowing it out now.
[2:33:38] We're blowing it away now.
[2:33:39] And despite our little diversion, despite our little diversion to the lovely country of
[2:33:47] Iran, lovely place.
[2:33:49] But we had to do that because otherwise bad things could happen.
[2:33:53] The really bad thing.
[2:33:54] So we've sent out and I think you're going to see some incredible results, you know, for
[2:33:58] those people that question that you're going to see some.
[2:34:00] The job we've done has been amazing.
[2:34:04] The the ships are out there today and they're saying, don't come here.
[2:34:10] Don't even think about it.
[2:34:12] And you have these massive tankers saying, let's get the hell out of here.
[2:34:15] It's amazing.
[2:34:17] It's amazing.
[2:34:18] But we've sent out 30 billion dollars more in refunds than at the same time last year.
[2:34:23] And employers who adjusted withholding levels now will see an immediate surge in their take
[2:34:29] home pay for the remainder of 2026.
[2:34:32] You're going to see a big surge.
[2:34:33] The numbers are really tremendous.
[2:34:35] And that's why I'm out here.
[2:34:36] If they were bad, I wouldn't be here today.
[2:34:38] I'd be sitting home watching television.
[2:34:40] I think we can never forget that every single radical left Democrat in Congress voted to deny
[2:34:46] the American people these life saving changes.
[2:34:48] They voted for tax increases.
[2:34:51] They wanted your taxes to go up.
[2:34:53] I've never seen it before.
[2:34:54] You know, all my life, I've been sort of always interested in politics, never did it before.
[2:34:58] I decided to do it a little while ago, not too long, but I've never seen it before.
[2:35:02] It always was.
[2:35:03] I'd watch politicians for 30 years, 40 years.
[2:35:06] We will lower your taxes.
[2:35:08] We will lower your taxes.
[2:35:09] These are the only people, the Democrats now, the modern day Democrats, we will raise your taxes.
[2:35:14] And I just don't think it's winnable.
[2:35:17] I don't know.
[2:35:17] Maybe I'm I'm a little old fashioned, I guess.
[2:35:21] But they voted for the largest tax hike in history.
[2:35:24] The Democrats just voted for the largest tax hike in history.
[2:35:30] Democrats in Congress could cause this, you know, the inflation, the fake news gets on me.
[2:35:36] You don't have to be very accurate when I speak because they'll say he's exaggerated.
[2:35:40] He's so the real number is 48 years that inflation is the highest in 48 years.
[2:35:46] I don't believe that.
[2:35:47] I think it's the highest in history.
[2:35:48] But they say he said history and they say, but I'm OK with 48 years.
[2:35:53] Forty eight years is long enough.
[2:35:54] What do you think?
[2:35:55] But the real number, they say, is 40 years.
[2:35:57] I believe it's the highest inflation and they caused it.
[2:36:00] And they then wanted to raise your tax.
[2:36:03] So their tax raise that they wanted was more than five trillion dollars, which to each
[2:36:11] person is probably about four or five thousand dollars.
[2:36:14] And they wanted to raise your taxes.
[2:36:15] The great big, beautiful bill also slashed taxes on millions of American small businesses,
[2:36:21] including restaurants, strike cleaners, corner stores.
[2:36:25] What is a corner store?
[2:36:26] I've never heard that term.
[2:36:27] I know what a corner store is, but I've never heard it described a corner store.
[2:36:30] Who the hell wrote that, please?
[2:36:32] And more.
[2:36:35] As of today, over 12 million small business flyers have paid nearly seven thousand dollars
[2:36:40] less in taxes.
[2:36:42] So on average, your small businesses are paid about seven thousand dollars less.
[2:36:47] That's a lot for a small business.
[2:36:48] In large part, thanks to our cuts today, the economy is booming.
[2:36:53] Our economy is booming.
[2:36:54] You know, you don't read about it.
[2:36:56] You don't see it so much because of what's going on in Iran, which is really, you know,
[2:37:00] it's been two months.
[2:37:02] I mean, two months.
[2:37:03] You've been in other wars for 18 years, four years with me.
[2:37:09] I'm in there for a month.
[2:37:11] Well, he said he'd get out a month.
[2:37:14] Did you see where I did a list last week?
[2:37:16] I 17 years in Vietnam and five years in Afghanistan and more, much more than that.
[2:37:23] And all these different places.
[2:37:25] And I said, we were in there for two months.
[2:37:29] And you know what?
[2:37:30] We're going to have victory very shortly.
[2:37:33] This is not and against a very tough, smart country.
[2:37:42] These people were fighters.
[2:37:44] And, you know, I don't want to claim it before the fact, but they have no Navy left.
[2:37:50] 158 ships at the bottom of the sea.
[2:37:53] 158.
[2:37:54] Think of it.
[2:37:56] 158.
[2:37:57] I got angry.
[2:37:58] I said, why didn't you save him?
[2:37:59] We could have used him, you know.
[2:38:01] They say we'd rather shoot him than save him.
[2:38:03] I said, what the hell?
[2:38:04] It's only money.
[2:38:05] But they were some of them were good.
[2:38:07] They had one named the Soleimani.
[2:38:08] You know what the Soleimani?
[2:38:09] We took him out.
[2:38:11] He was the worst, one of the worst terrorists in the history of this country, this world.
[2:38:15] They killed many of our people.
[2:38:17] Many of our people have been killed.
[2:38:19] When you see a young soldier mostly going around without legs, without arms, with their faces so badly injured, it was Soleimani that did that.
[2:38:28] The roadside bombs, they were just terrible.
[2:38:30] He was the father of the roadside bomb.
[2:38:33] We killed him.
[2:38:34] And that had a big impact on Iran.
[2:38:36] That had a big impact on Iran.
[2:38:40] Because he was, if I think it maybe would be a different story if he were around.
[2:38:44] I mean, he was a horrible person, a horrible human being.
[2:38:47] He was a mad genius, but it probably would have been more difficult, which still would have won by fast.
[2:38:53] But it would have been not probably as fast as it has gone.
[2:38:58] In the report released last week, core inflation was down to the lowest level in five years.
[2:39:03] And very shortly, we're going to be probably eight or nine years.
[2:39:07] Don't forget, we're having some fake inflation because of the fuel, the energy prices, which everybody said was going to 250.
[2:39:13] We're talking about that, Scott.
[2:39:14] But they said $250, $300.
[2:39:17] I mean, today, what was it?
[2:39:19] It finished at $89 or $90, right?
[2:39:22] And that's in the, you know, we haven't settled yet.
[2:39:24] Maybe we won't.
[2:39:25] But I think you're going to be pleasantly surprised.
[2:39:28] But think of that, how well we're doing.
[2:39:31] And we have this.
[2:39:32] A lot of people thought that inflation would be through the roof.
[2:39:34] And the stock market would crash.
[2:39:36] Well, we just hit an all-time new stock market.
[2:39:39] So it's amazing.
[2:39:42] I had people, we have consultants, great guys that we both know, we see, and they're very talented.
[2:39:50] Sir, if you do this, fuel is going to go to $300 a barrel, right?
[2:39:55] One guy in particular who we like a lot.
[2:39:58] But I said, I don't think so.
[2:40:00] I think we're going to be good.
[2:40:01] We always find a way.
[2:40:02] You know, you got to find a way.
[2:40:03] But sir, don't do it, sir.
[2:40:06] $300 a barrel.
[2:40:07] It's going to be a wild thing.
[2:40:09] It's going to be horrible.
[2:40:10] The depression is going to happen.
[2:40:12] Well, not going to happen because we just hit a brand new all-time high.
[2:40:15] And fuel is at 89.
[2:40:17] It's actually a lot lower than that in a lot of areas.
[2:40:20] But let's not get away from, you know, let's see what happens over the next week or so.
[2:40:24] You know, I think you're going to be very impressed.
[2:40:26] And if you are, vote for the Republicans in the midterms, okay?
[2:40:30] But the king of Saudi Arabia, a very smart guy, invested $2 trillion.
[2:40:51] We have Qatar, we have UAE, Saudi Arabia.
[2:40:54] The king of Saudi Arabia, they invested trillions of dollars in our country.
[2:40:58] And he said to me a year and a half ago, I was with him.
[2:41:03] He said, you know, two years ago, you were a dead country.
[2:41:06] Everyone thought America was finished.
[2:41:08] We were a laughingstock with the president that couldn't walk up a flight of stairs.
[2:41:11] He was not what he was.
[2:41:14] He was so horrible.
[2:41:15] I mean, it's not even funny.
[2:41:17] It's like he was horrible.
[2:41:19] He allowed 25 million people into the country, totally unvetted and unchecked.
[2:41:24] And, you know, that's a tough, we're still getting them out.
[2:41:27] And some were, we had 11,888 murderers, 50% of whom murdered more than one people.
[2:41:36] Let into our country.
[2:41:37] They emptied their jails into America.
[2:41:39] But the king said, you know, two years ago, you were a dead country.
[2:41:45] And now you're the hottest country anywhere in the world.
[2:41:48] Look at us, we're the hottest country in the world.
[2:41:50] So to talk more about these incredible things that are happening, I'm going to ask, really
[2:42:00] a respected guy, a great guy, too.
[2:42:02] He's difficult, this guy.
[2:42:05] He's difficult, but he's great.
[2:42:08] And, you know, when he speaks, the whole market gets soothed.
[2:42:11] When I speak, the market goes a little jittery and they say, Scott, go out there, clean it
[2:42:16] up for me, Scott.
[2:42:18] But now he's a fantastic guy.
[2:42:21] And, Scott, you're going to say a few words.
[2:42:22] And then we're going to hear from a few of the people, the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police
[2:42:26] Officer, Cruz Littlefield, the co-founder and CEO of a local nonprofit called Power to
[2:42:34] Parent, Aaron Phillips, a bartender and makeup artist, Erica Cassell, and a longtime culinary
[2:42:43] worker, Nicole Williams.
[2:42:45] And then we're going to hear from a few others.
[2:42:46] We're going to go pretty quickly.
[2:42:48] But, Scott, do you want to say a few words, please?
[2:42:50] Thank you.
[2:42:52] Yes, sir.
[2:42:52] And thank you.
[2:42:54] And, Mr. President, it's an honor of the lifetime to be part of this administration.
[2:42:58] And I thought that your supporters here would like a little behind the scene of your incredible
[2:43:04] first year.
[2:43:04] This administration has gotten more done in the first year.
[2:43:09] And let me tell you how that happens.
[2:43:11] I remember going to see the president February 2024 at Mar-a-Lago, candidate Trump, and he
[2:43:19] was talking about no tax on tips.
[2:43:21] He said he'd been out here and he had the idea, no tax on tips.
[2:43:25] Service workers should keep their tips.
[2:43:29] Fast forward, July 2025, the working family tax cuts, the one big beautiful bill gets passed
[2:43:36] by Congress, and here we are, April 2026, within 24 months, President Trump's idea became the
[2:43:46] law of the land.
[2:43:47] And we are seeing record tax returns.
[2:43:50] And the people of Nevada, the people of Clark County are way higher than the national average
[2:43:55] because of no tax on tips.
[2:43:58] Thank you.
[2:44:10] President Trump's policies are reviving the American dream.
[2:44:14] Yesterday was tax day, and under President Trump, we are celebrating how much more money
[2:44:19] hardworking Americans will keep, not how much the government will take.
[2:44:24] Thanks to President Trump and congressional Republicans, the working family tax cuts helped
[2:44:32] every American chart their own path.
[2:44:34] Throughout this tax season, I have heard from American workers, families, diner and restaurant
[2:44:39] owners, bartenders, waiters and waitresses, and communities across the country.
[2:44:44] And it is clear that workers and families are feeling the benefits.
[2:44:49] The administration is upholding the foundational principle that hardworking Americans should
[2:44:54] be rewarded with the fruits of their labor, not punished by tax hikes.
[2:44:58] And this tax season proves it.
[2:45:01] In households across America, 53 million filers should take advantage of at least one of the
[2:45:07] President's signature tax cuts.
[2:45:09] No tax on tips, no tax on overtime, enhanced tax relief for our great seniors, and the
[2:45:15] ability to deduct interest on new car loans, if it's an American car.
[2:45:22] And this is the tax, the refunds and the tax cuts have exceeded our expectations.
[2:45:29] Here in Las Vegas, millions of hardworking Americans have benefited.
[2:45:34] And I want you all to remember, every single Democrat voted against this program.
[2:45:46] So more than 6 million filers have taken the advantage of no tax on tips.
[2:45:54] 25 million filers, no tax on overtime.
[2:45:57] And this is what happens when policies are made for workers and not for D.C.
[2:46:03] And also, as the head of the IRS, I want to also tell all of you two things.
[2:46:11] Go to trumpaccounts.gov.
[2:46:14] If you have not registered your children for Trump accounts, it's very easy to remember
[2:46:19] trumpaccounts.gov and fill out form number 4547.
[2:46:25] For those of you who have children born during President Trump's term, Treasury will cede that
[2:46:38] account with $1,000.
[2:46:39] For those of you with children under 18, you can add to those accounts.
[2:46:44] Great philanthropists like Michael, Susan Dell are adding to that.
[2:46:49] And the other thing, too, is I want to remind everyone, change your withholding.
[2:46:53] If you're getting a big tax return, a big tax refund this year, it's because you didn't
[2:46:58] change your withholding last year.
[2:46:59] If you go, you change your withholding now, you'll get an automatic raise in your real
[2:47:04] income.
[2:47:04] Your weekly, monthly income will go up right here, right now.
[2:47:09] And I just want to thank President Trump for championing this program, because I can tell
[2:47:14] you, some of the Republican, some of the more traditional Republicans on economics didn't
[2:47:22] want this to be part of the program.
[2:47:25] President Trump fought for this the whole way.
[2:47:27] And this is why we have a new, bigger Republican Party.
[2:47:31] It's because of policies like this.
[2:47:33] So thank you all.
[2:47:35] Thank you.
[2:47:39] Thank you, Scott.
[2:47:42] Before I enter, I just want to say two things to be very important.
[2:47:46] So right now in this country, we have more people working than at any time in the history
[2:47:51] of our country.
[2:47:52] Think of that.
[2:47:53] And also, it's pretty good.
[2:47:55] And, you know, while in Europe and a lot of other places, they're looking for oil, they're
[2:48:00] looking for gas, they want gasoline, they're having a hard time.
[2:48:02] We have a lot.
[2:48:04] So at this moment right now, we have more oil production than Russia and Saudi Arabia by
[2:48:09] far.
[2:48:10] Russia and Saudi Arabia put together.
[2:48:12] If you add them up together and by next year, it will be double that amount.
[2:48:17] So it's pretty amazing.
[2:48:19] Those two facts.
[2:48:20] More people working than ever before.
[2:48:22] So Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Officer Cruz Littlefield, please.
[2:48:31] Mr. President, thank you so much and welcome to Las Vegas.
[2:48:34] My name is Cruz Littlefield.
[2:48:35] I'm a local police officer and a Las Vegas native.
[2:48:39] I have a deep appreciation for the city and have made it my calling to now protect and
[2:48:43] serve those who also call it home.
[2:48:45] With the passage of the great, big, beautiful bill, my wife and I have benefited from the
[2:48:49] elimination of taxes on overtime, allowing us to stretch every dollar in an increasingly
[2:48:54] expensive world.
[2:48:55] With less financial stress, I'm able to be a better and effective asset to my community
[2:49:00] and more present with my family.
[2:49:04] We also just welcomed our newborn baby girl a week ago and and have already contacted our
[2:49:14] CPA to make sure that the Trump account gets started.
[2:49:17] That's good.
[2:49:18] That's great.
[2:49:20] Thanks to you.
[2:49:21] We're now securing her a better financial future than we were ever given as kids.
[2:49:25] Mr. President, thank you for your time and thank you for your continued efforts to support
[2:49:30] the American people, especially here in Las Vegas.
[2:49:32] I have family and friends.
[2:49:34] This is my brother.
[2:49:35] Oh, good.
[2:49:35] But I have family and friends in Las Vegas who are barbers, small business owners, bartenders
[2:49:39] and first responders.
[2:49:41] And every burden lifted for them is a step towards a stronger and safer community.
[2:49:46] So thank you.
[2:49:47] That's great.
[2:49:47] Thank you, Chris.
[2:49:48] Good job.
[2:49:50] Good job.
[2:49:54] The co-founder and CEO of a local nonprofit doing really well called Power to Parent,
[2:50:01] Erin Phillips.
[2:50:02] I'm right here.
[2:50:05] Actually, hi, I'm Erin Phillips.
[2:50:07] It's an honor to be here as a mom and a founder of this nonprofit organization.
[2:50:12] We believe that empowered parents protect kids.
[2:50:15] And so everything we do flows out of that idea.
[2:50:17] And as a mom of five, this is deeply personal to me.
[2:50:23] It's not just something that I talk about regularly.
[2:50:26] We've seen so many families, especially in our community, that feel outmatched by systems.
[2:50:31] And so what we do is we try to empower them to advocate for themselves through policy and
[2:50:37] really just help with their children's education in general and any issue that is a parental rights
[2:50:42] issue.
[2:50:43] So that's what we do.
[2:50:44] And I just want to thank you for what you've done in regards to protecting women's sports.
[2:50:49] We know that, you know, when we protect women's sports, we're really protecting the opportunities
[2:50:53] that our daughters have.
[2:50:55] And I have daughters myself.
[2:50:57] And so that's really it's so important.
[2:50:59] And so many girls have already been hurt.
[2:51:01] So thank you for what you've done on that level.
[2:51:03] And then, you know, it also helps them know that they're worth protecting and that they
[2:51:07] matter.
[2:51:07] And I think that's something that we haven't shown our girls prior to this.
[2:51:11] Yeah.
[2:51:17] One more thing that I just really want to highlight is the federal tax credit scholarship.
[2:51:22] And I just need you to know that this is a game changer for families and who feel stuck.
[2:51:27] I think oftentimes we have these families that I already mentioned that they feel outmatched
[2:51:32] by systems and they are stuck in a system that is not working for their child.
[2:51:36] And so what this scholarship does is it expands education freedom.
[2:51:40] It gives parents the power to choose the right education for their children and families that
[2:51:46] we serve in our community.
[2:51:47] It means hope.
[2:51:48] It means access.
[2:51:49] It means a future for their children that they otherwise wouldn't be able to afford.
[2:51:53] And we are already planning, preparing to help families access this money here in Nevada.
[2:51:58] So thank you for that.
[2:52:00] And lastly, I just want to say that I'm grateful for your leadership because you recognize the
[2:52:05] critical role that families play.
[2:52:06] So thank you so much.
[2:52:07] Thank you very much.
[2:52:08] Great job.
[2:52:08] Thank you.
[2:52:09] Thank you, Erin.
[2:52:13] Thank you, Jeff.
[2:52:14] Thank you very much.
[2:52:15] It's bartender and makeup artist, Erica Cassell.
[2:52:19] Hi, Trump.
[2:52:24] I'm a makeup artist and a bartender here in Las Vegas.
[2:52:26] I just wanted to say thank you for all you've done for us.
[2:52:29] I know as a bartender, the no tax on tips is amazing, especially, I'm going to start crying.
[2:52:35] He goes, I expect you, Mom.
[2:52:37] It's great for my daughter as well.
[2:52:40] The Trump account's also amazing.
[2:52:42] So thank you so much.
[2:52:44] Thank you very much.
[2:52:45] Good.
[2:52:46] Well, you enjoy it.
[2:52:47] And good luck.
[2:52:49] Good job.
[2:52:49] Thank you, Erin.
[2:52:50] And a longtime culinary worker, a great person, Nicole Williams.
[2:52:57] Thank you.
[2:52:58] Thank you, Nicole.
[2:52:59] Hello, Mr. President.
[2:53:02] I am a longtime bartender on the Las Vegas Strip.
[2:53:05] And I first heard the idea of no tax on tips mentioned to me, my boyfriend Alita, who helped
[2:53:11] manage her campaign in Nevada.
[2:53:13] And she is amazing.
[2:53:16] She mentioned it to me.
[2:53:18] And I started thinking about, like, what an awesome idea it was.
[2:53:22] Because in Nevada, we have what is called a tip compliance.
[2:53:26] Not a lot of people know about that, where the IRS comes in.
[2:53:29] And they say, you're going to make this amount of tips in an hour.
[2:53:31] We're going to tax you on that.
[2:53:32] Even if you don't make that amount of tips, you're going to get taxed on it.
[2:53:35] So I thought that would be an incredible opportunity to keep some more cash in my pocket.
[2:53:42] So then she reached out.
[2:53:44] And I actually spoke at an event for you for no tax on tips.
[2:53:47] I spoke with you the day that Robert Kennedy endorsed you for president, which was an amazing
[2:53:52] experience.
[2:53:52] So thank you for that.
[2:53:53] And so I did campaign for you.
[2:53:58] And I was like, I want to see this policy come to fruition.
[2:54:01] So when I heard about the one big, beautiful bill and that being included in it, it was
[2:54:07] just a reminder that it's promises made, promises kept for you.
[2:54:12] And so to see that come to fruition was amazing.
[2:54:22] And I do have seven children, so the earned income tax credit for them is going to be
[2:54:27] helpful as well.
[2:54:28] Waiting on my husband who's in real estate to get his receipts together, you know, so
[2:54:33] but we will expect to see a greater tax return we can use for a car or, you know, for our
[2:54:41] son going to school, like a trade school.
[2:54:43] It's our oldest child.
[2:54:44] So we're very excited.
[2:54:45] And I just want to thank you so much for getting that done for the people and for my family.
[2:54:50] Thank you.
[2:54:51] And, you know, just in wrapping up, a man who's been with me, I think every event I've
[2:55:01] done out here, he's your lieutenant governor.
[2:55:04] Highly respect.
[2:55:05] He's really a good man.
[2:55:06] He's been to every event.
[2:55:08] Stavros Anthony.
[2:55:10] Stavros.
[2:55:10] Mr. President, Mr. Secretary, first of all, welcome to the greatest city in the world,
[2:55:23] Las Vegas, and to the great state of Nevada.
[2:55:29] So one of my responsibilities as a lieutenant governor is the chairman of the Nevada Tourism
[2:55:34] Commission.
[2:55:34] So I work with a great group of individuals to promote tourism in Las Vegas and in the
[2:55:40] state of Nevada.
[2:55:42] And there's a lot of reasons why people come to Las Vegas and keep coming back to Las Vegas.
[2:55:47] And one of those is because we have the greatest hospitality employees in the world here in Las
[2:55:53] Vegas.
[2:55:53] Absolutely.
[2:55:54] And we all remember two years ago, you had another one of your massive rallies here in
[2:56:03] Nevada.
[2:56:03] It was actually at Sunset Park, just south of here.
[2:56:05] And you made this no-tax-on-tips pledge.
[2:56:10] And everybody heard it for the first time.
[2:56:13] And people were just excited.
[2:56:16] And as Nicole mentioned, it wasn't just a pledge, but you did it.
[2:56:19] So on behalf of all the hospitality workers here in Las Vegas and Nevada, thank you for
[2:56:24] putting more money in the pockets of our families.
[2:56:26] And just one other thing, I'm a former captain with the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department.
[2:56:37] I know how much overtime these police officers work and how much overtime a lot of employees
[2:56:43] work.
[2:56:44] And for you to make that pledge and come through and no taxes on overtime, again, thank you
[2:56:50] very much for putting money in the pockets of our family.
[2:56:53] God bless you all.
[2:56:53] Thank you, Stephanie.
[2:56:54] So I just want to say this is a special state.
[2:57:03] It's a special place.
[2:57:05] We've done so well here.
[2:57:06] I have so many friends here.
[2:57:08] It's been it was great before I ran for politics, ran for office and right up to this moment.
[2:57:13] And even this event, there's a lot of love.
[2:57:15] That's just such love.
[2:57:17] And, you know, those three things, but especially here.
[2:57:20] But really here, it's all three.
[2:57:22] It's overtime.
[2:57:23] Right.
[2:57:24] And it's you take a look at the tips, the tips.
[2:57:27] I don't even know which is the biggest.
[2:57:28] You could probably take a poll and it's Social Security.
[2:57:33] No tax on Social Security.
[2:57:34] Who would think?
[2:57:35] And when I did it, it was a pretty big number.
[2:57:38] Let me could I ask you, which is the best of the three?
[2:57:40] No tax on clap.
[2:57:42] No tax on Social Security.
[2:57:45] It's not bad.
[2:57:51] OK, ready?
[2:57:52] No tax on tips.
[2:57:54] No tax on overtime.
[2:58:02] You know, I think Social Security won.
[2:58:05] Hey, so much, so much for no tax on tips.
[2:58:10] I think Social Security won.
[2:58:11] Hey, I just want to thank you all.
[2:58:13] We love you all.
[2:58:14] The country is doing really well.
[2:58:16] We're respected all over the world.
[2:58:18] We are respected.
[2:58:19] I think I think like never before.
[2:58:21] Thank you.
[2:58:22] I think like never before.
[2:58:23] And thank you all very much.
[2:58:25] God bless you all.
[2:58:26] Well, thank you very much, everybody.
[2:58:28] Thank you.
[2:58:29] Thank you.
