NEWS: President Trump Reveals He Told Katie Zacharia To 'Reconsider' Being Press Secretary

[0:00] President Trump, why did you guys slow down the star link or the star shield for your friends? [0:05] President Trump, I didn't do that. No, we didn't do that at all. [0:09] In fact, I don't know where it is. I don't even think it was slowed down. [0:12] But what I understand, because I just checked this morning, I heard about it through the news, through the media, [0:18] that we didn't slow it down at all. And I think it's probably functioning from what I understand. [0:23] Then are you shopping around for a new chief of staff? [0:26] No, that's a false report. That was written by Politico as victors. [0:31] I could not be more happy with this. She's done a great job from day one. [0:37] She just recovered from a big problem, and she's fully recovered. [0:41] She's cancer-free, as they say. Two nice words, cancer-free. [0:47] And she was very brave in fighting it. She's been fantastic. [0:51] She's been one of the most successful administrations in the world. [0:55] She's a part of it. That story, in Politico, I guess it was, is a total fake story. [1:01] And we told them before they wrote it, so they put my disclaimer in there. [1:06] They said, no, you know, I disagree. [1:08] But I said, that story is false. Don't write that story. [1:13] But they put it in anyway, because they think that it's a totally false story. [1:16] And what did you think, when you saw the new Tesla Roadster flying? [1:21] I said, I'm very happy for Elon, because I think he just gave him the science award, along with five other people. [1:28] And he deserves it. No, it's great. [1:30] I don't know from a standpoint whether or not you're going to see me in that car, but it's pretty impressive. [1:36] It's very impressive. [1:37] We're doing, as a country, things that nobody ever thought about. [1:41] Mr. President, I'm going to ask you about, because the inflation report was a little bit hotter than expected. [1:46] What's your message to Americans who are filling up their gas tanks? [1:50] Well, oil prices are going to come down very soon. [1:54] When the war ends with Iran, they won't have a nuclear weapon. [1:58] Most importantly, frankly, they won't have... [2:01] And oil prices are going to drop like a rock. [2:03] There's a lot of oil out there, and it's sitting in little areas, and it's sitting in boats, waiting to be unloaded. [2:11] We have a lot of oil, and we have a lot of oil in the world. [2:14] A lot of Texas oil, Alaska oil, Louisiana oil, Venezuela oil. [2:21] We're doing tremendous with Venezuela, making a lot of money. [2:25] So when the war ends, it will be very soon. [2:28] Very, very soon. [2:30] Sooner than people think. [2:31] You're going to have... [2:33] It's going to drop like a rock. [2:35] And there's a problem. [2:36] Because on the G20 meetings, you've got Russian representatives go to those meetings. [2:40] Is Vladimir Putin coming to the G20? [2:42] I don't know. [2:43] No, I don't say he has to be represented. [2:45] I don't know if he's coming. [2:47] Certainly would love to have him. [2:48] Go about dinner last night. [2:50] Mr. President, what do you have? [2:52] Dinner last night with Kid Rock, Stephen A., and Bill Maher. [2:55] Dinner last night with Kid Rock, and Stephen A., and Bill Maher was great. [2:59] I think they had a good time. [3:03] What do you talk about? [3:04] We talk about everything. [3:05] It lasted a long time. [3:07] And, you know, even though they have to sort of put on a certain little facade for their people, [3:13] they like Trump, and I actually like them. [3:15] We had a great time. [3:17] We even took a little tour in the ballroom. [3:19] We went inside the ballroom with beams that are being put up over our heads. [3:25] But it was a great dinner. [3:27] Very informative. [3:29] Smart people. [3:30] Stephen A. is great. [3:31] Bill Maher, I tell you what, he likes me a lot more than people understand, and I actually like him. [3:38] Mr. President, it was a good dinner. [3:40] Mr. President, what do you have to do? [3:41] The Pressure was the president who made the order for Star Shields and Ambassador Green. [3:45] How many people made that order? [3:46] Well, I don't know. [3:47] I know that I think it's the same. [3:49] I'm not sure that it ever came down. [3:51] But I'm pretty sure it's the same. [3:54] But I just checked it this morning. [3:55] It wasn't us. [3:56] I checked it this morning. [3:58] It's the same as it always has been. [4:00] The Pressure was the president. [4:01] Right, Mr. President. [4:02] What's your life to us know that Katie Becker-Lyatt didn't pass the bar in the world with the right of this month? [4:07] Well, Katie's been treated very badly by the media. [4:10] Very, very badly. [4:11] Very unfairly, I think. [4:13] And I just spoke to her about it. [4:14] I said, Katie, is this for you? [4:17] Because, you know, she's been treated very rough. [4:19] And she's a nice person. [4:22] Very nice person. [4:23] I've watched her for years on television. [4:25] But I said, is this for you, Katie? [4:27] Because, honestly, you don't need this. [4:29] You don't have to be treated. [4:31] I would say the fake news, but just generally the media is very rough. [4:36] She was on Sean Hannity last night. [4:38] And Sean was a little bit tough. [4:42] And she did. [4:43] I saw boxing friends this morning. [4:44] They were in some. [4:45] She's been treated, I would say, nastily. [4:51] And I said to Katie, just two minutes ago, I said, Katie, you know, you don't have to do this. [4:56] You know, she said, this is a lot tougher. [4:59] I said, welcome to the world. [5:01] I'm going to let her make that decision. [5:05] Okay. [5:05] You'll have to be here. [5:06] She's a great person. [5:10] And she's been treated roughly. [5:12] You know, I said, do you want to really live like this? [5:15] I don't think they'll ever ease up. [5:17] And, you know, Caroline did a very good job. [5:20] I think Katie maybe would do. [5:22] But Katie's off to a start that the news has been so nasty to her. [5:27] I've never seen her live like it, actually. [5:28] Is she reconsidering? [5:29] And I said to her, honestly, if I were you, I'd reconsider. [5:33] You think about it. [5:34] But I wouldn't reconsider. [5:36] She's got a beautiful husband and family. [5:38] I met the family yesterday, beautiful kids. [5:40] It's like from a picture postcard. [5:42] And I said, you should reconsider because you don't want to go through this. [5:46] What do you want her to do? [5:47] I just want her to be happy. [5:49] Look, she has suffered over the last few days. [5:53] And I'm not saying, you know, I mean, maybe it's not for her. [5:58] I said, you want to be happy in life, I'll do whatever she wants. [6:03] How much time are you going to give her? [6:04] Do you ever stick around with me? [6:06] I'll talk to her when I get back. [6:08] We're going over to, we have a big, big rally. [6:10] Lots of cars, lots of people. [6:12] Big crowds, you know that. [6:14] And I'll talk to her tonight or tomorrow. [6:17] Like I said, I think you should reconsider because I think the press is really being very open. [6:23] Have you been brief on the school shooting before? [6:26] I was. [6:26] I was. [6:27] Well, I'll tell you what, there was a great hero, and it could have been as bad as it was. [6:34] We had a great hero that went in and did the business. [6:36] He took care of business. [6:39] And thank God we had him, otherwise it would have been much worse. [6:42] It's a terrible thing. [6:43] But thank goodness for a man that had a gun and knew how to use it. [6:48] Do you still think Ken Paxton can win, sir? [6:51] I think he's still going to win. [6:52] Do you think Ken Paxton can win? [6:53] Ken Paxton's got way up in the pole. [6:56] I'm going to Texas again. [6:59] I went there twice. [7:01] And since I've been there, you know, these rallies have changed the whole ballgame. [7:06] The rallies have been very successful, and they've changed the whole ballgame. [7:09] I think Ken Paxton now is bleeding by a little bit. [7:12] He was losing, but he's bleeding. [7:15] And a lot of it had to do with the rallies. [7:17] And a lot of it is by saying that Ken Paxton has been the best attorney general in the state of Texas in the history of the state of Texas. [7:25] Ken Paxton is one of the best in this country, and you've got to be given credit for that. [7:30] And the other guy is, he's a freak. [7:34] Honestly, he would be so bad for Texas. [7:37] He seems to be so bad for the country and sell a freak out. [7:41] Now, on the ballroom, on the ballroom, the Washington Post is out with a list of donors more than $300 million. [7:47] You said you were going to put some of your money in there. [7:49] Yeah, I think you did. [7:50] Can you say how much money you're going to put in? [7:53] No, I haven't said to you. [7:54] When they run out, I'll be there, okay? [7:57] But we're right now right on budget. [7:58] We're ahead of schedule. [8:00] And you see it behind us. [8:01] It's going to be one of it will be the greatest ballroom anywhere in the world. [8:05] And the military complex that we're building, the road corridor top, six stories, five stories below. [8:13] There'll be nothing like it anywhere in the world. [8:15] And on your plane, sir? [8:16] I think they have released, don't they? [8:19] And on your plane, sir? [8:20] I gave a list to a couple of different outlets. [8:23] And you called Ukraine as a freak for attacking Russia. [8:26] He wants Kalansky out. [8:28] Have you forgotten that it's President Putin who started the war? [8:32] Well, you know, I know the details, okay? [8:35] And at some point, I'll release the details. [8:38] But I don't care anything except for one. [8:41] I want that war ended. [8:43] 25,000 soldiers on average a month are being killed. [8:47] Last month, 32,000 soldiers. [8:50] And I think the two leaders, I deal with both of them, [8:54] I think they want that war ended there. [8:56] And I think it's going to end. [8:58] That's all I care about. [8:59] I want that war to end. [9:00] I don't believe they were the documents picked for themselves. [9:20] I appreciate that question. [9:22] No, the Biden administration was very corrupt. [9:26] And Hunter Biden and the father and the whole group, [9:29] they were very corrupt people. [9:30] The people, especially the people surrounding the desk. [9:34] Like these, I'll mention the names later. [9:37] I think I'm going to mention it later. [9:39] But it was a very corrupt, weaponized administration. [9:44] And yes, they did a lot of bad things. [9:48] Happy to do with Ukraine. [9:49] President, do you think that Saudi Arabia should accept the help that Israel is offering to fight the sea rebels? [9:57] I can tell you, you can hear about it. [9:59] The issue is very helpful to Saudi Arabia. [10:04] And yeah, I think certainly we do. [10:06] I have a court back on the table. [10:09] I think so, God, maybe more than ever. [10:13] The Abraham, of course, is one of our great achievements. [10:16] And yeah, I would say maybe more than ever. [10:19] But Saudi Arabia is very happy to have his support and our support. [10:23] But it wasn't you or wasn't Elon Musk? [10:26] Anybody, because it wasn't me. [10:33] And I don't think it was Elon Musk. [10:35] And from what I understand, it's the same as it's always been. [10:39] So, thank you, Senator . [10:40] I'm going to give you a fake story. [10:48] Let me just try to give you a wild story. [10:51] It's a fake story. [10:52] It's incredible. [10:54] And maybe the most successful first two years. [10:57] And it's not even two years in the history of the president. [11:00] He took my team exam. [11:02] Farts, he stopped. [11:04] He just went through a lot with the cancer surgery and the whole thing. [11:07] and she recovered, fully recovered, it's phenomenal. [11:11] We told that to Politico, we said, [11:13] the story is totally wrong. [11:15] And the only one that matters is think, [11:17] because I'm the one that makes you. [11:20] And so they made up fake news, they released it, [11:22] knowing who was a fake story. [11:24] Susie is here, and she's going to be here for a long time. [11:27] What about Katie Dr. Ryan? [11:29] I told Katie, I told Katie that in my opinion [11:32] she was treated very, very unfairly, very unfairly, [11:35] so I said, when I get back, we're going to Georgia right now. [11:39] We have a tremendous amount of money. [11:47] And I said, Katie, we're talking about a street company. [11:49] We like Katie a lot. [11:50] I think she's really, really treated very unfairly. [11:53] What are you saying? [11:54] You're talking about firing her? [11:55] I want her to have a good life. [12:00] I don't want her to have a life like she's planned [12:02] in the last three days. [12:03] She is being treated by the media. [12:06] I think very unfairly, but she's brutalized by the media. [12:09] So I said, when I get back, we're going to Georgia right now. [12:13] We have a tremendous crowd of people. [12:15] And the President said, you know, I don't know if you know, [12:18] these rallies are turning everything around. [12:20] These rallies are legendary. [12:22] These are like the rallies I've had. [12:24] And I didn't think I'd have to do it, [12:26] but I want to make sure Republicans do as well as they can do. [12:29] History says that a President, Republican or Democrat, [12:33] never did as well in the midterm. [12:35] He had the most successful two years, [12:37] and it's a little short of two years yet. [12:39] But in the history of the presidency, [12:41] there's never been two years like that, [12:43] including Greenland, Venezuela, [12:47] including the best business, the best investment, [12:50] the biggest, the best stock market for the party of the day. [12:55] It's been incredible for her time. [12:57] We are, there's never been anything like it. [13:00] And getting back to Susie for a second, [13:02] Susie's area. [13:04] We told Politico that she's going to be with me for a long time. [13:11] I don't think that Katie, she made to suffer like she's suffering, [13:23] she just had the hands of the president. [13:25] So I will talk to her as soon as I get done. [13:27] I'll make you apologize. [13:53] A lot of people want that job. [13:56] But I just made the rest of the first up today. [14:00] And I said, there's no reason to do that. [14:03] We'll make it in the end. [14:11] We'll make it in the end. [14:12] Are you upset that she can get you? [14:18] I'm a little bit of a chance for our kids. [14:40] Loyalty. [15:13] 45 years. [15:14] Mostly young, so I want them to stop. [15:18] So I want them to stop. [15:20] That means they'll let me in the end. [15:22] And then, Gordon, we're very thankful for the man that did the job. [15:56] The man is his wife. [16:04] The man has his wife. [16:07] The man who ever was into this world can count. [16:09] And let's go. [16:20] The other countries have gone this way. [17:11] They've all gone back. [17:12] It's never worked. [17:13] It's never worked. [17:14] It's never worked. [17:16] You're never gonna work. [17:18] The president of the United States is in the United States. [17:20] The president of the US has gone. [17:23] We have more investment coming into the U.S. than ever before. [17:27] It's one of the greatest stories ever told, having to do with the economy. [17:32] We have $21 trillion. [17:34] The team is being invested in the United States right now. [17:37] It's never been anything like it. [17:39] Thank you very much.
