"And I've been watching other countries for a long time. I have never seen anything like that. That wasn't a little bit of a riot. That wasn't a little bit of a protest. That was a full-on revolution. And it continues. And it continues. So, you know, we want to be helpful. We want to be with them..."

[0:00] And I've been watching other countries for a long time. [0:03] I have never seen anything like that. [0:05] That wasn't a little bit of a riot. [0:08] That wasn't a little bit of a protest. [0:10] That was a full-on revolution. [0:14] And it continues. [0:16] And it continues. [0:16] So, you know, we want to be helpful. [0:19] We want to be with them and all. [0:20] But you're not going to have a Europe pretty soon [0:23] if they keep going. [0:24] And it's mostly immigrate. [0:25] There are other protests. [0:26] You know, J.D. wrote a great post on it recently. [0:30] But he would say the same thing. [0:31] I would have said it whether I looked or not. [0:34] I mean, it's very much of an immigration problem. [0:38] You have people coming into countries [0:39] that don't like the countries. [0:41] Somebody said it very well. [0:43] I said it very well. [0:43] They don't like the buildings. [0:45] They don't like the art. [0:47] They don't like anything about the country. [0:49] And they don't like the people. [0:51] They have no reason not to do what they did in France. [0:54] And I told President Macron, who's a friend of mine, [0:58] I have known him right from the beginning, [1:00] right after I got elected the first time. [1:02] I got to meet him. [1:04] I liked him. [1:04] I still like him. [1:06] But I said, if you don't stop the immigration problem, [1:09] you're not going to have a country left. [1:11] And I said that to Germany. [1:14] And I said it to the U.K. [1:18] I mean, you take a look at the U.K. [1:19] They have a mayor in London who's horrible. [1:21] I mean, he's just absolutely horrible. [1:24] And so bad what's happened to London, [1:26] what's happened to Paris. [1:29] They don't stop it and remove people. [1:31] I'm not just talking about something. [1:32] You got to remove people, get them the hell out. [1:35] But they're not going to have a European Union. [1:40] They're not going to have anything. [1:41] And I like the people. [1:42] They're friends of mine. [1:43] I guess indirectly and directly, [1:46] that's where I came from, right? [1:47] Some of us come from that part, that neck of the woods. [1:51] But they better get moving because they don't have much time. [1:54] When you look at France, and it happened in Italy too, [1:58] smaller scale, but it's right there. [1:59] It's simmering, if you don't get that out. [2:02] And you're going to have to remove the people. [2:04] You're going to have to remove those people [2:06] that are insurrectionists. [2:07] You're going to have to get them out of the country. [2:09] You can't just say, oh, we won't take anymore. [2:12] And they continue to take. [2:15] I mean, again, take a look at Spain just a couple of weeks ago. [2:18] A hundred and some odd thousand people in just a matter of minutes [2:22] rushed into the country. [2:23] They don't do anything about it. [2:25] I don't know where they're living. [2:26] I don't know, it's a crazy situation going on. [2:30] So we have now a border that's the strongest we've ever had by far. [2:34] It's been that way since the very beginning of my second term [2:39] or third term, depending on the way you want to define it. [2:42] And I just don't want the results of this. [2:44] I'd like the third term, but I don't want the results of the second term. [2:49] But this has been an amazing thing has happened to it. [2:54] We have the strongest border we've ever had. [2:57] We have the single greatest moment in the history of our country [3:01] in terms of the economy, meaning the big economy, [3:04] meaning the trillions and trillions of dollars [3:07] that's building plants and factories all over our country. [3:10] We just, Toyota just announced they're coming in [3:12] with a massive car plant. [3:14] You know, we had a period of 49 years [3:16] where we lost many car plants, but not one was built. [3:20] And now we're building more car plants [3:22] than we've ever built before. [3:24] We're leading China in SI, super intelligence. [3:28] We're leading them. [3:29] We're leading everybody. [3:30] We're leading the world in just about everything. [3:32] And, you know, I call it the golden age. [3:35] It's the golden age of America. [3:37] It's a pretty amazing time. [3:38] Yeah, sir, President, sir. [3:39] You're offering 10% to whistleblowers [3:43] for turning in what you're describing as fraud. [3:46] One percent. [3:46] One percent? [3:47] Okay, that's actually worse. [3:48] The False Claims Act, which has been on the books since 1863, [3:52] whistleblowers can get between 10 and 25% through G-10 lawsuits. [3:57] Why would someone who has evidence of genuine fraud go to your task force? [4:02] Because it's a lot of money. [4:03] And because when they did that, that's a certain type of crime. [4:06] But nobody ever thought that you could have stolen $2 trillion [4:11] or whatever the ultimate number is going to be. [4:14] And at one percent, people will make millions and millions of dollars [4:18] for turning in what actually is a somewhat routine crime of, you know, [4:24] of millions, of millions. [4:25] But we're talking about, we're talking about billions [4:29] and actually probably trillions of dollars. [4:31] The President, sir. [4:33] Okay, first of all, I think that's a fundamentally dishonest question. [4:37] Because over 99% of the fraud that we're finding in the federal government [4:41] isn't covered by the False Claims Act. [4:43] What the President is saying is he wants all fraud to be the sort of thing [4:46] where if you find it, if you uncover it, you find evidence [4:49] and allow us to undo the money, you should be able to benefit, [4:52] not just a very narrow slice that's covered by the False Claims Act. [4:55] Timeline, thank you. [4:56] The Independent. [4:57] Who? [4:58] The Independent, sir. [5:00] Mr. President, Mr. President, on Ukraine, on Ukraine, [5:05] sir, on Ukraine, do you believe the peace process is about a contract? [5:09] Wait. [5:10] Wait. [5:12] Go ahead. [5:13] Can I just ask you about Trump accounts? [5:14] Could Trump accounts expand to adults? [5:15] We've heard some rumors about it. [5:16] Well, we haven't thought of it. [5:17] We're looking at something as an alternative. [5:20] Trump accounts has been one of the greatest things, [5:23] one of the most successful things people have seen ever in government. [5:26] And I want to thank Elon Musk. [5:28] He saw what he was doing. [5:29] He's one share to each child. [5:31] And it's also going through, as you know, Trump accounts. [5:33] And we have close to 80 million recipients. [5:38] And that's going up rapidly. [5:40] A lot of big companies are coming in. [5:42] They're coming in with people. [5:43] Some people are taking one person is going to take an entire state. [5:47] A very rich person is going to take a very good and very large actual state. [5:52] It's been amazing. [5:55] We are looking at something different because it really is [5:58] somewhat of a different thing having to do with adults. [6:02] Yes? [6:03] Mr. President, sir, on Ukrainian police suit, [6:07] after today's talks in Oslo, do you believe the peace process is back on track? [6:11] And what are your expectations when your special envoy, Steve Woodcock, [6:16] heads to Russia tomorrow? [6:18] Well, I think what's happening is that Russia would like to get it done. [6:25] I think that, and you know, Russia's a big machine. [6:28] They just keep grinding forward, and that's what they've done. [6:32] They've taken a very large piece of land, [6:35] and you know, you can say that Ukraine is doing well or poorly, [6:41] but the land gets bigger and bigger all the time, week by week. [6:45] They march forward. They just keep marching forward. [6:49] They have an unlimited supply of people, whereas Ukraine, as you know, [6:54] is a woman who's, I guess, not exactly a very beautiful woman, nice woman, [7:02] and she was on television recently talking about the fact that our men are gone. [7:07] She's a Ukrainian woman. [7:09] Our men are gone. They're lost. They're dead. [7:11] They're in mental institutions. [7:14] They're walking around. They have no arms. [7:17] They have no legs in many cases. [7:19] They've been hurt so badly. They've been just decimated. [7:23] And it was very poignant. [7:25] When I heard this, I said, boy, that's some statement. [7:29] And she said, Russia's a very big country. [7:31] They can lose a lot of people in a war, and they have lost a lot of people. [7:36] They lost 50 million people in the Second World War. [7:39] They lose a lot of people, but they're very big. [7:41] And she said, they have to settle this war. [7:45] Look, Ukraine has lost a lot of people. [7:49] Russia's lost a lot of people. [7:51] Russia, though, is a giant nation. [7:53] Ukraine is not. [7:56] I can tell you this. [7:58] We've been helping through Joe Biden originally, [8:00] and he made a mistake because he should have done it through the European Union. [8:05] He should have been paid. [8:06] The European Union has quite a bit of money, [8:08] although I have to tell you they're getting tired of spending it. [8:11] But we gave $350 billion to Ukraine. [8:18] And, you know, I insisted on getting something for that money. [8:22] And we got a very big chunk of land and rare earth and other things, [8:26] if anybody remembers. [8:28] Let's see what that amounts to. [8:30] But Ukraine has to want to settle this war. [8:33] Zelensky has to want to settle this war. [8:36] And if he doesn't, I think it's going to be a very bad thing. [8:38] Look, we have given tremendous amounts to Ukraine. [8:44] We've got nothing back other than high diesel. [8:48] We have given probably, possibly more money to Ukraine [8:54] than almost anybody over the years. [8:58] Hundreds of billions of dollars. [9:00] We've got nothing back. [9:02] And the American taxpayers are tired of it. [9:05] We want Zelensky to make a deal. [9:07] He can make a deal. [9:08] He could have made a deal two years ago [9:10] when we had our little chat in the Oval Office. [9:13] We had a now quite well-remembered chat with J.D., myself, some others, Zelensky. [9:22] Could have made a good deal then. [9:23] Could have made a much better deal then, probably, possibly, [9:26] than he could make now. [9:27] But he's going to have to want to make a deal [9:29] because I don't think his people are going to stand for it. [9:32] They've been fighting a war. [9:34] So, last month, they lost 32,000 people between the both of them. [9:39] They're mostly soldiers, mostly young soldiers, [9:43] some people in a town that got hit or whatever, [9:45] but mostly young soldiers. [9:48] It doesn't affect us much. [9:50] It doesn't affect us in theory at all. [9:52] We're not involved. [9:54] What affects me is to see that many souls lost so needlessly. [9:58] So, what I'd like to see is I'd like to make a deal. [10:01] I'd like to see if they can make a deal. [10:03] I thought, you know, I settled eight wars. [10:05] I thought that would be the easiest one. [10:08] The hatred between President Putin and President Zelensky is tremendous. [10:15] I think that's most of the reason they haven't been able to make a deal, actually. [10:18] But Ukraine has to want to make a deal [10:22] because the United States has spent a fortune. [10:25] Europe has spent a fortune. [10:27] And Europe's tired of it right now. [10:28] They're tired of it right now. [10:30] And if they don't make a deal, [10:32] ultimately, it's just going to get, in my opinion, [10:35] it's really just going to get worse. [10:38] You have a very big country in Russia. [10:40] They have a lot of people. [10:41] They have a lot of people to draw from. [10:43] Ukraine does not have a lot of people to draw from. [10:45] And it's time to make a deal. [10:49] And I say that. [10:50] Remember this, though. [10:52] We've given a lot to Ukraine. [10:54] We've gotten absolutely nothing back [10:56] except grief, death, tremendous monetary loss. [11:02] We've given incredible amounts of equipment and military, [11:07] primarily military equipment, but equipment of all kinds. [11:12] And it's time. [11:14] I gave them javelins when the stupid general for Russia, [11:20] a very stupid gentleman. [11:21] They had 1,000 tanks riding up a concrete highway. [11:25] They would have been in Ukraine in four hours, [11:28] going maximum tank speed, [11:30] which is 48 miles an hour, to be exact. [11:33] Nothing to stop them. [11:35] The war would have been over in one day. [11:37] And this very stupid general, I have no idea who he is. [11:39] I doubt he's still with us. [11:41] I doubt he's still living. [11:43] He decided to hang a right onto the farmland [11:48] and then take a left and go up to Kiev. [11:50] Kiev, and rather than staying on the highway, [11:55] the concrete highway, perfectly good highway, [11:58] where they were doing very nicely, [12:00] would have been there in three and a half, four hours. [12:03] And the whole war would have ended. [12:05] He ended up getting stuck in the mud. [12:08] It was like quicksand. [12:09] They had, the night before, [12:11] they had the heaviest rainfall they've had in 10 years. [12:14] And the land was soaking wet. [12:15] It was like quicksand. [12:16] Most people don't remember, but I do, [12:20] because it's called war. [12:21] You never know what happens. [12:23] But he made a terrible decision, [12:25] legendarily bad decision, [12:27] and the tanks got stuck. [12:29] They couldn't go forward. [12:30] They couldn't go back. [12:30] They were dead stuck. [12:32] And they used the javelins, [12:34] that's the anti-tank weapon that I gave them. [12:37] So, you know, the statement is, [12:41] Obama gave them sheets, [12:42] I gave them javelins. [12:44] So I've helped Ukraine a lot. [12:46] It's now time for them to end this war [12:50] and stop all those young people from being killed. [12:53] President, sir, I'll listen to you. [12:59] Hey, I'm not playing. [13:01] You better, you better, [13:02] I don't know who the hell you are, [13:03] but you better be careful. [13:05] Go ahead. [13:05] Can you confirm that the U.S. [13:07] is on the verge of a deal [13:08] to free the American teacher, [13:11] Stephen Hubbard, from Russia? [13:14] Just stick with me. [13:16] Nobody else was able to do it. [13:19] Just stick with me. [13:20] I don't want to talk about it, [13:22] but everybody's been after Hubbard [13:24] for a long time, [13:25] long before I got here. [13:28] And just to remember that question [13:32] for a couple of days from now, okay? [13:34] President Trump, [13:35] you know why? [13:37] Because I do things [13:38] that nobody else [13:41] can do. [13:42] I hate to say it. [13:43] So watch what happens. [13:45] We have been focused on Hubbard, [13:47] and we don't give $6 billion [13:49] like Biden. [13:51] We don't give the number one [13:52] in history, [13:54] the number one arms dealer [13:55] ever in history, [13:58] and get a basketball player back [13:59] and give $6 billion [14:00] on top of it. [14:02] The deals we made [14:03] were done by stupid people. [14:06] I've been talking to President Putin [14:08] about Mr. Hubbard. [14:09] I've been talking to him [14:11] at length. [14:12] I've asked him to release him. [14:15] Let's see what happens. [14:16] Okay? [14:17] Let's see what happens. [14:18] I'd love to get him back. [14:20] It's time to have Mr. Hubbard back. [14:23] Yeah. [14:23] Mr. President, [14:24] I have a question. [14:25] Are you guys okay with this [14:26] or are you bored? [14:28] You get bored. [14:29] Not bored, sir. [14:29] Not bored. [14:30] It's good. [14:31] Mr. President, [14:32] let him go, [14:34] and then you go. [14:35] Thank you, sir. [14:36] For a peace deal [14:38] to happen in Ukraine, [14:40] does that mean Zelensky [14:41] and Putin [14:42] will have to be [14:43] in the same room [14:44] at the same time [14:45] to sign that agreement? [14:46] I don't know. [14:46] I mean, it depends. [14:47] They don't have to be [14:48] in the same room. [14:49] I guess they can do it [14:49] another way. [14:51] It's hard for them [14:52] to be in the same room. [14:54] I don't care how it's done. [14:57] I don't want to see [14:58] 32,000, 25,000. [15:00] Every month, [15:00] I get a report [15:01] 25,000, [15:03] 28,000, [15:04] 27,000, [15:05] 32,000, [15:06] 34,000 [15:07] four months ago. [15:09] Soldiers killed a month. [15:11] It's the craziest thing [15:12] I've ever heard of. [15:13] Over what? [15:14] Yeah, please. [15:15] Mr. President, [15:16] I have a question [15:16] for you and for Nick. [15:17] Can I ask the one [15:18] to Nick first? [15:18] Go ahead. [15:19] Nick, good to meet you. [15:20] William Nelson [15:21] with Salem Media. [15:22] Nick, in my home state [15:23] of California, [15:24] Gavin Newsom signed a law [15:25] that's been dubbed [15:26] the Stop Nick Shirley Act [15:27] after your videos [15:28] exposing billions [15:30] in immigration fraud. [15:31] Why is he so intent [15:33] on silencing you [15:34] and your work? [15:36] California, [15:36] they actually need the fraud. [15:37] That's why when I exposed [15:38] the fraud in Minnesota, [15:40] California, [15:40] instead of going after [15:41] the fraudsters, [15:42] they came after me. [15:43] And so with this law [15:44] dubbed the Stop Nick Shirley Act, [15:45] it will give somebody [15:47] who's enrolled in this program [15:48] who works inside [15:49] of immigration support [15:49] service providers, [15:51] they can then give me [15:51] a piece of paper [15:52] and say I cannot publish [15:53] that video. [15:54] So it's a direct violation [15:55] of the First Amendment. [15:56] And the reason why [15:57] they're attacking me [15:57] is because I'm going after [15:58] what funnels and funds [16:00] all these crazy [16:01] delusional ideas [16:02] inside their states. [16:03] It's one of the most [16:04] incredible things [16:06] I've ever seen. [16:07] In other words, [16:08] you cannot in California [16:10] basically stop fraud. [16:12] You know why? [16:13] Because they want fraud. [16:14] Because they're crooked. [16:15] They're all crooked politicians. [16:17] One of the most [16:17] crooked states [16:19] anywhere in the world. [16:20] Not here. [16:21] Anywhere in the world. [16:22] California, Minnesota, [16:23] a lot of them. [16:24] But we're changing that. [16:25] And we're going to be [16:26] fighting by your side, Steve. [16:27] We're going to be [16:28] fighting by your side. [16:29] You shouldn't be fighting [16:30] that whole thing alone. [16:31] What Nick is describing [16:33] and what the president [16:34] is describing [16:35] is a criminal conspiracy [16:36] where a state [16:37] knowingly aids [16:39] in advance fraud [16:40] that's funneled [16:41] into these communities, [16:42] again, oftentimes [16:42] migrant communities. [16:43] They then use those funds [16:45] to fund the Democrat Party. [16:46] So it's a self-enrichment [16:48] scheme that's being exposed [16:49] that is fundamentally [16:50] a criminal conspiracy. [16:51] It reminds me of California [16:53] that if you ask [16:54] a person for identification [16:57] during a voting process, [16:59] they put you in jail. [17:01] In other words, [17:01] if you say, [17:03] do you have voter ID? [17:04] Do you have proof [17:05] of citizenship? [17:07] If you ask those words, [17:09] they put you in jail. [17:11] I would say they're equal. [17:13] Yes. [17:14] No. [17:15] You're dealing [17:16] with very corrupt people. [17:18] These are corrupt politicians. [17:20] Weak. [17:21] Well, Gavin Newsom [17:22] admits that he's [17:24] a stupid person. [17:25] He admits that he was [17:26] a man who had poor results [17:31] on virtually every test [17:33] he ever took. [17:34] He cannot read a speech. [17:35] He's incapable of... [17:36] And it's interesting. [17:37] I didn't know what he meant [17:38] by that. [17:38] He couldn't read a speech. [17:40] I saw him make a speech [17:41] and who doesn't read it? [17:43] He can't. [17:43] He cannot read. [17:44] He cannot read. [17:45] There's something wrong with him. [17:46] And when you have, you know, [17:50] what they did with Nick [17:51] or, you know, [17:52] I think probably [17:53] pretty much equal, [17:54] but maybe that's even worse [17:56] if you want to know [17:57] the truth, Nick, [17:57] because it has to do [17:58] with voting. [17:59] If a man who works [18:01] in the Election Bureau [18:02] asks, [18:03] may I see your papers, please? [18:06] Do you have voter ID? [18:07] Do you have anything [18:08] having to do [18:09] with proof of citizenship? [18:11] You've created [18:12] an illegal act [18:13] and you go to jail. [18:14] That's pretty much... [18:16] That's the same thing. [18:18] Thank you, sir. [18:19] So along the same lines [18:20] of that last question, [18:21] are you concerned about [18:23] if after your presidency [18:24] a Democrat is in office [18:25] that they would try [18:26] and target someone [18:28] like Nick [18:28] or anyone, [18:29] a reporter [18:29] that had written a story [18:31] about fraud [18:31] that was in a group state? [18:33] Sure. [18:34] We have the power of pardon. [18:35] If I see somebody [18:36] that's unfairly treated, [18:37] I have the power of pardons. [18:39] There's those that say [18:40] it's the strongest power [18:41] a president has. [18:42] And if I have to use it [18:43] to protect people like Nick, [18:45] I'd use it very openly, [18:46] very gladly. [18:47] But they've already said [18:48] they're going to... [18:49] Yep. [18:50] Weaponize. [18:50] Look, [18:51] the governor [18:53] of a couple of states [18:55] have made statements. [18:57] But the senator [18:58] from Michigan [18:58] made a statement yesterday [19:00] that was amazing [19:00] where they want [19:01] to frighten people, [19:02] young people, [19:03] from ever working [19:04] in the Trump administration [19:06] or a Republican administration [19:09] that they want to go [19:10] and they want to frighten people. [19:13] And I heard it [19:14] without commentary. [19:16] And I said, [19:16] wow, that's pretty bad. [19:18] That's pretty bad. [19:19] And then I heard commentary. [19:20] And even the most liberal commentators [19:23] couldn't believe [19:24] that she made that statement. [19:25] And she's a lightweight, [19:26] by the way, [19:26] total lightweight, [19:28] stupid person. [19:29] She's a person [19:30] that should be tried [19:33] for what she did [19:34] where she said, [19:35] no, no, [19:35] we control government. [19:37] You don't have to listen [19:38] to the president. [19:39] And we'll see what happens. [19:40] That's still, you know, [19:41] that's still up in the air. [19:42] But she made a statement [19:43] that was very, very dangerous, [19:46] a very dangerous statement. [19:47] Thank you. [19:50] Mr. President, [19:53] Mr. President, [19:53] France has free health care, [19:55] free child care, [19:56] a 35-hour work week, [19:58] and five weeks paid vacation. [20:00] Despite all that, [20:00] people are looting [20:01] and burning down parts [20:02] of their cities. [20:03] Do you think spending [20:04] a little more on education [20:05] is going to stop this? [20:06] No, it's not about education. [20:08] It's about immigration. [20:09] It's about illegal people [20:10] coming in [20:11] who basically hate France. [20:12] They hate the people. [20:13] They hate everything. [20:14] They hate the architecture. [20:15] You saw the building [20:16] from the mid-1800s [20:18] that fell down yesterday [20:20] that burned down [20:21] to the ground. [20:22] It was a tragic, tragic sight. [20:25] Now, these are people [20:25] that hate France, [20:26] but they've been let in. [20:28] They hate France, [20:29] but they've been let in. [20:31] And you have to get them out. [20:33] If you don't get them out, [20:34] you're not going to have a France. [20:34] Please. [20:37] For the Vice President, [20:38] for Adrian Ferguson, [20:39] back on the incentives [20:40] and the rewards, [20:41] is it 1% up to a $30,000 limit, [20:45] or is it unlimited? [20:47] No. [20:47] You go ahead. [20:47] It's 1%. [20:48] There's no limit. [20:50] Do you have any criminal charges [20:51] before someone's going to be able [20:53] to get this incentive money? [20:55] No. [20:55] I don't think so. [20:57] That's the answer. [20:58] I put while I'm ahead, Jim. [21:00] No, I just wanted to, [21:01] you know, [21:01] I didn't want to have you say, [21:02] oh, we disagree on something, [21:03] because we disagree on almost nothing, [21:05] believe it or not. [21:06] It is rather hard to believe. [21:07] Yes, sir. [21:08] But I figured if I answered it quickly, [21:09] I'll make sure it's good. [21:11] We don't have a problem. [21:12] But no, no, [21:13] it's not a criminal thing. [21:14] It's, we hope that they go to jail. [21:16] No. [21:17] If we recover the money, [21:18] that's what it is. [21:20] You get 1%. [21:21] And that includes you. [21:23] Go ahead, JD. [21:24] That's it, sir. [21:25] Our plan is not to limit this [21:27] just to criminal prosecutions. [21:29] It's as the President said, [21:30] if you find the money [21:31] and you help us recover it, [21:33] then you benefit from the program. [21:34] We're going to make it very easy [21:36] and very quick, [21:37] and people can make a lot of money. [21:40] But the only thing is, [21:41] we want to make sure [21:42] they're the people that turn it. [21:43] Mr. President Trump, [21:45] can you fill us in [21:48] on what Secretary Hegseth [21:50] spoke about [21:50] with Prime Minister Netanyahu? [21:51] I can't do that now. [21:52] No. [21:52] Mr. President, [21:57] Nick Shirley over here. [21:58] I love Salem, though. [22:01] I'd let him go. [22:02] I do like Salem. [22:04] Salem is good. [22:05] Go ahead. [22:05] The Pressure on the trade deal [22:06] with India is closed. [22:07] Can you go into that? [22:08] They want to make a deal? [22:09] We're going to make a deal? [22:10] They're pretty close, yeah. [22:12] It's going to be a much different [22:13] kind of a deal [22:14] than we've been there. [22:14] The Pressure on the foreign trade. [22:15] The Pressure on the foreign trade. [22:16] The Pressure on the foreign program, [22:17] sir, if I may ask you, [22:18] do you expect a phone [22:18] to ring off the hook, [22:20] as it were? [22:20] About what? [22:21] The Pressure on the foreign program. [22:22] The new... [22:22] I think it's going to ring [22:23] off the hook, yeah. [22:24] And is there enough money? [22:26] There's $25 million there [22:27] to, you know, [22:28] for reward money. [22:29] Is that enough? [22:29] I think it's tremendous. [22:31] I mean, if you look at it, [22:32] I was thinking about, [22:33] do we do 5%, 4%? [22:35] Then when you start looking [22:36] at the kind of numbers [22:37] you're talking about, [22:38] people will make millions [22:40] of dollars [22:40] by turning others in. [22:42] The Pressure on the President. [22:43] The Pressure on the President. [22:44] One last question. [22:45] Well, it could be [22:46] we're going to protect the people [22:47] if they want to be protected. [22:51] If there is a problem [22:52] with Ilhan Omar's age, [22:53] could she be deported? [22:55] Well, she could be. [22:56] She could also go to jail. [22:58] I mean, she could also go to jail. [22:59] You know, [23:00] they keep talking about deportation. [23:01] No, she could go to jail. [23:03] This is just my opinion. [23:05] I think she's a sick, [23:06] a very dishonest person, [23:08] but who hates our country. [23:12] And she comes from a country [23:15] that is essentially [23:16] not even a country, [23:17] Somalia. [23:19] It's a real shithouse, okay? [23:22] It's got no government. [23:24] It's got no police protection. [23:26] All they do is have people [23:27] running around [23:27] shooting each other. [23:28] Then she comes over here [23:29] and she'll say, [23:30] and she wants to tell us [23:31] how to run America. [23:33] She wants to tell us [23:34] how to run the United States [23:35] of America. [23:36] And she'll say, [23:37] oh, I have constitutional rights. [23:39] And she never heard [23:41] the word concept. [23:41] She never saw that before. [23:43] See that? [23:44] She never saw that before. [23:45] She says she has rights. [23:47] She's a disgrace to our country. [23:49] And it's amazing that [23:51] she can get elected, [23:53] but Somalians vote for her. [23:54] You know, [23:54] Somalians vote for her. [23:56] And most of them [23:57] shouldn't be here. [23:58] Do you know they have [23:58] like a 98% unemployment rate? [24:01] They don't work. [24:02] 98%. [24:03] It's a disgrace. [24:05] It's a disgrace. [24:06] And they've ruined [24:07] a great state. [24:08] You know, [24:08] you have a great state. [24:10] I remember Minnesota [24:11] in the old days. [24:12] What a beautiful, [24:14] what a beautiful, [24:14] with lakes all over the place [24:16] and more lakes [24:16] than any place [24:17] I've ever seen. [24:18] So beautiful. [24:19] They're destroying it probably. [24:21] Maybe they've destroyed it. [24:23] And I only hope [24:24] a Republican woman [24:25] who happens to be [24:26] very respected [24:27] by everybody [24:27] gets in [24:29] because you will see [24:29] a difference. [24:30] But I will say this. [24:32] I hope they [24:35] treat her fairly. [24:37] But I think [24:38] she's a very [24:39] dishonest person. [24:40] President Trump! [24:40] Mr. President! [24:41] Mr. President! [24:42] Mr. President! [24:43] Mr. President! [24:43] Mr. President! [24:44] Mr. President! [24:44] Mr. President! [24:45] Mr. President! [24:46] Mr. President! [24:46] In the new Fox News [24:48] power rankings, [24:49] it shows that [24:49] less than a quarter [24:50] of rural voters [24:51] are happy [24:51] with the state [24:52] of the economy. [24:53] Are you concerned [24:53] about these people [24:54] to adopt this? [24:54] No, because as soon [24:55] as the war's over, [24:56] it's going to end [24:56] very soon. [24:57] The Iran war, [24:58] I had no choice. [24:59] You can't let them have it. [25:00] It's the number one [25:01] state sponsor of terror. [25:02] As soon as that war [25:04] is over, [25:05] oil is going to drop [25:06] like a rock, [25:07] and that's the only [25:08] thing holding it back. [25:09] No, we have [25:10] tremendous support. [25:11] You know, [25:12] when people are unhappy [25:14] with the gasoline, [25:15] I hate to sound trivial, [25:16] but they say it [25:19] themselves. [25:19] It's a big price, [25:21] but actually it's [25:22] a small price to pay [25:23] for not letting Iran [25:24] have a nuclear weapon. [25:26] And they will never [25:27] have a nuclear weapon. [25:27] And that's already, [25:29] but we could leave [25:29] right now, [25:31] and we would have [25:31] done a good job, [25:32] a great job. [25:34] That beautiful plane [25:35] right there took them out, [25:36] but it's under [25:37] hundreds of tons [25:38] of rock. [25:40] But it's not good [25:42] enough for me. [25:42] We have to make sure [25:43] it doesn't happen [25:44] in five years, [25:46] six years, [25:46] ten years, [25:47] and that's what's [25:48] going to happen. [25:49] So it really is, [25:50] it's a very small price [25:51] to pay for not letting [25:53] the most dangerous [25:54] country in the world [25:56] have a nuclear weapon. [25:57] President Trump, [25:58] President Trump, [25:59] you own a lot [26:03] of golf clubs. [26:04] Quiet, quiet. [26:06] What's wrong with you? [26:07] Are you a sick person? [26:09] Not that I know him, sir. [26:10] Mr. President, [26:11] on the Vitares... [26:12] I actually think [26:13] there's something [26:14] wrong with you. [26:15] Go ahead. [26:15] I wanted to ask [26:16] Mr. President, [26:18] since we have [26:18] the Vice President here, [26:20] the Vice President [26:21] said in an interview [26:21] yesterday that he thought [26:23] that you would endorse him [26:24] if he does decide [26:25] to run in 2028, [26:27] since we're here. [26:28] Could you tell us... [26:28] Well, I tell you [26:29] this, [26:30] he's a very talented [26:31] person, [26:32] and he's a very good [26:33] person, [26:34] but we've literally, [26:35] I don't think we've ever [26:36] talked about it. [26:37] No, sir. [26:38] I said that, too. [26:39] You know, [26:39] who would believe that? [26:40] I don't talk about it [26:41] with him. [26:41] He doesn't talk about it. [26:42] It's early. [26:43] We are very early [26:44] right now. [26:45] We have to get through [26:45] the midterms. [26:46] We'll see how it goes. [26:47] I'm going to a rally [26:48] in North Carolina. [26:50] We had an amazing rally [26:52] last night, [26:53] Kansas, [26:54] for a tremendous, [26:55] a tremendous person, [26:57] a number of great people, [26:58] but in particular, [27:00] a senator who's done [27:01] a fantastic job, [27:02] as you know, [27:03] Roger. [27:04] And I think Roger Marshall [27:07] was helped a lot [27:08] last night [27:08] when we had that. [27:10] I think it was, [27:11] it really took him [27:12] to a very high level, [27:13] which, [27:13] where he should be. [27:16] But I've done a lot [27:17] of rallies [27:18] in the last week, [27:21] and I guess we're up [27:23] to 10 or 11, [27:25] and it's not easy [27:26] to stand up there [27:27] for two hours [27:28] ranting, raving. [27:30] You have the crowds, [27:31] but there's a lot [27:32] of love in those rooms, [27:33] and I think it's [27:34] made a big difference. [27:35] It's made a, [27:36] the Republican Party [27:37] has got tremendous spirit, [27:40] tremendous spirit, [27:41] tremendous love, [27:42] and I'm going to be [27:43] going for another one. [27:44] I'll be going also [27:45] to Ohio, [27:46] where our candidate, [27:48] who turned out [27:49] to be a great football player [27:50] that a lot of people, [27:51] I mean, [27:52] a great player, [27:53] not a good player, [27:54] a great player, [27:55] but he's a humble man, [27:56] and he didn't brag about it. [27:57] I would have been [27:58] bragging like hell about it. [27:59] I would have said, [27:59] I'm an All-American. [28:01] I ripped the heads [28:02] off people. [28:03] You know, [28:03] John Gruden, [28:05] who's a fantastic guy, [28:06] great coach, [28:07] and he was a very good [28:08] college player. [28:09] He said that he was up [28:12] to be with his friend. [28:14] He said, [28:14] what are you doing here? [28:16] And he was saying how, [28:17] and this is our candidate, [28:19] who nobody, [28:20] I guess, [28:20] actually people from Ohio, [28:22] a small group of sports, [28:24] big sports fans knew, [28:25] but we found out [28:28] about the real man, [28:30] and you probably saw [28:33] the polls. [28:33] He's now leading, [28:34] and he was down [28:35] by quite a bit, [28:37] but I looked at the jersey, [28:41] Usted, [28:42] and Usted was a real, [28:43] he was a real, [28:45] he was a top-of-the-line player. [28:46] John Gruden said, [28:48] they had the championship team. [28:50] He said he was the best player [28:51] on the team. [28:51] He had 17 interceptions. [28:53] He was an All-American. [28:55] Nobody knew this, [28:56] and in Ohio, [28:58] when you have those credentials, [29:00] it helps, [29:01] and that was an unbelievable rally, [29:03] but we've gotten others up also. [29:05] We've gotten them way up, [29:05] so let's see what happens. [29:07] I think you're going to have a good, [29:08] you know, [29:08] I watched our Speaker of the House, [29:10] and he talks about the fact [29:14] that there's a lot of things going on [29:17] that the media's not seeing. [29:19] I really believe it, too. [29:20] I just feel there's a great, [29:21] I don't know. [29:22] The President always loses, [29:25] for whatever reason, [29:27] the midterms. [29:27] Whoever it is, [29:28] Republican, Democrat, [29:29] great President, [29:31] lousy President, [29:32] for some reason, [29:33] I guess they've won [29:34] two out of 25. [29:35] I don't, I don't know. [29:36] Oz, is there a reason [29:37] you can think of medically? [29:39] Why do people vote? [29:40] But there should be no reason. [29:42] In fact, you'd think it would be [29:43] an asset, not a liability. [29:45] But Presidents, [29:46] they go in, [29:46] good ones, bad ones, [29:47] Republicans, Democrats, [29:49] they tend to lose the midterms. [29:52] We'll see what happens. [29:54] I do say this. [29:55] When I was on the ticket, [29:57] when I ran, [29:58] we won everything. [30:00] We won everything. [30:01] When I don't run, [30:02] people don't show up to vote [30:03] by 49%. [30:04] Exactly. [30:05] It's very, you know, [30:05] no great science. [30:06] It's 49% less. [30:08] If I can get my voters, [30:11] MAGA, Republicans, [30:12] whatever you want to call, [30:14] if they get out to vote, [30:15] we'll win in a landslide. [30:16] But they have to want [30:17] to get out to vote. [30:18] And if you're not on the ballot, [30:21] it's a little harder. [30:21] So I'm asking them [30:23] to pretend I'm on the ballot. [30:24] Thank you very much, everybody. [30:26] Thank you. [30:26] Thank you so much, guys. [30:31] Keep your head out that door. [30:32] Thank you, guys. [30:33] Thank you for us. [30:34] Thank you, guys. [30:35] I better not get involved. [30:37] There's a looming lockout. [30:38] There's a looming lockout [30:39] coming at Major League Baseball, [30:40] as we know. [30:40] I think it will. [30:41] That is going to happen. [30:43] Two teams are lower salary. [30:45] Do you think that doesn't impact? [30:46] Okay. [30:46] Let's do it another. [30:47] Nobody cares. [30:50] Thank you. [30:52] Keep moving. [30:53] You guys, you guys. [30:54] All right.
