Trump Takes Questions About Iran War, Pope Feud As He Gets McDonald's From DoorDash

[0:03] What? [0:04] I don't know. [0:16] McDonald's. [0:31] This doesn't look staged, does it? [0:32] They're all your favorites. [0:33] That's right. [0:34] These are good. [0:35] You're just doing a good job. [0:38] So, the reason for this is the fact that I heard you picked up an extra $11,000 that [0:44] you didn't get because the tax bill was so big, the refund was the biggest you've ever [0:49] had. [0:50] Is that a correct statement? [0:51] It definitely was. [0:52] Yeah. [0:53] I saved over $11,000 by not having to claim. [0:58] Was that surprising to you? [1:00] It was very surprising. [1:01] Very surprising. [1:02] The Great Big Beautiful Bill. [1:03] And that doesn't include overtime in your case. [1:06] This is only just based on what we did in terms of every other aspect of the tax bill, [1:12] right? [1:13] Yes, sir. [1:14] So, it was $11,000. [1:15] Yes, sir. [1:16] Incredible. [1:18] And that's what it is. [1:19] The tax cut. [1:20] It's really, you know, we call it the Great Big Beautiful Bill. [1:22] We should call it the Great Big Beautiful Tax Cut Bill because it's a tremendous amount [1:27] of money. [1:28] And that's overtime. [1:29] It's also on Social Security, as you know. [1:30] Yes. [1:31] And it's pretty amazing. [1:32] Yes, it is. [1:33] And you're really nice. [1:34] Would you like to do a little news conference one day with these people? [1:36] These are not the nicest people. [1:37] And they're not nice like you. [1:38] We know that, right? [1:39] I'll do whatever you ask me to do, sir. [1:40] So, no tax on tips is something special, right? [1:41] It's very special. [1:42] And that's one that really pertains to you more than anything else. [1:43] Yes, sir. [1:44] That's fantastic. [1:45] It's such an honor to meet you. [1:46] And I think you voted for me, did you think? [1:47] Maybe. [1:48] Yeah? [1:49] I heard you're a great supporter. [1:50] We appreciate it. [1:51] Thank you. [1:52] I'll put this over here. [1:53] And why don't we have a news conference for the press? [1:54] Okay. [1:55] Sure. [1:56] You don't have to space safety lights. [1:57] I think you're looking about hormones straight and various other things. [2:03] Do you have any questions? [2:04] Mr. President, did you post that picture of yourself depicted as Jesus Christ? [2:08] Well, it wasn't depicted. [2:09] It was me. [2:10] I did post it. [2:11] And I thought it was me as the doctor. [2:12] And it had to do with Red Cross as a Red Cross worker there, which we support. [2:13] And only the fake news could come up with that one. [2:15] So, I had just heard about it. [2:16] And I said, how did they come up with that? [2:17] It's supposed to be me, and I said, how do they come up with that? [2:19] It's supposed to be me, and I said, how do they come up with that? [2:20] It's supposed to be me, and I said, how do they come up with that? [2:21] I said, how do they come up with that? [2:22] You're looking about hormones straight and various other things. [2:23] Do you have any questions? [2:24] Mr. President, did you post that picture of yourself depicted as Jesus Christ? [2:25] Well, it wasn't depicted. [2:26] It was me. [2:27] I did post it. [2:28] And I thought it was me as the doctor. [2:29] And it had to do with Red Cross. [2:30] There's a Red Cross worker there, which we support. [2:33] And only the fake news could come up with that one. [2:36] So, I had just heard about it. [2:40] And I said, how did they come up with that? [2:42] It's supposed to be me as a doctor making people better. [2:46] And I do make people better. [2:47] I make people a lot better. [2:49] As an example, the 11,000, I understand your husband is going through treatment. [2:55] Yes, sir. [2:56] Yes, sir. [2:57] He has cancer. [2:58] A serious cancer treatment. [2:59] Yes, sir. [3:00] This goes a long way. [3:01] Yes, sir. [3:02] It sure does. [3:03] Mr. President, are another round of talks planned with Iran? [3:06] And if so, would you send Vice President Gene Vanceman? [3:10] Well, he's done a good job. [3:12] Steve and Jared have all done a very good job. [3:15] And I can tell you that we've been called by the other side. [3:19] They'd like to make a deal very badly. [3:21] Very badly. [3:22] What was the sticking point over? [3:24] You said it was over nuclear. [3:25] It was over nuclear. [3:27] Very similar. [3:28] Yeah, very good. [3:29] I guess you're listening. [3:30] It's over. [3:31] The fact that they will never have a nuclear weapon. [3:33] Iran, you mark it down. [3:36] Iran will not have a nuclear weapon. [3:38] And we agreed to a lot of things, but they didn't agree to that. [3:42] And I think they will agree to it. [3:44] I'm almost sure of it. [3:45] In fact, I am sure of it. [3:46] If they don't agree, there's no deal. [3:47] There'll never be a deal. [3:48] Iran will not have a nuclear weapon, and we're going to get the dust back. [3:53] We'll get it back either. [3:54] We'll get it back from them or we'll take it. [3:56] Mr. President, as far as the naval blockade is concerned, what's the end game? [4:00] Is it to force Iran back to the negotiating table? [4:03] Is it to open up the straits so that gas prices ultimately come down? [4:07] Maybe everything. [4:08] I mean, both of those things, certainly, and more. [4:11] We can't let a country blackmail or extort the world, because that's what they're doing. [4:19] They're really blackmailing the world. [4:20] We're not going to let that happen. [4:22] And, you know, the amazing thing is we don't, can you believe this? [4:26] We don't use the strait. [4:27] We don't need the strait. [4:28] We have our own oil and gas, much more than we need. [4:31] We have more oil and gas than Saudi Arabia. [4:34] Think of this. [4:35] We produce more. [4:36] Saudi Arabia and add Russia to it, substantially more. [4:40] And by next year, we'll have double that amount. [4:43] So we don't need it, but the world needs it. [4:46] And many ships are heading to our country right now, as we speak, to load up with the best, [4:53] really, I guess you could say, somebody said, the best and sweetest. [4:57] I don't know exactly what sweet is, but when it relates to oil, it's a good thing. [5:02] But they're coming to our country right now. [5:04] There are many boats coming to our country. [5:06] Now, it could very well be this is going to be settled before that. [5:09] We've been called this morning by the right people, the appropriate people, [5:14] and they want to work a deal. [5:15] They would like to work a deal. [5:16] Is it your anticipation, Mr. President, that other countries will assist in this effort to blockade Iran and those specific things? [5:23] Yeah. [5:24] Other countries are going to also. [5:25] Which countries, sir? [5:26] We don't need other countries, frankly. [5:28] But they've offered the services. [5:31] We'll let it be known probably tomorrow. [5:33] Has the blockade started, sir? [5:34] Yeah. [5:35] Started. [5:36] 10 o'clock. [5:37] Robert Barron supports you and your policies. [5:40] He praises you for defending religious freedom. [5:43] Yeah. [5:44] He now says you owe Pope Leo an apology. [5:46] Do you apologize? [5:47] No, I don't. [5:48] Because Pope Leo said things that are wrong. [5:51] He was very much against what I'm doing with regard to Iran. [5:56] And you cannot have a nuclear Iran. [5:58] Pope Leo would not be happy with the end result. [6:01] You have hundreds of millions of people dead. [6:03] And it's not going to happen. [6:05] So I can't. [6:06] I think he's very weak on crime and other things. [6:10] So I'm not. [6:11] I mean, he went public. [6:12] I'm just responding to Pope Leo. [6:14] And, you know, his brother is a big MAGA person. [6:18] And he's a great guy, Lewis. [6:19] And I said, I like Lewis better than I like the Pope. [6:22] Now, you have to have law and order in our country. [6:25] And that's what we have now. [6:27] We have the lowest crime numbers we've had in a long time, [6:30] despite the fact that many criminals were allowed into our country. [6:33] But we've gotten a lot of them out. [6:35] We've done a great job on crime. [6:37] So we have the lowest murder rate in 125 years. [6:41] Since 1900, the lowest murder rate. [6:44] So we believe strongly in law and order. [6:47] And he he seemed to have a problem with that. [6:50] So there's nothing to apologize for. [6:52] He's wrong. [6:53] And the other thing is he didn't like what we're doing with respect to Iran. [6:58] But Iran is a wants to be a nuclear nation so they can exterminate the world. [7:05] Not going to happen. [7:06] I don't want to comment on that. [7:15] But it won't be pleasant for them. [7:17] Let me put it that way. [7:18] Do you still claim a target? [7:19] Has your strategy for you? [7:21] Has your timetable changed in any way in terms of ending this conflict? [7:24] No. [7:25] It's going on. [7:27] Right now there's no fighting. [7:29] Right now we have a blockade. [7:31] They're doing no business. [7:33] I didn't like seeing boats come out if they were doing business with Iran. [7:37] But if there weren't, no boats came out. [7:38] So now they're doing Iran is doing absolutely no business. [7:42] And we're going to keep it that way very easily. [7:44] Don't forget that Navy is gone. [7:47] Their air force is gone. [7:48] Their anti-aircraft is gone. [7:49] Their radar is gone and their leaders are gone. [7:52] That's a lot. [7:53] Do you still want to charge that Also, he certainly wants it ended. [7:54] Everyone, I want to see it ended too. [7:55] But we can't give a nuclear weapon to a group of people that have caused nothing but havoc [8:03] for 47 years. [8:04] with China he would like to see this end at all he certainly wants it ended [8:08] everyone I want to see it ended too but we can't give a nuclear weapon to a [8:15] group of people that have caused nothing but havoc for 47 years look I'm [8:20] the president that's done something about it this should have been and many [8:24] other presidents regret that they didn't you know so I'm doing something [8:29] there are a bunch of crooked people you're talking about with respect to all [8:47] of the things that they put against me yeah well it's come out that in so many [8:52] different ways thank you very much for that question I appreciate it but in so [8:55] many different ways the election was rigged the 2020 election was rigged [8:59] we found that out what you just said is just a piece of that it's a big piece [9:05] but minor relatively speaking compared to what they did they cheated on the [9:09] election they cheated on the vote they cheated in every way possible and it's [9:13] the only way we got an incompetent man to be a president and he was an [9:17] incompetent man many of the things that we're talking about even including this [9:20] this would have been settled a long time ago not now and it should have been [9:25] settled by other presidents but the election was a rigged election we can't [9:28] let that happen to our country well it's very serious charge against them and the [9:36] Democrats they cheat they can't get elected with their policy so their [9:41] policy is no good they want to have I mean open borders they want to have men [9:48] playing in women's sport do you think that men should play in women's sports I [9:52] really don't have an opinion on that you don't I'll bet you do [9:56] I'm here about attacks on tips [10:04] go ahead please thank you mr. president is it your understanding that during this period of [10:08] time while the US has instituted this naval blockade that oil companies will be able to [10:14] send their oil tankers through the strait get more oil out from this area yeah I think they're [10:19] going to be doing very well there and I think they're doing very well here you know a lot of [10:23] tankers are coming up here they're coming in empty and out full and we have a great capacity to [10:29] take care of that business may we know your name please have you delivered to the White House before [10:33] I have not my name is Sharon Simmons and by the White House consumers do you know um wait [10:40] that's great thank you you reminded me sir you previously said that you had no problem with [10:54] countries sending fuel to Cuba after previously promising to tear them what happened what we're [11:02] going to see with Cuba when Cuba's another story Cuba's been a terribly run country for a long time it's [11:08] got a bad system it's been very oppressive as you know and we have a lot of great Cuban Americans [11:14] all of whom just about voted for me and they were treated very badly in many cases family members [11:20] have been killed they've been beaten up and mugged and like terrible things happened in Cuba and Cuba is [11:27] a failing nation and we're going to do this and we may stop by Cuba after we're finished with this but Cuba is [11:35] a nation that was it's been horribly run for many years by Castro Bill Pulte regarding those two recent [11:44] referrals for Letitia James for insurance fraud do you know if federal prosecutors have evidence to charge [11:50] well I don't know I know she's a very corrupt person and you're talking about the so-called [11:57] Attorney General of New York she's a very corrupt person that's been proven now and I know they I have [12:03] nothing to do with it but they're looking at things all over all over the place more than one [12:09] state concerning her and concerning people like Comey who's a dirty cop Comey's a dirty cop and dirty [12:17] cops a bit I love nobody likes the police more than me law enforcement more than me but Comey's a [12:24] totally dirty cop and not gonna we're not gonna stand for it yeah the UFC fight that's happening at the [12:30] White House this summer UFC typically numbers those fights consecutively but should they label this [12:36] one UFC 1776 that's a good idea I'll tell that to Dana White I like that idea I will say I've been [12:43] involved with a lot of big events I have never had an event that's had more interest in the UFC fight [12:49] that we have right at the front door right there they're gonna start building on about a 4,500 seat [12:54] arena and then in the back at the ellipse we're gonna have maybe a hundred thousand fifty to a hundred [13:01] thousand people I guess they're building tremendous stages and we're gonna have massive screens of the [13:07] fight and it's you know very popular sport but I have never been involved because of the White House and [13:14] everything you know there's a lot of reasons for it but we're having a fight at the White House on June 14th [13:19] and we're gonna have an arena built right at the front door and you know if you want is your husband [13:25] up to coming you think does he like UFC he might if he's

thing that I just didn't [14:34] believe in we've had more good press for change having to do with the fact that people are receiving [14:40] more money from their tax refunds than they ever thought possible we had a man the other they got [14:46] five thousand dollars another one got seven that they weren't expecting anything like this and it's [14:50] because of the great big beautiful bill and
