Donald Trump addresses Vivek Ramaswamy ad, Russian sanctions and Stephen Hubbard release

[0:00] So I'm going to South Carolina, [0:03] trying to hopefully get Darlene Graham elected. [0:07] She's fantastic. [0:09] The sister of Lindsay. [0:11] And we have a tremendous crowd, as we have always had. [0:15] And I think it'll be an amazing day. [0:17] We had a very good meeting just now, as you know, in Cyprus, cybersecurity. [0:23] And that's in full play. [0:24] And we're going to do very well. [0:26] It should have been done many years ago by other administration. [0:31] And do you have any quick questions? [0:33] Go ahead. [0:35] Where's this? [0:41] Where? [0:42] In Ohio. [0:43] The governor of Canada. [0:44] His mother is featured in Rebecca Obama. [0:49] I don't know anything about it. [0:51] I heard that there's something where her mother went against her. [0:56] I don't know what that has to do with Rebecca. [0:59] I just don't know that. [1:01] And as you know, well, I guess, you know, it was about a Republican. [1:05] I can guarantee you that let it go. [1:07] So that's why you're asking. [1:09] The fact is, I know nothing about it. [1:11] But I hear the mother went very rogue on the daughter. [1:15] It doesn't have a lot of respect for the daughter. [1:17] And I think the mother is a witness to things also. [1:20] So who knows? [1:22] You have to figure that out. [1:24] It's a very unusual situation to have a mother hate her daughter that much. [1:28] But I don't think that has anything to do with the thing. [1:31] I don't know that they are. [1:44] I mean, you're telling me something. [1:46] I wouldn't know that. [1:46] Steve, you're going to South Carolina tonight. [1:49] You're asking for darling Brown. [1:51] What is so hard for him? [1:56] Well, I'll tell you the interesting thing. [1:58] As you know, we have a gentleman coming home from Russia that they've been after for years. [2:03] He was captured or taken during the Biden administration. [2:07] It wouldn't have happened if I were president, but he was taken. [2:11] And he's a highly respected man, Mr. Hubbard, Stephen Hubbard. [2:16] And we were in the midst of negotiating. [2:19] And a lot of stupid people said, and people that don't know how life works, they said, [2:24] why aren't you putting Russia's sanctions and all this in the midst of a negotiation to [2:29] try and get a long-term hostage back from Russia? [2:34] If I would have done that, you would not have Mr. Hubbard coming back right now, right now. [2:40] And you don't know anything. [2:41] I mean, you're a fake dude at CNN. [2:42] Look, right now you have a man that's flying from Russia to wherever he's landing in the United States [2:50] that I got out because I had a very good and very fast negotiation with President Putin. [2:56] If you would have put those sanctions on or whatever you want to call them, [3:00] you could forget about him. [3:01] You'd never see him again. [3:02] He'd be back in jail for 25 years. [3:04] The other thing, very important, we're negotiating with Russia right now on Ukraine. [3:09] We are maybe close to a deal. [3:12] For the first time in a long time, we're maybe close to a deal. [3:16] When you're close to a deal and you have very delicate negotiations, you don't put sanctions on. [3:22] And the other thing, we have decimated Iran. [3:26] Russia has had very little input into Iran. [3:29] They have, certainly they could have done a lot more, but I'm not sure they did almost anything. [3:34] That's something that you have to take into consideration also. [3:38] So, beating Iran, we continue to beat Iran. [3:41] And Russia and China, frankly, have not been certainly much of a player. [3:46] And we appreciate that. [3:47] So, the people that say that, oh, let's put sanctions on, you know, I have the right to do them at any day. [3:52] If they behave badly, if they be, you don't know what you're talking about. [3:59] You're a dummy. [3:59] You're a low IQ person. [4:01] You're a dummy and you work for CNN. [4:02] Let me tell you. [4:03] If I'm negotiating to get a man back, a man that we've wanted back for years, a man that was a prisoner in Siberia or someplace in Russia, [4:13] and we're getting him back because of me, it should have been brought, it should have never happened, [4:18] but it should have been brought back during Biden because he was there during the fight. [4:22] He was captured or taken during Biden. [4:25] When you're negotiating that and you're dropping, and I know that I'm doing it, [4:30] and because a lot of people didn't know, and they say, oh, let's put sanctions on Russia, [4:35] the negotiation would obviously come immediately to an end. [4:39] So, use your head. [4:40] I think it's one of the greatest things we've done. [4:57] We've stopped Iran from having a nuclear weapon. [5:00] It's one of the best things that we've done. [5:03] It took a lot of courage to do it because no other president was willing to do it, [5:08] and if we didn't do it, Iran would right now have already used massive nuclear weapons. [5:24] I don't know who did it, but I was not involved. [5:29] Are you a stupid person? [5:40] Who do you work for? [5:42] You're a stupid person. [5:43] And by the way, your network is the worst of all. [5:46] If you have a meeting, you would certainly have that as a meeting. [5:57] How confident are you? [6:00] I can't say that it's going to happen, [6:04] but having a meeting on denuclearization is a very good thing. [6:07] What would you like to do with stockpile down? [6:39] I can't say that it's going to happen.
