"Hate the world. Not going to happen. Mr. President, would you classify if the deal is not reached by the end of the ceasefire? Does your threat from before still stand? Yeah, I don't want to comment on that, but it won't be pleasant for them. Let me put it that way. Do you still plan to charge a..."
[0:00] Hate the world. Not going to happen.
[0:02] Mr. President, would you classify if the deal is not reached by the end of the ceasefire?
[0:07] Does your threat from before still stand?
[0:10] Yeah, I don't want to comment on that, but it won't be pleasant for them.
[0:13] Let me put it that way.
[0:14] Do you still plan to charge a toll?
[0:16] Mr. President, has your timetable changed in any way in terms of ending this conflict?
[0:20] No, it's going on.
[0:23] Right now, there's no fighting.
[0:25] Right now, we have a blockade.
[0:27] They're doing no business.
[0:29] I didn't like seeing boats come out if they were doing business with Iran.
[0:32] But if there weren't, no boats came out.
[0:34] So now, they're doing — Iran is doing absolutely no business.
[0:38] And we're going to keep it that way very easily.
[0:40] Don't forget, their Navy is gone, their Air Force is gone, their anti-aircraft is gone,
[0:45] their radar is gone, and their leaders are gone.
[0:47] It's a lot.
[0:49] Do you still want to charge a toll?
[0:51] The Press of the President coming from predominantly going to China, Mr. President,
[0:55] has Xi Jinping reached out?
[0:57] No, but we have a very good relationship with China.
[1:00] He would like to see this ended also.
[1:02] He certainly wants it ended.
[1:03] Everyone — I want to see it ended, too.
[1:05] But we can't give a nuclear weapon to a group of people that have caused nothing but havoc for 47 years.
[1:13] Look, I'm the President that's done something about it.
[1:17] This should have been — and many other presidents regret that they didn't.
[1:22] You know, so I'm doing something about it.
[1:24] The Press of the Ukraine impeachment documents that were just declassified show that Eric Charanella not only submitted false information,
[1:30] but that he had no direct knowledge of the alleged conversation and all hearsay.
[1:35] Do you feel indicated by those documents?
[1:37] Yeah, I do.
[1:38] There are a bunch of crooked people.
[1:39] You're talking about with respect to all of the things that they put against me?
[1:44] Yeah.
[1:45] Well, it's come out that in so many different ways — thank you very much for that question.
[1:48] I appreciate it.
[1:49] But in so many different ways, the election was rigged.
[1:52] The 2020 election was rigged.
[1:53] We found that out.
[1:55] What you just said is just a piece of that.
[1:58] It's a big piece, but minor, relatively speaking, compared to what they did.
[2:02] They cheated on the election.
[2:04] They cheated on the vote.
[2:05] They cheated in every way possible.
[2:07] And it's the only way we got an incompetent man to be a president.
[2:10] And he was an incompetent man.
[2:12] Many of the things that we're talking about, even including this, this would have been settled a long time ago, not now.
[2:18] And it should have been settled by other presidents.
[2:20] But the election was a rigged election.
[2:22] We can't let that happen to our country.
[2:24] Well, it's a very serious charge against them.
[2:30] And the Democrats.
[2:31] They cheated.
[2:33] They can't get elected with their policy.
[2:35] So their policy's no good.
[2:37] They want to have, I mean, open borders.
[2:41] They want to have men playing in women's sports.
[2:43] Do you think that men should play in women's sports?
[2:45] I really don't have an opinion on that.
[2:48] You don't?
[2:49] I'll bet you do.
[2:50] No, no.
[2:51] I'm here about no tax on tips.
[2:54] Okay.
[2:55] Ma'am.
[2:57] Go ahead, please.
[2:59] Thank you, Mr. President.
[3:00] If you're understanding that during this period of time, while the U.S. has instituted this naval blockade, that oil companies will be able to send their oil tankers through the strait, get more oil out from this area.
[3:13] Yeah, I think they're going to be doing very well there.
[3:15] And I think they're doing very well here.
[3:17] You know, a lot of tankers are coming up here.
[3:19] They're coming in empty and out full.
[3:22] And we have a great capacity to take care of that business.
[3:25] Ma'am, may we know your name, please?
[3:26] Have you delivered to the White House before?
[3:28] I have not.
[3:29] My name is Sharon Simmons.
[3:31] And are the White House good tippers?
[3:32] Do you know?
[3:33] Um...
[3:34] Wait.
[3:35] Potentially.
[3:37] Yes, very.
[3:39] Mr. President, can I ask you something else?
[3:42] Thank you.
[3:43] You reminded me.
[3:44] Mr. President, one on Cuba, sir.
[3:46] You previously said that you had no problem with countries sending fuel to Cuba after previously promising to enter them.
[3:55] What happened?
[3:56] What changed?
[3:57] Well, we're going to see with Cuba.
[3:58] Cuba's another story.
[3:59] Cuba's been a terribly run country for a long time.
[4:03] It's got a bad system.
[4:04] It's been very oppressive, as you know.
[4:06] And we have a lot of great Cuban Americans, all of whom just about voted for me.
[4:11] And they were treated very badly.
[4:13] In many cases, family members have been killed.
[4:15] They've been beaten up and mugged and, like, terrible things happened in Cuba.
[4:20] And Cuba's a failing nation.
[4:22] And we're going to do this.
[4:24] And we may stop by Cuba after we're finished with this.
[4:27] But Cuba is a nation that has been horribly run for many years by Castro.
[4:33] Well, I don't know.
[4:46] I know she's a very corrupt person.
[4:48] And you're talking about the so-called attorney general of New York.
[4:52] She's a very corrupt person.
[4:54] That's been proven now.
[4:55] And I know they have nothing to do with it.
[4:59] But they're looking at things all over the place.
[5:02] More than one state concerning her.
[5:04] And concerning people like Comey, who's a dirty cop.
[5:08] Comey's a dirty cop.
[5:10] And dirty cops are bad.
[5:13] Nobody likes the police more than me.
[5:15] Law enforcement more than me.
[5:17] But Comey's a totally dirty cop.
[5:19] And we're not going to stand for it.
[5:22] Yeah?
[5:23] The UFC fight is happening at the White House this summer.
[5:26] The UFC typically numbers those fights consecutively.
[5:29] But should they label this one UFC 1776?
[5:32] That's a good idea.
[5:33] I'll tell that to Dana White.
[5:34] I like that idea, actually.
[5:36] I will say I've been involved with a lot of big events.
[5:39] I have never had an event that's had more interest than the UFC fight that we have right at the front door.
[5:44] Right there, they're going to start building about a 4,500-seat arena.
[5:50] And then in the back, at the Ellipse, we're going to have maybe 100,000, 50 to 100,000 people, I guess.
[5:57] They're building tremendous stages.
[6:00] And you're going to have massive screens of the fight.
[6:03] And it's a very popular sport.
[6:05] But I have never been involved because of the White House and everything.
[6:09] There's a lot of reasons for it.
[6:10] But we're having a fight at the White House on June 14th.
[6:13] And we're going to have an arena built right at the front door.
[6:17] And you know, if you want, is your husband up to coming, do you think?
[6:21] Does he like UFC?
[6:22] He might.
[6:24] If he's feeling good, we'll make sure you come, okay?
[6:26] That would be wonderful. Thank you.
[6:28] That's better than the tip I just gave you, I'll tell you.
[6:30] That's a lot better.
[6:31] But no, if he's feeling good, right?
[6:32] Is he doing okay? Is he going to be okay?
[6:34] He's doing very well. He's doing very well.
[6:36] He actually, during the process, he wrote a book, and...
[6:42] All right, give him the name. Maybe he'll say...
[6:44] He hasn't had it published yet, but it's a book on humility.
[6:48] And his name is Leo, and he's just...
[6:52] Good guy.
[6:53] Doing good. He's doing great.
[6:55] How long are you married?
[6:56] We have been married for six years.
[6:59] Oh, that's good.
[7:01] But we've, you know, like most people, we've been together for over ten, so...
[7:04] That's very good.
[7:06] Well, that's very nice to say hello to him. He's going to be good.
[7:09] Okay, he's going to get better, and he's going to be good.
[7:11] Yes, sir.
[7:12] Good.
[7:13] Well, I want to thank you all, and I especially want to thank you for being here.
[7:15] Well, I want to thank you for the No Tax on Tips.
[7:20] Oh, that's good.
[7:21] It has helped my family out immensely, and I definitely appreciate it.
[7:26] Thank you.
[7:27] You know, the one thing that I, just in leaving, we've had more good press for change
[7:32] having to do with the fact that people are receiving more money from their tax refunds
[7:37] than they ever thought possible.
[7:39] We had a man the other day got $5,000.
[7:41] Another one got seven.
[7:42] They weren't expecting anything like this, and it's because of the great, big, beautiful bill.
[7:46] And that's why you came, and I really appreciate it, and tell your husband to get better.
[7:52] I will.
[7:53] And if you're feeling good, you'll come up and you'll watch that fight.
[7:55] All right.
[7:56] June 14th.
[7:57] Thank you.
[7:58] Thank you very much.
[7:59] Thank you so much.
[8:00] Thank you.
[8:01] Thank you.
[8:02] Thank you.
[8:03] Thank you.
[8:04] Any update on who you want to lead DOJ?
[8:06] Well, I think, Todd, as far as doing a fantastic job, I will say that.
[8:10] He's a great lawyer.
[8:11] I know that because he's been with me a long time.
[8:14] And so far, he's doing a great job.
[8:16] But we have incredible people in the DOJ getting better all the time.
[8:20] Thank you very much, everybody.
[8:21] Thank you, sir.
[8:22] You want to come in for a second?
[8:26] Thank you.
[8:27] Thank you.
[8:35] Thank you.
[8:36] I don't have any text.
