[0:02] Any questions, please?
[0:04] The Press.
[0:05] Mr. President, in addition to this big announcement,
[0:07] you've also been posting about Iran today,
[0:08] opposing their latest demands.
[0:10] You said this last round of talks was Iran's last chance
[0:13] before decapitation.
[0:15] So what now?
[0:16] What comes next?
[0:17] The President Biden will find out.
[0:18] The Press.
[0:19] Are you still a massive escalation?
[0:20] Is that still on the table?
[0:21] The President Biden will find out.
[0:22] The President Biden will find out that ability
[0:23] if we want to do that.
[0:24] Yeah, you'll find out.
[0:25] The Press.
[0:25] The Press.
[0:26] You said you're low-keying it with them.
[0:26] The President Biden will find out that you're semi-negotiating.
[0:28] What exactly does that mean?
[0:28] The President Biden will find out that you're
[0:30] they ask for reparations, you might say,
[0:34] or they ask for money for the damage that we've done.
[0:39] And I said, that's a good idea.
[0:40] Well, we're going to ask for money for the damage
[0:42] they've done over a 50-year period.
[0:44] Whether you go SS Cole or whether you go all of the people
[0:47] that were so badly hurt, so badly wounded or killed,
[0:50] many thousands of people, and maybe damages for the 52,000
[0:55] protesters over the last four months that we killed in Iran.
[0:59] We think they — their family should get damages
[1:01] for killing their person or their child or mother,
[1:04] father that we're protesting.
[1:06] It's at least — it was 52,000 a month and a half ago.
[1:10] So now what is it?
[1:11] So if there's damages to be paid,
[1:14] I think Iran should pay those damages.
[1:16] The Press, Mr. President, on parallel —
[1:17] Mr. President, are you frustrated with Senate Republicans
[1:20] and Leader Thune for going home for recess
[1:22] without passing the Save America Act?
[1:23] The President Biden will find out that they should pass
[1:25] voter ID.
[1:26] I think they should pass proof of citizenship,
[1:29] basically Save America — you know, Save America Act.
[1:32] I think that should be something
[1:34] that we should absolutely get.
[1:36] Yeah.
[1:37] The Press, Mr. President, you're — Mr. President,
[1:39] you're a proud father.
[1:40] Would you have vaccinated your children differently,
[1:43] based on the recommendations that you've done today?
[1:44] The President Biden will find out that you've done.
[1:45] I took my children for five different vaccinations.
[1:48] In other words, I broke it up.
[1:50] The one visit where they just pump, you know,
[1:53] what seemingly looks like gallons, where they pump so much in.
[1:57] I took my — all of my children from day one.
[1:59] I believed in this a long time — a long time ago.
[2:03] I took them with my wife.
[2:06] I took them through five different visits to the doctor.
[2:12] Essentially, they get 20 percent each,
[2:15] and I had no problem.
[2:16] So it's inconvenient.
[2:20] It's five stops.
[2:21] But it's something that I think will have a huge impact on autism.
[2:26] Yeah.
[2:27] The Press, Mr. President, the anti-weaponization fund.
[2:31] Do you think it's still alive at this point?
[2:33] And are there any options that you're looking at to it, perhaps —
[2:35] The President Biden will be up to Todd Blanch.
[2:37] He was a new — and who will be, I think, a great Attorney General.
[2:41] Yeah, please.
[2:42] The Press, Mr. President, why does the establishment media
[2:44] so often seem to be against even asking questions about vaccines?
[2:48] The President Biden is amazing.
[2:49] When you come up with a recommendation for a vaccine,
[2:52] it could be the medical groups, the pharmaceutical groups.
[2:55] I don't know, you know?
[2:57] But it is amazing.
[3:00] There's nothing that we lose with this.
[3:02] If — the worst thing that would happen would be nothing happens.
[3:07] There's — we're not going to lose anything.
[3:10] At the same time, we could gain tremendous —
[3:12] we could save hundreds of thousands of lives, millions of lives.
[3:17] And I wish we could have done it a long time ago.
[3:19] You know, we got stopped by court.
[3:21] We had a court, I guess, in Massachusetts that stopped us very early on.
[3:25] I've been — I believed in this for a long time.
[3:27] So now we're getting it done.
[3:29] And I think you're going to see tremendous —
[3:31] potentially tremendous results.
[3:33] Yeah, Dan, first of all.
[3:34] The Press, Mr. President, a topic on manufacturing.
[3:36] If I may, the Bureau of Labor Statistics put out some information
[3:39] last week saying that U.S. manufacturing output of 4.6 percent
[3:43] increased in the first quarter of 2026.
[3:45] The Supply Management Institute, PMI, shows that manufacturing has expanded
[3:50] for seven consecutive months.
[3:51] You've talked about the American manufacturing renaissance for about 10 years at this point.
[3:56] Given all the statistics and the investment that have come in, do you feel vindicated at this point?
[4:01] The President Biden's office is doing record increases in the United States in manufacturing.
[4:05] A lot of that has to do with the tariffs, because companies are coming in.
[4:09] They're not able to sell their product unless they come in, because they have no tariff.
[4:12] If they build their product, whether it's a car or something else,
[4:15] if they make it in the United States, there is no tariff.
[4:18] So they're coming in.
[4:19] We have a record number of factories under construction.
[4:22] Factories, plants, things as such.
[4:26] Toyota just announced that they're building the largest —
[4:29] the largest car plant — they make cars plant in the world, anywhere in the world.
[4:37] They're leaving Mexico and they're coming to the United States.
[4:40] Many, many car plants, AI, other — you know, they're opening.
[4:45] I will say that they're leaving Canada, they're leaving Mexico, they're leaving Germany,
[4:50] they're leaving Japan, they're leaving South Korea.
[4:52] They're coming into the United States because they don't want to pay a 25 percent tariff on a car.
[4:57] And they don't have to pay a tariff if they make it here.
[4:59] So we have the largest number of plants ever being built in the United States right now.
[5:05] Hard to believe, right?
[5:06] Because if you listen to some of our past projects,
[5:08] this would never be a manufacturing country again.
[5:11] And these plants are going to be start opening up in about six months.
[5:15] And I can only say that the next president
[5:19] will get a lot of credit for what I've done.
[5:20] It's — please remember, it was me, not them.
[5:23] The Pressure.
[5:23] The Pressure, I think I heard you say that the MMR vaccine for measles, mumps, and rubella is quite lethal.
[5:29] Is there any evidence of that?
[5:31] Can anyone in the room —
[5:32] And what I've heard is that there are some people that say it is that way.
[5:37] And I say, well, let's say there's a five percent chance of it.
[5:42] Let's split it up.
[5:44] Let's split it up.
[5:45] Because they do say that, given individual — MMO —
[5:49] that, given individual, there is no impact.
[5:52] In fact, they've said how safe it seems to be.
[5:55] But I've heard when you put them together, they can be explosive.
[5:58] Yeah.
[5:58] The Pressure, Mr. President, have you spoken with the new Attorney General or Jeanine Pirro about prosecuting Dr. Fauci?
[6:04] I have not spoken to him about that, no.
[6:06] The Pressure, Mr. President, Senators Rand Paul and Ron Johnson released some text messages from Anthony Fauci.
[6:11] And it appears that as early as January 2021, they knew that there could possibly be complications with pregnant women and miscarriages tied to the COVID vaccine.
[6:20] Yet the Biden administration helped officials. They didn't change their rhetoric. Your reaction?
[6:24] Well, the Biden administration was a disaster in every way.
[6:28] That would be just one way. But there have been a disaster in every single way.
[6:33] It's unimaginable what they did in that — forget about weaponization. Forget even about — you know, as important as what you're saying —
[6:41] so many of the open borders, the men and women's sports. They've just been — it's just been a horrendous disaster.
[6:48] The highest inflation in history. And we're doing a great job.
[6:52] Mr. President, thank you.
[6:57] Unbundling the shots into more visits means more copays for families.
[7:00] What's your recommendation for families that can't afford to keep paying for those visits?
[7:04] Well, we're going to be working with them, and we're going to work with the families,
[7:07] and we're going to make sure everything works out cost-wise very well.
[7:10] Yeah, please.
[7:11] The Pressure, Mr. President.
[7:13] What recommendations do you have for Republicans, you know, heading into midterms right now?
[7:17] And are Democrats, with the candidates they're putting forward, making life easier for —
[7:20] Well, the one thing is, we have jihadists being elected all over the place.
[7:24] We have this — whether it's communism, jihadism — it's — a lot of — a friend of mine called up.
[7:30] He said, you know, really, you should use the word jihadist, because that's what's happening.
[7:34] And I'm not sure that anybody — if you take a look at what happens in other countries,
[7:39] I think that's not going to be necessarily the way we want to live.
[7:42] But when you look at the radicalism and the craziness of the candidates and the stupidity
[7:48] of what they're suggesting — let's get rid of the Supreme Court, let's get rid of the
[7:52] presidency, let's get rid of the Senate — they want to get — you know, sometimes
[7:56] I'd like to get rid of the Senate, too.
[7:58] But I don't say it.
[8:00] And I wouldn't do it.
[8:01] But, you know, they want to get rid of the Senate.
[8:03] They want to get rid of, ideally, the House, but they're thinking about maybe keeping the
[8:08] House.
[8:09] You know?
[8:10] Isn't that nice?
[8:11] These are people that have been not successful.
[8:13] They're people that have been, in many cases, failures.
[8:17] They come from other failed countries, and they come here and they tell us how to run our
[8:21] country.
[8:22] They come from places — like I won't mention, because I don't want to get myself into a controversy,
[8:28] but they come from countries that are not great.
[8:32] They come from, let's say, as an example, Somalia.
[8:35] They come in and then they tell us how to — how our constitution, how our declaration of
[8:40] independence, how it works — it doesn't work that way.
[8:44] And they're not smart.
[8:48] They have no aptitude.
[8:50] They have nothing going, and they're telling us how to run our country.
[8:53] And I just don't think it's going to happen.
[8:55] I think that they start off — now, I may be wrong, but, you know, they start off with
[8:59] a big disadvantage.
[9:01] People don't want to have radical lunatics involved in running our country.
[9:05] And that's what we have.
[9:06] We have people that are saying things that are so great, now they're denying it.
[9:09] Or they say, well, I've changed my mind.
[9:11] They want to defund our police.
[9:12] They want to terminate our military.
[9:14] No military.
[9:15] We don't want any military in our country.
[9:17] We don't want our police to be paid anymore.
[9:19] They want our police down to, like, almost nothing.
[9:22] It's, like, doesn't make sense, right?
[9:27] Mr. President, you give us an estimate of when you think the strait of war moves
[9:32] will be part of the deal to open up more.
[9:34] Mr. Well, it's open now.
[9:35] We're taking a lot of shit.
[9:36] It's open now.
[9:37] Look, the only one that has control of the strait of Hormuz right now is the United States Navy.
[9:42] We have a blockade that's been infallible.
[9:44] It's a steel wall.
[9:47] And we let people in that we want to let in.
[9:49] And those people come in, and they've been coming in and they're going out.
[9:53] So it's actually open now.
[9:55] We do not let them go into Iran.
[9:56] They're not admitted into the strait to go to Iran.
[10:00] But it's open for others.
[10:03] Now, a little bit complex because they will, on occasion, drop a mine.
[10:09] We find the mines.
[10:10] You know, we've mineswept the entire strait, as you probably maybe heard, maybe you didn't hear.
[10:16] But we control the strait 100 percent.
[10:21] Now, can they make trouble?
[10:23] Yeah, they can make trouble.
[10:24] But they're broke.
[10:25] They have no money.
[10:26] You know, Iran is broke, totally broke.
[10:29] And they're not paying their soldiers.
[10:32] They have inflation of 300 percent.
[10:35] As of last night, I heard 300, 309 percent.
[10:39] So we'll see what happens.
[10:40] But they've been bad for it.
[10:43] They say 47.
[10:44] It's actually 50 now.
[10:46] 47, they've been saying it for three years.
[10:48] But for 50 years, they've been the bully of the Middle East.
[10:51] What they've done is terrible.
[10:52] They've killed hundreds of thousands of people.
[10:56] They've killed people.
[10:57] They've wounded and maimed people with the legs, the arms.
[10:59] You know, with the, the roadside bomb is their bomb.
[11:02] They're very proud of it.
[11:04] And now they're paying a price.
[11:06] Thank you very much, everybody.
[11:08] The Pressure, President, has been calling Chairman Warsh?
[11:11] The Pressure, President, has been calling Chairman Warsh occasionally?
[11:14] What do you talk about the best?
[11:15] The President, no.
[11:16] Actually, the Wall Street Journal had a wrong story.
[11:18] They said, he said I spoke to him.
[11:19] No, I have tremendous respect for Kevin Warsh.
[11:22] I've only spoken to him one time, briefly, a few days ago.
[11:27] Just a conversation.
[11:28] Look, he's going to do it. He's going to run it.
[11:31] I know what he'd like to do, but he has to run it.
[11:33] He's got a board. It's not only him.
[11:35] If it was up to him, it would be different.
[11:37] But he's got a board. But I've only — you know,
[11:39] they said I speak to him all the time.
[11:41] And I've spoken to him one time since his assumption,
[11:44] since he took over.
[11:46] And great conversation, but just a — he's a great guy.
[11:50] You know, he's my pick.
[11:52] And I'm going with him 100 percent.
[11:55] But they made it sound like I live and breathe.
[11:58] You know, I speak to Kevin all the time, every time.
[12:01] I spoke to him one time. Okay. Thank you very much.
[12:03] The Press. Thank you. Thank you.
[12:05] Thank you, Press. Thank you.
[12:07] The Press. Thank you. Thank you, sir.
[12:09] Thank you, sir. Thank you, sir.
[12:12] The President. Well, I put it out today in truth.
[12:14] I do. I have a response. I put it out today in truth.
[12:17] The Press. The Press. Thank you, Press.
[12:19] The relationship is very good. Yeah. Thank you.
[12:21] The Press. Thank you. Thank you, guys.
[12:22] Thank you. Thank you.
[12:23] The Press. Thank you, sir. Thank you.
[12:25] The Press. Thank you, Press. Quickly.
[12:27] Come on, guys. Thank you.
