Full Trump cabinet meeting at Camp David: Iran war, Israel deal, rush of migrants to Spain discussed

[0:00] In certain aspects of Camp David, it's a very special place. [0:03] But it was not, I guess, the last visit was with Eisenhower, [0:08] where they allowed you onto the actual campus. [0:11] And it's a long time ago, but never into this room. [0:14] I want to thank all of you for being here. [0:17] And again, this is a Cabinet meeting. [0:19] It's open. [0:20] We have done a lot of open Cabinet meetings. [0:23] And I feel it works out very well. [0:25] Everybody can ask certain questions. [0:28] People like you talk about certain things are ongoing and very important. [0:34] But this is one of the most talented teams ever to serve the United States and in the United States. [0:40] This is a talented group of people. [0:42] Let's see, I'll go one after another. [0:45] Yeah, it's a couple of steps, but that's okay. [0:50] It's an amazing group. [0:52] And America is safer and stronger and far more successful than it was two years ago. [0:57] And I think, frankly, that it ever was. [0:59] I don't think it's ever been anything like this. [1:03] We're building more factories and plants in this country than we've ever built before. [1:08] And we're going to be in this country in very, very good shape today. [1:26] Staying secure in history. [1:29] Ramping time. [1:34] Men and women. [1:35] Transgender utilization of your children. [1:39] And quite a good job. [1:44] In less than 18 months, we've turned around four years of disaster. [1:50] And we now have the strongest border in American history. [1:53] We went from the worst border. [1:54] I don't think of any country in it. [1:56] Five million people came through in four years. [1:59] And these are people that, in many cases, you don't want. [2:01] They were murderers. [2:02] They were drug dealers. [2:03] They were people that you do not have the strongest border in American history. [2:09] And for the last 15 months, the report just came out again. [2:13] We've had no people coming in through our southern border. [2:16] Zero. [2:17] And it's almost hard to say because you'd say, is that even possible? [2:20] They had 25 million people came in. [2:23] We have no people coming in through illegally through our southern border. [2:26] And that's in history. [2:27] So think of that zero, a big, beautiful zero. [2:30] The murder rate saw its single largest drop ever recorded to the lowest in five years. [2:37] That goes back to, think of it, that goes back to the lowest murder of our country. [2:45] So that's all. [2:46] Today, I just want to mention that we heard in Minnesota there was a cyber attack. [2:53] And they blame it on Iran. [2:55] I don't think so. [2:56] I think I blame it on Minnesota because they're grossly incompetent. [2:59] There was a cyber attack of 30 water plants. [3:02] And I would blame it on Minnesota and the governor, the corrupt governor of Minnesota. [3:07] They like to say, oh, it's Iran. [3:09] Iran should be so lucky. [3:11] Iran's got bigger problems than worrying about Minnesota. [3:14] This month it was announced that inflation is dropping at the fastest rate in more than six years. [3:20] Walmart, Sam's Club, Giant Eagle, and others are slashing prices by hundreds of grocery stores and all of the stores. [3:28] I mean, throughout the country they're slashing prices. [3:31] Some of my last administration, the stock market has set 73 all-time record highs since the election. [3:40] That means all-time record highs, 73 days out of a very short period of time. [3:47] And the typical 401 is up by more than $30,000. [3:51] And when you think of that, if you add another $1,000 to it, it will be, we set the record in the last administration, a record still standing. [4:04] This administration is going to blow my last administration away. [4:08] When the factories that we're building at record, then we're not building them. [4:12] All over the world they're building. [4:14] They're coming from all over the world. [4:16] They're coming from Germany with the cars. [4:18] They're coming from Germany. [4:19] They're coming from Japan, South Korea. [4:21] From all over the world they're building oil plants here because otherwise they have to pay tariffs. [4:27] The tariffs have made our country rich and successful. [4:31] And all of this, I mean, I'd like to say it was the election. [4:34] On November 5th it was the election, and that's fine. [4:38] But without the election you wouldn't have what I've done economically. [4:42] So we have the most successful environment that we've ever had. [4:46] There's never been anything like it from the standpoint of investment into our country. [4:51] It's five to six times higher than anybody has ever seen, than any other country, any other country, not just us, has ever had. [4:59] On July 4th we launched Trump accounts to keep a vision of our great, big, beautiful bill. [5:04] And these tax-free investment savings accounts have already been activated by over 7 million children. [5:10] These are investments made in our future, which is our children. [5:14] Our children are the most important aspect of our future, with more being added each day. [5:19] So it's a tremendous hit. [5:21] Over 7 million and really, really just got going, I would say, Scott, about two weeks ago when it was — [5:28] we got the final approvals. [5:30] And we have over 7 million — actually, there's never been anything quite like that. [5:34] But millions of accounts are free-funded with $1,000 from the U.S. Treasury, [5:40] or generous gifts from private donors like Michael and Susan Dell, [5:44] and others who have given billions of dollars — billions. [5:47] People are putting up hundreds of billions and billions of dollars into it, [5:51] and buying really a great future for children. [5:55] When they turn 18 or when they turn 21, instead of having no hope, no future, [6:00] they will end up with hundreds of thousands of dollars, and maybe even more than that. [6:04] So it's going to be something to see. [6:06] With modest additional contributions, they'll grow by numbers that could be — it could be over $200,000. [6:13] We're looking at the timeline. [6:15] We're looking at — I wish we had an economy like we have now, [6:18] where the stock market's going up. [6:20] But they will benefit by our country being successful. [6:24] We're going to give every child a head start on the American dream. [6:28] So go to trumpaccounts.gov. [6:30] They're really something — the whole world's talking about it, [6:33] and it's far ahead of schedule. [6:35] Nobody thought it would be as successful as it's been. [6:38] It should be. [6:39] It should be. [6:40] And we start them off with $1,000, and this was part of the Great Big Beautiful Bill. [6:44] With my most favored nation policy, you could say this is — [6:47] even a bigger thing if that's possible — on drug prices. [6:52] We're achieving record discounts on prescription drugs. [6:55] The prescription drugs were going through the roof for many years, [6:59] and now we're getting record discounts with price differences [7:02] of 300, 400, 500, 600 percent. [7:07] Nobody's ever heard of a thing like that. [7:09] And what this is all about is that we were the highest — [7:14] we had the highest prices anywhere in the world by far — [7:17] most expensive drugs, prescription drugs, and others. [7:21] The highest in the world. [7:22] The whole world was laughing at us. [7:24] We paid for the rest of the world. [7:25] We subsidized the whole world. [7:27] And I said, we're not going to do that. [7:29] And I started it in the first administration. [7:31] I took it up. [7:33] Obviously, Biden wasn't able to do anything about it. [7:36] Because you had to get the consent of the drug companies, [7:38] and you had to get the consent. [7:40] More difficult would be the consent of other nations. [7:43] The other nations had to agree, but they were paying a fraction — [7:46] sometimes 10 percent, 20 percent, 40 percent, 70 percent less. [7:53] So I had to call them, and I had to get them on. [7:55] And I said, if you don't do it, we're going to have to charge your tariffs. [7:57] And they all said no at first, very politely. [8:00] They said, sir, we can't do that. [8:02] We're not going to double our prices. [8:04] They had to double their prices, and in some cases triple their price, [8:08] and we would come down. [8:09] So a pill that sold for $10 in Germany would sell for $130 in New York — [8:17] same pill from the same company, the same factory, the same plant, [8:20] the same laboratory — from $10, and we pay $130. [8:25] I said, no, no. [8:27] Now, the world is a bigger place, so it's not as bad as it sounds for them. [8:31] So they went up to $20, and we came down to $20. [8:34] So we now have the lowest drug prices anywhere in the world. [8:38] We're tied with the lowest, but we're basically its favorite nation. [8:42] So we have the lowest drug prices anywhere in the world, [8:45] from the highest drug prices anywhere in the world. [8:48] Now, what that does for your health care — [8:50] I mean, I see these fake polls where the Democrats have wonderful numbers on this stuff, [8:55] and they are horrible, what they've done. [8:57] Obamacare is a total disaster. [8:59] It's a costly wreck. [9:01] It's unaffordable. [9:02] We call it the Unaffordable Care Act. [9:04] It's a disgrace. [9:05] They never even thought of being able to do something like this. [9:08] They didn't even try. [9:09] They didn't even try. [9:10] So I got the drug companies first, and then I got the countries. [9:16] And the drug companies agreed because they knew the countries wouldn't agree. [9:20] And when I called Germany, France, when I called the UK, [9:24] when I called all of these countries, I said, [9:26] you've got to do it. [9:27] It's unfair. [9:28] We're paying ten times more than you're paying for the same drug. [9:31] You can't do this. [9:32] And they said, well, we're not going to do that, [9:34] because we're going to have to double our price today in order to make you happy. [9:37] I said, no, maybe you're going to have to triple your price. [9:39] They said, well, we can't do it. [9:40] And they said, that's all right. [9:41] If you can't do it, then I can't do something also. [9:44] And I'm going to charge you very substantial tariffs, [9:48] which are far more than we're talking about. [9:50] And they all said, we'd love to do it. [9:52] We'd love to do it. [9:53] It would be our great honor to do it. [9:54] I said, nobody else would do this. [9:56] This would have never happened. [9:58] So your drug prices have gone down by numbers not even thinkable. [10:01] My first term, I had the privilege of having lower drug prices [10:05] from the beginning of the year until the end, [10:07] for the first time in 28 years. [10:09] You remember. [10:10] And I called the news conference to announce it. [10:12] So the year it ended, and I was turned out one-eighth of a percent. [10:18] One-eighth of a percent. [10:19] A little tiny, this much. [10:21] It went down that much during one year. [10:24] First time in 28 years it went down. [10:26] It was always like this, just up, more expensive. [10:29] And I called the news conference. [10:32] I was so proud of myself. [10:33] And I said, ladies and gentlemen, the first time in 28 years drug prices have gone down from January until the end of December. [10:43] And I want to just congratulate everybody for being a part of this wonderful experiment. [10:48] And one-eighth of a point now, we're talking about 400, 500, 600 percent coming down. [10:57] We paid the lowest drug prices anywhere in the world from the highest. [11:00] So, you know, and I'll say it again and again because the press doesn't want to report it. [11:04] The fake news doesn't want to report it. [11:05] They don't want to talk about it. [11:07] But what that does for healthcare, Bobby, is unbelievable because medicine is a big part of healthcare. [11:12] So, I wish that people would understand that. [11:15] And I hope they're going to vote for us in the midterms because you'll see some stuff that will be horrible. [11:20] Because they can blow it very fast if they don't know what they're doing. [11:23] So, your drug prices are great. [11:25] You know, I saw Spain yesterday and I watched the catastrophe that took place. [11:31] It looks like an invasion of a country by hundreds of thousands of people. [11:36] And that same thing is going to happen to us if the Republicans don't get elected. [11:41] Except worse. [11:42] Much bigger. [11:43] Much easier to get into. [11:45] Despite the fact that we have built thousands of miles of wall, which I said we were going to do. [11:52] But if we didn't have that, forget it. [11:54] But we have the safest border in the world. [11:56] If we're not in office, our country will be invaded at levels that made Spain, [12:03] look, small town. [12:05] And when I watched it, I said, boy, I said, I'm going to say it because I knew you were going to be at Camp David. [12:11] And they say, that's going to be a talking point for the midterms. [12:15] Because when you look at what happened to Spain, they don't know what to do. [12:19] And it's happening again today. [12:20] They're coming in by the tens of thousands. [12:23] They're just invading the country. [12:26] And what that is is weak law, bad management, but very liberal law. [12:35] They passed a couple of laws. [12:37] And people read. [12:38] You know, people are smart. [12:39] They read from other countries. [12:41] And they swam that three-mile swim or however they got in. [12:45] But nobody has seen anything like it. [12:47] That will look good compared to what's going to happen to the United States. [12:51] The biggest thing, the worst thing that Biden did is allowing 25 million people into our country. [12:57] Because many of those people are criminals. [12:59] They have murderers. [13:00] A lot of murderers. [13:01] 11,888. [13:02] A lot of them are gone now. [13:04] We got them out. [13:05] But they allow people to come into this country that you can't allow to come into a country. [13:11] We're also making an unprecedented investment in the United States Armed Forces, where we're doing great. [13:17] We built the armed forces. [13:20] We built our military in my first term. [13:22] But we are doing great with our military. [13:24] They spent a lot of money in our military. [13:27] They gave away $300 billion worth of ammo and everything else in Biden's term. [13:33] But we're building it up fast. [13:35] And we just have a great military. [13:37] That's all there is. [13:38] But we rebuilt it in my first term. [13:42] And we're using it in my second term with Venezuela and other places and Iran now. [13:48] Iran is doing very poorly. [13:50] Just in case you read incorrect stories, they're doing very, very poorly. [13:53] They're having a hard time. [13:54] They've been very dishonest. [13:57] They've been very dishonorable to deal with. [13:59] But that makes no difference. [14:01] They're doing very, very poorly. [14:03] We're also making that investment and looking forward to getting $1.5 trillion next year. [14:10] People see now how important it is. [14:12] We want to keep a safe country. [14:13] We have to keep a safe country. [14:14] And the good news is all of that equipment is made in the USA. [14:18] So we're making it here. [14:20] It's jobs. [14:21] And each one of our defense groups are building literally at least four new massive plants, [14:29] as we speak, because we want them to do — we want them to move faster. [14:34] We have the best equipment in the world, but we want them to move faster. [14:38] We don't want to wait a year or a year and a half. [14:40] We want to wait a week, maybe. [14:41] So that's happening. [14:42] And I think the results are very good. [14:44] They're all — they're building at levels that nobody's ever seen before. [14:49] And we've had tremendous success. [14:51] And our military was just proud of it. [14:53] Again, Venezuela was a one-day war. [14:58] And we have a great relationship with Venezuela. [15:01] We're working with partners with Venezuela now, taking out tens of millions of barrels [15:06] of oil and going to Houston, going to Alaska, going to Louisiana, going to different places [15:12] for refineries. [15:13] And it's been very much amazing. [15:18] The administration has done more in 18 months than most administrations have done [15:22] in eight years if you had a two-turbo. [15:24] We've done more in 18 months than anyone's ever seen before — nobody's ever seen. [15:29] This is the golden age of America. [15:31] And we have a war that's going on. [15:34] I guess you call it a war. [15:35] Maybe — I call it a military operation. [15:37] They have no — Navy has been obliterated. [15:40] Their Air Force has been obliterated. [15:42] They have no planes. [15:44] Their missiles have been — largely — they have some left. [15:47] They have some, but they have far fewer than they had four or five months ago. [15:52] They — their manufacturing capacity is almost gone. [15:58] The drone capacity is almost gone. [16:01] They're very few. [16:02] But they have some. [16:03] If they have one, that's too many as far as I'm concerned. [16:06] But we've done an amazing job with Venezuela. [16:10] We've done an amazing job here. [16:13] We're in there for five months. [16:14] You know, I know people like to say it because we've done a much bigger job, [16:18] a much more important job than we originally anticipated. [16:21] So we're in there for five months. [16:24] And if you look at Vietnam, they were in there for 20 years. [16:27] You look at Afghanistan, they were in there for many years. [16:30] You look at any one of them — Korea, any one of them — they're in there for many years. [16:34] We're in for five months, and we have obliterated their military capacity. [16:38] Again, we've got some left, but soon they won't have some left. [16:42] So I just want to thank everybody around the state. [16:44] We've been very special. [16:45] I want to thank a lot of the media people because many of you have been very, very fair. [16:50] Very — that's one of the reasons you're here, frankly. [16:53] But you've been very fair. [16:54] You've covered me this time much more fairly, I think, than the first term. [16:59] The first term was a great success. [17:01] We had the greatest economy in history in the first term. [17:04] And this term is going to blow it away. [17:06] I think this term is going to actually blow it away. [17:08] So it's an honor to have you. [17:10] And I'd like to ask our great Vice President, J.D. Vance, to say a few words, [17:16] followed by Marco and Pete and Scott and Bobby Kennedy. [17:21] Okay? [17:22] Thank you very much, everybody. [17:24] Please. [17:25] Well, great. [17:26] Thanks, Mr. President. [17:27] First of all, thanks for having us at this historical and beautiful place. [17:29] And it's an honor to be on the team, an honor to be able to work on fraud, [17:34] which is what I want to talk about today, though I know we have a lot of things going on. [17:37] This has been an amazing team, from Kelly Loeffler at SBA, to Doug at the VA, to Todd and Bobby Kennedy. [17:45] This really has required a whole-of-administration approach to try to tackle fraud. [17:49] There are a few things that I want to talk about and celebrate. [17:52] The first is that just since the beginning of the Fraud Task Force that I started under the President's leadership and direction, [17:58] we have identified $230 billion of fraud that's being perpetrated against the American people. [18:05] And we have halted already $56 billion of that. [18:08] It's sometimes hard. [18:09] Once the money has already gone out the door, it's hard to get it back. [18:12] But stopping it from going out the door is how we save the American people. [18:15] $56 billion. [18:16] And, of course, we're going to keep on working on that. [18:19] Just today, Mr. President, we will announce 17 new anti-fraud actions that will total about a third of a billion dollars. [18:27] And that's added to the $230 billion that we've already uncovered. [18:31] And I want to just talk, for the benefit of the American people, about why do we care so much about this? [18:36] Because what I always try to remind people is that fraud has two victims. [18:40] So, to give one concrete example, there is a program that is administered by Medicaid. [18:46] And that program ensures that low-income moms and low-income babies have access to neonatal care. [18:53] Now, I think most Americans probably share my view that this is one of the great things about the United States of America, [18:58] that if we see a baby and we see a young mother that requires help, we help our fellow Americans. [19:04] That's a good thing. [19:05] It's something that we should be proud of. [19:06] And yet, there is a program that has defrauded the moms and the babies who benefit from these. [19:13] You've gotten people who've gotten rich by setting up false companies that are providing false services. [19:18] So, who loses in that equation? [19:20] Number one, of course, is the American taxpayer that is $230 billion poorer [19:25] because of the fraud that this country has let go on. [19:28] But I actually think most importantly is that we've seen that program run out of money. [19:34] So, we've seen moms and babies unable to access the healthcare that they need because the fraudsters have gotten rich. [19:41] That is a disgrace. [19:43] And until the President ordered us to stop it, no one was doing anything about it. [19:47] So, we've made a lot of progress, Mr. President, in just under a year. [19:51] But we're going to keep on working at it because we believe the American people deserve to have their money spent, [19:56] as you and the Congress have directed it. [19:58] There's big numbers here, finally. Tremendous numbers. [20:00] They look like Elliot Ness. Does everybody know who Elliot is? [20:04] They look like that group of people you have lined up behind you. [20:07] They're doing a great job. [20:08] Billions, think of it. Not millions. Billions of dollars is being billions. [20:16] And you haven't seen anything yet. [20:18] We have things happening that people aren't going to believe. [20:21] The level of corruption and fraud that took place under the Biden administration is unprecedented. [20:26] And Minnesota, California, Maine. Maine, believe it or not. [20:31] You know, you think of Maine as this wonderful place. [20:34] Yep. [20:35] The level of corruption is incredible. [20:37] All over. All over. [20:38] So, great job. Thank you very much. [20:40] Thanks, sir. [20:42] Well, it's my turn. [20:43] Well, first of all, thank you for bringing us out here. [20:45] I got the chance to drive for the first time in a year and a half. [20:49] It's a golf park. [20:53] It was great. [20:54] It's true. [20:55] So, just a couple of points that we all know. [20:59] We've followed the news, obviously, the events in the Middle East and others. [21:02] We've talked about that. [21:03] Not that they're not important. [21:04] But there's some other issues happening around the world, Mr. President, that you've shown [21:07] great leadership in that I've not gotten nearly as much attention. [21:09] I think they deserve to mention today. [21:11] The first is the International Criminal Court is an illegitimate international organization [21:16] that, frankly, illegitimate. [21:17] They've made themselves illegitimate because they claim that even if you're not a member of [21:20] that court, they can come after you. [21:22] What that literally means in the future is that America, political leaders, and others [21:26] could find themselves under indictment by this International Criminal Court. [21:31] If you want to know a little bit about it, Jack Smith seems to work there. [21:34] These are the people that think they can go out and basically indict any world leader [21:37] and haul them into the hay. [21:39] So, we've begun to try to get them to reform and listen to us. [21:42] They wouldn't do it. [21:43] They're very arrogant. [21:44] We've now begun an effort to really try to bring that court to heel. [21:47] Where there's no information that they're after me. [21:50] You could have. [21:51] Just so you know. [21:54] She's talking about it. [21:55] He's not trying to defend me. [21:58] He is trying to defend Bibi and various other people. [22:01] But there are many people that shouldn't be looked at that way. [22:04] But there is no indication that I'm one of them at this moment. [22:11] No. [22:12] And I actually think the people who are in biggest danger in our system are servicemen. [22:15] People in the United States. [22:16] They'll try to go out for the rest of their lives. [22:18] They'll not be able to travel anywhere in the world with their families [22:20] because they could be arrested on one of these. [22:22] Imagine if you're a soldier. [22:23] You fought in a war and 20 years later they try to come grab you. [22:26] So this is a big problem. [22:27] So we've had dozens of countries already join us in separate. [22:30] Since we started two weeks ago, five countries have already quit the ICC [22:33] and notified them that they're leaving. [22:35] And we think there'll be more. [22:37] The only thing is we had an unprecedented ministerial. [22:39] Sixty countries came to Washington and were a part of an effort [22:42] where we were shedding light on far-left terrorism and violence. [22:46] You know, the bomb goes off somewhere and it's tied to some right-wing group. [22:49] I don't consider neo-Natsis right-wing. [22:51] I consider neo-Natsis right-wing, right? [22:53] But you're going to get a lot of attention on that. [22:55] But if it's a leftist group, an antifa group, they get some coverage [22:59] and they ignore the ideological spin and the ideological reasons behind it. [23:03] So we've got 60 countries came up here and hopefully creating a strong [23:06] to go after far-left violent terrorism. [23:10] Go after it, call it by name. [23:12] I think we're building a very strong coalition there. [23:14] We've had some set successes in the Middle East, Mr. President. [23:17] As you know, in the diplomatic front, the deal with Lebanon and Israel is unprecedented. [23:22] President Ayoun was here a week ago. [23:24] I think that was the first visit by a Lebanese president in over 30-some hours. [23:27] In fact, this is the first time the Israelis and the Lebanese government have spoken [23:30] at the official level in close to 30 years. [23:33] And that was your leader. [23:34] A lot of work to be done to keep that peace and building, but it's a real achievable. [23:37] And, of course, as you announced last night, Mr. President, [23:40] this disarmament deal that you brought about with Steve and Jared's work on Hamas [23:44] is another big step as well. [23:46] It's something a lot of people thought would never happen. [23:48] It needs to happen, but the fact that even agreed to it is a real achievable. [23:52] Last point is on the Western Hemisphere. [23:55] For the first time in 15, 20 years, the overwhelming majority of the countries [24:00] in the Western Hemisphere are now led by pro-American leaders and pro-American governments. [24:05] It's an extraordinary achievement. [24:06] All of it happening through a success. [24:08] Virtually every election that's happening has elected. [24:13] I think this is an incredible situation. [24:17] And last but not least, and I have to thank a number of agencies here, [24:20] particularly the Department of War, after that terrible earthquake in Venezuela. [24:24] Within 36 hours, the full force of the American government was on the ground, [24:29] providing humanitarian assistance. [24:31] It was a sight to behold. [24:32] The USS Ford, I think, was in their port. [24:34] Our Marines and Armed Service personnel were helping run their airport and their tower. [24:39] It is one of the fastest, most dramatic, and most effective humanitarian responses, [24:44] certainly in recent history, if not ever. [24:47] And they came at the direction of the President. [24:49] In fact, within an hour of that earthquake hitting, I remember because I was overseas, [24:52] the President called and said, make sure we go in there and help these people recover from this. [24:57] And we did. [24:58] And thanks to your leadership, Mr. President. [24:59] It's a great story. [25:00] Enough needs to be told about it because the credit goes to so many agencies represented here today, [25:06] but really the Department of War is phenomenal. [25:09] So, thank you. [25:11] Thank you very much, Marco. [25:12] And just before we continue, I want to just congratulate Jake Leighton. [25:16] He's with us today. [25:17] He's had a big, big dream. [25:19] He's going to do a fantastic job. [25:21] He's only done, his whole life has been about doing a fantastic job. [25:26] Congratulations. [25:28] Well, thank you, Mr. President, for the invitation, the opportunity to be here. [25:38] It's an honor for the Board Department to help run this facility also, [25:42] from the Food and Defense line. [25:44] It's an honor to have you. [25:45] And it's great Americans here and all around the country and all at the core of what keep us safe. [25:54] But in order to do that, you have to have a leader that's willing to put him in a position. [25:58] And that's my takeaway, Mr. President, is sort of three points. [26:04] One, it takes courage. [26:05] Two, it takes restoring a spirit, which you have done. [26:08] And third, it takes investment. [26:09] And not just an investment, but a generational investment. [26:12] And I think people miss that. [26:13] The courage it takes to seal the border. [26:16] To say, we're going to do it every single day. [26:18] And we're going to do it about how we make American people. [26:21] The courage to bomb the Houthis and say, we will maintain freedom of navigation. [26:25] I wonder why they're not involved in this conflict, the Houthis. [26:28] They're a proxy of Iran. [26:29] Because they felt the weight of American power for 45 days. [26:32] And who had the courage to do that? [26:35] Courage to do midnight hammering in the 12-day war by obliterating their nuclear sites. [26:39] Something no one, other presidents had the option on their table to do. [26:43] But they never pulled the trigger. [26:44] Because of the complications. [26:45] Because of the challenges. [26:46] Because of the risk. [26:47] Courage. [26:48] Courage to take on cartels. [26:51] And drugs. [26:52] Drug votes. [26:53] And now forming the ACCC, the America's Counter Cartel Coalition. [26:56] With all those friendly governments that Marco talked about. [26:59] Who want to be shoulder to shoulder. [27:01] Not just with America. [27:02] But with a bold, strong America. [27:04] With clear leadership. [27:05] The courage to go get Maduro in the most dangerous, most heavily guarded house. [27:11] Inside the most heavily guarded fort. [27:13] Inside the most heavily guarded town in their capital city in the middle of the night. [27:16] And change the entire dynamic of that country and that region. [27:20] And the world saw what the American military was capable to do. [27:23] But that doesn't happen unless the commander in chief says, you're authorized to do it. [27:27] And to take the handcuffs off when you do it. [27:30] To ensure that Americans come home. [27:32] The courage to undertake Epic Fury. [27:35] And this Iranian regime. [27:36] And ensure they never have a nuclear weapon. [27:39] Which remains your commitment. [27:40] And frankly, the courage to negotiate. [27:42] With people that have shown no willingness to do so honestly. [27:45] With incredible negotiators. [27:47] Who are the best in the world. [27:48] And give them every opportunity to do it. [27:50] Give those things up peacefully. [27:51] All of that takes guts. [27:53] But that comes on the back to the change in the spirit of our department. [27:57] You talk about spirit all the time. [27:58] And your right to do so. [28:00] When you rip out DDI. [28:02] When you rip out social engineering and social justice. [28:05] And you put in merit. [28:06] And then you untie the hands of commanders. [28:08] To be commanders. [28:09] To enforce discipline and accountability. [28:12] To get back to basics. [28:13] Then you get historic re-enlistment inside our ranks. [28:16] Our best people as president are staying. [28:18] Because they want to be in that kind of department. [28:20] And then the historic recruitment record. [28:23] Amongst young Americans. [28:24] Every month. [28:25] Our department breaks records. [28:28] And when did that trend line start? [28:30] On election day. [28:31] 2024. [28:32] When the American people said. [28:33] I want to serve under this president. [28:35] And that new name. [28:36] The department of war. [28:37] Has become the ethos. [28:38] The warrior ethos of our department. [28:40] Again. [28:41] Spirit. [28:42] And I will know. [28:43] The flyovers will indeed continue. [28:45] And take around. [28:46] But that's also spirit. [28:49] Parades. [28:50] 250. [28:51] Flyovers. [28:52] The American people seeing. [28:53] And feeling their military. [28:55] In ways they have not in the past. [28:56] That's spirit. [28:57] And then finally. [28:58] Mr. President. [28:59] A generational investment. [29:00] You rebuilt the military in your first term. [29:02] And you've spent in your first year. [29:04] $1 trillion. [29:05] And now we are committed. [29:06] In working with Congress. [29:07] To get $1.5 trillion. [29:09] But this is not. [29:10] The same way. [29:11] We funded our department. [29:12] In the past. [29:13] This is a businessman in charge. [29:14] This is a deputy secretary. [29:15] Of our department. [29:16] Who's a turnaround guy. [29:17] Just like the president is. [29:19] Saying. [29:20] We will not fund money. [29:21] We will not fund the apartment. [29:22] The way we have in the past. [29:23] In fact. [29:24] So far. [29:25] $75 billion. [29:26] In private investment. [29:27] From defense companies. [29:29] Who are now. [29:30] Investing in new plants. [29:31] New equipment. [29:32] New assembly lines. [29:33] Build the munitions. [29:34] Of the future. [29:35] Faster than ever possible. [29:36] That's saving taxpayer dollars. [29:38] Because the companies themselves. [29:40] Are investing. [29:41] That would never. [29:42] The arsenal of freedom. [29:43] Would never happen. [29:44] Without you. [29:45] So. [29:46] Just like. [29:47] You know. [29:48] We use a lot of things. [29:49] Ronald Reagan's build up. [29:50] Was a part of. [29:51] In this administration. [29:52] And in future administration. [29:53] They will look back. [29:54] At Donald Trump. [29:55] And the build up. [29:56] That he has done. [29:57] And that will be. [29:58] The deterrence of the future. [29:59] Will be established. [30:00] Because of your investment. [30:01] So thank you Mr. President. [30:04] The first place. [30:05] Is we celebrate. [30:08] Our nation's. [30:09] 250th anniversary. [30:10] And I think. [30:11] If we look back. [30:12] If. [30:13] Whether. [30:14] If. [30:15] Our founders. [30:16] Of. [30:20] President Washington. [30:21] Could not have imagined. [30:22] The economy. [30:23] That we would have created. [30:24] It is the envy. [30:25] Of the world. [30:26] And as you said. [30:27] We have record investment. [30:28] Coming in. [30:29] We've never seen. [30:30] Anything like it. [30:31] And we're pulling away. [30:32] From the rest of the world. [30:33] Because of. [30:34] Your leadership. [30:35] The policies. [30:36] That you get. [30:37] From day one. [30:38] In terms of. [30:39] Digital assets. [30:40] In terms of. [30:41] Technology. [30:42] And bringing back. [30:43] American manufacturing. [30:44] It is. [30:45] You've done it again. [30:46] You had. [30:47] The. [30:48] Incredible economy. [30:49] During your first term. [30:50] And. [30:51] We are seeing. [30:52] That carry over here. [30:53] And it is. [30:54] In stark contrast. [30:55] To the. [30:56] Biden economy. [30:57] Which was. [30:58] Government jobs. [31:00] Government spending. [31:01] And. [31:02] High inflation. [31:03] The worst inflation. [31:04] In 50 years. [31:05] And. [31:06] The. [31:07] With the working families. [31:09] Tax budget. [31:10] Which I will add. [31:11] Every democrat. [31:12] Voted against. [31:13] Every democrat. [31:14] Voted against. [31:15] The. [31:16] It is. [31:17] The perfect barbell. [31:18] For this economy. [31:19] On one side. [31:20] You have. [31:21] Full expensing. [31:22] For. [31:23] Factories. [31:24] For. [31:25] Equipment. [31:26] For farm structures. [31:27] On the other side. [31:28] Your. [31:29] Four signature policies. [31:30] Promises made. [31:31] Promises kept. [31:32] No tax and tips. [31:33] No tax and overtime. [31:34] No tax and social security. [31:36] Deductibility. [31:37] Of auto loans. [31:38] If you buy an American made car. [31:40] And. [31:41] The. [31:42] Americans are starting. [31:43] Starting to feel. [31:44] Core inflation is low. [31:46] Consumer confidence is strong. [31:48] We have the highest consumer confidence. [31:50] Came up today. [31:51] The. [31:52] In five months. [31:53] And. [31:54] Uh. [31:55] Main street is back. [31:56] Small. [31:57] Small banks are lending. [31:58] Thanks to your policies. [31:59] Small banks. [32:00] Community banks. [32:01] Are lending again. [32:02] And. [32:04] Uh. [32:05] The Americans. [32:06] As you said. [32:07] These. [32:08] Trump accounts. [32:09] Are the most successful. [32:10] Program launch. [32:11] In government history. [32:12] We've had. [32:13] Seven million families. [32:14] Sign up for them. [32:15] We're going to. [32:16] Get to open enrollment. [32:18] And we will have. [32:19] Seventy. [32:20] American families. [32:21] Who have signed up for this. [32:22] Thirty eight percent. [32:23] Of American families. [32:24] Households. [32:25] Have no exposure. [32:26] To our great. [32:27] Equity market. [32:28] And. [32:29] Thanks to you. [32:30] We're going to have. [32:31] An ownership society. [32:32] An ownership society. [32:33] You are one of the first presidents. [32:35] of the American people. [32:36] Not more debt. [32:38] We had the biggest. [32:39] Tax refund. [32:40] Season ever. [32:41] Uh. [32:42] Trade deals. [32:43] Tax cuts. [32:44] Energy dominance. [32:45] And. [32:46] Direct. [32:47] Irregulatory efforts. [32:48] America. [32:49] Is ushering in. [32:50] The greatest. [32:51] Reshoring way. [32:52] In our history. [32:53] In June. [32:54] Our manufacturing sector. [32:55] Expanded. [32:56] For the sixth straight month. [32:57] We've got. [32:58] Construction jobs. [32:59] And there's. [33:00] Going to weave. [33:01] Into manufacturing jobs. [33:02] We've got. [33:03] Main street. [33:04] Real wages. [33:05] Are up. [33:06] A thousand dollars. [33:07] And sir. [33:08] What you've done again too. [33:09] Is. [33:10] The bottom. [33:11] Twenty-five percent. [33:12] Of wage earners. [33:13] Just like in your. [33:14] First term. [33:15] Are outperforming. [33:16] The top. [33:17] Twenty-five percent. [33:18] This is. [33:19] A working. [33:20] Families administration. [33:21] That. [33:22] Last. [33:23] In the past year. [33:25] That group. [33:26] Had. [33:27] Had. [33:28] Real wage. [33:29] Or had wage. [33:30] Increases. [33:32] Five point. [33:33] Five percent. [33:34] Three times. [33:35] That. [33:36] Has done. [33:37] So. [33:38] You've. [33:39] Done it again. [33:40] And. [33:41] These are. [33:42] Private sector. [33:43] Jobs. [33:44] We are creating. [33:45] As you often say. [33:46] In these meetings. [33:47] We could have created. [33:49] A million. [33:50] Two million. [33:51] Government. [33:52] Jobs. [33:53] But we didn't. [33:54] A million. [33:55] So. [33:56] And then. [33:57] Our energy dominance. [33:58] Thanks to you. [33:59] And these policies. [34:00] You can come to the U.S. [34:01] You're going to bring it towards certainty. [34:02] Tax certainty. [34:03] And energy certainty. [34:04] So it is the best place in the world. [34:05] To build your factory. [34:07] And finally. [34:08] I want to add. [34:09] To be a part. [34:10] To be a part. [34:11] Or a privilege. [34:12] To be a part of. [34:13] As we've gone from. [34:14] Peptic fury. [34:15] To economic fury. [34:16] To constrict. [34:17] On your orders. [34:18] Constrict the Iranian regimes. [34:20] The financial tentacles. [34:22] All around the world. [34:23] We started it. [34:24] And. [34:25] On your orders. [34:26] We started in March. [34:27] 2025. [34:28] In December of 2025. [34:30] The largest bank in Iran. [34:31] Collapsed. [34:32] The central bank had to print money. [34:34] Cost inflation. [34:35] Now they got 180% inflation. [34:37] They aren't able to pay their troops. [34:39] And on your orders. [34:40] We are searching for their assets. [34:42] All around the world. [34:43] And that money will go to. [34:44] The Iranian people. [34:45] Americans who have been harmed. [34:47] By. [34:48] The Iranians. [34:49] Whether the U.S. has told. [34:51] The. [34:52] Or the barracks of Lebanon. [34:53] They have. [34:55] Or. [34:56] It will go. [34:57] Back to. [34:58] When the Iranians. [34:59] Actually ships. [35:00] Coming out. [35:01] So. [35:02] It's been a privilege. [35:03] To be part of that. [35:04] And. [35:05] For. [35:06] Thank you. [35:08] Let's just add that. [35:09] Today. [35:10] There are more people. [35:12] Working. [35:13] Than at any time. [35:14] In the history of our country. [35:15] We have more people. [35:16] Working today. [35:17] Then. [35:18] Think of that number. [35:19] More people working today. [35:20] By far. [35:21] Than at any time. [35:22] In the history of our country. [35:23] So it's been. [35:25] Something special. [35:30] Let me just take a moment. [35:31] To. [35:32] Take note of the. [35:33] The historical. [35:34] Significence of this. [35:37] Before the press came in. [35:38] You asked all the. [35:39] Cabinet members. [35:40] Who had meant to come David. [35:41] Before. [35:42] I think about three quarters of the math. [35:44] I raised my hand, but I haven't been here for 62 years. [35:48] I came here on weekends, as many weekends as we could, between 1961 and 1963. [35:57] My father loved this place. [35:58] My uncle loved this place. [36:01] He was, nobody knows about this, because I'm the history book, but he was resentful of F.Y. Eisenhower for renaming it Camp David. [36:08] If he had not made it to his second term, he was going to rename it Chamberlain, which was the original name that Roosevelt had. [36:19] My uncle prided himself on being the most open, transparent administration in history. [36:25] He was the first president at press conferences. [36:29] In his thousand days in office, he had about 30 press conferences. [36:33] You, Mr. President, had press conferences every day. [36:36] And here you've opened the inner sanctum of the presidency for the first time in history, and I think that's a beautiful thing. [36:47] As you also face, although you gave these guys a lot of compliments, the most hostile press corps that any president in the United States had, history, uniformly. [36:57] Anyway, I'm going to talk just briefly about a subject you alluded to, which is the MFN, and so everybody has a background. [37:12] You were here to every president, promises to fix that disparity between what we pay and what the other developed countries pay. [37:19] When you came into office, the list price was $1,350 for Americans. [37:26] You could get it at any pharmacy in London, Hamburg, Frankfurt for $88. [37:32] And this, every president, President Bush, President Biden, President Clinton, as Obama, have all promised fixes, none of you did everything. [37:41] You fixed it. [37:42] But today, by the time you leave office, assuming that's in 2028, 95% of the drugs that are available to Americans, they will be paying the lowest prices in the world. [38:04] Trump Rx, just in the short time that we've put it up, has saved Americans $700 million. [38:11] We now have 800 drugs on there. [38:14] We have deals with Amazon and the good Rx. [38:17] We're adding more and more drugs every day. [38:19] And I'll just give you one example. [38:22] Preluent is a very popular cholesterol drug. [38:26] Its list price is $520. [38:29] That's what everybody is paying. [38:31] We now have it on Trump Rx for $237. [38:34] That means that the 300,000 Americans who take that drug will be saving $3,700 a year on pharmaceuticals every year. [38:47] And you can apply that across the board. [38:50] This is going to change. [38:51] It's making pharmaceuticals affordable, the most affordable in this country of any country. [38:57] Thank you, Mr. President. [39:00] How are you doing on the autism research? [39:03] We will have an answer. [39:04] It's such an important thing. [39:05] There's a picture of your uncle right there on the wall. [39:07] He's looking handsome. [39:10] And that's quite a picture. [39:12] Did you see it? [39:12] Yeah. [39:13] I can't beat the idea. [39:15] It's quite a picture. [39:18] Any questions? [39:19] Mr. President. [39:20] Mr. President. [39:20] Go ahead. [39:21] We've seen these strikes between Iran and the United States. [39:24] How do you imagine the ceasefire? [39:29] Well, I think we just want to win. [39:31] We just want to win. [39:32] We're doing very well. [39:32] We're trying to be nice, as nice as you can be in a situation like that. [39:38] But, you know, they're being decimated. [39:42] They have no Navy. [39:43] They have no airports. [39:44] They have no anti-aircraft. [39:47] Doesn't mean they don't have any capability. [39:49] They have some, but very little. [39:51] We just want to win. [39:53] We don't want to have them. [39:54] It's very simple. [39:56] They cannot have a nuclear weapon. [39:59] Iran will not have a nuclear weapon, and they can't have a nuclear weapon. [40:02] If they did, the Middle East would have been wiped out by now. [40:06] If I didn't stop the JCPOA, the Obama deal, if I didn't do that, they would have had a nuclear weapon. [40:13] I believe Israel will no longer be with us, and big parts of the Middle East, and perhaps other. [40:18] These people are crazy. [40:23] So they can have a nuclear weapon, and they won't. [40:26] Mr. President. [40:27] Mr. President, on the disarmament deal that you announced, do you have assurances from Israel that they are on board with this deal? [40:43] And what comes first? [40:45] Does Israel pull back and then Hamas disarms, or does Hamas need to disarm and then Israel leaves Gaza? [40:50] Mr. President, I do have an understanding with it. [40:57] They're very good. [40:57] They've been very good about it. [40:58] Most people said that would be a deal that would be undoable. [41:01] Now, will it go through its ups and downs? [41:04] It's a very complex situation over there. [41:06] The people are very complex and difficult. [41:10] In many cases, one part of the case is not so wonderful. [41:14] But that will be a great breakthrough. [41:17] Nobody's ever thought that would be possible to disarm Hamas. [41:21] That shows you how much success we're having with the rent. [41:26] Because if you go four months ago or five months ago, a deal like that would have been impossible. [41:31] So it's a big step for the Middle East, and people are really impressed by it, and they're surprised by it. [41:35] And what comes first, Mr. President? [41:37] What comes first? [41:38] Did FIFA or Mr. Infantino speak to you about their proposal to sell a steak in the World Cup? [41:41] And is that something you support? [41:43] About who? [41:44] Did FIFA or Mr. Infantino speak to you about their proposal to sell a steak? [41:48] No, I never thought so. [41:49] Mr. President, you said this morning on True Social that victims of government abuse should be paid back. [41:56] Even if it's not the anti-weaponization fund, would you still want the acting attorney general to find a new way to do that? [42:03] Weaponization against large numbers of people in our country by the Biden administration and by Obama, [42:10] but by the Biden administration in particular in this case. [42:13] But large numbers of people, their lives have been ruined. [42:16] They've been destroyed. [42:17] Families have been, you know, assassinated. [42:21] They've gone to prison for no reason whatsoever. [42:24] There's never been a group of people, most likely, I mean, I can think of a couple that were treated pretty badly, groups. [42:30] But there's essentially never been a group of people treated so badly as these people. [42:34] And this fund, this fund was not for me. [42:36] This fund was for those people that have been weaponized, that have been abused. [42:42] Now, I was abused. [42:42] They attacked my house, Mar-a-Lago, where I live. [42:45] And, you know, big damages should have been given to me. [42:49] I don't want anything. [42:51] I'm not talking about myself. [42:52] So, I think that there's a group of people in this country, history will show, that were treated like nobody else has ever been treated so badly, so horribly. [43:05] Their families have been ruined. [43:07] Many, many suicides. [43:08] They've committed suicide. [43:09] People that were very successful, that wanted to go to a rally or an event, and ended up spending the rest of their lives in horror. [43:21] You know, so, I mean, you can say what you want about the fund, and they would agree to not have a fund. [43:28] But there are a lot of people that are very upset about it. [43:30] A lot of Republican people, a lot of Democrat people are very upset about it. [43:34] A lot of people were covered. [43:35] I wasn't covered by that fund. [43:36] I don't want to be covered by the fund. [43:37] I probably was abused more than anybody in the history of our country. [43:41] But I wasn't looking for that. [43:43] But there were a lot of people. [43:44] And I'll tell you something. [43:45] Todd Blanche is a very, very good man. [43:49] And he shouldn't be in the middle of this. [43:51] He should get approved, because you will never get anybody like him. [43:55] You're never going to get anybody. [43:56] And to make him a pawn in this whole thing, this is being done by a senator. [44:00] I don't really blame him, to be honest with you. [44:02] I endorsed his opponent. [44:04] And as soon as I endorsed his opponent, his opponent went through the roof, [44:07] but he won the primary election in Texas. [44:11] It was settled. [44:12] And the man that lost, the man that I didn't endorse, has become very angry. [44:18] And that's okay. [44:19] I mean, I understand that. [44:20] I probably would do the same thing. [44:22] To wonder the truth, I think I'd do the same thing. [44:23] Mr. President, on that, though, do you agree, just to be clear, [44:26] do you agree with the acting attorney general that the Anti-Weaponization Fund is dead? [44:30] And why not just put that in writing? [44:31] The President is dead. [44:32] But, you know, I wish it weren't, to be honest with you. [44:35] I think people were horribly treated, horribly abused. [44:38] This has nothing to do with that. [44:40] This was me. [44:41] Horribly abused. [44:43] And I'd like to see them compensated for the pain. [44:46] They lost their families. [44:48] They committed suicide. [44:49] Many people committed suicide. [44:51] They went down for an innocent journey. [44:54] And I'm not only talking there. [44:55] I'm talking about not even having to do with that. [44:58] The way they were treated, the Biden administration and the Obama administration weaponized government [45:05] and destroyed lives. [45:07] But should they put it in writing? [45:08] Do you want to find him willing to accept limits on the scope of the audit immunity deal [45:12] in order to get Attorney General Blanche confirmed? [45:14] Well, no, he should be approved forthwith. [45:16] I mean, you're never going to get a person like that. [45:19] Everybody agrees to it. [45:20] Don't forget, Senator Cornyn thought he was phenomenal until he lost. [45:24] You know, when he lost, is that a correct statement? [45:28] Senator Cornyn thought he was the most incredible person. [45:32] Then when he lost, then he lost because of me. [45:34] I endorsed somebody else. [45:36] I mean, as soon as I endorsed the other person, the other person became a rocket ship upward. [45:40] And he lost. [45:41] And, you know, I think I'd be the same. [45:45] But would you accept what I did that mean? [45:46] I mean, I shouldn't say that. [45:47] I'd be upset also. [45:50] And so I fully understand it. [45:53] He shouldn't be that way. [45:54] I shouldn't be that way. [45:55] But he is that way. [45:56] He's become a very angry person. [45:58] And I understand you have a couple of others that have caused their defeat, too. [46:01] And, you know, you'll probably hear from them, too. [46:03] Yeah. [46:04] The Pressure President, is that there a point of a proposal from the military to go big and hit them hard over 10 or 14 days? [46:11] Well, we're going big. [46:12] Are you going to consider... [46:12] We've already gone big. [46:13] Look, I mean, what's big? [46:15] They had 159 ships. [46:17] That was their entire Navy, 159. [46:20] Their entire Navy is laying at the bottom of the sea. [46:22] I'd say that's going big. [46:24] They had 200 airplanes. [46:25] They're all gone. [46:26] Everyone had been on one airplane. [46:28] They had anti-aircraft weaponry. [46:30] They're very good, but it didn't work. [46:32] And it's all gone. [46:34] Their radar is all gone. [46:35] Their leaders are all gone. [46:37] Everything's all gone. [46:39] But they'll fight onward. [46:40] Mr. President, on Ukraine, you said the other day that you're not sure about whether to grant Ukraine the Patriot missile license that had been discussed. [46:48] Do you want to see more from Zelensky before you take that action? [46:52] Well, it's a big step. [46:53] Look, we have the greatest weapons in the world. [46:56] We have the greatest drones in the world. [46:58] People don't know that. [46:59] We have the greatest weaponry in the world. [47:01] We have, in the case of President Zelensky, he'd like to have some Patriots. [47:06] He'd like to have some Tomahawks, which is, you know, lethal. [47:09] One offensive, one defensive. [47:11] But if you give somebody the rules were shot, they were going 8,600 miles an hour. [47:24] I think 8,600. [47:26] Now, a car, if you go 60, it gets to be a little faster. [47:30] If you go 100, 8,600 miles an hour, and they were big missiles, and they were shot at Jordan. [47:37] And our guys were there. [47:39] Bing, bing, bing, bing, bing, bing. [47:42] Five. [47:42] Big, bing, bing, bing, bing. [47:43] I don't want to invite you. [47:46] I want to be very happy. [47:49] That would have been a great sound bite. [47:52] Five missiles, and we shot all five there before they got close. [47:56] Nobody else has that capacity. [47:58] These weapons are incredible. [48:00] And we have to be very careful about letting somebody build them. [48:05] You know, it's very important now. [48:07] We are building many plants now to make those. [48:11] And the Tomahawk whistle is, nobody's ever seen anything like it. [48:20] You have to be very judicious, but you have to be very careful. [48:25] Now, we have not agreed to that. [48:28] We're talking about it. [48:29] But it's a hard thing to give away that kind of technology. [48:33] And I don't think this would ever happen. [48:35] If you give that technology, they can someday turn on you. [48:39] You know, that is possible. [48:41] You look at war. [48:42] It's happened a couple of times over the years, right? [48:44] So we have to be very careful. [48:46] I mean, we guard that. [48:47] We have the greatest military in the world, [48:50] but we have the greatest weapons in the world. [48:51] Now we have to make them a little bit faster [48:53] because we've given a lot away. [48:55] You know, President Biden, unfortunately, gave away. [49:02] So did I. [49:03] I mean, I gave them the javelins and the tank busters. [49:06] Without the javelins, that war would have been a one-day war. [49:09] It would have been over. [49:10] They wiped out the tanks going up to Kiev [49:12] when they got stuck in the mud. [49:23] Javelins. [49:23] The javelins are unbelievable weapons in the world. [49:26] So we have to be very careful [49:28] about giving out the secrets to those weapons. [49:31] And they're not — you can't copy them. [49:35] It's a little like NVIDIA. [49:38] They have a chip. [49:39] They say you cannot copy it. [49:41] The complexity is so great you cannot. [49:43] You know, most things you copy. [49:45] China is known for it. [49:46] Other countries say we do something. [49:48] And I guess we copy also. [49:50] Most things you can copy pretty easily. [49:53] There's a chip that they made their ultimate chip, [49:56] and they always have the ultimate chip. [49:58] And I say, well, why doesn't somebody copy it? [50:01] Because they can't, the complexity. [50:03] They can't copy our weapons. [50:05] We have the greatest weapons in the world. [50:06] Many of them. [50:07] Those are just two or three that I mentioned. [50:09] But you cannot copy them. [50:12] So we have to be very careful. [50:13] Mr. President, on Iran. [50:14] As Hamas disarms as part of this plan, [50:16] who do you see as taking possession of those weapons that they have? [50:19] Does that go to the new government? [50:21] It's going to be the Board of Peace, mostly. [50:23] It's going to be run by the Board of — [50:24] This Board of Peace has been an amazing — [50:26] it's led by some amazing people. [50:28] The Board of Peace. [50:29] On Iran, Mr. President, [50:30] you said they do have some capabilities left. [50:33] Should Americans be prepared for these back-and-forth attacks [50:35] to continue until Iran simply isn't able of striking back? [50:39] They'll get weaker. [50:39] They'll get a little stronger maybe now. [50:42] But they'll get weaker. [50:43] And then they peter out. [50:45] Yeah, sure. [50:46] I think so. [50:47] I mean, it would be foolish to say no. [50:49] You know, you always have to keep your guard up. [50:50] What is the status of talks? [50:52] Who from the administration is talking to the Iranians? [50:54] They break their words so often. [50:56] Steve is talking. [50:57] Jared, we have very good people. [50:59] JD's involved, very strongly involved. [51:02] We have great people talking. [51:04] Marco's involved. [51:05] Because they say talks aren't happening. [51:06] We're good people. [51:07] We're the best people. [51:08] But they'll make a deal. [51:10] As an example, we'll talk about nuclear. [51:13] And we'll be in there talking about nuclear for seven hours. [51:15] I say, why do you need seven? [51:17] You can take ten minutes. [51:18] You have five minutes to appreciate this album. [51:21] But seven hours. [51:22] And then they'll go out. [51:23] And I'll say, they discussed nuclear. [51:26] And they'll go out and they'll say, we never discussed nuclear. [51:29] And I'll say, why did they say that? [51:31] All they do is make me angry. [51:33] You know? [51:33] They just make me angry. [51:35] Any other questions? [51:36] Do you still believe that you can reach a deal with Iran, [51:39] given that you talked about how disloyal they are? [51:41] I'm losing faith in them because they do lie and they do misrepresent. [51:49] Well, the other day, the five missiles were shot. [51:51] We knocked them down. [51:52] But we were in the midst of a negotiation. [51:54] I mean, I'm waiting for Steve to call. [51:55] How's the negotiation going? [51:58] And instead, I got a call from Pete that they just shot five missiles at one of our bases in Jordan. [52:05] And we have bases in Jordan. [52:06] Fortunately, our people operated the equipment. [52:09] It's also very complex to operate. [52:11] You didn't talk about the equipment. [52:13] It's very, you have to be, oftentimes you see, [52:16] when did you go to school? [52:17] MIT, Caltech. [52:19] I mean, you know, they go to schools that are not as normal for the military, [52:23] to be honest with you. [52:24] We have unbelievably brilliant people operating that equipment. [52:28] And when you don't, you know, the equipment shots miss, [52:32] the safety misses or the accuracy misses. [52:35] We have unbelievable people. [52:37] Think of it. [52:37] We had 111, at one point, a couple of months ago, [52:41] 111, over a short period of time, missiles were shot at the Abraham Lincoln Aircraft Barrier. [52:48] Great, beautiful ship. [52:49] One of the most beautiful ships to me, design works. [52:52] 111 missiles going out. [52:55] Out of the 111 missiles, [52:57] 111 missiles were shot down quite a bit earlier than they got, [53:04] I mean, long before they got there. [53:06] They were shot down. [53:07] It was almost, in a couple of cases, [53:09] they were shot down almost as they were taking off. [53:12] It's incredible technology. [53:14] So you have a ship that costs billions of dollars, [53:16] and you have missiles heading to it. [53:20] 111 missiles were shot down, routinely shot down. [53:26] And I spoke to the people. [53:28] I like to reward people. [53:29] I'll call them up on the president. [53:31] And they were cool as a cucumber. [53:35] Mr. President, the last three of the strikes by CENTCOM, [53:38] CENTCOM has said that those were meant to degrade Iran's ability [53:41] to disrupt the Strait of Hornets. [53:43] How many more strikes will it take to significantly... [53:45] Well, you never know. [53:46] Look, I mean, most people would have given up on them. [53:48] You know, they've got no Navy. [53:50] They've got no Air Force. [53:51] Most people would have given up. [53:52] They haven't. [53:52] So I give them credit for that. [53:54] I mean, they're known as being tough. [53:55] They're tough. [53:56] Back on Ukraine, [53:58] you told President's Wednesday about the Patriots. [54:00] Did you explain all that to them? [54:02] I did. [54:02] I spoke to them about Patriots. [54:04] I spoke to them about Tomahawks. [54:05] I spoke to them about everything. [54:06] I also spoke to them about, [54:07] let's get this war over it. [54:09] So last month, they had 25,000 people. [54:11] It's averaging about 25,000 people a month died. [54:15] Mostly soldiers. [54:15] Almost entirely. [54:17] But, you know, missiles are hitting areas also. [54:19] But mostly soldiers. [54:21] They had 25,000 soldiers. [54:23] The month before that, it was 32,000 soldiers. [54:26] I said, you've got to get this war over it. [54:29] I think he wants to make a deal, [54:30] and I think Putin wants to make a deal. [54:32] But there's a lot of dislike, as you probably noticed. [54:35] He seems very reluctant to make concessions, [54:37] President Putin. [54:38] Well, nobody wants to make concessions, [54:40] but they're both going to have to make some concessions. [54:43] I mean, they've got to make a deal. [54:45] Twenty-five thousand young, beautiful people. [54:49] Soldiers. [54:50] Mostly soldiers. [54:51] They're dying a month. [54:53] It's... [54:53] I ended eight wars. [54:56] That was the war I thought would maybe go first. [54:58] And it really hasn't. [55:00] It's gone last. [55:00] I mean, I ended wars that were, [55:02] in theory, much more difficult to end. [55:04] We had a couple that were [55:06] into the 30-year category. [55:09] Well, the Congo. [55:10] Look at the Congo in Rwanda. [55:12] That was our nasty war. [55:13] And peace. [55:16] I don't know how long that was going to stay. [55:18] But we ended in India and Pakistan. [55:21] Eleven planes were shot down. [55:22] That was raging. [55:23] That was good. [55:23] I used terror. [55:25] I said, if you're going to go to war, [55:27] 250 percent terror to each of them. [55:31] And they screamed and yelled and were very angry. [55:33] They were both angry about it. [55:34] And a day later, they called and they said, [55:37] we will not go to war. [55:39] And then I ended up... [55:40] And the prime minister of Pakistan said, [55:43] I saved 50 million lives. [55:45] Because that's too nuclear power. [55:47] Serious. [55:48] Thank you very much, everybody. [55:50] Thank you. [55:50] Can you rule out that Iran is behind the water attacks? [55:53] Can you rule out that Iran is behind that cyber attack? [55:55] Thank you. [55:55] Thank you. [55:56] You guys can tell me. [55:57] I don't think you can. [55:58] I've been talking to... [55:59] Minnesota is behind it. [56:00] You know who's behind it? [56:02] Minnesota. [56:02] Because they're grossly incompetent. [56:04] I think the government... [56:05] I don't think there was... [56:07] an Iranian cyber attack. [56:09] I think that Minnesota ought to get its act together. [56:12] It's one of the worst-run states. [56:14] J.D. will tell you. [56:15] We found tremendous corruption in Minnesota. [56:17] And by the way, [56:19] this gave me a report. [56:20] Massive, massive future things [56:23] having to do with corruption in Minnesota [56:25] are happening right now. [56:26] Thank you. [56:27] Have you talked to Senator Petterman [56:28] about leaving the Democratic Party? [56:30] Thank you, guys. [56:30] Thank you, guys. [56:32] Thank you. [56:35] Thanks. [56:36] Thanks. [56:48] Thanks. [56:51] Thanks. [56:52] Thanks, everyone. [56:53] Thanks.
