Donald and Melania Trump host White House Easter egg roll 2026

[27:57] He's up on the ladder. One stiff breeze. [48:52] I know. [48:53] Oof. [48:54] And that guy down at the bottom. [48:55] Oof. [48:59] I don't know. [49:00] That's a scissor lift with all the construction here. [49:05] Secretary. [51:22] Secretary Mike Walsh. [51:23] Oh, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. [51:25] And then I think this guy with the long hair is not sure. [51:31] Who is he? [51:50] Produced the Melania movie. [51:51] Let me see if I can get his text right here. [51:55] Is that him? [51:56] Checking. [51:58] Checking. [51:59] Checking. [52:01] Back here. [52:12] Thank you. [52:25] This is Donald J. Trump and First Lady Melania Trump, accompanied by President's own United [52:59] States Marine Band. [53:00] We'll now honor America with a sing of our national anthem. [56:19] First one, quiet. [56:21] They keep it quiet for about a day, which made it a lot better. [56:25] But those two pilots were incredible brave, and we thank them. [56:28] And we're going to be having a news conference today at 1 o'clock in the Oval Office. [56:33] And we look forward to it. [56:34] But I just want to say we have a great military. [56:36] We have the greatest military, the most powerful military in any place in the world. [56:41] You saw what happened with Venezuela. [56:43] My first term, I didn't know I was going to be using it this much in my second term. [56:53] They're the greatest people that are the warriors and the greatest fighters on Earth. [56:58] We very much appreciate you and love you. [57:02] That's why they do it. [57:03] So this is all about today. [57:04] I must tell you, I came out and I expected we were going to be talking about farmers [57:09] and we love our farmers. [57:10] We were going to talk about so many different products. [57:12] But you know what they want to talk about? [57:15] Sir, this is about eggs, because we have the eggs of the entire country here. [57:21] And we are going to be talking about the eggs of our country here. [57:22] Sir, this is about eggs, because we have the eggs of the entire country here. [57:25] If you remember, when I first got elected, my first news conference with the fake news, [57:30] a lot of fake news here today, when I had a news conference, and the question, [57:36] what are you going to do about eggs, sir? [57:39] What's wrong with eggs? [57:40] I just got a second day in office at a news conference, and they were screaming at me, [57:45] what am I going to do about eggs? [57:47] And I said, well, it's like, tell me what's wrong with eggs. [57:52] The price was so high, it was four times higher than it was a year before. [57:56] I said, well, that sounds like a problem. [57:59] Let me think about it. [58:00] And Brooke Rollins, our great secretary of agriculture, she got involved. [58:04] We all got involved. [58:05] They didn't want me, as you know, just last year, it's hard to believe, [58:10] they didn't want me to order eggs for the Easter egg roll, the Easter egg hunt that we have here every year. [58:17] They wanted me to use plastic. [58:19] I said, I'm not using plastic. [58:21] We'll get it solved. [58:22] And within a short period of time, eggs came down. [58:25] They came down 40%, 50%. [58:27] And by the time we got there, we had so many eggs, we didn't know what to do with them. [58:31] And today, we have more than 40,000 eggs supplied by all of the great egg farmers that are with us. [58:38] So if eggs is a big thing, and it was a big thing to our great first lady, who's here someplace, let's say, [58:45] I think this is our first lady. [58:46] What do you think of our first lady? [58:48] This is a movie star. [58:49] Do we call her first lady or a movie star? [58:53] She has the biggest movie. [58:54] Can you believe this? [58:56] And she deserves it. [58:57] Would you like to say a couple of words? [59:00] Under. [59:14] Third day of this beautiful nation. [59:17] Enjoy it. [59:19] You are wonderful. [59:21] Their staff and the staff of the White House are really just making it nice. [59:33] This is the nicest I've ever seen. [59:34] So this is my fifth, and I will say that this is, it gets better every time, right? [59:41] It gets better every time. [59:43] You notice the fencing is all brand new. [59:45] I said, you know, we could have bought huge fencing and saved a lot of money. [59:48] They said, this is for Easter, and this is for our egg farmers, and we're going to get new fencing. [59:54] Everything's new. [59:55] Everything's beautiful. [59:56] The White House never looked better, and our country never looked better. [1:00:00] So I just want to thank everybody. [1:00:02] It's been a special period of time. [1:00:04] One year ago, a little bit more, our country was dead. [1:00:09] We had a dead country. [1:00:11] We had an administration that didn't know what the hell they were doing. [1:00:15] Today, we have the hottest country anywhere in the world. [1:00:18] We're respected by everybody, and that's the way we're going to keep it. [1:00:21] That's the way we're going to keep it. [1:00:22] So again, I want to thank all of the associations and the egg farmers and all of the people. [1:00:29] that are here. [1:00:30] We think we could have 50,000 people coming all day long. [1:00:34] It's open, and they expect between 30,000 and 50,000 people, so that's great. [1:00:39] And most importantly, I want to just say, happy Easter, and God bless America. [1:00:44] We have the greatest country on Earth. [1:00:46] God bless you all. [1:00:47] You're very, very special people. [1:00:50] Thank you, everybody. [1:00:51] Have a good time. [1:00:52] Only to make my point. [1:16:13] I think you've heard it before. [1:16:17] I'm going to be doing it right now. [1:16:22] What do you say to Americans who are not a part of the war? [1:16:27] They're foolish, because the war is about one thing. [1:16:31] Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon. [1:16:34] Had we not broken the Barack Hussein Obama agreement, you know what I'm talking about, the Iran nuclear deal. [1:16:42] This is years ago, my first term. [1:16:44] You would have had a total—Israel would have been gone, extinguished. [1:16:49] Israel would have been wiped off the face of the Earth, and the entire Middle East would have been at a loss. [1:16:54] We would have been at a minimum in big trouble, but I did it. [1:16:57] That was phase one. [1:16:58] We killed Soleimani. [1:16:59] Without Soleimani, if they had Soleimani, it would be a whole different thing. [1:17:03] Maybe. [1:17:03] We'd still be winning, but it would have been harder, because we are obliterating that country. [1:17:08] And I hate to do it, but we're obliterating, and they just don't want to say uncle. [1:17:13] They don't want to cry as the expression goes, uncle, but they will. [1:17:16] And if they don't, they'll have no bridges. [1:17:20] They'll have no power plants. [1:17:22] They'll have no anything. [1:17:23] I won't go further, because there are other. [1:17:26] Things that are worse than those two. [1:17:28] And we might have, well, the thing, if I had my choice, what would I like to do? [1:17:34] Take the oil, because it's there for the taking. [1:17:37] There's not a thing they can do about it. [1:17:39] Unfortunately, the American people would like to see us come home. [1:17:43] If it were up to me, I'd take the oil. [1:17:44] I'd keep the oil. [1:17:45] I would make plenty of money. [1:17:47] And I'd also take care of the people of Iran much better than they've been taken care of. [1:17:51] It's been a horrible—they've killed 45,000 people as of a month and a half ago. [1:17:57] Forty-five thousand protests. [1:17:58] We don't do that. [1:18:00] So, if I had my choice, I'd keep the oil. [1:18:03] But I also want to make the people of our country happy. [1:18:06] I think most people wouldn't understand that. [1:18:09] I'll give you an example. [1:18:10] Venezuela has worked out so incredibly. [1:18:13] We have 100 million barrels of oil right now in Houston being refined. [1:18:19] It's been great. [1:18:20] The relationship with Venezuela, the leaders, has been fantastic. [1:18:24] And I think we're going to have a long-term, very good relationship. [1:18:26] Mr. President, when you see the American people— [1:18:28] And it might be—and it might be beyond long-term, you understand what I'm saying. [1:18:31] Mr. President, when you say the American people don't want that, how do you know that? [1:18:39] Are you listening to polls? [1:18:40] Well, I tell you what, I'm pretty good at this stuff. [1:18:42] And I go around and I check. [1:18:44] They'd like to see us win and come home. [1:18:46] And I appreciate CNN for the first time maybe in my life. [1:18:50] They did a poll. [1:18:51] And everyone's saying, oh, is Trump losing MAGA? [1:18:54] No, I'm not losing MAGA. [1:18:55] MAGA loves what I'm doing. [1:18:57] And CNN did a poll of MAGA. [1:18:58] MAGA voters, a big poll, very important poll, Harry. [1:19:02] And he went on, he said, this is amazing, 100% support. [1:19:06] He said, I've never had a 100% poll at anything before. [1:19:10] And it's, do you support Trump, MAGA people? [1:19:12] Which is, by the way, mostly Republican. [1:19:14] And if you look, I would say MAGA makes up a majority like about 95% of the Republican Party. [1:19:22] All right? [1:19:23] So they went out, they did a poll at CNN Quebec, 100% support. [1:19:27] So. [1:19:28] They support what we're doing. [1:19:31] But they would like to see it end and come back. [1:19:34] But remember, wars last years. [1:19:36] We're in there for 34 days. [1:19:38] And we've obliterated a very powerful country in 34 days. [1:19:43] Yeah, if it were up to me, I'd like to keep the oil. [1:19:45] I just don't think the people of the United States would really understand. [1:19:48] 45-day ceasefire. [1:19:50] A 45-day ceasefire. [1:19:51] Do you like that? [1:19:52] How is it taking care of the Iranian people if you're bombing? [1:19:55] Yeah, who you with? [1:19:56] Who you with? [1:19:56] PBS. [1:19:57] PBS. [1:19:57] Well, that's it. [1:19:59] Radical left group of lunatics that you're with. [1:20:01] Let me just tell you. [1:20:02] Let me just tell you. [1:20:03] Very fair question. [1:20:05] The Iranian people, when they don't hear bombs go off, they're upset. [1:20:11] They want to hear bombs because they want to be free. [1:20:13] And the only reason they're not out protesting, you know that, is because they were informed [1:20:18] that if they protest, like the wrestler and his friends, if they protest, they will be [1:20:24] shot immediately. [1:20:25] And that's an edict. [1:20:27] That's in writing. [1:20:28] If they protest. [1:20:29] If they go out in the streets, they will be immediately shot. [1:20:33] They don't have guns. [1:20:34] You know, we sent some guns. [1:20:36] But the group that was supposed to give, which I said would happen to my people. [1:20:40] I said it. [1:20:40] I called it exactly. [1:20:42] We sent guns. [1:20:43] A lot of guns. [1:20:44] They were supposed to go to the people so they could fight back against these thugs. [1:20:48] You know what happened? [1:20:49] The people that they sent them to kept them because they said, what a beautiful gun. [1:20:53] I think I'll keep it. [1:20:54] So I'm very upset with a certain group of people. [1:20:57] And they're going to pay a big price for that. [1:20:59] But the Iranian people will fight back as soon as they know they're not going to be [1:21:05] shot and as soon as they can get weapons. [1:21:07] If they had weapons, not many of them, if they had weapons that would go in the other [1:21:12] way and you know what happened, Iran would give up in two seconds because they wouldn't [1:21:16] be able to take it. [1:21:17] But in Iran, they have absolutely no weaponry. [1:21:20] And they've been told point blank. [1:21:22] If you come out, if you come out to the streets, you will be killed. [1:21:25] As of this morning, and we have this are pretty good information. [1:21:29] Forty five thousand protesters have been killed pretty bad. [1:21:34] Mr. President, are you on board with a 45 day ceasefire? [1:21:37] You said Iran has been obliterated. [1:21:38] Why are we still out before then? [1:21:41] It's a good country. [1:21:43] They can't fight back. [1:21:44] They have no capability. [1:21:47] I mean, they'll have they have some missiles left. [1:21:50] They have some drones left, but essentially they have no capability. [1:21:54] They had a lucky shot with an airplane, but we got them back out. [1:21:57] The rescue was incredible. [1:21:58] And it wasn't of one person. [1:21:59] It was of. [1:22:00] Two person. [1:22:01] There are those that say that's never happened before, because usually when [1:22:04] you're shot down in strong enemy and deep enemy territory, you can't go after them [1:22:09] because you'll end up losing two hundred and fifty people to get one. [1:22:12] So it's a terrible thing. [1:22:14] But we had to make a decision. [1:22:15] Do we do it or do we not? [1:22:16] And we did. [1:22:18] And, you know, we have some helicopters with a lot of bullet holes in them right [1:22:21] now. Probably, you know, that now I'm very honored by I'm very honored to have [1:22:26] rebuilt our military. [1:22:27] We rebuilt our military in my first term. [1:22:30] I'm using it. [1:22:31] In our second term. [1:22:32] And we are the most respected country anywhere in the world with the greatest [1:22:36] military anywhere in the world. [1:22:38] Thank you. [1:22:38] So we have a news conference. [1:22:40] You'll all be there. [1:22:41] So you could ask the question. [1:22:43] We have a news conference in a little while. [1:22:45] What would you like to ask? [1:22:46] Can you tell us your message to children? [1:22:56] All of this is happening for their future, so they will be safe in years to [1:23:01] come. [1:23:02] That's what we're fighting for. [1:23:04] We're fighting for our children. [1:23:05] That are now in a war zone. [1:23:07] We're keeping them as safe as we can possibly keep them, but we're fighting [1:23:11] for their parents, their grandparents. [1:23:12] We're fighting for them. [1:23:13] We're fighting for their future, and I will tell you, it was given to me loud [1:23:18] and clear the time the Iranian people are the most unhappy when you hear bombs [1:23:22] all over is when those bombs stop. [1:23:25] That's the problem. [1:23:27] When they stop, because that means that are they coming back? [1:23:30] We want to have them back. [1:23:31] And, you know, everybody knows that everybody sees it. [1:23:34] So hopefully it could be over with quickly. [1:23:38] Again, there are lots of different alternatives. [1:23:40] We have many alternatives. [1:23:42] We could leave right now, and it would take him 15 years to rebuild what they have. [1:23:45] We could leave right now, but I want to finish it up. [1:23:48] Iran ready cannot have a nuclear weapon. [1:23:52] They are lunatics, and you can't put nuclear weapons in the hands of a lunatic. [1:23:56] Thank you very much. [1:23:57] Thank you. [1:23:58] Thank you. [1:24:15] Thank you. [1:24:16] Thank you. [1:24:28] Thank you. [1:24:29] Thank you. [1:24:31] Thank you. [1:24:32] But now to you and to Donald. [1:24:34] Yes. [1:24:35] Everybody is an egg person. [1:24:36] I never saw so many egg people. [1:24:37] President Trump. [1:24:38] It tells you it's a big industry. [1:24:39] How did I do with the voters that do eggs? [1:24:42] 100%. [1:24:43] You say 100%. [1:24:44] 100%. [1:24:45] 100%. [1:24:46] Did anybody in the egg industry vote for Kamala? [1:24:49] A low IQ person. [1:24:50] She's a low IQ person. [1:24:51] Yes. [1:24:52] Who's the lower IQ person, Biden or Kamala? [1:24:57] I hate it. [1:25:00] That's probably the toughest question. [1:25:02] That's why I voted for you. [1:25:04] No, no, no. [1:25:06] Come, come. [1:25:08] You're the best. [1:25:10] Wait, wait. [1:25:12] You're blocking my daughter. [1:25:14] Come on, daughter. [1:25:16] Come on, mom. [1:25:18] Mom's very aggressive. [1:25:20] She's an aggressive mom. [1:25:22] Thank you. [1:25:24] Amazing. [1:25:26] Thank you so much. [1:25:28] Thank you. [1:25:30] Thank you. [1:26:13] The highest in American history, [1:26:15] think his deal is terrible. [1:26:18] You're doing okay? [1:26:20] You want to say something? [1:26:22] So your son would be impressed. [1:26:24] Come on up. [1:26:26] This way your son's going to be impressed. [1:26:28] He's high-tech. [1:26:29] Yes, sir. [1:26:30] Go ahead, say a couple of words. [1:26:32] Well, the economy is doing great. [1:26:34] The high-tech sector is amazing. [1:26:35] AI is booming. [1:26:36] We've got so many data centers going up. [1:26:38] It's really incredible. [1:26:39] Are you impressed now with your father? [1:26:41] Yeah. [1:26:41] He made a beautiful statement. [1:26:42] Thank you. [1:26:59] Come on over here, kids. [1:27:15] You have a great dad. [1:27:16] Working out, right? [1:43:26] We're doing, we're fixing up all of this. [1:43:52] How about the columns over here? [1:43:55] Fixing up the office. [1:43:56] He's been fixing 1799. [1:44:01] No, I see spots over there. [1:44:03] Look. [1:44:04] Got hit by something. [1:44:17] Okay, ready? [1:44:18] See the middle column? [1:44:20] Okay. [1:44:22] See up right above the middle column? [1:44:25] The two columns. [1:44:26] Now go up a foot and a half to the, [1:44:29] you see the broken piece of, [1:44:31] you see it? [1:44:32] It's broken. [1:44:34] It's been like that. [1:44:35] This is the White House. [1:44:37] No, but you see what I'm saying? [1:44:38] It's missing. [1:44:39] It fell out 100 years ago. [1:44:42] So the Easter egg roll gave you more things to do. [1:44:44] No, but do you think anyone else would see that? [1:44:47] No. [1:44:47] See, I look at that. [1:44:48] I say, that's imperfect. [1:44:48] You're a builder. [1:44:51] I'm a builder. [1:44:53] Are you a builder? [1:44:54] You know who's got a good instinct? [1:44:57] Eric. [1:44:58] It's Eric. [1:44:59] Luke, you have to leave. [1:45:00] I like you. [1:45:01] Huh? [1:45:03] You decide where I'm going next time. [1:45:05] I'm going to the guy. [1:45:07] Oh, yeah. [1:45:08] Turnberry. [1:45:10] This is the, this egg is ready to break. [1:45:12] Look. [1:45:13] It's the bunny over here. [1:45:14] If it breaks, I'm in trouble. [1:45:16] I think you should get him another egg. [1:45:17] Go get another egg. [1:45:18] This egg is, this egg is, [1:45:20] this egg is, this egg is, this egg is, this egg is, [1:45:21] this egg is, this egg is, this egg is, this egg is, [1:45:21] where's your frog?

[1:45:33] No. [1:45:35] Is that yours, hon? [1:45:36] Yeah. [1:45:38] Say, I owe you. [1:45:39] Say, I owe you. [1:45:40] Okay. [1:45:45] Greatest phrase in the history of politics. [1:45:48] Make America great again, right? [1:45:50] Thanks. [1:45:50] So, see, now it's great, so I have to say keep America. [1:45:55] Keep America. [1:45:57] We brought the toy. We have to go back. [1:46:00] These are not easy to sign. [1:46:02] You have to always make money. [1:46:05] Who do you make money from? [1:46:07] The next thing he's going to do is bring over a golf ball. [1:46:10] That's the hardest thing. [1:46:12] He does what you decide to do. [1:46:13] Golf balls are the worst. [1:46:20] Mr. President, this is Josie, who is a senior. [1:46:24] And it came to our creativity that she made a bracelet for you. [1:46:29] Oh, that's very nice. [1:46:31] Thank you. [1:46:33] Who's phone is that? [1:46:38] President Trump. [1:46:43] President Trump. [1:46:46] You know, there's going to be Easter egg right here. [1:46:49] Okay.

[1:47:33] Do you think the Press liked it when they said four more years to grab suspicions? [1:47:34] More, more, more? [1:47:35] It was all that happened. [1:47:36] And they don't realize that but I'm not here. [1:47:37] They're going to all lose their jobs. [1:47:38] What are they going to do? [1:47:39] No, they're going to lose their jobs. [1:47:40] The next meeting. [1:47:41] You know, there's going to be an Easter egg right here. [1:47:42] They stopped that after the break. [1:47:43] So what's with the Easter egg hunt? [1:47:44] There's going to be an Easter egg down here. [1:47:46] You can stop there. [1:47:48] The President President Trump So what's with the Easter egg, honey? [1:47:51] Did it start? [1:47:52] The Press That's mine, honey. [1:47:54] The President President Trump Tell us about the Easter. [1:47:55] What's going on with the Easter egg, honey? [1:47:58] The Press Donald Trump, you're the best. [1:48:00] The President President Trump Thank you, honey. [1:48:01] I agree. [1:48:04] The President President Trump Who's is that?

[1:48:34] The President President Trump You can ask. [1:48:35] The President President Trump Why don't we put it on our album? [1:48:37] The President President Trump Well, if they don't have it. [1:48:39] The Press They got the band over there. [1:48:41] The President President Trump [1:48:45] Thank you. [1:48:47] The President President Trump We did this a long time ago. [1:48:50] The President President Trump And this on? [1:48:57] The President President Trump So is the song that you're reading? [1:49:03] The President President Trump Yeah, VIr, yeah, I don't know. [1:49:06] The President President Trump The documentation. [1:49:07] The President President Trump This is about seven times more you know the [1:49:14] If you don't open it, can an egg last for 10 years? [1:49:21] I wouldn't think so. [1:49:23] No? [1:49:24] No, it'll last for 11 years. [1:49:26] Sure, sure, right. [1:49:27] You don't have to encase it in anything. [1:49:29] I don't think so. [1:49:36] Whoa, that's good. [1:49:38] Go, come on, we're doing something else. [1:49:45] Get out from under the table. [1:49:48] We're gonna go do something else. [1:49:50] Get out from the table. [1:49:52] Can you sign this? [1:49:53] Go. [1:49:54] Go. [1:49:55] Go. [1:49:56] Go. [1:49:57] Can you sign this? [1:50:00] Sure. [1:50:01] Is there an auto pen around, please? [1:50:04] Does anybody have an auto pen? [1:50:06] You know, Biden used to, they used to follow him with an auto pen. [1:50:08] He gave everything to the auto pen because he was incapable of signing, let alone running [1:50:15] a campaign. [1:50:16] Yeah? [1:50:17] Yeah? [1:50:22] Everybody have anything? [1:50:23] We need a little music. [1:50:24] Come on, get Michael moving. [1:50:25] Come on, Michael. [1:50:26] Good. [1:50:27] I'm just kidding. [1:50:28] Sorry. [1:50:29] Carolina and Athena. [1:50:30] Good morning. [1:50:31] Good morning. [1:50:32] Good morning. [1:50:33] Good morning. [1:50:34] Good morning. [1:50:35] Good morning. [1:50:36] Good morning. [1:50:37] Good morning. [1:50:38] Good morning. [1:50:39] Good morning. [1:50:40] Good morning. [1:50:41] Good morning. [1:50:42] Good morning. [1:50:43] Good morning. [1:50:44] Good morning. [1:50:45] That's a surprise. [1:50:46] That's seriously late. [1:50:47] I'm sorry. [1:50:48] I should be quiet, right? [1:50:49] What? [2:02:45] What were you saying? [2:02:49] Daddy. [2:02:50] Baby? [2:02:51] Daddy. [2:02:52] Daddy, look. [2:02:53] They can sign between intervalls, that's the best thing that ever happened in Venezuela. [2:02:54] They're back on track. [2:02:55] They're doing more business even though we're essentially a partnership in the oil. [2:02:56] They're doing more business now in Venezuela than they've ever done before. [2:03:01] Money's coming in like it's never come in before, it's amazing. [2:03:03] And frankly we could do the same here because if I had my wish, I would like to be able [2:03:10] I would just like to take the oil. [2:03:12] But I don't know that the American public wants that. [2:03:15] They want us to go in, do what we have to do, and get out. [2:03:18] You know what? [2:03:18] We went in for a very simple reason. [2:03:21] And not regime change, but we got regime change. [2:03:23] It's a whole different regime. [2:03:25] This is a different group of people. [2:03:27] They're more moderate. [2:03:28] They're smarter, much smarter. [2:03:30] And, you know, we blew up one regime. [2:03:33] We blew up another regime. [2:03:34] And now we're dealing with a third. [2:03:36] And it is more moderate. [2:03:37] It's better. [2:03:38] But we didn't do it for that. [2:03:39] That seems to be a byproduct. [2:03:42] We did it for a simple reason. [2:03:44] You know what that is? [2:03:44] No nuclear weapon. [2:03:47] And they will never have a nuclear weapon. [2:03:50] Now, on top of that, we've decimated their military. [2:03:53] Their Navy is gone. [2:03:55] Their Air Force is gone. [2:03:56] Most of their missiles are gone. [2:04:00] We have done a hell of a job. [2:04:01] And their leadership is gone. [2:04:22] Do they get ready to do a lunar flyover? [2:04:24] I think they're fantastic. [2:04:26] You know, Jared, and not Jared. [2:04:29] This is my other Jared. [2:04:30] I have two Jareds in my life, right? [2:04:32] Jared's on a flyover. [2:04:32] He's done a fantastic job at NASA. [2:04:34] And he's been amazing. [2:04:36] And everybody told me he was going to be good. [2:04:39] I didn't know he'd be that good. [2:04:41] And he's got that thing hopping. [2:04:42] He's got NASA hopping. [2:04:44] And, you know, he was an astronaut. [2:04:46] He's done this. [2:04:48] Very successful guy. [2:04:49] And he's doing a great job. [2:04:50] Does it add to the meaning that this is happening in the 250th year of American independence? [2:04:54] Well, it's happening then. [2:04:55] And it's also happening at a time where we're in a very, very powerful, [2:04:59] you could call it a military operation. [2:05:02] Mm-hmm. [2:05:02] People like me to call it that because they don't like me using the word war. [2:05:06] Because they say, he said war. [2:05:08] But let's call it a military operation. [2:05:12] But no, Jared's doing a great job. [2:05:14] NASA's amazing, actually, amazing. [2:05:16] And that's some ship. [2:05:18] And so risky. [2:05:19] Personally, I wouldn't want to do it. [2:05:21] Okay? [2:05:21] We all have courage. [2:05:23] I would prefer not to. [2:05:24] Mr. President, on your arm. [2:05:36] They wouldn't open their mouth. [2:05:46] They wouldn't open their mouth. [2:05:47] They're very. [2:05:48] There's been a significant legal challenge to your arch. [2:05:53] Do you think that? [2:05:54] That you can get that built or at least start building it before you leave office? [2:05:55] Who's doing the legal challenge? [2:05:57] It's a group of veterans, sir. [2:05:59] A group of veterans? [2:06:00] Because it obstructs the viewshed between Arlington National Cemetery and the. [2:06:04] You've got to be kidding me. [2:06:39] Civilian power plants could be a war crime. [2:06:42] I'm not worried about it. [2:06:44] You know what's a war crime? [2:06:45] Having a nuclear weapon. [2:06:47] Allowing a sick country with demented leadership have a nuclear weapon. [2:06:52] That's a war crime. [2:06:52] And if I allowed that to happen, like seven other presidents did, every president said, [2:06:58] you know, many of them are saying be off the record and they're saying behind the scene, [2:07:02] they should have done this a long time ago, other press for 47 years. [2:07:07] This has been going on and every one of those presidents should have done it. [2:07:11] And actually, as you know, off the record, they're doing it off the record because they haven't got the courage to say it. [2:07:18] Those presidents are giving me a lot of credit. [2:07:20] You should have been done by Obama. [2:07:22] Should have been done by Clinton. [2:07:23] Should have been done by the Bushes. [2:07:25] You should have been done. [2:07:27] And it would have been a lot easier. [2:07:28] If it was done a long time ago, right? [2:07:30] Do you agree with me? [2:07:32] You know, the war crime, war crime is allowing Iran to have a nuclear weapon and have no Middle East right now. [2:07:45] And they would have been coming here. [2:07:46] I'm not going to let that that would have been a work. [2:07:48] Thank you.
