HEATED CLASH WITH CNN: Trump Holds URGENT Press Conference on New Military Strikes!

[0:00] much it's great thank you mr. president and you have any questions well you know there's a reason [0:20] for everything and we hit them pretty hard the night before and actually last night and when [0:28] it was explained to me I said all right so we'll do that but we've been hitting them pretty hard [0:32] a little bit so there is a reason for certain things and there's usually a reason that sometimes [0:39] makes sense but they did something for it not a big deal we got it we nipped it in the bud very [0:45] quickly as we do with the greatest military in the world but you some people would say they were [0:51] slightly provoked because we took a strong action for a different reason so they were reciprocating [0:58] i hear the uh the negotiation itself has gone very well actually very well i mean if it happens [1:08] and it might not happen you know who knows but if it happens it could happen like over the weekend [1:12] pretty much the way it is it's a different part of the world you're not saying that part of the world [1:21] ceasefire is when you're shooting in a more moderate manner [1:24] it's not bad but it's true i mean it's a ceasefire there is much different than the ceasefire in other [1:34] parts of the world yeah can you explain why you decided to drop the anti-weaponization fund [1:39] so i love it i think it's so important people were this is a victim right here but not only a victim [1:48] it was also a student of it what happened to great people great american people the way they were [1:56] victimized the way they were savaged you have suicides they killed themselves they went bankrupt [2:02] they were weaponized by the biden administration by a bunch of thugs including obama people [2:08] and like nobody's probably ever been i mean i can think of maybe two instances in this country where [2:14] they've had it to somewhere to that extent i'm not even sure who is so much they were put in jail [2:21] for long periods of time they were accused of things that never happened they had prosecutors [2:28] that were radical lunatics and their lives were destroyed and frankly uh we had a lawsuit that [2:37] against us on the you know on the weaponization where the judge a radical left judge ruled against it [2:46] and we'll see how that all works out but a radical left judge ruled against it but these people their [2:53] lives have been destroyed their families have been destroyed many of them not i'm not just talking [2:57] about a few people many of them uh i'm one of them i look i they raided my house mar-a-lago it never [3:06] happened nobody ever thought of anything like that it turned out that it was a total fake everything [3:11] about it was fake and corrupt we have all the information you know the good advantage to sitting [3:16] here is we can get information that you wouldn't get by saying what we have and what we are going [3:20] to be showing over the coming weeks and once you're not even going to believe some of you will believe [3:25] it like cnn will believe it because they knew what was going on they're crooked as hell [3:29] uh cnn's a very corrupt organization but uh with a corrupt reporter standing right there never smiles [3:37] you never see a young beautiful woman never smiles i never see a smile off her face i see her standing [3:43] there with hatred in her eyes like she has hatred because we have borders because we have a strong [3:49] military because we cut our taxes because we do things that everybody wanted and then we win our [3:55] election in a massive landslide we win 87 of the counties in this country nobody's ever heard of a [4:02] thing like that and that's because we're doing the right job and we took a detour down to iran because [4:09] we can't let iran have a nuclear weapon under any circumstances we can't let that happen so [4:16] the reporters should be happy they shouldn't be unhappy they should be very happy because you know [4:20] what we're doing we're saving our country yes one on iran and then one on your birthday okay we do [4:27] one uh the first one is are you concerned at all that uh the irgc could sabotage any potential deal [4:34] and then the second one is you have a birthday coming up i won't say which number but it's a big [4:38] birthday so you're going to blow out a can you're going to blow out uh you know some candles on a [4:42] cake hopefully uh what are your wishes that you'd like to see accomplish for the next year [4:48] well i'll go uh in your order anything can happen you know when you're dealing with iran but when [4:54] you're dealing with other countries but that's a very volatile part of the world probably the most [5:00] volatile part of the world it's very the people are volatile the leadership you see what's going on [5:06] we've gone through three teams of leadership it's been a you know we're military there's no never [5:12] been a military like what we had we could go another two three weeks and just wipe everybody out [5:17] we'd rather not do that very easy to do they're ready to do they want to do it they want to do it [5:24] but if we can get something down and writing which will accomplish the same thing without killing [5:28] everybody i'd like to do that most of my people i think would like to do that uh some people wouldn't [5:35] but most of them would but we had to take a detour as far as wishes for and i'm very proud of that [5:40] detour you know by the way just to finish off on that we had the strongest stock market in history [5:46] and i said we have no choice we have to do it i knew it would affect it but i was uh very happily [5:52] surprised when i saw that today we hit another stock market high i mean we have the highest stock market [5:57] in history with a military conflict going on or a war some people call it war some people call it a [6:03] military it's not a big thing for us we have a great military it's not a big thing for us but [6:08] if i didn't do that i i spoke to people like peter great financial people scott and howard and lots [6:15] of others i said you know we just hit the greatest stock market in history everyone's 401ks are the [6:20] highest they've ever been everybody's making a lot of money costs are coming down you know we took over [6:27] the highest cost and the highest inflation in the history of our country costs are coming down [6:31] everything's good and i hate to tell you this but we've got to take a little detour and go down to a [6:36] place called the islamic republic of iran and we're going to have to stop them from having a nuclear [6:43] weapon that's what we've done and they've agreed to that by the way they i mean if they sign the [6:47] agreement they will have agreed to we will not have a nuclear weapon or bomb we will not develop one [6:57] we will not buy one you know originally it was we will not develop i said what about if they buy that [7:03] went into a two-week negotiation but in the end we got that now we got it if they sign the paper in [7:11] theory they're pretty close to signing a paper we've actually gotten along with them very well and you [7:16] know what you saw for the last few nights uh it takes two to tango you understand that we hit them [7:22] very hard on something else unrelated and so they were responding but uh and not you're not very [7:29] strongly uh as far as birthday as far as wishes i want us just you know we have a phrase i think it [7:34] goes down i would think in the history of our country maybe the history of the world is the greatest [7:39] slogan or phrase ever make america great again that's all i want want to make america great again [7:46] i think we've come a long way i think we're the most respected country in the world right now by far [7:52] the most respected president she told me i was talking about he's a friend of mine he's a good [7:56] man i hate to say it because the press goes and they say oh he called him a good man he is a good [8:02] he's for china i'm for the usa you know it's like one of those things but we do very well now with [8:08] china when i came here we didn't we're not doing well with china my first term when i inherited that [8:12] it was like what china was doing to us was incredible i don't blame china they took advantage of [8:17] stupid people really stupid people so um we're doing great but the phrase make america great [8:26] again that's all i want very simple phrase to think of and i think it's the greatest in the history i [8:31] would say that's probably the greatest phrase in the history of the world not only here there's never [8:35] been anything like it make america great again that's what i've done and we've made it great in [8:40] fact in a way i i want to use it because i would never give it up mega it's too good it's too good it's [8:46] it really is the republican party that's why we're doing so well that's why we uh you know if you [8:51] look at the republican party from before i came till now this is a much different party it's a much [8:56] bigger party we have many many more people and i think the thought the the mind the thought is much [9:04] different than it was uh 10 years ago it's been uh it's amazing much more powerful party much different [9:11] party and uh a much more impactful party thank you very much uh first you said last week that the [9:23] u.s would go in and dig out the buried nuclear material and you're with them with them right [9:31] did your mom actually agree to that well it depends on what day you're talking about [9:37] and they did agree and then sometimes they did they agreed well that's what i'm saying it's one [9:42] of the things we talk about uh it's very overrated i'm the one that overrated it i thought to me it [9:50] was important to other people it's not important because those beautiful b2 right here the b2 bombers [9:56] they uh obliterated you know when cnn said uh maybe it was an obliteration they knew i mean before the [10:04] pilots even came back home before anybody saw the site but then the atomic energy commission went they [10:09] said it was obliterated and that stuff is buried underneath a mountain and virtually collapsed it's [10:15] very very hard to get it uh one of the but nevertheless i want to get it we're the only ones uh us and [10:21] probably china are the only two countries that have the equipment where you can do that so yeah i want [10:27] to get it we have uh at different times had different i mean they've changed your mind a couple of [10:32] times but as it stands now we will go and sometime in the not too distant future it's it's very safe [10:39] down there you know we have with space force we have cameras every angle that those three sites are [10:45] being watched at all times if anybody went there we'll see exactly what's happening and we'll opposite [10:53] they gave billions and billions of dollars to iran including 1.7 billion put into a boeing 757 [11:02] with the seats taken out because there wasn't enough room if you left the seats with 1.7 billion in cash [11:09] taken from the banks in dc maryland and virginia and flown to iran 1.7 in green cash and then tens of [11:20] billions of dollars given to iran by our government frankly they picked the wrong country but maybe [11:27] we're going to be getting along with it and we're going to find out you know there is a good possibility i [11:32] think because without the bombing that wouldn't have worked without the blockade the blockade is [11:37] the most powerful thing i think the blockade maybe has more impact than the bombing has [11:41] but the blockade that we have the naval blockade is incredible not one ship has gotten through [11:46] unless we wanted it to and people respect it a lot and we'll see but you know there's a chance if this [11:52] really worked out they could rebuild you know it used to be a very very good nation you go back i have [11:59] friends that used to old timers they used to go there and they used to do well they used to build [12:04] it around they built department houses and they built office buildings that are hard to believe [12:08] right but there's a chance that maybe that comes back but whether it comes back or not [12:15] i think we have a very powerful deal that we're negotiating the exact opposite as the obama deal the [12:20] obama deal was a disgrace it gave them a nuclear weapon we do the exact thing we under our deal they [12:26] will never ever have a nuclear weapon one of the other things that happens and this is uh important [12:33] but there's nothing more important than taking away the capability of a nuclear weapon from her [12:37] mr president wait but one of the other things that's important and very important is that uh [12:44] immediately upon signing the memorandum of understanding the hormones state will open [12:50] and it'll open up quickly and uh we've already had our mind sweepers there you know we're sweeping as [12:55] you probably have heard and these are underwater minesweepers they're great amazing technology [13:02] they're underwater because usually when you're looking for mines that usually means you have some [13:06] dangerous characters out there that's why so we're underwater but we've swept mines and we've gotten [13:13] most of them we think so uh but the uh the homo straight will open immediately upon signing now [13:21] that's subject to a couple of areas being cleaned out also of mines which we don't think there are any [13:26] so it'll happen very quickly and we'll take the southern route anyway but immediately upon signing we [13:32] open up the harmless straight [13:38] excuse me mr president just to clarify on what you were asked earlier is the 1.8 billion dollar doj fund [13:44] dead or is it on hold it's uh i'd have to ask the lawyers i don't know i know one thing the weaponization [13:51] are you talking about the weaponization the weaponization fund uh as far as i'm concerned [13:57] was a beautiful thing it was something i was i i didn't make it but i was i heard that i thought [14:04] that was the greatest thing because people like you have abused our people so badly the fake news like [14:09] cnn like the new york times and like others have abused our people wait a minute be quiet have abused [14:16] our people so badly and you should be ashamed of yourself you used to be a conservative she was a [14:21] conservative from alabama can you believe it but cnn in particular cnn does such false reporting but [14:29] now they have new ownership so maybe it'll straighten it out i doubt it but it's hard to straighten garbage [14:34] out but cnn has abused and and others have abused so badly people uh these are people that are great [14:41] people that were destroyed their families have been destroyed many suicides they committed [14:47] suicide people that went there to with love they went there with love you know when i made that [14:52] speech early in the day uh tremendous crowd i i hate to say because they'll say oh i was wrong on the [14:59] number but i believe it's the largest crowd i've ever spoken to by by twice the biggest crowd i think [15:06] bigger than the inaugurations bigger than anything and there was so much love and and friendship it was [15:13] the most amazing thing people were crying they were like wait a minute let me finish let me finish [15:18] let me finish and those people have been abused by you and by others and by the politicians by the [15:26] democrats they're dumb people they want to have open borders they want to have transgender [15:30] mutualization of your children they want to have men playing in women's sports they want to have high [15:35] taxes they turned down you know they fought us in the tax bill and they fought us because they want [15:40] people to pay high taxes because they're crazy there's something wrong with them there's something [15:45] wrong with you it's a shame yeah go ahead thank you so much on communism today you have some stern [15:50] words on communism i just wrote that did you like it did you think it was well written well certainly [15:55] very meaningful well i'd read it you want to read it do you have it you could read it some truth i just [16:01] wrote it i just felt i've seen what's going on with communism and i see this kind of read it i'd love to have [16:09] you thinking that one is always do well with the voters or as they would say the people in the [16:15] early years but in the end the country state or city goes to hell great violence proceeds at levels [16:21] never seen before and the entity dissolves into poverty squalor and crime remember breathtaking [16:27] popularity first and then guaranteed death and destruction well you see it happening with new york [16:34] you see it happening with los angeles and parts of california and it's so easy you know i'd be [16:40] the greatest in the world nobody would be as good as me i'd get away everything i could be the [16:45] greatest i would sell them you're going to get free rent you're going to get free houses you're going [16:49] to get free food you're going to get free everything but eventually that ends and it leads to death [16:57] destruction and squalor a hundred percent of the time when i watch new york and you know i liked him [17:04] very much he stood right here and he's been in the office a couple of times the mayor of new york [17:09] i think he's a very nice person but and i don't know he's a smart guy i don't understand why he [17:15] thinks it's okay for all these companies that pay hundreds of millions of dollars in taxes a year to [17:21] leave because you're not going to have any tax base and you're going to end up in hunger and squalor [17:27] and death and destruction i would be better than him if i wanted to go that route ladies and gentlemen [17:36] you'll no longer pay rent you'll no longer have to pay interest on your mortgage in fact i'll end [17:42] your mortgage i'm going to cut everything you're no longer going to have to pay for food i'm going [17:48] to give you a grocery store and i'm going to give you free food you're no longer going to have you're [17:52] going to have the greatest life ever follow me you're going to have the greatest and you know what [17:57] for a couple of years that's such a powerful i would be the best ever at giving it nobody would ever [18:02] be i had to sell free enterprise free enterprise is tougher to sell but that's what's made our [18:08] country great and that's why it's great again now if i didn't get elected we wouldn't have a country [18:13] we really wouldn't have a country this country would be finished but i see what's happening in [18:18] los angeles i see what's happening in new york where i look at chicago you have a stupid governor [18:23] a dumb governor a really dumb guy i know him well he's a failure in his family pritzker i know the [18:29] family has partners in a deal with him i made a lot of money they made money we made a good partnership [18:34] but he was like an outcast in the family he's a slob and uh the mayor is a low iq person i mean he's [18:42] a stupid person in chicago chicago has a case real chance to become great again there's a case great [18:49] again if we were allowed to do what we did in washington or memphis you know i was with the [18:57] governor of tennessee yesterday and he said i want to come in he came in to thank me i said for what [19:02] he said what you did for memphis memphis the crime is down about 72 percent and it's going he said it's [19:10] like a different city washington is even more so we started a little bit earlier washington you walk [19:16] down the streets and people feel safe here again it's a safe city uh if i were oh by the way uh in [19:25] louisiana what i've done there is unbelievable because the governor jeff landry called he said [19:32] you got to help me with new orleans we have a tremendous crime problem and i sent in our really [19:38] talented people including national guardsmen and they didn't know unbelievable they had the safest [19:44] they said they had the safe we just ended about three weeks ago they had the safest mardi gras they've [19:50] ever had i could do that in chicago but you have to have the support of a governor you can't have a [19:55] slob that says you know we don't want it people get murdered and he says it's fine they lost five [20:00] or six people last week and they said it's fine they're not gonna lose five or six people and i [20:06] would make chicago so good and so safe it's got potential the longer it goes the harder it is to fix [20:13] and uh san francisco we could do such a good job my friend said please let them air he's a liberal guy [20:19] nice guy i talked to him he wants to make san francisco good and he's trying very hard i said [20:28] look i can do it much faster than you please let me have a time i mean i spoke to the mayor and some [20:33] very important people asked me to give him a chance because i'd like to see if he could do it and he's [20:38] doing okay but i could do it much faster much better and we can remove don't forget two percent of your [20:45] people create ninety percent of your crime that's a great number because two percent of the people [20:50] you can take care of who's ninety percent of the people that's not good but two percent in washington [20:56] right here in dc we removed close to five thousand hard-line criminals many came in through the biden [21:03] open border we removed them from washington dc and it's one of the reasons that we're so safe now [21:10] we have a great beautiful place again the fountains are almost all open you're going to have the [21:16] reflecting pool opened within hours i mean literally within hours the water starts pouring in tonight [21:23] it's going to be beautiful you haven't seen that since 1922 think of that 1922 it hasn't worked never [21:29] worked from the day they built it it never worked but you're going to see that and people are all [21:34] thanking me because washington is beautiful again the parks are open we changed the grass you know grass [21:40] has a life also like people grass has a life and that grass hasn't been changed in 70 80 years [21:48] it died many times over we have beautiful grass beautiful parks beautiful everything we don't [21:53] have people living on it and uh washington dc in in a matter of 14 months washington dc is like a [22:03] different place if people are coming here you know you uh the restaurants were all going out of business [22:08] as you know because you use the restaurants and now the restaurants are hot as a in fact [22:14] if anything we don't have enough restaurant space they're all reopening it's it's become vibrant it's [22:20] a beautiful thing to watch and i am honored that i've been able to do it to our nation's capital [22:24] thank you very much everybody
